AN OLD COLLEGE.

Harvard College, Mass, celebrated
its one hundred and fftieth anniyersa-
ry on Sunday last. The attendance on
the occasion was immense. The exer-
cises were continued on Monday, and
were participated in by many distin-
guished public men and clergymen of
different denominations. Rev. Phillip
Brooks, the eloquent clergyman of
Boston. preached the sermon on Mon
day. He traced the progress of the
college from its narrow theologic be-
ginnings to its present broad christian
ity, which recognizes the brotherhood
of all true christians.

DECLINE OF LITIGATION,

1t is generally conceded throughout
the country that there is decline in
litigation. Court calendars haVeJa less
number of cases for trial than FORMER
ly, which indicates that othefS mean.
are resorted to for settlement, Of differ.
ences outside of the courts. The police
courts in the cities afford a cheap and
expeditions mode for the settlement of
many cases without requiring the
services of lawyers or juries. Re.
suits are reached by settlement more
frequently than heretofore. phere is a
steady decline of the litigatious spirit:
almost every aspect of cases which now
arise have been adjudicated i'm the
courts, and whoever has cause for
litigation can find an example how
like cases have been determined in the
courts. Those who believe they have
just cause for an action can find pre-
cedents how similar cases have been
determined; therefore, if wise, will not
go to law, expecting the court to re-
verse the decisions in 5likea eases,
Another reason for the deEifneGt lit
CATION is that ''going to law'giRas be-
come unpopular. If a.arespectable
farmer or business man now COM
mences suit in court it creates a sur
prise; and, unless it be ifoundsthat he
had unavoidable reason for resorting
to legal tribunal, it reflects dlscredit
upon him. 1t is within the. memory
Of people now living when "going to |
law" was made business bysome
men; they always had one or more law
suits on their hands, and although it |
was losing business, yet they had !
mania for it not unlike the passion for
gambling. Litigation in this state |
night almost wholly be dispensed with !

1t is an easy matter to be mistaken.
Before the county convention was held
some crafty politicians remarked, in re-
gard to the denomination of County,
Treasurer, that the main reason for
the contemplated dropping him out
was, that he was able to do so little
for the success CT the ticket at large;
that he was a "dead weight"
Neither the result in the convention
nor in the election sustained the rem ark,
for, out of SO votes in the former, 80
were cast in his favor, and in the cleo
ton his name led the ticket, polling the
highest vote, and scoring the heaviest
majority of any candidate on either
ticket by nearly 100, Notwithstanding
it was said that a certain click would
operate against him to pay off an old
grudge for having beaten their favorite
candidate two years ago.
Exclusive of County Superintendent
on which the city has no vote, the Re-
publicans elect four candidates and the
Democrats elect five. Assuming at
this writing that the returns of last
week were correct, the aggregate ma
jorities for the four Republican candi-
dates were 8S2, and for the five Demo-
Gratis, 4S8; including the County Super
intendent, the Republican aggregate
majorities were / ,427, the highest ma
jority being for Treasurer 444; high
est for Democratic candidate was for
Register of Deeds, $40.
If it is true, in the case of another
Republican candidate, that a certain
aspirant, disappointed at his failure to
receive the nomination, exerted his in
fluence to defeat his more fortunate
rival in the convention. it but exhibits
want of political principle, which Re
publican voters will be slow to over.
look, or would prove to be boomerang
il he should ever come before the peo-
pie again. If his political sun should
set, never to rise again, he would have
but himself to censure.
1t is an old Scotch adage that" the
best laid plans O mice and men oft
gang aglee," and so the trades and bar
gains made among aspirants are often
upset by the convention or the people.
Personal popularity may havea great
influence in favor of candidate, his
residence in particular section may
have the same specific purpose, but a
change of political sentiment or influ-
ence in individuals for the purpose of
revenge, or for paying off an old grudge.
but demonstrates want of political
honesty and reliability. It is the rule
or ruin policy.
1t has been surmised that the heavy
majority given by Racine for the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress was out
or revenge because Of the failure of
their favorite local Republican candi-
date to receive the nomination in the
convention which held such dead
lock some weeks since. We are reluc-
tant to believe that SO heavy Repub-
lican vote would have been cast for the
Democratic candidate for that pur-
pose alone; if so, We are disappointed
in the Republican sentiment of Racine.
The Democratic candidate was a man
of moral worth, of undoubted ability
and great local popularity.

