\ Decided Advantage
The Madison DEMOCRAT.


Governor RuSk has succeeded ut
last IN getting settlement with the
United states and the balance of the
direct war tax levied upon the state in
1861 has been settled up and claims
due the state. which go To the school
fund, Ia the amount of little over
100000, will be paid over To the state.
The people viii be glad To know that
this settlement has been effected for
more reasons than one. II is the last
contribution of the state 10 the war
and Wisconsin will now stand with
as good Il record rs any state in this
respect. Then the government will in
future pay over without delay the
sums due the school fund for the sale
of lands as there will be no more OFF
sets. The governor claims goodly
share of credit for his work and he is
entitled to it for it has been before
him ever since he came into Office and
had been struggling through several
preceding administrations. Governor
Rusk has worked on this matter with
more diligence than any of his pred
ecessors, but he may have had lit
tie advantage over any of his prede-
cessors in finally getting the matter
before a business-like democratic ad-
ministration at Washington, where
business is ratified off in business
like manner

II is gratifying to know that the
great education bill that has passed
the senate has but a very poor prospect
of becoming Il law. The bill would
draw about $19.oO0,OOO from the
national treasury. and for this reason
alone it is favored by those who would
reduce the surplus revenue by eX-
travagant appropriations rather than
by reduction of taxation. This
element is responsible for most of the
steals pushed through congress during
the past ten or dozen wears. And
although II still eXertS powerful in
tluence over the senate il has lost its
grip on the lower house, to certain
extent at least No better evidence of
the wholesome change in sentiment in
this regard which has taken place in
congress is the strong opposition which
the Blair education bill receives from
the house committee Besides, there
is a plain. old fashioned democrat in
the presidential chair, who would in
all probability, interpoSe veto if nee
rssary to prevent such an unwarranted
depletion of the treasury.

He stood for some time watching Beatrice.
Now that he had found her he tremhled at

what he had to say to her, what she had to

assurance that he had only sought her,

Many tariff rcformers are dispfeaSed
with the Morrison bill, on account of
the slight reductions for which it pro-
yides. They should consider that it
cannot be expected that the senate will
agree TO anything more than very
moderate reduction of duties, even
if it should agree to any reduction at
all And therefore it is best for the
house to prepare homeopathic dose
Of tariff reform, which there is some

pathic dose can he prescribed.

THE TRUTH AT LAST.

THE TRUTH AT LAST
Carruthers reached Munich late at night.
BE went straight to that comfortable hotel
he -Four Seasons, and, feeling that tho
aour was too late to begin his researches,
,upped and went to bed. In spite of his ex-
element at the thought of being in the same
town as Beatrice, be slept soundly. Man is
out mortal, and after travelling as fast as Is
possible from London TO Munich, it takes a
great deal to spoil nights rest. So in the
morning Carruthers arose refreshed and

4 BIG FIRE At SHULLSBUR G.
4 Large Block of Business Building
Completely DESTROYED.

We copy the following account of
the fire which occurred at ShullSburg
on Sunday last from an extra sent out
by The Democratic Register. of Oar
lington:
SuULLsBURG, Wis, March 18th
About O'Clock this morning fire broke
out in the Buena Vista Saloon, owned
by William Leamy. The building was
a frame structure, with bowling alley
attached Scarcely had the alarm been
sounded before the flames broke out,
and an attempt to save the building or
stock was useless. People came run
ming from the churches, residences,
and all parts of the village, and eagerly
entered into the contest with the fiery
tiend. From Leamy's building the
fire spread to Koppi's building, occu-
pied by James Brennan, for a harness
shop. The stock was mostly saved
but the building is nearly a total loss.
From here the fire communicated to
Millers shoe store, and the building
was quickly made a prey to the fire
demon. Then Carey's grocery store,
on the corner, fell victim to the in
satiate cravings of the fire demon.
BY the most persistent, heroic efforts
on the part of the citizens the fire was
checked here The wonder is that the
whole business portion of the village
was not destroyed. The street is mar
row, and the fire district completely
surrounded by frame structures. The
following is an estimate of the loss
William Leamy, loss on building and
stock $500; William koppi, loss on
building, $500; James Brennan. dam
age to stock, 800; Miller, loss on
building and stock, $1,000; Carey, loss
on building and stock, $500. No in
