PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The City Council Finally Awards the Con-



tracts. tr
Last Monday night was the regular
meeting of the City Council, which con-
s1sts of fourteen members, all of which
are more or less divided on subjects that
come up for their consideration, and on
these subjects the brethren do not dwell
altogether In harmony. But at o. m.
the meeting was called to order by
President Shields, who brought the base
ball bat down on the marble slab with
such a whack that ear-whispering
among the COuncilmen came to a sud
den end. Just what these whisperings
were could not he detected by the DEMO
GRAFT vassel, but he made a rude con-
lecture that the bids for the various city
buildings was the absorbing topic, and
he was correct, as after events showed.
The City Clerk read the minutes which
were approved, and then the President
read the following

The above bills were all allowed with

drawn, the treasury doors remained
closed on Tuesday morning, and holders
of vouchers ran around the streets look
ing for discounts. Especial attention is
called to the Street Commissioners pay
roll for the past two weeks and tax
payers can go into some retired corner
and pull out what few remaining hair
they have left on their heads.
MISCELLANEOUS.
verbal petition from Mr.. Wyant for
lamps at the southwest corner of Eighth
and Rex and Eighth and Piedmont
streets was referred to the Committee on
Public Lights.
A burst sewer at Eighth and Piedmont
street was referred to the Committee on
Sidewalks and Sewers and the Street
Commissioner.
SHADE TREES.
The Chair said that there was gen
eral complaint about the failure to
properly trim shade trees, which should
be trimmed to height of eight feet
from the ground. Mr.. Wyant supple
mented the same by remarking that
grass is also growing upon our main
streets, which resemble pasture lots.
Mr.. Sherrick said it was the duty Of the
Mayor to enforce the tree trimming
ordinance, but the whOld matter was
finally referred to the long suffering
Street Commissioner, who has more to
do now than he can attend to, and the
consequence is that wet bOughs of trees
will brush into the faces of pedestrians
just the same as before.

Clerk open bids for city buildings which

There is now no doubt that the
tariff question will soon be the lead
ing issue in American politics. Just
how parties will divide on the ques-
ton is not yet fully determined. If
both parties continue non-committal
or evasive in regard to it we may look
for new party to champion free
trade. However, prominent repub-
licans say that if their party meets
the expected defeat III the Novem-
Der elections this fall, an effort will
be made to make it an ultra tariff
party, and all the machine and ring
elements will harp on the tariff and
endeavor to scare the labor of the
country against making a demo-
cratic President" If the republi-
cans should pursue this course it
would offer a golden opportunity to
the democrats to put themselves
squarely on the side of commercial
freedom and join issue with the pro-
tectionists. If the democrats prove
brave enough to come out for tariff
reform, because it is right, regardless
of policy considerations it will be
well with them. If they do not do it,
a party may be formed which will
leave them stranded.

No more worthy candidate could
have been presented for the office of
Clerk of the Iowa County Circuit
Court than j. l.. Leonard, the DEM
ocratic nominee for that office. He
is an excellent penman, possesses q
good education, is honest and capa-
Bile and we are confident that he
will if elected perform his duties to
the entire satisfaction of the people
of Iowa county. During his resi-
dence of over six years in this city
he has closely applied himself to
study and in earning his own liveli-
hood. He is deserving young man
and one whom the people should
take pleasure in helping to help
himself. The office of Clerk of the
Court could not be conferred upon a
more worthy man than ]. L.
Leonard.

