COL. WATROUS.

The Temple of Honor of this city gave
an open temple on Monday night. There
were number of songs and addresses.
Col. Watrous, Sam Randolph and Henry
SANFORD being among the sp eakers. A
large crowd was present. Col. Watrouss
address was listened to with the closest
attention. The Colonel is not naturally
fluent speaker, but his earnes mess, his
sincerity and good sense make him one
of the most attractive speakers of the
state. There may be more elegant and
finished speakers in Wisconsin; there are
none who can make deeper impression
upon an audience. Mr.. Watrous is a
great favorite throughout the state but
it is his worth and true manliness that
commend him and not any effort on his
part to court popularity. No other man
in the state has done as much in the
cause of temperance yet 10 one can &C
cuse him of fanaticism or illiberality. He
is earnest without being violent, and in
dustrious without being obtrusive. We
class Colonel Watrous with those gentle
men who derive their patent of nobility
from manly worth. Mr.. Watrous intends
to discontinue lecturing and perhaps will
no longer accept the high position in the
order to which he has SO often and SO
deservedly been elected. 1t will be
serious loss to the order as there is no
man in the state who can fill his place.
He is now one of the editors of the Sun
day Telegraph and We presume the pub
LEGATION of that paper together with the
appeal renders it almost impossible for
him to continue other duties. The Col.
has made friends here outside the order
as we'll as in it who will hear with pleas
IRE of his success in anything he may
undertake.

AfR. WrrrMASs has been in Milwaukee

MR. WHITMAN has been in Milwaukee
for some time placing his guards on
Broadway st. bridge. They were fully
tested by the city engineer, the Board of
Public Works and. the Committee on
Bridges and all expressed themselves
highly pleased with the invention. The
Board OF Public Works say that they
have long wanted guards of that kind and
will place them On every bridge in the
city. With the success of these guards
in Milwaukee there can be no doubt that
they will come into general use in every
city of the union. We congratulate the
gentlemen who have expended so much
time and money in these guards On tie
success of which they are now assured.

DROWNED.

On the 10th of November a satchel
was found floating in the river of which
mention was made in the PILOT of that
week. There was not much attention
given to the circumstance as the contents
of the satchel gave evidence that the
owner was a resident of Liberty and no
person appeared to be missing from that
town. A short while after Mr.. B. Morris
of Liberty received letter from friend
in the lumber woods inquiring after the
health of his son, who, the letter stated,
had left the lumber camp for home,
being too unwell to work. Mr.. Morris
heard of the satchel being found in the
river and came to this city and identified
the satchel as that of his son. He i'm
mediately telegraphed to Green Bay
asking whether his son had left that
place for home, and received telegram
in response stating that he had taken the
afternoon train for home on the 18th.
This confirmed his fears and many sns-
pected that young Morris met his death
at the hands Of some persons while on
his way from the depot il this city to a
hotel. On Sunday last the river was
dragged at the foot of Ninth street at the
south side and the body was found. It
furnished no evidence of foul play and
the manner of his death is now easily
accounted for. He had reached the city
On the night of the 18th by the 11.30
train. The night was pitch dark. He
was accustomed to stop at the hotel of
Martin Hewitt He mistook Ninth
street for Eighth, that on which the
bridge is. and stepped into the river
from the dock. No one was near at that
hour to render any assistance and he was
drowned. His body was found just
where he had walked into the river.
James Morris, the deceased, was a
young man about II years of age. He
went to the lumber woods the latter part
of October and after working three days
became sick. He was a very sober in
dustrious young man and an onl y son.
His parents have the sympathy of all
who know the sad circumstances. HIS
hands were clinched and full of gravel.

0 MOSES AND THE COUNTY
BOARD.

A correspondent makes some strict use:
in this Issue upon the county board fol
some of their actions at the late session
The equalization made by the county
board receives his severest animadyer.
sions. While we do not agree with oul
| correspondent as to the proportion of the
taxes of the county which the city should
justly bear we have no intention TO take
issue with him on that point, at least we
deem it the duty OF some member of the
board to correct the impression which
the communication is calculated to make
and do not wish to obtrude upon that
right. Whatever may be the just share
of the city, we know that some property
in the city is not worth the taxes assess
cd upon it for one year, and we know
that some personal property in the city
pays much larger percentage of taxes
which are not local, than property of
much greater value outside the city. The
fault may be attributed to imperfect To-
cal equalization Or assessment. Mr..
White as member Of the city board of
equalization worked earnestly to have
all taxable property listed, and to pre-
vent any from escaping taxation. He
probably made enemies by a course
which should have made him friends.
We venture the assertion that no men,
Der of board OF equalization outside
the city worked with equal industry or
so materially changed the returns of the
assessor. We do not purpose to discuss
the matter of equalization however as we
feel we are trespassing upon the pro-
vince of others.
In regard to the raising of salaries.
We are not prepared to defend the coun-
ty board for increasing the salaries of
county clerk or of county treasurer. In
deed we should be pleaaed to have some
good reason assigned for this step. The
necessity for an increase has not struck
the people generally with as much force
as it has the county board. So far as
district attorney is concerned we feel
that the salary as now fixed by the board
does not compensate that officer for the
work done. Whether our correspondent
in his future letters intends to make any
discrimination in regard to this officer
we are unable to say nor do we presume
to outline any course for him, which he
would be sure to reject. But for each of
the last two years we know that the dis
trict attorney has done work for the
county which if done for individuals
would have earned him $1,000. We must
discriminate between extravaganza and
just compensation. The people will look
with interest for the promised communi-
cation on this subject. They are equally
interested in any explanation by the
board.

THE Coming Conflict, by r., printed
in this paper, is a surprise to us and
we think will be to many Of the read
ers OF the TELEGRAPH. We are no
little aStOnished that r. should write
such an article. Robert Ingersol and
Liberalism compared with Robespierre
and other monsters of the French rev.
olution! Who would have thought
that r. could make such a comparison?
He seems not to know or to forget that
there is a considerable class of people
who have labOred and are laborng
with all their might to secure an
amendment Of the Z. S. constitution,
recognizing their God and Religion, the
Interior design of which is believed to
be to exclude from the jury box and
witness stand all who do not believe
as they do, and that the chief purpose
of Liberal Leagues is for organized op-
position to such measures. The dam
ger is not with Robert IngersOll and
Liberalism but with that part of ortEo-
doX rcligionists who are, as it were.
moving heaven and earth to have their
God and Religion put in the constitu-
tiOn
