1t is with pleasure that We call the
attention of the readers of The Dem
ocrat to our well-flled columns of
home advertisements. 1t is a self
evident truth that it pays to advertise
in The Democrat, which is read each
week by over five thousand persons.
Last week we added to our list twenty
five names of as good men as can be
found in Iowa county. The paper is
not forced upon any one, but is sent
only to those who subscribe and pa.
for it-just the kind of men adver-
Users desire to reach. Our list of sub
scribers is steadily, increasing and
consequently our advertising space is
becoming more valuable. 1t is graft
flying fact to us, and blessing to our
readers, that in order to fill our col
umns we are not compelled to publish
quaCk or other foreign advertisements
at low rates. Although our space for
reading matter is somewhat limited at
present it will soon be increased, and
we will continue to give our patrons a
good, healthy local newspaper, making
it the best paper published for Iowa
county readers, and an excellent me-
dunn through which the business men
of the county can address the public.

The address issued by the free
traders recently assembled at Detroit
closes as follows
1--WE do not counsel the immediate
formation of new party, though we
recognize that many republicans and
democrats are looslng faith in their
own parties and desire to unite polit-
ically for genuine revenue reform. and
in their candidates or designating
their leaders III congress, persistently
oppose and evade reform. We advise
revenue reformers to prepare for indie
pendent political action. Meanwhile
we call upon those who think with us to
make it practical at the polls by ques-
tioning the candidates for congress.
This address is issued in behalf of
| freedom, the most precious result of
political action, and in behalf of pros
| perity. whose broad and only lasting
basis is found in perfect freedom and
human activity, bounded only by
! equal privileges of all men.

THE DEMOCRAT.
Mineral Point, Friday, Iune IS, 1888.

EDITORS AND PRoPRIEToRs.

QUERY: Why is it the city of Miner
al Point can think of affordiug in
provements to the public square, when
the children of the city are taught. some
in rooms on level with the cellars
and nearly all in unyenti lated rooms
and the reason given for this is, the
city cannot afford to furnish yentila-
ton QUERIsT.
We publish the above query which
has beeu handed US, not to hinder
the contemplated improv ements to
the public square. but to call the at
tention Of the common council, and
our citizen generally to the fact that
our public school buildings are very
badly in need of improvements. We
| would like to see some work done on
| the public square, with view to
ultimately fitting it up for a park,
but we think that it is a matter Of
| minor importance when compared with
the want of better Accommodations for
the school children. During vacation
last year the school board petitioned
the council for improved means of
ventilation and more modern heating
apparatus. But the time of vacation
was let go by without anything being
done in regard to the petition, and its
consideration was put off for a
more convenient season. We would
like to see the matter preached at the
next meeting of the council, so that
the kinds of improvements needed
could be decided upon, and work COM
menced before the time arrives for
the commencement OF the fall term
of school. The fact that the school
buildings Of the city are without
proper means of ventilation and that
the manner of heating is old fashioned
announcement and expensive is appar-
ent to anybody who takes the pains
to examine them; but it is most strik-
ing to those who have examined the
modern school buildings and apparatus
to be found in Dodgeville, Linden,
Cobb, Highland and other towns in
the county, Let the people take hold
of this matter with the same good
spirit which they have taken hold of
other public enterprises of late, and
we will soon have school room acco-
modations which will be a credit to
Mineral Point.

That Box of Varnish.

Our friend, Col. J. H. Hughes, does
not often make mistakes, but last week
he was little unfortunate. Mr.. j.
w. FRANKIE, his son-in-law, wrote him
from Atlanta, stating that he had ship
ped him some fine varnishes. When
the box arrived it was marked "hne
varnishes. OF course Col. Hughes
thought the box contained varnishes,
and not being particularly interested in
varnishes at that time, sent the box
around to our drug store to be opened
and examined. When we opened the
box instead of fine varnishes" We
found it well filed with fine tropical
fruits. 1t was too good keep, SC We
had to tell the Colonel and made Il lib
eral divide with him. We must, how
ever, thank Mr.. and Mrs. F. for our
share of the contents. When you have
more "varnishes" Colonel, send around
We will handle the next for smaller
commission.

The club met Thursday evening at

There was a large attendance and the
meeting was one of the most pleasant
and interesting the club has ever held.
The refreshments were abundant, well
prepared, well served, and most hearth
ly enjoyed by all present. Each meet
ing of the Club seems to increase in
interest and enjoyment. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith richly merit the highest com
mendation for their most elegant and
hospitable entertainment given the
Club on this occasion. AS we are just
going to press, we have not space for
extended notice, and so leave the sub
ject to the Secretary to report for our
next issue.
The next meeting of the Club was
appointed to be held at the residence Of

The Woman's Board have accepted
the application of Mrs. A. M. brennan,
of Missouri, to engage in the Missionary
work in Japan. This will no doubt be
cheering to many hearts, to know that
so noble a woman, one so well fitted to
labor in so important field, is to rep
resent the women of our Church in
Japan. 1t will no doubt be "good
news" to the missionaries already in the
field, and who have been so anxious
for more help to enable them to prose-
