Will not the unreasonable discrimination in favor of beer saloor.s have the inevitable effect of making beer sellers also the sellers of whiskey on the sly % Its cer­ tain result will be the increase of fraud and deception, and additional difficulty in the regulation of tiie liquor business. Does any one suppose that one-lialf the men who will sell whiskey under the new law will take out the proper license? Temperance people need not plume themselves too much 0|, this new high license bill, for It will prove a bitter disappointment. L.J. D.

Tiie Harvard Independent ef last week says; C. L. Curtis, onr most valued WoolstooJ; correspondent, who hits l>cen in the railway mail service for the pa ft nve months, h:»s temiered his resignation, to laka eff<;e«. last week, hut lw whs .-siwin ordere<l for iliuy |<ist .tiomiar. >ir. 1:11m* was rum»elicit lo tnke this step because of poor health and the «x- tniordlnary Hard run between Ohioajro and lluriington. He wilt leave the service ns soon a» Im successor is appointed. Now, Mr. Independent why not come right out squarely, luce the mii-fc, and acknowledge that C. L. Curtis, "our most valued Woodstock correspondent" got Ihe "grand bounce." That when you called upon the *• powers that Iw" to try and have him re-Instated, you were Informed that be did not have the capacity, either physically or mentally, to till the position. Also that It was arranged that Charley might put In his resignation and not have it published^ that he was removed. "Oh! how the mighty -have fallen." This ^valued Woodstock correspondent." wlie has presumed to criticize men who forget more every morning before breakfast than lie ever knew has finally been "weighed in the balances aiid art found wanting." He is a prettv specimen to be writing about ilieu being "shyster lawyers." war horses," etc.-- itoodsfoc/t SentineL The above from the Sentinef, which was written by the "shyster lawyer" therein referred to. and who Ims re­ peatedly acknowledged by ids own lip# that he commanded tiie Invalid corps for two long years at Elmira, N. Y„ during the late war, and who has been unceremoniously kicked out of every political gathering Into which he hat forced himself during the past two years, and not by the whiskey guxxling "editor," who Is also superintendent of a Sunday School, and it is an acknowl­ edged fact that it Is a disgrace to the Sunday School. Iu regard to tiie above I wish to stale a few facts which are matters of recort' and can be verified in every particular. During the two months previous to my resignation iny friends were aware of my determina­ tion to resign at an early dav for the reasons given above by the editor of the Independent. My resignation, dated the 7th lust., was In the hands of the proper authorities on the 9th. On the following weeK I received a tele­ gram from James E, White, Superin­ tendent of the Railway Mall Service, which read as follows ; CHICACSO. ILT.., Mav 14, W3. to C. L Cttrti*, Postal Cltrk, H'owMtrt, IIL Report her? for duty at once. WHITE, Supt. I Immediately obeyed the above or­ der and made three round trips be­ tween Chicago and Burlington, Io*va. during which time my successor was appointed and qualified so as to allow of my resignation being accepted. -.At tl*«* time that "the shyster lawyer" was writ lug the deliberate lie for the Sentinel, as quoted above he knew tlrnt I was on- my regular ru»i as a postal clerk, ai d to prove t!.at he wilfully lied. I will quote the following "Gen­ eral Order'* which e very lawyer, though he may be a ••shyster;' knows is in force: WASIIIMOTOIT, D. O., Feb. fi, 1880. General Order Xo. ill SKO. 1.

Approved. n. M. KKV, Postmaslei Uetieral. To prove to your readers tliat. this coutemptable liar published the above lie. through spite I would state that iu my correspondence to the Harvard Independent- some two weeks ago I challenged him to show that he had not maligned and villi tied one of our mo«t honored citizens, which lie has not and can not do, and what we here state lie dare not deny. We are in possession of many damag­ ing facts in the life of ti'is assumed christian end Superintendent of a Sun- flay School which we propose to give to tiie public in the near future, and one which lie d»re not deny is that lie spent nearly every evening during bis late visit to Wasliii>gtou I') drinking whis­ key and playing cards.

We have never laid claims to groat mental capacity, bul when this alleged "editor" who "can not write even an estray noticc" (and every reader of his paper is aware of tiie fact) talks about meiita! capacity.

It is the intention to construct, maintain, and operate a railway commencing at a point near the state line of Illinois and Wisconsin near the village of Uenoa, in Walworth county, and running in a northwesterly dire< tion across the Sine to I.akeStiperi ir near Superior Citv, With a branch commencing near Xerednh, in Jun.'au county, and running northwesterly to a point on tiie St. Oroix river near Cliftot Mill*, in Pierce eounty; at so with a branch commencing near Ueneva and running to Mil­ waukee. The main line is to lie sliont S52 miles in length, the branch to Clifton Mill* 145 miles, and the branch lo Milwaukee about U miles. A subsequent dispatch to the same paper gives an interview with Hon. A. J.

A meeting to arrange ihe preliminaries, and the plan of operations, is to be held at Geneva Lake in June. It is supposed the old Chicago and St Paul Co. are at the bottom of this move and Of course the Intention must be to extend the line front Lake Geneva direct to Chicago, as it would be all nonsense to build a i«ad whose main line is 3A3 miles In length connecting With the Northern Pac.ilic, with branches to Milwaukee and Clifton Mills, measuring ItfO miles more, with a little village liko Lake Geneva as its permanent southeastern termin- niis.
