The Papaw.

1t should be noticed in our agricul-
tnral columns, the many uses to which
the papaw can be put. This tree
grows luxurantly in the Indian
River country, there being a wild
variety which comes up on newly
cleared land, and the large edible
variety with fruit as large as mel
on. Here is an opportunity for a
Holloway, Tut, Aver, or some enter
prising person to lay hold and work
it up to advantage. There is money
In it.

OF good prospects for the present

Don't Foul Your Own Nest.

Any stranger taking up some OF
our State papers and reading the
editorial articles, would think that
our population were the greatest
rogues and vagabonds immaginable
Charges and countercharges of fraud,
and every sort Of dishonest action,
are blagoned forth according to the
light in which they are viewed by the
opposing parties. The fact is this,
that the mass of the population are
the most peaceable, well.behaved
people in the United States, but a
few politicians to further their own
ends, vilify Others to cover their own
dishonest actions and lead people i'll
and out of the State to believe that
they, themselves, are immaculate.
There are bad men in every COM
munity, town or city, but one swal-
low does not make a summer, and we
are no worse here, if not considerably
better, than in most places. News
papers in other States confine them.
selves to mentioning the facts OF the
case, and not to use them for improper
purposes and do injury to their own
homes. If any one commits crime,
whether Democrat or Republican, let
him be punished by the laws which
were made on purpose, but for Gods
sake do not let us use such crimes for
political purposes and deter others
from making homes among us, for the
good of us all. We have been in the
State nine years, and have gone all
over it, unarmed, and expressed our
opinion in unmeasured terms, and
have known number of others to do
so as well, and have never met with
the least rudeness of any kind, or
seen any one molested on that
account, but there are some men
SO outrageous in their demeanor
that they provoke retaliation in any
case, irrespective Of politics. Such
men are met in other countries and
not confined to any given spot.
Strangers who read such articles
should place no reliance in them, but
get their information from more reli.
able sources.
The common practice of abusing
our public men, in newspapers, is
much to be deplored, as it prevents
good men, of sensitive feelings, from
filling positions for which they are
we'll qualified, and who would be an
ornament to the country. II sound,
solid argument cannot be adduced to
convince people, abusing them will
not be likely to do so. 1t is true
that the public acts Of public men
are open for criticism, but such criti-
cism should be conducted in a fair
spirit of impartiality, and be well es-
tablished in the first instance, never
descending to Billlrgsgate. If a per
son is well known to be an immoral
man, he should never be elected to
fill office, but we have no right to
enter his private domicile and ex-
pose things with which the public
have no concern. There is skele.
ton in every ones closet, so that
those who have glass windows should
not throw stones.

EUROPE is in a state of ferment and
though no great deeds are in the pros
pectus for the immediate future. still
complications which are forming at pres
ent may bring about great results.
France is the only important country
which is not on the eve of agitation. A
feeling of jealousy is springing up be-
tween Germany and Russia. England
is by no means friendly toward Russia
and the interests Of the powers in Asia
preclude the restoration of friendly re-
lations. Austria's interest in the former
Turkish empire makes her party to the
entanglements likely to arise. The
prospects of continued peace IN Europe
are by no means encouraging.

WE have no loye for Soaring, the
democratic nominee for state superin-
tendent, but he is SO infinitely superior
to his competitor, Whitford, that we are
forced to give him a cordial support
knowing that the interests of the state
would be greatly benefited by change
from Whitford to Soaring. Whitford
knows nothing about the common schools
of the state nor does he care to know.
Soaring does not know much about
them, but he tries to learn. Soaring has
some independence, Whitford none.
Both are extremely anxious to put Mil
ton college in the foreground in educa-
tional circles, but Soaring chooses men
of some ability.

IT does one good when tired OF the
ceasaless prattle of partisan Journals TO
read some of the frank paragraphs of the
Waupaca Rcpublicaa. Bright is not
one of those men who insist that all the
intelligence of the land is confined to
one party. In commenting upon the
Madison Journals opinion of Jenkins
and Price, one democrat and the other
republican in which the Journal speaks
iisparagingly of the former and in COM
plimentarY terms of the latter. the Re
publican says: jenkins has more
ability than could be concentrated in
row of Prices that would reach from
Black River Falls to Milwaukee" When
a republican paper thus openly speaks its
commentator of nominee of its own
party has three times the effect it would
have if that paper bestowed indiscrinil
ate praise.

SUPERINTENDENT Whitford feels ag
grieyed at some comments made in The
Puor upon his manner of choosing in

matter OF the humorous article of the
Enterprise in relation to his lecture here.
1t IS potent to every man who takes any
interest in the school matters of the state
TINT Milton college graduates have long
been the pets of the state superintend-
ent, and that they have been pushed into
a prominence which they would hardly
reach if left TO their own unaided abili-
ties. This fact is so well known that
when any obscure person secures an
honorable position through the efforts of
the state superintendent, he is at once
set down as q graduate of Milton.

THE New York Herald while speaking
III terms Of high commendation of Gen
eral Grant, reprobates any expressions
on his part Of an attempt to stand for a
third term. It says the greetings which
he has received have no political gIgnif-
canoe and are simply expressions OF graf
itude for the service he has done the
country. His greatest glory in the fu-
tire would come from holding aloof
from al political struggles, and all man
ifestations of partisanship. The advice
is certainly very good and it will pay
Grant to heed it.

IT is estimated that jenkins will run
5000 ahead of his ticket in Milwaukee
county. He will also receive o large
vote in Dane county. Col. Villas pro-
poses taking the stump in behalf of
Jenkins, whose warm personal friend he
Is. Jenkins will deliver about twelve
speeches himself. Soaring will deliver
speeches IN some of the republican coun-
ties. Those are three able men and have
the confidence Of the people. There can
be no doubt entertained even by republi-
cans,of the superiority of the democratic
nominees.
