BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

We would direct the attention of
voters of all political parties to the
proposition submitted to the people
for an amendment to the constitution
providing for biennial sessions of the
legislature, to be voted upon at the
ensuing November election. Our
position upon this question is well
known as being in favor of the ratifi-
cation of this proposition. We hold
that biennial sessions will not only be
attended with less expense to the
people, but that they will give greater
stability to our laws by reducing the
opportunities for changing them.
This proposed change, if made, will
be an important step and we counsel
a careful consideration of this ques-
ton and a full vote thereon. " o
shall take occasion to discuss this
proposition more at length before the
time fixed for the people to vote
thereon.

The attention of farmers is respect
fully called to the Warren Sulky
Plow Attachment, manufactured by
Joseph Stephens, of River Falls. This
Attachment is a model of simplicity,
strength and durability, will hold
right or left hand, steel, iron or wood
beam, new or old plows of any size.
team, and can be handled by twelve
year-old boy. 1t is particularly etfi-
cient in covering stubble. corn stalks
and tai weeds. Mr.. Stephens has one
hundred of these attachments now in
process of construction which will be
ready for the fall trade. A careful
examination will convince any one of
the practical utility of the attachment.
No farmer can afford to be without
one.
Mr.. Stephens also manufactures
crossing plOws, of various sizes, UNI
surpassed and rarely equaled by any
other make, which lie sells at very
reasonable prices. His plows are
made of the bsst material throughout,
strongly put together, and will last.
In addition to his OWN manufac-
lures, Mr.. Stephens also keeps on
hand the celebrated Fish Bros. & Co.
wagons, of Racine, and the Kappel
wagons, of Red Wing, Mimi. These
wagons are regarded among the best,
and are fast attaining reputation of
being 1.-THE most popular in use"
Any one who contemplateS purchasing
should be sure and call before buying
elsewhere.
Mr.. Stephens is doing quite an
extensive business in the manufacture
ing line, and as all of his wares are
for durability and effec
tiveness, our people should lend him
encouragement by a liberal patronage,
and thus help an enterprise that will
benefit our village. AS a
straight forward business man he
stands among the foremost, and justly
merits what his interests demand.

FALLS THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER

IT is rumored that the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway
| Company has purchased the claim of
the Wisconsin Farm Mortgage Land
Company to portion of the st. Croix
Land Grant, for which the sum of
100000 has been or is to be paid
The rumor above given is supplement-
ed by another to the effect that said
Railway Company has sold to New
York syndicate of capitalists all claim
to said grant of lands that it has in
any way acquired, or may hereafter
acquire, for the sum of 81, $50, 900.
This amount added to what it has
already received for lands heretofore
sold to settlers will doubtless leave it
handsome margin after paying for
the construction of the North Wis
consin railroad by virtue of which
construction it came into possession
Of a greater portion of the land grant.
1t is suggeste ed that transfer of these
lands to New York syndicate may be
principally Il matter of form for the
purpose of passing the title from the
Railway Company us such, in order to
eYade the provisions of the law which,
on condition that they be exempted
from taxation for a term of years,
requires the Company to sell certain
portions of such lands for the sum of
$3.50 per acre. OF course the trans
fer of these lands subjects them to
taxation, but they can doubtless be
sold for an advance above the sum
named to Justify the payment of taxes
thereon,

FARMERS, ALLIANCE CONVENTION.

A delegate convention of represen-
tatives of the Farmers Alliance will
be held at Portage, on Wednesday
next, for consideration of the proper
course for that organization to pursue
in the pending political campaign.
This factor in the political circles of
Wisconsin is as yet comparatively
insignificant, but should certain con-
tingencies arise it would soon acquire
a great degree of prominence. While
we are inclined to favor the aims of
the Alliance on general principles, the
fact that one of its leaders in this
State is apparently industriously striy-
ing to use it as a means OF elevating
himself into State Office brings it
into discredit in many quarters.

A NUMBER of newspapers in this
portion of the State, and among them
the Journal, have intimated that the
implied preference of the Hudson Star
and Times for Hon. Hiram Smith, of
Sheboygan county, for the guberna-
torial nomination, did not represent
the Republican sentiment of the st.
Croix Valley. The Star and Times
attempts to deny that it endorsed the
Sheboygan county aspirant to the ex-
clusion of all others, but the force of
it's denial is somewhat broken by its
closing sentence, which reads as fol-
lows:
in pushing the claims of the
Seventh district and its worthy rep
resentatives for public preferment,
the Star and Times has never been
found wanting, and should the Repub-
lican party see fit to honor this locali-
ty with the gubernatorial nomination
no one will hail the distinction with
more gladness than the writer.
SHOULD the Republican party see
fit to honor this locality with the
gubernatorial nomination, is good,
and doubtless considered by its author
very clever evasion, but the Star
and Times folks have had experience
enough in the management of politi-
cal affairs to teach any man of ordlna-
ry intelligence that should the dele
gates from this locality to the State
convention favor the nomination for
Governor of a gentleman from the
eastern portion of the State, the Re-
publican party would not ''see fit to
favor this locality with the guberna-
torial nomination, and for this rea-
son we protest against all attempts to
send any delegates to the State con-
vention from the St. Croix Valley who
shall not be favorable to the nomina-
ton of Hon. II. B. Warner for
Governor, as we believe that the
unbiased preference of ninety-nine
one-hundredths of the Republican
party herein 10 for him.
