A Mflwaukee Pork king.

The retirement of MIR. Plankinton.
who may justly be called the father of
the packing business in the northwest

moEal of q landmark. Mr.. Plankinton

arrow. with deep dark eyes and long.
sweeping hair. strong. determined
mouth. a massive forehead and promi-
nent nose, he is little likely to be for
gotten hastily or passed without
injury as to his identity. He is one of
the few millionaires who have moved
on to fortune without check. He sue
ceeded always. and this without the
aid of any friendly capitalist to see
him through. He was far seeing and
possessed of that rare. strange ability
which knows how to successfully run
a corner. Towards the close Of the
war he made great deal of money
in selling pork. MIR. Plantation was
considered one of Milwaukee, wealthy
men when the war broke out which

quarter of a million dollars The war
gave him his opportunity, and his
profits for army contracts rapidly
swelled this sum until he passed safely
over the million mark. In 1864 he
formed partnership with Phil ID. Ar
mour, which gave both a world wide
cele brity as the firm of Plankinton &
Armour. The firm conducted large
houses in New York aud Kansas City.

search revealed the fact that at
that time his endorsers were all
democrats. He is one of the thrifty
kind that always manages to keep
solid with the party in power. He
not only got left in getting a pro.
motion but, it having been found
necessary in order to keep within
an appropriation for two $1,000
clerks to be reduced to 81, 400, he
was ore of them.
The impression among most
republicans is that the civil service
commission is unnecessarily both
ering itself about the discharge of
certain democratic officials. There
is no law to prevent discharges.
1t has been found necessary to
make change in the civil service

Service. The laborers are to be
excepted.

and our government who was so
exacting in time of the war never
says once now, "give an account
of thy stewardship"
] would be opposed to our coun.
ty doing like our government in
giving to fools and wise men alike,
and not ask once how their money
is spent. You might give some all
the money they could carry and
they would still render themselves
and all about them miserable.
Why is 1t that we are 80 proud
in one respect and so without it in
another. Many persons refuse to
60 TO the poor-house, but are will.
ing to sponge on their neighbors.
Most all Of US are wanting an Office
where there is big pay and no
work to be done, and many of US
are ready to borrow money that
we know we cannot repay and
very often we will cheat in COM
merce and in swapping horses, but
we refuse to say we are poor men
end need help from the county or
nation, because we are too proud
to go to the almshouse. This we
all loftily repudiate and prefer to
become thieves or live off the hard
earnings of some neighbor rather
than be called poor. Nevertheless
I think Mr.. Wilson is nearly
right for laborer who serves his
country with his pillow or spade
deserves his pension in the same
way that the soldier, who serves
with sword; but 1t would be well
for the overseers in both cases, to
slack up giving, when they see
that the money is being wasted or
worse than thrown away. We will
never have much trouble to get
soldiers to fight over just and unjust
wars but the trouble is now and
will be, how to love heavy hard
work at home, why not as we'll pay
men premium for wedding out a
corn field and raising a family of
children, as to pay royalty to men
for loosing their health while strip
ping a corn field. I was in the
army q short time and from the
experience / had, would have
rather kept on my uniform and
fought with Grant and Sherman
around Richmond, Vicksburg and
Atlanta, than to wear coarse cloths
and work in the field on our farms
and lead q dull monOtinous life.
