CATO.

A young man in Franklin during the
cold spell had his toes frozen while haul
ing cordwood. He did not give the mat
ter the proper amount of attention and
last week he found it necessary to have
an amputation performed.
John Margan of Clark's Mills thinks
it is not necessary to wait for fine weather
to take q bath in the river. He last week
set to work with some men he had har-
vesting ice and in order to show how the
thing should be properly done, slipped
into the water. After considerable haul
ing he was brought to the surface weigh
ing many tons more than he did before
he took his dip.
Cato has the skating fever. 1t has it
bad and there seems to be no cure but
indulgence. The skating is not graceful
but it is wonderfully emphatic. There
are few who can manage to get out of
"Sohneider" in this roller game but if
perfection comes from practice there will
be experts in this burg. 1t is good exer-
ciso they claim and they get all there is
in it.
A tramp, real, Simon pure tramp has
been putting time in here. He goes by
the name of Pat and is not ashamed of
his calling. Pat has been clog dancer
in his time but it did not prove remun-
erative and he has taken to cold victuals
as q means of livelihood. His long,
gaunt fingers hug the stove when he
comes from his lodging in some hay loft
and he breathes like the bellows of an
ssthmetic organ. He hates work and
loves whiskey, and says he's content with
Jail fare and idleness. He is high type
of his class and proud of his profession.
He will probably find his way soon to
the Manitowoc Jail as he has worn out
his welcome here.

The schools Of this city are sorely
lacking in school libraries. The north
side school has a number Of reference
works and the First Ward school has a
humber of valuable works but mainly
those for pupils well advanced in years
and capable of making proper selections
for themselves if correct habits have been
formed. But there is nothing Cor pupils
from the grammar grades down to the
primary. Not every parent knows what
kind of books to select for his children
and most give no attention whatever.
Every child should be- so instructed as to
fiud pleasure in reading. Tt should not
be of the "1ash" kind which weakens
the character and corrupts the morals.
If the habit is to be formed it should be
begun early. Every schoo, in the city
should be provided with a library con
tanning books suited, particularly, to the
needs of pupils of the lower grades
There is an army of young people grow
ing up in this city who can find amuse-
ment only in the most excitable atmos-
phere and are thus flying far from steady
habits. The fault lies in their not hay
ing the rational amusement which good
books furnish.

THERE is movement in this county on
the part of farmers looking toward an
improvement in the kind of live stock
they keep. But it is a little singular
that this improvement is more general
with regard to horses than to other ami
mails having more direct relation to the
wealth Of the farmer. There is less
money in horses than in any other kind
of stock farmer can raise. With the
dairy interests of this county growing Is
they have lately better quality of COWS
will largely increase the returns of the
farm. In view of the low price of wheat
and of the probabilities that in the fu-
ture its highest price will be one dollar
per bushel, it behooves the farmer to
turn bis attention to a variety of pro-
ducts. Peas pay well in those towns
suited to their growth, as the peas of
this county are une1celled in their quail
ity. Garden products should receive
more attention particularly in commun-
tiles having good facilities for shipping.

MARSHAL PIERCE preserves peace IN
the city en- so strict basis that local re-
porters are down on him. Rarely any
thing happens; not even granger's team
is allowed to run away. Jerome should
let things boom, say once week. Peo-
pie want little local news and lawyers
would not object to little trouble now
and then. The boys themselves would
like to whoop it up small mite even
though the majesty of the law would be
certain to assert itself. In view of the
demand of the public some little scrim-
mage should be allowed to take place.

ACCORDING to the license bill introduc
ed in the legislature by Friend Of Mil
waukee, the city of Manitowoc having .
population between 5000 and 10000
will have its saloons pay license Of $3.50
each. The country saloons at distance
of three miles or more from one another
will pay a license of 500. There will
unquestionably be license bill passed
and it will have "sliding scale" and the
amount each saloon will have to pay will
doubtless be based on population, but
there will be notifications in the amount
of the license fee.

