Below is a Letter from President
Chaplin, of Beloit College, on the
Political Situation.
Raloit Oct O1th 1881

Beloit, Oct, 24th, 1881.
DEAR SIR:
| have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 18th
inst.
[ exceedingly deprecate the starting
of an independent Temperance ticket
for the pending election in our State,
as measure, in my view, fraught only
with mischief to both the cause of tenn
perance and the political welfare OF
our commonwealth and our nation.
Nearly every vote given for the tenn
perance ticket will be one taken from
the Republican party, and will con-
tribute so far to pass the rule of the
State over to the Democratic party,
which makes the drinking saloons the
center of influence, and which has
been, through all its history, the deter
mined opponent of all measures de-
signed to restrict the sale and use Of
intoxicating liquors, to say nothing Of
its ruinous policy in other matters.
They who have at heart the moral ele-
vation of our people and the sound
administration of our public affairs,
may we'll pause before assuming the
risk of consequences from measure Of
such doubtful expediency.
Very truly yours,
A. L. CHAPLIN.

later Mayor of the city. He was
Justice of the peace and MunicipaI
Judge for many years, and in each
and every Office to which he was called
he in every case performed the duties
faithfully and we'll and not even the
breath of suspicion was ever cast upon
his integrity.
The question before the people of
this state, in regard to amending the
constitution, is not as to whether the
system of biennial sessions shall be
adopted. but whether a be- muddled
and be-fuddled socalled amendment
shall be adopted, which would precip-
itate proba bly, endless complications in
legislation and lawsuits without num-
Der and without end relating to the
validity of laws which might be enact
ed. The proposed amendments are SO
botched in terms and phraseology, that
DO human being can define their mean
ing, and they are submitted to a vote
of the people in a manner absolutely
and grossly violating the plain lam
guage of the constitution on that sub
iect. In view Of these facts, ma jor-
ity vote for the amendments will haz-
ard important public and private inter-
ests depending on legislation, and will
involve illimitable expense in litiga-
otion The best way for all the peo
pie of the state is to vote these amend
ments down, and then to commence
over again, with the submission of
amendments which shall be clearly
proposed, in Ineligible form, and pro-
viding for such elections and terms of
office as will be consistent with the
new order of things 1t will take a
couple Of years longer to reach the de-
sired result, but in this instance, con-
spicously, ''the longest way around is
the surest way home" = Sunday

Judge Ringle of Wausau, died very
suddenly last Thursday morning at
O'clock while seated in chair in his
office. The immediate cause of his
death must have been heart trouble.
Mr.. r. was the democratic candidate
for assemblyman and was also Probate
Judge of Marathon county. We take
the following from the Pilot which
says: He was born Oct 16, 1914,
at Ingweiler. Rheinish Bavaria His
father having died before this date, he
was from his earliest infancy thrown
upon his own resources. He received
a good education, and in early life
struck out for himself In 1885 he
married Magdalena Pick, who survives
him. In 1916 he came to this coun-
try and located at Germantown, in
Washington county, where for two
years he was engaged in school teach
ing. He then bought tract of land
in Dodge county, which he cleared
and made by his own hard labor, into
a most splendid farm. In 1859 he
came to Marathon county and in 1861
was elected County Judge. which
office he held continuously to the day
of his death. He was elected County
clerk in 1865 and held that Office two
terms. He represented this county in
the State Legislature in 1864, 10, '76
and IT and was a candidate for re-
election this fall He had been Presi-
dent of the village of Wausau, and

THE SUN FOR 1881.

TNNERYBODY reads the SUN. In the editions Of
ID this newspaper throughout the year to come
everybody will find:
l. All the worlds news so presented that the read
will get the greatest amount of information with
the least improbable expenditure of time and eve
sight The Sun long ago discovered the golden
mean between redundant fullness and unsatisactO.
ry brevity.
II. Much of that sort of news which depends less
upon its recognized Importance than upon its in
terest to mankind. From morning to morning the
sun prints a continued story of real men and wom
en-, and of their deeds, plans, loves hates, and
troubles This story is more varied and more inter
esting than any romance that was ever devised.
III. Good writing in every column, and freshness
originality, accuracy, and decorum in the treatment
of every subject.
". Honest comment The SUNS habit is to speak
out fearleSSly about men and things.
v Equal candOr in dealing with each political
party, and equal readiness to commend what is
trustworthy or to rebuke what is bamable in Dem
VI. Absolute independence of partisan organim-
tions but unwaVering loyalty to true Democratic
principles. The SUN believes that the Government
which the Constitution gives is good one to keep
Its notion of duty is to resist to its utmost power the
efforts of men in the Republican party to set up
other form of government i'll the place of that which
exists The year 1881 and the years Immediately
following will probably decide this supremacy i'm

will be with the people against the Rings for

A Grand Timber Section.

Among the undevelopcd resources of
the Pacific slope may be mentioned the
timber lands Of Washington Territory.
These lands, 2O,O00,000 acres, border on
Puget Sound, and are traversed by fine
logging streams. The timber, principally
pine and fir, is equal to any which grows
elsewhere, the soil from which it springs
being of great depth and richness, and
kept moist by rainfall which continues
during ten months Of the year. One stick
is represented to have been hewn which
was 124 feet long, squaring II inches at
the small end, and without sap. The av
crage height of the trees is 200 feet, while
many stand 800 feet tall, measuring II
feet through at the butt 1t is to be hoped
that better care will be taken Of this mag
nifcent belt of forest than has been taken
oftbe timber lands of Maine and Michigan.
This territory has also II 100000 acres of
Grazing prairie, where nutritious bunch
grass keeps green five-sixths of the year,
and 5000 900 acres of wheat lands, which
Weld from 30 to 80 bushels per acre. The
catch of salmon last year was 4O,OOO,OOO
pounds. Who would care TO go to the
frost-nipped, wind-swept lands Of Manitoba
when he can settle in Washington Terri
tory. where it rains as much as it does in
Ireland, while the influence Of high lati-
tude and frost is quelled by the balmy
touches of the Kuro Siwo current-the
Gulf Stream of the Pacific?

The receipts of lumber at Chicago have
been extremely heavy, though sales have been
dull. In the four weeks ending October 2lst
the receipts aggregated 2S1 1927 900 feet. The
CAPACITY of the docks is severely tested. On
The LIST of October the yards contained some
100. O0O, 600 feet more than at the same date

At the rate of over 60,000,00O feet week

are high, but the supply not great, especially

1t is a well-ascertained fact that man
weighing 154 pounds has Of solid parts
only AZ to so pounds, all the rest, 1O4 to
III pounds being water; or to put it in
other words, we may say the human body
is 30 per cent solids and 70 per cent fluids.
II is we'll known that man of the aver
age weight, say 154 pounds, gets rid Of
five pounds of water in "a hours, in one
way or another. This weight is about
equal to two quarts of water. But man
will not drink two quarts in day, includ
ing milk, tea and coffee. How, then, is
this waste of fluid supplied? By the food
we eat, for it is fact that our food, even
the driest, such as bread and meat and
sugar, contains considerable quantity of
water, and that wonderful chemical Iabo-
ratory, the stomach, is able to separate the
water fro4a its compounds, and thus sup
ply the needs Of the body.
