The South.

THE New Orleans Times has the fol-
lowing, in which there is some poetry
and good deal Of truth:
Take notice that at this present writing
the South is considerable out Of politics OF
the national partisan kind Her main
business just now is to raise the biggest
possible crops of sugar, cotton, corn and the
like, and get the biggest possible price
therefor. Also to pay her debts. Also to
manufacture her raw material in good
measure, and make at home the things she
needs. In short, the politics of the South
is to get rich as soon as possible, honestly,
to have plenty of the best to eat and drink,
to wear good clothes and get a big bank
account with the least needless delay"

WASHINGTON, April 2l-The table
printed below shows the extent To which
90 of the 1928 star routes were manipulated
bv the contract Office of the postotice de-
partment under Gen. Brady's management.
Il will be noticed that the aggregate for
which these 80 routes were originally let i
S727. 1I9, and that the increased pay allowed
i 81 075 ,055, a sum nearly equal 10 three
times the amount of the original figures
and that the aggregate cost OF service on
the routes described was thus swollen by
Gen. Brady to nearly 100000 These
routes include many of those originally
awarded To favorite contractors, OF subse
auentlv transferred to them by the peculiar
methods adopted for making such transfers.
Every one of these routes has 4 remarkably
interesting history, and most of them have
yielded heavy tribute TO the ring. 10 some
cases the increased compensation was award
ed within a few weeks of the original letting,
As has already been explained ia The Times
dispatches a notable instance Of this kind
being furnished by route No I,i54, run
ming from Fort Worth 10 Yuma. This
route was originally let for $l34, 600, and in
about 30 DAYS thereafter Gen Brady or
dered q reduction in the schedule time from
II days To - days, and increased the COM
Sl65 600, thus raising the aggre
gate pay to 1929, 900 per anuum.

WHO NEXT?

Carl Haw Schmidt drove Hon. Jos.
Villas ont of the county, and boosted of
the deed as if it was a praiseworthy act.
Mr.. Villas was the most enterprising man
the county ever had and the people have
felt bis loss. He has driven Judge Kir-
wan out Of Office and boasts of it. Judge
kirwan was without doubt one of the
best officers the county ever had. Whom
will Carl next try his hand upon? Are
the people willing that Carl should be
endowed with this power? This is the
time to curb him and it can only be eff
fected through the defeat of John p.
Wickert, the man in whose interest Carl
Schmidt made the most disgraceful fight
ever made in the county. He was nom
mated on the issues raised by Carl Haw
Schmidt. He comes before the people
the representative of a policy inaugurated
by the Nord VeSteaa, policy which no
man Of sense should countenance. Are
We going to do Sc? Are we going to tell
Carl Schmidt that he does represent the
Germans of Manitowoc county, that he is
their mouth piece, and that we propose to
stand 10y him whenever he chooses to
abuse an officer because he has person
oil dislike for him2

LECTURE BY BJORNSON.

The Scandinavians of this city have
arranged for lecture at Turner Hall on
the 9th of April by Biorn Bjornson, the
renowned poet. They are deserving of
great praise for their success in procuring
SO well-known and cultured man as MIR.
Bjornson, and they viii undoubtedly see
to 1t that he is greeted by an audience
worthy of the man who is to entertain
them. We understand he is to deliver
his lecture in his native language, but
this fact will not deter many of our
citizens of other nationalities from at
tending.

OUR HOSPITAL.
MANrroMoc. March %. 1881.

| MANITowoc, March 90, 1881.
The establishment of the st. Mary's
Hospital is an accomplished fact, and it
will be open for the reception of patients
on the first of April next. The action of
the County Board in approving of the
project together with the interest and
good viii shown by the City Council in
the matter, and the hearty cooperation
| of our citizens in the liberal contributions
| they have made toward its foundation,
all prove how much an institution was
needed and desired by all classes of our
citizens.
Heretofore the friendless sick and
wounded of the city and county have
been without home where they could
be comfortably cared for, but now in the
Hospital they will not only find home
with all the name implies, but also low
ing, careful attendance, given by those,
whose lives are consecrated - works of
kindness and mercy. The Hospital will
be under the care of the Sisters of st.
Francis from Silver Lake under whose
skiilful and gentle administration it will
prove blessing to the city and county
of Manitowoc.
In this connection it is but Just to say
that great praise is due to Hon. John
Schuette, Mayor of the City of Mantle
voc, who spent his time so freely in
soliciting subscriptions, and who gave so
literally himself.
Thanks are also due in an especial
manner to A. D. Jones Esq, who kindly
solicited subscriptions on the north side,
and also to the Editor of the ''Pilot" Mr..
j. Nagle whose pen was always ready to
help the matter along. To all who kindly
contributed for the establishment of the
Hospital we return our thanks. Although
the Hospital has got start, still many
things are yet needed to make it complete
and any useful donation for the same
will be thankfully received and proper
acknowledgement be given by those in
charge. Let all those who kindly gave
and who may yet give to this good work,
remember, that they will receive not only
the gratitude of those whom they thus
help, but also the blessing OF Him who
declared charity the greatest of all viz
tues. And now there remain Faith, Hope
and CHARITY, these three; but the great
est of these is Charity. II Cor. XIII, g.

BIZ reference to advertisement else
where, it will be seen that Mr.. Barnes
has so stationed his horses as to suit the
convenience of the people of the county.
He has the price reduced to IS. No
farmer should breed from poor stock
when first class stock may be secured at
the same cost. The proof of the excel
lence of stallion is found in the excel
lence of his issue. Bay Membrino is the
sire of a number of fine horses in this
county, which, when in the market, sell
at high figure. Sheriff Pierce sold his
team for 2400 after having used them at
hard work for number of years.

THE SEASONS PROSPECTS.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel takes the fol-
lowing view: The prospect for good
seasons business on the lakes was never
better. The late opening Of the straits
will necessitate short season, and rates
during the months which the vessels
operate will consequently be compare
lively higher. In cases where contracts
have, however, been made good figures
were obtained by the vessel men. Navi.
CATION from one port to another on some
of the lakes is as yet unpracticabIe and
the inclement weather has retarded the
work nece ssary to put the vessels in shape
SO that everything tends to making q
short season and keeping rates at their
highest point. 1t is already noticeable
that ut ports where efforts have been
made to charter vessels that no satisfac-
tory conclusion was as O general thing
reached. During the last winter the
heavy SHOWS have allowed the lumber
men of this state and upper Michigan to
get to the banks of the rivers and the
lake larger quantity of logs and lumber
than usual, and vessels engaged in that
traffic will have an abundance of freight.
The snow also succeeded in pretty effec-
tually blockading the railroads leading
west from Milwaukee. and there must
be large accumulation of wheat and
other grains at different points which
must shortly reach the lake for tranship-
mept to the east through the elevators
which are now rather light in their stocks.
The comparative statement of the stock
of wheat in store shows that there is a
difference of nearly 100000 bushels
between this year and last. This is
owing probably to the blockade spoken
of and the reluctance which farmers ex-
hibited in marketing their grain last fall.
They will now endeayor to rush it to the
market and this will make plenty of bus
mess for the grain fleet. The severe
winter weather has necessitated the burn
ing of nearly all the coal which was
brought to this section last fall. The
sudden closing of the straits caused q
number of coal-laden vessels to winter
at lower lake ports, add they will come
up and discharge their cargoes. They
will have plenty of work during the en-
tire season in accommodating stocks for
another year, as the coal dealers will
never again be caught with so little fuel
on hand. There is also prospect of
considerable increase in the tonnage of
the lakes but there will be business
enough for it all at rates which will be III
advance of previous seasons.
