A decision has just been rendered
by the supreme court which, says the
Madison Democrat will have IN i'm
portant bearing upon the enforcement
OF the fish and flame laws of Wiscon-
sin. The court decides that the non
export laws, which forbid the send
ing of game, such NJ deer or wild
fowl out Of the state where it Is killed,
do not contraveno the constitution of
the United States and ARE valid The
principle of the decision il that the
property of wild game is in the state;
and that the state can regulate the
killing, and can give to the person
who catches 1t only qualified prop
erty on the game captured. He may
no allowed to own IL for some, but
not for all purposes, and 1t does not
give him properly in the game to send
IL out of the state.

THURSDAY. MARCH 2G. 1896.

Democracy's opportunity for 1896 is
outlined in the following extract from
an article upon "The Political Sit
uation,' in Harper's Weekly for March
81:
"After last falls elections The
Weekly said I'VE believe, If the Re-
publicans nominate a trimmer, or a
man either tainted with the evil OF
bossism or possessed of unsound cur
rency views, and If the Democrats
nominate man of good character
and ability, that many Of those who
voted the Republican ticket at the last
election will vote for the Democrat,
while the vast army Of this years
stay at homes will go to the polls.
1--WE believe now that n sound mon
ey Democrat on II sound-money plat
form will defeat any Republican
trimmer on two-faced platform.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed
condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inllamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inilamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by

The farmers Of the country are M.
pcaling to congress, just now. for IN
increased duty on hay. Thousands Of
petitions have been in circulation in
tho country III tho past few weeks,
signed by hundreds of thousands of
farmers, asking congress to increase
the rate Of duty on hay. The reason
of this ia the enormous increase in
the importntions Of hay, mostly from
Canada, since the repeal of the Mckin-
ley law. The rate of duty ON hay
under the Mckinley tariff was \ per
ton. In the year following the enact
ment of that law, the mportiona OF
hay dropped from l2hOOo toms to
10000. The Wilson law repealed the
III ton rate established 10y the Mckin.
ley law, and ia it's place pat Il duty
Of % per cent advalolcm, which
amounts to about $l,6O per ton. So
the present rate of duty on hay
under tho Wilson law is only about
one third what il was under the Me.
kinley law. The result of it il the
enormous increase in the imporlattens
of hay, The milwaukee, Photographs

the currency through free silver legis-
lation. The friends of these two
forms of protection joined forces and
enacted the Sherman silver law and
the Mckinley tariff law. Both these
hurtful measures have been repealed.
The general welfare can best be pro-
NOTED by preventing the enactment
of any such burdensome laws in the
future. The American citizen should
keep his face turned to the future.

NOT MISREPRESENTED.

Several weeks ago we published an
article on the Primitive Methodist
Church with special reference to its
position and prospects in the west.
This we did because the strength of
the Western Conference is in this
region more than half Of it being in
the southern part of Iowa county, and
much of the rest being contiguous to
It, All churches have their business
aspect as well as their religious side,
and it seems better that facts that
have IN important bearing on both,
should be stated in such a form that
they can he weighed and pondercd in
stead Of being embodied in rumors
that become distorted and misleading
True, it seems to some such state
ments give those who are in some
sense competitors in the same work
the chance to claim an advantage, by
saying THEY do not have such things
in their churches. But this only
shows, either they do not know much
about the history Of their own institu-
tions, and how the quiet they enjoy
has been reached by intense discus
sion; or they are willing that others
should think and act for them.
We endrayorcd to state facts as we
knew them, and while in one or two
respects our differences or comments
might seem severe, they were such as
seemed warranted 10y the facts stated.
It was said by somo who felt
pinchcd by what was said that reply
was to be made. Patient waiting fol.

was nothing, and that what had been

force any preacher into position he
is unwilling to take. Because it is
optional for preacher to take a place
or church to take preacher the roll
Of both is called in every conference
to find out what preachers want work
and what churches WANT preacher.
All that the Mineral Point church
needed to do was to say on this roll
call that she had concluded to be left
to be supplied, rs she has done before
and may do again. But the church
and its present pastor wished to work
in harmony with the conference but
this was not conceded, but was debat-
cd, voted down, reconSidered, ard the
whole matter was then withdrawn
from the jurisdiction of the conference.
On the roll. call the Mineral Point
delegates said: "Put us down, To be
Supplied" So, because this church
had made choice that was considered
Illegal and unconstitutional the
preachers thought themselves justified
in meeting in secret caucus before
hand and determining to dissolve the
body for whose preservation this law
and constitution was made. AS
though when we profess to think a man
has received blow, and before it is
determined if it is legal or not we
meet to destroy him. True, they
could not do this without the confer
ence but they did it as far as they
could, and upon them rests the
responsibility Of the agitation they
thus started.
1t is said that whatever was done on
this matter was done in "open CON
ference. our recollection is that it
was not very open and this is sustain
ed by the published minutes Nor did
some of the Mineral Point people fad
il open ut all. When they sought
admission they were repuIsrd hy y

who were denied admission were men,

cause we said some who are now

this a misrepresentation we are told
the amounts that former Mineral
Point ministers have been offered
We believe there is something in the
case where it is said the largest
amount was offered. but the amount
is much oNcrstatcd, and the engage
mont was only tentative, being under
the presiding elder until conference,
when the brother being received
would have had to take his chances

