Capitals VS.. SamOsets.

Thanksgiving night the Capital polo club
of this city, played very hotly contested
game of polo with the "Samosets", at the
Casino rink, Richmond, in which the former
club was victorious, securing three goals to
the Richmond boys one. The Capitals were
very much pleased with their entertainment
at the Casino, which is under the management
of Mr.. j. l.. Pushard. he doing all in his
power to make the Augusta boys enjoy them
selves. The Casino Company furnish their
club with uniforms, which every rink ought
to do. for the simple reason that polo game
is well patronized, and brings a considerable
amount of money into rink. The Samosets
are gentlemanly set of fellows, and also
smart club, defeating the Mascots of Gardi-
ner, who defeated the Capitals recently The
Casino is built after the model of the rink in

The game of polo at the Capital rink
Thursday evening was not between the Gran
tie Citys and Lewiston team as advertised
The latter was unable to attend, and so the
Granite Citys and Independents, both Halo
we'll clubs, had friendly game The first
goal was won handsomely by the Granite
Citys in less than a minute. They got the
ball in the rear Of their opponents goal, when
one Of the team by dextrous movement
sent the ball between the sticks, where an
other man stood ready and returned it The
second goal was contested at some length
but was won by the Granite Citys. The
Independents, after a hard fought battle sue
ceeded in carrying off the third. The fourth
goal was fizzle. Two fouls had been de-
clared and third was claimed by the Granite
Citys, which as nearly as can be ascertained,
was not allowed by the referee This was the
signal for dispute, and the Granite Citys
left the floor. The Independents made very
good showing, considering the club they had
to contend with. Elmer Weeks of the indie
pendents got the rush the first TWO goals, and
Day OF the Granite Citys the third. Will

By all means let US have an investigation OF the

OF the recent district republican convention Itcan
scarcely be credible that the very gentlemen who
have insisted most strenuousy on suffrage and

practices which are fatal to the value and dignity
OF suffrage. 1t cannot be that those who have
been loudest In denounciny the Commissioner
government as corrupt have been themselves so
false and base as 70 give and take brides This
cannot be, and the suragis strikers ought to have
chance to indicate themselves from the charges

He has for years been an active
factor in the political affairs of his
county and district In politics as
in business, he is energetic and ag-
gressive. He is naturally partisan;
he could not be neutral In sup
port of his party or his friend he
.shuns no labor, and recks not the
blows that fall upon himself. He
has of course attracted ardent
friends, and aroused sharp antagon-
isms; but with the occasion ends
his feeling. He has had gratifying
successes and sore defeats in the
political arena, but has always been
a Republican and valiant worker
for the representatives Of his princi-
Piles, whether personally agreeable to
him or not
Such is the Republican nominee
for the important Office of state SEN
ator. If elected he may be depend
ed upon to discharge the duties of
the Office faithfully and well. He
should have the vote of every Re
publican who desires that the prin-
ciples of his party shall be main
tanned in the state and in the nation.
Let no Republican be persuaded to
vote for either of Mr.. James COM
petitors-George Crawford and John
Leon the ground of personal
compliment. There is danger in
such compliments this year, owing
to the Prohibition complication.
Those who desire that Democrats
should represent Wisconsin in the
U. 5. senate for the next six years,
instead of Republicans, should vote
for Crawford or Lee. Those who
do not so desire should vote for

Political BedfeHowS.

AS they grow warmer in the polit-
ical canvass, the Democratic and
Prohibition party managers are los.
ing caution. At first they were very
careful to conceal their feelings OF
affinity, but lately they so openly
aaj freely give aid and comfort to
each other, that only the most per.
yersely blind partisan can fail to see
that they are allies, offensive and
defensive. Everywhere Democrats
contribute toward paying hall rents,
hiring bands, and other incidental
expenses of Prohibition meetings,
and on all occasions prohibition speak
ers are careful to say nothing derog-
atory Of the Democratic candidates,
while numerically berating Repub-
licans, even at the expense of truth.
Mr. OIin openly and freely asserts
that he prefers the election of Cleve-
land to Blaine, of Jones to La Fol-
ette, and of the Democratic to the
Republican nominees generally.
From which facts, how can reason
able men fail to deduce that the in
dependent Prohibition party move
ment is not prosecuted more for the
purpose of aiding Democracy than
advancing the cause of temperance?
The most efficient and honored la
borors for the case of temperance in
Wisconsin so view it, and hence are
found in opposition to it. Among
these are found VIM. T. Price, Jack
Watrous, 5. S. lockwood, E. ID.

