MILL HOME.
April 10Th, 1879.

April 18th, 1879.
To-day the board of supervisors met
at Mr.. Tiedeman's office, in Kiel, to grant
town licences to saloon and hotel keepers.
At an early hour they began to file into
the place of meeting, some with their
bonds and greenbacks in their fingers,
others with their little petitions praying
for the privilege of quarterly payments,
but all wearing faces each ''long as wet
Sunday" A license costs S25 cash paid
down. The board were willing to take
the fee in four installments Quarterly,
but in that case would increase it to fifty
dollars, this was objected to by the APP
plcants who felt somewhat disposed to
grumble until they learned that 'stown
license" in Chiffon, this year, costs $3.50,
when each with silent Thanksgiving that
he did not live in that bulldozing locality
took his receipt from the clerk and him
self to the bar, and there set the Kielites
and example in the way they should pat
ronize this institution.
To-day also, the toll gate was sold, and
for the sum of 1856. Mr.. Bruss has for
another year legal right to ask you
where you came from and where you are
going to, and to tell you what it costs to
travel on the plank road.
There was photograph on exhibition
in Kiel, Wednesday night, and quite
number went to see it. 1t talked laugh
ed and sung, coughed, sneezed, swore
ard prayed, and nothing was said, but
when it repeated the notes of waltz
played on horn the audience wanted to
finger the machine, and all the eloquent
philosophical explanations OF the courte-
Gus manager failed TO convince them that
there was not diminutive Tom Thumb
slowed away somewhere in the thing.
The Kiel school closes for the year on
the 10Th inst, and with it Mr.. Barragars
career as teacher, to take up the study
Of medicine. His lnd and gentIemanly
department while here has won him
host of friends, whose best wishes he will
take with him in his new enterprise.
-Four new doctors and matchmaker
are the latest additions to kiel thriving

fessional ability OF the former be proper
tionate to their avoirdupoise-and / have
no reason to doubt it-then death is a
goner in this locality, and we have De

The reply of Prof. Swing of Chicago
to the address of Col. Ingersoll is a val
liable contribution to polemic literature.
The reply is equal to the best efforts of
Ingersoll in beauty of diction and far
superior IN argumentative ability. 1t COM
mends itself to thinking men for the rea-
son that it does not bring everything
within the purview of faith. Faith has
ceased to be a protecting shield against
the blows of ridicule and turbulence. 1t
no longer screens the mind from desire
for investigation. If the clergy are earn
est in their desire to iuterpose obstacles
to the diffusion of that spirit of inquiry
which questions the existence of a deity,
they must not act as if faith were their
only bulwark.
Some BODY has said in reference To
GIoDonS structures on christianity:
''Who can refute a sneer?" Prof. Swing
has managed to refute most admirably
number of sneers and ingenious attacks
OF inSefSou on constantly. lie has
done it SO well that those who sympa-
thize with the brilliant infdel must ac-
knowledge that he has received palpable
hits, and done it SO gentlemanly as to
receive the commentator of his oppo-
nent Col. lngersoll has greater repu-
tation than Prof. Swing, but let the two
men stand on the record made by 'sAIis-
takes of Moses" and the reply which it
ELECTED, and that scriptural antithesis,
''the last shall be first and the first last"
will be fully verified.

SENATOR CARPENTER.

The Milwaukee Sentinel publishes a
short extract from the speech of Senator
Carpenter on the admission of Bell to
the United States Senate, which displays
more genuine craftsmanship and consid-
era ion for the welfare OF the country
than the vast deluge OF speeches called
forth by the appropriation bills and their
riders. Mr.. Carpenter said that the
senate should look upon the question as
judges rather than partisans. To give
sincere expression to such sentiment at
time when the Judge is sunk in the
partisan betokens a degree of courage
and habit of Independent thought as
rare SIS 1t is praiseworthy. Senator Car
penter has been abused because of the
position he has taken in this matter, but
let those who vilify him because of his
courage in expressing his convictions
consider whether they are not more hon
ored in being represented by an honest,
independent republican than by hypo-
critic whose opinions are always shaped
IN obedience to party.
What both parties need, is such men
as Carpenter is proving himself to be,
men who cannot be depended upon to
trample upon right at the dictates of
party leaders. Guided by such men,
everything would not be sacrificed to
secure temporary party success. Party
would be but an organization seeking
the public good, and the rancor of oppo-
sition would give way to a noble emula-
ton. Senator Carpenter is the represent
tative of a republican state and it is to
be expected that he will act with his
party On all measures which do not do
violence to his sense of right. But
Judging from the position he has SO far
taken Mr.. Carpenter is not going to sur
render, Internationally, his privilege of
thinking for himself to any party. In
the future, when mems passions have
sufficiently subsidized to take dispassion-
ate view of the events which the present
is making for history, there will be more
honor in having belonged to the party
which in the senate is confined to Car
penter Bayard and Davis than there is
obloquy at present in being one of the
triumvirate, and these mems names will
be mentioned with respect when the
stalwart Blaine will be execrated. indie.
pendence always outlives the passionate
acting of demagogues.

REPUBLICAN journals have.a great deal
to say about the number of confederate
soldiers now in congress. Unless the
same rule is adopted in the selection of
representatives and senators that the
United States courts use in the south to
exclude intelligence from the jury box.
confederate soldiers must find their way
into congress, as the intelligent and real
~ able men OF the south did not exercise
the same degree of caution Blaine did in
keeping out of harms way.
In the state of Wisconsin the demo-
Gratis elect two union soldiers to congress
out of representation OF three. How
many of the nine whom the republicans
send to Washington have been in the
army?

BLAINE took occasion to eensure Speak
err Randall for appointing number of
southern men as chairmen of important
committees. Senator Beck proved that
while Blaine was speaker the chairmen
of al the important committees, and al
most q majority of all the chairmen, were
chosen from New England. Blaine is
hardly in a position to find fault with
any action Of the speaker in appointing
committees or III making ruling. His
rulings in the house in the interests of
railroad corporations can be remembered
too clearly.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel says that
although Secretary Sherman has during
his service as secretary of the treasury,
served the country more than ny other
man in the union daring that time, that
his chances for the republican nominal
ton for the presidency are far from good.
But if he had busted himself during his
incumbency in knocking down southern
brigadiers, he would occupy a front rank
in the race The SentiaeFs good sense
withstands stalwartism well. 1t is the
organ of that extinct species of republi-
caaism which commended itself to the
people by efforts to DC good, and not by
going through war in pantomime.

every negro that would emigrate from

published the circular and makes severe
comments upon It.

Senator Blaine was rather severe on
the democrats for giving European coun-
tries to understand by implication, that
the rights of tho people in the United
States were placed in jeopardy through
the power of the military. Wen, no

BLAINE, the bully, who is now so anx-
ious TO fight the south when they have
thrown down their arms, actually hired

the Zulus lost 2, 500 men and the English

THE republican congressman held a
caucus last Friday and resolved not to
make a single concession, and to fight it
out if it took all summer and all winter
too. Well, if President Hayes vetoes
the appropriation bills at the solicitation
of republicans, the people will hardly be
satisfied by a discussion of JEFF Davis.
Jeff Davis has served great many pur-
poses. but he will hardly serve in lieu of
an appropriation.
