cracy of Wisconsin should, if emporium
ity offered, send him to the Q. s. senate.
But he chose to employ other means
than to trust to gratitude for duty well
performed.
General Bragg is blamed for quitting
the state and The Pilot has no excuse to
offer for his 80 doing. But the blame
comes when the purpose is to shift re-
sponsibility for defeat. When democratic
hopes were brightest, before Bouck had
declined and while the labor agitation
promised material assistance, it was de-
cided in advance to ratify by mass
meeting the action of the democratic con-
vention. Postmaster General Villas was to
be the orator of the occasion, but not even
place on the programme was found for
Bragg. 1t was an Intentional silght,
clear intimation that his services were
not wanted and that none of the credit
for the anticipated victory was to be
given him. When the ratification meet
lug WAS dcCloCo upob, DAo66
a nomination to congress were gone and
no chance WAS to be given him for resur-
rection. He left the state; unwisely, for
the people would accord him hearing
though the politicians denied it.
The Pilot hates self seeking as much
as it does injustice. 1t is neither per-
sonal organ of Bragg nor lick Spite OF
Villas. But it thinks a man who has
reached prominence, as Bragg has,
through the force of his genius, should
| not be buried politically In the interests
| of another man of undoubted ability
The democratic party does not belong to
Villas or to Bragg. Indeed SO far as party
service is concerned, there are men ID
| the state who deserve more and have
received less than either. General Bragg
has not yet assumed that he Is the ben
efciary of democratic success, nor has
ne sought to incarnate the democracy OF
the state in his person. 1t is believed
| Villas has.

The Oshkosh Times never fails to at
tack abuses and ii finds so much to do ID
this direction it is strange it should
cling so firmly to its optimistic views.
In commenting upon Gould's remark
that Gresham must be suffering from
severe attack of presidential fever" The
Times states it was an acknowledgment
by Gould that the public officer who
would win popular favor must ''fearlessly
do his duty" even to antagonizing the
monopolists. A better Interpretation
would be that it was hint from Gould
that if Gresham has presidential aspira-
tons they can be best promoted by care
fully cherishing the interests of the mo
nopolists. The people never remember
heir friends. Monopolies always do;
their enemies have likewise place in
their recollection. Who was more fear
less in fighting corporations than Thur
man? But the people have retired him
and in his old age, after years of faithful
service he has nothing to comfort him
but his honesty. What is Van Wyck's
position? How have the people reward
ed Pendleton for his efforts to purify the
civil services
Jay Gould's millions can do more for
Gresham's fever than all the honesty
with which he can clothe himself. That
Gresham did justice without regard to
consequences is the surest sign he has
no eye on the presidency.
1t is true that in the offices nearest to
the people integrity and conscientious
discharge of duties secure continuance
in office But it is because the corpora
tions give no attention to these. They
manage to capture the Legislatures how
ever.
The people! oh yes, the people can
do a'little yelping. But around election
| times they are in the market as we'll as
the officers they pretend to condemn, and
then comes Jay Gould's opportunity.

a CRANK named A. J. Grover read a
paper before 'the Ethical Society" of
Chicago last week attacking the Cathoilc
church in a most yirulent manner. The
Catholic church, he claimed, is cult
waiting the animal side OF human nature. ="
The whole lecture was tissue of rabid
rant and coarse abuse, the mou,hings of
a fool. An ex-priest whose mind God
had ciisnged" added his mod'eum of
abuse of the church and informed the
audience that tie "God of Romauism

fools really do no injury. Their utter
anoes are wholly nndeserving OF Hotice
