MarShfeli Items.

A. F. PettingiIl & Co. have sold
their Slave and Single Mill to Web
ster & Lawson of Menasha.
Uwham's saw mill has been running
for some time, doing the best of work.
The several logging crews in and
about NJ. are rushing the logs in at a
lively rate.
The winter term of school will close
on the 9Th of March.
The village people are somewhat ex-
cited; the following adopted by the
Marshfeld Band of Hope, will explain
the cause.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE
MARsHFIELD BAND OF
HOPE.
Whereas, More than eighty of the
citizens of Mansfield having formed
themselves into temperance society
for their mutual Improvement, and
protection against the Liquor Traffic,
and with the permission of the Direct
or after holding eight meetings in the
School House were ins,lltingIy turned
out by an im5eci!e majority of the
School Board, the clerk being too
| drunk to transact a business that he
knows but little about when sober:
Therefore ResolUed That we deem it
a public calamity to elect a drunkard
to any Office; that if majority Of the
School Board willingly prostitute their
Office and their manhood in the inter
est OF the liquor traffic, they are unfit
for officers. even in an aboriginal dis
trict.
ResolUed that the prevailing custom
CT selling liquor on Sundays, selling to
drankards, indians and minors has
made this village notorious for its
drunken rows, (resulting in one muir
der, and discouraged a better class Of
! people from settling here; therefore it
is our duty to enforce the laws regu-
lating the sale Of Intoxicating liquors.
Reso!ved that we will use every eff
fort in our power to Induce others to
unite with us in making this an order
" and law abiding village; to improve
society and to make happy homes by
making sober husbands.
RcsolUed that men addicted to the
use Of intoxicating drinks are utterly
unfit for places of trust of any kind,
and every effort should be put forth by
this society to induce people to aban-
| don its use.

Some of our young friends are dis
posed to treasure bitter feelings toward
us for our criticism of the last play of
their entertainment at Writer'S Hall.
We assure our young people we har-
bored no i'll will toward even the least
of them we criticised as We thought
it duty to do, and really see no rea-
son why we should retract or obliterate
word we have written. Their sober
Judgment must, ere this, have copvinc-
ed them that the 'sProverb" was de-
grading, without point, proftless, and
witless. What does not elevate,
necessarily degrades. A rare, choice,
little play full of fun and without vul-
garity would have put the finishing
stroke upon what otherwise was a very
profitable and pleasing entertainment.

A point to which we very decidedly
object in the movement now in progress,
which begins to bear the unmistakable
impress of blooming for Grant," is
the very cavalier manner in which other
strong men and possible candidates are
dismissed from the lists. And as New
Highlander, and Vermonter, we espe-
cially object to this sort of treatment SO
far as it regards one such man in par
ticular-a man who by reason of his
own abilities is the acknowledged lead
er of his party in the Senate, and whom
Vermont is proud to call her own-the
Hon. George f. Edmunds. We have>no
disposition to go into the business of
President-making, but we should not do
our own convictions justice did we not
here record the fact, which is so patent

who stands before the country with so
many strOngly-marked and acknowledge
ed qualifications for the next Presidency
as does Mr.. Edmunds. -Phenir.

ONE WAY TO ENcouR4 GE CRIME.

several of the Newspapers acquitted him
in advance of Dis conviction,-that is,
that Morgans crime twas no worse than

a cas- similar to that of Haywood OF

after expensive aid impartial trial and

of where the criminal can snap his fingers
at law and point to high authority as
his hacker.
All this isvery discouraging to law

is the use of courts, with all their at

THE ALARM IN RUSSIA.

The attempted assassination of the
Gar has been followed by measures that
reveal the most serious alarm on the
part of the Russian Government The
famous General Gourko has been ap-
pointed Governor of st. Petersburg, and
ono oF h;s 6-ot ~-1--- I:
gunsmith in the capital to send list of
his stock to the city commandant at
once, and to sell arms hereafter only to
persons officially authorized to purchase
them. Owners of arms we're also required
to report the fact Immediately, being al
lowed to retain them only by express
permission. Other orders of a similar
stringent character indicate knowledge,
or at all events a strong suspicion, of
serious danger ahead, against which the
Government feels itself obliged to take
the most stringent precautions.
1t is asserted, in fact, on high author
ty, that triple conspiracy has been
formed in Europe, on the part of the
Nihilists, Communists and Socialists of
Russia, Germany and France, to over
throw the existing governments, and es-
tablish that lawless liberty which ages
of oppression have made the dream of
the oppressed undercrust of European
society. The Russian authorities at
least would seem to be fully convinced
of the reality of the threatened uprising,
and to be determined to meet it at the
outset with vigorous measures.
The grand difficulty in Russia is that
the "paternal' Car does not know
whom to trust. The Nihilist conspiracy
is believed to include men and women
OF all ranks-peasants, priests, mer-
chants, soldiers, mobiles being joined in
the strange, fanatlcal union, and all
working together for the destruction of
the government and the existing order
of society. In this condition of affairs
the government is open to constant sur
prises. The trusted servant of today
may be the conspirator of tomorrow
or may even. be at once trusted servant
and conspirator, awaiting only the fav-
Orable moment to develop the latter
character and strike sudden blow. 1t
is said, indeed, that IN Russia every
third man you meet is government
spy but it would seem likely to become
ere long a serious question how to watch
the spies.
In Germany and France the case,
while serious enough, is not thoroughly
desperate. Socialism has gained a wide
foothold among the lower classes. and
they have some able leaders. But in
neither country is society so utterly rot.
ten as in Russia. The governments
rest on substantial basis of intelligent
public regard. 1t may be that wild
times are near at hand even in these
two States but there can be no question
of the ability of the governments, sus.
tanned by the strong upper classes, tC
cope successfully with any movement
from below.
Not 50 with unhappy Russia. The
result of Socialist rising there no one
can predict. If it comes, it will be ter
rible in its destructive sweep. But
whether the government or the revolu
tiOnists triumph, the cause of human
freedom will gain little from tie strug
gle; for the people of Russia, crushed
and bleeding from the heavy yoke o
ages of misrule, must themselves becom,
better before the government can b,
liberalized.

gave tho Greenbackers lesson in the
rudimeuts of political economy on Thurs
day. Quoting profound discovery by
soft-mouey member, that the country
was going to ruin because two heifers
had been sold in Iowa for $40, he re-
marked "That only shows that what

backs but of less heifers." The trouble
with Greenback agitators is too cOpiOus
an issue of words before the absorption
of any sound information. They know
enough, but the trouble is that most OF
