REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY
Citv Council Will Not Shoulder the
Settling os Contract to Build
City Hall.

At the adjourned meeting of the
common council Wednesday evening
things waxed quite warm between
several of the aldermen on the city
hall question. A resolution presented
by Alderman Thos. Delaney caused
the tongues of not only the members
of the council to loosen up, but also
those OF several of our citizens. The
resolution follows:
WHEREAS, The question of the build
ing of the city hall at this time has
been up before the council; and,
WHEREAS, There is a difference OF
opinion about the propriety OF. build
ing city hall at this time; and,
WHEREAS, There is question
whether the finances OF the city
would warrant the building OF a city
hall at this time,
Therefore, be it Resolved by the
common council of the city OF Wausau
that the question of the building OF
city hall by the city OF Wausau be
submitted to the voters of thfs~city
in the following form, sShall the City
of Wausau Build City Hall This
Year?'
And it is further resolved that the
city clerk take all necessary steps TO
submit said question to the voters OF
this city at the general city election
to be held in April.
Several aldermen objected to this
action recommended by Alderman
Thos. Delaney, and brought out
strong arguments against the plan.
Also John Ringle, who was among
the audience attending the meeting,
arose to object to such a weakened
action on the part of the council, and
recommended that building operations
be commenced at once. Nevertheless
the majority of the council voted in
favor of the resolution, and the ques-
tion will be put to vote of the people
at the municipal election in April.
An ordinance was introduced and
passed which calls for raise Of the
salaries of the mayor, city clerk,
controller and aldermen, as follows:
Mayor from 5000 to S1200 per year;
city clerk and comptroller from $1,000
to $l100 per year; aldermen from $50
to 800 per year.
The council accepted therelinquish-
ments of the saloon licenses of Peter
Norlach and Frank Fischer, and on
motion the licenses were revoked.
The votes given at the election on
commission form of government on
Tuesday, Feb. 20, were canvassed by
special committee of the council,
the result being as published else
where in this issue of the PILOT.

A PERTINENT POST CARD.
Socialists Distribute One Which At
tracts Attention.-From Its
Fourth Number.

To advertise the fourth number of
the Socialist Lyceum course, members
are distributing a post card which
may be said, contains much food for
thought.
The text of the card is by Arthur
Brooks Baker, the well known Social
ist lecturer, who says "Citizens,
when you see a package labeled 'frag-
lie, and handle with care, and use
no hooks, and this side up, and that
sort of thing, you seem to get the inn
preston that the contents Of that
package are in some way delicate.
Now if that package is slabeled slam
it," and drop it hard, and kick
it, and dance on it, and if the
government has been paying men big
salaries to break it up, and if, after
everybody in America has had a crack
at it for twenty years and it still has
not a scratch and not a dent, arn't
you about ready to stop and ask
whether there is any use in trying to
bust it ?"
The Socialists think that anything
able to stand this wear must have
something good in it, and they don't
want the trusts trusted. They say,
''let's own them" This view of the
trust question will be set forth in
lecture on "The Trust Buster" by
Mia Tupper Maynard, at Elks' hall
on Wednesday evening, Feb. 2Sth.
Mrs. Maynard is recognized as one of
the most powerful thinkers, writers
and speakers of the west. f. G. b.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE q. 1874.

The editor of the Oshkosh Times
visited Wausau in June, 1874, and
wrote up the city and county in gen.
eral, its agricultural resources, its
lumber interests, etc. Among other
things he said this about Wausau
newspapers: "Wausau's first news
paper, The Central Wisconsin, was
published in April %, 1857, by Club
buck & Co. as an independent jcurn-
al. In 1861, The Marathon County
Record, (Republicanl by Eli r. Chase,
set up an active opposition to the
Central, which then took up strong
democratic grounds under rev man
agement. After years run the lat
ter's office was destroyed ny fire. The
Record was bought out b. the Cen
tral owners and ceased to exist. 1t
has changed hands and policies sever
al times since but is now republi-
can paper owned by r. Fl. johnson.
"The Wausau Pilot, democratic,
was started by V. Ringle in 1866.
who mas retained possession ever
since. Mr. Ringle also started the
Wiusau Wochenblatt in 1899"

A CARD. We, that is ourself and
better half, return our sincere thanks
to the parties who so generously dis
coursed the sweet, melodious tunes
under our window on last Thursday
evening. If that is termed serenad-

most delightful music we have ever
heard, and if we had felt as we used
to feel we certainly would have i'm

PARDON ASKED FOR.

