The Grant County HERALD of last
week suggests the nama of Hon. G. w.
Byland for the Office of lieutenant
governor of this state, Should society
in Wisconsin fail in the progress of its
development to reach that degree of
enlightenment whereby, at the next
election, it could choose some worthy
Democrat for the Office named, then
we could heartily indorse the HERALp's
suggestion. Mr.. Ryland is courteous,
high-minded gentlemen; neither proud
nor servile in his intercourse with
others. It's a pity he is not Democrat,
but as he is, he is of the best of Repub-
licans, and eminently worthy Of the
position named.-Dodgepille SHn.

Point Tribune
The semi-weekly HERALD. of Lancas-
ter, opened its eyes to the sweet light
for the first time this week. 1t is a
five-column folio, artistically printed,
and full of interesting reading matter.
The cause of its birth is stated to be for
the reason that the HERALD as here
tofore was too small to accommodate
the growing ambition and needs of its
editor and readers. -DodgeOlle Sun.
The Grant County HERALD comes to
us this week as a semi-weekly This
forward movement shows a spirit of en-
terprise on the part of Mr. Chandler

agement of the entire county. -Monttort

The proprietor of the HERALD, with
characteristic push has enlarged the re-
liable old four-page standby, and it now
appears to gladden. its many readers, as
six-page, nine-column paper, full to

never grow less. -Bosc0bel Dial.
The old Grant County HERALD, pub
lished at Lancaster, Wis, came to us
last week enlarged to large six-page
paper, brim-full of home and general
news. To-day we received the first copy
of Il new, semi-weekly edition, and here
after that paper win be issued semi
weekly, at the same price of the old
weekly edition. The HERALD is one of
the very best papers published in Wis
consin, and is among the most valued of
our exchanges. We are glad to note

The Lancaster HERALD appeared as a
siX-page paper last week, containg fifty
four long columns which formed an EN-
barrassing richness and variety of Grant
County, state and foreign news, cores
pondence, editorial and choice miscel-
lany. This mammoth sheet was not
filled by the diluting or spreading out
process, nor by resorting to easy re-
source of mere sensational gossip, but by
solid, sensible news that would have

to say that Senator Blair, of New Jer-

In the trial of Maxwell for the murder
of Preller, in ST. Louis, the testimony
against Maxwell is very damaging. A
detective named Mccullough testified
that he caused himself to be put in jail
with Maxwell on a pretended charge of
forgery, and that Maxwell confessed the
murder to him and employed him to
communicate with some Of his supposed
gang and get two witnesses to testify
that Maxwell had several hundred dol
lars in Boston, and 50 did not need to
kill Preller to get money to 90 to New
Zealand. Maxwell claimed that he adj
ministered chloroform to Preller to OPP
crate on him for certain disease, and
that Preller died from the effects of
the chloroform and was hidden in the
trunk by Maxwell because the latter was
afraid he could not prove his innocence.
The doctors who examined the corpse
testify that Preller had no such disease
as Maxwell mentioned

and an impressive delivery, and we
have heard many expressions Of COM

heard it.
After the oration the choir sang again

While placing their garlands on the
marble shafts, they sang the following
lines:
Again the Springs soft sunshine
Falls o er the silent graves.
Where peacefully are sleeping
Our heroes true and brave,
Our heroes true and brave
No bugle-call shall wake them,
Their weary marches oer
Nor hercest storm of battle
Break on their SAUNDERS more
Though dead they're unforgotten,
Their glorious deeds We sing,
And IN commemOration
Our floral offerings bring.
We wreathe the marble pillars
That bear their honOred names,
With flowers that grow the purcr
To match their stainless fame,
To match their stainless fame.
The dear old flag they fought for
Waves in the Summer air;
The country that they died for
Is now serene and fair.
Hail then our soldier heroes,
Your glorious deeds we sing
And in cOmmemoration
Our floral offerings bring.
Blow then, wandering bree2es.
And bear to every land
The story OF redemption
Wrought by our martyr band,
Wrought by our martyr band.
Sing all ye birds of summer,
In chorus loud and long.
And celebrate their valOr
In Overlooking song.
Though dead they're unfOrgOtten,
Their glorious deeds we sing,
And in commemoration
Our floral offerings bring.

