This method will be economical and will secure
to the state men who can legislate and judge things well enough for all
practical purposes. The way times are now we must get things at panic
prices or go without.
OUR CHRISTIAN NEIGHBORS HAVE GONE.
It pains us to announce that the Young Men's Christian Association, which
has had rooms on two sides of our office for more than a year, has moved
away. We do not know why they moved, as we have tried to do everything it
was possible to do for their comfort, and to cheer them in their lonely
life. That their proximity to the _Sun_ office has been beneficial to them
we are assured, and the closeness has not done us any hurt as we know of.
Many times when something has happened that, had it happened in La Crosse,
might have caused us to be semi-profane, instead of giving way to the
fiery spirit within us, and whooping it up, we have thought of our
neighbors who were truly good, and have turned the matter over to our
business manager, who would do the subject justice or burst a flue.
When the young Christians have given a sociable, we have always put on a
resigned and pious expression and gone amongst them about the time the
good bald-headed brother brought up the pail full of coffee, and the
cheerful sister cut the cake.
No one has been more punctual at these free feeds than we have, though we
often noticed that we never got a fair divide of the cake that was left,
when they were dividing it up to carry home for the poor.
