A Crusade Against Tobacco-Raising.

The West Wisconsin Methodist Conference in recent session at Dodgeville, officially declared its belief that "Christian men ought not to raise to- batco." The Methodists of the Mil waukee Conference in session at Wau bshaon the 13th approved a report submitted by its committee on temperance, "discouraging the raising selling, or using of tobacco by any member of the conference." There ie no doubt whatever that these worthy Methodist brethren are in earnest. There is also no shadow of doubt that they are hurrying forward the chariot of moral reform at such break-neck speed as to make it quite impossible for the rank and file of weak and erring mortals to keep up with the procession. In the nature of things, if this goes on, the church folk with their ambitious reformations will have quite distanced all the rest of mankind ere long, and will have no one but themselves to practice the reforms they preach. In common with the church people of several other denominations, the Methodists have repudiated high only practicable reform of the liquor with an obstinacy-worthy of a better cause, that the liquor traffic "is not a natural vice to be checked and controlled, but a moral vice to be out- iwed and A color-blind who insists that blue is green ot be argued into a change of bend similarly, a man or an or 'on endorsing declaration is not amenable to any logic. With the good peo- 'ass therefore, advocates have good-naturedly Business it Means.

T. A. Chapman, who has just returned from a four weeks' business visit at the East, summarizes the results of his business observations, thus: The hard times are past. I look forthe ensuing three years, between now and the next Presidential election, to be the most prosperous this country has ever seen." Some reasons for the faith that is in him, are detailed by Mr. Chapman as follows: "Everywhere I found a better feeling than lias been noticeable for several years.

And there ought to be; we have a great and rich country; our credit is good and we can borrow money at 3 per we have had no pestilence, no famine; crops are good and they bring fair prices. The surplus money which has been hoarded in New York for several years past is being rapidly absorbed by manufactures and in general business. Prices are low, and those who have the money feel that now is the time to use it. Labor is much better employed, and the prices paid for it are higher." These are all important and essential elements in explanation of thefact of returning good times. But the WISCONSIN inclines to the belief that there is a reason beyond these which affords the fullest explanation: "I asked a New York banker," said Mr.

Chapman, "what he thought of the out- ook. He said it was much better a year ago. I asked why it was better. 'Because I feel he re- jlied, 'and so does everybody The New York banker and "every- )ody else" would of course not feel setter, were it not for the fact of improved business conditions and in- reased trade activity. But after all, ihe confidence of business men in the future, and then: faith in the' stability and permanency of the prosperity which they now enjoy are of vastly greater importance than any present profits of a brisk trade.

It is not when trade livens, but when men stop talking hard times, that hard times cease. When general business conditions are adverse, the proclamation that the rebel states send to Washington their full quota of senators and representatives; thus forming the nucleus for a Congress that should have a quorum in one if not in both houses. And this rebel Congress the President proposed to recognize and install at the capitol. His appeal for aid in this precious scheme was met by Grant's deliberately announced purpose to "drive a Congress so constituted out of the capitol at the point of thebayonet; to give possession of the building to the senators and representatives of the loyal states; protect them; and, if necessary, to appeal to the country and to the Union army so lately mustered out of service." Not yet foiled of his hateful purpose, the President next proposed to send Gen. Grant on a trumped up mission to the City of Mexico, in order to be temporarily rid of him.

But the imperturbable Grant, at once fathoming the trick, replied, "If the mission is diplomatic, I decline it. If it is military, I refuse to obey, because the general of the army may not be ordered to a foreign country with which we are at peace." It was sometimes said by carpers during Gen. Grant's life, that he was an over-estimated man. But though they appreciate him much, the American people yet come far short of acknowledging of understanding the full measure of their debt to that quiet, modest, patriot soldier. HOG CBOL.EBA.

Heavy Wisconsin Farmers Suffering Losses by the Disease. BELOIT Oct. hog disease, which has been raging in this locality for the last two months, is spreading, causing a great fatality wherever it makes its appearance. The southern part of Rock County, and northern and western part of Wmnebago County, are the worst-infected districts, and few farms have escaped the visitation. The dead and sick hogs number thousands now, and both the present year's and next year's crop of pork is being destroyed.

Almost every remedy that can be mentioned has been used, but no help has been given as yet. 'It is claimed, by some that the disease is lung-fever and not cholera. The best kept; and fed hogs suffer alike with the neglected. EAU CLAIKE, Oct. hog merchant refuses to grow cheery and hopeful, even though his trade be temporarily good.

