SPOONER’S CONSTITUENT.
THE WISCONSIN SENATOR THE RE-
( IPIENT OF A LETTER
From a Friend Who Could Stand Cen-
SIIS Reports, Bat Not
Sherman’s Speeches.
vVashington, Feb. 14.—[Special J
—About the best thing in the way
of a take off is a letter of a eonstitu
ent lo Senator Spooner. The name
of the writer is Dot given, but it
could havo been writteu by no other
than George W. Peck, of Peck's
Milwaukee Sun. It is mighty good
and humorous, and reads as fol
lows :
My Deaii John ; You and I have
always been friends ever since we
first became acquainted. I Lave
tried to be a good friend to you.
You remember when yon were first
mentioned for Senator, some paper
published up North said you were
an “Alumnia'' ol tbe Stati Univer
sity, aud that I defended y. a against
the charge of being an ’’Alumnus 4 ’
to the best ot my ability. I said I
bad known you for years and had
Dever known you do anything that
could cause any oue lo call you such
names, and I offered to whip the
man who called you an “Alumnus.”
I mention this to call your attention
to tbe fact that I have always stood
by you. T have not, I am sure,
merited any such treatment as I
have received at your hands- 1 ah-
lude to the habit you have of send
iag me public docum<n'e. I i-.up-
pose, really, your private secretary
is to blame, but 1 want you to do
me tbe favor to kill him. You re¬
member that you once told me that
I could draw on you at any time for
any favor. Now, I ask you to kill
this man, Tbe first year that yea
were Seuator, 1 read everything that
you sent me. The first thing that
came was a census report, and I
rial that through from Genesis to
Revelations, sitting up nights when
I ou^bt to have been in bed. I
thought I was showing my loyalty
to you, and I got so I could repeat
page after pBge of those figures
with one hand tied behind me. Be
fore I had got to where the hero
marries the girl in tba census . re
port, yon sent me the report of ihi
Public Printer, and I put iu my
evenings for weeks on that, and then
the Patent Office reports began to
come, and the report of tbe Agncul
tural Bureau, with occasional depart
rnent reports. I was on my last lap
and read all of those reports except
about a cord aud a half, when I be
gan to receive small documents from
you in envelopes, and I thought
what a nice time I w-onld have read
ing them ; but today I opened some
of them and I hope fo die if they
a"6 not speeches on the tariff. I do
not wish to complain, but honestly
John, dm 1 ; you think that is spread
ing it ou rather thick ? man tries
harder than I do and no man sticks
by a friend loDger than I do, and it
does seem to mo there ought to be
some way in which I can show my
loyalty to you without reading those
tariff speeches, Once I was young
and foil of vinegar, and I could read
old back-number speeches of slates
meD and enjoy them, .>but late years
since my hair has departed and rheu
mati8m and neuralgia have taken its
place, I have to read something light
or I don’t sleep. Send me some mere
statistics, with plenty of figures in,
for I can glance over a page of them
and sort of jump accounts and aver
age it up, but these Breeches are go
ing '0 broak me down.
The last speech you sent me wt i
Senator Sherman’s to Boggans ile
on the tariff. If Sherman got you
to send it to mo I wish you woo d
see him nod explain to him that
while I would do anything in leason
for yon, he most excuse me from
reading it. I don’t want to hurt his
feelings or yonrs. and I don’t want
to break the friendship that has exts
ted so long between you aud me,
but, by the eternal John, 1 won’t
read that tariff speech. You may
think I have giown cold and hntigb
ty, bui how would you feel if you
had to read those speeches just to
oblige a friend ? If there is any
thing that I can do for you that is
reasonable just call on me. Only
the other day I was talking about
you to a Republican and he said- he
guessed he would have to go hack
on you the next time yon were up
for Senator, because you hadn’t sent
him any documents. I gave him a
lot of tlyjso.you sent me and told
him yo$ sent them to Lira in my
care, and he is all solid for you now,
though I had to lie. I will lie for
you, John, or do anything that does
not cause wear and tear of brain, hut
yon must let mo off on thos 1 t inff
speeches.
Yours truly.
P. S — Say, John, there is n party
of us coiningdown'to Washington pret
ty soon lobbying for the post office
appropriation. I have told them we
could go right to your house. Is
that all right? You could make us
up a lot of beds on tbe floor in the
parlor I have told them I knew
you so well that it would be all
right to go right to the house at any
time of night. Leave the key under
the door mat and chain up the dog.
By the way, it isn’t just the thing to
snggest, hut you ought to have a
few cases of bottled beer where we
sleep, uot for publication, but us uu
evidence of good faith. And dou’t
fail to have Milwaukee beer, ns we
are a little sensitivi. Well, goo’*
bye. Don’i forget to see Sherman.
A Western newspaper says that the latesj
sensation is a St. i-ouis horse that chews
tobacco; 1 ut the greatest sensation is Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup.
What a Canning Factory Dues.
The Fremont (O ) Canning Oouipa
ny advertises for 1100 acres of sweet
corn, 200 itcrea oj tomatoe§, 50 acres
of peas, 50 of sweet pumpkins, 20
acres of string beans and 20 acres of
Lima beans. They will use ail this
quantity in putting np canned goods.
They say the peas and string beans
can be raised from June 5 to June
25, and the same ground then be
nseci for sweet corn or tomatoes, thus
getting two crops off the same
ground in tbe same season: the corn
and tomatoes coming in September
and October. “The sweet pumpkin
can be raried amidst the field corn,
thus gaining an extra crop the *ame
seasou on one piece ot grouud. We
will pay for sweet corn Dot less
than $6 per !cn, and will gunruntre
$1G to $20 pci ,.C! . As b id at last
season was on coru, a number of
farmers received as high as $35 per
acre for their corn. The stalks are,
as yon ail know, worth more than
twice the amount of straw. Sweet
corn may be planted op to the first
week in July.” One can get an idea
from this of the great value of a can
ning factory to the fanners of the
county in which it is located. Grif
fin is well situated for such an in
dostiy, as onr lands are well adap
ted to rairing all kinds of vegeta
bles with profit, and we hope ere
long to set a canning facte ry estab
lished along witli all onr tt ! ;
ried industries.

The title page of this book with
all its fullness givls a very imper
feet snmmary of its contents. These
are rich in every quality that invests
a book with a fascinating interest to
every reader. ‘The facts are Btart
ling the language in which they are
narrated fittingly chosen and tho de
monueraent often a surprise. Tho
author was not only an eye witness
of many of tbe thrilling scenes de
picted, but was a participant in sev
eral of the most exciting, and on
tbe staff of probably tbe most dar
ing chief of tbe Confederate cavalry.
As comparatively little has been
published about the Southern pin*
ses of the great conflicts wbieb onr
author so vividly describee, and as
a new generation bus come opon
the stage of life since these occurr
ed, this volume will be a welcome
addition to tbe war liteiftture of
the days that tried men’s souls, nnd
will interest, like the pages of a ro
mance while it conveys tho facts of
actual history. Tbe book is amply
and beautifully illustrated, not only
with portraits of those whose names
are Btill engraven upon the hearts !
of thousands, but with views of j
many battle -scenes, and will
re i with avidity in the
of -onth and North alike.
