Marshfield and Pullman.

In answer to the senseless charge made
by the Democratic press that Mai, Up
ham is the Pullman of Wisconsin, the
Evening Wisconsin prints the following
excellent editorial:
"There is not a man in Wisconsin who
has less nonsense about him or who is
more approachable than Maj. Upham.
The Democrats may give him as many
aristocratic titles as they please, but he
will continue to be, as he is now and as
he always has been, one tf the people-a
republican-an American-with q CHEEKY
word for every man, rich or poor, and
n heart full of generosity and the milk
of human kindness.
ITO compare the town of Marshfield to
the town of Pullman is to exhibit a de-
gree of ignorance that is shameful in a
citizen of Wisconsin. George NJ. Pull
IL. upham founded Marshfeld, Wis. So
far the parallel runs between the two
places, but there it ends
1.-The Upham Manufacturing company
does not own the houses of it's employees.
Ii, has never even owned the land on
which those houses stand. The owner of
the and was the Fox and Wisconsin Riv-
er Improvement company. From the lat
ter company the thrifty employees of the
Upham Manufacturing company pur-
chased the ground on which TO erect their
little homes. The Upham Manufacture
ing company, in advance of their ability
to pay for it, supplied them with lumber
to build. The Upham Manufacturing
company, by establishing prosperity in
the town, enhanced the value of real es-
tate, and thus contributed to the improve
ment of the fortunes Of its employees
as well as by paying them wages for
their work. The statement is paraded in
the Democratic press that Marshfield has
IA company store. 1t is a fact. but not a
damaging fact. The store is an enter
prise conducted independently of the com-
pany's main business. No employe needs
to buy at it unless he likes. There are
other stores in Marshfield where anyone
is free to trade if he pleases. There are,
it is said, more property owners in Marsh,
field than in n other town of its size
in Wisconsin. 1t is a rule for the en-
ployes of the company to own their own
homes. Some of them have worked for
the company for sixteen years. There
has never been a strike against the Up
ham Manufacturing company, and nc
man has ever brought suit against Maj
Upham to recover wages.
THAT is the record of Marshfeld and OF
Maj. Upham, its founder. 1t is a rec
ord to be proud Of"

The Engineers Denial.

Mic Engel, Jr., who has been charged
with using time paid for by the city in
prosecuting his private business, denies
the charge absolutely. On the contrary,
he says he has given the city more time
than il has paid for. The engineers saw
that the Milwaukee engineering corps Is
comparatively small, and that every man
has to hustle. The city engineers office
is not torn up in the slightest over the
charges made by the civil engineers Ia
the common council, for it is believed
that all the charges can be proven uD-
founded in fact.

There is more point in the following few
lines than can be found in an average
speech containing many columns. IL
comes from another state, but it will
apply in Oregon just as well, or better,
viz: I'VE let our timber rot, and buy
fencing. We throw away our ashes and
grease, and buy soap. We raise dogs
and buy hogs. We let our manure 90 Ia
waste. We grow weeds. and buy yega-
tables and brooms. We catch 5-cent fish
with a 81 rod. We build schoolhouses
and send our children off to be educated
And, lastly, we send our boys out with
a $40 gun and a $40 dog to hunt for 10
cent birds"
That is precisely what is being done all
over Oregon.-Portland Oregonian.

A Black Week in the History of the
Democratic Party.

