The Iowa county fair, in progress
at Dodgeville this week, promises to
be success in every respect. The
weather is propitious, the entry list
in all departments unusually full,
the attractions excellent, including
two guidless PAGERS exhibiting each
day, and the number and quality OF
the horses contesting for the purses
the best ever gathered on the socie-
tvs track. Today Thursday and
tomorrow the attendance from this
locality will be large, judging from
the number who say they are going
from Mineral Point.
THE Shullsburg Pick and Cad re-
prints the following from an ex-

suggest bribery, persuasion, instruc-
tion or shutting off his allowance;
then if he remains obstinate use Il
raw hide on his raw hide. Welt him
until he is ready to hold up his hand
and promise never to smoke another
cigarette. If that does not work
drown him. A drowned boy is bet
ter than one that smokes cigarettes"

State Banking Act.

Senator Herring has introduced Il bill APP
plying the features of the national banking
law to every banking association in the state,
except savings banks having no capital stock
and nationalbanks, authorized by charter to do
a banking business, and every trust company,
deposit company or other corporation author
lied by charter to receive money on deposit.
The bill puts all these institutions under the
control of the State Treasurer, who is author
lied to appoint an examiner. who is to exam
inc each institution once a year. They are
10 make TO the State Treas urer not less than
five reports annually, which shall be pub
lished. and the Treasurer has the power to
call for special reports, in addition. Banks
and corporations in Baltimore must keep 25
per cent of deposits on hand and those in
the counties 10 per cent,
The banking concerns are rohibited from
lending money upon the security of their own
stock and from owning such stock, the bill
recurring. those who already own shares of
their own stock to make sale oft The loan
to any one individual or corporation of a sum
of money exceeding in amount 10 per cent.
of the capital stock of the bank is prohibited.
For violation of the requirements of the bill
provision is made that the State Treasure
may declare the charter of the bank or com
pany forfeited and appoint "a receiver.
The bill appears to be aproper one, for the
public have right to know the standing of
institutions that do a banking business. The
examination of national banks does not stop
failures Or false swearing to reports, but it no
doubt has good and wholesome effect upon
bank officers, The same will be true of iii .
stitutions receiving deposits of money, aud
the limit of the power to loan is good fea-
ure ofthe proposed law.
We are not conversant with all the features
of the bill, but if it does not it should place
some limit on the bonding oftrust and fidelity
companies. They should be required to re-
port the amounts for which they are surety,
and there should be Il limit, reasonably pro-
portionate to the paid in capital stock, beyond
which they can not go. When public OIL
cials are bonded the public have a right to
know that the surety is ample.

ReformC2) in Baltimore

Notwithstanding II prospective IAN rate Of
-. % in Baltimore and II bonded debt ofabout
.SI7, ZOO, 900, a new charter for the city is pro-
posed and will likely he passed by the Legs
lature This charter will add two wards to
The city, creating more annual expense. and
the new charter provides for an increase of
the SALARY of the mayor from $1,000 TO Sc, 600,
of the comptroller from Sd, 500 to Sd, 400, of
health commissioner from So, 900 to 81. 500. OF
street commissioner from 81. 600 to 81, 500, of
secretary of park board from 81 200 to
Sl,500, andof president of second branch of
city council from 81 200 to So, 900. In addi-
ton the appeal tax court, with three mem
hers, is to be abandoned and board of
assessment andappeaI, six members, with
salary of $3.50 each, is be established
and the salary of the clerk to the board
is to be increased from 81, 800 to 81 500.
These changes alone will add So 400 to the
fixed charges of the city, and nearly every
change in the charter will increase
the cost of the city government. Still, re-
form is great, and may independent Demo
Gratis, who generally vote the Republican
ticket, enjoy The reform they are having.

The Teller Resolution.

The Teller resolution, declaring that gov
eminent bonds were payable in either gold
or silver, at the option Of the government.
passed the Senate on Friday evening of last
week by a vote of47 to g. The House took up
the resolution on Monday, limited debate on
it, and rushed it TO defeat under party lash
and whip. The vote was 1872 nays to 1872
yeas. In the Senate seventeen Republicans
voted for the resolution. In the House two
Democrats voted against the resolution and
Two Republicans for it. As the ADVOCATE
remarked last weeks the passage or defeat of
the resolution was immaterial The resolu-
lion had no legal effect. The bonds we're
made payable in coin, and the coin of the
Constitution is gold and silver The Govern
meat has now the right to pay in either gold
or Ilve, but the policy, directed by Wall
street, is to pay in gold only. What is needed
is Secretary of the Treasury who will use
this option and stop bond issues to purchase
gold.

Blizzard Throughout New

Western and South
western States.

At New York. on January 81, the Red
Cross Line steamship POrtia arrived. four days
overdue, from ST. Johns, n. f., and Halifax,
after desperate encounter with pack ice of
the Newfoundland coast, and with n harrow
ing tale of billiards. there and destitsuon IN
the coast section ofthat country.
Hundreds ofmen, women and children dead
or dying from exposure and starvation with
abundance close by and hundreds more
threatened with like fate, are the briet de-
tails of the condition of affairs brought by the
Portia.
For. four days the Portia was penned IN
huge Arctic Hoes, in plain sight OF st. John s,
unable to move. She managed to escape by
the merest accident. Many other craft, sew
era of them relief vessels. sent by the Cana
dian Government to succor destitute Usher
men, had to abandon their errands OF mercy
and return to St. John S, where they were
still in the ice when the Portia struggled into
clear water
Close to where the Portia lay the big steam
ship;Virginia was locked tight. She had been
sent North by the Canadian Government with
food for the starving fishermen, but a shert
distance up the coast she found the route Sc
curely blocked and was forced to return to
port to prevent being ice bound all winter.
Before her departure news had reached ST.
Johns that unless assistance was promptly
dispatched the unfortunate inhabitants would
soon be beyond relief.
Among the detained feet at st. John 5
were dozen or more sailing vessels loaded
with Goldfish for England and Brazil. The
city of St. John was in terrible condition
on account of the blizzard. The streets were
rendered impossible, the railroads had sns
pended work and the poor were suffering
through hunger and cold. Prices of food had
advanced until they were beyond the reach OF
the poor.
When the Portia was working her way out
to sea she was closely followed by the bark
Flora. and these two vessels were the only
ones that succeeded in leaving st. Johns.
Several miles off shore the POrtia passed
the steamship Grand Lake fast in the ice and
in perilous position.
The steamer Virginia was released from hel
perious position after TIL departure OF the
Portia from ST. Johns, and the position OF
the rest of the distressed fleet has been re
ported by telegraph to be relieved.

Some Truths by Gov. Pingree.

In IA recent speech before the Independent
Club, Of Buffalo, n. Y, Governor Pingree,
of Michigan. who was elected as Il Repnbli-
can, said, among many other things of like
tenor:
''Mauy birds of ill-omen have hocked to
the Republican party during the last few
years, undesirable tenants. All the trusts all
the monopolies. every agency which is bleed
ing the country has taken refuge under the
wing of the Republican party. King Doodle
cries: Il am the party and there is none be-
side me. =
''Many Of the telong Republicans who do
not train with the money power are heartily
sick of being obliged TO condone and defend
the trusts which have come to board with us
indefinitely.
"A penny on sugar passes uuoticed. but
means SAC, 100000 year out Of the pockets
of the people. Why make fuss abont two
cents on oil? 1t amounts to so little, but it
means over $60,0OO,OOe to you. And SO it
gees all along the line-a form of taxation
which taps the pockets of the consumer IN
such a manner that he does not know what
keeps him DoOr
