There are many joys in life, but

alization. They are ever looki 6

will be finished as the season of en-

The legislators of Wisconsin should
set their faces as flint against the bills
providing for the repeal of local option
and proposing other sweeping changes
in the license laws. The excise ques-
ton is at present a perplexing and
vexatiouS question. Scarcely two men
can be found who exactly agree in the
matter. The present laws are working
fairly well; and it is always best to let
well enough alone. 1t would be blind
folly for the democratic party to cham
pion the proposed changes, as is desired
in some quarters. The using OF the
strong arm of the state to compel every
little hamlet to license drinking places
whether they SO desire or not is unwise,
undemocratic, I'M American, and ought
not to be countenanced. and this po-
sition The Democrat confidently ex-
poets the majority of the legislature to
maintain.

The following on the of General
William Tecumseh sherman, was read
and adopted at the last meeting of
George II. Legate, G. A. r., Post of
Mineral Point:
BY the death of our illustrious Com
rade, William Tecumseh Sherman,
there is made in the ranks of the
Grand Army of the Republic a breach
never to be repaired anu ever to be
sadly appreciated. His towering mil
itary genius we join the world in ad-
miring; his answering devotion and
great services to the cause of liberty
and union, we cherish, in common
with all loyal Americans, as a national
heritage; his many and shining virtues
as man and citizen, we unite with
mankind to honor; but of his farter-
nal comradship, welded in the heat of
lirery conflicts of which only par
Elephants can fully know, his COM
rades of camp and field have the
proud distinction of being sole heirs.
The name of General Sherman will
forever illumine the pages of Ameri-
can history, and as a beacon light,
guide and sCimulatd all patriots and
defenders of freedom and Justice
throughout the ages of coming time.
With his deeds and character for their
chart and inspiration, future states
men, soldiers, and citizens of our
country need have little difficulty in
maintaining and advancing the glory
and prosperity of our flag and people,
amid whatever storms and conflicts
may aSSail them.
AS members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, the comrades of
George III. Legate Post are strength
ened in their loyalty and prompted to
greater devotion to the principles of
of the organization by the example
and memory of beloved commonder;
and inspired with brighter anticipa-
tions of the assembling of the
Grand Army on the peaceful plains of
eternity, 10y the knowledge that he is
there waiting for us to once again
pass in grand review"

competition in business, is hereby de-
