For Clerk of the Court.

EDITOR OF The HERALD:-Among
the many candidates who will come be-
fore the Republican county convention
next week for a nomination, will be
Jas. NJ. Hayd of Beetown, who will
come up with bis home delegation to
support him for the office of Clerk of
the Court. Twice before in the last
eight years he has been candidate for
that office, but other competitors were
successful. and he has never sulked in
his tent, but kept on working for his
party and more fortunate competitors
the same.
There is no one acquainted with him
but will admit that be is emlAently
qualified. He is not ashamed of the
fact that he performed the duties of
janitor 10 pay for his tuition, in the
school OF Sherman Page at Lancaster
years ago, and at the age of nineteen
enlisted ia Co. c., 25th Wis. Infantry,
and served until mustered out of the
regiment. being the youngest OF four
brothers who served their country in
the hour of need. Two Of whom gave
their lives to its service and two re-
turned to their home again. After this
he taught twenty-five terms of school in
different parts of Grant county, and
since then has devoted his attention to
farming. A ready accountant and q
superior penman. he will till the office
he desires with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of the people.
One more claim viii prefer for him,
which should have weight with those
who believe in fairness and Justice.
Since 1860 there has not been q citizen
of Beetown holding 4 county office. al
though we have frequently presented
tie names of good and qualified men
tor different offices. The town, how
ever. has usually kept working right
along for the nominees and giving Re-
publican msjorities. Is it rot about
time that our claims were recognized?
We trust that this year they will be.
and that our choice, after lapse of
thmty-four years, will bethe choice tf
the convention. and gratifv many citi-
zens of BEETowN.

a FEW NOTES FROM MERRY ENGLAND

Henry Baker, ESQ.,, has Just returned
from six weeks trip to his old home
in Cornwall, England. He has i'm
proved in health, and certainly had
very enjoya Die time. This is his second
trip. the other being some thirty years
ago, and he says things have changed
materially since then. The rush of
population is to the cities and towns
from the rural districts. England, like
Wisconsin, is giving up the growing of
wheat, foreign countries being able to
send it in cheaper than it can be raised
there, India furnishing great quantity.
Mr.. Baker finds the Englishmen at his
old home keenly alive to the tariff ques-
ton and anxlously watching the pro-
9ress of tne present tariff bill. Most of
them think the tariff almost a crime,
that it is wicked and sinful and we are
selfish neghbors. and that we ought to
let them in with their cheap goods.
Mr.. Baker doesn't take great deal of
stock in the ''cheap goods idea, so he
asked his free trade friends to tell him
the cost of the suit he had on. After
examination they told him ''two pound
five." He felt glad to be able to tell
them that he gave one pound fifteen, at
store in Lancaster, difference of
about four dollars in favor of this coun-
try. This was somewhat of damper,
but it was hard to make them believe
that America could get on without Eng
lands help, or the help of any other
country for that matter, in the way of
manufactures. Mr.. Baker saw many
THINGS in his native land that sh0yv
great progress since he was there be-
fore. Down in Camborne he was the
guest of cousin of Mrs. S. Barstow
and of nephew of Charles Harvey.
ESQ.,, both of this city. The Camborne
mines are not worked as they once
were, and comparatively little ore is
now raised. The season in England
has been a vet and chilly ore, with too
much rain for good crops. The labor
ing men in the country districts are
happy and generally in good circum-
stances, caused largely by the labor
flocking to the cities, thus making farm
help scarce and in good demand. Mr..
Baker never missed meal on his trip,
no storms occurring while crossing
either way. The homeward trip was
made from Queenstown to Sandy Hook
in days and Is hours, nn ship loaded
with 1,500 persons. Mr.. Geo. Stewart
parted company with Mr. Baker at Liv-
erpool. to 60 to Scotland, and they have
not seen each other since.

The Carnegie Armor Plate
Frauds.

