AN old soldier writing to the Oshkosh
Times, says Bill Price has been writing
to different parties to learn what Gen
eral Bragg said in reference to pensions in
some political speeches delivered during
the last campaign. Prices object is to
make it appear that Bragg is hostile to
the soldiers. The writer then says that
at one time Price argued that the "union
soldiers stood in the same relation to the
government that tho men he hired to
work in the woods did to him. He paid
them and there the obligation ended.
Later Price found that it was polite to
advocate pensions and he became pro-
fessed friend of the soldier. The man
ner in which Price escaped the draft is
then told.
Nothing better illustrates the state of
sickly sentiment into which patriotism
has sunk than Prices posing as the SOL
dier's friend and trying to make it appear
that Bragg is opposed to doing justice to
his former comrades. General Bragg is
not demagogue. trickster and pro-
fessional politician, and all these Price
Is, together with being hypocrite and a
blackguard. He advocates pension bills
to win the support of the soldier and it
does not make particle of difference to
him whether the bill has merit or not.
1t makes capital for him and this is what
he is after, not to better the condition of
the dessrvi ig old soldier. He loves the
soldier for his vote, not for his service in
the field. he understands human ma
ture and human weakness. and he knows
just the means by which he can inerati
ate himself with the old soldiers. In
these piping times of peace" and senti
mentality, Price is ten times the patriot
Bragg is. While Bragg was fighting,
Price WAS spewing out profanity in the
lumber woods, enlarging his vocabulary of
billingsgate and acquiring mastery of the
kind of invective suited to the rough
camps among the pines. Now he is the
special champion of the soldier whose pro.
fession he looked upon with such little
favor when to be soldier was to stand in
dangers way. And this man is gathering
up material to prove Bragg an enemy to
the soldierl Gods benson on the soldier
who turns his back on Bragg and follows
Price. There are such; there are many
OF them. They can hardly be held back
from laying violent hands on JEFF Davis
to day.

TIE London papers find that the riots
Ia Chicago were due to Irish influences.
This is how Irish history is made, based
upon malicious misrepresentation and &C
cepted as gospel. There was not an
Ifishman among the rioters. On the
contrary every man who fell on the side
of law in the struggle against the anarch-
lists was an Irishman. There were no
misleading reports upon which the Lon
don press might come to the conclusion
these were Irish riots. For some unac-
oounssble reason the ''intelligsntrsporter
did not make burly rioter speak in the
Mhesian brogue. It was pure, unadul-
terated lying on the part OF the English
press and designed to injure the pros
poets of home rule. Put it down to the
Irish; they have grown accustomed to
Misrepresentation.

To Guardians
The law makes it the duty of every Guardian
of all the doings of such guardian under the
trust imposed upon him. The law in this re-
gard has been sadly neglected.
The law, as contained in Sec. 1865, Revised
Statutes of 1875 reads as follows:
Section $3.50. Before appointing any person
guardian of q minor, the court shall require
such person to give bond to the minor, in such
sum and with such sureties rs the court shall
designate and approve.
l. To make true inventory of all the pro-
perry real and personal. of his ward that shall
come tohis possession or knowledge, and TO re-
turn the same into the county curt of the proper
2. To dispose OF and manage all such estate
according to law and for the best interests of
the ward and faithfully to discharge his trust
in relation thereto, and also when required in
relation TO the care, custody and education of
the ward;
B. To render an account on oath of the prop-
erty, real and personal, of the ward in his
hands and all proceeds or interest derived there
from, and OF the management and disposition
of the same, within one year after his appoint
ment, and annually thereafter, and at such
other times as the proper court shall direct;
4. At the expiration of his trust to settle his
accounts with the county court or with the
ward If he be of full age, or his legal represen-
tatives, and to pay over and deliver ali the
property, real and personal, remaining in his
nanus or due from HIM on such settlement, to
the person lawfully entitled thereto.
The provisions of this act will be strictly en-
forced. CARL II. SCHMIDT,

