Willy woodmen.


The Wisconsin woodman must be
credited with being keener person
than he has been regarded heretofore.
Recently the State advertised tract Of
wilderness to be sold at auction. and il
became known that the Gland sharks"
were laying schemes to buy 1t in cheap.
A few days before the sale ten or twelve
backwoodsmen appeared in town with
long minutes Of the value OF the lands
offered, the wood on them, etc. Being
asked what their object was. they said
TO buy in. Here WINS dilemma for the
Gland sharks ks"--thsse wocdsmen would
run the price up to its real va.ae. 30
the land agents offered sum of money
for the minutes, and, to their surprise,
the offer was readily accepted. After
they bought the land they found they
had been duped, for the minutes were

mount. No man will be able TO ignore it,
and it may not be easy to bring majority
to one opinion ON this point It would be
better to take time enough to do that wisely
than to do it promptly and do it foolishly.
Probably more mistakes have been made by
hurry in doing convention work than by de-
liberation The Chicago convention may
finish its work in three days but the chances
are that 1t will not Nobody will complain
OF the time taken if the work accomplished
is generally satisfactory.
30 far as the Republican party of this State
is concerned there is no question of its
choice, and the delegates who have been
elected to attend the National convention
will unquestionably represent that sentiment
with fidelity and enthusiasm. They will
have strong support from many sections,
and their favorite leader, is likely to receive
more votes in the beginning than any other,
which is position OF great advantage.
Whatever can be done by ardent devotion to
overcome doubt of his availability will be
done. If another is selected to lead the Re-
publican host there will be genuine disap-
pointment in this State; but if that result is
fairly reached the Republicans of Maine will
accept it, and do their whole duty in the con-
test. They have been disappointed before;
but they have not renowned their allegiance
to the cause. No Maine Republican will
do the party of this State the injustice of in
timating that any Democratic candidate for
the Presidency could carry the State against
any Republican candidate.

The Coming Convention,

Although the Republican National Con-
vention does not meet until the Sd of June
ia general session, it will be in informal SEES
sion for two or three days preceding that
date, with most of the delegates present.
During all next week delegates who think
that they can learn something, or that
they can do something, will be struggling in
to Chicago, and by Sunday week large
body not only of delegates but of representa-
tive politicians of the party will be on the
spot and the work o. conference and of con-
version will begin in earnest.
The effect of this work will not appear at
once, but what is done between Sunday
morning and the meeting of the convention
on Tuesday will be influential all the same.
1t is hardly probable that a ballot will be
reached before Thursday, and on the first
ballot the delegates may be expected TO re-
cord their preferences, or the preferences of
those who sent them, even if they are per-
suaded that such a nomination would not
be wise. What will happen after the first
ballot cannot be predicted now with any
degree OF certainty. Things may get into
such shape before that ballot that the well
Informed and sagacious will know what is
likely to happen next, or there may be a
prolonged contest in convention while those
who are in doubt are determining upon
their course. Every national convention
has its own peculiar conditions and works
out its results by it own peculiar processes.
Everybody whose judgment is worth con-
sidering regards the work of the convention
this year as uncommonly serious business.
1t is not to be walk-oveI but hard strug-
gle. The party is not now of one mind and
the necessity of doing that which will tend
to unite most cordially all who are on gener-
al principles favorably disposed to the sue
cess of the Republican organization is para

Mr.. Holman, the great objector, has been
renominated. We have never been able to
regard Mr.. Holman as Congressman to be
praised without reservation; but we observe
that Mr.. Blaine in his book treats him
with distinguished consideration. In the
fifteenth chapter of ''Twenty years in Con
gress,' in which the group of remarkable
men who sat in the Thirty-seventh Congress
is described with much care, Mr. Blaine
speaking of the Indiana delegation says
son the Democratic side, VIM. S. Holman
already ranked as an old member. His eff
forts were steadily and persistently directed
to the enforcement of public economy; and
though he may have sometimes been unrea-
sonable, and though he was often accused
of acting tie part of a demagogue, the coun-
try owes him debt of gratitude for the in
tegrity, intelligence and simplicity with
which he has illustrated most honorable
career as representative of the people,