The matter OF pardoning Henry La
mont, who is now serving a life SEN
tence at Waupun, has been taken up
with Governor McGovern, and the
same will be passed upon at the next
session of the pardoning board. At
torney A. w. Prehn of this city has
the work in hand of preparing the
papers, securing transcripts of testi-
mony, etc. Lamont was resident
OF Wausau when young man. He
was valued member of Co. G., un-
der Capt. Womer and also Capt. Le-
we'll Bells. From here he went into
northern Wisconsin seeking work. A
man with whom he had been associ-
ating was murdered and his body
found later. Mr.. Lamont was con-
victed of having committed the crime,
purely on circumstantial evidence,
and was sentenced from Douglas
county for life. Mr.. Lamont has al
ways protested that he was innocent
and has lived a very exemplary life
at Waupun, entering sincerely into
Christian work and taking life philo-
Out of his scant earnings
since in Waupun he has paid the fu-
neral expenses of his little son and
other things in which he had inter-
est, showing an honest, kindly heart.
He has trusted that something might
turn up to reveal the truth of the
crime and lived in hopes that he
might be acquitted and set free. His
application will be acted upon before
long, and it is hoped, from the pa
pers, ETC., submitted, he may receive
full Justice.

A discussion on Alaska, in 1874,
brought forth the following state
ment from one of the speakers which
is good reading at this date:
''It produces plenty of ice. At the
time of its purchase, ice was general
ly thought to be the only article of
commerce it could produce in any con-
siderable quantities, and the author
of the purchase, Mr.. Seward, pro-
nounced fanatical by the whole coun-
try, except by Nasty. He thought
it would be good home for him and
his democratic friends. While there
is no doubt as to the quality and
quantity of the Alaska ice, it seems
destined to become paying invest
ment after all. According to reports
from the treasury department, the
islands of St. Paul and St. George re-
turned revenue from the1fur trade to
the amount of S271 900 this year.
There is little doubt that by the end
of the first decade the income will
amount to more than 81, 100000 or an
interest of fifteen per cent. on the
original cost $1,000, 1000. Thus the
great American question, will it

DEMOCRATS MEET AT GRAND
RAPIDS.

A meeting of the various members
of the democratic county committees
of the eighth congressional district was
held at Grand Rapids, Friday, the
following local democrats attending:
John Ringle, w. w. Albers, II. H.
Manasn. Fred Mohr, E. G. Kretlow,
Hilmar Schmidt and Phillip Stadler.
The object of the meeting was to de-
eide on the delegates who should
represent this congressional district
at the national convention of the
party at Baltimore, and to decide
whether they should go instructed to
vote for any particular candidate or
not. The meeting voiced its feelings
in the matter in so far, that it recon-
mended to send the delegates unin-
structed, and thai il further invited
any democrat, who wishes to go as a
delegate, the district being entitled
two to send his name to the state
central committee, which will then
certify the names to the different
county clerks in the district to be
put on the primary tickets at the
April election. This proceeding was
deemed the most advisable, as the
present congressional district is COM
prised of different counties than in
former years, change having been
made by the l91l legislature. The
decision to send the delegates unin-
structed is also very commendable
one, as the delegates can then judge
for themselves at the convention,
who will be the strongest candidate
for our state and who has the strong
est following among the people.
Some districts in the state have eX-
pressed their choice for either Clark,
Harmon, Wilson or one of the other
candidates, and no united support
for either could be made possible.
Consequently the delegates from the
eighth district will feel much relieved
at the convention, to be able TO act
on their own best Judgment.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY.

There was nothing unusual in the
observation of Washington's birthday
in Wausau last Thursday, over other

played throughout the city. The
schools and banks were closed. Only
one delivery and one collection of mail
was made by the post office. The
general delivery was open at the noon
hour and the lobby was accessible
throughout the day. There were
social doings in many homes and in
the public halls during the evening.