No State Tax for 1884.

In the advance sheets of the report
Of Secretary of State Timme is to be
found the following paragraph Of
interest to the taxpayers of Wiscon-
sin: "Chapter 1876, laws of 1888, au-
thorizes the levying of $4,000 as a
state tax for 1884, in addition to
taxes required to be raised by sec
tons 26O,247 and 800, Revised stat
utes, and chapter 800 of 1888. With
the amount now in the state treasury,
together with the increased reve-
nues from licenses paid by railway,
insurance, telegraph and telephone
companies, with minor sums receiv-
ed from other sources, which viii be
amply sufficient to defray the eX.
penses of the state for the ensuing
year, | have concluded to make no
apportionment of the $4,000 to
the various county clerks, believing
that in so doing the interest of the
taxpayers will be best subserved;
that it is contrary to good policy to
levy tax to be idle in the vaults Of
the state treasury" BY the wise
and honest administration of public
affairs and the increased revenue
derived under the present Republi-
can regime the special tax is rend-
cred unnecessary, the saving to
the several counties will be as fol-

Bearing False Witness.

1t seems especially wrong that
those claiming to champion purely
moral cause, should seek to advance
it by abusing the opposing coun-
sell" And when gross misrepresen'
tation is employed, the conclusion
must be, either that the cause so
sought to be advanced is bad, or
that its advocate is unworthy or in
efficient. Mr.. John NJ. DIN, Prohi-
bition candidate for congress in this
district, who admits that he has no
hope of election, and only expects
and desires that the effect of his
candidacy may be the defeat Of the

comfort of the poor man and his
family the tariff may be reduced,
and the price thereby lowered, then
reduce the tariff as much as possible
on those articles, taking care only
that some other poor man and his
family are not correspondingly IN
jured by the destruction of some
mandatory or the suspension of
some enterprise upon the continuance
of which he depends for employ
ment.
Republicans do not deny that
there may be articles on which the
import duty is 20 per cent too high
indeed we doubt not a reduction
greater than that might be made
from some things to advantage.
But to make a uniform reduction of
any amount and call it a revision Of
the tariff laws is an entirely differ
ent proposition. If man has
carbuncle on his nose with
half an inch protrusion, a few
pimples on his cheek scarcely dis
cernible, and the remainder Of his
body being sound, and doctor
should propose cutting the man
down half an inch all around in or
der to cure the carbuncle on his
nose, it would be about as sensible
as the proposition of Doctors Morri-
son, Jones, et al. to cure the imper-
fections of the tariff law by reducing
all import duties 20 per cent.

of a Democrat, is reported to be
striving to prejudice temperance Re-
publicans against La Toilette by
statements calculated to leave the
impression that he is sort of saloon
hummer. The State Journal is in
formed that Mr.. Olin refers to La
Follette's vigorous and effective
prosecution of the Madison saloon
keepers for violations of Law, as
"farcical, because the prosecuting Of
ficer would afterwards drink freely
himself" While in this city, we
are informed, Mr.. DIN made similar
remarks. 1t is even reported tina t
Mr.. o. said that after prosecuting
the saloon-keepers Mr.. La Toilette
was in the habit of going to their
places of business and getting drunk.
Doubtless this is different language
from what he used, but certainly he
said something that has been con-
strued to mean just that by those
who heard him, for such is the story
as now circulated. Whether Mr..
Olin says that Mr. La Toilette "free-
ly drinks" or "gets drunk" the eff
feet is the same. TO say that man
''freely drinks" is to imply that he
"gets drunk" and to lie by implica-
ton is meaner than to lie directly,
because it is the more cowardly way
of bearing false witness.
Every saloonist in Madison will
vote and work against Mr.. La Fol-
lette, with special view to punish
ing him for having so fearlessly and
effectively done his duty as district
attorney IN prosecuting them for
violations of the law, on complaints
lodged by the Law and Order
League, of which Mr.. Olin is an &C.
tive member Mr.. La Toilette is
not sworn to total abstinence, but is
a man of perfectly temperate habits.
We doubt if he ever drank drop
of liquor in his life, except for its
medicinal effects. Mr.. Olin dares
not assert that Mr.. In Toilette
was ever intoxicated, or that he is
not a man of strictly temperate hab-
its. If he should make a tangible
charge, instead of employing inuen-
do, he might be called to account in
the courts. He is too much of a
lawyer not to be able to accomplish
a SANDER, while yet avoiding legal
responsibility as a slanderer.
