A Chance to Explain.

Our readers will remember the fine
enthusiasm that marked the campaign
efforts of the s'Reformer' last fall in
heralding the economy of Taylor's
administration, by which $500 per
day was said to have been saved to
to the State, They told the lie so
often that possibly some of them got
to believe it themselves. The White
water Register, seeing something in
the recent revelation of Taylor's use
of his contingent fund, thinks an ex-
PLANTATION would be very pat just at
this time. 1t says:
Mr.. Geo. w. Bird of the Jefferson
Banner aud late private secretary to
his excellency the late Gov. Taylor,
probably exerted more lung power in
proclaiming that the reform admins
tration "was saving the State $500
a day. than any other biped III the
State. Therefore, will Mr.. Geo. w.
Bird, who claims to know all about
it and who was in position to know
all about it, explain the discrepancy
between this magnlloquent clamor
and the fact that the contingent fund
was being depleted to the extent of at
least $4,000 more than ever before,
and that too in many cases without
any vouches to show where the
money went to ? Gov. Washbnrn
used about 5000 of the contingent
fund in his two years of service, and
he had some extraordinary claims
upon it.; Gov. Taylor expended
nearly $4,000 in the same time and
that too without any extraordinary
claims. Will Mr.. Bird explain the
numerous erasures and entries in the
contingent-fund account book Will
he state how it happened that sums
ranging as high as $500 were drawn
out at sundry times without any
voucher TO correspond |? Will he
also explain how it happened that
numerous charges amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars, and several of
them without corresponding vouch.
ers, were entered upon the book in a
single day and that the last day of
the year ? The people" who were
being made rich at the rate Of $500
day." are beginning to fear that
there were leaks that operated in the
opposite direction quite as effectually,
and satisfactory explanation of the
above matter. by as good an
authority as Mr.. Bird, would doubt
less quiet their suspicious in some de-
gree.

| am glad to be able TO call your
attention to the prominent stand

in relation to the proposed bill to
reinstats the pensioners of the War
of 1919, who had forfeited their
claims on the Government by taking
up arms against il, or symputhizing
with the rebels. The associated
Press dispatches did not do justice to
Mr.. Caswell, to whom belongs the
credit of defeating that portion of the
dill to pay arrearages of pensions
during the time the holders were
actually in arms. The discussion on
the bill had gone along ewimmingly,
10 consequence of the general desire
of the Republicans TO promote ami
cable relations with the Southern
people, until Mr.. Caswell discovered
not only the reasonable character of
the section alluded to. but the i'm

THE NARROW GAUGE.-The Mil
waukee Ne,os says: Whatever may
be The real merits of the sysem Of
narrow-gauge railways, is is obvious
that they are attractinga very large
share of public attention at this time
We hear of newly projected routes in
various quarters, and, from the
cheapness with which they can be
built, it is highly probable that many
miles will be constructed during the
coming Summer Several broad
gauge roads have also been narrowed
and it looks as if freight lines for
short distances would be largely of
the narrow gauge. In Wisconsin
there are already half dozen pro-
iects for the construction of narrow
gauge roads. Richland will have one
in running order soon. La Crosse is
to have one commenced shortly
Fond du Lac is excited over the
probability of the success of the
Fond du Lac, Amboy and Peoria
route. Oshkosh is looking to the
early building Of a road running
north toward Lake Superior. The
management of the Milwaukee and
Dubuque line claim that the construc-
ton of their road is only question
of time. All of these are doubtless
good inceptions, and will be made
prof able when completed. The re-
peal of the Potter law has made a
wonderful change in the condition OF
railroad securities, and there is plenty
of European capital awaiting invest
ment in american roads. We can
Gee no reason why all OF these pro-
jected narrow-gauge railways, which
can be constructed ahd operated at
such limited expense, should not
receive all the sympathy and aid
necessary to ensure their completion.
Nothing develops the resources OF
country equal TO railways, and
Wisconsin has many thousands acres
which are yet comparatively inso-
lated and unopened, There is plenty
of room for all these enterprises and
more

THERE is little doubt now but what
our Centennial Exposition will far
surpass any of the worlds fairs r
exp0sitions that have vet been held.
Professor Archer, the British C,m-
missioner to tue Centennial. and one
well qualified to give an opinion in
such matters, expresses surprise and
pleasure at the preparations in Phila-
delphia and the exceptionally excell-
ent manner in which they have thus
far been managed. Great Britain
will be fairly represented as to her
leading Industries and already the
London newspapers have their artists
aud correspo"dents on the ground.
The experience gained at preyiOns
great expositions is being util zed in
many ways, and in none more impor-
tant than the system on which the
awards of merit will be distributed
q system which will give to its certi-
ficates of merit an exceptional weight
and influence.
