Tno iouowing valuable sugges
tion is from tho Winona ( Wis.) Be
publican :
Inasmuon as tno success of the win
ter wheat crop throughout the North
west this year will doubtless lead to a
more extensive cultivation of that va
riety during the year to come, It may
be of Interest to many farmers in this
State to know that the experiment
has been made of sowing oats and
wheat together, with a view of ob
taining a winter covering for the
wheat. Tho seed, In the proportion
of one part of oats to two parts of
wheat, were sown in the fall, and the
oats sprang up qulokly and were
killed by the early frost, the stalks
and leaves lying on tho ground all
winter, keeping the snow from blow
ing away, and preventing the sun
from thawing the frozen ground. In
the spring tho dead oats make a good
top-dressing for the growing wheat.
The orop secured on the following
season was reported to be excellent,
while wheat on adjoining land plant
ed in the usual manner waB of no
value.

Wo learn that the famous "Pina

by home talent, some time this au
tumn, conduoted by the highly ac
complished and sweet singer, Miss
Cora Gates. This will be the occosiou
of a rare treat, and an overflowing
houBe.
In behalf of decency, public In
terest and webelieve general public
sentiment, The Advertiser de
mands that the law relating to the
sale and trafflo in intoxicating drinks
in our city be either in forced or re
pealed. The punishments Inflicted
at the late term of oourt, on two of
the transgressors has not had the salu
tary effect desired, but on the contrary,
since court the violations nre more
bold and flagrant thau before, and
drunken men are seen more frequent
ly than In the year previous to the
prohibition of saloons. Some persons
who have better faoilitios for know
ing "tho ropes" than wo have, de
clare there is more whisky drank
now, than there were when we had
licenced saloons. We doubt this
however, but we do believe when the
majoriti' of tipplers got access to 11.
quors they imbibo more freely and
cet drunker than they would if the
front doors of licensed saloons wore
open and they could go in and get n
snort and then go on about their
business.
Those who have been constant
readers" of The Advertiser will
remember, doubtless, that up to last
winter's raid on saloono, ourposition
on the liquor trade was for regulation
by good laws and educating tho peo
ple In a way to render the business,
thoso who carried It on, the patrons,
and all connected with 4lt, odious;
and in this way reduce the patronage
of saloons, so that those who would
engage in the business could not af
ford to pay the high license exacted.
Wo had seen prohibition tried, on va
rious occasions had fought for it vot
ed for it, but always found It in vari
ous waj's a failure. And as a general
proposition, especially in the West,
we still entertain tho same doctrine;
holding that au evil which cannot be
suppressed must of necessity be con
trolled or regulated in the best way
and by tho best laws possible to en
act. Last winter, at the close of the
Finch revivaljthere was, by ono of
tho largest and strongest petitions,
signed by nearly everybody, a de
mand made upon our city council for
the suppression of saloons. We, see
ing in this evidence that tho people
had been educated sufScientely to not
want saloons, and that they would not
have them, joined the movement, will
ing again to test the value of
a no-llcenso law instead of "high li
cense." The matter Is now undergo
ing that test ; and as wo hinted at the
beginning of these remarks, It is
proving a failure, and strengthening
us in our old opicions that absolute
prohibition is a failure, in this coun
try, even under as.strong and favora
ble auspices and backing as it had
when inaugurated In Brownville. We
regret that this seems to be so. We
would prohibit if wo could. If we
would adopt other thanprohibltion it
ia because wo think something olso
better for tho general and ultimate
public good.
Since prohibition of saloonB here
has been tho law, we have been ur
gent for the enforcement of tho law.
Discipline, and obeyenco of law, and
the prevalence of tho will.of tho ma
jority, whioh we must presume all
law is whore tho people govern, is a
deeply rooted prlnciplo with us. And
in a case where one half of the com
munity violate a law, and the other
half, officers and all, winking at the
violation, we think that law ought to
bo repealed as soon as possible, and
something else, that all cau agree to
enforce, substituted.
We are aware of the many argu
ments for prohibition, which, if not
mora than half of the them were
true, should be sufficient to convince
every man of its good, but the people
are not convinced ; or, at least, the
measures adopted to carry it out are
in a great degreo ignored and Inoper
ative. We believe in tho practicable
and operative. We say, now and dis
tinctly, with the 6aloon advocates, if
whisky and beer is to be sold in
Brownville, letU3 make thesellers pay
a license into the school fund for doing
so. On the other hand, if tho law
can be enforced, law and its executors
shall have all. the support The Ad
vertiser can give. That which is
worth doing Is worth doing well ; and
sedate men of money and influence,
or either, should be ashamed of child's
play which prohibition in Brown
ville will prove to be if it is to play
out before being tried even one year.

Up to the reception of tho Su
prome Court decision regarding tho
election of county commissioners this
fall, it had been generally understood
by agreomentbetween the Republi
cans and Democrats that tho entire
old Board of Commissioners should bo
Indorsed by both parties. Now that
the question la settled .that there Is
but one commissioner to elect, and
that one tho successor Mr. Peery,
we suggest that the agreement bo con
tinued aB respecting Mr. Peery, and
that both parties unite iu making
him his own successor. This may
seem too. much of a concession for us
to make, as Mr. Peery has never been
identified with tho Republican party,
nevertheless as he is not much of a
party man either way, and makes a
good, conscientious commissioner,
and as it was about concluded to give
him a general indorsement, and there
being no good renson why that ar
rangement should now be changed,
we feel that we could support him
and be consistent and right.
What do you mean, Bro. Tiffany?
Advertiser.
Just what wo said. Sheridan Post.
Then you lied. Wo detect you ev
ery time we notice you, Is distorting
the truth and prevarication, and just
so wo again expose you:
The Advertiser this week pub
lishes n windy article In relation to
the enormous expense, as it puts it,
that will bo necessarily incurred In
calling an election for the removal of
the county seat.
Wo said not a word about "enor
mous osponse," nor anything that
can be so construed, or will be so oon
strued. We do not believe tho ex
penses of two or three elections, In
cluding the erection of thirty-soven
thousand dollars' worth of public
buildings would be "enormous,"
should the people prefer a good court
house when they conclude to build
one; as we believe thoy will. Those
figures aro scarcel y up to our idea of
the "enormous."
Tho following are taken from re
cent Suprome Court decisions, and of
much interest to the peoplo, especial
ly just at this timo:

Discussions frequentlyncour!ng
nowregarding tho eligibility of county
treasurer now holdiug a second term
or more, we will quote the law for the
information of ail. It Is as follows,
page 243, laws of 1S79:
Sec. 10. A county treasurer shall
be ineligible to office for more than
two consecutive terms.
This is nil the law there is on the
subject. The question Is as to wheth
er tho law is intended to apply to
treasurers now holding a secoud or
third term, as well as to thoso hold
ing iu the future. That it was bo in
tended there is no question in our
mind, but whether the courts would
construejit as retroactive Is doubtful.

who has held the office four yeara is
asking it again. Mr. C. being a Dem

reason that ho Is not oligiblo. Iu
this county, Mr. Gilmoro being near
ly Buro of the nomination, tho Re
publicans will havo to take the other
side of the question. Things get
abomniably mixed up, in politics
some times don't they? And then
isn't it a nasty mess?
