NE w COUNTY.

The legislature of this state has
formed new county out of territory
from Chippewa and Ashland counties.
The new county is named Sawyer, in
honor of our worthy u. S. Senator
from this state. The county is in the
northern part of Wisconsin, commonly
understood to be pine country. and
it was from the lumber products of the
pine region that our senator was started
on his way to become millionaire.

THE. LIQUOR BUSINESS.


The question Of the liquor traffic is
undergoing agitation at this time in
nearly every state in the Union. High
license, low license, prohibition and
other measures are proposed and dis
cussed. In this state petitions praying
for the enactment of some one of these
measures are being forwarded to the
legislature; the people very properly
take this legitimate method of making
known their wishes, but with little
hope OF much wholesome legislation
for the suppression or even the curtail-
ment of the business of liquor selling.
A large proportion of the Democratic
element in the legislature is averse to
restraining the liquor trade, but insist
on low licenses, so as to allow more
persons to take a chance in the bust
ness of selling. That this is the true
policy for strengthening the party no
one will deny. Prohibitionists last
fall aided to elect some of these stick
lers for cheap licenses, and the conse-
quent multiplication of groggeries.
Kenosha county is among the oldest
in the state, and should not be behind
in letting its voice be heard in the leg
islative counsels. In this county, so
far as known, there have been no pub
lie meetings held or other means en-
ployed to arrive at public sentiment as
to the legislation desired. The will of
our people should be made known to
the legislature in session, and, if that
body refuse to heed it, the people will
have done their duty.

The following well-merited compli-
ment 70 worthy Kenosha citizen we
take from letter Of the Elkhorn cor.
respondent of the Whitewater Register:
Ex-senator A. Van Wyck, of Keno
sha, was in town last Thursday, calling
on friends and renewing old acquaint-
ance. Mr.. Van Wyck is gentleman
of the old school," combining rare and
cultivated intellectual powers with the
genial courtesy of refined society that
in these pushing, rushing times is fast
becoming obsolete. 1t is a pleasure to
meet such gentleman, and his friends
hope that Mr.. Van Wyck will favor
them often with his presence.

Notwithstanding the unusual sever
ity of the past winter, farmers in the
country inform us that no losses to
any extent of cattle, sheep or other
domestic animals have been sustained
in this county. In some other portions
of the west, the reports are less favor
able. Considerable numbers of cattle,
sheep and hogs have persisted from the
extreme cold. This may in part be
owing to the fact that in the newer
portions of the western country stock
is mot as well housed and provided for
as in this section. 1t is an evidence of
a good and humane farmer where his
cattle have comfortable shelter in cold
and wintry storms. Neglect to fur
nish protection for farm stock is mex
cusable. unless through absolute in
ability. Cruelty to animals is morally
criminal. Those who have the means
for observation assure us that no
county in the state has better accom-
modations for stock in the winter
months than Kenosha county.

Moses M. Strong's manuscript his
tory of Wisconsin, a bill for the pur-
chase of which had passed the Senate,
at price of $4,000, was Unexpectedly
defeated in the Assembly by vote of
"a to 20. This is a sore disappoint-
ment to Mr.. Strong, who has done
much faithful lobbying to secure a
sale ofahis history. The bill as first
introduced contemplated paying Mr..
Strong over $4,000, but finding no
such sum would lie agreed to, the
amount was finally cut down to $4,000.
We sympathize with Mr., Strong, hay
ing known him for forty years, but
feel compelled to say the legislature
would not have been justified in pur-
chasing his work. Probably all the
important historical facts 1T contains
are found in the volumes of the State
Historical Society at Madison.

The new postal note, authorized by
a recent act of Congress, will go into
operation on the 1st of September next.
1t will prove a great convenience by
supplying the place of fractional cur
rency in sending small sums by mail.
It's chief provision is as follows:
"The note is for sums less than So.
The Postmaster at the Office issuing
the note will punch the month and
year, the number of dollars, number of
dimes, and number of cents in their
respective columns, thus preventing
any alteration of the amount or date.
BY this system the postal notes can be
issued for any sum from cent up to
e4.00. No written application is neces-
sary. The note will be bought like a
postage stamp, and will be payable to
the bearer at any time within three
months of the last day of the month of
issue. The body of the note is a form
stating the Office at which it was issued
and the Office to which it was sent"

New YORK, Aug. 3-The followingis taken
from an article in the London Times of July
%, on the strike of the biographies ga
kind of high treason Is committed by tele-
graph clerks, as by engine drivers or gas
stokers or policemen, when they take advan-
tage of the extreme dependence of the pub
lie upon them to put the pressure upon
their employers by suddenly quitting
their desks At first it seemed that the
American telegraph operators had proper
sense of this point of honor. They were
within their right in asking better terms of
the Western Union company if they believed
the company could afford to yield better
terms They kept faith with the public by
attending to their wires They had permi t.
ted 1T to be understood that they meant to
leave the public as we'll as the company am
pie time to take warning. In changing its
policy and ordering several thousands of men
to abandon their function the Brotherhood has
made an irretrievable mistake. Already the
Western Union company has shown
its possession OF resources sufficient to
enable it to withstand requisition it holds
to be exorbitant. Tie one chance for the
operators was that the public, which is
naturally sympathetic toward their class,
would have thrown the moral weight of its
good will into their scale. But the public is
selfish in such cases. 1t cannot afford to let
its servants fight battles on their own account
az the cost of excessive inconvenience to
itself. When its officials, whoever they may
be, desert their posts, its one predominant
wish is that their places may be filled up as
speedily as possible with more loyal sue
cessors, and the deserters be forgotten.
