On the first day Of the present ses-

duced bill to reduce the Presidents

this the Burlington Gazette, either

make little cheap notoriety and re-
gain lost popularity at home. 1t
says also that "when the salary was
raised he was one OF the most active
in its support as well a. the back and
forward pay grab--received his share
of the plunder and only returned 1t
when he found that there was uni
versal Indignation at his conduct"


There is scarcely n newspaper

blushing falsehood. Everybody
knows that Senator Wright fought

than any other man in the Senate.

No man could with more consisten-

In view Of the proposed withdrawal of
Mr.. Cox from the Congressional contest,
the question of his successor comes at once
to the front. It would be utter folly for
Cox to withdraw, and have an equally weak
man placed before the people. Unless the
delegates to the Shakopee convention are
prepared to make the best possible use of
Cox's magnanimous offer, Cox may as we'll
stick to his etraw. Let us not displace Cox
in order to go throug h the unmeaning cere-
mony Of substituting Box. Let Cox and
Box be retired together. 1t is not good
year for men of their character or their
caliber.


OF the candidates who were before the
Shakopee Convention, we understand that
the most respectable of them, including
Judge Macdonald, refuse again to compete
for the nomination. This being the case.
we believe it would be the part Of wisdom
and Of prudence to look beyond either Of
the old candidates, and take up man who
has borne no part in the late strife, has
made no enemies thereby, and is wholly
dlsinterested in the move to secure the
withdrawal Of Cox. If such a man can be
found possessing the necessary qualifca-
tions for the position, he should by all
means be unanimously accorded the nomin.
alton. Such a man Judge Wilder of Red
Wing is universally conceded to be. He is
understood to be undesirous Of the nomin-
ation-which is the greatest argument in
his favor. He is, moreover, known to be
unimpeachably honest, unusually able, and
would carry to Washington q name, q
character and an influence Of which the
Second District of Minnesota might well be
proud. That Judge Wilder will be disin-
clined and actually unwilling to accept the
nomination, is very likely. But Judge
Wllder's feelings in this respect must give
way to the. feelings of the people and to the
requirements Of the public service. No
man has right to disregard these. The
State has claim upon the services of such
OF her citizens as are peculiarly qualified
for the work We believe, and, we have
reason to believe, that if the Shakopee
nomination could be conferred upon Judge
Wilder without solicitation on his part, and
with fattering and deserved unanimity,
ne would not be go ungrateful or so recre-
ant to duty as to refuse it.


There are. it is true, other equally good
men In the district; but.there are none on
whom public opinion has centered with
such partial warmth and unanimity.
For such man it would be pleasure and
an honor for the best Of men to labor earn
estly and willingly. That he could be
elected over Strait, there is not shadow Of
doubt. Will the Shakopees Convention, if
re-convened, have tho good sense to select
him as . standard-bearer, or some man Of

some Of the work Of the grasshoppers in
Mobiles County. Cottonwood sprouts,

EDITOR NEws:-In connection with ]. @.
springer's refusal to publish the5call' of the
Temperance Association of HiIIsboro to the
Temperance people of this county, wish
to make the following statements.


During the early part of the crusade,
Springer was in the habit of spending much
of his time in certain hardware store in
town, where his constant theme was denun-
citation of the Woman's movement, and his
constant cry, ''that's not the way to do it
''The proper way" he said, sis to enforce
the law; whenever you put the law at these
fellows I'm aoiM yOuE'


Some time since prominent and inhu
ential Liberal Republican of this county,
who is also an active Temperance man,
went to Springer and asked him why he
didn't come out on the right side and help
the Temperance people in their work.
''To tell the truth, said Springer, 1 have
had an editorial written for several weeks
in favor of the Woman's movements
but 4 hGuent the moral courage to publish
itI"


Iuse the exact words of my informant,
who will measure character and standing
with Springer and all his owners put to-
gether, and whose name can be had by
anybody upon application.


Thank God, we have in Highland county
men over whom no master stands to lash
them into doing unclean work; men who
viii lay aside personal interests and dare
popular displeasure for the sake of their
fellow-men; men whom no combinations,
however powerful, can use: men who are
brave enough to put on the uniform OF an
honorable service and make war upon
wrong in every form; men who, doing
their duty to God and man. as God gives
them to see that duty, laugh at the insults
of creatures whose favors and influence are
bought and sold, and who give lien upon
their souls to save themselves from bank
ruptcy.


Such men walk the streets, unconscious
of the sneers and jeering perpetually Kissed
at them, and take with complacency the
ignominious treatment of those who 'tfor
love or money" join the liquor interest in
its attacks, from throwing rotten eggs
against widows houses, d01oB to editorials
and communications in the whisky organ
of this place. ANTI-WHISKY. o
