THE EETIM4TES

The estimates for the several departments
Of the government for the ensuing fiscal
year have been completed, and are ready to
be submitted to Congress as soon as it shall
convene. They show an increase over the
appropriations for the current year-deduct-
ing twenty-five millions for arrears of pen
sions and three millions for the District of
Columbia, both of which were extraordinary
expenses-of $1,942,4s1. The principal
items of increase are for the postoflce, CEN
sus and pensions, expenses that cannot
very we'll be avoided. Yet there are other
items In the appropriations that are altogeth-
er too high, and should be carefully revised
by Congress before the appropriation bills
are passed.
The estimate of nearly thirty-seven mil
lions of dollars for the war department and
military establishment is altogether out of
proportion to the service rendered to the
country. For an army of twenty-five thou.
sand men, and for the clerical labor
connected with its management, this
is large sum, and will no doubt bear trim
ming down. The estimate of fourteen and
half millions for the navy department il
also too large. The appropriation last year
was only fourteen millions, and out Of this
there is a balance remaining of over a
million and half. This, to be sure, is
rare thing--a balance of an appropriation
unexpended-but it shows that the depart
ment can be conducted at less expense
than tho amount asked for. It is useless.
therefore, to appropriate moro than the
amount needed, for an extra allowance ia
always an inducement to extravaganza and
dishonesty. The expenses of the leeisls-
tive and executive departments, and the
salary lists of all the departments can also
be materially reduced without detriment Ia
the public service, while it is not necessary
to e1pend two and quarter millions on new
government buildings. f. ~ p. -. +.
The appropriations of last year were alto
gether too high. Some of them, to be sur;e.
will not BIO required again-for instance that
for arrears Of pensions. But the time has
arrived in which the strictest economy
SHOULD Do exercised. Because the country
is for the moment prosperous is no reason
for extravagance. Those governments serve
their people best that practice the most rigid
economy in public expenditures. There
seems to be no good reason why the grand
total of the appropriations should e1ceed a
hundred and twenty five millions Of dollars
outside Of the interest on the public debt.
Congress viii do the country q service that
will be highly appreciated by the people BY
applying the pruning knife to every item,
and appropriating not q dollar more than is
absolutely necessary for the proper conduct
OF the government. The days of high sala-
RES have gone by, and ss prices in all
branches of trade have fallen, the Same rule
should obtain in the government service as
prevails in private business. ST.. = rs

GRANTS CANDIDACY.

Hts O,c,s Paper.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Although tho Society
of the Army of the Tennessee has concluded
its business and social proceedings, and the
members generally have left the city, Chica-
go continues to honor Grant. To-day, Sat-
urday and Monday he attends receptions.
One tonight was given at the Chicago club,
where Chicago society was fully represented,
and another aristocratic club gives him re-
ception Monday night. Throughout, since
Grants arrival here, his popularity with the
great mass of the people was fully demon
strated. It is true the movement was pro-
fessedly non-partlsan, but it is equally true
that Grant as soldier, an ex-President. and
prospective candidate for reelection was
the central figure. Had the convention to
nominate for 1880 been held here, he
would have been chosen with shout. The
politicians hold back or quietly oppose his
candidacy, but the people are for Grant,
without qualification. Everybody, but Grant
himself, talks about it; but it is singular
fact that no one has approached him on the
subject, and absolutely nothing is known az
to his opinions on the subject. The Hon.
e. B. Washburne and Gen. Sherman are
nearer to Grant and share his confidence
more fully than any other men; but when I
say this subject has not been even men,
toned between then,I speak advisedly. It
may be said that Grant is not candidate to
the extent of saying word or giving sign;
but whether he would accept if nominated,
no one knows. It is safe to say, however,
that Grant would not permit himself to be
made party to a contest for the nomina-
ton, nor would he accept nomination that
would result from contest in the national
convention. The opinion of those nearest to
Grant is that his retioence may be interpreted
as meaning that he considers it time enough

