The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1886-02-04
The Washington correspondspt of ]

The Washington correspondent of The
Milwaukee Journal must have gathered
bis information concerning Mr.. Rankin s
''lively animosity" toward Mr.. Hudd
from very unreliable source. Mr.. Rankin
never cherished enmities and certainl 2
did not carry any unkind feelings toward
any one to the grave. He had none
but feelings of friendship for Mr.. Hudd,
and there certainly was no purpose of
hostility toward him in any recommends
ton to Office made by Mr.. Rankin. For
the last year Mr.. Rankin knew his tenure
of life was brief and he gave place to no
feelings but those of good will to all, be,
cause he realized how numerous and sin
cere his friends were and how heartfelt
their sympathy. During tbs many
weary days be was confined to his bed in
this city, no one ever heard him say an
unkind word of Mr.. Hudd or of any one
else. Gratitude toward his friends for
their sympathy and past services and
concern for his family drove every linger
ing trace of bitterness over past political
contests completely from his mind. 1t
is true he did not approve of Mr.. Hudd's
choice for the Green Bay post office; but
it was because he thought the people of
that city preferred Mr.. Robinson. This
was the only difference and there was not
in it particle of animosity toward Mr..
Hudd. Mr.. Rankin was too generous a
man to wrong any one and ,>sst of all
when he felt the grave was opea to re-
ceive him.

CONGRESSMAN GUENTHER has signifed
his intention of Withdrawing from public
life at the close of his present term and
gives as one reason that man in public
life must give his salary away. That if
he has SOC he is expected to give away
45o of it. This begging is growing to be
the curse of the age and it is practice
fostered by the church. Churches are
inveterate beggars. They beg from the
heather and cody inform him he will
suffer everlasting torments. They beg
from the pauper and will do nothing to
relieve his distress, They beg from the
business man and threaten him with dire
disaster to his business if he does not
give. And they beg, bulldoze and per-
secute the Office holder until he feels that
he has been elected solely for the pur-
pose of turning over his salary to church
es. In fact churches seem to be organ
lied for the purpose of reaching the
pockets of the public. There should be
some means devised to afford relief from
this persistent eternal begging. The
book agent is bad enough; but you can
kick him out. The tramp can be put off
with "two bits or if you have dog you
can have the pleasure of seeing the tramp
chewed up. But you cant kick the other
fellows and dogs wont bite them. A
subscription list is worth more than a
farm.

WASHINGTON SPECIAL: Tonight a '

WASHINGTON SPECIAL: Tonight well
known diamond merchant of Cincinnati
arrived here. His mission was to deliver
a diamond necklace to certain high gov
eminent official for his wife. This neck
lace was ordered months ago, and the
markets OF the world have been ransack-
ed to produce the brilliants. There are
forty stones in the necklace, the center
stone being valued at 80, 500, and every
stone is of the same color, the priceless
blue shade, and they are arranged in per
fectly graded size from the center each
way to the buckle. Not stone has
flaw. 1t ID held that in perfection of in
dividual stones, exactness of shade and
size, there is no necklace in the world to
equal it, though many may far exceed it
in money value. IT is understood that
$40, 900 was the first value of the stones.

