MADISON, March nth. 1884

hADiHON, hlaIcn iflu. 1881
Absence from the state last week,
was the cause of failure to furnish
usual "notes." Returning Friday it
was found that
The TRIBUNE's Prescription
for the ills of the republican party
of the Sd district had done its work
satisfactorily. On the 18th instant,
per agreement a majority Of the
two committees came together at
the Park hotel There were present
in person NJ. =. Rindlaub, G w.
Ryland, S. w. Reese, c. f. Osborn,
and w. II. Chandler, and by proxy,
A. c. Dodge ard II. S. Magoon. T.
G. Mandt, who had agreed to attend,
sent word that it was impracticable
for him to be present, but that he
could be relied upon to approve
whatever was done. Alex. Wilson,
of low i, and O. Z Bacon, of Green,
representatives of different elements,
were the only ones not "present or
accounted for"
From the first the best of feeling
prevailed, each gentleman was clear
ly actuated by desire to do the
best possible for the unity of the
party. The meeting by common
consent was called to order by Prof.
Chandler. Hon. Geo. w. Ryland
was chosen to preside, and Mr.. c.
f. Osborn to act as secretary.
Prof. Chandler suggested that
both committees present their resig.
nations to the delegates from the Sd
district present at the state conven-
ton, and request that body to name
a new committee. The proposition
not meeting with general favor from
either side, it was withdrawn.
Mr.. Osborn then offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was ac
cepted fayorably, and unanimously
adopted
RESOLVED, That Il congressional convention
for the third congressional district be called tc
meet at Dodgeyille on the Cd day of September
1884 ut - o'clock. noon, and that a call be is
sued for such convention, which shall be signed
by all members Of the two committees here
present and by the absent members, if they
will sign the same and that NJ. p. Rindnut
be and he is hereby designated as the member
of the committee to call such convention tC
order.
Suggestions that the convention
be held at Madison, Darlington
Mineral Point, Lancaster and Platte
Vile, were considered, but Dodge
! Vile being evidently most generally
acceptable, it was so determined
| In compliance with the resolution,
the following call was drawn up and

Moderate Drinking.

The moderate drinker is found in the
most intelligent and influential walks
of society. and his voice and example
o. crate most powerfully against the
warnings of the Temperance advocate
in their influence upon the masses.
When, however, men of commanding
eminence in medical science speak,
their opinions should be widely respect
ed. A letter of Sir Henry Thompson
to the Dean of canterbury on moder-
ate drinking should be read, especially
by the class above mentioned. He
says:
II have long had the conviction that
there is no greater cause of evil, moral
and physical, in this country than the
use Of alcoholic beverages. l do not
mean by this that extreme indulgence
which produces drunkenness. The ha-
bitual use of fermented liquors to an
extent far short of what is necessary to
produce that condition, and such as is
quite common in all ranks of society,
in ures the body and diminishes the
mental power to an extent which think
few people are aware of. Such. at all
events, is the result of observation dur
ing more than twenty years of profess
sional life, devoted to hospital practice,
and to private practice in every rank
above it. Thus / have no hesital
ton in attributing a very large pro-
portion of some of the most painful
and dangerous maladies which come
under my notice, as well as those which
every medical man has to treat, TO the
ordinary and daily use of fermented
drink, taken in the quantity which is
conventonally deemed moderate.
Whatever may be said in regard to its
evil influence on the mental and moral
faculties, as to the fact above stated |

authority: and l do so solely because it
appears to me duty, especially at this
moment, not to lie silent on matter of
such extreme importance. know full

A Talk to Boys.

I saw a sad boy this morning. I
don't like sad boys. They generally
die young. This hoy hadred eyes. He
looked like a little old fellow. He
seemed to think it was smart to have
red eyes for he was continually trying
to make them redder. He was smok-
ing a cigarette; this is wha' made him
look so old, and this was the way he
was trying to make himself have red
eyes and look like an old man. He
went down the street and into saloon.
He stepped up to the bar like an old
topper and simply said, Zone beer"
He drank it all at one breath, Just like
an old drunkard, and said, pm bra ed

Thinks l to myself, ''Yes, you are
braced up for becom irg an excellent
drunkard one of these days. You'll

You'll be blotehed in the face, and not
more than half grown, and when you

Several years ago, there lived in Oar.

keeper known as-well, say Uncle j ohm
He was violently opp lsed to the title Of
governor, declaring that he once knew
of gang of thieves whose password
was governor; and on many occasion
guests who thoughtlessly gave him the
title, were driven from the house. Com.
mercial travellers put up at his hotel.
Those who were acquainted with his
pecuiarities took great delight in as
surfing drummers who had never be.
fore visited the town, that by calling
the old man governor, special attention
would be paid. One day Harry Collihs,
a young drummer for New York
house, decided to visit Dardanelle.
''By all means stop with Unc3e John
Pash, " said companion. "He is the
best feeder in the country; and-say,
call him governor and he will nearly
kill himself waiting on YOU"
"When Collins arrived he was re.
ceived with welcome that was delight
full to contemplate, and during the
course of aflable conversation, Collins
remarked:
"By the way, governor, how are"
The old fellow became furious. He
had been leased several times that day
and he knew that the title was intended
to be an insult The drummer became
angry and swore that he would not
stand such abuse.
Come out here" said the old man.
Collins followed and was conducted tc
the bank of the river, not far away.
'Now," exclaimed the old man,
drawing a revolver, ''we'll settle this
thing. 1.-TWO of us came down here
Only one of us will 90 back
The drummer took out a pistol, hall
as long as his arm, and remarked:

by Collins, II reckon that under S.i4