HON. L. B. CASWELL.

Now that the election is over we can
but express qualification at the election
of Mr.. Caswell. We have no DISPOSE
ton to continue the strife, but only to
refer to the unjustifable efforts to de.
feat him. This city and county should
have done better. Walworth and Rock
are always reliable and saved the dis
trict. Racine did not do WELL. 1t was
well understood that there were defec-
tions in Racine after the Congressional
convention at Elkhorn, at which Ra-
cine's favorite candidate was defeated.
A Racine paper, after the nomination,
gave expression unfavorable to the
support of Caswell, and; Republican
citizens threatened opposition. It was
subsequently reported that the feeling
of antagonism to the nomination had
subsidized, but this evidently could not
have been the fact, for the Democratic
candidate, judging from the vote, must
have received large Republican sup
port in the city and county of Racine.
These Republicans had natural right
to withhold their support from Mr..
Caswell and bestow it on aDemocrat.
Whether that will De found good policy
in the end is not SO clear. Racine, two
years hence, will probably put in the
claim again for lakejshore candidate.
Perhaps such claim would be. more read

OF Rock and Walworth, would have

are not referred to to: create divisions ;
they are only campaign history. Po-
litical party consistency'is essential to
the success of any party.

WOMEN MAY VOTE.

The vote at the late election for an
amendment to the constitution to allow
women to vote on matters pertaining
to public schools has been carried.
The result of securing this privilege is
due to the efforts of the active women.
If this extension of suffrage works
well, as no doubt it will, having been
tried in this country and in England
for years, the women of Wisconsin
will take new courage and work for
still further suffrage rights.

HON. J. II. DOOLITTLE.

In justice to Judge Doolittle. we
cheerfully comply with the request to
correct statements which appeared in
some of the newspapers respecting his
speech to the crowd on Wednesday
evening after the election that assem-
bled to congratulate and serenade him
He was charged with claiming vic
tory before he was out of the woods"
This does injustice to the Judge. The
report of his speech taken at the time
makes no such claim. The speech was
carefully worded and left the question
of his election an uncertainty. A brief
extract may be taken as a specimen of
what he did say on the subject of his
election:
"And now, my fellow.citizens as I
bid you goodnight, / again thank YOU
from my heart of hearts, and say to
one and to all, should the full returns
show that l am elected. my purpose
will be, God helping me. to ill that
high and responsible Office to the very
best of my ability. And if these re-
turns shall show that am not elect
ed, my gratitude to each and every one
OF you will be no less sincere, though
my post of honor shall continue to be
the private station"
Judge Doolittle also did say that his
nomination was spontaneous on the
part of the people. and entirely UNI
sought for by him. Our relations with
Judge Doolittle have been too long
friendly to countenance any injustice
to him. Party differences are no bar
rier to his receiving the treatment due
a distinguished gentleman.

OLEOMARGARINE TAX.

The amount of tax collected the first

officials. The manufacture of this

sive than generally supposed, and of
course it has consumers who protest
the use of the article.

The present low price of sugar has
caused the suspension of several ex-
tensive refineries in st. Louis and other
places within a few weeks. throwing
several hundred men out of employ
ment. More than year ago many of
the sugar mills of Louisiana were closed
and sugar plantations devoted to rails
ing other products more profitable.
Sugar has not touched so low figure
since the war, nor for some years pre-
viOus, if ever, as at present. The con-
sequence has been that the better
grades have largely supplanted coarser
and lower-priced grades so extensively
used years ago. Granulated and other
find grades c,,a be bought at this time
at much lower figure than was paid
for the low grades of brown a few
years ago. The poorest families can
