Ar Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin re-
f'ntly delivered itself of unique opinion,
but one which which will be generally APP
proved as tending to the support of morals.
A fellow put up at Milwaukee hotel with
lewd woman, registering himself and
her as man and wife. Before retiring he
deposited with the night clerk consider
able sum of money. During the hight the
clerk absconded with the money, and the
"guest" sued the proprietor of the hotel to
recover the amount of money deposited
The Circuit Court held that the guest could
not recover because he had deposited his
money with person not authorized to re-
eeive it. On an appeal the Supreme Court
sustained the decision, not on the ground
Of the lower court, but upon the distinct
proposition that inasmuch as the plaintiff
aad put up at the hotel to commit an
offense against the laws of the State, he
was not a guest of the hotel, and for that
reason could not recover. This decision is
one of Importance, and will throw a new
light upon the liabilities of hotel-keepers.

There is a certain apostle of higher cul.
ture among us who has recently been glad
dened by the birth oil son and heir.
When the necessary time arrived, the In
FAINT was taken to be duly registered. The
registrar, according to the usual custom,
inquired OF the parent what name he was
10 give to his offspring. The apostle OF
higher culture waved the idea ofnomen-
clature sternly away. His child, he assur-
ed the astonished registrar, should remain
unnamed until he had attained to years
Of discretion, and would be entitled to a
voice in the choice Of his own name. For
q moment the registrar was astounded, but
lie soon proved equal to the occasion.
"0h, very well, !" he said good humoredly,
'just as you please. On all such occasions,
when the parent gives the child no name /,
we invariably enter It as John" The a.
postle OF higher culture reeled against the
wall, and gasped for few moments in
speechless horror at the idea Of any truly
iesthetic infant being flung into the world
with 80 commonplace o Christian name.
Then he changed his mind, that his son
should be named, and he decided to call
his offspring Basiliides, or some other pame
suggestive Of the early Church.

Some Of the most harmonious outbursts
lately heard in this land Of Democratic
harmony have bsen occasioned by the
appointment Of apost trader. In time
ofyariesated reform it should not have
been urged that the appolntee was Re
publican who had beensmuggled in under
( the coat-tails Of his Democratic brother.
No such objection should have been
male, for by long experience it has been
shown that Republicans could make about
As much money out Of Indians and soldiers
"a Democrats used to make. Indeed q
trsdsrship is in no sense q political office;
andinthe sale Of rum and rides it makes
little difference whether the trader Is in
thorough accord with the advanced Civil
ssryice reform policy Of the administra-
ton.
There are some features Of peculiar In
terest in this new source Of Democratic
dtsquletude. Colonel Hassler, who dishes
up appointments in the Interior Depart
ment and is held responsible for the party
misery over the leadership, was Union
soldier. 1t vas largely owing to his in
discreet failure to conceal this fart@asone
might say, crash scs''-tLst as often as he
went up to Democratic conyention for
prefermsnt he went down again With the
sweet music OF the "Rebel yell" ringing in
his ears. Somehow he couldn't strike his
kind Of ia convention.
F.W. B. Hassler, brother to tho fore
going J.J.s., served in tho Confederate
army, but now he "bas for q number Of
years been one Of the most uncompro-
missing and noisy Republicans with whom
the local Democracy hsyo had to contend
"a Republican who has never missed an
opportunity 10 oppose, berate and villify
inthe most vehement terms, the Demo
cratic party, its tenets and its caudi-
dates.p Thus saith the Writ Tran
script, in whose county resides Mr..
F.NE. B. Hasaler. There was so much Of
this kind Of thing eaid, and such a terrible
kicking up Of heels, that the appointment
was revoked. But there remain said
some very ugly things which cannot be
uusaid. And, allah be praised! there re-
mains our "ofenfiye pattisan" F. w. B.
Aassler, 10 be nncompromising and noisy,
asheretofore, and for the local Democracy
tocontend with.
The ISrEI1IeESoER feels like saying, in
the interest Of harmony, that the Demo-
cratic brother ought not be kicked to
death, as seems to be the disposition, for
desiring to help along his Republican
brother. II this kind Of thing had not
been done to the third and fouth genera
ton the new administration would not
have stubbed its gxats American toe
against so many Democrats when it began
tokick the rascals out. We mutt be chari-
table, generous-giye and take, always re-
Numbering in politics TO take all We can
get and give as little as possible.

marks also the new birth Of this people.

that true epublicanism, which Is the com

States, after retiring their citizen armies
and holding only handful Of regular
soldiers, took rank among the great
powers OF the world. The foremost
foreign foe sgainst the cause and the Union
forwhich Grant and our armies fought
