The Lacrosse Republican and Leader
in winding up flattering notice of the
member from this district, Hon. Geo.
c. Hazelton, says: "with such men IN
Congress Wisconsin cannot help but oc-
cupy leading position This grace
full tribute to the untiring energy and
representative ability of Mr.. Hazleton is
but just. As will be seen in another
place dark day for the party is pre-
dicted when it is proposed to withdraw
such men as the present member and
substitute the nondescript articles now
trying to prove themselves the favorite
sons of Dane. There is little fear that
the people Of the district will be SO blind
to their own interests as to permit this
to be done. They are not in the habit
of throwing an able representative over
board to make room for one of much
less capacity.

Inc nerves of the esthetic Oscar have
been sadly Jared during his western
trip and he is now of the opinion that as
nation the Americans are totally de-
ficient in art decoration. !" But he ex-
tends hopes. We have a future. The
future viii come not from the dandies
of Fifth avenue but from the miners in
the Rocky mountains. These were the
best dressed men Oscar saw, as '.eyerv-
thing they wore had natural sense of
rightfulness. 1t is unfortunate that
he did not happen around in melon time
or the natural sense of adaptibility of
the clothing of the small boy as he bore
away from melon patch with bull
dog and pitchfork in full pursuit would
have speedily discounted the rightfulness
of the miner in the eyes of this apostle
of the beautiful. When it comes TO a
retreat from melon patch there is moth
ing to compare 10 a Doric pair of
breeches, one story without basement
and Corinthian shirt with ragged capi-
tai. Its just too ravishingly too too in
tensely soulful for anything

A bill has been recently introduced in
the House providing for an annual appro-
priation of Sl0,000,000 for educational
purposes, to be divided among the states
in proportion to iIliteracy. 1t is hoped
by the originators of the plan that by
removing this faint new political era
will be incidentally developed in the
South, which section would absorbe al
most the entire amount of the appro-
priation. This is worthy aim but of
doubtful effect. No amount of educa-
tional advantages will diminish the
penetrating power of a shot gun charge
or convince a tissue ballot that it has no
place in well regulated ballot box.

all sectionalism will vanish. 1t will be
life and death struggle. Let it come.

Of readiness appears to be the placing of
