appointment of Democrats who had
hoped that the vigorous and bitter
campaign of the Prohibitionists
would place them in the offices.
There was no reason why the third
partyites should have made special
effort in Maine this fall except to
show their power to smash things.
The Democrats met at Madison
Yesterday and nominated a state
ticket, putting one G.. M. Woodward
at the head, balance of ticket com
posed of strangers, men willing TO
fill the gap. But little enthusiasm
was manifested--a spiritless assem-
blage. Postmaster General Villas,
although at home, did not show his
countenance before the convention.
GRANT Co. Democrat. The choice
of the Democrats of this district for
nominee for congress is unquestion-
ably Burr w. Jones. We under
stand that he will not accept the
nomination. The second choice we
believe is J. M. Smith, of Mineral
Point. He is not anxious to run
and may absolutely decline. Hugh
Gallagher is the first choice of
great many Democrats Of the dis
trct and we understand he is desir-
Gus to make the run. He will prob
ably be the nomi nee at Darlington.

Only Did His Duty.

The rivals of Governor Rusk say,
he only did his duty in his admins
traton. We fear tn ones who
make thi 5 statement do so without
sufficient deliberation. A very
small portion of the virtue embraced
in the execution of the functions of
public office, consists in simply
performing duty; but the service
of greatest value to be performed, is
in discovering and formulating that
duty. The men who built the
Brooklyn bridge, the grandest arch
itectural achievement of this age,
only did their duty when they labor
ed ten hours for "A couple of dollars,
while many of these builders of the
bridge were 30 untutOred in mathe-
MATES and the science of architec-
ture, that they were unable to dis
tinguish the difference between the
hypothenuse Of a right angle TRAN
gle and the periphery of a rattail
file. Yet these men all did their
duty and built the bridge, which
stands to-day a monument of the
wonders of science. We look be-
yond the labors of those toiling,
honest men who drove the bolts and
welded the wrench, to discover who
devised the plan and computed the
strength, the weight and the crush
ing power of the material, The
public officer is held responsible,
both for the performance of his
duty and the discovery of what his
duty is. Gov. Rusk has not only
performed his whole duty since he
has occupied the executive office of
the state of Wisconsin, but he has
been the happy discoverer of more
duties to be performed by COVER
nor than the executive of any OF our
neighboring states. Gov. Rusk's
rivals and even enemies all give him
credit for importing valuable execu-
tive lessons to other states, yet they
claim that any other governor could
do the same things. 1t may, at a
venture, perhaps, be conceded that
some other man who might be
elected governor of Wisconsin,
would do Just as Gov. Rusk has done,
but unfortunately for these might
be governors, there is at present no
Jobs on hand of the same kind-the
last order has been filled and sent
out, and the work was so eminently
satisfactory, that it is not expected
there will be any more jobs of the
kind requiring the governors skill
during the remainder Of his official
life, even though it should be pro-
longed indefinitely. But in case
some other man might be elected
governor, these peculiarly curious
citizens who didn't think GOV. Rusk
was loaded, would be pretty apt to
get up breeze to blow in the muz-
zle to see if there was any danger

Easing the Burden.

If any one particular class has
been benefited more than another
in this state by the administration
of Gov. Rusk, it has been the class
recognized as laborers. In The
world of industries there are three
kinds of laborers: The farmer, the
artizan and the wageworker These
three classes comprise the laborers
of the country, and they pay more
direct taxes to the state than all
others combined. Whatever Gov.
Rusk has done during his term OF
office to ease this direct tax burden,
has been done for the proximate
benefit of the laborirg class. Econ
omy of expenditures in the state
government has been so well OBJ
served, that no state tax tor usual
state expenses was levied last year
and none will be levied this year
MIR. Rusk's critics say that railroad
and insurance fees have so increased
as to render the state tax unnecessa-
nv, and that it should not be ascribed
to the wisdom of his administration.
If the views of these critics be cor
rect, we can but observe remark
able coincidence in the fact that a
wise and economical state admins
tration has provoked large revenues
from unexpected sources; and 1t is
therefore no fault of Gov. Rusk, and
his critics ought not to blame him
for the increased revenue from rail
roads and insurance companies,
for fear they might make trouble
for themselves when they get ready
to arraign him as the friend of cor
porations and monopolies. Just
following this state tax absolution,
comes another Gov. Rusk puzzle, to
which we invite the early attention
of his critics, and will await with
much anxiety their solution, hoping

When Mr.. Thurman sent the foregoing
request to the Attorney-G General in 1879,
he spoke not only for himself but for four

WASHINGTON, March 15.-This morn
ing a fireman at Wizards Hotel went to
the room occupied by Representative
Michael Hahn, of Louisiana, at 8 o'clock
to attend the fire. He was shocked TO
find Mr.. Hahn stretched upon the floor
dead, in a pool Of blood. The frightened
fireman hastily fled from the room and
reported to the hotel Office that Mr.. Hahn
had cut his throat and killed himself.
The hotel employees had the door of the
room secured and sent for the coroner.
The coroner, who soon appeared, made
an examination, which showed that the
death resulted from hemorrhage of the
lungs.
MIR. Hahn was q man of delicate phy.
sique' and had been i'll for some time
with lung trouble. He has appeared
about the hotel, but has not been at the
capitol for a fortnight.

IT seems that the papers on file in the
departments which President Cleveland
will not suffer the Senate Committee to
inspect are not so inviolable but that
Democratic Senators can withdraw them
at pleasure and use the information gain
ed from them in executive session. This
apparently, is a frequent and familiar
procedure in the Postofice Department.

his so-called private and confidential pa
pcrs when Democratic instead of Repub,
