twelve jurors were obtained in the
anarchist case after the summoning
and examining of CAT men, occupying
the court % days. The twelve opinion
less men who were pronounced COM
petent to sit as jurors, were probably
not above the average of the DAT in
intelligence who were rejected. To
escape serving on jury, which bids
fair to be tiresome, the juror has only
to say, he has an opinion in the case.
If for such reason juror may be ex-
cused from service, it is equivalent to
confession Of weakness on his part /;
it is required of him to render YER
dict in accordance with the evidence
given on trial, irrespective of his pri-
vate opinion. But his excuse Of hay
ing an opinion, is virtually saying he
has not strength of mind to overcome
his private opinion, although the evil
dence in the case may contradict his
opinion or show it to be wrong.

ANOTHER ONE-ARMED UNION
SOLDIER BROUGHT TO
THE GUILLOTINE.

The present Democratic Admins
tration has no respect for disabled
Union soldiers, but slaughters them in
Discriminatory, whether minus an arm,
or leg or otherwise manned in battles
defending the Union. Capt. Charles
Frantz, the one.armed postmaster in
this city, has been deposed from office,
and for what? Has he been default
er. and have the affairs of the office
been dishonesty managedP 1t cannot
be that, for not many days ago an of
fetal agent of the postoffice depart
ment gave the affairs of the office a
thorough examination and pronounced
all correct. During the seventeen
years that Capt Frantz has had charge
of the office, he has never been charged,
so far as we have heard, with any act
of dishonesty. We are asked who is
o. G. King, the nominated successor
of Capt. Frantz; what service has he
rendered the country? Has he dis
tinguished himself as the champion of
any meritorious cause2 Has he been
known in any public enterprise for the
benefit of the city? We confess our
Inability to answer any of these ques-
tions. Perhaps there are those who
can answer them satisfactorily.

POLITICAL.

Matters political have been quiet in
this congressional district until quiet
recently. The Racine Republicans it
appears are pressing the candidacy of
H. A. Cooper for member of Congress.
Mr.. Cooper is young man, not so
generally known in the district as
some others who have been mentioned
in connection with that office. He is
a gentleman of acknowledged talent
and good reputation, and if nominated
would have the cordial support Of
Republicans. 1t is said that Mr..
Cooper is not brought forward because
there is any dissatisfaction with Mr..
Caswell, the present member, but for
the reason that this Office ought of
right to be taken from the eastern
part of the district; that this part of
district has not had the member since
Hon. j R. Doolittle occupied the place
in 1857. The question of location of
of candidates is often raised, but more
as a matter of policy, than involving a
principle. Kenosha county has had
no member of Congress, since Hon.
Charles Durkee represented the dis
trict; elected in 1856; yet we hear of
no complaining because Kenosha coun-
ty has been left out for nearly a gem
GRAFTON. We hear of no aspirants for
the place in this county. If it be con.
coded as stated, that Hon. L. B. Cas-
we'll has been a faithful member of
Congress, then the choice between him
III. A. Cooper, turns on the question of
location. Legislative experience in
the House of Representative is re-
garded desirable, hence members of
largest experience generally occupy
the most prominent positions on i'm
port COMMITTEES.

WAGES OF LABORING MEN.

It is said in behalf of the working
men that many of them can hardly
make both ends meet with the wages
which are paid them. But how is this
accounted for? 1t is estimated by
good calculators, that from four to five
hundred million dollars are yearly ex-
pended by working men for intoxicat-
ing drinks. While labor is throwing
away annually this vast amount of
money, by what show of consistency
can it plead for sympathy The mil.
lions yearly squandered for strong
drinks, would provide for the necessi-
ties of every working mans family,
decently cloth them, take care of the
sick, the aged and orphans, educate all
the children, put comfort and indie
pendancy in the homes Of untold
thousands Of wretched families. 1t
cannot truthfully be said that this sad
condition of society is beyond the con-
troll of the working men; they have it
in their power to drive out the leeches
who extract the earnings of industry,
and impoverish the people. Where
would the liquor saloon he to day if the
patronage of the working men were
withdrawn? AS graphically described
in the Atlantic Monthly, the saloon
stiles progress, keeps politics corrupt
fosters pauperism, brutalizes husbands
and fathers, breaks w0men's hearts
puts rags on the workingman's back
disease in bis body, shame and dispail
in his heart. Yet VIXEN labor is most
depressed and the cry for increase OF
wages loudest, and strikes most fire..
quent; when hunger is most rife in the
homes ofithe laboring men, the saloon
still fourishes. There may be nc
bread at home, bat there is always beef
and whisky in the saloon; the men
who consider themselves the victims
of circumstances. and who complain
of the expressions of capital, squandel
their savings and earnings in these
dens and help them to do a thriving
business. Can there be serious labor
question while this state of things con
tinues? Can working men talk grave
ly of their wrongs, while it is plain te
all the world, that If they saved the
capital they earn they would be com

any harm afterward." Sometimes a
member found an elegant suit of
clothes hanging over a chair by his
bedside in the morning and sometimes
relative would be presented with
neat little house"
Another popular method was for
member to receive a package by ex-
press from Troy, or some other city
near by. This package always con-
tanned a certain sum of money and it
was always arranged that one of the
lobby should be with the legislator
when the package came to hand. No
receipt was ever taken by the sender
In his real name, but the receiver gave
the express company one, in his real
name. So we had all the evidence we
needed, and the receiver dared not go
back on the compact. which the trans.
action covered. From that moment he
sO6s at the mercy of the lobby"
:" LII our tactics failed, and temper
ance laws were passed, we went home
to defeat their execution. The officers
designated to execute these laws were
generally elected. If by ourselves it
was all right, if by our opponents, we
had to buy them up, and few were
found who would not take bride"
Thus. by their own confessions, it
will be seen that they do not hesitate
to bride legislation to enter into con-
spiracies, ard commit other state
prison cnences to carry their points
Such crimes are characteristic of the
traffic.
Another writer says: Although the
liquor lobby during the last forty years
has used millions of dollars IN corrupt
bargaining and bribery, and has never
made secret of the fact, yet no mem
Der was ever caught in the act, and il
is fair to presume no one ever will be.
THERE'S no way so dark they cannot
find their road through" Thus does
the liquor power corrupt public morals
and defeat the popular will. Comment
is unnecessary. d.
