A WEALTHY TRAMP. Thursday even.
ing young man crazed with liquor was
arrested at the Junction for disorderlv
conduct. He made an attempt to wrench
Oft the track gates and assaulted the
gatekeeper, w. Schmiegel. The sum of
So77.35 was found on his person, an
unusual amount for person of his make
up. He also had railway ticket from
st. Paul to Montreal, partly punched.
Next morning Justice Stacy sentenced
the prisoner to the county jail for days
and fined him So and costs. He gave
his namesas L. q. Obeshaw, and spoke a
gibberish of Indian and French. The
Individual could give no intelligible an

Another County Heard From

The Watertown postofice seems to
continue to attract public attention and
appears to be a never. ending subject for
discussion Notwithstanding the appoint
ment Of postmaster has been made.
General Ginty, writing in the Chippewa
Herald anent the quarrel here over the
appointment and the ruling out of Gard
ner, because he served on the rebel side,
after explaining that since the war
Gardner has declared himself satisfied
that the rebellion was wrong, says:
The question comes up, was not Major
Gardeners course more mani y, more frank
and courageous than that of the men at
the North who talked of the cd aboli
ton war;" discouraged enlistments, and
growled and found fault with everything
that was done? Wouldn't it be safer to
trust Gardner g thousand times more,
rather then put confidence in those who
gloried in the name of Copperhead, but
who lacked the courage OF Maj. Gardner
the manly courage to fight and risk his
life for what be then thought was right?
An administration that couldn't con-
scientiously appoint Gardner on the
ground of his war record, just after Sc
Letting for foreign appointment the
brutal commander of the rebel pen at
Danyille, where SO many Northern
soldiers suffered and died-such an ad--
ministration should learn that consistency
is an almighty rare jewel. Last week
Pillsbury, Of Maine, was appointed
revenue collector During the war he
was even worse rebel sympathizer thar
Vallandigham!

hypocrites who strain at gnat but gulp

The POstsn0Stership.
WATERFOWL, May 18th.

w AAHANAOU4N1 Wa 1&bhs
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-The Gazette,
referring to my communication of last
week. claims there is no disafection here
among the Germans over the appointment
of Mr.. Howell as postmaster. The editor
could not have mingled much with the
Germans to ascertain their views, or he
would not haye made this statement He
says there were give Germans in the
field'' for the Office, and that being di.
yided they could not be expected to win.
This is queer argument if true which it
is not. The inference is that the Americans
were united and Mr. Howell was their
only candidate, which is also incorrect.
Does the Gazette mean 10 serve a notice
on the Germans that they must present
but one candidate for an office if they do
not expect to be turned away empty
handed? Besides, while the Germans
furnish two thirds of the Democratic votes
here, have they no stronger claims upon
patronage and honOrs than the other
third of the Democratic organization?
The Gazette thinks they have not. The
Germans take exception to this narrow
minded unfair proposition. They recog-
nize the fact that in proportion TO the
aid they render the Democratic party in
Jefferson county the favors bestowed upon
them are unduly small. But not the
least ground of complaint in the present
instance is the fact that the appointment
of Postmaster was dictated by outsiders,
and was made without reference to, and
in defiance of, the wishes of the party in
Watertown. 1t Was controlled by inhu-
ences in Madison, Jefferson and Fort
Atkinson, regardless of the feet that a
majority of the Democrats here had
asked for the appointment of some one
else. Mr.. Howell will doubtless make a
satisfactory official The same may be
said Of many other Democrats. including
2
the two who lead Mr.. Howell as regards
the number and weight of persons sign
ing the respective petitions. What the
Germans dislike is that they shall always
be expected to "whoop it up" for the
Democratic ticket, and then be assigned
to back seats when the choicest political
plums are being distributed. They ask
in vain what Mr.. Howell has2ever done
for the party that he should be favor ed
as he has been with the best Office in the
city. That he won, as the Gazette says,
on "the still hunt plan is not calculated
to heal their lacerated hearts. It smacks
too much of chicanery and political
thimble-rigging to suit them; and they
wonder if it has become one of the es-
tablished usages of the party under this
reform administration that frank, open
handed work shall be despised, and the
measure of ones success depend entirely
upon the skill he may show as sly and
cunning schemer. IF that is to be the
basis of operations, the sooner it is
understood the better.

Chorus Class Concert.

The concert Of the WATERFOWL Chorus
Glass, under direction of G. S. Hawley.
last Wednesday evening at Turner Hall,
called out large audience and the
entertainment may well be classed as the
most pleasing, enjoyable and successful
ever given by home talent in WATERFOWL.
The programme of selections carefully
prepared, principally from the old mas
ters, was rendered in manner that won
favorable responses from the audience at
the close of each number. While all
acquitted themselves in a way that
evinced high degree of training and
musical taste, especial mention should be
made of the singing of Prot M. T. Corby,
Mrs. w. w. Jones, Miss L. Ruesch, Miss
E. Blair, Miss Anna Malloy and Mr..
Hawley; end the piano playing Of Willie
Sproesser, Miss AnBa Brown and Miss
Maggie Norton Tn the choruses were
manifested Nr. Hawley's superior talent
as director of judgment and skill, and
a collection of finely mo2ulated voices.
For sweetness and precision Of tone. Mr..
IL twley's chorus class, we think, consid-
ering its numbers, will compare with any
to be heard in the larger cities. 1t lie
the general opinion, after its effort of last
Wednesday evening, that the WATERFOWL
Chorus Glass should appear before the
public oftener than once a year. It's
appearance once month would, no
doubt, be appreciated and sustained.

Ama0urst From Liquor Licenses

The Board of Street Commissioners
this year have granted 30 saloon and
Wholesale liquor dealers licenses at 5000
each, amounting in the aggregate to
$4,000. Also drug store liquor permits
at $40 each, making a grand total of
$1,000 received from the sale of liquor to
swell the city general fund. The new
law does nothing more than compel
saloons to bear their just share of the
taxes and it behooves every good citizen
to see that this law is enforced.
Per contra, last year the Board issued
60 saloon licenses at $75 each, amounting
to $4,000, and II wholesale and drug
store licenses at $50 each, amounting to
$3.50, grand total from liquor licenses
of $1,000. Under the new law the city
receives $4970 more from license money
this year than last. With the number of
saloons remaining as at present the diff
ference in the amount obtained from the
nsw law over the. old law in three years
would aggregate $14,910. or a sum
nearly sufficient to pay for the new city
hall.

reaching great age as follows: Avoid
excess in everything; respect old habits,
even bad ones: breathe pure air; adapt
your food to your temperament; keep a

mind. We think in these times the item
of food is very importsnt, and we recon-
mend to our friends the use of DeLands
