tainly has reason to be proud of her
"Boy Congressman" The people
of the Sd congressional district will
do themselves honor by giving Mr..
LaFollette q second term.
THE n. Y. sun tDom.) July is, 1891
The S,m in an article headed
"Men of Mark in Congress-" says:
The boy of the house, Robert M.
LaFollette, of Wisconsin, is prom
ising Republican infant. He is Just
81 years of age He made one of
the best speeches of the session on
the river and harbor bill. OF course
he was against that big log-rolIing
job, as all intelligent aud progress
i've young men are.
Madison, Democrat, June 8, 1856.
Congressman LaFollette made a
speech to-day on the oleomargarine
bull, in which he made the point
that congress always exercised tax
ing powers under the general wei
fare clause of the constitution aud
to tax articles prejudicial to good
health aud morals, The opponents
of the oleomargarine bill had cor
nered Long, of Massachusetts, and
other Republicans, by making them
admit that this bill could pass only
as revenue measure, aud that we
were not in need of increased rev.
enue. Mr. AaFoIlette made an ex-
cellent argument which drew about
him half of the house, At the eX-
piration of his time, Randolph
Tucker took the floor and gave La
Toilette his time. The bill passed
by far larger vote than was eX-
pected.
lfloard's Dairyman, june |, 1851
There was one point made 10y Con
gresham LaFollette, of the Madi-
son district, III speech on the "oleo"
bill, that seems TO us about the
sou ndest and sharpest that we have
ever seen. 1t was in answer TO the
allegation that bogus butter Is only
u competitor Of true butter, and as
much entitled to the field as n pure
product. He replies that it is not a
competitor at all, but counterfeit.
....... The world has no more
right to ask the farmer to work
beside such production Of alleged
butter, than it has To ask the nation
to redeem counterfeit ooin. stamp
it what it il, and then ii it "ercu-
lates" we will not whine, however
much we may pity the victims for
their poor taste.

The Republican Can didates
AS election day approaches it b

As election day approaches it be-
comes more plainly and clearly the
duty of the Republican voters of
Iowa county to perform thoroughly
organized and efficient work in favor
of the Republican candidates for
the various Offices. As whole, the
Republican ticket is better than the
Democratic ticket. 1t is made up
of equally good men, and it is rule
that Republicans are better men in
Office than Democrats, and render
mo re faithful and efficient public
service.
There are but two or three days
of the campaign left Every Re
publican should regard it as his busy
season in the performance of his
political duties. The temporary
dissatisfaction with some parts of
the ticket has vanished, and the
united, earnest effort of every Re
publican in Iowa county and in the
Legislative districts should be put
forth for all the candidates and to
secure a sweeping Republican vic
tory.

Terrible Railroad Collision Be
tween DodgeVille and
Madison.

On Tuesday, about noon the pas
senger train ON the Chicago 81 North
western road, eastward bound from
Lancaster TO Milwaukee, collided
with a wild engine backing west in
IA deep cut one mile east of Pine
Bluff station and fifteen miles west
of Madison. The track curves in
the cut and neither engine could be
seen until moment before the col
lision occurred, and both were
making twenty-five miles an hour.
The accident resulted in the death
of one man and the injury of three.
The man killed was supposed to be
Henry Schwenk, of Madison, who
was stealing ride between the
tender and the mail car Of the pas.
senger train. William Dolan, of
Lancaster, engineer of the passenger
train, was pinned in his cab, and
had his left thigh badly crushed, so
that amputation will probably re-
suit. He was also severely injured
about the head and scalded by
escaping steam. His fireman, Mar
tin Comfort, of Madison, was badly
scalded. Mail Agent Lusted, of
Lancaster, was injured about the
head and also scalded. The engln-
eer and fireman of the wild engine
jumped, but their names can not be
learned. The passenger engine was
badly wrecked. The wild engine,
it is said, was to have stopped at
Riley for passengers to pass, but
having about three minutes to spare,
the engineer thought he would try
to make Pine Bluff, two and one
half miles distant, and when in the
cut met the passenger train, with
the above result. The tender of the
wild engine was landed upon the
passenger engine. Before Jumping
the engineer of the wild engine re-
versed, and the engine broke away
from the tender and dashed off
under full head eastward, with no
one aboard. It ran thus to Verona,
six miles distant, before it was
stopped. The tender and mail car
of the passenger took fire and the
mail was partially burned. 1t was
with great effort that engineer Do
Ian was released before the flames
destroyed his cab The wounded
were taken to Madison, where they
are receiving the best of care.

TO TEST THE MATTER.
A Petition to be Presented to the
Circuit Court
Asking That the New Police and
Fire Ordinance be An
nulIed.

, Yesterday a petition was in active ciFcu-
lation about town, addressed to the Circuit
Court. and praying that the Ordinance
known as IAN ordinance in relation to the
Police and Fire Departments of the city OF
Wheeling, and the appointment, duties and
compensation Of the Commissioners there
Of" be revoked and snnulled. This action
is being taken in view of the general feel
ing that Council over stepped the bounds
of fairness and propriety in framing the
ordinance as it now stands, and thinking it
bes. 10 have the legality of the new Board
tested and settled at the outset, both it's
friends and its opponents unite in wishing
a speedy adjudication of the points raised.
The law upon which the petition to tie
Court is based was passed by the. Legisla
ture December p, 1885, and constitutes
Sec 48 of chap. |. OF the acts OF incorpors
ton. 1t reads as follows:
That upon the petition of ten taxpayers
residing in any city, town or village, ag-
grieved by an unlawful or erroneous levy
or imposition of taxes, the Circuit Court OF
such county may supersede the levy made
by such city, town or village, in the same
manner and to the same effect as the Cir
cult Court may now supersede levy made
by the County Court. 10 like manner, it
an independent school district or any other
school district impose tax or levy con.
trary to law, or in excess OF the rate OF
taxation prescribed in the act creating an
independent district, for school purposes,
upon q like petition, the..Circuit Court may
supersede the levy. Upon like petition any
ordinance of city, town or village, made
contrary to law, the Circuit Court may
supersede, revoke and snnul the same
The Court, if it deem proper to do 30, may
require security for costs.
The petition will probably be presented
to one of the Judges of the Circuit Court
within a few days If the decision thereof
be favorable to the Board, the members
thereof can 60 ahead, if adverse, the city
will be well out of an awkward fix, and
with the added experience our city fathers
can 90 ahead and draft an ordinance within
lawful bounds.
