RING RULE.

An old resident of Dodge county,
staunch Democrat and an estimable Ger
man-American citizen, most graphically
describes the ''fne work" the dodge
county gang" have been doing for years
at the expense of the taxpayers of Dodge
county. Seeking to emulate old Bill
Tweed, the ring politicians of Dodge
county have not only controlled the of
fees, but have insisted on taxing the
people to pay their campaign .ex penses,
and to support their satellites and hangers
on.
Under the manipulation of the political,
ring that has fastened itself on this DEM
ocratic stronghold, the taxes raised for
county purposes only have jumped during
The ten years they have been in powe
from $4,000 per annum to $67, 500 PEI
annum, an increase of .forty.two Mousanl
fire hundred dollars per year. The
people of Dodge county have not onl,
begun to see, but to feel in the innermost
recesses of their pocket books, that it is
expensive to be compelled to support
political ring.
The startling fact is also stated, which
has heretofore been adverted to in these
columns, that when a tool of the ring
found himself in hot water with the dreary
prospect of a term in states prison before
him, a cheap and economical mode OF
acquittal was found in the destruction by
fire of the buildings containing the pub
lie records. Had Bill Tweed had the
courage and cunning of these ringsters
he might to-day have been the richest
and most accomplished scoundrel in the
country.
Let Joe Mackin take courage and study
the methods of Dodge county politicians.

he is not, then it is time to say good by
to patriotism and country.


Just now the question of whether thu
Democratic or Republican party shal
rule this country is in the foreground. 7,
most of the women who did so much il
war times to encourage the soldiers th
same question is very important. It's 81
important that to many men it becomes
almost question of patriotism. The
poor fellows who toiled year after year
with their lives in their hands, who bore
uncomplainingly all the trials and suffer-
ings of army life, who went into the
battle without finching and who came
out of it in too many cases mangled and
crippled, earnestly BELIEVING that the
safety of this country depends on the
Republican party remaining in power
until the National idea is firmly
fixed in the minds of the people.
The men who stood with Abraham
Lincoln, the men who came into power
with the hero of Appomattox, and the
men who gave the best of their lives to
the problems that were to bring the Ma
ton away from the troubles of the war
and to start it in the way the fathers in
tended it should go still honestly believe
that Lincoln and Grant and Garfield were
right, and that the leaders who now di-
rect the Democratic party were and are
now wrong. It is neither kindness nor
justice to speak lightly of the convictions
or the performances OF these men. They
are welded to the idea of building up .he
American Nation. They are welded to
the political system which preserved the
Union, and are opposed to the political
system that encourages destructive OF
disintegrating tendencies. Some of them.

Others ore not. But when the question.
of the country, of the Nation, of good
government or bad comes up they are not
so far apart but that they can JOIN hands.

ABOUT MR.. TILDEN.

A good deal was said in this locality
when Mr.. Tilden was active In politics
about his having wrecked the Ft, Wayne
Railroad, and grown rich from the
wreckage. OF course 1t was campaign
fabrication, and now that Mr.. Tilden
Is dead we observe those who have the
knowledge to speak authoritatlyeiy, are
ready to do him justice. Better late
than never. Mr.. John Il, Hampton, who
has been familiar with Mr.. Tilden's
work on the Ft. Wayne for over thirty
years, in an interview In an afternoon
paper, instead of indorsing the wreck
ing story, explains that Mr.. Tilden's
wise policy when he bought In the road
saved The property and made 1t Z per
cent. investment to the stockholders.
1T was wise thing" says Mr.. Hsmp-
ton, "and Mr.. Tilden should receive
credit for the part he took In the mat
ter" Certainly, even If 1t is deferred
credit. United States Treasurer Canda,
of New York, speaking Of Mr.. Tilden's g
connection with railroads, says:
"Mr. Tilden was interested in large
number Of roads, especially In those of
the West. Indeed, In my estimation.
Mr.. Tilden was the father of the re-
organization of these Western railways.
And yet he never went into them In q
speculating spirit. While incidentally
his connection with them yielded him
large returns, his labOrs, as he knew
they must, will rather benefit future
generations. The Chicago, Alton & ST..
Louis, the Northwestern & Chicago and
many other roads were rescued from
apparently complete failure by his
efforts"
At one time, it has been seated, after
great financial revulsiOn, Mr.. Tilden
was counsel for nearly every important
railway east Of the Mississippi river. To
perfect the reorganization Of the Fort
Wayne railroad, he secured needed leg
islatiOn from the Legislatures of nine
States.
Governor Tilden's power as o political
organizer has heen much commented
on. He said once to q friend Of ours
that efficient and successful political
work laid In three things: l. Find out
and locate the voter; g Educate him by
oral and printed argument; and 3, see
that he voted. With this belief he in
trOduced novel plan, to which much
of his influence and much of his knowl-
edge of the drift of public opinion may
be attributed. He collected the names
of notable Democrats In his State out,
side Of New York and Brooklyn. OF
these be gathered $4,000, and with them
he kept In constant correspondence.
Each was his firm supporter and friend,
and through them he was able to feel
the pulse Of the people with an accurs-
cy that was astonishing. He always
said that In politics the people were the
power, and the expenditure Of money
hurt the party which used 1t. But he
believed In most liberal expenditure in
educating the voter. He had faith in
printers lnk,-[P,tjsbUrg Post.

VETOES.

OF the measures vetoed by the Presi

seventy-seven bills o. the House. Twen,
tyeight Of the Senate bills vetoed were
private pension bills, three were for the

walton in northern Montana, one to

claimed within a specified time after
death, shall be turned over to the med
ical colleges, and one to quiet title to
settlers on the Des MOines river lands,
and one to provide for the construction
Of bridge over Lake Htamplain.