"The future is gloomy," he insists upon saying; and his foreboding acts as a shackle and drag upon his business effort. But the converse of this is always and equally true; and herein lies the chief encouragement of the business outlook of to-day. There may be present dullness in certain branches, but the very hopefulness of thebusiness world acts as a powerful lever in the speedy dissipation of such dullness. Mr. Chapman says of the dry goods market at the present time: "It is dull now, but prices are firmly held, showing that temporary dullness has not affected general confidence." It is largely true in business as in personal experience, that the world is what we make it.

Popular belief in good times, tends tocreategood times. Popular faith in future prosperity, tends to realize that prosperity. It is wise always to understand that such A Barbarous Outrage. Bismarck's order expelling the Russian Poles from Prussian Posen is really one of the most infamous decrees ever issued by a man possessing arbitrary power. The sufferings which have thus been inflicted on a an- ished population without any crime on then? part, are absolutely indescribable.

The honest indignation of the German mind is everywhere aroused against this cruel act, and it will be brought before the Prussian Diet. Austrian Poles have also been expelled from Posen, and the cruelty is considered so grievous that the Hungarian Diet requested the ministers of the crown to remonstrate at Berlin. Bismarck has replied that hi the case of the Austrian Poles, exceptional rulings will be made. The motives for this cruel expatriation are not manifest. There is no evidence that it was done at the request of the Russian Czar.

It has been alleged that the Poles were expelled from Posen because labor, already very low there, has been still further lowered by the settlement of Russian Poles. The expulsion of the Huguenots from France was considered one of the leading barbarisms of the seventeenth century. No one supposed it would in Germany, after two centuries of advancing civilization, with far more unrelenting cruelty. cholera epidemic, which has inflicted heavy losses upon the farmers of Northwestern Wisconsin, is reported on the increase this week in Buffalo County, and its ravages have not yet ceased in Eau Claire County. A Mondovi farmer who was in the city today says that in the vicinity of that place the hog? been dying by the hundreds, and that the.

ep'idemic has spread in spite of all the efforts on the part of the farmers to check its deadly march. It is estimated that about 1,000 hogs have died of cholera in Buffalo County, and the number killed by the disease in this county can hardly be much less than 1,000. Washington and Pleasant Valley have had the worst of it. BLACKBERRY STATION, 111., Oct. A preventive.

PITTSBURG, Oct. Assistant Postmaster-General Hay died at 6:30 o'clock this morning, of Malcolm Hay was born in Philadelphia, in 1842, and was educated at the preparatory department of the University of Pennsylvania. His schooldays ended at 17 years, and he commenced the study of law shortly afterwards. In ISBSherempvedto Pittsburg, and was admitted to the bar of Allegheny County, and continued his membership up to the time of hisdeath. Heearly assumed a leading position in the lay ranks of the Episcopal Church, and held prominent-offlcial relations in the diocesan conventions.

In politics, he was a staunch Democrat, and was always a recognized leader in the conventions, both local and state. The first public position he held was that of a member of the state constitutional convention, in which body he was a member of the judiciary committee. He was one of the Democratic commissioners sent to Florida to investigate the frauds alleged in the Hayes campaign. He was a delegate to the national Democratic conventions in 1876, 1880, and in 1884, and in the latter was on the committee on resolutions, and framed the tariff plank of the platform. He was a strong supporter of Cleveland in the convention, although his colleagues from this district were friends of Randall.

He was appointed first assistant postmaster general by President Cleveland, on ch 18 last, and left a sick bed to go to Washington to accept the position. He rallied for a short time; but the onerous duties of the position told on his delicate health, and he was compelled to resign. He returned home and from that time until his death to-day, he has been unable to leave his his demise has been expected, the' announcement has this morning caused sincere sorrow among all classes. burn Observatory, particularly in discoveries of fixed stars. He is not only a broad scholar, but a genial gentleman with popular ways and possessed of high executive habits.

During the entire period of trouble between the Board of Regents and President Bascom, he has been looked upon as a most desirable member ol the faculty to succeed Bascom as president of the University of Wisconsin. The Board of Regents regard the prospective loss of Prof. Holden as a very severe blow to the State University, as he is undoubtedly the most brilliant and widely-known member of the faculty.
