The people of the South not only
make no effort to conceal the bitter
hatred which they bear toward the
North, but on the contrary they allow
no opportunity to pass unimproved to
give vent to that rebellious spirit
which now permeates that section of
the country as it did in 1851. The
managers of the Grant ovation held in
Chicago last week invited congratula-
tory letters and kilograms from prom
inent officials and citizens i'm different
portions of the country and as ''prom-
inent citizen" the ex-Confederate
Toombs felt called upon to respond,
which he did in the following charac-
teristic language: "Your telegram re-
ceived. | decline to answer except to
say, present my personal congratula-
tions to Gen. Grant on his safe arrival
to his country. He fought for his
country honorably and won. | fought
for mine and lost. am ready to try
it over again. Death to the Union
R. Toombs." Toombs fairly repre-
sents the average sentiment of ex-reb-
els in the language above quoted, a
sentiment which does not recognize
the surrender with the confederate
armies surrender of the principles
upon which the so-called Southern
| Confederacy was founded.

The New York World says that New
York is not a provincial but a metro
politan State whose feet cannot be
swept from under, either by the cry
of solid South or by the waving of
the bloody shirt or by western med
icine clamor for new way to pay old
debts, and adds: ''No man will be
President without the vote of New
York, in 1880, and no man will get
that vote, be he republican or demo
crat, who lacks solid record for hon.
est money and temper which will
make New York feel assured that he
cannot be cajoled or bullied by COM
munists or debt-shirkers. Let Hend-
ricks, Thurman, and other soft money
trimmers who are itching to be Presi.
dent consider the statements of the
World.

RIVER FALLS has sl4 children OF
school age of whom 275 have not at
tended public schools.
FIFTy-NINE districts purchase books
directly from the publishers; 40 sell

$3l 1887.
THERE are 8,5l7 children of school
age in Pierce county, of which mum.
Der 2.0SI have not been in school dur.
ing the past year. In short, ont OF
Ii have not attended.
APPROXIMATELY, since 1876, CSC
persons have taught nine hundred
terms of school in Pierce county, SO
that upon an average each person has
taught nearly four terms.
ONE hundred and eighty-three diff.
ferent persons were employed as
teachers during the past year, which
means that only one school out of
two changed teachers. A good out
look. And yet there Were not 1873
different persons employed in schools,
because those who left one school, Of
ten went into another.
THE average wages of female teach
ers in the state were 1888. In Pierce
county ss27.S4, or 1886 above the av-
erage. Average wages of male teach

county, $36.6l, or ss1.84 below the av-

The officers of the legislator for
1880 will doubtless be chosen from the
following list: Senate-President pro
tenn, d. NJ. Kelly, Of Brown or VIM.
I. Price, of Jackson; Chief Clerk,
Chas. E. Bross, of Madison; Sergeant
alarms. Cham. Ingersoll, of Beloit.
Assembly Speaker, G. L. Colby, OF
Milwaukee, or ". S. Pierce, of Adams;
Chief Clerk. j. E. EIdred, of Milwau-
kee, or w. If. Fogo, of Richland; Ser
geant-at-Arms, D. II. Pulcifer, of Sha-
wano. Should Colby be elected Speak
er the chances of Togo for Chief Clerk
viii be greatly improved, and Pierce
viii be placed at the head of the Com
mittee on Judiciary. but should Colby
fail OF an election to the office of Speak
en-, Eldred will be made Chief Clerk.
According to the above slate the north
western portion OF the State will be
ignored unless Senator Price should be
chosen President pro TEN of the Sem
ate, and the members from up this
way may conclude to put in claim
for the position to which the gentle
man from Shawano aspires. Hon. n.
2. Haugen is fairly entitled to a place
or the Judiciary Committee and we
hope to see Pierce county compliment
ed by his appointment to place there
on.

The fight for the Democratic Con-
greSsional nomination for 1880 in the
fifth district has already begun, ex.
Congressman Eldredge having made
up his mind to take a hand in the
game, and the struggle promises to be
lively one. 1t is thought that should
Bragg be defeated in Convention he
would run as war democrat and be
endorsed by the Republicans, which
would secure the defeat of Eldredge.

The Greenback vote in Wisconsin
two years ago when the lines of that
party were clearly defined was 1926.
This year the vote cast for the Green
back candidates for State officers has
not probably, exceeded half that of
1877. This retrogression has so dis
gusted Brick Pomeroy, the grand
sachem of the soft money party of
Wisconsin, that he announces that his
daily paper will herea fter be inde-
pendent, for the reason that "When
its columns are filled with what is
called Greenback matter, it is not in
teresting reading for the hundreds of
wives and mothers who are not inter-
ested in politics" From this we in
fer that Brick having ANONYMOUSLY
failed as Greenback leader, now pro-
poses to devote his energies to the
production of a newspaper for the es-
pecial entertainment of the ladies,
leaving the Greenbackers to seek else
where for a leader.
