Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1889-03-14

TO foster snd promote these interests which are
the very foundation OF Yeaitn ana prosperity,
has been committed ~ tho hands Of patriotism
and capability.
Resolved That the hearty good wishes OF this
body and the people Of Wisconsin go with Gen.
Ruak 20 his field Of duty and responsibility
accompanied by the conviction that his future
will be as success IS bis past career, and no less
useful to the whole country than II heretofore
has been TO the State OF Wisconsin,,
Resolved. That these resolutions be forwarded
TO Gov. Ruek az o permanent marx OF esteem
and confidence, and that Gov. Ryland De re-
quested TO wire our congratulations 10 secretary
Rusk.
The resolution passed unanimously
in both houses by rising vote.
Mr.. Slupscki's billto exclude German
from the public schools was killed on
Thursday. Mr.. Shupecki was not
present when the vote was taken, but
there was not and meyer has been the
slightest chance for its passage. It's
author feels somewhat indignant over
its fate and thinks he was discourteous-
ly treated, but the fact is the members
had made up their minds how TO vote
and CANVASS showed such a large
majority in opposition to it that it was
thought best to summarily dis pose of
it.
As predicted last week the Senate
railroad committee has decided 10 re-
port unfavorably on the Taylor bill by
vote Of to 2. Sen. Taylor wished 10
have the bill reported without any
recommendation and this was carried
by vote of to 4, Sen. Rust and Petit
bone voting with him out of personal
friendship. The four members voting
against the measure stated, however,
that they would insist on making p
minority report at least, and thereupon
those who voted with MIR. Taylor on
grounds of friendship declared il any
report was made they would sign it, as
they were opposed 10 the bill and
wished 10 have it so appear. Sen,
Fitch, chairman of the committee is the
only man VINO voted with Sen. Taylor.
The report OF the committee will be
made the coming week, it being delayed
somewhat to allow Sen Taylor tiple to
prepare TO debate the merits of tho bill
on the floor of the Senate.
The bill to appropriate $500 to each
agricultural society in the State was in
definitely postponed on Friday along
with some 80 other bills. Some real
progress was made Friday. bat there is
no danger of its being continued at that
rate. a bill is being composed that
will combine the various features of the
bills to aid agricultural societies so that
all will be equally beneAtted and the
treasury not entirely depleted.
No report has been made to the
Assembly on the state fair bill yet and
the members of the Agricultural Society
are moving heaven and earth to secure
n favorable report. They rely on the
great success of the fair in Milwaukee
as their main argument and do not be-
lieve that there is any strong opposition
to the bill outside of the committee on
and do not believe this
will seek to have the bill
defeated. Should the committee on
agriculture make an adverse report the
bill will go to the committee on claims,
where its chances of favorable report
are of the best and the ultimate passage
Of the bill is by no means dispaired of
even without the recommendation of
the committee on agriculture. 1t is
not expected that there will be any
opposition to the bill in the Senate and
q canvass of the House has shown
most favorable outlook there.
Candidates for offices under Secretary
Rusk are beginning to turn up here
with the object of securing endorse
ments. Among those here to-day on
such missions are G. w. Hill. ex-oounty
clerk of Grant county and Mr.. Utter. of
Racine county. Any number of others
are crazy to help Uncle Jerry to run
the agricultural department. There
are some who will be called to assist,
but there will be q good many more
who will get only their trouble for their
pains.
The printing investigation was con-
tinuci with Mr.. G. X. Leith on the
stand. Some three sessions were held
at two of which G. A. Leith was the
only witness called and at one of which
Mr.. w. H. Goslin was the witness.
Major Goslin testified as to the dis
tribution of reports and as to the mum.
Der on hand of some of the various re-
ports. 1t is now evident that the com.
mittee will recommend a great reduc-
ton in the number of some of some of
the agricultural reports. Probably the
printing schedule will be slightly modi-
fed also. The committee are satisfied
with the work of the officials who have
the work in charge and the testimony
has satisfied them that whate YER there
is wrong it is no fault of theirs. They
can not be held responsible for the num-
Der of reports printed or anything of
that sort. The Sentinel correspondent
is evidently grouty over the fact that no
steals have been developed, So far
there has not been the first thing in that
direction developed or anything that
looks like one.
Mr.. T. c. Richmond's resignation of
the craftsmanship of the Prohibition
State Central committee and abandon
ment of that organization causes con-
siderable comment. He thinks that the
party makes mistake in trying to
carry womans' suffrage and other re-
forms and that life is too short to be
wasted in endeavoring to do so much
work that counts for naught. Hence
forth he will devote himself to his law
business. Mr.. Richmond is by far the |
ablest man of his party In the state and |
one of the national leaders, and this
move Of his win undoubtedly have
powerful effect aud VIII certainly tend
o destroy the party IN this state.
