August Lindner went up to New Hol-
stein Saturday evening to be back on the
midnight train. The train was about
two hours late and the office closed, SO
that wait on the platform OF depot
considering the temperature of the
weather was by no means agreeable
But the night was very bright and as
August has some connection with the
weather bureau, he may have beguiled
the time in meteorological observations
Coasting is popular sport in this 10.
cality. The numerous hills OF the neigh
borhooo make it possible for every one
to be Accommodated, and there are few
here who have not had some experience
in this pleasant pastime. What a world
of happiness must be in coasting for the
person who believes that he who has
spent no time IN this diversion has not
lived life half to its fullest.
The Kiel Wooden Ware Co. uses a pair
of mammonth sleds to haul logs from the
depot to the mlll-yard. The hunks are
eight feet long and the sleds are appar-
emily load themselves.

the proper time to wend homeward.
P.O. Schubert has been suffering from
very severe cold during the past week,

Paul does not allow himself to be count
ed out because of slight causes.

| THERE is something IN the character
| OF the support which Col. Knight is re-
| ceVing which raises the suspicion that
| 1t is not disinterested. Col. Knight has
not endeared himself to the democracy
OF the state by any valuable service No
one ever heard of his advocating demo-
cratic principles and his name has rarely
been mentioned during election cam
palgns. He has been SO engrossed with
business that he has not taken the time
to become popular, if indeed lie has the
elements of popularity. What is. the
source of his strength? Why are the
politicians who always have
claims when success gives promise OF
their liquidation-clustering about him?
A glance over the list of Knights most
prominent supporters reveals the names
OF men sincerely anxious to make a har-
vest OF the incoming democratic admin
istration ana to gather the golden sheaves
for themselves. Why should the office
seeker expect more from Knight for SER
vices rendered than he should from
Bragg's gratitude? Why All, there is
the secret of knights strength. That is
why recent convert to democracy, a
man who has done the party no service,
man of very ordinary ability. aspires to
the highest office in the gift of the state
at the hands OF party with which he is.
as yet hardly identified. and that is,why
his aspirations have in them the possibli-
lty of realization.

THE school question which has been
revived somewhat by the visit of Mgr
Saltolli is in danger Of causing some dis
sensiOns between the German and the
Irish Catholics. Nothing could be more
disastrous or uncalled for. The people
OF both these nationalities, particularly
those of the same faith, have every reason
to bs anxious to dwell in harmony. IL
| most places, except Ill the large cities they
attend the same church In common, and
discord between them means unhappiness
to both. The prelates of the church have
not divided on national issues If Arch.
bishop Ireland and Archbishop KatzeI
are IN disagreement, so also are Arch
bishop Ireland and Archbishop Corrigan
both Irish
The announcement of the representa-
tive of the Pope should not cause any
division. He stated simply what every
ones conscience should approve, that a
child failing to receive the secular in
structlOn his needs demand, the state
should interpose in his behalf. What is
there yeprehensible in this doctrine or
what lie there in it that should be dis
tasteful to any one?

INDIANA begins to claim some consld-
Grafton as candidate for the name of
Dark and Bloody Ground. There are two
families living near Anderson, Ind, who
for years have been engaged in deadly
feud. Though in the past blood has
been spilled it was without loss Of life
The Lawsons are Kentuckians, the Swim
fords Swedes. Lately it was evident an
outbreak was at hand and it came on
Sunday last in church. When the row
began the other worshipers made hasty
exit and the fight ragged inside the church
until two were killed, two fatally
wounded and a number seriously injur-
ed, The Swinfords won the fight but it
was a costly victory.

NOTES FROM LIBERTY.

MIR. and Mrs.,Ow Murphy of Mason
City, Iowa. are reviving Old memories
here.
If Dan Tracy was single man people
might think he had girl here. He ex-
ploins he is killing rabbits.
The population OF the town Is still in
creasing. This time Peter Brady rejoices
at the birth Of girl.
One never realizes the number of peo-
pie gone from here until about the holt
day time when they come back on a
visit.
For the first time in quite number of
years the people here are taking quite an
interest in the selection of a County
Judge.
From private information received from
Wausaukee, Wis. it has been learned that
the lumbermen of that section intend to
exhibit at the Worlds Fair, load Of
logs consisting of not less than $4,000 #
and drawn by one team. 1t will be as
good sight as the monolith.
There is good reason to fear that the
marriage fever will again break out in
this locality, but then with proper pre-
cautions it can be kept under control.
Are we drifting to barbarism? Hard
ly single one from here attended
the farmers institute.
Chas Lutzke IS talking q. starting a
creamery next senson. We need more
such men as Charlie.

