The late Ex-Governor c. c. Wash
burn was great and good man. ac-
cording to the obituaries written soon
after his death, but recent develop
ments show that after all he was but
human, and not entirely above re-
proach. Some two or three years ago
one Alexander Nevins, of La Crosse.
established in that city newspaper
called the Daily News. He made it
an anti-ring organ, and red-hot one
at that, and was doing a booming
business. For some reason not at the
time given the publication of the pa
per was discontinued, and the cause
of its suspension remained profound
mystery until after Washburn S
death, since which Mr.. Nevins in
forms the public that it was discon-
tinued ''because G. G. Washburn an
nounced his intention of severing his
business relations with my father if
it was not stopped. Washburn
knew by this species of bulldozing he
could crush ont an enterprising anti
ring journal at great sacrifice to its
publisher, and unmercifully did so.
Not content with this exploit, Wash
burn threatened to ex-communicate
the father of Nevins, if the young ed
ifor xubo bo1 baau 0ivinu tho old M.
lltical hacks of La Crosse a vigorous
dose of fresh and independent journal
ism did not leave the city, as he
(Washburn) desired to make that place
his future home. And to carry this
persecution still further, Nevins al
leges that Washburn, through others,
bought $500 mortgage against prop
erty costing HIM (Nevins) over $4,000
for the sole purpose of foreclosing the
same, that the mortgage was foreclos-
ed and he lost his property. Notwith-
standing Mr.. Washburn's greatness
and goodness his manner of BULLDOG
ing Nevins, not even permitting him
to reside in a certain city after caus-
ing his financial ruin, bears striking
resemblance to some of that employed
in the South which he as political
stump orator has so often earnestly
denounced. The "mantle of charity"
is sometimes cut little too large and
made of too heavy material.

The New York World is trying to
make Democratic political capital out
of the passage by Congress of the river
aud harbor bill over the Presidents
veto, but the Chicago Times looks at
the matter inst as it is and says:
"During the congressional CAM
paign which will open with the close
of the heated term, Democratic aspir-
ants for place may be depended on to
inveigh against the gross extravaganza
of the present congress which has Re
publican majority, and to make many
seductive promises of economy ii they
are put in charge of affairs. In order
that there may be no misunderstood
ing on this subject, it May be well to
state that in the present congress there
ale thirty seven Democratic senators
and one hundred and thirty Demo
cratic congressman. Here is repre-
Sentation able to prevent almost any
Objectionable legislation. 1t was pow
erful enough to filibuster against the
unseating of southern bull-doZer I'M
til the majority was compelled, as a
means of facilitating business to adopt
an extraordinary and very questionable
gag rule. If even one half of it's
members had voted to sustain the
presidents veto, the river and harbor
bill could not have passed. In the Sen
ate, of the thirty-seven Democrats
only five enrolled themselves on the
side of the president, and of the one
hundred and thirty in the house only
thirty were opposed to the great mi
guilty. Not many years ago one of the
dearest tenets of Democracy was that
no appropriations should be made by
congress for internal improvements.
Such use of the public money was
held to be unconstitutional, and the
man who urged it was regarded by the
faithful as very culpable political
sinner. AT that time the party was
usually consistent, and practiced
what it preached. If its preaching
continues i'll opposition to internal i'm
prevents, as it is likely to, it should
not be forgotten that in the senate five.
sixths of the Democrats, and in the
house more than three fourths of the
Democrats, have just voted to pass the
most gigantic and corrupt river and
harbor bill ever enacted over the pres
ident's veto, and that without their
votes it could not have become law. =
