The Board of Control have decided
not to enter into formal investigation
of the charges made against the officers
of the Waukesha Reform School. 1t is
difficult to say what brought them to this
determination as it certainly would be
much more satisfactory to the people of
the state if thorough investigation were
made, and the charges proved or dis
proved. 1t is possible the board took

the things charged were committed be-
fore the present boad was created and
that the things complained of during the
incumbency of the present board are not
of so grave nature as to justify investi-
cation. We have an abiding faith that
Superintendent Sleep will not long re-
main in his present position and believe
that he is allowed to continue in it for
the present simply because of disincli
nation to yield summarily to what may
be regarded as clamor. The Sentinel's
Board will deter Sleep and the other
officers from indulgence in the brutalities
which characterized the past administra-
ton of that institution. When the time
comes for re-engaging a superintendent
the Board should and no doubt will take
into consideration the very serious charges
made against the present incumbent
While the acts charged against him while
working under the present administration
are not of SO fragrant nature as to JUS
tify summary dismissal, they are suffi-
Gent to warrant the Board, when the
time comes, to secure the services of a
man of kindlier feeling and broader SYM
pathies.

FEDERAL patronage will without much
doubt make number of southern states
republican after the manner of Virginia.
1t is certainly to be regretted that parties
should be built up by any such agency.
When men belong to political party not
because of the principles it represents
but because of the gain to be derived,
then are parties corrupting in their in
f1uence and dangerous to the stability of
the government. Malone is danger
GUS element made more so by his success.
Not dangerous in the sense of being hos
tile to the democratic party and success
full in extending the power of the repub-
lican party, but in the sense of represent
ing policy utterly subversive of politi-
col morality. When man abandons
party with which he has acted for years
for the purpose of securing the distribu-
ton of federal patronage, when an ad.
ministratiou makes federal Office re-
ward for political aspostasy, corruption
has tainted the life blood of the nation.
The solid south is far less an evil than
the employment of such means to break
up that solidity. 1t never works we'll to
win men by appealing to their cupidlty,
and this is the idea incarnated in the
person of Malone.

The state board is now at work invest
igating the Waukesha Reform School.
There cannot be much question of its
ability to correct any faults that may
have crept into the management. All
the complaints made have dated back to
time prior to the creation of the present
board. We know nothing of the board
of control further than one man but we
are satisfied that nothing of the nature
charged will be allowed to continue if he
can prevent it. The school was in need
of reform, far more than its inmates. If
what is charged against the officers be
true, the sooner they are required to seek
other fields of labor, the better, and we
have no doubt that this will be the de-
termination of the board.

THE history of a Russian nihilist who
having been arrested by the government
turned informer and had about 60 of his
accomplices arrested, sounds somewhat
like romance. This occurred about one
year ago, and "a short while after his
treachery led to the arrest of his former
companions body terribly mutilated
was found in his cell. The body was in-
tered as that of the traitor and every
body but those in the secret thought he
fell victim to the just revenge of those
he betrayed. Now it turns out that he
became spy for the government, that
the body was one taken from hospital.
A great many of the secrets with which
the government became acquainted came
through the agency of the man who was
believed to be dead.

The number of cases of lynching which
have occurred in this state within the
last year have been attributed to the lax.
ness of courts in inficting punishment
on criminals commensurate with their
crime, and there are many who think
lynching is justified by this iniudicious
leniency. What will such people saw OF
the verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of Ed. Williams 1t was fact pat
ent to everybody that Williams was taken
from the court room while his hands
Were manacled, by band of men who
did not dare to go near him while he was
IN the Eau Gale woods with his rifle in
his bands, and hanged to tree. But
the jury found he came to his death by
falling from the court house steps, on his
head. In view of tie determination of
the jury to allow those implicated in the
death of Williams to escape, is not lit
tie lynching demanded in the interests
of justice?

JUDGE Cox is very justly receiving crit
icism for allowing Guiteau SO much license
in the court room. A justice of the peace
in country town would have higher
appreciation of the dignity that should
characterize trial. But Cox allows the
criminal to defy him and to disregard all
his admonitions. He threatens to pun
ish Guitau for REPETITION Of some out
rageous disregard of court etiquette and
no sooner is the warning out OF the
Judges mouth than Guiteau does the
very thing he was cautioned not to DO,
and the judges threatened punishment
is looked upon as joke. There Is no
humor in Guiteau and people are not
disposed to be amused at his antics
They want justice dealt out to him. Ii
he was on trial for horse stealing his ir-
repressibleness might provoke mirth.
But under the present circumstances the
license granted him arouses indignation
throughout the country.

81 RELIEVE. said Guiteau in speaking

81 BELIEVE" said Guiteau in speaking
of his failure to secure large audiences
while engaged in the lecture business,
''that / would draw now" That was
the sage remark of q man with keen
perception of the peculiarities, not to
say the whimsical absurdities OF the
American people. Absurd gush never
looks to real offense but bowls itself
hoarse over that conservatism which will
not run to excess. We hear nothing on
street corners that can be construed into
structure on the Judge who allows Gui-
teau to repeatedly state that the murder
of the president was the inspiration OF
the deity. People are remarkably quiet
about the latitude accorded the assassin
in the court room, though if their hearts
were wrung to degree consistent with
the constituencies they simulated on other
occasions, howl of indignation would
go up which the court should heed. The
Manitowoc Tribune is wonderfully silent
on this subject for paper 80 filed with
bile against any person who should say
ought derogatory to president whom it
''honored" so deeply, whom it loved so
reverently that it took exception to an
article in this paper which expressed
far deeper appreciation of the excellent
qualities of the dead president than The
Tribune was capable of feeling. The
Nord-Westen has no word of disapprov-
al for the masquerade going on at Wash
ington although it was Mortified at our
failure to put on mourning, the fimsiest
and most mechanical expression of grief
ever invented by persons of shallow emo
tons.
Neither paper ever spoke in as high
terms of praise of Garfield as did The
Pilot. And the very article, the very
excerpt which called out the small and
malicious criticism of The Tribune, was
tribute paid to the mans genius,
though it did not try to cover up faults.
There is degree of extravaganza
about feigned or fashionable grief that
does but little credit to the mourners
depth of feeling. The person who stud
les outward forms advertises grief
which he does not feel. There is an ex-
cessive haste to resent fancied disparage
ment and absolutely nothing that 'passeth
the show" The Tribune and it's politi-
cal congener The Northwestern went in
to mourning and looked upon their weeds
with wonderful self complacency think
ing that few ounces of printers ink was
the most expressive exhibition of sorrow,
and then like boys proud of their gar
meEts made grimaces at those not SINH
larry clad. When there is just ground
for anger both papers are wonderfully
reticent. Their sentimental sorrow end
ed in the parade in which it had its
origin. When the season of mourning
was over they put off their sorrow when
they dotted their weeds.
