The Country NeMspaper.

Referring to the country journalists,
G.. w. Peek, of Milwaukee, says:
"When we think of the hard drudg-
sry that these enterprising indefatiga-
bic workers do in week, aud the small
amount of thanks and cash they re-
ceiye in return, we feel as though some
thing was wrong somewhere. Why il
Is that in many localities the people do
not appreciate the Importance of good
newspaper, and sustain it by liberal
patronage, thus making it better pa
per, is one of the most unaccountable
things in the world. We have no ur-
gent call now to say this but We tell
the people in every locality where pa-
per is published, no matter how small
and Insignificant the paper may be, tina
every delIar they pay it for subscrip-
tons or iudicious advertising puts two
dollars in cash in their own pockets.
We have figured on it and we know.
1t may net look so on its face, but it
is very deceiving. Lots of schemes
that look as though they had millions
in them. like the man who is sure he
can pick out the right card in three
card monte, fail to return anything

a Remarkable Case.

Apprepos to Mr.. Waleott, Of New
York, swallowing his sixty quails, there
is case in point near there worthy of
record. Rev. j. G. Hull, of Aztalan,
same county, has been afflicted with a
disease of the stomach for some years
past, caused by an excess of acid Sc
cretions. Soda was ths only thing he
could find to relieve the trouble and
from small beginnings he has got to
using astonishingly large quantities of
the compound. Since year ago last
March, not quite two years, Mr.. Hull
has taken the fabulous amount of 225
pounds. He still continues its use in
the same proportion, averaging about
2-1-2 pounds a week. He is far
from being a we'll man and has lost
some ferty-fYe pounds of flesh in two
years, but is bright and active. His
case is entitled to the consideration of
the medical fraternity.

THE STATE PARK.

/ To the Editor of The Sentinel.1
Your paper has of late contained
notices of the so-called State Park,
purporting to have been set apart Z
few years since by our Legislature, in
which statements are made that abou,
90, 900 acres, had been Withdrawn from
sale by the State with the ostensibIe
purpose of keeping the forests lying
about the source Of the Wisconsin
river.
Will you let me correct some
erroneous impressions about this So
called State Park? In the first place.
the park does not lie on the head
waters Of the Wisconsin, but very little
of its waters draining through that
river-the most passing through the
tlambeau into the Chippewa some
through the Michigan streams into
Lake Superior, about one fifth threu oh
the Wisconsin. The claim was only a
pretense.
In the second place, the State has no
title to the lands thus made into a
park. Four townships constitute the
Flambeau Indian reservation of which.
for the present, no power can pass the
title. The sixteenth sections vested
in the State can be used for school
purposes only. and this State has con-
troll over them for no other purpose.
The swamp lands, and these only, are
vested IN the State An investigation
recently made gives the clear ard un-
deniable fact that the State has title in
these of less than 5000 acres. I have
not the exact amount before me now,
but my memory is that the amount is
about 400 acres.
Ne act of the State, then, could
make this a State Park. The under
taking was as foolish as it could be for
a man who owned single lot in the
city attempting to set the whole block |
into park. The only effect of the
legislative act was to withdraw the
State lands of 400 acres from the
sale. The passing of the act was
big land job. What cat was under the
meal, perhaps Senator Bean tell. |
The setting apart and the proposed |
abandonment are probably the acts of |
the same persons. S. G.
The above letter is from gentleman
who ought to be, and we persume is,
we'll informed on the subject respecting
which he writes. What he SAYS is |
worth the attention of the members of |
'he Legislature who are asked to repeal |
'he law establishing the Lincoln Coun-
y State Park. 1t appears that very |
lttle of the land contained within the |
limits fixed for the park are the prop |
'rty of the State, about 5000 acres
'nly. A part is Government land. |
Dur correspondent thinks that the low
establishing the park was devised by
operators in land, and that probably |
,he same persons, finding the moment |
favorable for pushing their Interior
schemes are now behind the bill for it's |
repeal. At all events, the Legislature
should investigate the subject carefully
before acting upon the pending bill.
No doubt if the State desires to main
tain the park, as it now is, the General
Government will not interfere, but would
probably give the use of such lands as
belong to it within the park limits to
the State as long as the latter chooses
to keep them only for public use.

Ex-Gov. William e Smith.