There are many good reasons why
all citizens who care more for the
public welfare than they do fol-
party ties should vote for Hon. Burr
w. Jones, the democratic candidate
for Congress. There are some inn
portant questions which will come
up to be settled by Congress during
the next two years, and Mr.. Jones
position upon these questions will
warrant the people of the Third
Wisconsin district in choosing him
for their representative.
The question of civil service re-
form is being forced by a party OF
earnest men, with the good of the
country at heart, who will not hold
their peace until their case has been
heard and passed upon by Con-
gress. That Mr.. Jones would work
and vote right upon this subject is
attested by his being one of the
founders of the Madison Civil Ser
vice Reform Club, and by his admit
rable letter to that body, which we
publish elsewhere in to-day's issue.
The question of tariff reform is
being brought before the country by
circumstances so powerful that no
party politicians will be able to keep
it any longer in the back ground. Mr..
Jones is an able advocate of and an
earnest worker for tariff reform, and
has has always condemned the pro-
tective system. If the Democrats
elect a majority of the next House
of Representatives, the election OF
Mr.. Jones might be very important
III shaping that party's course upon
the tariff question. There will un-
douotedly be Il struggle over the
position of speaker and the make up
of the ways and means committee,
and in that struggle tariff reformers
will be matched against democratic
members from Pennsylvania, and
others who have selfish interests to
subserve. All who favor greater
commercial freedom should cast
their votes for man who would
throw his weight against the spoil
alton system.
Upon these and other questions,
Mr., Jones would cast his vote and
use his influence as BELTS a patriot
and not mere follower of party.
Give him your vote and thereby en-
courage straightforwardness in pol
itics.

The following has been handed us
for publication, being matter pre-
pared for The Chronicle:
A. S. HEARN, ESQ: My Dear Sir:-In reply to
YOUR comments on the query of some anony-
nous correspondent in last weeks issue of The
Chronicle, have to say: that never received $40
nor 40 cents, from the County Board for advising
Them nor for performing my duty as District Attor-
ney which my salary covered. The law makes it
the duty of the District Attorney" to advise the
County Board when requested; but does NOT
make it his duty to remain in daily attendance
but at the request of some members of the Board.
For my expenses, hotel bills and livery, not
for advising or even for attendance, they
thought il proper to compensate me.
Concerning my charging the county $40. for
one days services in the Fitzpatrick case in OAR
lington: My recollection is that my bill was
SIS. not $40, and it occurred in this wise: One
Fitzpatrick was convicted of larceny in Justice
Courtr He appealed. His counsel (Mr. McArthur)
obtained change of venue TO Darlington the
defendant living in that county.
/ opposed the motion-but unsuccessfally-
Judge Cothren deciding that on account of the
defendants residence and his witnesses all being
near Darlington, the case should go there for
trial. When court met in December, went the
first day, necessarily, to hear the calendar called
and get an idea, if could. when the case would
be reached 1t was impossible to tell, and 1
came home that evening. Finally, if remem-
Der correctly, the case was tried during the
second week and 1 was compelled in order to
be ready for trial. to attend court, for three or
four days. / however, kept all my witnesses
lsome seven on eight in Mineral Point. where the
crime was committed, and where the witnesses
all lived, and finally telegraphed for them, saw
ing the county all l could on their fees. Anyone
who has ever attended the circuit court be he
lawyer or layman, knows how uncertain 1t is
when a case will be reached, and I was COM
PEELED to remain in Darlington on the Fitzpatrick
case alone, three or four days. The statute pro-
vides that when the District Attorney goes into
another county, he shall be paid his necessary
expenses. Idon't think my bill was excessive:
in fact, for what did many lawyers would have
charged, not fifteen dollars, but fifty dollars
have neither excuse nor apology to offer in
either matter received only what thought
was entitled to. can safely say then with per
feet truth: That did not receive money for the
performance of official dnties outside of my
salary, neither did charge the county, SO for
one DAYS attendance in Darlington.
Understand: Ny reply is 20 YoU. personally, and
NOT to the eowardly eur, wt5 nrst makes use OF
my name, and then withholds his own.
Respectfully Yours.

PrestratiOn.

