The Whisky Tax.

The whole amount of tax on spirits
and liquors collected in the country
is over $63. 10000 per annum, an
average to each person of $3.50. In
New Jersey the average is 50; in
Maine the average is three cents. So
says the New York Independent,
whereupon an exchange philosophers:
Happy New Jersey! collecting tax
on liquor amounting to r. for each in
habitant; and poor Maine! collecting
only three cents for each person. 1t
must be wonder to these revenue
pleaders how the State of Maine sue
ceeds in running its government with
SO small whisky revenue. Let them
visit that state as we have done and
take observations. If they stay long
enough to get cured of liquor on the
brain, SD they can see and reason
clearly, they will find a happy state of
things where liquor is not made to
curse the many in order to fill the
pockets of the few"

Mr.. EDITOR:
l wish to mention the name of Ly-
man Healy, of the town of River Falls,
in connection with the nomination for
assemblymen. lie is lifelong re-
publican, an old resident of the coun-
ty, representative farmer, level
headed and honest to the core. i
think it specially appropriate at this
time when the farmers throughout
the country are making some effort to
have voice somewhat proportioDate
to their number and interests in legis-
lation, that an agricultural county like
our own select man of Mr.. Healy's
stamp for the legislature. 1t should not
be said that as Mr.. F. ID. Lord is can
didate for reelection to the Office of
Register of Deeds that Mr.. Healy
could not be nominated on account of
locality. The town of River Falls is
as distinct from the city as is the town
of Clifton.
lam aware that the last member,
Col. Dill, is mentioned for renomina-
ton. The county has no more worthy
citizen. But since the biennial ses-
sions no man has been sent twice.
To be chosen to this pos ition without
ones owe unblushing begging and fugl-
ing for it, as Mr.. Dill and Mr.. Healy
would always be if chosen at all, is a
high honor. l would like to see as
many of my worthy fellow citizens en-
Joy it as possible. l am sure no one
will appreciate this thought more than
the chivalrous gentlemen who last en-
joyed the compliment. My mind re-
yerts to such men as Geo. w. McMur-
ply, John A. Stirrst, VIM. Teare and
Osburn Strahl, all now too advanced in
years to care to exchange the quiet of
home for other scenes. Such men as
these, representatives of that great
class of our fellow-citizens that live
by honest. independent and intelligent
industry, should not be allowed to
grow old without the honor of being
entrusted with public duties-duties
that they would discharged so well.

THE DEsOCRATIc SCHOOL PLANK.

1t Is Badly Shlvered by Democratic
Editor.
The following editorial clipped from
a Democratic paper in Eastern WiscOn-
sin no doubt fairly represents the SEN
timent of the more intelligent German
DemOcrats-those whose hands are not
tied by the merciless and inflexible
bands of priestcraft-respecting the
attitude of their party toward the
Bennett law.
The editor, Otto Gaffron, is a Ger
man Democrat who has the courage
of his convictions, and though resi-
dent of a portion of the state where
the Anti-Bennett feeling is strongest
he punctUres with a keen lancet the
"Un-American" ecclesiastical abscess
lust now disturbing the Wisconsin
Democratic body polite.
From the Plymouth Reporter, Dem.I
The plank, in the Democratic plat
form relating To education. is piece
of demagOgy, which will ever stigma
tie its authors as lot of trucking
politicians. 1t opposes certain evils,
and then demands the unconditional
repeal of law which is primarily in-
tended to remedy them. 1t rebukes
'paternalism, but rejects law which
il properly enforced would tend 10
make the masses more intelligent and
independent, and consequently remove
all temptations ON the part of govern
ments to exercise arbitrary control.
Ii is so clearly bid for votes, that any
Democrat who places honor above
party, must feel himself disgraced by
it. The gush about "paternalism"
and ''paternalisiic laws" shows how
utterly the rational side of man was
disregarded in originating the plat
form. Education has never led to
mans subsection, but it has always
tended to bring him nearer to an en-
lightened self-control. Where the
many are ignorant popular govern
ment is a farce. Who can properly
be called part of a government of
Which he knows nothing! A party
which calls for the unconditional
repeal of law which protects chill
dren against being employed in shops,
factories and other places Of business,
when they ought TO be at school, and
guarantees to them some preparation
as citizens of a republic, cannot con-
sistently talk against government
usurpation. as it is taking the surest
means of bringing about the very con-
ditions which it pretends to oppose.