The death of Ex-Gov. William E.
Smith, which occurred last Tuesday
night, has caused greater degree OF
sorrow throughout the state than the
death Of any public man in its histo-
rY, with the exception, perhaps, of
that of Matt Carpenter and Gov. Har-
Vey. He was held in universal es-
TEEN; he had lived pure and blame
less life his acquaintance was almost
universal throughout the state, and to
the vast body Of the people. his loss
is felt as a personal calamity. Gov.
Smith, with much mildness in his
manner, and the most cautious meth
DDS forming part of his character,
nevertheless possessed strong emo
tional nature he was more than un-
usually firm in his convictions in
private and public life his principles
were answering +; his judgement was
enlightened and well balanced his
sense of duty was high and he walk
ed by the light which his conscience
shed along his pathway. He was
in all respects one of the most esti-
mable men who have adorned public
life in Wisconsin. He was state
treasurer subsequent to the war period
and while the finances of the country
were in a sensitive condition INSOFAR
able from the fever, excitement and |
expansion produced by the war he
was afterwards speaker of the assem-
bly, during one of the most stormy
sessions in the history of the legisla-
ture and his term as governor from
1878 to 1882 covered transition pc
Rod in state and national affairs. But
few men could have passed through |
these trying times in public affairs.
with convictions 50 firm as his, with
disposition which did not easily yield
to compromising policies, and with
views of duty which never knew or
sought middle ways of action, and get
retain the respect and confidence of
friends and opponents alike, and in all
the strifes of opinions and parties, not
make private or public enemy. 1t
can with truth be said that such was
she experience of Gov. Smith, and
that he retired from public life as he
entered it, without one personal foe,
and with no man who wished him i'll
in his further career, whenever it
might tend in the ways Of business, or
be involved in possible recall to the
public service.
Gov. Smith had few or no con-
spiouous faults in his public or private
character. He had none of the OBJ
vious vices of many men, perhaps the
majority of men, in official life. He
was kind and humane. His ambitions,
for he was ambitious, was of an eleva-
ted and worthy character. His abil-
tiles were of high order He was
pious man IN his life not merely as to
appearances, but in his thoughts, mo-
tives and convictions. As husband
and father, as a neighbor and as cit
izen, teo high praise cannot be accord
ed tohis eharacter--Sa Sunday Telegraph.

Chippewa Herald Last Monday
afternoon as the Abbotsford train was
going west and when within two miles
and half of Eau Claire it struck a
team on crossing, killing one of the
horses instantly and smashing the
sleigh into kindIing wood. The
strangest part of the accident is that
while one horse was cut up so that his
heart lay several feet from the carcass
the other horse was apparently I'M
injured. There were two teams, both
drivers being on the first sleigh. Had
the man been on his own sleigh, the
accident in all probability wouldn't
have happened. H. J. johnson was
the mans name that owned the team,
and he resides at Eau Claire.

CHANGED Fortune.

Miss Mary j. Windle, once a popular
writer at the south aud in Washington,
is said to be living in poverty and want
in Philadelphia. Almost any fine day
she is to be seen on Chestnut street,
dressed in a blue and black plaid, with
small fur cape and huge poke bonnet,
from beneath which fall her long gray
curls; sometimes she carries in her hand
a huge umbrella, sometimes a bandana
handkerchief, and sometimes a slice of
bread and butter which she eats as she
walks. She lives in a half-furnished
attic, and her only sure income amounts
to 81 month. From twenty to thirty
years ago her books, Life in Washing
ton," Life at White Sulphur" Clan
ces Here and There" and Sketches of
Women of the South" had a wide sale.
and she realized much money there
from. But she lent it to a relative and
thus lost it all.

A Point in Law.

A veXed question in international
law of many years standing has just
received learned discussion from Judge
Hoffman, Of California. 1t is: Whether
a fugitive from justice brought back
upon a charge of one crime can resist
being tried on any other One view has
been that although criminals ought not
to be extradited except upon specific
charges, and ought not to be put on
trial on any other charge than one
mentioned in the proceedings, yet the
culprit had no right to object; the ques-
ton was only diplomatic one between
the two nations. When Winslow was
demanded from Great Britain by the
United States, Lord Derby, under an
act of Parliament later than the treaty,
claimed from Secretary Fish stpula-
ton that he should be tried only on the
charge named, but our administration
refused to give it, and there was long
disagreement between the two nations
over the question. In the noted case OF
Lagrave, the New York courts held that
until some law or treaty limited the
prosecution of returned offenders to the
very crime specified the courts could
not refuse to entertain any regularly
made charges Other jurists Of high
standing have thought it proper for a
court to entertain prisoners objection
that he had been brought back unfairly.
And OF this opinion is Judge Hoffman
He argues that specifying in a treaty
certain crimes as grounds OF extradition
implies that no others shall be allowed;
and, further, that the treaty is part of
the law of the land, of which the pris-
oner is personally entitled to the benefit
