SUPERIOR, Wis. Sept. IL, 1878.
JAMES S. RIrcHIK, Esq, District Attorney,
Douglas County, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-Last weeks TINES over your
name puts my name under "That Ring
Again"
And take this method to disclose the
facts which you neglected to disclose.
The first fact is that you are the District
Attorney of this county and was such when
the actions, you refer to, were commenced.
The second fact is that you as District
Attorney never in any way appeared for the
county.
The third fact is that in March last the
actions were dismissed and the plaintiff g
were adiudged to pay some $50 or $40 costs.
The fourth fact is that you in some way
became the custodian Of $50 or $40, if not
all the money necessary to pay these costs.
Ny client, the owner of the sheriff sale
certificate, you mention, is content to let his
ten per cent interest accrue; but at any time
you viii band over the money and interest,
some S45 now, he will at once put an end TO
your assumption tha: it, or any part of it
belongs to your county.
In conclusion as one who pays his taxes,
| might ask why you did not pay over the
money yourself to the county treasurer be.
fore the court ordered you to disgorge? In
short the ''ring" you delight to mention has
in it a gem (Jim) that betrays its chief fol
keeping back-pay.
| As to the railroad tools and ties may
add that, as the law officer of the county
you commit the county as party in interest
and render Us, beyond doubt, liable to pay
the bonds. Truly Yours,
THos CLARK.

How unpopular habits of thrift
and SAVING have become is shown
in the violent Kissing which followed
the remark of a witness before the
congressional committee in New
York, that many who are now
suffering might have been comfort
able if they had taken care to save
part of their earnings in better
times. The man who saves, and is
SO weak as to devote to the good of
his family the FIVE and ten-cent
pieces and quarters that he might
guzzle away, need not expect to be
a pleasing object for some years to
come. We are spirited people.
and We must spend and waste to
show that we are nothing less.

Northern Pacific Wheat Shipments.
Il Telegram to the Pioneer Press

Special Telegram to the Pioneer Press.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sep. THE
new wheat crop Of the Northern
Pacific country commenced to move
eastward about week ago, and is
now pouring through in a pretty
constant stream. Last Saturday
the Lake Superior Transportation
Company's steamer Idaho cleared
with 1850 bushels, and 1900 bar
rels of flour, and on Tuesday the
Japan with 1000 bushels of wheat
and 1000 barrels of -four. Thurs
day the Nyack cleared with lO,5Oo
bushels of wheat and $500 barrels
of -four. To-day the India lett with
$4,000 bushels of wheat and 5000
barrels Of flour, making total of
rs, 900 bushels of wheat and eleven
thousand barrels of -four shipped
through this port within a week by
this line of steamers only. All of
this wheat is from the line of the
Northern Pacific, aud classed No.
l. None to speak of has yet been
received from the southern part of
the state.
RAILROAD NEWS.
The Illinois Central wants
connection with the North
ern Pacific just now, while our rail
road interests are at war lock
over the important traffic with
Manitoba. The Illinois seems to
be throwing out feelers with view
to secure part il not the whole
prize. Agents and engineers have
for week or more been locking
into the matter OF a connection be-
tween Ashland and Superior by rail,
which, if it can be effected, would
induce them to undertake the CON
struction of the line of the Duluth
& Winnipeg railroad, which would
conn ect the two cities of Chicago
and Winnipeg by the shortest pos
sible route Of seven hundred miles.
Our State land grant to the Duluth
& Winnipeg road of ten sections to
the mile, secured by the ineorpora-
ton by act Of the Legislature, and
the fact that the line runs through a
country rich in soil, minerals and
timber, would seem to make the
scheme far moro practicable. II
your correspondent is correctly in
formed arrangements are already
made for preliminary survey from
Duluth to Winnipeg, a distance OF
800 miles.

We hear Of a man and team killed
by lightning, in Udolpho, last week, but
can learn nothing definite.
Harvesting commenced Monday. In
this vicinity and Udolpho there is pros.
pect of a fair crop, but the blight has
destroyed large expectations.
The high old rise of the Cedar river
removed considerable hay but did nc
other damage except TO a few bridges on
some Of the small streams. We expected
to see our mill damaged but it is all
right so far.
The friends of Judge Page in this

more troublesome. We vote them q nui

The farmers from the west part of the

condition of the wheat. Some claim they
will not have half a crop. Most all OF
them agree that the "Lost Nation'' wheat
is failure. Some think it will not be
worth harvesting.

PAGES only friend, the St. Paul Dis
patch, is becoming disguised with him
as wituesseth the following:
When the impeachment trial closed, the
weary and wasted people Of Minnesota
sincerely hoped that they had heard the
last of the Mower county unpleasant.
ness 1t was hoped that Judge Page, By
his dignified conduct on and Of the
bench, would justify the confidence of
his friends. He knew that he would be
subject to gross Misrepresentation, and
his language and conduct should have
been thoroughly guarded. Perhaps il
has been. The only channel through
which his utterances at the grand recep.
ton given him have been gwen to the
public, is VIGOROUSLY hostile and unreli.
able. But according to that authority he
used expressions and INDUCED in threats
which were certainly very unbecoming
one IN his position. If he has been
misrepresented, he should promptly give
an authentic version of his remarks. The
Dispatch believed, and stated its belief,
that there was NO evidence before the
court to warrant his impeachment. But
We have no intention of enlisting for life
under his banner, right or wr0ng-and
never had. = - ~

English Diplomacy.

Many papers which few months age

Russia invited the christian world to
assist her in compelling Turkey TO desist
from her inhuman and hellish treatment
OF christian subjects. The christianity
of Europe refused to do a manifest right,
lest a possible wrong might result, and
left their defenseless brethren to the mer-

eminent, determined alone to be the
avenger, aud has accomplished IN every
single particular the work she set out do.

exacted more than she ever expected to
retain, and made excrbitant claims that
she might show the grace Of ready con-
cession thereafter. .s .s4 ,..-.
Meanwhile, England played the part
of the coward]y bully, and endeavored
