Gravel Road Meeting,

A meeting of the subscribers 10 the Ottawa
ihd Vermilion Gravel Road fund was held al
tne supervisors room, Ottawa, on Tuesday
lsst in response 10 a call by the committee
ssyinc the work in charge. Only few Of
The subscribers responded 10 the call, but
enough came Ia make an interesting session.
PC. Watts called the meeting TO order and
secretary.
The first thing in order wa the report OF
secretary Boulder, The report WAS in verbal
form, but he first read the contract entered
into between the committee and Z. c. Lewis
IN july, 1851, by the terms Of which Mr. Lewis
agreed for the sum Of $500, to gravel Ger.
tsu amount of road Mr. Bender then read
the items Of expenditure showing the total
amount paid for all purposes to be S5O2oS,
this including the cash payments TO Mr. Lew
is of his 81, 800 and $40 for another piece of
work which had been contracted for by the
same gentleman. The books of the secretary
further showed that several subscribers were
delinquent in the payment of their subecrip-
tons, the amount Of such dclinqencies being
1928
A queer state Of affairs, however, seemed to
,xist between Mr. Lewis and some Of these
l.lnquents. The latter, supposing they were
working out their subscriptions, had worked
for the contractor to the extent Of their sever
a. amounts subscribed, but for which no cred.
s. appears Just how much work o! this Kind
Las been done is not fully known. Mr., Lewis
himself Acknowledges TO the secretary in a
letter that some $50 had been worked by these
raen, (Which should be charged to me-" he
says Now neither the secretary nor the
committee were willing 10 assume this debt
10 The men, as the contractor had been paid
- f,iH for all the work done, and the two or
flrec irate subscribers of this class who were
present were politely but firmly told that
Vhat they did for Mr.. Lewis must be collect
"a from him and that the committee would
hold them responsible for the full amount of
,hcir subscriptions.
A motion was carried directing the officers

FIRST DISTRICT.

The GAINESVILLE correspondent of the
Milwaukee Telegraph furnishes the fol-
lowing gossip on congressional matters in
this district:
There is no longer doubt that there
will be sharp contest for the republican
nomination TO congress in this district.
Every county in the district will have a
candidate, though the county of Rock
has not yet made public the name of its
favorite son. Jefferson will present Hon.
L. B. Caswell, of Fort Atkinson, who,
for many good reasons should be nomi-
mated without opposition, and the chief
one is that the state never had more
faithful servant in congress than he was
there. Walworth county, as it looks
now, will present the name of Hon. T,
d. Weeks, brilliant lawyer, man
who has ably and faithfully served in
both branches of the state legislature,
and who has all of the qualifications
needed to make a good representative.
The Elkhorn Independent and the
Whitewater Register have spoken in his
favor. In Racine county there is one
candidate with a prospect of two. Hon.
}. V. Quarles, man of good parts, would
like the nomination, but will not enter
into scramble for it. In the same
county there is a rising politician who
has been talked about not little for
congressional honors. Some of his friends,
notably those in and about Burlington,
his old home, are anxious to press the
name of I'll. A. Cooper, the district
attorney, an orator of note and man of
brains. He is delegate to the repub-
lican national convention. IF he is not
brought forward this year it is only a
question OF time when he will be pushed
for a congressional nomination. In
Kenosha county there are two men who
are not out Of danger. | refer to Mayor
Simmons and COL James Ell. Howe.
There may be complications which will
render it desirable to take up one or the
other of these gentlemen, though it is
known that Colonel Howe's friends have
their eyes upon him for the United
States senate Were / to be called upon
to predict who will be the nominee
should say L. B. Caswell. He has no
enemies in the district, and it would be
easier to concentrate upon him than any
other man who has yet come to the
surface, In case no one enters the con-
vention with majority of the votes. It
Is agreed all around that whoever is nom
mated by the republicans will be elected
this year.

The New York Republican Legisla-
ture of 1882 fixed the state tax levy at
225 mills on the dollar. The Democratic
Legislature of 1882 raised this rate to
1926 mills on the dollar The late Re-
publican reform Legislature again re-
duced the sum to 2.23 mills on the dol
lar. To illustrate clearly the contrast
between Republican and Democratic
rates Of taxation, the sum in dollars and
cents levied on a taxpayer should be
stated thus:
In 1882 (Rep), amount of tax--$24 so
In 1883 (Dem), amount Of tax % so
In 1884 (Rep), amount of tax % 80
Republican taxation shows a steady
decrease in the rate and in the amount.
Democratic taxation shows steady in
crease in both.

