HALLOWEEN DOINGS.

Our local exchanges of last week all
tell the same story of depredations on
Halloween, involving in some in
stances the wanton destruction OF
valuable property. Here in Mineral
Point gates were torn ruthlessly from
their hinges, fences pulled down and
carried away, and rods of sidewalk
torn up and destroyed. The youthful
strangers at our gates and walks ex'
hibited spirit of lawlessness that is
far from commendable. No custom.
however ancient, Of Halloween OBJ
servance, justllies the destruction of
property. A majority of people are
quite willing to allow young folks
reasonable latitude In playing their
pranks on Halloween; but line must
be drawn somewhere, and young peo-
pie taught to respect the rights and
property of others.

The Grow is the Farmers Friend

The Crow is the Farmers Friend.
Darlington Journal.
Over $1,000 have been paid out of
the county treasury this year for crow
heads ut 20 cents apiece; 5000 pro-
moters of corn growing ruthlessly
slaughtered at the behest and expense
of the corn growers-for all the mem
bers of the county board who voted
the bounty were farmers, If we remem-
Der rightly, excepting perhaps the
member from Argyle, who introduced
the resolution, and we don't know
what his business is; but no one
will dispute that it was Improbable
business for the taxpayers when the
crow and woodchuck resolution was
sanctioned by the board and carried
into effect by the county clerk and
treasurer. Over $4,000 have been paid
out by the treasury under this resolu-
ton, which would better have been
expended for tlannels to clothe the
naked pagans in hottest Africa.
The u. S. Secretary of Agriculture,
Hon. }. Sterling Morton, has recently
issued book for the information of
farmers who believe that crows are a
detriment to the corn Grower. This
book shows clearly by exact observa-
tions made all through the corn belt
for number of years, by farmers and
scientists, that the annihilation of
crows would mean destruction of
corn growing. Careful estimates show
that for every peck of corn destroyed
by the crows they eat up 3 pecks of
corn destroying grubs and bugs.

Assistant Attorney General Newell, of

such sale in the manner indicated may
be prosecuted under the anti-lottery

been a common practice to dispose of

The Milwaukee Journal says that
the state tax which Milwaukee county
must pay this year is $305, 225.i1- or
$250,0OO more than that county paid
last year; and there are hundreds of
thousands of people throughout the
state who agree with The Journals
statements that "all the quibbling, all
the explanations of which the licuten-
ants are capable will not alter the fact
that the state administration, both in
the legislative and executive branches,
has squandered the public funds.

SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS.


Recent occurrences In Mineral Point
have brought to the front question
which concerns the welfare OF every
home. We have reference to the mat
ter of selling liquor to minors. Every
dealer In " strong, spurious, malt, ar
dent or intoxicating drinks" before
license is granted him to sell, Is re-
quired to give bond in the pena
sum of five hundred dollars; in which
bond, among other things, he obligates
himself to "keep and maintain an
"orderly, and we'll regulated house; that
she will permit no gambling with cards
"dice or any device or implement fol-
"that purpose, within his premises OF
.any clubhouse, yard or shed, apper.
claiming thereto, that he WILL NOT
"sELL OR GIVE AWAY ANY INToXl'
COATING LIQUORS TO ANY MINORS
"having good reason to believe him to
abe such, unless upon the written
"order of the parents or guardian of
"such minor; OR TO PERSONS INToX-
"ICATED OR BORDERING urON INTOX-
ICATIoN, OR TO nABITuAL DRUNK
"ARDs."
Selling liquor to minors, to per
SONS intoxicated or bordering upon
intoxication, or to habitual drunkards,
cannot be too severely condemned,
wherever and by whomsoever practic-
ed. TO thus sell, is not only direct
violation of "the bond,' but outrages
a just public sentiment. In regard to
minors, 1t may be said that parents
should not allow their boys to frequent
places where liquor Is sold; and in the
main, The Democrat holds this criti-
cism to be just; for to our mind the
solution of the temperance question
lies In the oversight and training of
the young rather than In the prohibit
ion of the liquor traffic. But while In
many cases parents are guilty of al
lowing their sons to frequent saloons,
there are some homes without parents;
and others, where conditions are such
that parental restraint exists only In
name. Public sentiment demands
protection for the children OF such
homes. Violations of the obligations
of the license bond, in selling intoxi-
eating liquors to minors, to intoxicated
persons, to persons bordering upon in
toxication, and to habitual drunkards,
have done much to bring liquor selling
into such low repute. Public senti-
ment should not, and will not con
done these offences. Violations of
the spirit and letter of the law are al
together too frequent to be passed by
without reproof

SOUTHWESTERN WISCONSIN FAIL

At the annual meeting of the
Southwestern Wisconsin Industrial
Association, held on Wednesday, Oct.
80. resolution was introduced and
passed which provided for the appoint
ment of a committee of five to pre-
pare plan for the organization of the
association into a joint stock company.
The committee appointed under this
resolution consisting Of G. G. Cox,
w. II. Bennett, W. A. Jones, Calvert
Spensley and Thomas Bracken-met
on Saturday last, and prepared the
following plan for recognizing as a
corporation:
Plan for reorganization Of the
Southwestern Wisconsin Industrial
Association as corporations:
First. The capital stock of the cor
p0ration shall he $1,000.
Second. The property OF the asso-
citation shall be purchased for $1,000,
subject 10 ILS IlutDItuutSB.
Third. The shares of stock of the
corporation shall be $40 each, and
shall be worcestershire.
Fourth. Each present member Of
the old association shall be entitled
to one full paid share Of stock, with
out further payment.
Fifth. Each person owning a share
OF stock shall be member of the
new association.
We, the undersigned, each hereby
agree, I'm consideration of the sub
scription OF each Of the other parties
subscribing hereto, to subscribe for
the number Of shares Of the capital
stock Of the Southwestern Wiscon-
sin Fair, ca corporation to be here
after organizcd), set opposite our re-
spective names, and to pay for the
Same ut the rate of ten dollars per
share on or before February LIST, 1895.
On next Wednesday, Nov. 90, an

The movement is made for the pur-
pose Of placing the Southwestern Wis
consin Fair upon solid financial
foundation, lifting the associations
indebtedness of about $500, and
making needed Improvements. The
effort is surely commendable, and
should meet with support, not only
from every citizen of Mineral Point,
but from every resident of southwest
Wisconsin who Is interested in keep
ing our district Fair abreast with
the age In all that constitutes u sue
cessful industrial exposition. There is
no questioning the fact that the fairs
of the S. w. Wis. |. A. have been of
great benefit to the people of this sec
ton. 1t is of particular interest to
the people of Mineral Point to keep
them to the front; and, rs stated at
the meeting when the matter was
under consideration, the people Of
Mineral Point never fail in any enter
prise they undertake, and are ever
ready with hand and purse to assist in
advancing the city's interests. We
have faith to believe that the present
move In the direction indicated, will
meet with the hearty support of every
citizen of Mineral Point.