The weakening effects of protract-
ed disease, even after convalescence
from the malady itself, are some
times of such a serious character
as to endanger the life of the pa
tient to greater extent than did
the disease itself When 4 person
suffers from an attack of illness. they
are too apt after recovery to forget
that their digestive and other organs
have been weakened by their ina
bility to perform their functions,
and they lose sight OF the fact that
q relapse is oftimes more dangerous
than the original attack. In cases
of mental or physical prostration.
nothing viii SO thoroughly build up
the system as q true tonic, and
nothing but tonic viii SO strength
en- the body thai it viii be able to
resist the recurrence of disease.
Such tonic is Browns Iron Bitters.

Some of Hazelton's supporters are
trying to make capital out of the
fact that all of the other candidates
for member of congress from this
district are residents of Dane county.
This they claim is the result of
the innate greediness of the people
of that county, and such greediness
they say ought to be rebuked.
Besides being no argument at all
against the election of good can
didate, this objection on account
of place of residence springs from
one of the worst instincts in hui
man nature. Sectional hate and
prejudice play no important part
in politics where voters are not
ignorant or degraded, and we are
sure that the people of the third
district will give but little heed
to the demagogues who are trying
to influence them by appealing to
their passions,

Hon. w. +. Rowe is not only one
of the best men in Iowa county, but
a man whom the people should de-
light to favor at this time by electing
him to the position for which he is
a candidate. Mr.. Rowe is most ia
vorably known where best known.
He enjoys in a high degree the con-
fidence of his neighbors and friends
ard no one ever seriously thinks of
opposing him in his own town. His
name adds strength to the ticket on
which it is placed. His unimpeach-
able personal and political integrity
makes him a very acceptable NOM
inee for Treasurer, and we believe
that the people of the county will
ratify his nomination at the polls on
the eth of November.

HON. RICHARD KENNEDY FOR THE
ASSEMBLY.

Hon. Richard Kennedy, of High
land, is before the people of the
Western district of this county as
candidate for the Assembly, not
of his own seeking, but at the
earnest solicitation Of his very
many friends who believe him to
be just the man whom the people
of the district should send to the
Legislature to represent their inter
ests, and to vote against all unnec-
essary or unjust legislation. Mr..
Kennedy has been a resident OF
Highland from childhood; he is
thoroughly acquainted with the
wants of the people, and is
closely identified with the material
development of his district. In Sc
lecting him to represent the district
in the Legislature all can rest assured
that he will withhold his voice and
vote from the support of partisan
measures; that he will act in the
interests of the whole people, and
not for this or that party or faction.
In 1879 Mr.. Kennedy was elected
to the Assembly from the then
Northern district. His record in the
legislature of 1880 stands without a
blemish. By his courteous manner
and gentlemanly bearing he won
for himself hosts of friends, and
long before the close of his term he
was regarded as one of the most in
huential members. We have no
doubt that he will be reelected to a
position which he SO ably and hon
orally filled. The election ofsuch
men as Mr.. Kennedy is the best evil
dence that can be given that the
people are alive to their interests
and desire to be represented by
honest, straightforward men, and
not by professional politicians.

Hon. James Ryan, of Ridgeway.
spent a few hours in Mineral Point,
on Saturday last. The cordial man
ner in which he was greeted on all
hands attests to the high esteem in
which he is held, not only by his
party friends but by those who
differ with him politically. A man
who does his duty and stands by
the right because it is right, is sure
to make friends. Mr.. Ryan's friends
here, without regard to party, will see
to it that his interests are taken care
of at the polls.

w. H. Keane, the Democratic can
didate for County Clerk is a young
man who is well deserving of the
office. He is very popular where
ever known. He is an honest,
straightforward man, and his cleo
ton to the office of County Clerk
would be a compliment worthily
bestowed.

Mr.. Thomas Holland, we'll
known citizen Of New York, con
tributes one thousand dollars to
help forward the cause of free
trade, promising an equal additional
sum in due time, By the awakened
interest in free trade, and conse-
quent election of such men as
Frank Hurd to congress; the ter
rible and Ubiquitous tariff monopo-
oily will soon be broken, which
when accomplished will cause re-
joicing even among the millions
of its blind supporters.