THE report Of the House committee
on naval affairs, which investigated
the charges that the Carnegie Com
pany had perpetrated frauds upon the
government in furnishing armor plate
for the new war ships sustains the ale
CATIONS OF the cOmpany's aceusers aud
scores tie company severely. The re-
port recommends that fiity-nine sus-
pceted plates now IN place on nav war
ships be removed for test as t. their
fitness for use. This recommendation
viii probably be adopted. as that seems
to be the only way IN which conclusive
proof OF the guilt of toe contractors
can be secured. The work will be ex.
pensive, but nevertheless it should be
done, and if q test OF the plates shows
them to be below the requirement Of
the contract. the Carnegie Company
should be mulcted IN a sum sufficient
10 reimburse the government for is
trouble and expense and IN addition
fined heavily 10 punishment for is
offense.
IL will be remembered that when the
Carnegie Company was fined for the
first offense of this kind that were
brought to the attention of the govern.
ment, President Cleveland reduced the
amount of the fine. This favor was
attributed to the fact that MIR. Carnegie
had published tariff reform letter
that pleased the Democrats and as
founded Republicans. The transaction
looked very much like bargain and
sale. The time has passed for any
REPETITION of such tactics on the part of
the Carnegie Company. and from APP
pearances it seems certain that the of
Tending contractors will be punished
severely for their crooked work.-Erea-
ing Wisconsin.

For Clerk of the Court. G.
Churchill.
Communicated

Since it has become the fashion for
candidates for county offices to be
placed before the people in commu-
nication giving a brief sketch of their
lives and qualifications, | BEG space.
Mr.. Editor, for a few words concern
ing Mr.. Churchill. He was born ia
the town of Lima in 1865. His par
ents lived on a farm, but his father
dying when he was five years old, his
mother left the farm AMI went TO
Platteville. When twelve years of
age, Mr. Churchill began to depend
largely upon himself for livelihood,
working on farms in the summer and
fall and attending district school in
the winter. Later he entered the
Normal School at Platteville, doing
good work, and when his means fell
short he would teach term or two to
enable him to 90 on In this way he
creditably completed a four years
course, graduating in 1888 or SO.
Since then he has been principal of the
High School at Cadott two years, and
at Cassyille three years, proving him.
self an efficient teacher. He has al
ways been Republican of the unwa-
vering kind, and in 1888 was the
President of the Young Mems Repub-
lican Club at Platteville. He is a very
pleasant and accommodating man, in
dustrious and prompt in the discharge
of any duty imposed upon him, in fact
possesses the highest qualifications for
first-class county official.

EDGAR POE's EGoTIsM.
Especially When He Was Under the
Influence of Liquor.

Edgar Allen Poe was one of the most er-
ratio men 1 ever knew" said Librarian
Saunders of the Astor library to a New
York Evening Sun reporter the other day.
He was constantly in hot water as a re-
suit Of his carelessness and indifference to
the feelings of others. He thoroughly ap-
preciated his own genius. and when he had
been drinking, which was Of frequent oc-
currence, he could talk of nothing but him.
self and his work, and the jealousy of other
writer's.
81 remember meeting him In Broadway at
Barclay street one day, few weeks after
the first publicati ton of his poem of The
Raven and when everybody was talking of
that remarkable production. Poe had been
drinking heavily, and, as usual, when in
toNicated, was very effusive in his manner
knew him quite well in those days, and he
usually stopped for a chat whenever we
Glanced to meet.
"On this occasion Poe was almost maud
lin. He called out to me from a distance,
me in his arms.
Saunders he said, 1.-THE Raven" is the
greatest poem that ever was written. Peo-
pie are beginning to appreciate real genius
I'm going to go to England and read that
poem before the queen. 1 think I'll have an
elegant presentation copy bound to give to
her.
Poe went on in that strain for quite a
while, speaking fast and in a loud voice

much troubled about his clothing, and asked
me il thought 1t would be absolutely nee
essary to get a dress suit for the occasion

THE next time l saw him he was very
much depressed, and was suffering from a
fit of melancholia, to which he was subject.
He spoke of a conspiracy among the other
authors of America to belittle his genius
and to smother his work
" But posterity shall judge he said, with
a CLEAN of pride in his eye. Future genera
lions will be able to sft the gold from the
dross, and then '"The Raven" will be be-
held shining above them al, AS diamond of
