An EXPLANATION NEEDED.

When The Democrats tather-ln-law
gets through with his defense of Aid.
Voss for his completely in the printing
steal, it may be well to turn bis attention
to another of that gentlemans raids upon
the city treasury to which we call atten-
ton. The following resolution was intro
duced by him at the meeting of the coun-
Gil and passed
By AID. Voss,
Resolred; That the sum of $500 be transferred
from the city general fund to the following
named wards fol the purpose of improving
thoroughfare streets in said wards leading into
this city, to-wt; S75 to the Third ward, $50 to
the Fifthw ard, S75 to the Sixth ward and $T5 to
Seventh ward.
There is 10 color of law to be found
any where for this proceeding. The only
plea of justification that can be offered Is
that the same thing has been done by
preceding councils. But that does not
legalize the wrong. The inequality and
injustice of it are easily seen. The seventh
ward last year collected no poll tax, as
the law requires, and as was done by the
other wards Upon what principle OF
common sense or right, then, is it en-
titled to an appropriation from the city
treasury to aid it in making street I'M
provements Let it first comply with
the law and utilize the labor it is entitled
to as a poll tax, before becoming sup
plicant for assistance. The whole prac'
tice of appropriating money in this way
to three or four wards, to the exclusion Of
others, is wrong, but in the 9Th ward
under the circumstances stated, the I'M
propriety is so great that we cannot mag
inc what excuse can be offered in its be
half. However The Democrats father
in-law may be able to invent one. We
shall see.

WE admire modesty wherever we find

WE admire modesty wherever we find
it-whether in person or newspaper.
Just now we are led to mention this beau
tiful characteristic in The Watertown
Democrat, which spoke of itself last week
as "a responsible paper, with a large cir
culation, to be preferred to the blatant, IL
responsible organ of the republican spoils
combination Such refreshing GOODNESS
and modesty are seldom met with in
newspapers, and then only in those lucky
enough to have father-in-law Unfor-
tunately, The REPUBLICAN is not thus
blessed.

THAT PRINTING STEAL.

The Democrat comes to the front as the
champion and defender of Aid. Voss for
his action in the printing steal, but fails
to account for that gentleman's lnconsls-
tency. 1t will be remembered that year
ago Aid. Voss was in favor of letting the
printing to the lowest bidder, and anita
gonized Aid. Baxter, who stood by The
Democrat and wanted it to be paid the old
price. Defeated in this, Aid. Voss then
moved to make the compensation 80 cents
per folio, which was also voted down.
This year he offered a resolution to allow
35 cents folio. Are we to understand
that he considers the work worth more
this year than it was last? Or did he
have spite against The Democrat, or
The Democrats father-in-law, that has
been appeased now? Has the patting on
the back which The Democrat has been
giving him so Modified his resentments
and dislikes for that concern, and its
father-in-law, as to make him turn a sum-
merset, and appear before the tax payers
Of our city as one having no regard for
the public interests--as bitter partisan
who is willing to bolster up his party or
gan with money filched from the city
treasury? That is what his action re-
solves itself into Tax payers see it,

THE WASHINGTON correspondent of
The Madison Journal writes to that pa
per an interesting gossipy description of
the rather novel party given by Mr. and
Mrs. Congressman Pound, Of Wisconsin,
at their Washington residence the other
evening, whereat the Crow Chiefs were
introduced to the upper tendum of the
national capital. Wisconsin was well
represented, most of the congressional
delegation being present, and among
them, says the correspondent, "Hon. L.
3. Caswell, whose face as he gravely
shook hands with the Grows, was only
equaled in solemnity by that of Pretty
Eagle himself. Mr.. Caswell explained
afterwards by saying that he was think
ing at the time of his boyhood days when
the Wisconsin Indians used to steal his
fathers chickens and sheep, or words tc

For once we are able to agree, upon a
political proposition, with The Watertown
Democrat. That paper is in favor of Til
den as the democratic candidate for the
presidency. So are we. Nothing will
please us better than to see Sammy j. the
standard bearer of the opposition.

The american Reprint of the En-
cycLODedi0 britannica.

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
It's great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per
feet in all its parts, every word, cut illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced
Letters like the following show what the lead
ing men OF the age think of this great work

THE Iowa STYLE is one every way
worthy of emulation The republicans
of that state were overwhelmingly for
Blaine, but in conducting their state con-
yention they took pains to offend no one,
and should Gen. Grant, and not Blaine be
nominated for the presidency, he would
nowhere receive more vigorous support
than by the stalwarts Of Iowa. We
should be glad to see all republican pa
pers pursue the same kind of policy in
stead of throwing mud at candidates,
whose nomination they are opposed to.
It is a short-sighted and mistaken course
for them to make irritating and damag-
ing statements which later in the canvas
they will be called upon to explain
away, unless they bolt the action of the
Chicago convention Better treat all
candidates fairly and leave the throwing
of filth to democrats

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS

The New York democratic convention
held in Syracuse last week for the cleo
ton of delegates to the Cincinnati con-
vention was a double-barreled concern,
and the result is the election Of two sets
of delegates-one pledged and instructed
for Tilden, and the other pledged and in
structed against him. The Tilden con-
vention seems to have been regular, and
the delegates chosen by it will undoubt-
edly be recognized as such at Cincinnati.
There was much bitterness displayed in
the rival conventions towards each other,
and it would appear to be impossible to
harmonic the differences unless Tilden
shall withdraw his name as a candidate,
which his friends say he shall not do con-
fronted by the threats of pack of bolt
ers led by John Kelly. Tilden is to be
admired for his independence and pluck,
to say the least, if this is his position, for
he would be universally despised were he
to turn and run under such circum-
stances. He will probably be all the
more determined to win the prize he is
seeking, but we do not believe he will
succeed. The danger of his losing New
York, if nominated, will determine the
question against him, for without New
York the democrats know they do not
stand the ghost of chance to carry the
election

Poor Hugh Petite.

ToprKA, SEPT: II Hugh :. Rettie
a printer who had been drinking hard
several days. shot and killed himself
this morning. In letter to a young
lady to whom he was engaged to be
married. he said he could not stop
drinking, and therefore being unwor-
thy of her and himself, he was re.
solved to die.
Eight years ago Hugh Petite and
the writer were serving their appren.
|ticeship in the st. Louis Euening
Journal office; at that time Hugh was
bright youth, the foleman's special
pet and a general favorite with every
one in the office. To-day be fills a
suicides grave! The telegraph dis.
patch tells its own sad tale. Refer:
ring to the unfortunate Petite, the St.
Cloud Journal Press truthfully re-
marks: .sWhen this young man be,
gan drinking he would nave resented
as an insult to his manhood the impu-
tation that he couldn't stop drinking
whenever he wanted to- The result
! is given above in his early and dis.
graceful death. The love Of liquor.
when the taste. is once acquired, is
stronger than most mems will.
