WISCONSIN TOBACCO CROP,

There has been wonderful increase
in the tobacco crop in this state the
present year over last year. The Wis
consin Tobacco Reporter gives the num-
Der of acres devoted to growing tobac-
co in 1885 to be 29,260, which is an in
crease of 1886 over last year. Tobac-
co is now raised in forty of sthe sixty
five counties in the state, Dane and
Rock counties largely taking the lead.
The number of acres in Dane county
Is stated to be 12,107 of the forty
counties estimated, Kenosha county
has the lowest number of cases, being
but one. The profits of growing to-
bacco have been so much in advance
of other farm products the past two
or more years that it is leading to an
abandonment of other farm products.
it is a singular revolution in farming,
but farmers will raise whatever crops
pay best. The tobacco wave has not
fairly struck Kenosha county, but it
is natural to conclude it will another
year. If other counties are enjoying
a monopoly in the profits, they will
not be permitted to have it alone;
those not in the tobacco business will
be sure to come in for share. The
boom will probably continue until
hundreds not yet in the cultivation
of the plant get ready to enter upon it
largely, when suddenly there will
come reaction and prices drop down.
The law of supply and demand will
rule in this as it has always done. No
one believes that the supply of tobacco
will always be as limited as wheat,
corn and other cereals.

THE RICH AND THE POOR.

In estimating human happiness
there is not as wide difference be-
tween wealth and poverty as people
generally suppose. Destitution is
greatly to be dreaded, almost as much
as painful sickness, which afflicts the
rich as well as the poor. But that
condition of poverty which does not
involve the pangs of hunger is more
endurable than it really appears to be-
People become accustomed to doing
without luxuries and even comforts OF
life, and. when reconciled to their con-
dillon, do not experience unhappiness
Competence or enough to supply the
wants of life is of course better than
deprivation and want But it is a
mistake to suppose that wealth CON
duces more to human happiness than
competence. As we pass the habita.
tions of the rich and the poor in travel.

abodes of the most contented and

with expensive surroundings naturally

supposed to have monopoly of the

Paul Richter, or Paul with Virginia.

doubt he wants us to believe that it's
Paul the apostle, and his admirers will
at once believe it was. But you see
he got his opinion of what Paul the
apostle said, not from the Bible, but
from T. Paine or some other writer of
that class. He informs us that the
only authority for keeping the Sabbath
on the first day of the week was an
edict of the Emperor Constantine, a
proof that he knows nothing about
the subject. In several places in the
new Testament we are informed that
the Christians met on the first day of
the week for worship. and in church
history we are told that the church
met according to custom on the first
day of the week, and that some kept
the seventh also, and not few kept
the fourth likewise, in memory of the
betrayal of Christ. The Jewish con-
verts for long time honored the rites
of the Jewish church, but met for w0r-
ship on the first day of the week, and
all that Constantine did was to order a
more rigid observance of the first day.
But the Sabbath rest) is a physical
necessity, and any one who attempts to
destroy it is an enemy to the laboring
classes. If a man works faithfully six
days week for year and rests one,
he will do more work than man who
works faithfully seven days week
for year. Of course this does not
apply 10 men who loaf round six days
and work hard on Sunday to show how
they have got over the superstition of
the age. This subject was tested for
some years, and proved that coach
horses could run more miles in year
with one days rest in seven than
horses that ran the seven days weekly

CORN CROP OF 1885,.

The corn crop in the corn growing
states having now very generally pass
ed beyond the danger of frost, the col
lectors of crop statistics are enable
to approximate near an accurate esti-
mate for the year. The estimates for
1885 are based on a comparison with
the figures taken from the Agricultur-
al Bureau at Washington. Wisconsin
is ranked among the ten chief corn
growing states, but among the lowest.
Last year, 1884, the corn crop in Wis
consin was calculated at 26,200,0O0
bushels; this year at 21, 100000. The
total number Of bushels in the ten
corn states last year was 2,251, $685.
this year, 14,436, 236,00O. This shows a
considerable increase over last year.

DAKOTA.

