The elections in Pennsylvania and
Ohio show the efficacy of work and the
evil effects of apathy. In that portion
of Pennsylvania where the canvass was
hot, Geary makes splendid run; but in
the Republican strong-holds, where less
effort was made because it was supposed
that the voters would go to the polls
without being urged, Geary runs behind.


There is no good excuse for the apathy
that prevails after presidential contest,
Republicans should 60 to the polls on
cre7y election day. A Republican sol
der who will not use his cartridge in a
fight with the Democracy, should be dis
armed and sent to the rear in disgrace.
His apathy aids the emmy. This slug
gish indifference should not prevail in the
ranks of the Republican party in Wiscon
sin this fall. A man who will not devote
to the general good the time necessary
to deposit his vote, should be shaken
up" by his neighbors until his blood cir
culates little.

AS things go nowadays an invitation

The fact is that marrying. people practice
upon all their friends at the preseut day
a system of barefaced o,xtortion without
giving them the right to resent or expose

or sentiment in these gifts; they are pur-

their affections before { he town by the

outlay of wealthier frien' Is, is so essen
tally vulgar and indelica te that it is a
wonder how it ever came to be tolerated
in any society claiming to be refined.
The custom is absurd also, as we'll as
vulgar and burdensome, when one comes
to reflect upon it. The matrimonial
party really gain nothing; for they have
to repay the same 10 value when the
