If there should have come "A dan
gerous political crisis, during the
summer, that required immediate
action, the country would have suf-
fered. All those who hold the reins
of Government, the President and
the Cabinet with one exception)
have been scattered all over the

at his home in Wisconsin, Attor-
ney General Garland has taken
refuge in little town in Arkansas,
where telephones are never heard of.
Mr.. Bayard alone has stayed at his

Now that the gossips have finally
decided that Mr. Mauning's resigna-
ton will be rendered the President
again, and viii have to be accepted,
everyone asks who will be his sue

Fairchild, who has been the acting
Secretary Of the Treasury since Mr..
Manning has been unable to be at
his desk. He is a tireless worker,

chises, the full amount of wager
which was due to the laborers as
was ascertained by Col. Butt. This
the purchaser agreed to do, and did
do, and from this extra sum the
laborers and their families were fed
and paid in full by Gov. Rusk, and
peace and contentment reigned SUI
preme among all classes, and 1t
never cost the state of Wisconsin
a dollar.
Cd. A few years ago large body
of laborers had been to work on a
railroad in the south part of the
state, and when a large sum for
wages became due to them this
company failed also and left the
poor men, their wives and children
in very destitute circumstances -
not only without money, but many
of them in debt. The laborers
would have taken possession of the
company's property, but there was
no property visible except a civil
engineer and the solicitor for the
company, and these two franchises
of the corporation were remarkably
successful in rendering themselves
invisible by the instantaneous pro-
cess. No authorities telegraphed to
the governor for troops and arms,
and the laborers consequently new
or received either bread or bayonets
nor pay for their labor, but this
same solicitor for the company went
up to the democratic state conven-
ton and issued large rations of
resolutions for the benefit of rail
road laborers, their wives and hun
cry children.

Railroads and Resolutions.

A delegate from Iowa county to
the late democratic state convention
was instrumental in hanging an
Ornamental resolution on the tail of
the platform which that body
adopted. A few years ago the
legislature passed law making
railroad companies liable for injur-
les sustained 10y any of their empty
ees by the negligence Of others of
their employees. This law was
never regarded with much favor by
the people on account of the hard
ship which appeared to arise from
holding one man responsible for the
negligent acts of another; and the
law was therefore repealed by
the last legislature. This Iowa
county delegate to the late demo
cratic state convention introduced a
resolution of censuro on the legisla-
ture for repeating this law. About
one-half of the delegates to the con-
vention left the chamber rather
than commit themselves on such a
presumptlous resolution, and the
resolution passed by bare majority
of the delegates remaining. 1t was
claimed by the delegate who intro
duccd the resolution, that the law
should not have been repealed, for
the reason it was one for the bcne-
fit of laboring men. For the benefit
Of this delegate who has eXpoused
the cause of the laboring man by
formulating resolutions, we will
cite two cases for his consideration,
hoping he will introduce some reso-
luton expressive of his decision as
to which of them has been of the
greater benefit to the laborlng man:
list. A few years ago large body
of laborers had been to work on a
railroad in the north part of the
state and when large sum for
wages became due to them the com
pany failed, and left the poor men,
their wives and children in very
destitute circumstances only
without money! but many of the
laborers largely in debt. The labor
ers commenced to take possession
of the company's property for the
purpose of getting their pay for
their labor, and this attempt Of the
laborers was resisted 10y the lawful
authorities and the principal credit
ors of the company. The strife for
the possession of the property be-
came so determined that the author
tiles telegraphed to Gov. Rusk to
send armed troops up there to sub
due the laborers. But Gov. Rusk
tclegraphed back to the authori ties
that he had no troops for that pur-
purpose; that the lahorerS wanted
bread and not bayonets, and that he
would ship them car load of pro-
vision at once. lie shipped the
provisions to them the next day and
the disturbance all ceased at once.
The governor then commissioned
Col. {. NJ. Butt, of Vernon county,
60 20 to the scene of disturbance
and take an account of the amount
due To every man from the railroad
company for his labor. Col. Butt
executed the commission promptly
and ascertained that there were
near $4,000 due to the men for
labor. The franchises of the rail
road company were then sold and
the governor inlerposed the express
condition in the agreement for the
sale, that the purchaser should pay,
in addition to the value Of the fran

CHICAGO Inter Ocean'-They are
having n lively contest down in
Florida between Dougherty Dem
and Greedy (Rep.) for Congress. AT
a recent barbecue held in Dougher-
ty's interests, the orator said: Gre
member Greely's record III our dark
DAYS when we were in sackclvth and
ashes. At that time when the ebony
night of dread covered us, then it
was that this same Greedy gave aid
and comfort to the enemy" That
is, he was not a rebel and did not do
his best to destroy the flag and dis
rupt the Union. "Gave aid and
comfort to the enemy"-and just
"the enemy" at whose trough the
patriotic Dougherty now wishes to
ittu III anu SiON IdJs hSts HpW
ever, is Democracy. 1t may be
added that Florida is to-day depend
ent upon this same "enemy" the
northern people, for her bread and
butter. If it We're not for the win
ter sojourn of northern people-not
for northern capital and northern
markets-Florida would to-day sit
in rags and poverty, and instead of
doubling the valuation of her prop
erty in two years, as one of the
speakers asserted, nine-tenths of it
would be very nearly worthless.
These are the facts. When Florida
persecutes her citizens and demands
that they be ostracised for reason of
their loyalty during what her orators
term cher dark days" her clark
days" will only begin.