Dakota is a miracle for rapid popu-
lation. Society has been taken en- naasse
from New England and the middle
states, and landed in Dakota. As a
rule, the new settlers were the best
people in the states from whence they
came. They brought with them the
idea OF public free schools, the higher
institutions of learning, churches, tem-
perance, and the essential institutions
of good society. The present Territory
of Dakota has an area twice that OF
New England, and is naturally divided
into two prospective states. A consti.
tuition is now being framed for the
southern half, and to be gotten in
readiness for submission to Congress
at its next session. 1t will take adj
vanced ground in governmental I'M
provements. Compulsory education
will be required; constitutional pro
hibition will be submitted to the peo-
pie, and the troublesome question will
be settled whether the people prefer tC
try constitutional prohibition to high
license. Other provisions which ex'
perlence in other states have found adj
vantageous for the people will be in
corporated in the fundamental charter
of the state.
But will the dominant party in the
House of Representatives in Congress
attempt to resist the admission OF
Dakota into the Union as an indepen
dent state? The political temptation sc
to do will be strong. The admission
of Southern Dakota will be sure to ado
two Republican .. S. senator's and &
number of additional Republican
Representative to the present Con
gress. With the admission of Southern
Dakota, Northern Dakota will be sure
to follow, making the Senate branch Of
Congress so strongly Republican as fol
years would not be overcome, allowing
for possible Republican reverses in
some of the states. There is now nj
slave territory as there used to be
when new free states were admitted
to keep the balance between the NOrtl
and the South. 1t is true there may bt
territory where the ghost of slavery
still fingers, but has lost its power fo
mischief. The question need not b'
asked why Dakota lis so relied upor
for future Republican states? The ex
pectation is based on the fact that thu
population is largely American, ant

believed to repose on bed of roses
often lie down to rest on a bel OF
thorns. If any man ever understood
the enjoyment of riches it was Solo
mon; he declared a preference fer
competence rather than great posses
sions. We perhaps look with pity on a
small, unpretentious dwelling, BE-
cause it suggests the abode Of poverty
but if it be only the habitation of pow
erty without restitution, there may be
within more of life's satisfaction than
in palace. The rich as well as the
poor are limited in their consuming
capacity for the snstainment of mortal
existence.
A man with an income of hundred
thousand year will consume no more
food or wear out no,more clothes than a
well-off mechanic. It is not because
the comparatively poor enjoy life as
we'll as the rich that poverty is to be
desired, nor is it because riches bring
trouble and anxiety that they are to
be despised; it is only to show that
there is a more equal distribution OF
human happiness in every community
than appears on the surface.

THE PEOPLES SAFEGUARD

Although the President of the United
States has q larger appointing patron
age than almost any monarch in Eu-
rope, the constitution imposes awhole-
some limit on his prerogative il max
ing appointments to Office, The adj
ministration has been charged with dis
placing good men from Office and APP
pointing ex.conviets and characterless
men in their places. All Presidential
appointments areisubiect to review by
the Senate, and may be rejected by that
body, il deemed improper persons,
During former administrations the
Senate has not often found it neceSs;s-
ny to exercise this supervisory power,
but if the charges of the disreputable
character of some of the appointees
to positions of trust the past few
months are true, they viii fail of confir-
nation. Where there have been gross
violations of the rules of civil service
the corrective will be applied, Both
the great political paAies are equally
bound to respect civil service until ii
is repealed.

KENOSHA COUNTY FAIR.

Our paper went to press last week
before the details of our county fair
were fully known. Probably most
people have learned before this the fair
was not success. Several causes
conspired to this result; the necessity
of postponing the fair week, ON ac-
count of the weather, naturally caused
the interest which had been awakened
to subside. The fair weather which
had succeeded a protracted rain len
the fair came off required the presence
of the country people at home. There
may have been other obstacles to sue

WHY POLITICAL AGITATION

Now while there are no state or ma

it would be inadyisable to keep up the
agitation of politics. were it not that
there are great wrongs which are at
tempted to be covered over. or treated
as of small account. So long as these
wrongs are permitted to exist, there
can be no good excuse for quietude in
matters pertaining to. governmental
affairs. As we said last week, the plat
form adopted by the recent Republi-
can state convention held at Saratoga.

certain the discussion on its merits will
be kept up through many coming
months. Some of our Methodist
friends say the discipline of the Metho.
dist church prescribes their duty, which
requires them to be prohibitionists
The Bishops of the Methodist church
in America are generally men of prao-
tical good sense, and are presumed to
understand what the rules of the
church require Of its members. Bishop
Merrill, in letter which has been
widely circulated, takes the ground
that the third party prohibition poll
ticians are doing the cause of temper
ance vastly more harm than good
Bishop Bowman has written letter
to the Chicago Inter Ocean on the same
subject, in which he takes substantially
the same views as expressed by Bishop
Merrill. 1t would seem proper that al
Methodists who are loyal to the church
should respect the deliverances of their
Bishops.
