Circuit Judgeship.

We note with pleasure the strong unanimity of
feeling with which the general public, without
distinction to class political sentiment, regard
the candidacy Of Judge Scion II. Clough for the
judicial bench of the Eleventh Circuit
During the past two years it had been generally
conceded that the choice ola successor to Judge
Barron was with Chippewa county, and from the
high legal attainments of many of the members
Of the Chippewa Bar. the supposition that the
candidate would be one of their own number
not WITHOUT foundation.
But ii seems that at the time Judge Clough held
the adjourned December term in 1875 il May
and June of 1876, IF this county, the ability and
straightforwardness with which he performed
his duties. together with his gentlemanly deport-
ment, made for him fast friends of the Bar
jurors and attendants AZ the term and upon
canvassing the matter, it was ascertained that
very favorable and kindly sentiment existed in
this county towards Judge Coughs candidacy
for that position.
This sentiment and disposition was developed
intoa strong. positive movement during and
after the term Of court held here last month
Judge Clough presiding, by appointment of Gov.
Rush. The Bar of this county, without exception,
were highly gratifcd with the fairness and
judgment with which he disposed of the numer-
Gus intricate problems which came before him,
and were deeply impressed with the peculiar
fitness in education. general culture and decision
of character which marked him prominently
the man for the position.
We think it is generally understood throughout
the entire Circuit that Judge Clough of Superior,
will be the successor of the late Judge FL. D.
Barron. We have heard of no opposition, and we
feel sure that the people of the Eleventh Judicial
Circuit will have reason in his election to con
graduate themselves upon having placed in that
important position a man who obtains and com
mands the respect and esteem ofall, a deep read
and honorable minded lawyer, and a Christian
gentleman.-L Chippewa Herald 18th inst
The sentiments Of Chippewa County
as above expressed respecting Judge
Clough's candidacy, are loudly re-echo-
ed from this part of the state by those
who were familiar with the administra-
ton Of the Eleventh Circuit during
his former term Of office. With great
candor and impartiality Judge Clough
unites judicial mind Of the first
order, while the pursuits of lifetime,
and especially the hard and self-im-
posed discipline Of late years, admi-
rably qualify him for the bench. 1t is
withal no little recommendation that
he goes TO the place from busy and
successful practice at the bar. For in
the law, it is the facility and expert
ence Of applying legal principles to
facts is they occur, often involved
and nearly always new in combina-
tion-it is this facility that makes a
good lawyer and a wise and ready
Judge.

BURGLARY.

An attempt was made to burglarize
the iewelry store Of Mr.. John f. Ell
we'll, on second street, last Tuesday
night between the hours of twelve and
one o'clock. That dav three hard
cases came down from the Junction to
visit our city, and the police kept a
sharp eye on them, as it was expected
that they would be up to some mis-
chef. Mr. Elwell leaves a lamp burn
ing all night SO when the night police
man goes by he can look in and see if
all is well. As policeman WEIGH was
making his rounds at the time named,
he saw the burglar in the building, and
expecting to have to deal with the
three strange men, he quietly went
and called up the Chief, Mr.. Mckin-
non and the two returned to the store,
Mr.. Welch then guarded the front
while the Chef went to the rear of the
building, when he found that the back
door had been burst open, and he
walked through the back room into
the store where he found Mr.. Burglar.
quietly seated in a chair, and took him
into custody. The fellow who gives
the name of James hurry, no doubt
seeing he was cornered, Hoped over into
the chair and tried to play off drunk,
and pretend that he did not know
where he was, but that dodge didn't
work worth a cent, and after spending
the remainder of the night in the cool
er he was brought before His Honor,
Judge A. C. Brown in the morning,
who, after hearing the evidence in the
case, sent the culprit up for sixty
days. The goods in the store had not
been disturbed and the only thing tax
en- was a neck scarf belonging to Mr..
Elwell which he had left lying on
the counter the previous evening. 1t
is not known whether either of the
other men were in the plot or not We
commend our policemen for their
watchfulness and prompt action in the
case.

