That Ohnoxious Clause.

The Evening Wisconsin of the 18th
contains the following editorial:
Republican cancus Of the Legislature wisely
voted, yesterday, to strike from the pending sa-
loon-license bill the obnoxious "free-holder''
clause lately criticised in these columns. which,
had IL been retained aud enforced, would have
amounted to a virtual prohibition Of the liquor
traffic.
That would have been too bad. Any
thing that would amount to s.virtual
prohibition of the liquor traffic. would
of course be obnoxious. The Wiscon-
sin has in the past published an occa-
sional temperance editorial, but seems
now to be inclined to make unto itself
friends of the mammon of unrighteous-
ness" The aforesaid s.mammon', seems
TO be able to run the Legislature. and it
is not strange that they can control a
paper that has never been noted for
taking very high moral stand on any
question. We are sorry that it was a
Republican caucus, and do not be-
lieve that they wisely struck out the
clause that was intended TO give the
honest taxpayer a chance for his life.
The clause may have been obnoxious to
the saloon men, to bar-room loafers and
the hoodlum element, 20 the brewers
and the whisky-rings OF Milwaukee and
to the Evening Wisconsin. but not TO

The Horrible Kaxoo.

chased one. His father is highly re-

Wednesday he came here perfect

home, wrecked the family fireside cir

should have to send for the police am
bulance. From a neighbor / learned
that the boy had done it all. He went
out into the yard first and practiced.
In few minutes the watchdog. which
the neighbor said had a voice of won
cerful power and e lefty at night
was dead. He split his throat in vain
endeavor to equal the notes of the ka-
zoo. As the boy kept on practicino
and struck new discords, the boards
which composed the back fence began
t warp. and finally curled up in agony
while the heads of the ten-penny nails
ached. The boy, after getting well up
in running the scales, entered the
house. and the minds of the family
we've wrecked. The man has sued for
damages, and says if he is expelled
from church it viii be my fault.--Nesc-
