THE ACKNOWLEDGED LEADER.
Mr.. Clementson More Than Fsyorably Mentioned
The Right Man In the Right Place.

BLOOMINGTON, Wis, Jan. 29.-Cor
Mil. Republican,: In the notice given
by your Madison correspondent of the
several candidates for the judgship in
this circuit, he fails to place the candi-
dacy of the Hon. George Clementson in
its true light. He says Mr. Clementson
is ''favorably mentioned by leading Re-
publicans for Circuit Judge , that The
is younger and less experienced than the
other. but especially favored by friends
of reforms, with whom he has cooper
ated." Having resided in the district
for sixteen years, and repeatedly can
vassed in the interest of the Republican
party, the writer is perhaps in q better
position to testify to the status of the
candidates than a stranger.
Mr.. Clementson is more than ''fayora-
bly, mentioned He has the support
of almost the entire bar of the circuit :;
and although his high character as
man, and his sense of the dignified ma
ture of his office, forbid resort to politi-
cal connections and articles to secure
popular support, he, nevertheless, has
SO fully the confidence and support of
tire people at large, that his nomination
is, to-day, certainty. Mr.. Clementson
is not much younger than the other
candidates. He is 40 years of age, ma
tured in manhood, vigorous in health,
with remarkable capacity for labor
Nor is he, certainly. ''less experienced"
than the others-if the experience which
qualities a man for the position of Judge.
comes, not for working for and holding
political office, but from an arduous,
constant, successful practice at the bar
since 1864 period of fourteen years.
Mr.. ClementsDn is the acknowledged
leader of the Fifth Judicial Circuit. and,
as your correspondent truthfully says,
very popular in every county. As an
acute, profound lawyer. a successful.
high-minded, conscientious practitioner,
he has no superior, and as brilliant,
eloquent advocate, he has no peer in all
the circuit.
The only reforms with which he
has "co operated is the EXAMPLE he
has given to society. of an exceptionally
pure life, high sense of honor, and
friendly courtesy. IT is simple truth and
justice to say that in point of charac-
ter. experience. ability, freedom from
personal preiudices and eyen-that last
quality that ought to attach to a candi-
date for such an Office, but since cleo
tive, necessary to be considered avail
bility, no other man in the Fifth Judi
cial circuit SO near approaches the true
ideal of .'the right man, in the right
place. as does Mr. Clementson, rs can
didate for the judgship.

Inhabitants OF the Air.

A French naval doctor, NJ Crevaux,
has lately made important explorations
in the northern part of South America,
more especially in the valley of the ORR
noco and its atfluents. Among other
facts of observation he states that the
Guaraunus, at the delta of that river
take refuge in the trees when the delta
is inundated. There they make sort
of dwelling with branches and clay.
the women light, ON small piece of
floor, the fire needed for cooking, and
the traveller on the river by night often
sees with surprise long rows of flames
at considerable height in the air. The
Guaraunos dispose of their dead by
hanging them in hammocks in the tops
of trees. DR.. Crevaux, in the course of
his travels, met with geophagous, or
earth-eating tribes. The clay which
often serves for their food for whole
months, seems to be mixture of oxide
of iron and some organic substance.
They have recourse to it more especially
in times of scarcity; but, strange to say,
there are eager gourmands for the sub
stance, individuals in whom the depraV-
ed taste becomes so pronounced that
they may be seen tearing pieces of ferru-
ginuoS clay from huts made from it, and
putting them into their mouths.

The Merits OF American Horses.

The Americans are cutting us out of
another market. For many years the
demand of France and Germany for re-
mounts has been confidently calculated
upon by our orse-brceders; but it would
seem that in this market also we are be-
ing undersold by America. French
agents are out West with orders for no
fewer than 5000 horses for the French
army. They are to be shipped to Havre
in patches of $50 at time. These
American horses, as shipper says, are
just the thing to carry a Frenchman in
10 or out of fight, as they are hardy
and spirited. Three years ago 1000
American horses were shipped to Lon
don to the Metropolitan Tramway Com
pany, and letter is quoted from Mr..
c. A. Smith, Chairman of the company,
to the effect that 1.-The American horses
are the toughest and most hardy of any
that we can get. | would give two
French horses for one American one any
day" 1t would seem that it is not only
on the race-course that the transatlantic
horse-breeder distances his British COM

Candidate Of Whom the District Can Very Wei
be Proud.
A gentleman born and raised in La
Fayette county assures us that Mr..
Clementson is the choice of the Repub-
leans of this county for the office of
Judge of the Circuit Court, to succeed
the present incumbent, Judge Cothren.
He says that the citizens of old La Fay-
cite are tired of having the important
office of County Judge run in the inter
est of the person holding the office, at
the expense of justice. Judge Cothren
has shown himself to be unworthy of the
high office to which the people irrespee-
tive of party have elevated him, and
ought in the interest of justice, to be
relegated to private life. Ii the choice
of the Republican Judicial Convention
should fall upon Mr.. Clementson (as
we think it wilD the republicans of that
circuit will have candidate of whom
they may well be proud. The writer of
this has known Mr.. Clementson init

Sugar Making.

The HERALD:-Our Governor in his
annual message for 1882, speaks of the
manufacture of sugar from Amber cane
Also in your late issue of Jan. 26, YOU
state that the chemist of the State Agri-
cultural school, furnished you Through
the courtesy of H. A. Moore) with
samples of sugar made from amber cane;
and you farther tell us that "about 1000
lbs. of sugar and go gallons of molasses
can be manufactured from an acre of
amber cane''. | wish to ask. What is
the process of making sugar from said
plant, and can it be successfully followed
in an inexpensive way by farmers of
small means? We, our neighbors, re-
duce the cane juice to syrup in an open
pan in the open air, and while the juice
is boiling, we sometimes add lime water
or milk of lime or else Bi-carbonate of
soda Common cooking soda) and some
times nothing. If soda is added to the
juice about ] a pound more or less in
90 or 60 gallons of juice, or the equiv
alent of about 8 gallons of syrup. Some
times we find crystals Tor grains of
sugar. in thick syrup from amber cane,
but whether such grains are anything
more than glucose is a question. Has
the sugar that our state chemist speaks
OF, all the peculiarities of good. tropical
grown, cane sugar? QUIZ.
THE HERALD understands it eatisfac-
tory result can be obtained from the crude
methods necessarily employed at present
but that mills expressly fitted for this
purpose must be erected. 1t will how
ever obtain further information on this
point for the benefit of its correspon-
dent and those interestedin cane culture.