DenoCrttiC ESFty
John Russell Young, the distinguished
Washington correspondent, In writing
from the capital to the Philadelphia Star,
says that the week in which the Presl-
dents letter was read in the House, and
the debate that followed in the Senate,
will be known in American history as the
'black week" His ten points against the
Democracy are as follows:
Never, not even when President John-
son fought Congress, have we had such a
flow Of scandal as this now oozing from
Washington. Let us sum ii up:
II. The President writes TO Mr.. Wilson
a letter saying in plain words that tariff
REFORM as he called the miserable bust.
ness, has been sacrificed by the 'peridy'
of Democratic senators.
III. He appeals tc Mr.. Wilson to save
his honor as a Democrat in this-that
having pledged the country in favor of
tariff reform, these pledges should be re-
deemed.
iii. The country is not considered in
these entreaties-simply the pledges of
a Democratic leader TO his partiSans.
NV. Senator German, speaking from
his own knowledge, and summoning other
senators as willing witnesses, AYERS that
the tariff bill denounced by Mr.. Cleveland
as 'peridy' had been submitted to the
President and approved.
"V. While the President, in Difference
TO a recently-developed New York public
opinion 'd~eprecates' the income tax. ii is
shown that he had suggested such a tax
in a public message.
"VI. The Presidents demand for free
Goa is declared by his political friends to
be in the interest of a Nova Scotia coal
syndicate owned by personal friends.
The direct result of free coal will be the
destruction of one of the most important
industries of Pennsylvania, to enrich the
syndicate.
wi. 1t appears that before Mr..
Cleveland was nominated he was stood
up by two Louisiana senators, the late
Randall Gibson and the present Justice
White, and compelled to promise pro
lection to sugar
VIII. The outcome is that every poor
man in the United States must pay from
2 to 3 cents a pound extra for sugar to en-
able a few planters in the tropical sections
of Louisiana to compete with the West
India islands and Brazil.
IN. The Sugar trust, a concern large
~ owned by aliens, gave money in the re-
cent elections in return for a concession
worth to them $4,000, 900 a year.
IN. The Whisky trust, another mer-
cenary and infamous combination, has ar
ranged in the same manner for n monopoly
worth several millions.
This may be called the Black Week.

bic taste, almost with royal magnifcence.
The strong face and deep.set eyes give
her n sad expression, and make her look
young enough TO lead fashion. The Cash

they belong to the most aristocratic set IN

The Manipulation of the state Funds fo
Election Purposes.

The Manipulation of the State Funds for
Election Purposes.
On the Dist of July the Milwaukee
journal printed a two-column article IN
the eorm Of a dispatch from Madison, In
which il attempted to show that by the
Honesty and economy of the Democratic
state administration" something like
three-uuarters Of a million of dollars had
been gaved which could be applied on the
s.tax burden of the people this year.
The Milwaukee Sentinel gives the state
Democracy a pretty hot blister for this
warm weather, by a thorough expose Of
the false claims of the sham reformers.
The main portion Of the Sentinels answer
TO the Journals figures is as follows:
1.-The plot was so subtle, the fiction so
realistic and the style so dashing that
Rudyard Kipling, Eugene Debs and Tom
Ochiltree might nationally be led to form
q syndicate for the purpose of envying
the author. The story was allowed TO
lose nothing of originality, excepting a
change of dates, in its reproduction a
week or more later as a news dispatch
from Madison in such enterprising Dem
ocratic newspapers as the Oshkosh Times,
and at the same time demonstrated the
care and fidelity with which Chairman
Wall edits all of the organs of his Democ-
racy within the jurisdiction of the roster
jobbing administration.
FOR intelligent consideration of Chair
man Walls effort and easy understands
ing of the sequel to his story it Is well to
quote the scare type headlines used in his
organ adaptation. This is the caption:

ABOUT ESSEX SWINE.
Some Merits and Defects of One of the
 Oldest Breeds.

Some Merits and Defects of One of the
 Oldest Breeds.
 This is one of the oldest English breeds of swine. Its merits have ob- tained for it well-deserved popular ity in this country, as well as in it's native land. The modern Essex breed is the result of a cross of the original stock on the Neapolitan. It belongs to one of the so-called small breeds.
 Essex swine are black, or, rather, ash-b black in color; they have a short dished face, broad between the eyes; erect, thin ears, full jowls, short, thick neck, body of medium length, broad, deep and straight, with heavy hams, bones fine. but sufficiently strong to support the body; hair fine and soft, but thin; no bristles; legs short and fine, but straight and set wide apart; hoofs erect.
 When matured, the improved Essex will weigh from three to four hundred pounds. They mature early, are pro, life and possess great vigor of consti' tuition. They fatten easily. range well and, not being troubled with mange or sun-scald, are a peculiarly valuable breed for the south. The Essex are excellent as cross, being sure to give quality and early maturity to any breed. When crossed upo1 common or coarser swine they will i'm prove them almost beyond recognition The objection urged against them i' their tendency to fatten rapidly, whicl causes the carcasses to lack the de sired proportion of lean meat. Thi