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS,

1t now begins to look as though We
were to have another railroad, one
which will take the place of the de-
parted Air Line. We do not know
how much truth there is III the follow
ing telegram, dated at Madison on the
18th inst, but one thing is quite sure,
and that is that the Grand Trunk
Company seriously contemplates build
ing such line of road. If that COM
pany does take hold of the matter the
road will be built and no fooling about
it. The dispatch alluded to says
1T has just leaked out here that the Grand
Trunk railway of Canada has new Wisconsin
VIII he Of very great Importance The scheme
has been in process Of perfection for quite long
time and has been conducted with the greatest
secrecy but today your reporter obtained full
and reliable Information concerning the plans of
the company. 1t seems that the Grand Trunk
company. which recently figured rather conspicu-
ouSly in the Chicago, Portage & Superior fight
has had its eye upon the route from Chicago 10
Portage City, Mr.. Schofeld'S original plan being
q seek an entirely new line TO Superior City. An
officer Of their company admitted TO the reporter
tirat the Grand Trunk were anxious to construct
tine proposed line; that i'll fact negotiations had
just been perfected which would enable the com
pauy 10 do SO. The reporter informed that
an officer ofthe company was now In Europe with
a view to securing the necessary funds for the
enterprise"

THE APRIL ELECTION.

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the approaching town elect
ion, especially by the candidates, who
are not only quite numerous, but very
promising" at least one or two of
them are. 1t may be well enough for
candidate to shovel off the snow in
front of mans house, but when he
agrees, in case he is elected, to saw
that mans wood, split it and carry it
in, yes, and put it in the stove, if nee
essary, it begins to look as if he was
just little too anxious to get into Of
fee and if he is an officer at present,
and seeking q reelection, his great
anxiety naturally raises suspicion
that he desires new lease for the
purpose of covering up unseemly
tracks made in the past. Be little
cautious, boys, and don't work too
hard and make too many promises and
pledges, that you know you'll never
carry out.
The candidates We hear the most of
are as follows For Chairman Town
Board, III. w. Shaw and James Bar
don; Supervisors, |. w. Gates, r. B.
Mclean and l. Gouge; Town Treas
urer, Clinton Ansley, A. G. Bertrand;
Clerk, John Whalen; Assessor, John
c. Bertrand, d. Geo. Morrison; Jus
tees, A. C. Brown, James Newton, I.
w. Burhans; Constables, Frank Co
lomb, Charles Lord, Jr.; Overseers of
Highways, William Crawford, John
G. Peterson.
There are others now and then men
toned for the several places, and per-
haps before election day some of them
may develope considerable strength.
There are 80 or 40 new voters here
this spring whose voice will be heard
at the polls; and there are perhaps a
hundred more settled here who cannot
vote before next fall, but who have
their preferences and can do a deal of
talking. 1t is generally conceded that
change should be made, at least in
some of the offices. Good, active,
prompt, wide-awake Gall the year
'round) men are wanted The people
are tired of men who will dilly-dally
and wait, and think, and "see" all
the year, and never wake up till just
before election, and then only to spend
one or two thousand dollars Of the
county's money among the working
men to make votes. This little plan
is SO transparent that the workingmen
and everybody else readily see through
it, and they should, and no doubt will.
/" sit down" upon the man who
adopts it.

The Dutath outgoing trains had a
hard time of it, during the storm of

Thomson. The st. Paul engine left
her train and showed the \. p. train
through the drifts to Thomson. On
returning found her own train in a
snow drift six feet deep She then
went to the junction and returned
with another engine, but the two were
powerlcss to pull the train through the
drift. She then ran down to Nahtawa
and brought back still another engine,
and the three, by their united strength,
succeeded II three O'clock this morn

