Bishop Kain's Trip.

A very interesting letter was received
Yesterday, by John Quigg, ESD, from
Rev. Father Conner, oi Clarksburg, who
is travelling with Bishop KAN. The
letter is dated at Marseilles March 8,
and gives an account oi their entire Trip
80 lar They were fourteen days on the
ocean and had very rough voyage, the
captain oi the vessel stated to them that
it was the toughest voyage he had ever
had. Father Conner spoke very highly
of the kindness and attention bestowed
upon them by the officers OF the steam.
or. The Bishop was the only one oi
the party who was ia the least way sea
sick aud lac not enough TO confinc hlln
To his bcrts. Alter landing ut Antwerp,
they spent several days IN that city
viewing the sights. Leaving there Tor
Paris, they spent three days in that de-
lightiul city, but will return there be-
fore coming home. Father Conner
could hardly find words To express his
praise OF the magnificent streets, build-
ings, parks and the electric light. the
entire city being Illuminated with tins
light and making all the streets AZ light
as day at night. From Paris the party
proceeded 10 Bourdeax, an elegant city,
but seeming small after Paris; they
stopped here two days, and then went
to Lourics. where they remained four
days. This is the place the Blessed
Virgin appeared To a peasant girl, and
is also the place Of many miracu lous
cures; it also contains one Of the richest
chapcls in the world. From the last
named place they proceeded TO Tout
ousc, stoppingilhere one day, and then
TO Marscillcs where they proposed stay
ing some time. The party were all well
without exception, aud expected t.
reach Rome on the I'D, where they
would remain for about four weeks.

There has been much talk OF iate
about a certain unknown who was walt
ing anxiously for the arrival OF jimmy
Elliott, the English oarsman, aM In
Collins Pierson, it was said, was the
hacker OF the unknown. Saturday night
Pierson was asked who his man was,
but declined to give il away further than
to say it meant Coulter or Morris. lie
minated that somebody around the
Little Central" saloon could tell all
about il. At the Little Central sa-
loon il was matter OF newsapparently'
They didn't know who 1t was. ihey

Unfortunate Crowd

Last evening about five O'Clock two
men and two women, with four chill
dren, called at the city building and
asked for ticket to entitle them to a
nights lodging at the lookup, Their
iorlorn appearance induced reporter
OF this paper to follow them up and
make some inquiries concerning them.
The men gave their names as Jacob
Moenkoul and Albert Zeioke. Both
have two children and their wives with
them, and hail from Texas. They left
the eastern part of Pennsylvania about
six months ago to seek their fortunes in
Texas, but were unable to get along.
Friends living near Scranton sent them
money enough To get AS lar as Cincin-
natl, where their money run out and
they would have been unable to get
any further had it not been for Captain
FL. Muhleman, who offered them free
trip to this port, where they found a
letter awaiting them saying that money
would be sent them. About this time
Chris. Leidl, the local OF the VOltsblaA,
appeared and it can never be said now
that local has none OF that fellow
feeling that makes US wondrous
kind" Chris, after shedding copious
tears over the misiortunes OF this double
quartette, started out and in few
hours appeared with bucket OF proyi-
sions and pitcher of hot coffee, his ne
turn being hailed with delight by the
hungry people Gen. Wallace placed a
private apartment OF the bastile at their
disposal, and when We left they were in
hopes Of receiving their money to-day
and OF being able to leave.

A NUMBER of Wisconsin's statesmen
now assembled at Madison in the ca.
pacity of lawmakers are striving for
popular approval by laboring for the
restoration of the State bounty on the
scalps of wild animals and for the re-
peal of the dog license law. We be-
lieve that the State bounty on wolf
scalps was very much in the nature OF
what are popularly termed "steals,
by reason of which we hope that it
will not be restored. The law requlr-
ing the owners of dogs to pay alicense
thereon evidently is not sustained by
such dog owners and it has not been
very rigidly adhered to by assessors.
The enforcement of such law, how
ever, would without doubt be produc-
tive of good results in Kidding the State
of large number of worthless ours
that are disgrace to their kind, but
the pressure for its repeal will doubt.
less be so strong that the Legislature
will give us "free dogs" hereafter.

THE affectionate enthusiasm with
which the Maine Republicans greeted
Senator Blaine on Saturday. wien he
made his first public appearance in a
considerable time, was type Of the
admiration with which his recent
course must be regarded by the whole
country. 1t is fact worthy of pub
lie attention that in this whole Maine
business Mr.. Blaine has exhibited the
very qualities which his enemies have
IaIways declared he did not possess.
The country has been repeatedly as
sured that he was brilliant debater,
but a poor counsellor; that he was a
good man to stir up the masses on the
stump. but lacked the moderation
land dullnessf necessary to 2 states
man; that he was too radical, that he
was reckless, that he lacked conserya-
tism and caution. 1t will do no harm
to firest attention TO the fact that
moderation. caution, conservatism,
have been the most conspicuous fea-
lures of the whole Republican cam
paign in Maine. as carried through I'm.
der Mr.. Blaine's leadership. lie has
kept cool IN a place where almost any
other man would have lost lis wits.
He has not taken one false sep. and
his campaign for popular rights has
moved steadily forward with tile pre-
cision OF machinery, impressing the
country at every advance with the
Justice Of the Republican cause, and
forcing his opponents steadily hack
ward RI is not an exaggeration to
say that his leadership has combined
the highest political skill with the
soundest judgment in craftsmanship.
This has been done too when public
feeling was at p white heat. A very
little spark would have kindled war in
Maine, and the fast that there has
been no war is probably due more to
Mr.. Blaine than to any other man.

SPEAKER RANDALL'S ADVICE.

1t is reported that Speaker Randall
has telegraphed to the Fusionists in
Maine that it is "of national import
anee that they keep up their Legisla'
ture and State organization, and that
they should do so at all hazards.
This foreshadows the troubles and
disputes that will arise in the country
at the next Presidential election. II
has been known all along that the
Maine Democrats have been only fol
lowing plan laid down by the Demo
Gratis in New York, and supposedly by
Tilden, and it is necessary that the
plan be carried out. Speaker Randall
denies having sent such adispatch but
acknowledged that the Fusionists had
called upon him for advice.

The sublime degree of assurance
with which members of the Legislature
Introduce bills appropriating public
moneys FOR purposes for which there
is no adequate reason, is surprising.
Among the projects of the present ses-
sion to draw funds from the treasury
under this head IS one to pension at
the rate of So, 500 a year Supreme
Court Judges who shall resign after
having attained the age of seventy
years. Taxpayers who are barely
able to pay their taxes and ''rnake
both ends meet will hardly endorse a
proposition to so literally provide at
public expense for the improvidence
of able men who for years shall have
drawn an annual salary of $4,000.

In the legislature it has heretofore
been the practice to refer bills of To-
cal interest to Milwaukee county to
the milwaukee delegation instead
of to the standing committees of the
respective houses, hut the Milwaukee
House of Correction disclosures have
illustrated the fallacy of such course
aud the Milwaukee Sentinel has come
to the very sensible conclusion that
there is the same reason that every
assembly district should be allowed to
control legislation through its mem
bers, and without the consideration of
the committees, as we'll as this coun-
ty,'' closing its article by saying, 1--WE
have yet to find good reason why the
standing committees should not con-
slider Milwaukee matters as they do
all Others"
