THE REASON WHY.

The reason why the Potter law is
not enforced, regardless of Governor
Taylor's proclamations and buster, is
told by Mr.. Bashford, the son in-law of
Gov Taylor and editor of the Madison
Democrat. Alta grange picnic held near
Devils Lake recently Mr. Bashford made
aspeech in the course of which he said /:
"From personal observation I know
that Governor Taylor is being daily
hesieged, by railroad agents to induce
him to relax his efforts at the enforce
ment of the Potter law"
On this point the Madison Journal
remarks:
The fact that Gov. Taylor is beseiged
daily by agents of the railroads, to re-
Jax his efforts to do his duty, will surpri Sc
recple. They will wonder why the be.
negers were not repulsed and disheartened
before this, and will think that these agents
are the political friends and advisers of His Ex-
cellency, or they would not be with him
daily, arguing against the enforcement of
the law.
The fact is patent to everybody that
Governor Taylor's time is more occu.
pied with setting up the pins for his
own political advancement than it is
In endeavoring to enforce the Potter
Law, or anything else favorable to tie
interest of the people Of the state. 1t
las become matter of notoriety that
Governor Taylor is casting longing
eyes on the United States Senatorship,
and is willing to sacrifice everything in
order to attain the prize. His move
Hents in this direction are not without
creating considerable distur bance in
the Reform camp. The Governor
considers himself sure of the Granger
influence to carry him along but being
somewhat doubtful of success without
ether help he naturally turns for as
siztznee to some of the railroad mag.

of the Reform movement and chiefly

DEATH FROM A MANS BITE. "A very
singular death occurred at village in
Butler county, Ohio, Wednesday. A
man named Edward Dryer had en-
gagged in fight about week ago with
Michael Casey, Hibernian section-boss
on a railroad, in the course of which
Casey bit one Of Dryers eyebrows
nearly of. The wound did not seem
at all dangerous at first. Dryer pro-
secuted Casey and had him bound over.
Dryer complained In court of sickness

in the head. He grew worse steadily,

portions. The symptoms indicate the
poisonous condition of Casey's teeth,
and postmortem is proposed.

Independent Reform in Wisconsin.

Last year, under most solemn anti
monopoly pledges, the people of Wis
consin put the reform party in power.
What the people had paid for years
before in extortionate freight rates was
more than their taxes of every nature.
Certain laws were passed for the relief
of the people. The president Of one
of the leading roads asserted at Wash
ington, in an authorized interview, that
his road would disobey the law, and if
the public authorities pressed them to
recognize the laws, they would dis
continue their trains. A short time
afterward, letter was addressed to the
governor still bidding defiance to the
laws, and he is disobeying them stub
bornly to this day.
Forty out of every fifty Of the peo-
pie Of Wisconsin are in favor Of sus-
tanning Gov. Taylor and the state Off
GERS in enforcing the laws, and COM
polling the Wall street owners, with
their resident dependents in the state,
to obey them, and show the world that
laws are made to control corporations
and rich individuals as much as they
are farmers and laboring men. And
yet, while this is being done, the pre-
sideut of the St. Paul road is slyly and
anxiously a candidate for the US.
Senate next winter. He is supported
by all the English monopoly papers of
Milwaukee, will probably secure a
majority of the delegation from Mil
waukee city and county-and we shall
be surprised if Dodge county don't
elect delegation Of similar character.
And, why? Simply because the reform
press of a considerable portion of the
state is led by the monopoly press of
Milwaukee, and the country press have
not the courage to come square out,
state to the people the plain truth that
unless they arouse themselves there
will be Legislature elected that will
repeal all the important laws passed
last winter, and make the leading law
breaker U. s. Senator.-W ouldn' such
result be pretty commentary on the
profession of some of the leading So
called reform politicians of the state?
If God, in his providence, ever al.
lowed any political organization to be
under the control of such an equal
amount of perfdy and assininity as
has been exhibited by some of the re
form party since the passage of the
railroad laws, the Age has not seen it
pointed out. The state of Wisconsin
ought to-day to be as sound as rock
for 10000 majority for the reformers
on the monopoly question, and Sena-
tor elected who would be worthy con :
peer of Senator Booth, from California.
Instead OF this, the reformers are all
Of a tremble and in doubt, and lot of
shysters and mountebanks are fitting
about the state, apparently engaged in
the ridiculous business Of working for
themselves, but really are laying the
wires with railroad rapidity, and pro-
badly money, the election of the pres
ident Of the St. Paul road. Such
things ought not to be, and would not
have been, had the questions at issue
been met openly, frankly and honestly.
They have not been. and hence the
muddle.-ladustrial Age.
