AN OLD MAP

Among the relics owned at Waukesha
not the least interesting is an old map of
Michigan, with parts of the adjoining
States" that was prepared some time pri-
or to 1926. On July 16, 1925, it appears
the map was presented to G. Blake for
the use of the Mariner by James Nc Clos
key" Below this inscription is written
Schooner Mariner, July 16, 1925, Ches
ley Blake" At the date of making the
map seven counties in the southeast cor
ner of the then territory were organized,
but west of these appear but the merest
outlines. Along both shores of Lake
Michigan the positions of the river
mouths are given, yet as all the streams
appear to have their rise directly east or
west from the lake, except in rare in
stances, it is evident that only few had
been explored. The hhIilvacky" is re-
presented as having it's source in what is
now Dane County, and as having a north
branch leading from near Green Lake,
and southern one originating near the
Illinois line. Among the Wisconsin riv-
ers are the "Cheboiegan" "Manitowack'
and "Ouisconsiu' The map will soon
be pressvered with other interesting re-
Ices of the state. The early reel oient of
the map, Capt. Chesley Blake. was well
known to most of our pioneers. For
years he was famous as the most daring
and successful of all the lake navigators
Many highly entertaining stories used to
be ahoat Of his doings and sayings, but
of late years they are seldom recalled.

BECK and Edmunds had tilt in the
senate on Wednesday of last week in
which the fiery Scotchman melted the
icy senator from Vermont into semblance
of heat. He stated that Duskin had to
be nominated three time before the
senate saw fit to confirm him and that
Edmunds who is now raising such
howl because of Duskin's removal, would
not report him for confirmation in 1881,
and that the papers then in possession
of the Judiciary committee proved that
Duskin was an unfit man for the place to
which he was nominated. Edmunds
grew very much alarmed over thus speak
ing publicly of papers in the possession
of the committee and of the proceedings
of the senate in executive session and in
order to stop Beck's exposures the senate
went into executive session. 1t seems
Edmuds has some papers which he con-
siders private and confidential.

The clergyman who is pledging young
men against the use of tobacco is doing
good common sense work in the interests
of society, although he may not put his
pleas for abstention in the form of ''Come
to Jesus, just now" 1t is little signi-
hcant, when any genuine moral reform
is attempted, the evil is attacked directly
and man speaks to man without the in
tervention of homilies and texts. The
evangelist who asks all those "who want
to be saved to stand up" should be sent
to lunatic asylum as crank too dan
gerous to be allowed to run at large. If
half the professed teachers of morals
could be colonized in some secluded
place where they could not have access
to poor, erring people great many evils
woulh be cured which these false teach
ers aggravate by their ignorance of mo-
tive and ttair coception of morality.

THERE is something strange abnu

THERE is something strange about this
internal improvement business aud if
congressman would only carry the pre-
JUDGES of their constituents with them
to congress there would be no such thing
as harbor and river appropriation bill.
Every district has soma little scheme of
its own and every other scheme outside
the district ia looked upon and denounced
AS steal. But the congressman must
j lin in to give slice to all else he gets
nothing for his own district and thus the
matter is parceled out. The Fox and
Wisconsin River crowd insist that the
Hennepin Canal scheme il q steal and
the Hennepin Canal retorts you're
another" and the beauty of it is both are
in the right. Guenthef is the champion
OF the Fox and Wisconsin and Murphy
OF Iowa toots the Heunepin bugIe.
Murphy is demsgogue and Guenther
is shrswd politician and neither gives
cent for the great Improvement he
advocates except in 80 far as it makes
him popular with his constituents.
We on the lake shore want harbors
improved but here there il no Interior
purpose to be served. The improvement
is primarily and wholly in the interests
of navigation. But to secure appropria-
tions, the claims of the Fox and Wiscon.
sin and of the Hennepin Canal must be
recognized. The deserving must ioin
hands with the undeserving so that the
favors of Congress may be shed alike
upon the just and the unjust.

a WOMAN IN THE ARMY.

Washington letter: There is re
markable case before the house COM
mittee on the military affairs. 1t is q
bill to remove the charges of desertion
from the record of Franklin Thomson,
alias Mrs. Sarah F. E Seelya. A wo
man named s arah & Edmoads, prompt
ed solely by patriotism, served for two
years as soldier i'll the Federal ARM.
At the outbreak of the war she was living
at Flint, Mich. She assumed male at
tire, became private in Company F. of
the Second Michigan infantry, went to
the front, was at the battle of Bull Run,
served all through the Peninsular cam
paign, then under Gen. Pope, then with
Burnside at fredericksburg, and thence
went West with the regiment to Ken
lucky. There the young soldier was
Frustrated with chills and fever, contract
ed on the Peninsula, leave Of absence
was refused, and, fearful that her sex
would be discovered, she left the army,
and, returning to Oberlin, O.. resumed
her woman's grab. Though participat-
ing in over forty battles, large and small,
she never was wounded. Opposite the
name she bore the word "deserter" had
been written on the army records. This
she seeks to have removed. She married
in 1867. She is fully Unidentified by
members of her own company and regi-
ment. She is now living at Fort Scott,
Kas., and the bill proposes to give her
clean record, with back pay and bounty.
1t is asserted that Mrs. Seelye is an in
valid as the result of her exposure and
hardships in the army, The committee
favors Mrs. Seelye's bill because sit can
not be objected to on the ground that it
is likely to set a dangerous precedent
This sage remark has more spicy flavor
than anything else in the document.

A ROW took place between negroes and
whites in a court room in a town of
Mississippi last week. The negroes and
whites were present in large numbers
and armed. One of the negroes drew a
revolver and fired at white man who
had been arrested for an assault. The
firing then became general and number
of the negroes were killed. The walls
were riddled with bullets and the floor
covered with blood.

PRoTECTIoNIsTs are now being served
with little of their own medicine, by
the organization of laborers into society
which has tremendous power. People
are not allowed to buy where they plea sc;
manufacturers are not allowed to hire

rounding into symmetry of the principle
by the action of the laborers aud the
natural sequence of protection is at hand.

ENGLAND is in bit of ferment because
the queen was frightened by having bit
of paper thrown into her carriage. She
was riding through the streets and as
usual crowds of servile admirers were
cheering when a ragged old man threw a
piece of paper into the carriage. Fears
of Irish dynamite took possession of
every one, but it was found that the mis-
sile was q petition. The little episode
furnished the daily papers with matter
for sensational head lines and gave the
police employment.

TIE Sentinel refuses to be comforted
because some white men had not been
killed in the affair at Carrollton last week.
The negroes should be encouraged to use
little dynamite seeing that they are not
experts with revolvers. Or mayhap the
whites could be induced with proper
arguments to indulge in suicide. Some
thing should be done to allay this grief
over the refusal of southern whites to die
IN sufficient numbers.

1t seems that democrats can rise above
party at times as the vote on the Hurd-
Romiss contested case proves. Three
democrats on the election committee
voted against Hurd. Since the supreme

aside and followed party, anything In
the line of conscience in party matters is
looked upon as absurd.
