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.
