STATE PRISON s'REFoRM. One of
the things the present Reform admins
tration promised to reform was State
Prison management. This is about the
way they have succeeded In order to
make it appear that there was deficien-
cy IN the finances, as left by the Repub-
hcan commissioner, an inventory of
lumber and other material was taken at
about Is per cent. below the actual cost
of such articles. Then the Administration
last winter demanded as necessary
contingent $45, O00-just $4,000 more
than Mr.. Wheeler had estimated as
needed the year before, under Republi-
can rule. And this, too, in the face of
the pretensions that the State Prison
should be made self-supporting when
the Reformers took charge of affairs.
Under Republican management all the
prison shops and all improvements OF a
permanent character were paid for,
and large and valuable stock of lumber
was purchased from time to time.
What improvements the Reformers have
made can be represented by a cipher
To cover up their Encouragement and
NAL administra ton, they have entered
into a discussion regarding the pract1-
cability of removing the prison to La
Crosse, or some other point more acces-
sible to railway and water communica-
ton. Several of the Reform papers are
favoIing the project. Something must
be done to cover up their inefficiency.
Now it would cost the taxpayers of this
State, at the lowest estimate, two MILL
ons of dollars to remove the State Prison
to any of the points suggested. This
is purely style of Reform peculiar to
the Democratic party, and is of piece
with many other things that one year
and half of bogus Reform has develop

The fractional currency has become a
dingy, sticky, ragged-edge abomination,
but it must be admitted that it has been
rather profitable to the Government. It
is estimated by the Treasury Depart
ment from large induction of facts that
of the S40,000,000 outstanding, fully
one forth has been destroyed. This
would be inconceivable but for the great
CONGREGATIONS at Chicago, Boston and
elsewhere; but the destruction by these
fires must have been enormous. The
Secretary of the Treasury, having now
accumulated $50, 600, 600 of silver in one
form or another; is now about to begin
the redemption and retirement of frac-
tional currency, and for that purpose he
will first call in the denominations und-
er SO cents. The Secretary has made it
q part of his calculations that at first the
silver coin will be boarded, and he has
made provision accordingly. 1t is stated
that the Treasurer has already shipped
large amounts of silver of the smaller
denominations to the subtreasuries, and
the process of issuing them may be ex-
pected to begin at at an early day.

Gen. E. S. BRAGG, OF Fond du Lac,

Gen. E. S. BRAGG, OF Fond du Lac,
made the speech of the evening at the
'.sore-head caucus" $50 styled by the
News In Milwaukee last Friday. The
speech is reported in condensed shape ::
In opening, he freely and rather face
tionsly admitted that he knew as well as
any one in the room that Taylor was an
old ignoramus wholly tintit for his place.
There wasn't man in the room but
would make a.better governor. [Great
applause. He knew nothing and could
do nothing. But Notwithstanding all
this, the rank and file of the party be-
lieve in him. The farmers see in him
the Potter law personified. They be-
lieve he made the law and afterward
secured the decision of the Supreme
Court affirming its validity. Gentlemen,
you could not make them believe any
thing else. They say he is an honest
old farmer and that he is the great
Tribune of the people, while we all
know that he is a great old ass. [Roars
of laughter. |. People want chance; 1t is
good for them; now they want saw dust,
and they should have it, in Taylor. Re
newed laughterl. But while we admit
that he is weak and worthless, we must
acknowledge that he is conn aratively
harmless, and the favor he has among
the farmers should lead us to support
him. We know that he has been seen
by the railroad officials; we know too
that he has drawn about him kitchen
cabinet of law-tricky politicians who
use him as their too-but the ordinary
voters would not believe this. 1 have
travelled a great deal through my county
lately. Everywhere the farmers spoke
in favor OF Taylor. They will support
no one else SO enthusiastically. His
election is not SO important as it is to Sc
cure majority in the Legislature next
session. There will be new apportion-
ment then, and Democrats should be
careful to elect their members. A split
in the party wo'lld be fatal to the cause.
and for that reason alone [ think we
should stand by Taylor.

TIE Sentinel thinks it is very awk-
ward and untimely development for the
Democratic papers, to say the Least.
They have been trying to make some
capital against Maj. Betz, bit were put
down by SO plain a tale IS this; that
Baetz paid over to his successor every
cent of money due the State, and that
he made good out of his own pocket the
loss by the failure of the Chicago bank
at which an account was kept for con-
venience in making exchange. Driven
from their first position by this simple
and unquest;oned fact, they were vehe-
mently declaiming that it was most re-
prehensible practice for an officer to de-
post public funds in a bank. Just at
the me-1sIt when this chorus was loud
est, the Corn Exchange Bank ut Waupun
failed, and it was found that Mr.. II. \.
Smith, the Democratic warden of the
State Prison, had deposited $4,000 be-
longing TO the State Ill the collapsed in
