That's the Point.

Our valued friend, J. S. Nichols of
Fertile writes us.
II have had many a hard, wordy
struggle to defend Fish, but his last
few papers have nearly convinced
me That he is. not the man I be-
lieved him to be. ~ Now as
| think over Fish's attacks on S. M.
Owen, and read the charges of
DOODLE" am convinced no sane
man can go on supporting the Great
West unless Fish proves himself in
nocent of the charges made by Mr..
Donnelly. That gentleman would
not sell his soul by procuring false
witnesses against Fish. as alleged by
some of the fool friends of the G. w.
But let us drop quarrels and go on
with the good work"

BIOGRAPHICAL.

From the Illustrated Historical Atlas OF
the State OF Minnesota. Page 256.
"Hon. William Meighen" was born
in Greene county, Pennsylvania, on
the fifth of December, 1916. His faith
er was from Donegal Co., Ireland,
and emigrated to the state Cf Penn
sylvania, landing at Philadelphia on
the fifteenth of September, 1893, be-
ing then about fifteen years of age
About the beginning of the present
century he married Miss Elizabeth
Hughes, native of Pennsylvania
but also of Irish parentage, by
whom he had family of ten chill
dren-six sons and four daughters, all
of whom lived to mature age. OF
the sons the subject of this biogra-
ply was the fifth in the order of
birth.
His advantages for education in
youth were very meagre, only a few
months of winter school were Access
sible to farmers boys, (of which he is
one) in that region. The school
which he attended was kept in clog
cabin" with openings around the
sides for windows over which was
stretched creased paper to keep out
the cold and not entirely obstruct
the daylight. The common school

part of Pennsylvania till after his
days of pupilage, yet with these disad-
vantages he taught school when he
was only II years of age and con-
tinued for term each winter for
five successive years, the last two of
which were under the common school
system. At the same time he la
bored on the farm during the sum-
mers.
On the 23rd of April, 1S43, he left
home to seek his fortune in the west,
alone and with very little money but
with good principles instilled into
him by precept and example from his
parents which has proved of great
value in his struggle of life. In 1874,
he arrived in Galena, operated in the
lead mines till April, 1849, when with
the excited throng of that year he
turned ''gold seeker" and went to
California. After spending two years
in the mines, he returned to Galena
and in the fall of 1852, was elected
sheriff of Joe Daviess Co. ON the
Wing ticket. Hon. E. B. Washburn
being first elected to congress on the
same ticket that year.
On the 18th of February, 1855, he
arrived in Minnesota stopping in
Forestville, Fillmore county, where
he occasionally followed the business
of surveyor of land and dealer in real
estate. In the fall of 1859, he was
elected on the republican ticket tC
the state legislature. He was again
elected to the house in 1868 and 1869
And in 1872 was elected to the senate
from the 3rd senatorial district and
served four years."

The Editorial Limitation

There are some readers of neWspa-
pers who fail to understand why it is
that an editor does not always stand
ready to assume the role of a prose
cutting attorney. The reason is that
his business is editorial, not legal,
and that if he were to go outside of
his proper field, the work inside of
his proper field would suffer.
1t often happens that an editor
has knowledge of abuses sufficient to
Justify him in calling attention to
them in general way, for the bene-
fit OF the public, but not sufficient to
warrant him in publishing the names
OF guilty persons. Evidence which is
ample to produce moral conviction
IN the mind of every intelligent man
is not always enough to constitute
legal proof. The editor has done his
duty when he has called public atten-
ton to existing wrongs. 1t is not his
business to pursue Individual Grim

The other candidates who will assume
positions az pastors in this state
are Chr. SEEKER, of Manitowoc, as

Without doubt Governor McKin-
ley, Of Ohio, is to-day the foremost
man in the Republican party. The
mantle of Blaine has fallen upon his
shoulders, and he is looked upon by
Republicans in all sections of the
Union as the natural leader. He rises
superior to the apparent defeat at the
ballot-box of the policy which hes
tanned and which took his name; he
rises superior to his personal misfor-
tunes, which would have forced many
a man from public life. He is stron-
ger before the country than ever be-
fore, and the man whom the Repub-
lican party will undoubtedly select for
the head of its next National ticket.
McKinley's greatest element Of
strength lies in his consistency. He
believes that the policy Of protection
and reciprocity is the one which
points to national prosperity and
the best interests of all the people,
and he stands as staunchly for the
support of these ideas when they are
under a. cloud as he did when they
basked in the full sunshine of pros
perity. He has nothing to take back,
nothing to modify, nothing to apollo
gize for. His attitude is so manly,
courageous and inspiring that it can
not fail to command therespect even
Of his adversaries, and it makes him
more than ever before the rallying
point for all who believe that he is
right,

ANDREW DOUGLAS, of the town of
Ashippun, Dodge county, has been APP
pointed, by the recommendation OF
Land Commissioner Lamoreux, to the
office of examiner of Chippewa Indian
lands in Minnesota. Regarding Mr..
Douglas qualifications for this office
the editor of The Appleton Post, who
knows Mr.. Douglas well, has the fol-
lowing to say:
Andrew was born and raised on a
farm in the town of Alderly, Dodge
county. Arriving at maturity he open
ed general store at the village of AL
derby, adjacent to his home. With rea-
sonable success he has conducted this
business for upwards of fifteen wears.
lie is a generous, genial product of
rural life, but for the position to which
he is appointed he is about as well
qualified as an ordinary butcher would
pc to lecture on the human anatomy in
4 medical college. We doubt if he can
tell pine tree from a mackerel kit or
distinguish a section line from the trail
OF garter snake. When Com missioner
Lamoreux appointed Andrew Doug
las he was fully conscious of his mex
perience and lack of ability to detect
any Of the past villainies of the timber
thieves in his own party or to prevent
future depredations by them on the
government domain. In the hands of
such pine land sharks as Villas and
Knight, Andrew will prove of about as
much official Importance as would a
wooden legged game warden in run
ming down an expert poacher."

president CLEVELAND seems to
have come face to face with the Ger
man question, and it is troubling
him as much as it troubles Governor
Altgeld and Mayor Harrison. Henry
+. Raab, State Superintendent of
Public instruction for this State, is q
candidate for the consulship at
Frankfort, Germany, and his friend,
Congressman Foreman, recommended
him because he was a German, born
on German soil. But Assistant Sec
rotary of State Quincy is reported as
saying that President Cleveland had
grown very tired of being asked to
consider men for German consulates
because they are German born. He
preferred Americans who could speak
German for such places. This declar-
alton Is regarded by Mr.. Raabs
friends as a notice that he will be al
lowed to remain in Illinois and serve
out his term as State Superintendent
OF Public Instruction. Mr. Cleveland,
like Governor Altgeld and Mayor
Harrison, was very solicitous about
the rights of the Germans before cleo
tlon, and especially those in Illinois.
But after election Governor Altgeld
thought the Germans ought to be
satisfied with having German gov
ernor. Mayor Harrison remembered
that his best friends were Irish, and
President Cleveland has also come to
the conclusion that the Germans
have had their share of the patron
age.-Inter Ocean.
