The following extract so appropriate to
the position now assumed by the Democrat
ic Congress, is from the speech Of Hon.
John 1. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, in the
House, April 26th:
In view Of this survival of 'iIhe lost
cause" and revival of this active and still
living spirit Of secession, ! do not wonder
the question is now mooted: Wherefore
the warp The democratic party now rules
both Houses Of Congress. Nearly two to
one Of tn Democrats in each House come
from the South; therefore the solid South
rules the Democratic party and Southern
supremacy stsres US in the face in the ma
tion. This is q momentous and portentous
event which l trust Northern people begin
to understand.
In this connection 1 quote the following
poem, which believe expresses a widely
extended feeling at the North:

A GOOD ENDORSEMENT.

The Whitewater Register, whose
editor, Hon. E. ID. Coe, was chair
man of the Committee on State AT
fairs in the Legislature of 1879, and
thereby specially qualified to judge
of the efficiency of our State Officers,
with whom he had much official in
tercourse has the following to say
concerning two of them:
There is no question among IN
prejudiced people, but that Supt.
Whitford has been one of the most
yigilant and successful educational
officers the State has ever bad. The
educational interests of Wisconsin
have never been cared for better
than under this administration. He
has been particularly active iii look
ing after the interests OF the common
schools and the work he has done in
that direction will exert its influence
for good throughout all the future
history of the State. Yet he has
been thoughtlessly or recklessly ac-
cused of negligence in this very re
spect. A more unjust accusation
was never made against II public
officer.
Another Of our public officers,
Atty. Gen. Wilson, has not received
the credit III some quarters which Is
richly due. Because he is an unas-
| Stunning man who does not push him
self to the front and magnify his
own work, he has failed of proper
| appreciation from some who seem
to judge more from outward preten-
sion than real merit. Gen. Wilson
is lawyer Of great ability and
learning, and his management of
the Office of Atty. Gen. has never
been excelled. His opinions on all
law questions are being received
with the highest respect. The eX-
penses of the Office for the fcur
years previous to his election aver
aged over $4,000 q year during
his administration they have only
been at the rate Of $4,000 a year.
These figures tell their own story.

of nationality on our shores, but to
encourage tb. complete and thor
ough Americahization OF our popula-
lation. Though proud OF the Ian d
Of his birth, BIZ finds that every per-
son Of foragn tongue among US
was prompted to make America his
home, becauseit offered to him those
conditions of freedom and oppoftun-
tiles for prosperity beyon his reach
across the wattrs which should make
a genuine American. The address,
we believe, leflects the best senti-
ment of all breign population in
this country, and will be as heartily
applauded by them as by native
Americans. It's cordial reception
by the German people of La Crosse
and the county round about demon
strates their sympathy with utter
ances. We make brief extracts, as
follows:
The celebration of the university
of our national birthday by the
Deutsches Veiein is conclusive proof
that you are all good citizens and
worthy supporters of the republic,
in whose hanls the defamation Of
independence and liberty is safe and
honored. 1t IS ample proof that you,
who were cralled in foreign cline,
are assuming your rights as full
citizens of this country, and are de-
termined that republican ideas will
be heneeforth fostered in your midst.
The anniversary we celebrate to-day
is dedicated to the living and the
dead, the past and the present. 1t
is the greatest holiday of our coun.
try. 1t is with pride we recall the
honored dead, who more than GEN.
fury ago, promulgated the declara-
ton of independence, and thereby
laid the CORNERSTONE of our countrys
existence. 1t is with thanks we re-
call the hohored men and women
who at that time sacrificed life and
property to shake off the yoke Of
English tyranny; who maintained
their courage and hope through the
darkest hours Of trial, and were will
ing to lay DOWN their lives as mar
tyrs to the cause of freedom, and
who notwithstanding privations, not
outstanding suffering and destitut-
ion, never lost their courage, but
remained steadfast in the faith that
power is not above right, but that
right must triumph in the end. :
Thus dawned upon the oppressed
Of other nations, the sublime light
of liberty, guiding them to the new
land of freedom, to the new home
where there are no kings, no SER
wants, no masters, no slaves, The
shackles of moral and physical op-
preston gave way as mists OF morn
ing in the RAYS of freedoms light.
We applaud to-day the deeds OF
the heroes Of the revolution, the
names of Washington, Steuben, La
fayette and all, no matter of what
nationality, all who participated N
the struggle for the suppression of
tyranny. Let us to-day renew our
pledges to c ing to their high achieve
ments. Anew we decorate the monu-
ments in our hearts with laurels Of
glory and inscribe thereon the words

TT is a solemn thought to think as

IT is a solemn thought to think as
you write-as you look out on the
star-lit landscape-out on Gods acre
with its dropping willows and white
monuments, that in a little time you
will be lying out yonder in the
strange, wierd loneliness OF death.
All it is then that the mind hears
floating down from the mystic, the
troubled roll of waters that rush on
and on forever and it is then that
the dark mystery called death, with
all its awful, benumbing majesty,
confronts the trembling soul. But
look above and around you. There
is serenity in the atmosphere. The
stars are love-lit. And the white
clouds that float dreamily, restfully
athwart the heavens seem moving as
pure Spirits away out into the Be-
yond. There is in the surrounding
a balm for the soul. There is in the
hush that lies upon the landscape
in the smile of the stars-in the
placid clouds, suggestion that Gun
derneath are the everlasting arms"
that He liveth who shall guide me
"into the silent land" "Yea, though
| walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, | will fear no evil !;
for thou art with me thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me"
