ties by usages of centuries of English
legislation and by our own written con-
stitution and hereafter the wisest thing
that defeated party can do, is imme-
diately after the count shows they lack
even one Of a majority, to withdraw the
members they did elect, and leave the
business Of government and legislation
entirely to the majority.
The infamy of that decision is so OBJ
vious, that it is only necessary to look
calmly at it in the light of parliament
airy tradition to recognize it. There
would be no need of rules at all, except
to protect the privileges of minorities
If the rules can at any moment be
amended by bare majority, that fact
alone abolishes all rules, except the
momentary will of the majority. All
parliamentary devices and eXpedients-
which the wisdom and experience OF
ages have brought into parliamentary
usage, by which moderate minorities
have also been able, in times Of over
mastering heat and passion, to enforce
delay and consideration, and postpone
action until debate and public opinion
were given time and opportunity to
check ill-advised, corrupt or angry dis
tempered legislation-are swept away.
There can be no scheme of despotism
so wicked, no job of robbery so infam-
Gus, no plot of revolution so dastardly,
but new rule can be introduced to
make it a question of the highest priv
ilege, and, under Keifer's ruling, the
new rule can be in its turn also declared
ofthe highest privilege, and the rule and
the plot be forced through on the in
slant by a large majority Of one.
These were the parliamentary meth
DDS of the French revolution, by which
the Left and Centre first cut off the
heads of the king and the members of
the Right; by which the Left next cut
off the heads of the Centre and by
which, after the royalists and Girond-
lists were disposed of, the Left began
decapitating their own minority, whose
only claim to power was absolute I'M
scrupulousness, submerged France in q
sea of blood.
There is not much danger that the
process will be carried so far here. 1t
is too late by century, and the nation
is too well united to submit. But under
a rigorous application of Keifer's rul-
ing, there. is nothing but the will of the
majority and the fear of popular ven
geance, to protect the minority from
parliamentary humiliation. There is
no Lao left to protect them. Under
that ruling the majority of Congress
could empty every Democratic scat this
week and the Robson majority of the
government party could empty every
honest Republicans scat next week /;
and then, with the government in their
own hands, run riot with the peoples
money and the peoples liberty.
Is there no Republican who suf-
ficiently loves parliamentary law to
rise up and protest?

The Alpena City Hospital.

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens of Alpena and vicinity
that they have opened an Hospital
for the treatment Of oil Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets q want
that has long been felt in this com.
munity, where large number of un.
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful at
tention and skilful treatment of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the Co.
operative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from SO to Sc peryear in advance,
and if taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will be taken
care Of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are so moderate,
compared with the benefits received,
that this Hospital must commend it
self to the public as soon as it shall
be thoroughly understood. i.
Arrangements are made that one Of
the Doctors will he on duty night and
day, when required by one or more
patients.
DR.. Maiden's great experience as a
Surgeon during our late war, the last
year of which he had charge of o
large Military Hospital, together with
over twenty years practice, cannot be
questioned In its success.
DR.. Newton, although younger, has
had large Hospital experience, and
has particularly devoted good por-
ton of his time to the study Of dis
eases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support of this enterprise, es-
pecially by those whom it is most in
tended to benefit.

LAST Friday after long illness, one
Of our oldest settlers and best citizens,
Mr.. Morris Murphy. went to his long
rest. Mr.. Murphy was native OF Ire
land but came to this country at an
early day and cast his lot in Grant county
where he has since resided, an indus
trious, faithful and honest neighbor
and citizen. In lS49 Mr.. Murphy,
with others, went with Gen. John Il.
Calls. who had a contract to erect Il
government fort, about three hundred
miles above St. Paul. and was there
some three years assisting in the con-
struction of what was first known as
Fort Gaines and afterwards Fort Ripley.
During the exposures incident to the
work in that wild region. Mr.. Murphy
contracted u disease which remained bv
him until the day of his death. Not
outstanding his i'll health he continued
with marked perseverance to keep about.
Having accumulated sufficient sum
while in Minnesota, he purchased the
farm which he for so many years titled
and, by thrift and industry, was enabled
to leave comfortable competency for
his family, consisting of wife and three
children. tw daughters and son, The
funeral took place from the Catholic
church Sunday, and was attended by a
large number of sympathizing friends
who wished thus to pay their last res
poets to one who had been a kind huS-
band, a loving father and good neighbor.
Deceased was in his seventv-tifth year
at the time Of his death.

