WISCONSIN.

1t viii be remembered that attention was
called some weeks ago i'll The TRIBUNE to the
fat that in the consolidation of revenue dis
tricts in Wisconsin, Collector Lottridge had
been retained in preference to Collector Harm
den, gallant solder, who served with distinc-
tom during the war, while Mr.. Lottridge was
among the stay-at-h0mes. This mistaken
action on the part Of President Arthar has
created intense Indignation in Wisconsin and
The supporters of Mr. Lottridge have enoeay-
ored to justify his action by accusing General
ilarnden OF not appointing soldiers to suber.li-
nate positions, and not even being a memb Der of
the Grand Army. In reply to these accuse
tons General Harnden published the follow

COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS.

No man who can think for himself
will ever object to the practice of
common sense in anything. BY com.
mon sense we m:al that which is
practical, and presents things in
such a way as to make them tangible.
The political issues of the day are
ever engaging the attention of our
party leaders. and it is very right
that this should be the case. But too
often the common sense view OF
things is laid aside, and instead some
blubbering, fanatical outburst of pref
udice or unnecessary enthusiasm
siezes upon them with such force that
they lose their equilibrium entirely.
We deem it very important that the
common sense view Of things should
always be taken. The Charlotte
