A NEW problem for scientific men
to solve is found in the immense
numbers of dead behring's which
within the last few weeks have been
seen floating on the surface of Lake
Ontario, in every part. No other
fish appears to have suffered such
Wholesale destruction, a fact which
adds to the mystery of the phenom-
enon. Various theories as to the
cause have been suggested, such as
an epidemic disease, the failure of
food OWING to the great increase
within the past few years, and the
effect Of the severe electric storms
which have prevailed on the lake
during the present season. Possibly
the same disturbance Of nature that
caused the recent earthqu axes IN
that region may have had something
to do with their mortality.

MADISON htSust -, 1917
The breaking out Of yellow fever
at Memphis and otter Southern
points, has caused perceplble in
crease of summer visitors 70 Madi-
son. as well as to other attractive
spots in the sturdy, healthful, Bad
ger State. Hotels here are all full
now. and the number Of elegant la
dies any gentleman to be seen con-
stantly promenading the streets and
enjoying the pleasant drives, IN dash
ing equipages, is greater than at any
time in summer for two years past.
The shores of the lakes are dotted
with the tents of camping parties ;
many Of them accompanied by some
of the chest families OF the city, en-
bracing women, children and SER
wants. To spend week or two in
tent on the lake shores-hunting,
fishing, croquet playing, boating,
etc. for amusement, and subsisting
on yictuals cooked in the smoke OF
the camp fire, has come to be re-
garded necessity in many well
regulated families" Aud yearly the
number of participants increases.
Since the advent Of A. c. Parkin-
son to the chair editorial of the Mad
ison Democrat, that sheet has rapid
| ~ degenerated in dignity of charac-
ter. From respectable and re-
spected paper, discussing public
questions and advocating political
principles in manner and with a
power that commanded the consid-
Grafton of readers of all parties, it
has become mere mud singer. Its
spatterings of late have been direct
ed toward the State carpenter shop,
in which it charges the people are
being robbed, ROBBED, ROBBED by
the manufacture of clothes horses,
for employees about the Capitol.
Which charge seems to have no 9TH
en- foundation than that some clerk
had clothes horse repaired at
cost to the State Of perhaps 3 cents
for glue. To defeat tho Republicans

must he united by something more
adhesive than pot of glue

what position shall be taken on the
issues of the day is matter of great
dispute. First. they want a man
with a "bar'l' which he is willing to

on further discussion it was found
very dangerous ground to stand on

empty sleeves, orphaned children
and broken hearted widows, with
the thousands of little green mounds

pecialy as laid down by the Southern

TIE Inconvenience and injustice
Of the property qualification for
voters is exemplified il recent devel-
opments in Rhode Island. Foreign
born citizens are required to own a
free hold worth sl30 before they can
vote. One gentleman, now a resi-
dent in Rhode Island, who command
ed a Union regiment during the re-
bellion, it is stated, has never been
able to secure the requisite land,
while his negro servant has no trou-
bic in voting. The State is small,
which makes it difficult to secure
freeholds, and there is evidence that
it is practically controlled by few
wealthy families.
