friends are confident that he is well
lin the lead, and will pass under the

Among Iowa county people who

In the Milwaukee Republican Of
to-day appears a report of confer
ence between the members of the
State Board of Supervisors and rep
resentatives of the Milwaukee HUI
name society, in regard to reports
practiced in the State Industrial
School for boys, at Waukesha. The
Repu5lican editorially, refers to the
report as follows:
1t appears that, after thorough
investigation, the board is satisfied
that no ground exists for complaint
of the management Of school since
June last. 1t was at that time that
the Board Of Supervision entered
upon the discharge of its duties,
and it's members did not consider
that it was in their province to ex-
tend the inquiry over an earlier peri
cd. They have had every boy in
the school separately before them,
with no other person present, and
have encouraged each one to relate
all his grievances freely. In this
way they heard many complaints
about trivial matters; one boy thought
the coffee not sweet enough, another
had found his too sweet, one had
discovered a pebble in his soup, and
another wanted to change from the
family house he was in to a differ
ent one, but the general and concur,
rent testimony was that they were
well and kindly treated. The COM
plants were sufficient to prove that
the boys spoke freely, and without
fear of any unpleasant consequences
resulting from their frankness, and
the character Of their complaints
was such as to satisfy the Board that
the stories of cruel and inhuman
treatment are idle or malicious in
ventions. The members of the
board have no interest in whitewash-
ing the school; they did not select
the present superintendent and other
officers and are in no way response
BILE for them, and their deliberate
Judgment, after careful and thor.
ough investigation, ought to satisfy
the public that the stories original.
ing with sensational newspapers are
entitled to no weight whatever.

The Circuit Judgement.

In posing a resolution endorsing
Judg, Cothren's reelection, the
County Board OF Crawford Co. APP
porently acted without reference to
the sentiment Of the people whom
they assumed, without warrant, to
| represent. This view is sustained
by the following, found in last weeks
Prairie du Chen Union:
The judge Of the fifth Judicial
circuit is getting IN his work ear y,
as caudidete for 4e-election. There
are very good reasons why the
county board OF supervisors Of this
county should not have taken the
actioa il did. 1t will occur to many
that the opportunities enjoyed by
the members for forming an opinion
as to "the satisfactory and eXpedi
tious manner ia which the present
Judge has transacted the business
Of the office" have been very meager,
too meagrc by far TO warrant the
board IN trauscending the purposes
for which it had met, and lowering
its dignity in order to make capital
for man whose love Of office and
power is oil consuming. If the
members OF the board, as indivi d.
uals. wanted to yield, or found it
indicate to resist, the person al
appeals made 30 them and had eX.
pressed their wishes and opinions
70 criticism would have appeared
herein. AS governing body, they
had no right, and it was very i'm
proper for them to take any action
on the premises. Assuming that

passing vote of thanks to him on
! that account. This piece of work is

Cothren is in any way responsible
for it, it is not creditable to him.
It is undiguitied for a judicial officer
to attempt to forestail public opin-
ion by such means. The bar Of this

Summer in Norway.

A writer in the atlantic Monthly thus
narrates her impressions of the almost
uninterrupted daylight Of a Norwegian
summer
One comes actually to yearn for a
little Christian darkness to 60 to bed by,
much as he may crave a stronger sun by
day, to keep him warm, he would like
to have reasonable nighttime for
sleeping. At first there is stimulus,
and weird sort Of triumphant sense
Of outwitting nature, in finding ones
self able to read or to write by the
suns light till nearly midnight Of the
clock. But presently it becomes clear
that the outwitting is on the other side.
What avails it that there is light
enough for one to write by at ten o'clock
at night, if he is tired out, does not
want to write, and longs for nothing
but to go to sleep? Ifit were dark, and
he longed to write, nothing would be
easier than to light candles and write
all night, if he chose and could pay for
his candles. But neither, money nor
ingenuity can compass for him normal
darkness to sleep in. The Norwegian
house is one-half window in their long
winters they need all the sun they can
get; not an outside blind, not an inside
shutter, not dark shade, to. be seen !;
streaming, flooding, radiating in and
around about therooms, comes the light,
welcome or unwelcome, early or late.
And to the words "early land "late" Z"
there are in q Norway summer new
meanings: the early light Of the sum-
mer morning sets in about half-past
two the late light of the summer evei-
ing fades into luminous twilight
about eleven. Enjoyment Of this
species Of perpetual day soon comes to
an end. After the traveller has written
home TO everybody once by broad day
light at ten o'clock, the fun of the thing
is over normal sleepiness begins to
hunger for its rights and dissatisfaction
takes the place of wondering arnuse-
ment. This dissatisfaction reaches its
climax in few days; then, If he is
wise, the traveller provides himself with
several pieces of dark green cambria,
which he pins up at his windows at
bedtime, thereby making it possible to
get the seven or eight hours rest for
his tired eyes. But the green cambria
will not shut out sounds; and he is
lucky if he is not kept awake until one
or two o'clock every night by the un-
ceasing tread and loud chatter of the
cheerful Norwegians, who have been
forced to form the habit Of sitting up
half their nighttime, to get in the
course Of year their full quota Of day
time. t8 es7