Mrs. Ladd's death was sudden and
unexpected, she had been ailing for
some time, what was supposed to be a
cold and asthematic affection, had par
tally confined her to her bed for few
days. Apparent improvement was fol-
lowed on Friday evening by an attack
producing Inconsistencies, from which
she never rallied, and at two O'Clock on
Saturday morning, she passed from
Earth.
Mrs. Ladd was the sister of the elder
BARRIERS. the largest family connection
of this city. She lived for many years
in the city of Brooklyn, where she leaves
yet many cherished friends. OF late
she had lived there, and among her re-
lations here, about equally. Failing
health, however, led her last summer
to seek home here among her kindred,
and here she died, and here with her
father and mother, and two brothers,

Mr.. and Mrs. W. f. Brown returned
to their home, in Stevens Point, Tuesday.
Squire Stehl, of Washbun, was in
the city Monday attending to business
matters.
Mr.. John d. Wilson, of Boscobel, was
in the city Monday, looking after mat
tiers before the county court.
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Street left
Saturday morning for few days trip
to Chicago and st. Louis.
Mr.. Richard Carter, and wife, of
Dodgeville, were in the city during the
past week, on short visit.
Miss Clara Lyon, who has been visit
ing at Mr.. Richard Meyers, took her

Mrs. F. g. Eddy and daughter took
their departure for Providence r. L.,
Saturday morning, intending to be abb
sent some time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charnley, who were the
guests of Lieut.. and Mrs. Barber for a
short visit, left Saturday morning for
their home in Chicago.
John Reed started out, Tuesday morn
ing, on trip of evangelization, among
those who still linger in the dim light of
forgotten penmanship systems.
DR.. Charles w. Eaton, who has been
dangerously ill with material disease, at
Des Moines is recovering. His mother
remains with him for the present.
Col. N. Fl. Virgin, of Platteville, was
noticed, among Lancaster visitors, early
in the week. The Colonel was under
stood to be on political matters intent.
Mrs. DR.. Conant and Miss Alice Ed
wards, of Prairie du Chen, who have
been visiting in Lancaster for some past,
took their departure for home last Mon
day morning.
Mr.. Archie Bell, of Platteville, was in
| Lancaster the first of the week looking
after legal matters. AS usual Archie
was strong in the faith that Hazelton
was the coming man.
Mr. f. P. Dickinson, of Lima, took a
look at Lancaster surroundings, Tues
day. MIR. Dickinson is the to be Assembly
man, from the First District, and one of
whom much good is expected by his con-
stituents.
Hon. d. B. Stevens, the coming As
semblyman, from the Second District.
was in the city, for few hours, Tues
day. Mr.. Stevens made good record,
rs new member, last winter, which he
may be fairly expected to improve at the
next session.
Hon. f. /. Kidd, who was unani-
mously nominated, by his constituents
of the third district, for third term in
the Legisl ature, was in the city, Tues
day. As nc has been endorsed by the
temperance men, and is particular fa-
vorite among all classes of citizens, his
chances for seeing the legislative halls,
this winter, may be quoted as prime.
Hon. Geo. c. Hazelton passed few
hours among Lancaster friends, the first
of the week. Mr. Hazelton has lost none
of his hearty, old-time cheeriness, which
attracts all classes, and Notwithstanding
the complicated political situation, feels
quite certain that when the votes are
counted, he will be in the lead, belief
which is shared by his thousands of
friends in Grant County.

brated the 18th anniversary of their
wedding, on the 18th instant. There
were about thirty-fve in attendance,
and it was one of the social events that

thereby save eggs-spense.

On last Thursday night some persons
with better appreciation of good but
ter han of the laws of their country en-
tered the creamery and appropriated
three tubs of the choice article there
manufactured. The loss was discovered
Friday morning and an examination
made for footprints in the sands of
time" but they failed to materialize
All that was discovered were two holes,
evidently made by a ladder where it had
been placed against the building, show
ing the thieves had effected an entrance
through the window. As the butter
was in the refrigerator and that locked,
with the lock in the morning apparently
undisturbed. the job was plainly the
work OF some one who was acquainted
with the premises and the hiding place
of the key to the lock. The amount
taken was about one hundred and sixty
five pounds, valued at sixty-five dollars,
from which it will be seen that the
greasy rascals did good nights work.
On Wednesday evening having some
branding of tubs to do, preparatory to
shipping next day, Mr.. DePuy and his
assistant went to the building rather
late. As they approached, man
started from the corner of the building
and walked rapidly away. Nothing
was thought oft at the time but, viewed
in the light of what followed, the thieves
had evidently intended to make a much
larger haul than they afterwards made.
As will be seen in another column a re-
ward of twenty-five dollars is offered
for the capture, or any information lead
ing to the capture and conviction, of the
thief or thieves.

THE much looked for change in the
running time of the Galena train, oc-
CURED last Monday. Under the pres
ent time card this train leaves Galena at
6;35 a. m, arriving in this city at IL 40
a. m. Returning it leaves Lancaster at
40 T. m, and arrives at Galena at 9:25
p. m, connecting both ways, at Fenni-
more with train from and to Wood
man and at Montfort with the Miwau-
kee passenger. The Woodman train
arrives at Fennimore at $40 a. M, and
40 p. m, leaving there at 1856 n. M,
and GAO p. IN. There is no change in
the time of other trains. BY this ar
raugement merchants receive their
Chicago night mail before noon and in
time to answer commercial letters and
get them away on the afternoon train.
Also any one wishing to go east can do
SO either in the morning or evening,
which is decided advantage over the
old rule. The complaints which have
been so frequent of the difficulty expert
enced in getting to Lancaster and back,
from surrounding towns, in the same
day, win now cease, as direct connec-
ton is made with all the towns along
the line, Boscobel included.
