w. H KEANE, Esq, County Clerk, Dear Sir
Replying to your note of the 2lst. inst l have
to say that you consulted rue prior to its pub
LEGATION as to the legality of publishing the
sale list in The Star, and informed you that
in my opinion such publication would be
legal. The opinion given by me some five
years ago. at Mr.. Gillman's request, and which
has been twice recently published in The sun,
and which concerned the legality of the pub
lication in The Arena Star. perhaps went further
than the law warranted, and was, if l recollect
rightly, given under the impression that The
Arena Star had then been neither published
for two years. nor printed at all in the county.
have no doubt that you acted conscientiously
in giving the list to The Star, and am con-
fdent that no improper motive can be attrib-
uted to yon.
yours Truly, T. SCOTT ANsLEY.
District Attorney.

In the gun OF TWO weeks ago lnere
appeared an article making charges
against w. H. Keane, our candidate
for County Clerk, which has called
out the following letters from Mr..
Keane, Mr.. Ansley, and Messrs.
]. Nj. Smith and c. W. McIlhon.
The letters explain themselves:
To THE VOTERS OF Iowa COUNTY:
The last issue of The Dodgevill
Sun contained an article which in
effect charged me with having pub
lished the tax-list for 1884 in The
Dodgeville Star knowing that its
publication was illegal. | deny the
charge, and say that before | hand
ed the list to The Dodgeville Star |
consulted the district Attorney, and
he advised me that the publication
of the list in The Dodgeville Star
would be legal. I do not pretend to
be lawyer, but l have endeavored
to discharge my official duty hon
estly and conscientiously; and in
the matter of having consulted the
District Attorney. whose duty it was
to advise me as to the legality of my
act, l took all the precaution which
any reasonable man would have
taken.
l don't think the editor of the
Dodgeville Sun is so much con-
cerned over the illegality of the
publication of the tax list as he is
over the loss of the money he would
have received had the list been
handed him for publication.

last few years. The plot is exceedingly sim
pie, the strength of the piece being the ex-
cruciatingly funny situations in which it
abounds. Mr.. Robson's Prof. Bangle is a
richly humorous and peculiarly attractive
performance, while Mr.. Crane as Judge
Jowler gives o vigorous but unctuous charac-
terization Of the gruff but kind-hearted cell
bate. These actors, though so widely differ
ent in methods. supplement each other most
admirably. Their support is far above the
average. This play is repeated tonight and
tomorrow night the Comedy of Errors"
The McCaull opera comique company from
the Casino, New York city, will follow Rob-
son aud Crane, next week, and present some
of their New York successes. The company
is strong, including Misses Catherine Lewis

of fifty voices. Two of Strauss operas, en-

lF the north had thrty'fve votes in con.

a portion of the democratic vote which was
systematically and unlawlully excluded from

fifty besides were made republican instead
of democratic by such unlawful exclusion,

The Hog Question,

We hope that congress will not trust to the
efficacy of merely introducing measures for
protecting the American hog from tho ruinous
and injurious conduct of ofhisEuropean brothers.
If his introduction has been interdcted upon
the ground of his unwholeSome condition,
and if the charge against him has been false,
there ought to be retaliatory legislation. If
we do not now know whether diseased hogs
have been exported to Germany and France,
we never shall. If they have, Let us direct
our growing at the shippers guilty Of such
conduct, and enter into peaceful nogotia-
tions with other countries for proper

been made by France and Germany not only TO
discriminate against one Of our products, but
TO lnjure its reputation in all the markets Of
the world, lot us have the spirit TO say TO
those nations: With whatsoever measure ye
meto it shall DO measured to you again"
People arc weary of the delays in tho matter.

Small Talk About n1on and Measure

Small Talk About h1cn and Measures.
There were rumors about the capitol yes
terday that Ohio might sccede f certain
event happened or did not happen The diff
ficulty arises from the fact that there are not
offices enough for all tho Ohio democrats.
The election in Ohio last fall was gratifying
to the democracy in some respects, but there
is one aspect from which the party views its
success with alarm. More democratic votes
in Ohio means just so many moro places to be
found for the voters. Tho problem with
which the Ohio delegation is now
wrestling is how to put two men
into the single office of assistant sergeant.at-
arms. About half of tho delegation demand
that Mr.. Leedom shall appoint Mr.. Isaac Hill;
the other half demand that he shall not ap-
point Mr. Isaac Hill. The opposition to that
appointment is headed by Congressman Ben
Le Fevre and r. NJ. Murray. As these two
were the principal supporters of Mr. Leedom
in his fight against John G. Thompson for
sergeant-at-arms he is naturally inclined to
favor them. They want constituent
of Mr.. Murray appointed, and as neither
Mr.. Murray nor Mr.. Le Fevre have
had the privilege Of appointing anybody thus
far, they now demand all the harder. Mr.
Leedom said yesterday that he didn't know
whether he should appoint Mr.. Hill or not.
Mr.. Geddcs is reported to have threatened,
in the event that Mr.. Leedom did not appoint
Mr.. HILL to introduce q resolution in the
house making tho Office one Of the elective
places in tho house, and taking it away from
Mr.. Leedom altogether. Mr.. Con.
verso said he didn't know anything about
1t. Mr.. Murray said he didn't believe
that one congressman ought to have two
appointments when another congressman
didn't have any. He also said that the
lobbyists would be willing to pay great
deal of money for tho privilege Of naming
man for the position. Altogether, it is q very
serious thing "The only thing for Ohio TO
do" said tho commissioner, 'is to erect hcr-
self into an independ ont principality with

bers when going to and from home TO initiate the

who had Bibles looked up the account of his ad-
