An action has been commenced to
test the validity of gerrymander num-
Der two, as it is facetiously called by
some of the papers. The Democratic
party seem to find it hard to learn
from experience, or rather it is very
unwilling to learn, which is worse.
That the last appoftionment was in
spirit as unfair as the first no one ex.
cept a partisan Democrat can deny,
but it is evident that the rascally pol.
itician who planned it intended to
keep within the letter of the law fan
enough to avoid its being set aside,
but an effort will be made once more
to see if a fair and just apportionment
can be made in this state.

The flood on the Eau Gale river the
9th ult., was the worst ever seen by
the Oldest inhabitant. The water
rose two feet higher than it was ever
known to be before. Four bridges on
the Eau Gale were swept away and
but two were left standing. Two of
those carried away, viz: the Wilcox
bridge, one-half mile above Spring
Valley, and the Hans johnson bridge
one mile below, were built by county
aid four years ago. Two hundred and
fifty dollars was voted at town meet
ing last spring for road and bridges,
and the board had expended three
hundred dollars additional to rebuild
two bridges washed away early in the
season, one at the cost of one hundred
and twenty five dollars, the other two
hundred and twenty-five dollars. Now
there is not a bridge on the river
above Sink Greek and the board is
powerless to do anything unless a
special meeting is called. Great DAM
age was done to crops on the river
bottoms, and good many sheep. hogs
and calves were carried away by the
flood.

Republicans are learning TO get
there in every conceivable fashion.
The latest is the organization of Re-
publican Bicycle Campaign Club by
the young men of Plainfleld. New Jer-
sey. 1t is the first club of its kind in
America, but will not be the last.
Clubs will be organized throughout
New Jersey and doubtless other states
under the auspices of the Republican
League Clubs. These cavalier Harri-
son men may not only kindle enthusi-
asm by their novelty in time of parade,
but on election day fifty young men,
mounted on bicycles, each man with a
list of voters, can accomplish a great
work in getting Republicans to the
polls. The idea is worthy of adoption
by the Republican wheelmen of Wis
consin.-La Crosse Republican and

400th Anniversary.
President Harrison. complying with
the Act of Congress of June 29th, has
issued his proclamation making Fri
day, October 81, general holiday.
This is the recognition of the move
ment to put the celebration of the
Tooth anniversary of the discovery Of
America into the hands of all the peo
pie by giving it to the institution clos
est to the people and most character
istic of the people-the public school.
The movement undertaken by the
National Educational Association,
through an executive committee,
which has so presented it as to gain
the endorsement of the press and gen.
eral popular acceptance in advance of
this proclamation. The proclamation
is as follows:
Whereas, by joint resolution APP.
proved June 20, 1892, it was resolved
by the Senate and House of Represen.
tatives of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, THAT the
President of the United States be au-

Now therefore, L, Benjamin Harri-
son, President of the United States of
America, in pursuance of the afOre-
said joint resolution, do hereby APP
point Friday, October 81, 1892, the
tour hundredth anniversary of the dis.
covery of America by Columbus, as a

United States. ON that day let the
people SO far as possible, cease from
toll and devote themselves to such
exercises as may best express honor to
the diScoverer and their appreciation
of the great achievements OF tue four
completed centuries of American life.
Columbus stood in his age as the
pioneer OF progress and enlighten-
ment. The system of universal edu~
cation is in our age the most prOmi-
nent and salutary feature of the spirit
of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly
appropriate that the schools be made
by the people the center of the days

shall impress upon our youth the pa
triotic duties of American citizenship.
In the churches ana in the other

there be expressions or gratitude TO
Divine Providence for the deyout
faith of the discoyerer and for the Di.
vine care aud guidance which has
directed our history and so abundant
ly blessed our people.
In testimony whereof i have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
