A coin with hole punched through
it is no money, and therefore not a
legal tender. The government will
not receive it, and it is worth only
what it will bring as bullion. A hole
is an innocent looking thing In a coin
but experts manage to get five to thir-
teen cents worth of silver by making
hole in a silver dollar. There il a
severe penalty for thus mutilating the
coin of the country.

WE believe that If Garfield had only
sufficient moral courage to resist the de-
nands of his party, that his administra
lion would prove one of the purest and
ablest in the history Of the United States.
Garfield is an able man, the peer if not
the superior of any of his predecessors.
Jefferson, Madison aud the Adamses, do
not overtop him in ability if, indeed, any
of them reach his stature. He is great
er statesman than Conkling and as an
orator he is tbs equal of the naughty
senator from New York who is generally
accorded supremacy. Garfield has the
ability to master ali subjects of state and
the acute discernnent necessary to fully
discriminate between the false and vital
issues of governmental affairs. If he
goes wrong he does so knowingly. He
cannot plead Ignorance as an excuse
While IN the house, he saw the Justice
of the demands of the democratic party
that certain laws be repealed, and boldly
declared his purpose to act in accordance
with his convictions. But he was not
strong enough to antagonize his party
and he lacked the courage of his CON
ylctions. 1t is too bad that SO mush
ability should be diluted by moral COW
ardice

THERE is a sensation throughout the
state at the discovery of systematic
steal on the part of the clerical employees
of the state senate for the last four years
The sum of 50, 900 was last year paid for
''extra" work in engrossing and enrolling
in the state alone The engrossing bill
numbers four times as many folios as the
laws published by the state paper and
these it is said should tally exactly. At
the time of auditing the bills the state
secretary says he was satisfied the amount
was outrageous, but as the bill was Ger
tilted by the clerk and presiding officer
of the senate, he had no discretion in the
matter. An investigation was demanded
by the constituents of an assemblyman
who denounced the senate expenditures
as q steal.
There is another feature connected with
the charges which shows moral corrup,
ton. This investigation will be watched
with interest and if properly conducted
will bring about astounding develop
ments.

The constitution of the state requires
that amendments TO that instrument be-
fore being submitted to the people for
ratification, be passed by both houses,
and then published for three months
preceding the next election held for the
election of Legislators. The succeeding
legislature passes the amendment afte,
which 1t is submitted to the people for
ratification. The amendment providing
for biennial sessions was published but
once in the official paper, and thus ali
the legal requirements have not been
complied with. 1t is said that all the
amendments to the constitution now ID
| force are defective in this particular OF
publication. The increase in the number
OF the judges Of the supreme court was
Illegal. 1t Is very probable that their
having served without question for three
years, has overcome the illegality by
| which the amendment was adopted. But
the constitution is go explicit in pre-
| scribing the manner of amending the
constitution that it will be folly to dis
regard it. The work of amending must
be begun from the bottom again.

THERE is every reason to believe Wis
cOnsin viii go democratic next fall. The
heavy state tax this year; the extrava-
gance in the management of the state
hospital; and the last steal in the senate
begin to open peoples eyes to the neces-
sity of a change. Not only these things,
but corporations are beginning to run
the country and no effort is made to
check them. There will be change
1t is already in the air. The defeat o.
the democratic party Last fall has made
honest republicans laugh at their fears OF
solid south. National issues will not
be injected into state politics for the next
two years. Attention will be directed to
local matters, and that will seal the doom
of the republican party in this state
Republicans have relied too much on
national issues and did not give attention
to home matters. They must stand Oh
their record at home, and not on the
speeches of Ben Hill and Wade Hampton.
The administration of state affairs is the
rock on which the party will split.

The new funding bill Il meeting With
o rood deal of condemnation from those
vino think the financial policy of the
government should be managed in the
interests Of the government creditors.
Same time agoa scheme was inaugurated
for the issuance of bonds of small de-
nominations bearing a very low rate of
interest, 8 per cent, designed as an in
vestment for the savings Of the poorer
class of people. The low rate Of interest
was not then denounced as now, for the
re lsou that it did not affect the Weather
classes of people. Now, the bonds which
national banks have deposited, with the
United States treasurer as a security for
the redemption of their circulating notes,
are to bear per cent. interest instead OF
six, four and half and four per cent,
and there is a storm of Indignation
When a bill was introduced to refund
the debt in bonds of four and four and a
half, there were like predictions of dis
aster on account of the low rate. But
the result did not justify the predictions
and the government made quite saving.
The usual arguments were made against
this refunding bill, ''injurng the public
credit" depression of business, y ode
! feat yefunding, etc. These are but
/ Suecious arguments in the interests of
those who have been growing rich at the
| expense of the government.

they confidence IN the remedy, the ex-

this fact in view, We make the following
proposition. Any person suffering with