1T is rarely you find man these day
who dares to speak kind word for th,
strikers. Public opinion is now preju-
diced against the striking laborer bsyone
all reason. The anarchists were hardl,
more blood-thirsty than are the people
| now. For the human fends who plsr
murder, violation of law, destruction O.
| property and social disturbance Their.
can be no advocates, nor can they b.
dealt with too severely. If the law needs
straining to compass their punishment
let it be bent. They would overthrow
law; let them have foretaste of wha
they would bring about.
But the laborer who strikes for higher
wages or shorter hours is not an anarch.
list. It is not proper for him to refuse te
allow another laborer to take the place
he has left; still he acts only in accor-
dance with custom of which he is the
victim, practiced by his employer. Let
us be just to the laborer, not make the
law punishment for him and protec.
ton to his employer.
Strikes may be said to exist in three
degrees of increasing apprehension:
o. A refusal to work longer on pres
ent terms.
CO. A refusal to allow other men to
taks the places vacated by them.
g. Destruction of the property of the
employers.
The last needs no consideration; it is
condemned by every one and is the re-
suit Of passion and mob excitement. 1t
is not done deliberately nor is it the work
of any considerable number of the strik.
ing laborers.
No one will deny the right of the Ia
borer to quit working if he feels tina. he
is not adequately compensated for hi.
services. The employer discharges him
if he feels he does not earn his wages.
But it will be said the laborer has no
business to induce others to quit work
ing. Why do employers combine to fix
scales of wages2 Why do they combine
to fix prices on certain articles imposing
a penalty upon any member of the com
bination which sells for less than the
price agreed upona Why have the en-
ployers the right to combine and it be
crimi nal for workmen to do sol Why do
railroad companies form pools so a, to
keep up charges for transportation Is
the shipper allowed to profit by compe.
ti.ion?
But the strikers refuse to permit men
who are willing to work, to do So Truly.
and railroad corporations break down the
Independent road which refuses to ioin
their pool. The company which refuses
to enter the combination formed to keep
rates up, is crushed out. 1t is boycotted.
LIS it then proper for railroads to do that
which is criminal when done by laborers?
Look at the protective tariff. The
laborer is not permitted to purchase goods
where he can get them cheapest Why
should the manufacturer be permitted to
hire bis labor in the cheapest market
There is not thing the striker has been
guilty of that has not its archetype in
the acts OF employers.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE suffer in silent
patience from diseases of the bladder.
If there is anything more distressing
among chronic diseases, medical litera-
ture has not yet revealed it. A news
paper is no place in which to describe
the particulars of this agony. Every
victim knows it for himself, but every
victim does not know what thousands
have testified to; that when all other
remedies fail, they have been restored to
health by means of Warmers safe cure.
This great specific corrects the action OF
the kidneys, drives the uric acid irritant
from the blood, reduces the congestion,
and after thorough course of treatment
the formation of mucus ceases, the
elasticity of the bladder returns and
health and happiness are regained.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. II, 1SS5.-In
April, 1881. my daughter was taken sick
with complication of symptoms. She
continued to grow worse under the best
medical treatment. Only temporary i'm
provement. Had relapse, grew rapidly
worse, and at this time, had palpitation
of the heal, intense pain in the head,
nervous dyspepsia, and physicians said,
catarrh of tho bladder. She fell away
from 135 pounds to less than eighty.
Began to use Warmers safe cure and
Warmers safe pills, together with Warn
er's Safe Nervine. In ten days she was
much better, and in 100 days after she
gained fifty pounds in weight, and was
restored to good health.-JOSEPH HI.

Gov. RUsK's promptness is in striking
contrast with Mayor Wallber's vacillstion.
But there has altogether too much of an
ado been made over what the governor
did. The city of Chicago had q more
dangerous mob to handle but no militia
were called. The police of that city
quelled the riots and in every instance
where they came 10 contact with the mob,
no matter what the odds IN numbers, the
police did their duty.
As yet the excitement caused by the
riot has not subsidized and men are not
yet capable of judging coolly. There
was an unreasoning thirst for the blood
of strikers. Had it been the blood of
Grottkau and his associates the instinct
would be almost divine. But the poor
ignorant mob. out of work, conscious OF
having acted foolishly, excited by the
recollection of wrongs, incapable OF any
preconcerted movement deserved pity
more than death. There is absolutely
no justification for the slaughter of these
men at Bay View. Most of those killed
were Polacks and the Polack is poor,
friendless and ignorant. His rioting
could not be tolerated and it was safe
proceeding to shoot him down. There
is no man of sense who will believe the
reports of that mob's being aimed with
scythes and cudgels. Where did they
get the scythes and what did they hops
to do with them? Tear down the factor.
les, which was their avowed purpose il
the reports be correct? Are scythes sc
plentiful these days that mob could arm
themselves with them? The men armed
with these formidable weapons were
more dangerous to their comrades thar
to the militia. There can be no doub
that few of the heavy canes which
workmen carry constituted the cudgeli
with which this formidable band was
armed. The poor, ignorant, deceived
crowd was fired upon when they came
within sight of the militia. The Officer
in charge motioned twice to them to hal
and because they did not obey thi.
gesture murderous volley was poured
in on them. Forty of the Chicago polio,
| could get among that crowd with theil
clubs and cause it to dispense. The
militia fired at long range, killing boy.
and people at their own doorsteps. Il
is proper that law should be respected
it is likewise proper that human life
should not be lightly taken nor murde
committed under the form of law.
Had that mob been made up largely o
Germans or Americans, the investigation
would reveal facts which would detrac
greatly from the glory won by the militi'
in firing at long range upon body o
defenseless people incapable of Offering
any resistance. But the Polack is poor
not in such numbers as to inspire feal
and in very few cases is he raised allow
want. He is just the man for the either
soldiery to make war on. There is no
the least danger. His spirit has beel
broken at home by oppression ant
poverty keeps him in bondage here
There is no safer man in the union tt
shoot at. He can be murdered and tn,
deed be described as heroic.
