COLUMBUS DAY.
THE EDITOR SPENT THE DAY IN
STEVENS POINT.

In company with Geo. y. Wood we
spent columbus Day" Friday, Octo-
Der the 2lst, in Stevens Point, where
the day was observed in keeping with
the historical event. We reached there
on the morning train over the Green
Bay railroad in plenty time to call upon
intimate friends and see the morning
parade The weather was delightful,
warm and pleasant, a perfect, ideal,
summers day. The business houses
were all closed at ten O'Clock and the
streets had more the appearance Of a
4th of July occasion than anything else
The forenoon parade and exercises were
under the auspices of the Junior Order
Of United American Mechanics which
order presented each public school with
a large American flag. The exercises
were very interesting. \ part of the
forenoon was passed in the First
National Bank building in company
with Messrs. Buckingham and Dunno
gan. These gentlemen took pleasure
in showing us through their new edifice
which we can assure you is complete in
all its appointments. The vault is a
model one containing all the modern
improvements III burglar proof vaults.
The procession in the afternoon was a
very creditable one in which all denom-
nations and civic societies had a part
about 5000 people were in line. Many
unique floats were in the parade, elab-
oratelv decorated, representing the
earlier conditions of Columbus times.
The city was fairly alive with people
dressed IN their pretty gowns to witness
the parade and attend the exercises at
the Opera rink.
Before returning home that evening
we were invited by Mr.. r. NJ. Griswald
to take supper at the Presbyterian
Parsonage where we met with many Of
Stevens Point good people. Here we
were pleased to renew our acquaintance
with Miss Dickerson, sister of Mrs.
CT. J. Jackson, of Centralia. We were
also glad to meet with Rev. Rankin,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and
his estimable wife. They have a very
pleasant home and we enjoyed our
short stay among them.
We reached home at o'clock, in
time to attend the exercises at the
opera house in this city. The schools
of both cities in charge of the two
principals, Messrs. Luehr and Paulus,
the G.. A. r.. Post IN command of J. w.
Cochran were Masters of Ceremonies
and carried out very interesting pro-
gram. Those who had a part in the
exercises acquitted themselves with
credit The large building was crowded
by an appreciative audience whose
emotions responded to every patriotic
rendition. The Twin City Band rem
dered several choice selections, while
the school children led by Prof. Dor
ward sang many suitable patriotic
songs. TO us the day was one long to
be remembered and was very much
eniOyed.

They Never Want To Go Back To Europe

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Oct. 2O.--In view
Of the Democratic talk of the poor,
hard working, down-trodden laboring
man, under the present tariff and the
Mckinley bill, and how much better
off he would be if we had tariff for
revenue only, | wish to ask little en-
lightenment on few points. On near
ly every steamer coming to our shores,
are from POO to 1000 'emigrants; from
all parts of the old country, quite a
number from England. How many of
these after living in this country long
enough to be borne down by its heavy
tariff taxes return to their old homes?
Do they, as general thing, after Il resi-
dence of two or three years write home
to their relatives and tell them that
they must send money to get them
away from such Il tariff-burdened cOun-
try, where wages are low and living
high? No, after a while over to the
old country goes the money to bring
either father, mother or brother or
sister to this glorious land of the free,
and every once in while over goes a
draft until all the family is over. In
what other country can man 90 and
by industry and economy build up a
small fortune quicker than here? Go to
most any town in this state and of how
many residents of foreign birth would
you hear, "IIe came to this country
with almost nothing. To-day he owns
this, that and the other farm, or this,
that and maybe half dozen other
residences" A great many more than
the Democrats would care to admit
According to the representative OF
the Democracy why do not the laborine
men shake the dust of this tariff ridden
country off their feet and fly to the
country where everything is cheap
even labor? The coming election and
its results will tell why; under the
Republican administration they have
become what they are and they intend
to live under the same principles.
A REPUBLICAN,.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1892-10-27

hitherto dishonored and despised, 10
revolt against the old slaveocracy and
assert its manhood and dignity. Labor
is responding to the call. The Alliance
of the farmer and the mechanic whose
interests are identical-doomed in this
initial struggle to be swept aside will
yet in death find victory. 1t is the
hammer of Thor which will break in
pieces the prejudices of a section and
make the people united and prosperous.
We predict that in the next presidential
election in 1896 West Virginia, Georgia
Alabama and Tennessee will cast their
electoral vote for Protection to Ameri-
can Industry.

ARC LIGHTS.

The past week we overlooked the
item of new arc lights which brighten
up the city these dark nights. The
lights are just as strong and in every
way equal to those of any city. They
shed tEeir beautiful white rays long
distance. Now our sister city, Centralia,
ought to have her streets lighted so that
the convenience may be enjoyed by
the people of both cities. The electric
light plants III the twin cities are now
equal, and in some cases better, than
those in neighboring cities.

DR.. STEDr1AN'S IMPROVEMENTS
in DENTAL PLATES.

Make it possible to construct perfect
fitting full upper and lower sets, and
MAKE THEM STAY WHERE THEY BELONG,
even if the lower gums are nearly
wasted away.
Partial plates, very small but perfect
in their adjustment. Removable bridge
work that is BETTER, CLEANER and MUCH
CHEAPER than all gold bridge work.
Partial lower plates that will remain
in place while masticating food and can
be used with as much satisfaction as
upper plates.
By the use of these improvements
you do not have any good teeth ex-
