kind and courteous manner in which
he has been treated by almost the en-
tire press which opposed his election ;
both in the democratic and the repub-
lican party.
We have faith to believe that the
election of Mr.. Carlisle marks a new
and better era in American politics.
1t is an open and frank avowal by the
democratic party of a principle Of
faith which some trimming and time
serving members would fain have kept
back. 1t puts that party in true pos
ition before the country. 1t makes the
party in reality what it always has
been by profession, party favorin9
low tariff as opposed to a high
tariff. In pursuing this straightfor-
ward and commendable course, the
democratic members have eXempllfied
true democracy. The main argument
urged. against the party making a
stand for tariff reform was not that
the principle is wrong; but the fear
that the question is not sufficiently
understood by the masses, and that
therefore it might be the means OF
losing the next presidential election, is
considered by policy politicians as
being a sufficient reason for deferring
its consideration until a more conve-
nient season. Faith in the ability of
the people to rightly decide upon pub
lie questions when fully discussed was
the chief characteristic of the fathers
OF the democratic party. The eXempll-
fication of this faith of by the present
congress is one of the most encourag-
ing signs Of the times.

Attention is called to the Especial

Attention is called to the Especial
Notice TO Delinquent Tax Payers,
signed by the district attorney and the
county treasurer, which will be found
III this issue of The Democrat. These
officers are, in compliance with the
resolution recently adopted by the
county board of supervisors, about to
force the collection of delinquent
taxes. The practice heretofore in re-
gard to this matter has been altogether
too lax, and it right that due notice
should be given of this new departure
which involves a strict enforcement of
the laws in relation to delinquent tax
certificates, lest any property holder
should rely upon the leniency formerly
shown, and suffer loss thereby. On
account of bonded Indebtedness, and
other causes, for years past taxes have
been very high in every town in the
county, while in this city, on account
of additional bonded Indebtedness and
damages awarded by the courts, taxes
have been higher still than elsewhere
And Of course in many cases it has
been a great hardship to pay them.
But as large delinquent roll works an
additional hardship TO those who try
10 pay their taxes promptly, the action
Of the county officers in taking steps to
collect on the delinquent tax certili-
Gates now in the hands Of the county
treasurer ought TO be commended.
These certificates together with ac-
crucd interest amount to over forty
thousand dollars, or a sum equal 10
f0ur-Gfths Of the total amount of taxes
levied by the county board for the
present year 1t will be easily seen that
if this enormous amount was collected
Il great burden would be taken from
the shoulders Of those citizens who
pay their taxes year by year.

The PIattcviIle Witness Of last week
contains what we consider to be Il Just
criticism upon the action of the board
of Supervisors of Grant county in re-
gard to reporting and publishing the
proceedings of its annual meeting. The
Herald and The Teller, newspapers
short hand reporter to take down the
proceedings verbatim, and what the
Witness complains Of is that the board
should have voted to pay these report
crs eight dollars per day for five days,
and then vote the miserable pittancc
Of SlJ 70 each newspaper OF the coun-
ty for publishing Il full report of the
proceedings. While perhaps The Tel
Ter and The Herald may be entitled to
some credit for the efforts which they
put forth to give their readers full re-
port Of I'LL that was said and done,
the board had no more right to
vote the reporters pay than 1t would
have had to elect one of the members
of its august body 10 Il seat in the
United States Senate The reporters
were there to obtain report for their
respective papers, and for which pur-
pose they were secured 10y the editors
IN their zeal to Guido each other. The
proceedings when published made
twenty-five columns IT, The Teller and
the type setting alone must have cost
80 or $50. For the board to ask :
newspaper like The Witness, with !
circulation of over twenty-five hun
dred copies, to publish the report, non
sense us well as SENSE, for the sum OF
SO WAS truly Il wonderful exhibition
of check. And we wish we had the
photograph OF the member who moved
that the privilege of publishing the
proceedings he extended to the Bloom
ingtun Record, as the editor of that
paIrr was Il poor man and needed !;
little assistance as well rs the editors
of the other papers. 1t would require
only IA little assistance of this kind tt

poor house.

SPEAKER CARLISLE.

