The narrow margin Of Democratic safety
in that state is made still narrower by
the return to the Republican ranks of

An Ex-Rebel's False Charge

In the United States senate yesterday,
Senator Blackburn declared that the
Grand Army OF the Republic was polit-
ical organization, and "the one political
was ia perfect marching order, ready to
take the field with knapsacks hacked and
all things ready" He again said that
the Grand Army of the Republic was "lhe
only efficiently organized political system
on he continent to-day" Senator Black
burns statement is erroneous IN two re-
spects, and is evidently deliberately and
wilfully SO. The Grand Army of the Re
public is not a political organization.
Political discussion and action are pro-
hibited by its constitution Political
questions are never raised at It's meetings !:
the political opinions of its members are
never questioned. Its membership con-
sists of men of all parties.
On the other hand, there is political
rganizatiOn-not, perhaps, ostensibly SO,
but tacitly so-tbat Is iron-clad AMI cop
per-fastened, bound By ties OF the strong
est character, and which threatens the
complete destruction of the balot-box
and the overthrow OF our republican form
of government. That bundled political
league consists of the ex-rebel soldiery OF
the South aud those people of the South
who declare, with Associate Justic Lamar,
that Jeff Davis was no traitor Chicago

The COtZhausen Plan.

VIM. F. Villas has made his stake up
on carrying Wisconsin fer Cleveland this
fall and is bending every energy to this
end. A recent conference of Wisconsin
Democrats was held in Washington, en-
gineered by the triumvrate-C0l. George

county to its old power and influence.
In this latter phase of the situation Judge
I.amore&ux was particularly Interested
1t transpifes that the conclusion arrived
at by the bosses was that both points
might be reached by the nomination of
ex-senator F. ". Cotzhausen, of Mil
waukee, for governor, VINO, it was fondly
hoped, would capture the entire German
vote, thus making the state sure for
"Clexeland and Reform in November
and thereby adding additional lustre to
the name of Secretary Villas. But this
trio of reformers have a low estimate OF
German Republicans by thinking that
they can be disturbed in their allegiance
TO the Republican party by trotting out
Cotzhausen. Principles and not men
govern Republicans generally in their
political action, and they are too intelli-
gent to be caught in trap laid in Wash
ington by few Democratic plotters. As
far a. Dodge county is concerned, the
nomination of Cofzhausen would not
weigh feathers weight towards restor-
ing the corrupt ring to power. The ma
jofitv of the taxpayers of Dodge county
are satisfied that the success Of the Peo-
Piles movement in 1886 brought them

minis,ra'ion of county affairs and saving
iH county expenses; and they will not be
swerved from their purpose to have this

Rolling Snow Roads.

Every winter witnesses more or less
difficulty and serious loss of business on
account of the blocking of the roads with
snow. In Vermont they have struck a
new method Of dealing with this difficulty,
which is described as follows by The St.
Johnsbury Caledonian:
"The town of Hardwick is one of the
three or four towns in this country which
is using the new device. The town has
five rollers, twelve feet long divided in
two parts) and from five to seven feet in
diameter, weighing from $500 to $500
pounds each. These are drawn by five,
six or more horses, according 10 the state
of the roads The highways of the town
are made into five districts by the select
men, and after every snow storm the roads
are all gone over, most of them twice,
making hard and we'll beaten track
from twelve to twenty feet wide. These
districts. include all the principal high
ways of the town, and the people who
have to travel these roads are much pleas
ed with the results Now farmer living
three miles from the postoffice and church
can get out after storm as soon as the
roller rolls around, while heretofore he
might have been two or three days in
getting to the village. AS to expense, it

cost Hardwick last winter about $1,000
to break its roads Tin the old way) 1t
may be early to predict for this year, but
many think ii will not cost half that sum,
while the value of the two systems is
without comparison"
Another way Of breaking roads
with harrow and plank was lately prac-
ticed SO successfully by Vermont Chron-
icle correspondent that he commends it
to others in the region of heavy SHOWS:
Glitch harrow behind one runner of
sleigh-the more teeth it has the better
and in going out and returning you will
make a road wide enough for two teams
to pass safely | found that for the door
yard no sleigh is needed; just hitch on as
you would to harrow your garden He
recommends the cutting OF notches In a
slab Ca plank will do as welD that fits
down over the runners of the sleigh, and
after one has been both ways with the
harrow leave it and slip the plank for
ward of the beam under the rave until
the runners will fit into the notches; turn
it up next to the beam, make hole in
the said board and put pin in down in
front 10 hold it in place He would have
the ends run out three feet each side of
sled, and I would add: Cut out foot or
more in the center to make a ridge in
the middle of the road. [ had used the
plank many years, but did not let it run
out more than foot each side Of the sled."

DoWner College.

Though not generally known, the
trustees of the Wisconsin Female college,
at Fox Lake, changed the name of that
institution to Downer college as long ago
as last July, in honor of Judge Jason
Downer, of Milwaukee. The will of Mrs.
Downer, leaving the sum of $4,000 to the
college, and in the event of the noD-es-
Enlistment of the Downer home for aged
clergymen, half of tina: part of the estate
set aside for this purpose, was drawn up
three years ago. The condition contain
ed in it that the bequest of the Fox Lake
seminary should lapse unless the change
in the name indicated were made previous
to her death, was therefore not complied
with until two years subsequent to the
making of the will, but in ample season
to enable the trustees TO obtain the be-
quest.
