BARNUM'S HAT.
The Greenbac& Orator Gets Tangled
and experiences q panic.

The PRESS last week announced,
as fully as time would permit, the
failure Of the Greenback meeting ad-
vertised for Wednesday night.
The itinerant package of elo-
quence that was to have exploded
was Mark Barnum, who edits a pa
per at Wausau with the incendiarv
name Of The Torch of Liberty"
The torch Of liberty had a BAD
time the night he was here.
The disappointment at not having
an audience affected him and he
took some soothing syrup.
1t went to his head-perhaps it
sought vacuum.
He wandered abroad in the dark.
He brought up In the rear of An
drew klmmeter's building and got
tangled up i'll the scaffolding used
| by the bricklayers.
He may have gone out there to
burn the bonds.
Or issue more currency.
Or to see how labor is being
robbed.
Or to throw mp panic.
He lost slick looking plug hat
which the boys found and held in
| trust.
The next morning weary look
ing orator made his appearance and
wanted to discuss the hat question.
The boys thought he might take
a brick and call it a hat, but he
didn't take.
They offered to mount his torch
of liberty with hat for the small
sum Of two dollars, Just enough to
pay for wear and tear of mind in
taking care of it.
He expostulated.
They said that the hat market was
very firm that morning.
1t wouldn't look we'll for a torch
Of liberty to go about the country
in a harless condition, and after
much waiting he got his hat.
If this torch of liberty wanted to
lecture on hard times, the ought to
have gone right at it that morning,
and furnished his own specimen.
When Mr.. Barnum, the torch of
liberty man from Wausau, visits
these parts again to tell how labor
is robbed; how the poor man is hav-
ing skullduggery practised upon
him; how panics are born and bred ;
how the rich are getting all the stuff
fling from the turkey; what the rem
edy is, etc.
Just keep sober Mr. torch of lib
erty and don't prowl around the
back yards III the dark and lose your
hat.-Menash0 Press.

THE DEMOCRATS seem never before
to have realized how great and good a
man is JENKINS. OF all the candi-
dates for the gubernatorial position
upon the Democratic ticket, and we
may say, de feated by the popular vote
of Wisconsin the past tweuty years,
JENKINS, in the estimation of the
boss dems. is bigger man than they
have ever before found-the noblest
Roman Of them all How he has so
long succeeded in hiding his light I'M
der bushel, is mystery. Why he
is a second immaculate conception.
He is the democratic saviour who is
to die for the democratic party in
November, though one would suppose
by the beilowings of the democratic
press that he was already one of the
elect We are sorry for JENKINS
Undoubtedly he is a fair man, and
will help to make the old corpse
smell a trife sweet till after its burial
He undoubtedly is not to blame for all
the hulabaloo that is being made over
him, and if it pleases him, why who
cares. He will probably fit about
like bat in the twilight for the next
thirty days, and then confirm him
self to his collections. and briefs, and
make money as he has done the past
twenty years when nobody save his
clients know of his existance. But
to be candid, the parade of the dem
ocratic press IS altogether too thin.
The parties extremity is its opportuni-
ty. 1t was without head, and knew not
where to find one for the writing
carcass. MITCHELL decliued, the
state was looked over from centre to
circumference for a man to lead the
forlorn hope, and he was found in a
dingY law Office, and then everybody
exclaimed "Who'se JENKINs?" II
is necessary to gush. else his defeat
will be overwhelming. The time is
brief, and what is said must be said
with flourish, while the blowers
know that defeat is as inevitable as
death or taxes. Gov. SMITH is going
to be the next Governor of Wis. if he
lives, and we'll wager brown stone
front that he'll live, for who ever
heard of Smith dying? Blow your
bugles, boys. but mufle the drums Just
trife.

itself good deal Of uneasiness be-
cause Gov. VIM. E. Smith has filled

its standing as truth teller. have

The Bill Equalizing Bounties

1t is ardently hoped, know, by all the soldiers
of the land that the present Congress will not ad-
ourn without passing the Equalization Bounty Bill.
1t is an honest and just measure in every sense.
In this light it has ever been regarded Twice
it has been passed. and only waited the signature of
the President at time, unfortunately, when the
limit of the session had expired. Congress has al
ready been officially informed of the cost of paying
these bounties. Adjutant General Townsend has
stated (and no man is better informed on the sub
ject) that $40 100000 would cover the entire debt.
" Now is the accepted time" gentlemen of the SEN
ate and House of Representatives, to pay this just
and honest debt Fourteen years have rolled
around since these soldiers laid down their arms
and returned to their homes ALL we say unreserv-
edly, all of them injured in health by exposure and
hardship This debt was due them when the war
ceased 1t was note of hand, payable on demand
and yet the account is still unsettled Year by year
hundreds of these brave fellows are going down to
their graves The bountes of earth are for them no
more Year by year the Governments bill TO them
lessons, Are we purposing to allow death to wipe
out the dues TO patriotism! Surely this dastardy
charge cannot be made against this nation And
then look at the countless blessings this trhng sum
for trihing it is to us-woud confer upon thousands
of households The soldier, now mechanic
could with the amount he receives, secure much
needed outfit Of tools and improve his little cottage
the once soldier now farmer could purchase team
and break up his prairie. In fact, the money would
wonderfully benefit the essential producing classes
of the country and stimulate immensely its present
depressed business interests. There is not a single
argument against the passage of the bill, and a
dozen might be cited why it should pass. We are
on the eve of Presidential election, and let Con-
gressmen exhibit to the soldiers that in question
like this, they know party. Thus republicans
and democrats alike win win the favor and applause
Of those who saved the nation al the time of its
sorest peril