The presidential electors met in the
capitals OF their respective states on Mon
day and voted for President and Vice
President of the United States. Towhat
extent custom has overridden the constit-
utionmay be gathered from the lack of in
terest taken In the real election of Presi-
dent. Cleveland was elected on Monday of
this week In the manner provided by the
constitution. The trainers Of the constitu-
ton without doubt intended that the
electors should exercise discretion. But
custom requires that they simply carry
out the wishes OF the people expressed
IN the general election. Our constitu-
ton Is slowly changing into the law of
pre- cedent.

The election of Col. Knight to the
United States Senate will bring to light
a great many things with reference to
his management of the land office not
pleasant to him or agreeable to the demo-
cratic party. There are certain things
now in the possession of paper in this
state the publication of which would
cause some little dIsaffection at the cleo
ton of Col Knight. OF course the demo-
Gratis in the legislature may act their will
in the matter but 1t is hardly fair to place
the democratic party on the defensive,
and particularly when in doing SO they are
assuming responsibility for republican
official

CLEvPLAsDs outspoken opposition to
Murphy's election to the United States
senate was not a movement to defeat
Murphy because the President elect knew
that it was not in his power TO do this.
Such at least is the explanation OF some
of his friends. 1t was simply declara-
ton of war, as Cleveland knew the sena-
tors from New York would be hostile to
any line of policy he might inaugurate.
He perceived how unwise it would be to
patch up peace with Hill and Murphy
and threw down the gauntlet so that the
people might understand the course he
intended to follow.

The election of John H. Knight to the
| United States Senate would be such an
insult to those who have worked in sea-
! son and out of season for the democratic
| party, that 1t would justify discontinue
ance of effort for the success of the party
IN future. Col. Knight was not only a
republican up to the time Cleveland was
first elected to the presidency, but he
was a republican Office holder and a dis
| penser of federal patronage under that
| party. A conversion which brings with
1t advantage to the convert, may we'll
have It's SIN )erlty suspected. Col.
Knights views on the tariff are not in
harmony with those of the democratic
party as enunciated in the platform
adopted by the last democratic national
convention. Col. Knight is protection
lst, and is consequently republican. Is
the democratic party through its repre-
sentatlves going to confess it's poverty of
men whose democracy and ability are un
questioned, by electing to the United
States Senate man who has ALWAYS
acted with the republican party and de-
serted it only when it ceased to command
success? A man whose democracy to-day
will not stand the only safe test by which
genuine democracy may be determined
revenue for tariff only? Is that the man
we are to have foisted upon Us when we
have won victory by adherence to prin-
ciple and throwing expediency and COM
promise to the winds?
Why should the claims of Bragg or If
Mitchell be postponed to those of this
man who has grown wealthy through
holding federal Office under republican
administrations? 1t is time that demo-
Gratis speak plainly on this matter and
prevent the consummation OF political
outrage, for such would the election of
Col. knight be. If man can change
his party affiliations as he would his coat.
and then claim merit equal with those
who have borne the burnt and burden of
battle without wavering, then devotion
ceases to be virtue and allegiance be-
comes an offense.

HE supreme court handed down it's
opinion on Tuesday IN the state treasury
cases. 1t is in favor of the state through
out and means that Harshaw or his
bondsmen, must turn into the state treas
ury the sum Of S129,63S, McFettridge the
sum of S2O7 ,652, and GueDt Their 1888, O6O,
making in all S525,35l. These amounts
are not only the interest on state funds,
but the interest on what was retained
by the treasurer at 4 per cent. per an
mum up the time Of trial An Oshkosh
bank holds $4,000 of this interest re-
celved brom the state funds while Har-
shaw was treasurer, but this is only one
half of what must be returned to the
state. Harshaw's bondsmen are ali good
but be is not wealthy. Many of Guen-
theirs bondsmen are people in moderate
circumstances and it is said that he lost
heavily IN business since he left congress-
Mofettrdge IS wealthy but when the
judgment against him is paid most of
his property will be absorbed. Baetz and
kuehn will now be sued. Their bonds
men will probably have to stand the loss.
The opinion is written by Chief Justice
Lyon and all the judges concur in it. 1t
was expected. Indeed few days prior
to the election last fall it was whispered
about that decision had been reached
and that it was favorable to the state.
This was without doubt, matter of con-
lecture

GAIL HAMILTON occasionally gives
proof that she is a woman who acts from
impulse more than from reason. Her
letter to Gladstone relative to the pun
ishment of Mrs. Maybrick is really a
piece of lmpertlnence, but it is prompted
by womanly sympathy. But this world
could not be run on sympathy alone, par
ticularly when dealing with those who
take human life.

to have been a hoax. The reporter drew
on his imagination quite freely as he kill

is that it was a scheme to secure money