PANGBoRN has compiled a very clever
volume in his latest edition of the b. i
o. Red Book, to which he gives the
taking title of ''The Revolution of "a. "
1t covers the more important states in the
late struggle most completely, and it
would be hard to conceive of any data
toward thorough understanding of the
situation which has not been considered.
The book is we'll worth the sending Of
address, with stamp, to G. K. Lord,
Baltimore, for it, In typographical ap-
pearance the publication far surpnsses all
other political text books, all the figure
work being clearly printed and faultIess
ly set. feature of the reading matter
is the data given of the programme for
Inauguration, which cannot but prove
decidedly interesting to those who intend
being of the great American public as
sisting upon that occasion.

THE Milwaukee Journal is somewhat
inclined to stem the torrent of opposition
to the roller skating rink craze. 1t says
"because there be those present who
would not be invited or tolerated in Sc
lect society does not justify the oft found
assumption that all who skate become
immoral or that skating itself tends to
immortality" and then as if to take mid
die position it continues; "To become
crazy over the sport, as many undoubt-
eddy have is bad" and ''there is no man
ner Of doubt bpt roller skating is carried
to the point where it ceases to be an
amusement and becomes a folly" But
then it contends the same arguments can
be used with star more force against
dancing, as seen in the most recent and
most popular movements" The cru
SADIE against roller skating really teuds
to make it more popular. If it has a
delightful wicked feature, those who
indulge in it CLAIM it has compromising
side in the physical exercise it gives.

account of the cold weather. On Wed.

He limits himself closely to milk diet
and there are now hopes that this will
effect cure. He awaits fine weather to
leave for Georgia.

IT Is not bad practice for young peo-
pie to send news items to newspapers.
1t gives them confidence in the use OF
written language and also power Of e1-
preston. The greatest danger lies in
striDging out an item of little Importance
or collecting wholly unimportant ones.
Personals are getting to be the bane
of newspaper correspondence.

FRIEND of Milwaukee has introduced a

license bill which is quite a modification
of that which Pierce farthers. It makes
$500 license the minimum for large cit
les, and then there is graded license
dependent upon population until a
minimum of 800 is reached. Friends
bill is more just than Pierce's but it also
needs and doubtless will receive modi-
fications.

THE INTER OCEAN,

In 1885 THE INTER OCEAN enters upon the
fourteenth year of its existence. Given unusual
confidence by the people in it's early days it has
steadily grown in favor until this day, when
the publishers take pride in the fact that the
paper goes into more homes and has a greater
number of readers than any publication west
of the Aleghen1es.
From the beginning THE INTER OCEAN has
stood firmly by the principles of the Republi-
can party, and has, in season and out Of season
commended for protection to American indus
try. 1t does not agree with the idea that the
mission of the Republican party is finished; on
the contrary it believes that purified by adver-
sity, it will in the near future again rise to the
higher planes of thought and action and be
completely restored to the confidence Of the
American people. The most important agen-
cies IN accomplishing this result will be Repub-
lican Journals. If reliable, stanch Republi-
can newspaper was important when the Re-
publican party was in power, it is doubIy so
now that the Democracy control the National
Government.
THE INTER OCEAN will in the future as in the
past be the medium through which the best
Republican thought will be given to the people,
1t will voice the convictions of advanced Re-
publicans without being unfair even to Bour-
bon Democrats. 1t will be aggressively Repub-
Hcan without being bitterly partisan, and will
give as much attention to the affairs of Cleye-
lands administration as it would have giyeu to
the administration of Mr., Blaine had he been
| elected. With an Associated Press franchise.
with special wires reaching to New York and
| Washington, with special correspondents in all
| important points of the country, THE INTEp
OCEAN will use its facilities for COLLECTING ,.o
without fear or favor, and so far as povor,.
mental affairs or party movements are ooncern-
ed VIII give fuller record thau any other ma
per,
| ALI of the old departments will be continued
The scope Of the WOMAN'S KINGDOM will he
widened so as TO take in all the Industrial and
reform movements in which women are inter
| ested and engaged. OUR CURIOSITY SHOP
now standard, will be given greater ysrietv
and interest. In the FARM AND HOUSE and
other departments the widest possible range of
topics will be discussed.
Of original short stories and serials. the yerv
best by American and English authors will be
