These two selfish motives have in
| spired their conduct all the way
through, and they will probably con.
troll them to the end
This display of bigoted partisan
ship would be less TO be regretted If
The dilatory action of Congress did
not seriously affect the business in
terests Of the country, and lead to
bankruptcy and general depression.
The dullness Of trade and the lack
Of energy and activity in all branches
of industry have been the natural
result If the uncertainty that has
been universally felt IN regard to the
final legislation upon this subject.
Perhaps the manufacturers have fe
this uneasiness most Of all; but ask
any intelligent merchant about the
state of trade, and he will answer
that business is dull. II is dull, not
withstauding the crops Of last sea
son were enormously in excess of
the year before, and there has been
no disturbance of the country's
finances to unsettle prices. Whole
sale dealers, importers and manu-
facturers, who are deeply interested
in the passage of a tariff bill, natur-
ally call halt while this Congress
sional tinkering is going on, and
such is the reciprocity of trade that
all the other branches of traffic aud
industry are also more or less affect
ed unfayorably.
The Democratic party will find,
and the country will fud, that the
business welfare and our general
prosperity cannot be subordinated
to the ends and aims of the narrow
minded politicians with impunity,
and that the temporary success of a
party in Congress or out of it may
be won at too great cost. When
Il great political party sinks to that
debasement that it seeks its own
success by sacrificing the public well
fare, it is on the broad road to ruin.
The Democrats in the House have
one more opportunity to redeem
themselves from the reproach that
their mulish course has east upon
them, and that is to lend their aid in
passing the Tariff bill that has
already passed the Senate. If they
will do that, even under the compul.
sion of public sentiment, the coun-
try will feel clined to credit them
with one spasm of patriotism that
has lifted them above their usual
zero of narrow, blind and unr, ason-
ing parti,anship.- Chicago Josraal.

portable electric lighter, patented in
1879 and again In 1882, Is now before

happiness. Surprise, because it is
evident how great a progress we
have made in the science of electric

PartisanshiP and Patriotism.

The debate that has been going
on in Congress for the last mon til
on the tariff question has revealed
the deplorable fact that the Demo
cratic party has been actuated by a
feeling of parllsanship rather than
patriotism. This has been patent to
every ob-erying person who has
closely watched the proceedings;
and if no such bill is passed At this
session as the necessities of the
country require, il will be clearly
and mauifestly he fault of the Bour-
bon obstructionistS. This utter in
difference to the general welfare has
been more noticeable iu the House
than in the Senate. The latter has
finally worried through compro-
mise tariff bill that is as fair as any
that eou d be passed under the cir
cumstances, and that, too, with the
aid Of ten Democratic 20 es. Ii now
remains 70 be seen whether the Dem
ocrats in the House will allow the
bill TO become a law, or whether
their partisanship will triumph over
their patriotism by defeating it. as
they have already defeated the Kel
ley bill, which was reported by the
Ways and Means Committee.
When we look about for the reason
of this stubb m conduct on the part
Of the Democrats in Congress, We
find that they have not been aetuated
by desire to promote the general
welfare. la the first place, they do
not want the Republicans to have
the credit Of reducing the internal
revenue taxes, nor Of having revised
the tariff schedule, and in the see
ond place. they hope, by stavlng the
whole question off until the next
,o>,i u, when they VIII have large
maiorlt, in the House, that they will
be able u pass 4 Tariff bill which

western Wisconsin will turn out en-
naSse to hear Prof. Henry and
Clinton Babbitt, at Mineral Point,
on March 9th. These gentlemen
will have something instructive and
interesting for all who attend the
meetings They, ike too many
others of our State, do not fully
realize that the southwest is the
garden Of Wisconsin. The fact
that Iowa County took first premium
on amber cane syrup, in competition
with over one hundred samples, at
a meeting recently held here, has
already had an effect to call atten-
ton to our loca ity, as this proposed
meeting demonstrates.
A majority of all the practicing
attorneys Of the State, irrespective
Of political affiliations, having sign
ed call for Judge w. p Lyon, to
become a candidate for reelection to
the position Of Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, it is probable he
will have no competitor. The cleo
ton occures in April next, before
which we shall refer to the matter
more fully.
There is no expectation that any
temperance legislation will be seri-
ously considered this Winter. The
Republicans in the Legislature are
generally favorable to raising the
license fees to double the present
rate, while Democrats would rather
reduce licenses one half. No change
in the law is likely to be made. Pro
hibition is not discussed in the Leg
islature at all The prohibitionists
having seen fit to organize as an in
dependent political party, neither of
the old parties feel under any obi.
CATION TO them, and the submission
of a prohibitory amendment can
only be hoped for when the prohi-
bition party shall be strong enough
to elect majority of the legislature,
independent of, and without aid
from any other political party-a
time so far in the dim future that
few now living may hope to see it,
A cloud of sadness has been cast

senger called and took the eldest
daughter, a beautiful and accom-.

The disease was diphtheria of a ma

A petition asking the Attorney
General of the United States to
dismiss the suit against Col.Thomas

ed here. The petition represents
Col. Reynolds advanced age--G9
years-his gallant service as sol
dier, and his wounds received in
defense of the Union, as grounds
for clemency All loss sustained by
the government through his alleged
frauds, are guaranteed to be made
up, if criminal prosecution is aban
doned. The petition is generally
regarded as an admission Of the
Colonel's guilt, and a plea for mercy.

THE Texas papers claim that the
profits on cattle-raising in that State
have averaged 100 per cent. in the
past five years, while in some cases
they have reached 500 per cent
The profit for the first year is nom
inal, the second year it averages 10
per cent, the third year 30 per cent,
the fourth year so per cent and the
fifth year 10 per cent. The average
loss by disease and casualty during
the same period has been 10 per

extension Of the railroad system of
Texas is expected 10 increase the
profits Of the business, as it does

and how they figure, for instance, on

duty laid upon the value. Take the

A NOCTURNAL VISIT
To the Home OF Miss Lyon, at
KerrVille, aud its Result.

In the lone watches of the hour last
night reporter Of the LEDGER honored
himself by paying visit to Miss Ligon
at her step-iather's residence in Kerrville,
away out somewhere along the line of the
Chesapeake and Ohie road. II was an
hour or more after the witching time of
midnight when the man Of notes arrived
at that interesting locality, made glorious
by leaves Of variagated hue and hoOting
owls. II required many moments to
rouse one Of the inhabitants Of the
burg and induce him to
give the LEDGER man a steer 10 Mr.,
LigOn's residence. Once there, an effort
to sec Miss Lyon was made, but without
avail. as Miss Lyon was i'll and was not
receiving visitors Just then; so the LEDGER
man was compelled 10 lay aside his dress
suit and accept the most hospitable inyi-
tatiOn of Mr.. Lyon to recline his weary
head on a pillow in an adjoining room.
This morning the reporter was up and
about as soon as the chanticleer began to
scratch around for angle rooms,
and later on Mis- Lyon was
oorralled In the dining room
in the act Of brewing a pot Of coffee for
the newsgatherer. In the long CONVERSE
ton that followed Miss Lyon reite ated
her former statements, which it is not nee
essary to repeat, as nothing absolutely
new was develo, ell. A leading question
was put to the young lady relative to the
extent in which certain third party fig
ured in the unfortunate transaction, but
silence followed the interrogation, and the
questioned party beat hasty retreat TO
the precincts of her own boudoir.