The Senate. as we have already said, has
retrieved the Indian appropriation bill from
the disgraceful condition in which it was
sent to it from the House with regard to
Indian education; but it is not yet out of
danger. The conference committee, If one
is appointed, will under the rules and Gus
toms prevailing in Congress be made up of
the enemies of Indian education. If the
House would consider the Senate amend
ments instead of sending the bill to con-
ference committee, there would be more
hope of saving what is good. 1t is but fair
to say that two Republican Senators, Plumb
and ingalls, of Kansas, are among the bitter
est opponents of Indian education. Their
speeches in the Senate were SO obviously un-
reasonable that they rather helped than
hiDdered the purpose to continue the great
work that is begun.

Some of the Washington correspondents
have suggested a suspicion that the barrel of
the elder English was the potent persuader
which changed the majority against giving
his boy the seat to which Mr.. Peelle was
elected into majority in his favor. The
only fact we have observed tending to such
a suspicion is that Calamity" Weller of
Iowa who voted for Peelle the first day was
missing without being paired on the other
ballots. No Democrats changed their votes.
More Democratic than Republican absentees
were drummed up during the night and
Peelle was unseated on larger vote than
that of the preceding day. English may
have used heaps of money; but is not neces-
sary to seek any other reason for this wrong
than Democratic indifference to right
wherever partisanship needs sacrifice of
justice and honor. The majority of this
Congress does not have to be bribed to do
mean thing.

What shall we bring today
To the graves of our soldier dead?
IT'S little enough to lay
The sweetest blossoms of May
On each quiet, turfy bed.
IT'S little enough to weep
Though our tears drop down like rain,
They will never stir the sleep
Of those who died to keep
Our flag without stain.
For that flag and for us they fell,
Summoned by Truth and Right;
For the land they loved so well,
In battle or prison cell,
They stood on the martyrs height.
Bring violet-wreaths If we will,
Bring tears we must and we may;
But the power our souls shall fill
With holier offerings still
To honor our dead today.
Wherever pure heart gives
Itself unto Truths behest,
Wherever a true man lives,
Who for Right and for Duty strives,
There are they praised the bestl
AS long as freedom shall reign,
So long shall their names endure;
While our Unions flag remains
AS they left it, without stain,
Our reverence is sure!
o men of our mother land!
Guard her faith, held SO nobly beforei
Be pure, as that faith commands;
You hold her fate in your hands;
Be brave, as the brave Of yore!

Ferdinand Wards counsel announced
some time ago that If their client was ar

of insanity. They are likely pretty soon to
have an opportunity of testing the merits of
that defence. To the ordinary observer it

much method in Mr.. Wards madness 10

The Republican convention in this dis
trict will be held in Portland next Wednes
day. So far as known not delegate has
been chosen who is not in favor of the
reelection of Mr.. Reed. There may be
some variation from this unanimity before
the end; but Mr.. Reeds service has been SO
true, so able and so distinguished that there
is practically but one opinion in the party
as to what ought to be, not more in justice
to him than in justice to ourselves and the
Republican cause.

Mr.. Hewitt has finally been convinced of
what nearly everybody was convinced
long ago, that his tariff bill has no chance
of hearing, with the exception possibly of
that portion of it which corrects the admit
ted errors of the present law. The Demo-
Gratis having already demonstrated their ina
bility to pass any bill relating to this
subject, it was hardly conceivable that they
would be foolish enough to seek an oppor-
tunity to make second demonstration of
the same discreditable fact. When the De-
mocracy get into convention at Chicago there
may be another fight over the tariff, but
there are to be no more at the present SEES

The most enthusiastic Tilden men at the
meeting of the New York Democratic State
committee were the Tammany members.
Their admiration for the sage was expressed
in extravagant phrases, and the stories of his
physical incapacity were secuted. "Why,"
said1one of them, ''the last time saw him he
was holding horse as firmly as you or 1
could, his eyes were shining with animation,
and never saw him look SO we'll" There
are two explanations of this sudden fondness
for Tilden on the part of Tammany; one is
that the head of the barrel has been knocked
in, and the other that Tammany is afraid of
Cleveland. Both explanations are good ones.
