AN ADDRESS.

The Democratic National Conn
mittee has issued the follo"Ing
address:
10 the people Of the United States;
The Democratic National Com
mittee cougra.nlaves the country
upon the result OF the recent state
elections in Maine, Vermont and
Arksnsas.
In Arkansas the combined op
position. after so many extravagant
claims, fell snort by over 3O-OoO
votes. This has brought dismaY
to the combination In the oodth,
and its mapipulators in the North
In Maine and Vermont the cor
test was conducted distinctly Oh the
national issues. The republican
managers appealed for votes 10
these states on the ground that
the size of the pluralilies would
exert great molal influence on
the campaign in other states and
that the poll viii be ''prsctlcally
orr vote for President"
Similar appeals summoned to
their aid all the potent resources
of their national organizations, with
its exhaustIess treasury and Its
splendid equipment of orators Of
national fame.
With every favorlng force at their
command except public opinion,
with no organization lnterposed
save those made up within the
states hy the minority power,
which has been out Of power for a
generation, and which Was unaided
from without, the campaign Of our
adversaries for a triumphant test
vote, SO carefully planned and so
thoroughly and forcibly executed,
has ended in conspicuous failure.
Our friends everywhere may take
fresh courage from these results.
they mean that the strong ten
dency OF public sentiment IS with
the democrat aud that the people
or the country are prepared to en-
force, rather than reverse, the yer
diet which they rendered in 1890.

NEW SPAPFR LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection Of news
papers:
'If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arroaragts are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that res
fuSlng to take periodicals from of
flee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subs cribers will be respou-
sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all Is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any man for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses TO pay for it. Under this
law it is dangerous trick for a
man to GLOW his subscription ae.
count to run on from six months
TO a year and then tell the post
master to mark refused or tC

A Franklinton, La, special OF the
18th to the Picayune says:
The preliminary investigation
of Colonel hobgood's case was con
cICded this morning. Nothing was
done except the reading and yerlti-
cation of HobgoOd Is statement yes
terday, which he approved and
signed. The body of Bunch was
lot taken up, because it was learn
ed that the ciothng was cut to
pieces Sc BADLY that nothing def
mite could be obtained by seeing
them.
The Judge refused to grant Hob
good bail, and the sheriff left this
evening via Coviugton to place
him ia the pariRh prison at New
Orleans for safe keeping. Hob
goods statement tailed very well
with that of the detectives. Hob
good s wife was in town YESTERDAY,
also two of his brothers were here.
None of them returned to-day, and
seem 10 care but little about the
matter"
Jackson, the detective, was in
Jack on on the 10Th, and weut
south on the Illinois Central. He
was questioned regarding the Hob
good trial, to which he replied that
he knew nothing of it except what
he had read in the papers, and re-
fused to discuss the subject further
than to say that his (Jackson's)
story of how he and his posse come
up with Bunch and killed him was
true.

A lUMBERMAN'S RENDEZVOUS

This term might be applied to Stevens
Point, located on the Wisconsin Central
Lines, at the gateway to the vast forest
region which extends North to Lake
Superior, a distance of 200 miles with
out a break, on account of its vast lum-
Der interests. The Wisconsin River to
which the lumbermen have given the
familiar and somewhat atfectiOnate title
of cold Wisconse," not alone acts as a
lumber feeder to the city by furnishing
through its numerous tributaries an
outlet for thousands of acres of pine in
the upper country, but it furnishes a
water-power that is second only to that
of Neenah and Menasha, which cities
are also located on the Central" Mill
ions of feet of lumber are cut every
year, gives employment to hundreds OF
men. In addition to the lumber trade
it has numerous other manufactures; it
is here where the large car shops of the
Wisconsin Central lines are located.

information apply to G. T. McNelll, {.

TIE BIG DAM COMPLETED.

The big dam at Conants Rapids was
completed on Saturday last and at 10
o'clock Saturday night the gates were
shut down and the pond allowed to fill
up. In Just six hours after the last gate
was closed the water was flowing over
the top of the dam, having risen about
seven feet, showing that the old Wis
conse is still doing business on the old
stand, notwithstanding the river is low
AT Grand Rapids the water fell few
inches, but it was for only short time
The water backs up the river from the
new dam about one mile, but the back
water does not reach the old Robinson
property. Whiting Bros, c. B. Pride,
the architect, and several other parties
from below, who took part in the con-
struction of the dam, were present to
witness the pond fill up and saw the
water reach the crest and flow over
without creating ripple of excitement.
The huge body of ice above the dam
simply raised with the water but did
not break up. And thus were the pes
simistic people who were predicting all
kinds of dire disasters when the water
was turned on, doomed to disappoint-
ment, and they ''haven't said anything
since" The wheels were put in motion
on Monday and run as smoothly as if
they had been turning for years, thus
proving that the great undertaking of
bridling the Wisconsin at Conants is a
complete success.-[Stevens Point

ELECTION MATTERS.

AS the time for election approaches 1t
might be we'll to talk over the question
of officers for the ensuing year. While
any of the business men are suitable as
candidates for mayor such honors
ought to be passed around first among
the old settlers who have not yet served
in that capacity. If such men cannot
be induced to serve then insist on the
Younger element. We understand
from Mr.. f. J. Wood, that he will be
unable to serve the city as mayor the
coming year on account of Lis business
requiring his entire attention. Every
one we have talked with are decidedly
in his favor, for they appreciate the
work he has accomplished the past
wear and the efficient manner i'll which
he has executed the business of that
office. But he insists on declining a
denomination. For the consideration
of those who are interested in this
subject we will suggest the names of
some of our old time citizens who have
had more or less experience on the
common council, as suitable persons for
the office of mayor. We present them
without authority and wholly on our
own responsibility: Messrs. Robt.
Parrish, 7. C. St.Amour, Seth A.
Spafford, JOS. Freeman, John Parrish,
Frank Pomainville, John DAILY, Henry
Sampson, J. \. Gaynor, and several
others we might mention any one of
whom would serve the city we'll in that
office.
However, the most important office
in the gift of the city is assessor. For
several wears back our service in this
office has been lacking. Not from
personal want or neglect but from a
lack of knowledge in the essential
elements of that office. The present
officer would make far better marshal
|
to give him employment let him be
| placed in such an office as he is best
| qualified to fill. We have no personal
animositv towards any city officer and
our suggestions are given for what they
are worth. If there is no virtue in our
suggestions they need not be considered
| but we believe 1t is high time that tie
assessment rolls be corrected up by one
who is wholly and we'll qualified to
perform that duty. We have no
personal interests in any one man and
don't desire to suggest any names, but
there are plenty who are well qualified
| if they will serve.