Congress met on Monday and elected
Hon. John &. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
speaker Of the house. Mr.. Carlisle
received the nomination i'll the demo
cratic caucus on the first ballot, rcceiv-
ing one hundred and sin votes, to fifty
two for Samuel J. Randall. of PennSyl-
Vania, and thirty for :. :. Cox, of New
York The selection is Il most fortu-
nate and wise one: both rs to the man
and the principles which lie represents,
In commanding ability he is the peer
of amy man IN public life to-day.
During his brilliant and useful career
hc has advocated only true democratic
principles: and while in his advocacy
of them his voice uttered no uncertain
sound. ii cannot be said that he was
ever actuated 10y the blind partisanShip
which controls and dwarfS SO many of
our leading politicians. who would
otherwise re statesmen OF no mean
proportions In the last congress he
was conspicuous for the manly posi-
ton which he took as a member of the
conference committee ON the tariff bill.
Himself free from the influence Of
selfish aud sectional interests. he
stroVr Singlc-handed in the interest of
the whole country to have some of the
worst features of the rohhcr tariff re-
pealed. His work then, SO tar rs the
CuytV-Scvcuth congress WAS concerned,
was, of course, loves labor lost,
But il made him more than ever the
acknowledged leader of the revenue
rcformers among the democratic MEM
hers of congress, And when the cleo
tions Of 1882 brought such Il sweeping
democratic victory, II MAS generality
understood that he would represent
that element rs their candidate FOR the
office Of speaker of the houSe-an Office
which is only second in Importance to
that of president
The manner in which Mr.. Carlisle
has conducted his canvass stands out
in bold relief To the methods usually
employed in such cases. In fact it was
confidently predicted by shrewd poll
ticiaus that be would be defeated, be-
cause of the simple minded, straight
forward course which he pursued all
through the fight. lie refused TO Stoop
to making bargains for chairmanshipS
of committees, and stated frankly and
boldly his positions on puolic ques-
lions. He said that if the democratic
members wished to elect him as a
representative of the principles which
he set forth, untrammelled and free
from pledges. he would gladly accept
the Office; but otherwise he did not
care for it. And in this he presented a
picture of moral grandeur quite re-
freshing, not to say surprising, in these
degenerate DAYS of party politics. 1t is
hls good fortune to not only be elected
sneaker, but to come out of the contest
presented to the American people in 4
clearer and better light than when he
entered it. He is undoubtedly mar
who will bear acquaintance; but his
friends cannot but feel grateful for the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-12-07
GIVE THE SOUTH A CHANCE

Under this heading the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin of Tuesday had
a very timely editorial article, which
will be found on our first page. The
Wisconsin thinks that unless all signs
fail another epidemic Of bloody-shirt-
ism is to afllict the country. But
we believe that the signs will fail, or
or rather that The Wisconsin does not
read them Alright. Bloody shirtism
will afllict the country no more for
ever, despite the feeble efforts of some
of the republican organs to again
haunt the ensanguined garment. Our
belief in this particular is founded
upon the fact that patriotic news
papers like The Wisconsin, although
strongly republican in their tenden-
cics, show that they care more for
country than for mere party success,
by refusing to join in the attempt to
stir up sectional strife and render
alien to each other those who ought to
be bound together by the ties of frateI-
nal affection" No, the bloody, worn
out garment will be laid aside, only To
be taken up now and then by some
demagogGe who fails to realize that an
age Of reason has daWned upon
the country and that political parties
are henccforth to be divided upon new
and living issues.

Uncertainties Of Oil Speculation.

General attention has recently been
drawn TO buying and selling petroleum
as medium for indulging in the pas
sion of gambling. There is little ex-
citement in stocks or grain, and in this
city and in New York the bucket
shops" have taken up oil certificates tho
better 10 cater to the inclinations OF
their customers. Ii there is to be a
craze for oil speculation there Is, at
least. the consoling reflection that, with
few exceptions, none will lose but foolish
men who would in any case be victim
lied. The conditions of oil produc-
ton. transportation and traffic are such
AZ to prevent the commodity from be-
ing subjected to the ordinary rules OF
commerce. The man who speculates
in oil is a prey to adverse forces which
he can neither discern nor estimate.
The listed securities of the stock ex-
changes are issued BY corporations
whose every act is open to pubic
scrutiny, but the certificates which de-
note ownership Of oil are issued by q
great combination of which nothing is
or can be known BIZ the people. II Is
always dangerous to deal with un-
known quantities. Philadelphia invest
ors were taught severe lesson with
regard to oil speculation fifteen or six
teen years ago, and it is probably not
yet forgotten. The man does not ilYa
who has made fortune by independent
speculation in petroleum and kept tt

