HE United States are most nipgardly
III paying for small things not done by
officers. Printing is sponged from all
the local press, particularly those papers
published at places having harbors.
Circulars are regularly sent with the
request that they be published gratis as
news matter. Some months ago The
Pilot published some advertisements
which were to be paid for, but the
expense necessary to secure payment was
greater than the amount the bills called
for. Tue Bureau of Education sends
out two or three times each year blanks
for educational statistics. Each one
requires at least one day for filling out.
But it is expected that the persons to
whom these are sent will do the work
gratis. This mendicant manner of doing
business is hardly in keeping with the
dignity of a great country with surplus
revenue. If the information sought has
any value it should be paid for and -
Bureau should be furnished ma.~ .ue
which to do this. LIB Will

The report of the trustees of the
county asylum published elsewhere in
the proceedings of the county board,
shows that the county asylum, with the
aid given by the state and what is re.
ceived from other counties keeping their
chronic insane here, is more than self
supporting, leaving surplus of $28 OF
after paying all expenses. The only
expense to the county is the permanent
improvements made, which do not con.
stitute any portion of current expenses.
The wisdom of building the asylum is
now apparent to all, providing a good
home as it does for the chronic insane
and relieving the county of heavy
annual tax.

THE MORRIS TRIAL.

After many postponements the Morris
case is finally on trial at Sheboygan. Il
opened on Monday of this week and il
is believed the testimony will not be all
in before Saturday. 1t is possible the
case may be concluded before that time.
The regular panel of Sc jurors was ex-
hausted and SO more were summoned.
A jury of IL men was secured on Tues
day. The following are the jurors: VIM.
Sims, ]. J. Hobbs, Benjamin Bowers.
Jas. VanOwerkirk, VIM. Chaplin, Henry
Pape, B. F. Heald, Henry Bauer, Rich
ard Nommenson, A. d. DeLand, Louis
Vanetta, VIM. Highly.
The case was opened for the state by
Mr.. Walker and for the defense by Mr..
Nash. The taking of testimony com
menced at P. NJ. on Tuesday. The
principal witnesses examined thus far
are Pierce, Eberhardt, Ertz, DR.. Luh
man and Buerstatte. The gun, the gun
wad and the shot taken from the body OF
the girl and that from the carcass of the
dog shot by Morris were presented in
evidence. The testimony thus far il
identical with that given in the examina
ton, except that Eberheart testifes that
when he brought Morris into the room
where the dead girl lay, he showed sigps
of agitation. Pierce's testimony was also
more damaging than on the examination.
He stated on the trial that Morris hao
told him ''if the girl had only kept hen
mouth shut there would be no trouble.
As no such evidence was given at The
examination the statement raised som.
among the lawyers, but it wa
finally admitted.

UNDER SHERIFF ZEMAN returned on
Sunday last from five days chase after
horse thieves. In the latter part of No
vembsr team of horses were stolen from
the stable of Cooperstown farmer man,
wagon and buffalo robe, SO that they were
we'll equipped for flight. The sheriff
tracked them to Hartland and here lost
all trace of them. 1t is believed that the
thieves are some young men of the neigh
borhood where the theft was committed
as they showed pretty thorough knowl-
edge of the premises. Mr.. Zeman thinks
he knows the parties and is certain he
will catch them yet.

hold meetings in their own town and one
of the teachers from Meme attends
these meetings, sufficient excuse for
her absence. Another had good excuse

IT is estimated that 5000 deer were
killed in Wisconsin this year. An at
tempt will be made at the coming session
of the Legislature to pass laws for the
proper protection of game, by prohibit
ing shipments from the state. Killing
deer is becoming more matter of
business than amusement aud it is only
a question of short time when all the
deer in the state will be destroyed.

The Library.

IT has been thought for some time that
our village library which, at present, is
owned by a stock company, should be
transferred TO the town and made public
institution. Under the present arrange
ment II has no income except from the
sale OF tickets and from fines. That is not
enough TO pay the running expenses. II
the library belonged to the town, It would
be supported by u tax and would thus be
relieved from the financial embarrassment,
under which II has always labored. An.
other advantage would he that it could be
placed in the Town Hall, in the large
pleasant room expressly designed for a
town library. Not only would 1t have
better quarters, but the expense Of the
rent would be saved.
The stockholders are willing TO give
the library 10 the town, but there are some
difficulties In the way, which can only be
overcome by a special act Of the Legisla
ture. II Is the wish that the library should
belong TO the township and not merely u
the village. The law provides for a town
ship library, in townships having village
Of not over one thousand inhabitants
When the population Of village is ovel

A BILL has been introduced into the
Legislature, by Mr.. Washburn, which pro-
vides that physiology and hygeine with
Especial reference to the effects Of alcohol
ic drinks upon the human SYSTEM" shall
be required by law TO be taught in all
schools supported by public money. This
is measure which the friends of temper
ance have endeavored TO obtain. TEN.
perance reformers are all agreed that
the way to prevent intemperance
ance is TO begin with the children and
teach them the evils resulting from the
use Of intoxicating liquors. If this in
strucuon were given in all the public
schools OF the State, the number Of drunk
ards would undoubtedly be greatly dimin-
ished in the next generation. Hygeine in
general, Is a subject which is too much
neglected in the schools. Children should
not only be taught the evils arising from
this use Of alcoholic drinks, and Of tobacco,
but they should be instructed, also, in re.
gard to all the fundamental laws Of health.
The dependence Of the health upon pure
air, regular exercise, sufficient sleep. ire.
quent bathing and proper food and cloth.
ing, can be readily comprehended by chill.
dren, and such knowledge is OF the great
est importance to. them. While the bill
has for lis main object the advancement OF
the temperance cause, il may also be use
ful by causing greater attention 10 be Civ.

way to make public library OF which the
township should have the benefit, except
by special act of the Legislature. Those
