Just Fifty Years Ago.

The Chicago Tribune prints column
or more on the Christmas of fifty years
ago, eight months after the breaking
out of the Civil war. The senior editor
of the Union remembers it we'll for he
had enlisted seven months before.
There was great gloom in the hearts of
the people of the North for the die was
cast and no way open to avoid the most
deadly conflict of modern times. Of
course there were currents and counter
currents here in the North, and a semi
disunion sentiment, really born more of
anti-republican partnership than of
sympathy with the South, largely per-
meated the loyal portion of the coul-
try. But when the flag was fired on at
Sumpter, tremendous tidal wave of
patriotic devotion swept over the peo-
pie, bearing down every form of oppo-
sition. The South was also all on fire.
Armed secession seemed to have burn
ed it's way into the very bone of that
people and the sane and conservative
ones could no more stem the tide than
as il it had been a cyclone.
The spectacle affords a blazing refu-
tation to the doctrine of the radicals
nowadays that the people can never go
wrong. The four years of terrible war
that followed, the billions upon billions
of destruction to property in the South,
the million of lives that were offered
on that bloody altar and all to crafty
the ambitions of certain southern radi-
cal statesmen who wanted free field
of their own, no matter what it cost,
tells whether people, even ninety mil
lion strong, can make aferaful mistake.
One great big lesson was taught by
the rapidly eliminating events of that
Christmas time of 1861. That was, that
nothing but sorrow and destruction can
result from rushing into revolution as
cure for political evils. Another thing
it taught, and that was that the evils
complained of were in large part i'm
aginary, and at the worst could not
come within million times of being as
great as those the South brought upon
itself through war.
Strange, is it not, that when every
one knows that peace is vastly more
blessed in every way than war, yet ten
men who counsel war can put to flight
hundred men who counsel peace?
What is it that is in our blood that SO
easily tips the scale in favor of such
disaster?-Fort Atkinson Union.

StOughtOn's New Years Ski TOurna.
mont

Disappointing alike to management
and spectators was the small number
of participants in Tuesdays ski tour
nament, and a veritable hardship to
the great majority of the big crowd
was the apparently unnecessary slow
ness with which the meet was conduct
ed. Instead of beginning at 2 o'clock,
or shortly thereafter, as it should have
been, the tournament actually did not
start until about O'Clock, and the con-
dition of the spectators who had been
on the grounds for more than an hour
in temperature approaching zero, can,
perhaps, be imagined.
That there were less than a dozen
slkiers in the tourney was due to the
non-appearance of the Chicago delega-
ton of eight entrants in the amateur
class.
No records were broken and no really
noteworthy jumps were made, but the
sliding was spectacular in the terrific
speed with which the skiers came down
the course, and the hair-raising tum-
bles that most of them took upon land
ing after their leaps. In the longest
standing jump contest, Gjested again
took the prize in the professional class,
with 127 foot jump, and Bergerson in
the amateur class. -Courier-Hub.