THE TIERNAN ROAD.

The Globe-Democrat OF Tuesday
says that the construction work on the
ST. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado
railroad is being pushed with consid-
cradle yigor. Between Forsyth juno
ton and Tavern Rock a force of 200
men are engaged grading the road bed
and lowering several of the deep cuts.

the frost is out of the ground the old
track will be taken up and replaced

that has been accomplished it is eX-

put on To run between the city and
Clayton. From the county seat west
the construction aud track-laying is to

A clipping rejecting on Judge Siuss
in connection with congressional mat
ters found its way into Our columns
last evening without knowing any
thing about il until after the paper
was out and distributed. We are
greatly yexed at the appearance of the
item in this paper. Judge Sluss has
no warmer friend or admirer than the
editor of this paper. He Is man of
ability and of the highest character
There is no position in the gift of the
people of Kansas that is too good for
him.
AT the same time Mr.. Slnss is not a
candidate for any official position.
He prefers to devote his time TO his
profession. We stated our belief of
this when he resigned the judgeship.
Since then he has assured us that we
were correct. In a conversation with
the writer recently he expressed his
high regard for Judge Peters, and
gave us to understand that he favored
his denomination. Ii must be very
annoying to him TO be dragged into
print so often rs an aspirant for a
place for which we know he is not a
candidate.-Newton Republican

SENATOR pLUMB,s LAND BILL

Senator Plumb has recently intro
duced a bill in the senate, which will. if
il becomes law, prevent foreign cap
iialis:s and Others not citizens of the
United States, from holding or acquir-
ing real estate in any of the territories
of the United States or District of CO.
lumbia. except in such cases when the
same is acquired in good faith in the
ordinary course Of justice in the col
lection of debts.
The bill also provides that no corpo-
ration. other than those organized
tor the construction or operation of
railways, canals or turnpikes shall ac-
quire, hold or own over 5000 acres of
land in any of the territories OF the
United States, and further that none
of these corporations shall hereafter
purchase or acquire lands in the terri
tories except where il is absolutely
necessary for the proper operation Of
railways, canals or turnpises.
The most Important feature OF this
measure Is the protection il throws
around American citizens by prohibit
ing foreign capitalists from specializing
in large tracts of the public domain set
apart by congress for homesieads for
actual settlers. Ii will meet the hearty
approval of the people, and will stop
the seizure of lands b, foreigners who
are accommodating fortunes in these
ions.-Leavenworth Times.

A GREAT hulIabaloo has been made
in the newspapers, during the past
week, about Congressman Hanback,
being drunk and msding spectacle of
himself on the floor of congress. The
The whisky he got drunk on. was
probably the same kind that Grant
used in the early part of the war, and
that Lincoln hoped more of the gener-
ais would use. The spectacle Han
back made for himself, was offering a
resolution To investigate the scandal
Gus jobbery of the Democratic cabinet
officers. The democrats thought that
the best way TO break the force of the
assaults was TO break down Hanback,.
The Democratic papers were sharp
enough TO remember the fact that
large portion of Kansas Republicans
are looney on the subject of prohibit
ton and rightly calculated that If they
could create the impression that Han
back was drunk, il would finish his
career. They therefore raised the
howl, and thus far the ruse is working
well.-Kapsas Chief.

details the results of a legal struggle
over the opening of a street at Carlyle,
Illinois. Ii says:
The damage and trespass suit OF
Peter Schmidt versus Town of Han

Jones here to-day. Ii appears Schmidt
had been notified by the town authori-
ties 90 open a street which he had
fenced across without authority.
Schmidt did not heed the notice, and
the town council caused the street
TO be opened. regardless of his wishes.
In opening the street il was necessary
10 cut a section of about two feet oil
Schmidt's barn. which INSTRUCTED the
passageway. The expense incurred in
opening the street, amounting TO
about $500, was charged 10 Schmidt.
which he refused TO pay. The jury
after four hours wrangle. decided