THE Democrats believe that no more
money should be collected either directly
or indirectly by taxation than is neces-
sary for the use of the government ad-
ministered upon business principles. No
customs duties should be imposed for any
other purpose but needed revenue, is the
Democratic idea. Luxuries should bear
the greatest burden of taxation, and the
necessities of the masses the least. All
tariff duties and all other methods of
taxation should be SO imposed as to pro-
duce as near as possible equality of taxa
ton. No tax should be imposed for the
benefit of classes or sections These are
issues upon which the pending presi-
dental contest must be fought, and the
people are ready for the issue.-LG Crosse
Chronicle, Dem.
There is not particle of evidence
to show that the Democratic party enter
tains the opinion expressed in the above
extract. In the present house of repre-
sentatiYes the Democrats have nearly 80
majority. No Democrat has introduced
a bill to provide for tariff for revenue
only. No Democrat has introduced a
bill discriminating against luxuries more
than is done by the present tariff. No
attempt has been made to modify the
incidence of taxation as il now exists.
The only measure introduced and consid-
cred was bill which adopted the present
tariff as basis and proposed a horizontal
reduction of 20 per cent. of the present
duties, and this bill was killed by Demo
cratic votes. The Democratic party then,
if it pretends to go before the people in
the presidential canvass on any suca Isl
sue as is proposed in the above will, as
usual be guilty of seeking to obtain votes
upon false pretenses.-MilUaukee Sem

In the House of Representatives
Thursday young English who contested
the seat of Peele, republican, the sitting
member for the Indianapolis, Indiana,
district was counted in by the Bourbons
by majority of three. The thing was
so baretaced fraud that even some of
the democrats could no stomach it, 81
recording their votes against admitting
English, among them Woodward and
Jones, of this state. We fear Mr.. Winans
lost sight of his "independeht" character
for the time and voted to admit English.
Peele labored under the disadvantage of
having small majority over English
and on this account it was an easy mat
ter to make successful contest.

UNANIMOUSLY DEMoCRATIC.-Wm
Skinner, of Indiana, possesses the COM
prehensive grasp of the average demo>
cratic statesman. Mr.. Skinner announces
the following as his idea of what the
democratic platform should be:
l White hushuns or nun.
Pussennel liberty or deth.
Revenue for tariff only
Free trade for protection only.
5 Protection for revenue only.
6 Tariff for free trade only.
z Tariff only.
s Revenue only.
9 Free trade emily.
10 Protection only.
IL Office for democrats only.
Il Turn the republican rascals out
only.
13 Civil service reform to be applied
to the republicans only.
This he declares is the only platform
on which all democrats can unite. 1t
is entirely comprehensive, particularly
as to the tariff, and as Mr.. Skinner SEN
tentiously remarks, "excloods only re-
publicans and niggers." Mr.. Skinner

The Feast Of the FlatheadS.

Missoula Times: Last Tuesday the an
nual feast was celebrated at St. Ignatius'
Mission, by nearly LOCO Indians belong
ing to the Flathead nation, and about 100
whites, consisting of Priests, Sisters and
visitors. This mission was es tablished by
Father DeSmet over forty years ago for
the outstanding of the then savage
tribes. Since then it is to the credit of
the Fathers and Sisters that every one of
the confederate tribes of the Flathead
nation have been brought under the inAr.
encc of civilized and christianized life.
At the mission there is church 40x1OO
feet, erected by Father Menetry in 1855,
large dwelling, barns grist mill and
saw mill, together with about forty log
cabins which the Indians who live at the
mission erected for themselves. The
school for the education of Indian girls
was founded in 1864 by the present moth

pieces spoken by Indian boys and girls,
songs dialogues, and music by the In
dian bows brass band At the feast of
Christmas and Ignatius. the Indians are
given fat bullock, which is cooked and
eaten on the table and chairs provided by
nature-the ground. At the end of the
third day closed one more celebration Of
the feast devoted to the remembrance of the
patron saint, Ignatius, Of the Flatheals-
a tribe whose boast it is that they never
shed the blood of white man; and it isa
significant fact that they stand out pre-
eminently living monument of the vir-
tue and good results of pure and unseltish
philanthropic labor. Well may the
Fathers and Sisters feel justly proud of
the results of their untiring devotion to the
uplifting of this branch of the navtive
American.
