written by mara man of unusual in
telligence and information. He IS a
staunch Republican; hut all must be
well nigh faultless TO gain his approha-
ton. BEFORE the election that placed the
Democrats in their present position Of
unqualified and un:rdmmrled power, he
said to us: Il cant vote for Whitelaw
Reid, anyway
His letter of today reads as follows (:
What do you think of the political s;;i-
alton? 1t looks to me as though the
Democrats arc digging their grave pretty
deep So that when they are buried again
they will b, past resurrection"

1t is quite time the farmer began to
take stock. He should count his cattle
horses, sheep and poultry, examine into
their condition, care for them. and lus-
band up his resources generally. THIS
must be done promptly, because great
change will almost Immediately come
upon the condition of the farmers. Prod
ucc from foreign farms is to be admitted
tree of duty into the United States, caus-
ing greater competition, more stuff i'll the
markets, and consequently lower prices.
Manufactured goods from foreign coun-
tries arc to come i'll greater quantities,
and many of our mills must be closed or
run on part time. This will lessen the
demand for farm produce. The people
who have been working in the mills will
have less money to spend, and, with the
markets gluttcd with foreign farm stutis,
prices will be very low. The American
farmer must be prepared.

Letters.
To the Editor ofThe Herah:--

To the Editor of The Herah.--
you may talk about Democratic
times. But the Republicans are at the
bottom of all ofthe mischief. They threat.
ened what they would do if the Demo
Gratis beat them. and they have done it
with vengeance. They will have a
great deal TO answer for"
This specimen Of clear-sightedness is
from the pen of a woman-one who has
carried prohibition party banner, and
has sung alike to the inconsistent men OF
both parties-"vote as you pray"
Let us hope that she will pray even for
the poor Republicans, who arc still so
~ickedly powerful, even in defeat. We
cannot quite see what lever OF mischief
they can hold even if they want to; but
that makes no difference, Of course.
But let us take an extract from another
letter that lies before us, This one is

Local Trade Clubs.


OfGront Benefit When Properly supported.
A we'll conducted business mems asso
citation, board of trade. Improvement
club, or any organization under another
name. having for its object the forward
ing of the interests Of the place In which
it is located. is great factor in pushing
the claims of the town to the front and
making it boom. Every town has n
large amount of latent enterprise lying
dormant, awaiting the opport unity for
exercise. There are also many desirable
business and manufacturing enterprises
seeking locations which W ould be warmly
welcomed and substantially encouraged
il some medium were provided through
which the citizens and those seeking in
vestment could confer and negotiate.
The phenomenal progress of all the
magic cities" of the south and west is
mainly due to the efforts of those organ
izations.
Let us have well supported business
mems association composed of wide
awake. go ahead, progressive citizens,
who will make known to the world the
inducements our town offers for the loca-
ton of manufacturing industries and
other enterprises which will employ la
Dor. make business for our merchants
and furnish home market for the pro-
duce of our farms. The time is now ripe
for this movement A great change is be-
ing wrought in manufacturing circles.
The e1igcncies of competition and the
conflicts with the question OF transpor-
tation and other economic questions have
convinced owners Of manufacturing
plants that it will be good business poll
cy to establish themselves in commune
ties convenient to the raw materials in
the smaller cities and towns. where real
estate is cheap and expenses small.
Experience shows that industries stu
ated remote from the ,congested popula-
ton of large cities strikes, lockouts and
other labor troubles are infrequent. and
the relations Of employer and employee
are much more pleasant. Under our in
terstate commerce laws the advantages
that great railroad ccnters once had
over less favored localities have been
overcome, and this inducement will no
longer draw manufactures to those
places, and the locality where the raw
material can be produced cheaply and
quickly will be the ideal location for the
future manufacturer.
These industries will in the coming
years be located somewhere Shall we
have our share of them 1t remains for
our readers to decide.

originated in jolse, IL was adorted
in seriousness and carried out with
dignity. "Old Abe" was captured
by Chippewa Indian named Chief
sky, son of Thunder of Bees, chief of
the Flambeau Chippcwas. He was
bought by white man for one bushnl
of corn and presented to q company
OF volunteers, ut Eau Claire, which
later joined the Eighth regiment.
After the regiment was organized the
eagle was formally adopted for war
symbol something like the eagles of
the Roman legions and of Napoleons
regiments lie was named "Old Abe"
in honor OF the president; the Eau
Claire company. was christencd the
Eau Claire Eagles" and the Eighth
took the name, Eagle regiment.
As "Old Abe" was chosen to typify
in goo faith the American eaglo go
ing forth to war, it was proper that he
have place beside the rcgimental
banners and perch was constructed
at state expense, like other battle
standards. The perch was in the form
vi u Slltul Wltu u CTOSN IL TcSl.
1t was attached to staff and carried
by II soldier the same us a battle flag,
and never left the side of the colors.
At the sound of the buglc the eagle
would start, dart up its head, and
then droop it grace fully. He seemed
to understand orders and move
mcnts, and at the command atten-
tion his dcmcanor was quiet and
grave. When the lines formed for
battle he was anxious and uneasy,
but during action his wings were
never still and his mouth stood wide
open. In moments of great excite
ment he would scream either in anger
or eXultation. At the battle of
Pennington the regiment to- u man
went down fiat on the earth to dodge
showers of canister. "Old Abe" at
once hoped from his perch, and
although told to remain on it, refused
to go back. When he was finally
placed on the ground, he hattened
himself out just like the men, and the
moment they arose he sprang to his
perch. He served the full term of
the regiment, and his brave military
bearing pleased and animated the
soldiers far more than battle.
