JUDGES OF THE SUPREME
COURT OF WISCONSIN,.

The court consists of Chief Justice
o. Cole and Associate Justices w. z.
Lyon, III. S. Orion, David Taylor and
]. B. Cassoday. OrtoE is the oldest
aged 6S years, and Cassoday the young
est, aged IS years. The Wisconsin
Judges do not dress in the same cos
tune as the judges of the United States
Supreme Court at Washington. The
latter wear gowns when sitting official
ly on the bench; the Wisconsin judges
dress only in plain black when sitting
in Court. The gown contributes to
the official appearance of dignity, and,
is in accordance with old-time custom,
introduced early into this country
from England.

SUPERFLUOUS WORDS.

1t is almost marvellous how custom
retains so many superfuous words,
particularly in the language of legal in
struments. Legal gentlemen have an
especial passion for redundancy OF
words in formulating court documents.
Pleadings in court, called legal fctions,
were once not only common, but deem
ed a necessary fern. These kinds of
pleadings were originally borrowed
from the legal practice in England,
and retained in this country for years
after having been abolished in the
country from which they came.
David Dudley Field, of New York,
recently made an effort to have the
legislature of that state pass code to
do away with superfluous words in
legal documents. In the ordinary
deed of transfer Mr.. Field says there
are $50 words, of which SEQ are super
fiuous. In the ordinary mortgage form

FOURTH OF JULY.

Every body knows that one of the
great national holidays Of the year oc-
ours on the 4th of July. The Ameri-
can people should never tire of proper
ly commemorating that event in our
country's history. The profit Of cele-
brating the day depends much on the
manner Of it's observance. If so con-
Quoted as to revive the thrilling scenes
of the Revolution and a remembrance
of the hardships and endurances of our
forefathers, who achieved for us nation
al independence, then the story cannot
be too often repeated. 1t sometimes
happens that 4th Of July celebrations
are gotten up by a few individuals
from purely selfish motives to specu-
late out Of the sale of eatables and
drinkables, especially the latter. If
our patriotic citizens should resolve on
4th of July celebration, let it be ne
worthy of the day and of tn e occasion.

1t appears to be conceded on all sides
that the New Orleans exposition, as a
financial enterprise, has proved a fail
ure. 1t was an expensive undertake
ing, requiring great outlay Of money.
Various reasons are given for its want
of success; many say bad management,
perhaps so; perhaps not. There are
always plenty of people VINO can tell
how failure could have been avoid
ed, If they could have had the manage
ment of affairs. 1t is probably nearest
the truth to say, the failure was be-
cause the patronage was not as large
as originally calculated upon.

remember when Mexico was compare
lively an unknown country, and much
that was said of it was Evolutionary.
1t is hardly a half dozen years since
the true condition of the country and
manners and habits Of its people were
understood. But as if almost by
magic, Mexico has been brought into
full connection with the United States
by railway, and commercial relations
are being rapidly established. Among
the latest movement Of friendly inter-
course is an editorial excursion of
Mexican editors, which will reach Chi
cage by railway on the 9th of June,
and remain in that city several days.
These editors, it is reported, will come
prepared to take ample notes of what
ever of interest their attention NAV be
called, with the view of publishing full
reports in their respective newspapers
at home. Thus, through the agency
of the press, will two nationalities be-
come thoroughly acquainted with each
other.

RESIGNATION OF PREMIER GL6U.
STONE.

The most recent and important news
from England is the resignation of Mr..
Gladstone, the English Premier. His
resignation was in consequence of the
defeat Of his asked-for appropriation
OF eleven million pounds for national
detences. There have been repeated
attempts during the past two years to
secure the retirement of Gladstone.
His defeat is a national calamity. His
influence has been on the side of peace.

it can be readily inferred What must

Late Appointments.

The anxiety and gossip over the
appointment of a successor to DIR. u.
Z. Witter the present post master in
this CITY. is ended. News was receiv.
ed on Monday from L. 3. Nash. at
Washington to the effect that Peter
McCamley, ex-sherif Of this county
was the lucky recipient There was
considerable strife between the several
Democratic factions for the place, each
faction presenting a candidate. NJ. j.
McRaith, with view of bettering his
chances for the position, visited the
capitol city with no immediate results
After his arrival there he soon saw
that T. E. Nash and Col Villas
were to intimately associated with each
other to make any break in the line.
However, Mr. McRaith enjoyed his
trip to Washington.
i. NJ. Nash, brother of 7. Il.
Nash, received the appointment for
the Centralia post office We believe
there was but little strife and talk
about this Office. The appointment
gives satisfaction so far as we have
heard
James w. Beattie, will succeed E.
S. Renne, in the Marshfield post office
and Lara Ward, A. B Cotey, at Pitts
vile. These were the only appoint
ments made in this county for the
present. The small fish will have to
swim later
