THE SENTENCE.

The trial is over, the last effort for
acquittal of the assassin has been
made, and once more, the hearts OF
the American people beat freely and
regularly. Judge Cox has sentenced
Guiteau to be hung on the 30th day OF
June, 1882. TIE say that this gives
universal satisfaction, feebly express.
es the idea. The pent up feelings OF
the Nation seem to give way, and
most emphatic are the expressions OF
approval from men of all parties. The
condemnation heaped upon the Judge
has given way to admissions that he
managed the case in the best manner
possible. So emphatic has been the
voice of the people, that in the future
cranks of that sort will probably
think twice before they shoot once.

AN exchange expresses some of our
ideas upon the railroad magnate who
represents Wisconsin in the United
States Senate as follows:
If there is any man in congress who
didn't go there for nothing, that man
is Senator Sawyer. The Oshkosh SEN
ator has now a scheme on foot fol-
passing a bill to strip the pine timber
off the Menomonee Indian reservation.
The Oshkosh people admit that it is a
monster job; and it is, too. No man
will work harder IN congress than
Senator Sawyer, but all his work will
be in passing bills for Senator Sawyer.
In this pine land job 10 doubt Senator
Sawyer is ably assisted by Congress
man Thad. Pound. By the time these
men leave congress there will not be
anything left on any Indign reserva-
ton in this state worth taking off.
The job above referred to is not
the only one in which pine timber
statesmen are interested.

Hon. WV. I. PRICE has in
PRODUCED into the Assembly bill for
the enactment of a stringent liquor
aw, but the Republican majority will
prevent its passage through fear OF
alternating the German vote of the
Lake Shore counties. FL the mean
time the temperance people are watch
ing the legislature and slowly forming
the conviction that for the present
the Republican bosses prefer the Ger
man to the Temperance vote. The
way for the temperance people to gain
the ear of the dominant party is to
muster more votes than the particular
class which it at present especially de-
sires to retain.

"WHAT shall be done with Guiteau's
bodya" is the question that now en-
cages the attention of his relatives
and lawyers. Brother-in-law Scoville,
being of a practical turn. thinks it
would be good scheme to have the
body placed on public exhibition, the
proceeds of the show to be devoted to
the payment of Guiteau's debts, the
largest of which is Scoville's fee. 1t
is to be hoped that the proper officers
will take measures to prevent the dis
grace to the American people that
would follow a general exhibition of
the body of President Garfield's assas-
sin.

III. A. TAYLOR writes from France
upon question that has been much
discussed here, as follows:
The question of the establishment
by the u. S. Government, of Postal
Savings Bank System, has been con
slderably agitated in our country. l
have long been of the opinion that
such a system would be of great value,
especially to the poorer classes OF peo-
pie. 1t would stimulate to economy,
would be easily available and abso-
lutely without risk. Such a system
has just been adopted in France. 1t
went into effect on the lst instant.
| will give briefly it's methods of work
ing. 1t is established under the guar
antee of the State. Bank books are
given without charge to depositors,
who are required to make declara-
ton that they have no deposits in 9TH
pr savings banks. Married women
may make deposits and withdraw
them without the intervention of their
husbands, and minors may do the
same without the interference OF their
guardians, except that they must be
l8 years old before they can make
Withdrawals. No deposit of less than
one franc can be made. and every de;
post must be in a round sum-that is
to say, in francs without centimes.
No single account may exceed 1000
francs. Every possessor of q bank
book may make subsequent deposits
and Withdrawals at any post office in
France. Interest will be allowed at
the rate of 3 per cent, calculating
from the 1st to the 10th of the month,
whichever date comes first after the
deposit, and it will be allowed up to
the LIST or 10Th preceding the date of
withdrawal. On Dec, 3lst the inter-
est accrued will be added to the capt.
tai, and will in turn bear interest. A
depositor wishing to withdraw por-
ton or the whole of his deposit, will
forward form duly filled up to the
Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, stat
ing the number of his handbook, the
sum he wants, and the post office where
he wishes to receive the money; and
he may obtain it within eight days.
Every depositor who has deposited
ten francs may have that amount OF
public stock purchased and placed to
his credit, without expense. When
the bank book is to be balanced an ac-
acknowledgement of the possession of the
book is forwarded by the Department,
and the book is returned without
charge to the owners residence. Fa-
cilities are provided for transferring
accounts from private savings banks
to those of the post Office and rice GER
sa. The post Office will be open eve-
ry day for savings bank business.

EUL0GIES on THE DEAD.

The Baraboo Valley Prohibitionist
prefaces an article upon the death of
Judge Barron with the following per-
tinent suggestions:
Say nothing but good of the dead
is charitable motto. In ordinary
cases it is wise to observe it. Some
times, however. it happens that one of
known evil habits and sinful life dies,
and highly colored eulogies and flatter-
ing notices follow him to the grave.
His life is represented as one of honor
and usefulness. All of this has a
wrong influence. 1t is false charity,
and misleading to the young. 1t I'M.
consciously teaches that no matter
what mans life has been he should
be lauded at death. 1t makes no dis
tinction between virtue and vice. Ii
it is not advisable to speak of a man s
failures after his death. it is certainly
out of place to clothe him in virtues
be never possessed.
So prevalent has become the custom
of bestowing unmerited praise upon
the dead that eulogies are hardly a
fair index of ones real worth. AS a
rule, the eulogy upon a public man
whose vices, if nurtured by private
citizen would Danish him from decent
society, reads the same rs though it
were upon one whose moral character
was unsullied. Wisconsin has had
and now contains public men in Off
cial station who would have forever
remained in the most humble walks of
private life had their preferment been
contingent upon established reputa-
tions for moral worth, temperate hab-
its and financial honor. This is II sub
ject which fathers having sons grow
ing to manhood will do well to ponder 4,
and such virtues in an officer as they
desire their sons to emulate should be
required of those to whom their suf-
frages are given.

Miss Jessie NJ. Austin has sent US a

has been answered already we omit
giving hers. Ed
A. RosENBERGER,
SIR: Allow me, if you
please, to challenge the statement of
J. J. Shulthess in his answer to query
AZ, ED. Col"
He says:
s'Let a=sos the entire length of line OF longi-
tude.
b==6a4 miles, the diverging distance Of IL
of longitude at the equator.
y=45o the known lat.
x=the desired distance of 10 Of longitude
at the known lat.
We have a: b:;y :x."
This is true when, as in the case cit
ed, - $50, but in no other case; and
the gentleman by using general terms
implies a general statement.
A and b are constant known terms.
Y is also known term but a variable
one, while is an unknown term the
value of which depends on the value
of v, therefore as y increases Ia and b
being constantly X increases and ac-
cording to the gentlemen's statement
the nearer the pole is approached the
greater the length of 1s.
For instance l wish to find the
length of | deg. at the pole. By the
gentleman's proportion
a. 30
b. 691a
v 90
* 691@
While at latitude deg, a. 30, b
~ 6914, VI, * 13o-180.
This is absurd.
Now III the gentleman's answer un-
der he states the facts, but in his al
gebraic statement he forgets that the
latitude of place is its distance from
the equator not from the pole. Let
him substitute for the value of y the
distance of the lot from from the pole
depressed in degrees) not its latitude.
His statement viii then be correct.
Respectfully,