Thus the rifle can be used alternate
ly, as desired, either as a single loader
or as a magazine rifle, at the will Of the

The rifle is hammerless, and the maga'
zine arrangement, according to experts,
is the best yet invented.
The rifle Is constructed to use the
government cartridge, 80 calibre, 50
grains of smokeless powder, 220 grains
laetal jacketed bullet. The velocity Is
1000 feet per second, the barrel pres
sure being about $4,000 pounds per

Federal troops both could use the same
cartridge, thereby avoiding the posi-
b,lity of serious mistakes in serving out

Public Spirit in the West.

Probably nothing ever did more to
bring the East and the West togethe
in national sentiment than the Column
bian Exposition at Chicago The whole,
country was justly proud of that, and
TO section was more ungrudging in its
praise of it than the East. 1t was con-
coded frankly and heartily that Chi
cago had done what would not have
been possible in New York or any other
Eastern city, making not merely a
worlds fair, but a worlds wonder.
Western energy and dauntless daring
were combined with loftiness and
breadth of artistic purpose to produce
results which would have been impos-
sible in an older civilization. AS an
experienced English observer said, Not
only was it the most wonderfully beau
tiful thing of the kind the world had
ever seen, but it was likely to be the
most wonderfully beautiful that ever
would be seen; for no other nation
would ever have the audacious courage
10 do again what Chicago did" Yet
this fair was merely the sublime out
the chief element, of Western progress
the public spirit of the people. They
believe in their country, are proud of
its wonderful growth and unbounded
resources, and are determined to do
everything in their power to add to its
fame. This spirit is particularly strong
in Western cities, and appeals to it are
never made in vain. 1t makes possible
the establishment on firm and endur-
ing basis of educational and artistic
enterprises which find little cordial sup
port in Eastern cities and which lead
there only 4 struggling and precarious
existence. They are supported in West
ern cities because they will he credit
to the communities and will add to
their fame. 1t would be an unspeak-
able boon to Eastern cities If this pub
lie spirit could be aroused in them

Tools of Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes carry enough different
kinds of tools around to give them the
right to belong to several trades. She
and blood-drawing is always the fe-
male-uses no less than six different in
struments to pierce the skin and suck
the blood of her victim.
They are the most delicate tools mag
Unable, and they can only be seen in
their beauty under strong magnifying
glass. When Mrs. Mosquito starts in
to draw blood she does it in a scientific
manner. First she takes double
headed spear and jabs it deep in the
skin. Then she picks out one of her
two keen lancets and enlarges the
puncture made by the spear.
If the skin is very thick and tough
she probes deeper with drill or
needle, and if the hole is still too small
she jabs a saw in the wound and pro-
ceeds to rip out the side of the hole I'M
til it is large enough and deep enough
for her to insert the tube of her pump.
Then she settles down for feast, and
soon her body is filled with the red
drink.
Mosquitoes, in spite of their bad hab-
it's, are interesting insects. There are
about thirty varieties of the little pests
in the United States, and they are
found all over the earth. The eggs are
long, oval objects, and are deposited on
the water in masses which are stuck
together by kind of glue.
When the eggs hatch the larva, which
is something like a worm, drops head
first in the water. A little air tube
which runs back on one side of the tail
supplies the larva with air until it
changes to mosquito without wings,
but supplied with paddle tail which
permits it to skip over the water at
lively rate In about a month wings
grow on the body, and at last Mrs. Mos
quito rises in the air and begins to hunt
for nice, fat boy, with lots of good
blood in his veins.

sALLADE OF THE NEW WOMAN.

OF the New Woman now to sing,
You bid me, Prince, whose tangled Tyre,
Whose wrinkled muse, of weary wing,
Has lost her early might and fire.
More readily your fond desire
Would concede and chant for you
If the fair being you admire,
If the New Woman were but New!
She is alasl no novel thing,
For history herself might tire,
Might faint and fall in following
Where the Old Woman did aspire!
What stellar space, what mortal mire,
Has not the fair sex ventured through!
Indeed, we men folk might admire,
If the New Woman were but New.
She yexes now with questioning,
Must taste, experience, inquire,
For curiosity's the spring
That sends her soaring higher and
higher,
That babe her with the snake conspire
And to the snake alone be true.
Who brought Oh us that heavy ire.
If the New Woman were but New!
ENVOY.
Prince, old as Adam, is our sire.
As old as Eve, whom Adam knew;
We might not labor and perspire,
If the New Woman were but New.
