OUR BAND.-The Cornet Band OF
this city is an organization which
our citizens can now listen to and
discuss with a great deal of genuine
satisfaction. As promised, notwith-
standing the bitter cold weather, the
band played several OF their new
tunes last Saturday evening, on High
St. 1t affords US much pleasure to
say, without fattery to the organ
ization, that its rendition of Home,
Sweet Home and other tunes, on
the evening mentioned, cannot be
excelled by any band of like nun
Der in Southwestern Wisconsin. The
people stood patiently, with knees
and chins shaking with the cold, and
enjoyed the harmony. So pleased
are the vocalists and musicians Of

IHE TEA-DRINK. The annual
tea-meeing at the =. NJ. church
last Monday evening was, as usual,
largely attended and highly enjoy
able. The supper was up to The
high Cornish standard Of good
things to eat. The addresses by
Reys. Hewitt, Irish, Brereton, El-
liott and VIM. Jacka, Sr, were pos
sessed of more seriousness than we
have noticed on previous years, but
were listened TO with interest The
singing by the church choir and the
large Sunday School, chorus pleased
everybody. The only criticism that
can be made on the occasion is, the
singing and speaking should have
beea begun half an hour earlier;
the people wearied in waiting for
the exercises to begin. BY the way,
this is good time to make mention
of a fixture in the r. M. church
that induces great deal Of eye
ache and headache. It's that large
chandelier; people IN the ea.t end
Of the church are punished by hay-
ing to look at the speakers stand
Mrough the tanps. Can't this be
remeaied?

Last Saturday one of our country
subscribers said to rs, "Inever come

four little children are in town with
me. Look at that bed Ate cleaul
There amt a straw left My child
ren will have nothing to SIT on going

think you printers in this town
must be afraid OF COW and horse
owners" We assured him, as we
have other farmers who have com.
planned TO Us of the same matter be-
fore, that we believed, with him,
that farmers coveyances should not
be robbed of hay and straw We
know owners of cattle and horses ia
this city say, when the question ol
shutting stock up is mentioned " A
poor man has no rights in this coun-
try" Yes, poor people have rights;
hut not the right to allow their stock
to live aud thrive at the cost aud dis
comfort of their neighbors aud pat
rous of the city This from the
Shulsburg Free Press, is right to th-
point:
"Our city fathers MUST place some
restrictions upon the running az
large Of horses, cattle and hogs, es.
pecially while farmers are IN town
with their teams The authorities
must bear in mind that the farmer
has rights that are bound to be re-
spected." Now it is very annoying
to farmer when he comes to town
with his wagon box containing straw
aud sometimes grain to fud herd
OF horses or cattle making meal OF
it, 1t is not the amount Of straw or
grain that is taken, but the empty
cold wagon box Co ride home in
We have heard several good men
complaining, aud if the authorities
would pass an ordinance compelling
owners to keep up their stock, say
from 8 o'clock a. IN to t O'Clock y
m, it would be greatly appreciated.
Let us get out of the old ruts."

Naturally, the person questioned
usually comforts our friend with a
prompt and decided answer in the neg
ative, but is met Immediately by the
perfectly crushing query:
Then why don't they pay me my
rent?''
Why, indeed? Perhaps, though. it is
that they haven't got the money.
All these lesser lights, however, pale
before MIR. Heintzlemann. They lack
the element of permanence. Their visits
are intermittent, and they soon tire.
Not so, he. Their orbits are erratic,
uncertain, cometary. He alone is dur
nal and eternal. Jurors, suitors and
witnesses come and 60; lawyers are adj
mitted, practice and depart for new
fields.of usefulness; Judges are elected,
serve and retire; but he goes on for
ever.
Poor Mr.. Heintzlemann! He will no
doubt keep on filing his documents with
the clerk, and seeking an opportunity
to argue his motion, until the day comes
when he shall present his case 10 the
highest court of last resort, and the
long-wished-for modification denied
him on earth be at last granted. Then,
perhaps. the arrested faculties shall be
set free to find exercise in a larger
sphere of benefcent activities, and
the dim and troubled years of his mental
bondage shall seem "aS when one

Enough to Make q Horse Laugh.

