STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-At
the election of officers of the State Agri,
cultural Society held on Thursday evening

ly reelected president, Clinton Rabbit

Vaughan, Columbia; Seventh, S. B
McComher, Juneau; Eighth, w. A
johnson, Trempealeau; Ninth, A. F
Marquart, Narration. Over the vice pres
dent in the First district some wrangline
occurred. DR.. G. L Martin, of James
vile, who had been a vice president fol
IS years, claimed that he was removed
by the congressional delegation through
fraud. A vote of the entire society was
resorted TO and the action of the district
committee sustained.

A HINT TO WOOL GROWERS.

The American Wool Grower, evidently
not published in the interest of Governor
Hoadley, Of Ohio, or any other free, trade
Democrat, says
Now that our farmers are again coming
to the time OF the year when labor IN the
fields becomes less pressing and more
leisure is afforded for other work, let them
organize sheep breeders and wool-grow-
ers' associations where there are none and
push the work where there are. to the
end that the winter of 1885 and 1886
may see campaign of unprecedented
vigor on the part of this great interest to
right the wrongs forced upon it by an
unjust Congress.
The wool>growers had best make it. so
far as Ohio, the first wool state, is con-
cerned, so that the campaign of the fall
of 'S5 will go dead against the free-trade
Democracy.

No SANE man believes it. The New

General Grant eyer conceded the cleo
ton of Mr.. Tilden is absurd. General
Grant was not the kind of a man to talk
that way, nor positively in any other
way,sin case like that of 1876-'77. He
favored The commission in the interest OF
peace and good will. He knew as all
knew that at the time not less than hall

TWO MILWAUKEE PAPERS SUP
PRESSED IN GERMANY.

The following cable dispatch was re-
ceived by The Sectinel last night:
BERLIN, Sept. 9.-The government has
forbidden the circulation in Germany of
The American journal Turn-Zeitung, an
organ of the free thinkers. The news
paper is published in Milwaukee,"
The Americaniscbe Turnzeitung is
published weekly by the Freidenker
Publishing company, of this city, at 40
East Water street, and, as its name in
dictates, is devoted chiefly to matters
pertaining to Turner society affairs. 1t
is edited by G. H. Boppe, who first
learned that the German government
had suppressed his publication when
shown the dispatch by Sentinel reporter.
He expressed no surprise and said that
he had been expecting Cor some time that
the circulation Of the paper would be
forbidden. He said:
The Freidenker has been suppressed
by the German government since 1877.
At that time the Anti Socialistic law was
passed, and the paper under that law was
classed as an improper medium for cir
culation. Shortly after this law went
into effect we begun the publication of
The Turpzeitung, and, until this time. it
has bad an uninterrupted circulation
"How many copies of The Turnzeit
ung do you send into Germany?''
The number is insignificant, and
think is something like $50 copies-not
more than that. The government will
not prevent us from sending our papers
to subscribers as usual. The Freidenker
has been sent to a point in Switzerland
from which it has been quietly carried
into Germany and delivered 10 subscribers.
The same tactics will be employed to
circulate The Turnzeitung."
"What are the offensive articles you
have published?'
"The tone of the editorials of the paper
has been the same as those contained in
The Freidenker, only less space has been
devoted to such topics. The paper is
the American organ of the Turner'S, but
it has occasionally thrown little hot
shot that has net been relished by the
subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm. "-iSentinez,

The Albany Evening Journal gives
Its views on the great question of the
liquor traffic as follows:
We are inclined more and more, az we
study the question, to coincide with the
Christian Union in favor of high Ii.
cense for beer and ale, a still higher
license for hard liquors, and for local
option wherever majority may desire it.
Such law would lead up gradually buj
surely to such a reformation as the friend:
of temperance are laboring for. 1t would
bring the reformation about without the
confusion, the strife and bitterness that
are making enemies of prohibition even
among the best friends of temperance
reform. .'.'

SENATOR MALONE is making a canvass
in Virginia that is alarming the Bourbon
Democracy, the night-riders and kuklux.
With peaceful election and fair vote,
Legislature will undoubtedly be chosen
favorable to his reelection as United
States Senator. He and Wise, the
Republican candidate for Governor, have
made an equitable division of the labor
before them. Malone is looking after
the Legislative districts, and Wise is
stirring up the popular vote on the State
ticket.

of Illinois has overruled the motion for a
continuance in the case of Joseph c..
Mackin, convicted of perjury in the cleo,

but one hope of keeping out of the pen
Tertiary, though in view of the Presi-
dents pardon of Mullen, of Cincinnati,
there is no reason to suppose that Mackin
will serve his term out. The Democratic
war ''Turn the rascals out" can be
expended upon to discharge every con-
victed rascal, provided he be Democrat.

THE thirteenth annual Interstate
Industrial Exposition of Chicago, opened
September and will close October II.
The Chicago exposition opened for the
first time September %, 1873, and each
consecutive exhibition has been of the
highest class-its field being industry,
science and art. Its unvarying success
is evidenced by the fact that. with an
admission fee of only Is cents, its treasury
has never failed in any one year to
realize from $4,000 to 500, 1000 net.

CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL GAZETTE:
The Democratic newspapers which so
highly recommended Cleveland's position

ministration return to the old spoils sys-
tem-and it is returning accordingly.

Some Food for Rcdecti l.

The age to which we have at present
attained MAY be stated thus: Compar.
ed with the period 183S-1854 (the ear
liest for which there are trustworthy
records9. the average of a mans life
now is Ais years instead of 1913. and
of a woman's 45.3 instead of Al. 9years,
an addition of 8 per cent. to the female
life and 5 per cent. to the male. OF
each thousand males born in the pres
ent day, A more will attain the age of
IS than used to be the case previous to
1871. For the whole of life the esti.
mate now is, that of 1000 persons
(one-half males and one-half females)
IS survive at the age of forty-tive, rs
at 6fty-five, 9 at sixty-fve. 8 at seventy
five, and l at eighty-tive. To put the
cast in another way, every thousand
persons born since 1870 will live about
200 years longer than before. In
other words, the life of a thousand per-
sons is now equal in duration to that of
l,O7O persons previously; and 1000
births will now keep up the growth of
our population as well as 1910 births
used to do. This is equivalent in re-
suit to 81; increase of our population,
and in the best form, viz, not BY more
births but by fewer deaths, which
means fewer maladies and better health.
What Is more, nearly 70 per cent. of
this increase of life takes place (or is
lived) in the "usual period'-namcly,
between the ages of twenty and sixty.