WHEN 9. II. Schmidt was elected
county judge last spring he no doubt felt
he had scored the greatest political VIC
tory of his life. But in view of present
conditions his election was unfortunate
for him. He would to day be the most
prominent candidate for congress with
the chances decidedly in his favor, Sea-
man being out of the field. It is not the
purpose to indicate that he would be the
choice of The Pilot, but be would be the
choice of the county which is matter of
far more Importance, and Manitowoc
county united on one man would WELD
an influence in the convention which
would bring success. Judge Schmidt is
the most influential man in the county
to-day. What is more, he is bold and
the local leaders fear him. He is brainy
and there is no man in the comfy more
capable of moulding public sentiment
or more quick in detecting its trend. He
has terminated the political career of
many, and is outspoken in his opposition
when he dislikes candidate. He has
made mistakes, for instance when he pre-.
vented Judge Kirwan from being nomi-
mated for county judge, and when he
threw the weight of his influence against
! Mr.. Villas. He bitterly opposed the
present superintendent of schools and
Senator Carey, and almost defeated both,
but he had no apologies to make and
boldly proclaimed he was right in both
cases. The Pilot did not support him
for county Judge and Schmidt who is a
most determined opponent himself, re-
cognized the propriety of the neutral
stand it took and did nothing to provoke
actual hostility.
His election under adverse circumstan
ces showed his strength in the county.
Had that been held in reserve until this
spring It would carry him to congress.
Schmidt did not foresee this; perhaps be
did not fully appreciate his strength. A
seat in congress would be more congen'
ial to him and more in the line of his ex.
perience than his present position and
"hed get there"
1t is not to be understood that The
Pilot is partial to Mr.. Schmidt. If he
were available as candidate it is doubt
full whether it would urge him in advance
of the action of the convention. But
speculation is in order and Mr.. Schmidt's
strength must be conceded. No Other
Iaan in the county has so large follow
ing, no other man in the county could sc
promptly beat down incipient opposition
or command the active support of loca
leaders. The title of "Judge" has inter
posed to defeat or postpone the title Of
Congressman. Holding the best of
fee in the county, he can hardly ask
mors at the hands of his friends at pres
apt

The English ministry resigned last
week and Gladstone has been called to
form cabinet. The defeat of the gov
eminent was on some formal question re-
lsting to the queens speech and was
practically vote of want of confidence.
The Irish members did not vote. Sails.
bury did not want to be defeated on such
a question and preferred to have it come
on the Irish question knowing that he
could appeal to the English people for
support on the issue of preserving the in
tegrity of the Empire. But Gladstone
was too sharp for him and has again
shown his friendship for the Irish peo-
pie.

THg President and the senate are in a
fair way to have such a misunderstanding
as will drive out all the political aesthet-
ecism out OF Cleveland and he must seek
support from his own party. The sen
ate demands his reasons for dispIacing
republican officials so that the contest
which will stir the country relates wholly
to the Office holders. But it will attract
more attention than sensible discussion
of the tariff would, or any other matter
in which the whole people have direct
interest. Nothing stirs people more than
little party fight.

GENERAL SHERMAN is engaged in quite
a controversy with General Fry. The
grim old warrior does not hold his own
and his request that the war department
interfere and discipline Fry for his state
ments, shows that Sherman's long mill
tary service has lost him the power to
brook contradiction. Fry charged that
Sherman had said, 'if General Smith
lived, Grant would have disappeared to
history after Donelson." Sherman dem
led having used the words and now Fry
produces and publishes fac sinaie of a
letter from Sherman In which the very
words quoted occur. The discussion
has been very bitter and personal.

A SUCCESSOR TO NIB. RANKIN.

Not until lapse of time has removed all
indelicacy has The Pilot allow I'D itself to
say aught regarding a successor to Mr..
Rankin. Now that the question is pro-
perry before the people they should give
consideration to these interests having
closest relation to represer .ation in con-
gress. This is lake shore district and
it has interests which demand persistent
and direct attention. 1t subordinates its
concern in general legislation to matters
of more immediate importance and it is
with reference to these an election should
be made. Manitowoc county had rep
resentative in whom it took s just pride,
broad enough to create no prejudice
against the just demands of the section
he represented. But death has cut him
off before the expiration of his term and
the residue of that term properly belongs
to aManitowoc county man. There should
really be no contest for the place. Let
that come later when it would not be out
of place had Mr.. Rankin lived. 1t is not
proper to smirk the memory of the dead
in behalf of any candidate. But it is
only just that what is left of Mr.. Ran
kin's term should go to resident of the
county in which he had lived for many
years. If there be scramble let it come
later when thoughts of the dead will not
obtrude themselves to make the candi-
dates blush at the eagerness of the pur-
suit. Manitowoc county feels that the
balance of the term belongs to her. No
other county can urge claim more in
consonance with reason and propriety.
1t should be allowed without hesitancy
and this concession would preserve the
amicable relations now existing but
which a contest at the convention would
greatly endanger. It is not time for a
heated convention. It is not time for
importuning. The sense of loss is too
acute and prejudice too apt to visit the
! man whose success comes from diligence
in working up sentiment favorable to
his candidacy. At the worst the chances
stand most in favor of Manitowoc man,
so that it is not abandoning much for the
other counties to courteously abstain
from presenting candidate.
