IT is rather notable and yet a melan-
choly fact that the first man tried under
the Wisconsin anti-treating" law should
be a newspaper editor. He was charged
with the terrible offense almost before
the ink was dry on the act after its sign
ing; and apparently he has won the
case, and the law will hereafter be dead
letter. We sympathize with our cotem-
porary on the expensive result of his
heroism.
BY the suferings of the past the hardly won
blessings of the present and the hopes of future
let every true man range himself a fully de-
VeIoped Bourbon" crushing out independentism
and other treason wherever they appear, and

Certainly; "crush out " is the word.
Don't argue or reason the question. Just
bring out your shot-guns, tissue ballots,
and lead-pencils once mo-. They'll do
the business for the white independents
as effectually as they did for the poor
eolored Republicans. Perhaps, however,
it would be safer to go a little slow, for
white men sometimes shoot back when
being " crushed"