Judge Jno. V. Wright has written
lengthy letter to the Lewisburg
News denying that he ever pledged
himself to veto any bill that settled
higher than so 4. He further says
that the party was not pledged moi
to 60 above that figure and the plat
form could not be so construed.
He says, however, that it was his
opinion and the opinion of nearly
all democrats that the debt could be
settled that low or possibly lower,
but that opinion was based solely
upon what the bondholders had al
ready agreed TO do. This is correct.
We remember speech after speech
during that canvass and in every
one of them the opinion was express
ed that 50-4 or less could be secur-
Ell, and We remember no promises
that it should not go higher. We
see nothing to be gained new by
bringing up these questions. The
thing is passed. We ought to have
gotten less perhaps, but we didn't.
We remember one idea that was ad
mitted on all sides during that can
vass. and that was that we should
not dictate terms to the bondholders.
That was extremely foolish, but the
negotiations were commenced under
that idea. The bondholders never
proposed as low a figure as we
thought they would, and under the
idea that we could not propose to
them, we had to take their propo-

of the District of Colorado, and
Senator Thayer, Of Nebraska. After
digesting the idea for q day or two
it impressed Mr.. Forney favorably,
and--but he can tell the story in his
own words: 81 retired to my rooms
on Capitol hill and prepared the five
column article which appeared in
the Washington Chronicle and the
Philadelphia Press of Nov. 7th,
1867. After it was in type Senator
Thayer and myself called upcn John
A. Rawlins, Chief OF Gen. Grants
staff, and read it to him. he instantly
advised that 1t should appear the
very next day; but l answered that
Gen. Grant was not candidate for
president, and did not desire to be,
and, if / printed it without authori-
ty, there was little doubt that some
superserviceable politician would
call upon him and ask him if he had
been made a candidate with his
sanction. He will. of course, reply
that he never saw the article until
it was in print, and so all your
schemes TO make him president gang
agley. Then Rawlins took it in TO
Gen. Grant and staid long time.
When he returned he said, Gen.
Grant is quite pleased with your
statement of his political record,
and surprised that he proves to be
so good republican, OF course
Grant was predestined to be presi
dent of the United States, but there
can be but little doubt that John
w. Forney was one of the most po
tent instruments in the hands of the
fate that shaped the civil career of
the great captain Philadelphia

DR.. Holmes says: l never saw a
garment too fine for a man or maid !;
there never was a chair too good for
cobbler or a cooper or a king TO
sit in; never a house too fine to
shelter the human head. These
elements about us, the glorious sun,
the imperial sun, are not too good
for the human race. Elegance fits
man. But do we not value these
tools a little more than they are
worth, and sometimes mortgage a
house for the mahogany we bring
into it? 1 had rather eat my din
ner off the head of a barrel, or dress
after the fashion of John the Baptist
in the wilderness, or sit on a block
all my life, than consume all myself
before l got to a home, and take so
much pains with the outside that
the inside was as hollow as an
empty nut. Beauty is a great
thing, but beauty of garment, house,
and furniture are tawdry ornaments
compared with domestic love. All
the elegance in the world will not
make a home, and 1 would give
more for spoonful of real hearty
love than for whole shiploads of
furniture and all the gorgeousnesss
all the upholsters in the world can
gather.

In the Whole History of Medi-
cine

No preparation has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation, as Ayers Cherry
PectOral, which is recognized as thu
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long continued
series of wonderful cures in all climates
has made it universally known as a safe

ordinary colds, which are the forerun-
ners of more serious disorders, it acts
speedily and surely, always relieving
suffering, and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in throat and chest disorders, makes it
an invaluable remedy o be kept always
on hand in every home. No person can
afford to be without it, and those who
have once used it never will. From
their knowledge of its composition and
effects, physicians use the Cherry Pee
toral extensively in their practice, and
clergYmen recommend it. 1t is abso-
lutely certain in its remedial effects,
and will always cure where cures are
possible. For sale at all dealers.

Carrying Bundles.

Many people have a contemplate

This arises from low kind of pride
There is a pride that is higher; that
arises from a consciousness of there

Very different pride was this from