The logic of events las done much
this fall to shake the faith of farmers
and people in general in the reliability
or accuracy of the estimates which are
annually made Of the yields of differ
ent crops by the wise persons who
collect statistics for that purpose.
! Early IN the fall. when jack frost
killed the corn throughout all the see
ton which may properly be called the
north, transforming fields of green and
growing corn into dried up and Shriv-
up his mind that the corn crop was
badly damaged and that consequently
the yield would be light this year.
This WAS his first impression, from Oh
Servation made on his own and neigh
borS' fields. And when Intercepted in
regard to the matter it was easy to see
that he did not take very rOseate
view of the situation. And it was
only when he came to town and got Il
daily paper that he received the infor-
nation that he was greatly mistaken
and that the corn crop was not greatly
damaged after all; that the statistics
received by the different bureaus went
TO show that on account Of increased
acreage and other causes the yield
would fall but very little below the
n -
favorable reports sent out that they
Were generally believed. And many u

cause lie stuck TO his first opinion. that
1t was foolish 10 expect any more than
a light yield of poor corn after such
severe frosts coming ON corn SO green
For Il time not 50 much was heard
about the corn crop. The farmer was
busy gathering in his crop. and tie
bureaus seemed to grow tired Of re-
peating over and over again the same
old story of Il yield not far below the
average. Wei, the crop is harvested,
and it is not difficult to determine

/ of corn or the "croakerS " were cor
rect. For the past month there has
been but one story To be told al every
shipping point i'll the northwest: large
numbers of poor or half-fattened hogs
being sold, ior lack of corn, the great
producer of pork. At auction sales of
farm stock plenty of shoats, or stock
hogs, are offered for sale; Nebraska
and Kansas shelled corn is being sold
at the warehouses; and if farmers are
not "croaking" about the failure of
the corn crop, many pig is squealing
on account of it, attesting to the fact
that in their predictions for the fall of
1888, the collectors of crop statistics
shot as far wide of the mark as does
the average weather prophet
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-12-07

We are Of the opinion that the
events of the next few months will
prove Il surprise to that large class of
citizens who for several years back
have been wont to characterize the
doctrine of free trade or tariff reform
as Il dead issue Those who predicted
that it would not soon enter into pol
tiles in this country were neither
prophets or Sons of prophets. Circum-
stances have SO shaped themselves fol
the past twelve months or SO that it Is
now the great live issue before the
American people whether, they like II
or not. The election OF Carlisle by the
democrats to the Speakership of the
house of representatives will elcctrlty

form. And low tariff VS.. Il higf

issue upon which the next presidential
campaign will be fought.

MADISON.

The Sanitary Engineer. Il paper pub
lished in New York, claims to have
sent special correspondent TO Mad
ison to investigate the capitol disaster,
and in is last issue contains a full ac-
count, accompanied by diagrams. and
aims to show that the accident was the
result of using poor material, together
with gross criminal careleSSneSs on
the part of the building commissioners,
architects and contractors. Until this
statement was published the building
commissioners had escaped censure !;
but now that it seems probable that no
vigorous measures will be taken to
prosecute anyone, it seems that this
wholesale condemnation by an ac-
knowledged is authority, not without
substantial foundation, as it is
strongly corroborated by the evidence.
They were all to blame, and the entire
force should be given to understand
that their services are no longer need
ed by the state.
Thanksgiving day was heartily OBJ
served in the usual manner. Most of
the students went home, and those of
the general public who could possibly
do so. took holiday, and all as usual
exhibited somewhat less enthusiasm
in praising God than in disposing of
the Indispensable turkey.
In spite of the public condemnation
of the Presbyterian church building of
this city as an unsafe place for an as
semblage of people, made 10y the Mad
ison Democrat, hich is anything but
sensational in its statements, together
with the recent capitol calamity,
would seem to deter people from at
tending services at that place; but
people continue to attend the same as
before, This is the common experience
of humanity, and rs Il result human
lives and property are often sacrificed.
The nomination of Carlisle tor
speaker we believe receives the hearty
endorsement of democrats here, and
the united action of the democratic
representatives from this state indi-
Gates that Wisconsin, democrats are
unit in favor of tariff reform.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-12-07

Nowhere in the country will the i'm
petus given to tariff reform agitation
by the election of Carlisle to the
speakcrship be more marked than right
here ~ home, in Iowa county. The
Democrat will feel encouraged tC
increased zeal in the advocacy OF
commercial freedom, which it has
always held us Il cardinal principle OF
faith: The Sun will shine out brighter
than before for free trade; and new