When a leading Republican paper
soberly declares that lone of the most
prominent and commendable features
of the Republican party is its readiness
and its determination to abolish abuses
within the party" we are necessarily
reminded of the joke that made horse
laugh. This declaration is of that
measure, for there assuredly was never
party of any influence in American
politics more VIGOROUSLY incapable Of
abolishing abuses which are calculated
to weaken its hold on the country than
this same Republican party. For some
thing more than score of years it has
ruled the country, and within that
period has developed an infinite cata-
logue of abuses, not single one of
which has the party as a party ever
sought to abolish until it was carried
unwillingly into the work of reform by
an irresistible whirlwind of public sem
timent Seek the records and not a
single trifling exception will be found
from the beginning of the catalogue to
the end. Yet that tells but half the
tale, and the best half, for the Repub-
lican party, as it Is equally true, to the
eternal humiliation of the Republican
party, that the uniform and inyariable
failure to secure adequate punishment
of those who have been guilty Of
the abuses It is claimed have
been abolished, has been due
to the active and efficient
sympathy of the highest officials of the
Government with the guilty offenders.
Let BabcOck and BelknaD and Dorsey
and Brady speak for the truth of that
charge. Who can question what would
have been their portion if there had
been any readiness and determine
tom in Grant, Garfield and Arthur to
"abolish abuses within the party?'
Where is the exception to this continued
and persistent course OF resistance to
all reform, even where public opinion
had compelled action? 1t will be sought
in vain in the records of the Credit
Mobilier, whisky-ring. Belknap and
Star-route reforms, and it would take q
powerful microscope to find to-day any
readiness or determination to carry out
the reform of the Civil Service, which
the emasculated Pendleton bill was pro-
fessedly passed to secure. There was
considerable readiness and much de-
termination exhibited in every depart
ment of the Government when the time
approached for the law to 60 into effect,
but as the whole country knows it was,
as usual, exclusively exercised to pre-
vent and not to accomplish reform. 1t
is this ineradicable characteristic that
is fast driving voters out of the Repub-
lican party, convincing them that moth
inc can be worse. and ANYTHING must
be better than the rule of a party so
unalterably ranged against all reform.

No Negotiations with the Enemy.

Before this time next year we shall
be in the heat of a Presidential contest.
The Republicans will use their best en-
deavorS in the interim to distract and
divide the Democratic party and to
strengthen themselves in this State by
retaining or capturing patronage.
Their object is to carry New York in
1884, without which the election of
their President is hopeless.
Every Republican paper rejoices over
the factional action of the Democratic
State Committee. The Roosevelt reso-
luton was in the direct interest of the
Republican party.

mors of negotiations between the County
Democracy and the Republicans to run

The Dorsey Letters

The New York Sun prints couple OF
columns of correspondence, the same
being letters which passed between
prominent Republican leaders during
! the Presidential campaign of 1880, and
which 90 to make it as plain as the
nose on mans face that Garfield and
Arthur were elected by the most wicked
| and profigate use of money and favor
itism. Several of these letters are from
Garfield to Dorsey. and they show be.
yond a shadow of doubt that the
| former was aware of the rascality that
was being attempted, and that he act
ually knew how and where much of the
corruption fund was to be spent.
There are also letters to Dorsey and
Jewell from Blaine, Allison, New, Toni
Plat, John Nj. Forbes and the good
Deacon Smith, of Ohio. Between the
lines of some of these one NAV read Of
a gigantic plot to destroy popular SOW
ereignty, and of the most outrageous,
INSCRIPTIONS and devilish schemes to
conceived. Indeed, rascality enough is
plainly written of by the authors of the
letters, written in black and white, so
that now, the letters having been made
public, people may see and judge for
themselves what manner of men have
stood at the head of this once
proud and honorable Republican party.
From one end of the country to
the other the local and State leaders
were calling upon Dorsey for money!
money! money! Only send them money
with which to buy votes and the party
of great moral ideas could be saved
from impending defeat. Even the good
Deacon Smith wrote to Mr.. Jewell: Il
now tell you that as matters are now
going on in Indiana and Ohio, we are
beaten in both States. There should be
$4,000 judiciously placed in each State
within the next ten days, and t,Oo-tsfrdS
of 1t should be reserUed for use on ekecI
ton day." This was within less than
four weeks of the October election.
John G. New wrote of the successful
efforts to induce several of the great
railway kings to influence their en-
ployes to vote the Republican ticket,
and Garfield himself wrote of IAN i'm,
portant side arrangement (the italics
being his OWN, which one of his intiA
mate friends had male, and which he
(Garield) believed would of itself make
Indiana safe for the ticket. These are
not forged letters. They are copies of
the originals, and no one directly
affected by their publication will dare
deny their genuineness. The disclosures
are sickening indeed, and if anything
more were needed to convince al
honest and patriotic man that the Re
publican party ought to 60, these letters
fill the gap. And we understand that
the end is not yet.-Bosto7s Post.

SUNLIGHT ALL THE WAY

" Goodbye, Jennie; the road is long,
ana the moor is hard to cross;
But well you know there is danger
In the boys and the marShy moss.
Be keep in the foot-path, Jennie;
Let nothing tempt you to stray;
Then you'll get safely over it.
For there's sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way;
So never you fear,
Keep good heart, dear,
For there's sunlight all the way"
The child went off with a blessing
And kiss of mOther-love;
The daisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, on in the narrow foot-path-
Nothing cOuld tempt her to stray;
90 the moor was passed at night-fall,
And shed sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way;
And she, smiling, said,
As her bed was spread:
had sunlight all the way"
And ], who followed the maiden,
kept thinking, as ] went,
Over the perilOuS moor of life
What unwary feet are bent.
If they only could keep the foot-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end of life
Ere the night could shrOud the day.
They'd have sunlight all the way.
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls On the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn to the left or right;
For if we lOiter at morning,
What shall we do when the night
Falls black on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delay?
Then steadily onward, friends, and we
Shall have sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way,
Till the journeys DER,
And we reach the shore
OF HeVer-enGing day.
