The closing hours of the session
were enlivened by a struggle over a
resolution to appoint committee
to investigate the management of
the Wisconsin Hospital for the In
sane. After exhausting all the par
liamentary tricks to defeat the meas
ure, the representatives of the Trust
ees were obliged to succumb and
the resolution passed by a unani-
nous vote. The committee pro-
vided for is to consist Of three SEN
ators, to be named by Governor,
who are TO investigate the manage
ment and condition of the institution
in all respects, and report to the
Legislature of 1881 the result Of
their labors. The strenuous efforts
of some of the managers and certain
local politicians to defeat the meas
ure only strengthened the previous
suspicion that the institution has
not been conducted on the highest
principles of economy, wisdom and
honesty. The coming investigation
if conducted by the right men, will
either confirm the suspicion or set
them at rest, "a consummation de-
voutly to be wished"

THE BISMARCK FAIR.

Shall Lyon County be Represented:
WOcall The particular attention Of our
producers, of all kinds, to the call for a
meeting ut Fowler's hall, in this city, on
Saturday next, nth, at ? s'clock
p. III. This is matter that interests all
our people, and the meeting should be
largely attended, by our farmers, stock
raisers, manufacturers, mechanics and
business men. We are informed that
some thirty odd counties OF the state
have determined tO make county dis
play ut that Fair and il is for the people
here To determine whether this county
shall he properly represented by dis
play of her farm, orchard. household
and shop products.
The fair has been located at the Gale
brated Bismarck grove, near Lawrence,
and the Kansas Pacific railroad com
pany has agreed 10 spend $4,000 to fit
up the grounds. Ii has already proyid-
Ell u system of water works and is now
building eSLenGiVe halls and stock sheds.
No expense will be spaFRd 10 make the
exhibition such one as will be a
credit to tbs state of Kansas. 1t is
proper to say thai the railroad company
is in no way interested in tho fair. The
company owns the grounds, and simply
agrees TO put In the necessary improve

have taken hold of the enterprise. We
understand ample provision is made for
the money to pay the premiums in full.
One Of the features of the fair is that
every article froHl county may be ex.
hibited in the county disBlsy, for the

think this should induce aR extra ef

HERE AND THERE

IL is intimated that the contemplated
resignation of General Hancock is being
considered in obedience to 4 Democratic
demand for a reduction of the army
1t is not likely that General Hancock's
record rs an oil specualOr will add ma
terially to the momentum of his boom.
Petroleum. as goi conspicuous for its lu-
bricating properties.
1t is generally conceded that General
Hancock is a trifle less brainy than
Samuel Jones Tildcn, but then he is a
great deal fatler. II is quite difficult to
evade the law of compensation in this
world.
The extreme faulty of the abstinence
mania has eliminated in the case of a
Missouri Democrat, who has undertaken
tbs heFGuleHn contract of subsisting
without whisky till General Hancock
takes his seat in the presidential chair.
The rumor that General Hancock is
about to write book on what | Do
not Know About Civil Affairs" has i'm
parted an impetus to the production of
paper that will keep all the mills in tine
country running on day and night tricks
for six months.
The father OF Charlie Ross, who is still
searching for his lost son, has receiged q
letter of coincidence from the man who
started out the day after the Cincinnati
convention 10 find Democrat who was
an original Hancock man in 1876.
An automatic president wound up and
operated by the party which precipi.
tated upon the country a rebellion that
cost the government $4,000, 900 600, is a
species of Punch and Judyism that the
people cannot afford to patrenize at the
expense of their general business inter
ests.
DIR. Tanner. the Minnesota physician
who has undertaken the idiOtic scheme
of abstaining from food for forty days,
is getting on tolerably well with his
fast, and thinks he may be able to make
the landing if he can be insured immuni-
ty from the interference of the fool
killer.
1t is said that Sara Bernhardt, The
great French actress, is almost as thin as
the Democratic dodge of nominating a
major general of the Union army TO
catch the soldier yQte of the country. 1t
will certainly be worth the high pEice of
admission to her performances to even
see SO attenuated lady.
The work of harmOniZing Hancock's
war record with that of his party. and
locating him and English securely on
the Democratic platform. presents the
same encouraging outlook TO the party
managers that the late votaries of the
gem puzzle were wont to find in the
pleasant combination of II, Is, IS.
If some one will be 50 kind as to set
forth the practical benefits TO society of
DIR. Tanners fast, and the proposed sur
render of the government into the hands
that have persistentiy wrought for its
destruction during the last twenty years,
wisdom will be greatly increased and
thousands of benighted souls flooded
with new radiance.
Senator Barnum, the great mule deal
er of Connecticut, has been elected chair
man of the national Democratic COM
mitteO. This extremely appropriate Sc
lection SHOULD go great ways toward
palliating the gross Inconsistency be-
tFayfd by the Democracy when they
nominated union soldier as their can
didaie for president at cincinasti.

POLITICAL POINTS.


The reconciliation of Tammany and
Irving Hall seems Ia bc case OF the
lion and the lamb, with the lamb in
side
Chambers, the Grcenback candidate
for vice president, owns 5000 acres of
land. But the platform is all right. 1t
is opposed to land monopoly.
New York averages fifty deaths day
from sunstroke. And still the calorific
John Kelly shakes his metaphorical
fist under the nose of tire Irving Hall De
mocracy.
DIR. Tanner makes mistake in rinsing
his mouth with water The Democratic
party have starved twenty years by
careful abstinence from that facilitating
beverage.
The onimous silence Of Ben Butler is
anything but assuring to the Republi-
cans, who are beginning to fear that he
is preparing to flop over again and sup
port Garfield this year
Alabama farmers complain of Il scar
city of labOrcrs. The husbandmen of
the solid south are liable to meet with
this trouble until they conclude 10 beat
their shot-guns into plowshares.
The most thorough canvass of the sub
iect reveals the fact that Hancock secur-
ell the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent upon the same principle that Sir
Joseph Porter became ruler of the
queens navee."
The Kansas City Times says that Gen
eral Hancock's letter of acceptance will
be short, sharp and decisive. If it en-
bodies tine pHiatiye authors knowledge
of civil affairs, there seems scarcely room
to raise any question as tn It's promised
brevity.
The very efficient service which the
Greenback party is likely TO render in
defeating the Democracy will have 4
tendency to strengthen the faith of a
skeptical generation In the consoling
doctrine that everything was created fol
some wise and beneficent purpose.
The size of it is very accurately stated
by General Grant, who says that the per
sonal record of HaHcock is good. whllC
