Mr. Gus. Spiegel who has been visit
ing relatives at Manitowoc returned

Miss Eliza Warren, of Sturgeon
Bay, sister of Mrs, Martin Hanson of
Manitowoc is visiting friends in our
community for the past few weeks.
Measles are prevalent in this vicini

convalescing from quite severe at
tack. We hope lone will soon be able
to return to school for she is a thor
ough student, and working hard to be
enrolled upon the list of Manitowoc
county pedagogues.
Mr. David Rickaby, for some unac
countable reason, is certain to wend
his way out to Chiffon every Saturday
evening, or bright and early Sunday
morning At times he does not return
until Monday noon, and he offers all
manners of excuses for his lengthy
stay.

to the road few rods ahead of him,
and then loped slowly down the road
for about one half of mile and again
took to the woods.

The Bradley Martin bill Is receiving
considerable attention. 1t will cost about
100000 and this immense sum is stirring
the populist's heart. II is argued that
there is wrong somewhere when this large
sum can be spent for amusement while
many are suffering for the recessaries.
Certainly there is, but there always will
be wrongs in this world of ours. Even
those who protest against this lavish ex-
penditure will perpetrate wrongs. But
wouldn't it be far wiser for those who are
holding up their hands in pious horror
at the extravaganza Of this ball, to set
about doing something to better their
own condition by their own efforts than
in railing at fortune for this unequal dis
tributlon of wealth? If envy would only
stimulate people to activity in the line of
honest industry instead of prompting
destruction, it might not be regarded a
vice, Envy is the curse of the age.

THERE are indications of an approach.
ing rupture between the silver democrats
and the populists. 1t is certain to come
as democracy is not populism and an
alliance on a single issue with difference
on all others has no cohesive power. Be
sides the democrats who support the
Chicago platform did it under the excite
ment of political campaign. There was
no genuine convection back of It, 1t was
like the courage of man in a charge
Cool reflection will show that the Chica.
60 platform was not a democratic plat
form and that the campaign was not con
ducted on lines OF democratic procedure
1t is impossible to expect prompt admis
sion of this fact while the enmitles en-
gendered by the campaign still rankle
But truth is ever persistent and slowly
gains dominion.

DIED.

On Saturday Eve, February 9th,
1897, after a long and painful illness
George F. Barker of this city The
deceased was born in Washington
County. in the State of New York, on
June Goth, 1913, but came with his
parents at an early day to Wisconsin,
settling in Calumet county, near Hay
ton He came to Manitowoc in 1868,
where his home has been ever since.
He was married on March 13, 1866. to
Miss Eta Edwards. the daughter of
| one of the pioneer settlers of this city
His home life was exceptionally hap
Ply.
His ardent patriotic disposition led
| him to volunteer his services to his
country during the Civil War as soon
as his age would perm it him to be ac-
cepted. He enlisted in Go. A. 18th.
| Wisconsin Volunteers, commanded by
Col. Gabe Rouck. but the hardships
of a campaign were too great for one
so young. and he was discharged on
account of sickness. As soon as be re
covered his health and strength in
some degree, he volunteered again in
the hundred days service and was
made Orderly Sergeant Of Co. G., 80
Wis. Volunteers. On his muster out
from that organization he again en-
listed and became First Sergeant of
Co. d, 50 Wis, serving until the wal
ended. He was one of the original
members IF the Grand Army Post OF
this city, and always took great inter
est in its welfare
When the Appleton and New Lon
don Railway was built he entered the
railway service on that line, and had
charge of the first locomotive operated
on the road. Later he was appointed
travelling inspector oflccomotives and
brakes on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
& Western Ry. which position he held
for many years until his health failed
The deceased was deservedly popu
lar with all who knew him, but espe
cialIy so with his comrades of the rail
way service, while he was held in high
esteem by his employers for his trust
worthiness and devotion to duty.
His widow and aged mother sur
vive him. His SOD, an only child, die6
a few years ago in early manhood.
George Barker was a good son, {
good husband, good father and {
good citizen. Blessed is the lane
which has such men for its people"

HARD times may be unpleasant but
they are not; without their advantages.
They teach needed lessons of economy
and industry. The man who dlscontinn.
es some expensive and useless habit is
benefited whether he does so in response
to the promptings Of his moral nature or
because decreased income suggests re-
trenchment. HabItual Indulgence in lux
ury makes that luxury necessity.
Man is always in danger when lie can
satisfy every wish. If things come easily
to him he loses diligence and his char
acter is weakened. There is always good
IN abstention whether 1t be voluntary or
forced. The lessons OF the past few years
have been valuable in strengthening
character, though in many instances they
have taught the song OF complaint.
If hard times do good by teaching les
sons of economy to individual why should
they not be likewise effective In teaching
economy in the administration of public
affairs? What reason is there in having
al army OF employees in attendance at
the session Of the Legislature? The CAPT
toll post office is more costly than the
capital post office 1t has more employees.
Affans generally are conducted as if the
purpose OF q session was to create posi-
tons and relieve members OF the least
physical effort. Abuses in the line of ex-
travagance have multiplied until they
have grown bGrdensome. There Is no
reason for frequent aaiournments OF ths
legislature but without adjournment of
expense. Let reform begin here and
then push 1t along. Let us get all the
good things We can out OF our hard times