ing at no time concealed me, and there was

the case are simply these: Sunday night, not
wishing to remain in Jail over night, went
across the river and stopped with friend in
Dakota county; Monday morning returned
to the city and put my overcoat in the back
room in the rear of Mr.. Gross store. whore
it has remained since. I employed Mr. G..
u. O'Brien as counsel, and proceeded to
nunt up q bondsman, passing through the
principal streets of the CITY, and during the
day passed and repassed policem N at all
points. About 8 O'Clock Monday night I
went to MIR. Cross store and passed in the
rear room, intending to do some writing,
when two policemen entered the store and
inquired for me. Immediately passed out
the back door and went to friends house
on Dayton's bluff and remained over night,
and returned in the morning to Mr..
O'Brien's Office, having made arrangements
the afternoon previous to 60 with him and
my proposed bondsman to the court at 8

ABOUT two years ago Maple Grove
mans house was destroyed by fire. He
was an innocent man in appearance and
suspicion did not rest upon him until it
was found that everything of value in
the house had been removed to swamp
near OF hand and that the house then
providentially caught fire. The fellow
failed to get his insurance and moved to
place. called New Bremen in Illinois.
Some months ago former neighbor in
Maple Grove wished to purchase land
owned by Baehnke, the man whose
house was destroyed, and carried on me-
gotiations through Mr.. Wickert of this
city. In response to letter by Mr..
Wickert, Baehnke stated that he would
not sell, but subsequently changed his
mind and wrote Mr.. Wickert that his
(Baehnke's) wife was dead. Mr.. Wick
ert informed him that the deed without
his wife's signature would not be accept
en- unless accompanied by Certificate of
some responsible person that she was
indeed dead. Thereupon letter was
received, signed F. Erdman, affirming
the death of the woman, but the sigma
ture and the hand writing of the letter
bore striking resemblance to Baehnke's
'fist' and few days after Mr.. DAIMLER
received letter from an attorney in
Chicago written at the instance of Mrs.
Baehnke, ineuiring about back taxes on
the land. This broke off negotiations
and last Saturday Baehnke himself Put
in an appearance at the county clerk 8
Office. After expressing sympathy with
him for the loss of his wife, Wickert
showed him the letters received and ask
ed Baehnke what he thought of himself.
Baehnke acknowledged his duplicity
but justified himself by saying that if
his wife was not dead she ought to be.
He is crooked decidedly and Manitowoc
county is we'll rid of him.

Dec. Is, 1879.
The people are anxionsly awaiting the

Rank Il Co., who own a saw mill here,
have built flour mill and will soon be
ready to turn out flour. Two cheese
factories have done good business here
last summer. The folks in the vicinity
of Wayside propose to build another,
which project, if carried out, viii make
this town pretty "cheesie."
Diphtheria is making sad havoc in
this and adjoining towns. There are a
number of families who are now stricken
with it. Three children have been bur
led within week in this town. A young
lady named Mary A. Maloney, only
daughter of Mrs. James Moloney, of
Maple Grove, widow. The young lady
was much respected, and the bereaved
mother has the heartfelt sympathy Of
all.
Mrs. Mary Rafferty,, supposed to be
over one hundred years old, died at her
residence in West Holland, last week.
Born in Tyrone Ireland. emigrated to
Mass. in 1S49, moved to Holland, Brown
county 20 years ago. Her children s
grandchildren, were present at her fun
eral, which fact, is very unusual one.
A man, whose name we have not learn
ed, died suddenly at Greenleaf, ON the
Wis. G. r. r. He was standing on a

not expecting it TO move SO suddenly fell
backward. and died. The coroner's in
quest, returned verdict of heart disease.
John Lynch of the adjoining town of
Holland, farmer by occupation, moved
with his family to Nicola Potawatamie
Co.. Iowa, some three weeks since. He
is now back again, "bag and baggage"
which looks as if Wisconsin is preferable
to Iowa. 1t is at least SO in his opinion.
Allow us, Cato friend, to offer thee a
suggestion for your consideration. When
you betake yourself to place of worship
whether in Maple Grove, or in more IA
vored places; it would be well for you to
do otherwise, than to take into account
the charitable act, however small of an
old man. You are sinner like him,
and you may, if you are not now, be
bald-headed. Which did the more
Christian-like deed, the man vino gave
the charity or be who noted the small
ness of the act2
