druggists license from 5000 to $50.
The bill, as it is known, provides
for graded license fee, of $500,
$3.50, 5000 and 500, according to
the population of the city or village
granting license, and makes the fee
imperative for all places granting
license. The present law fixes the
minimum, and villages and cities
increase the fee at pleasure.
There are FIVE schemes before the
legislature to create new counties out
of the almost unexplored country in
the northern part of the state, and
the names which their projectors de-
sign to give them are, Stephenson,
Fairchild, Oneida, Rusk and Matt.
Carpenter. -Four of these are named
for prominent men of the state. The
new counties are asked to be made
from the present counties of Ashland
Sawyer, Price, Lincoln, Clark, Mara
thon, Langlade and Florence. All
the schemes have lobbyists working
in their interest, and all are meeting
with considerable opposition.
Great preparations are in progress
for the Legislative party to be given
at the assembly chamber week
from next Thursday evening. A
large number Of invitations have
been issued, and it will be a grand
affair.

SETTLE THE MATTER.

In no other way can the Legislature
so well serve the state as by Civ
ing it reasonable high license law.
The call for such law comes from
a million of people, at least. They
want it because it will lessen the sa-
loons--because it will crowd out a
bad class of them. They want it
because it will place upon the whisky
traffic its share of the taxes. They
want it because it is an outrage aud
disgrace to let matters remain as
they are. There is another reason
why they want it. There is not a
city in the state but has council in
which there are from one to a dozen
men who are there for the purpose
of looking after the interests of the
liquor traffic. AS a general rule
this class of aldermen is good for
nothing else in the council but that
one thing. They are not such men,
as a rule, as a business man would
give employment to Let the state
fix the license-take it out of the
hands of the city councils-and this
class of city Legislators will disap-
pear. There will be no further need
of their taking seats in the council
to fix the license at the lowest posi-
Bile figure, the state having settled
the matter by taking it oat of their
hands. The Legislature should not
adjourn until it has given the state a
high license law.-Suaday Mii,oau.

AN exchange aptly says: An indie
pendent paper, in the eyes of the
average democrat, is the kind Of a
paper that busies itself in placing
pins business end up, for republicans
to recline upon, and smiles upon his

In the estimation Of the average re-
publican it is the kind Of a paper
that makes it sultry for democrats
and smiles upon his party. The
slightest variation from these posi-
tons makes it a partisan sheet-an
organ, as it were, allowing the rank
