HE Sentinel forgot to state that the

disregard of party and with sucl credit
able independence in nominating MIR.
StoweI alderman, pitted him against a
high license man. Mayor Stowell GER
tainly deserved better treatment at the

this attempt to place him in ridiculous
position deserves the censure of every
one. Mayor Stowell is man honored
throughout the state and having nade
such fight against fearful odds the peo-
pie feel very much inclined to resent such
an insult as the republicans offered him.
The democrats in their treatment of him
are beneath contempt.

APPEALS To CONGRESSMAN FOR THE PEN

| WASHINGTON. April 2.-One of the
most industrious and agreeable of the
members from Wisconsin, who is withal
one of the most successful in securing
legislation beneficial to his constituents,
received the following letter which is
given as sample of the correspondence
of Congressman. The italics are those
of the writer:
DEAR SIR-Fearing that your mind
and attention are not sufficiently concen-
trated upon House bill No. 4OO9 to give
it the benefit of your valuable influence.
[ write in behalf of the widows.
sit would be as useless to ask you to
| realize our feelings in this matter, as it
was for Artemus Ward to make such a
request OF the ancient maiden lady who
condemned his demonstrations of ioy
when he became the father of twins. T
only ask yonr consideration and action
"Think OF the trials and patient aUait-
ing the average widow has endured to
secure her little So per month, and then
of her lifelong liabilities of being per-
suaded to throw that insufficient amount
away for man not worth one-half that
sum. Ordinarily, it takes less time to
sec her mistake than it did to get her
pension. Within my limited range of
observation are large number of pen
stoned widows who have been convinced
by some spooney masculine that he was
worth ten dollars per month and ia most
cases his value was overrated ninety per
cent. Besides these appeals to "woman's
love of gain, are more numerous ones
to her ''love and sympathy" which an
increase of pension would obviate by en-.
abling the widow to bestow some of her
immense q wealth upon the applicant
without binding herself to support him
and thereby losing her So assistance.
Look at the financial benefit to man
pending in bill 1909!
"We can then hire the 81 O man to chop
our wood and eradicate potato bugs and
have 81 left to board him with. If we
marry him our chances are good for do
ing that work ourselves and taking in
washing to buy his food and tobacco.
He might suffer privation. Don't you
see?
'tTo Senator or Member of Congress
the proposed increase may seem insiq-
nigcant. To widows and independent
relatives its importance is Unreasonable.
My dear sir, please tell your fellow
Congressman that they must act on this
matter under conviction of we'll direc-
ted kindness and justice, as we are un-
able at present rates to offer the usual
bride. However, if the bill is success
call on us for pumpkin pie for the crowd. |
"This letter is not in exact accordance |
with the suggested letter form, as pub |
lished by j. FL. Soule, of the United |
States Gazette, but is
yours, from one who Fever writes by t
recipe, and is to poor and unattractive to
marry, but most sincerely thine-for |
'4OO9'
81. H. P. (widow.) }"
The letter will be handed to the Com
mlttee on Pensions and doubtless will
strike them as forcibly as it did the mem
Der to whom it was addressed.

Those wicked democrats Thew are
now held responsible for the bastard
tickets sandwiched into the packages of
republican tickets used at Milwaukee,
1t Was dirty trick on the part of the
perpetrators. The use of split tickets is
perfectly iustifable. Bat when straight
tickets are sent out with splits sandwich
ed among them SO as to deceive the dis
tributor and voter, it is an evidence of
a total lack of principle. The tickets
came from the republican headquarters.
Still the Chicago Tribune says the only
reasonable safe position is that the
democratic managers by some sort of
sleight of hand sandwiched the splits in
with the regular tickets" To be sure
No one would ever think of ACCUSING the
guileless republican managers of such n
trick. The tickets were printed under
their management and distributed hv
them. But by some ''sleight of hand
the rascality was democratic work.

The Inter Ocean is responsible for the
statement that vessel masters residents
of Chicago, have formed social organ
ization whose membership is to be SO en-
larged as to include captains from all
over the lakes. The meetings are to be
semi-iterary. Already they have discuss
ed such subjects as ''Can Woman Love
Two Men at the same Timer" "Can a
man Really and Truly love Two or More
Women at the same Timer" Rather
weighty questions. The Mormons have
settled one. The number of women one
man can love is unlimited while a woman
can go into in6nitesimals in the matter
of the object loved. Each "Mormoness
has only fraction of ''some one to love-
and is happy. No doubt vigorous lake
captain has love "broad as the earth. Z"
On Saturday next they will discuss the
question of Poetry and Female Cooks. Z"
The connection between the parts of this
subject is not clear but it will no doubt
be elucidated by the vessel men.

ALMOST every democratic paper in the
state rejoices over the defeat of the dem
ocratic party of Milwaukee. The Osh-
kosh Times suggests very properly to
the leaders that Milwaukee contains other
people than the keepers of dance halls
and low dives. 1t was the support of
these disreputable classes that the democ-
racy sought and received. But it alien
lated the support of the respectable class
es. The only cause for regret is that the
decent classes did not have the right man
to vote for SO that reform and rebuke
could go together.

IT is said that James Stephens the
whilom Fenian Head Center is about to
organize an Irish National Organization
opposed to Parnell's methods, but not
going to the extent of making dynamite
an instrument of warfare. Stephens had
abundant opportunity at one time and he
or others must have had an abundance
of money, and failed TO do anything
more than to bring discredit on the Irish
people. Parnell has done much to bet
ter the condition of the Irish people and
has earned the respect of the civilized
world. Stephens had better remain in
obscurity.
