The Oshkosh Northwestern offers a
suggestion" Now, there is nothing
in The Northwestern's offer
ing a suggestion" If tie Suggestion"
were acted upon there would be abund-
ant cause for wonderment. The "sug-
gestion" which The Northwestern offers
with eager but graceful courtesy, is to the
effect that if Bragg be nominated for
congress he be buried by the voters of
the Second district irrespective of party.
Who will think of calling The North
western fogyish after the incubation of
such brilliant idea. Why, the ''sugges-
ton" actually secures republican vic
tory in the Second. The Northwestern
is just as sly as joey Bagstock. Here it
has q fine political scheme to change the
politics of democratic district and has
the thing labeled suggestion" No
doubt it got into its little trundle bed
nights thinking of the surprise it had in
store for the democrats after the Novem.
Der election, when it would be at liberty
to speak in palmer terms of the sugges-
ton. It is the Trojan horse of this po-
litical Ulysses, a scheme SO deep that it
makes The Northwestern tower in the
majesty Of generalship. But who would
look for such strategic movements in a
paper enviously characterized as old
womanish? The Northwestern gives add
ed point to the adage that ono one can
tell by the looks of frog how far he can
iumD. "

In the United States there is never an
appeal to the people in case of party
defeat in congress, and it is really too
bad that the constitution did not follow
English precedent in this matter. The
defeat of the Morrison bill would bring
the tariff question before the people
entirely disconnected from other issues
and public speakers would be compelled
to discuss living questions and not dead
war issues. The democratic party fears
to advocate tariff reform openly. The
republican party is quite well committed
to protection but in every election it is
the terrible South which claims attention.
What contrast the pending elections in
Great Britain and Ireland offer to our
political wire pulling.
The face is our system is fatal to states
manship. ITO get in is what our Office
seeker looks to, not what principle of
government his election emphasizes.
The reason of electors is never appealed
to and the real issues are kept in the
background as much as possible. Think
of an American politician resigning his
position to determine clearly whether his
constituents approve OF his course
Such proceeding is unheard of.

RANDA1L's tariff bill is humbug.

RANDALL's tariff bill is humbug. 1t
is worse; il is in the interests of every
whiskey manufacturer and tobacco grow
er in the land. 1t is saying practically
that that the people of the United States
care more for whiskey and tobacco than
for the necessaries of life. 1t lessons
the tax on imported articles about one
million and half, and lessons the in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco and
whisky twenty six and one half million
dollars. 1t is reasonable to assume that
this is in the interest of the laborer.
He needs whiskey and tobacco, but the
necessaries Of life he must accustom
himself to do without.

DR.. POWELL thinks the people will
not be satisfied with Col. Bouck as a
candidate for governor. He also makes
use of his patent medicine advertising
lingo by stating that the La Crosse con-
vention is the only genuine labor conven-
ton and that the others are all spurious
and limitations. Powell is a shrewd
fanatic, though the fellow actually thinks
he can compass the governorship. In
the event of failure he has the advertising
which the movement" has given him,
though he is so intent upon the other he
does not think of this now.

SENATOR SAWYER sent The Pilot, in
common with other papers, the pamph-
let entitled "Free Trade Folly" written
by man named Porter. The pamphlet
seeks to meet the arguments advanced
by Pref Sumner and is tissue of trans
parent sophistry. If Mr.. Sawyer fancies
that pamphlet will make converts he
must have erroneous IDEAS of the line of
argument pursued. But the whole thing
is of piece with the doctrine of protec
ton. It is all assumption and the most
utter nonsense when analysed.

REPUBLICAN papers are crltlclslng
President Clevelend considerably be-
cause of his veto of pension bills. There
is not paper which does so that does
not fully believe the vatoes are deserved
and proper. But 80 common has 1t
become to use the soldier for political
purposes that the opportunity here pre-
sented to make little political capital
cannot be resisted The only way to
remedy this pretended concern for the
soldier and to take the thing wholly out
of politics is to pass general pension
law, giving pensions to all soldiers.
Then the worthy claims would be recog-
nized. As it is now one-half the pen
sions are steals and many entitled to
pensions fail to get them.

One of the pension bills vetoed by the
President will hardly cause its proposed
beneficiary to explode with anger, unless
the object was to secure double pension.
The Pension Bureau had allowed the
claimants pension and this gave him a
pension from the date of his application.
OF course this is not commented upon
by the papers which are running over
with criticisms on the "President's vetoes
of pension bills" to such an extent that
they are forced to 'leaYe out" paid
advertisements.

II is astonishing how many editors
there are who could manage the presi-
dency so much better than Cleveland
does. 1t is singular how perverse the
people are in not selecting one of these
men to perform duties 50 clearly Pin line
with their self acknowledged powers.
But the people never do recognize merit
and SO we must struggle on with Cleve-
land in the executive chair while talent
is wasted in struggling newspaper offices.
Truly, things are seldom ordered for the
best, and pension claims suffer because
places and men do not harmonic.

The Fitz John Porter bill passed tt

The F'itz John Porter bill passed the
senate last week. So that, finally, justice
is done man who for years has suffered
a wrong. 1t was hoped that Spooner
of this state would have independence
enough to disregard party considerations
on a matter affecting the reputation of a
brave man who was most cruelty wrong
ed. But he seemed to take the politi-
clans view. The fight was made on Por-
ter by Logan who was using it solely for
campaign purposes. He was followed
by lot of snarling ours who pirate on
patriotism without knowing what the
sentiment really is.

IT is safe to assume the republican,

1T is safe to assume the republicans in
congress will assist their faithful ally,
Sam Randall, in reducing the tax on
whiskey and tobacco. The people are
oppressed with the taxes now imposed
Oh these commodities. They are crying
for cheap whiskey and tobacco, not
cheap in the sense of quality, but good
article for a small sum of money. 1t
does not matter that wooden blankets are
taxed 40 per cent, because if poor people
can get plentiful supply of whiskey and
tobacco cheap, there will be no need Of
wooden blankets or other necessaries.

SOME years ago General Bragg and
The Pilot had some difference of opinion
aud the former in writing to the editor
said: whenever you write SO as to win
the praise of political opponents, you
may well question the correctness of your
views" If Bragg could bring this truth
home to Randall, that renegade demo
crat would fad ample food for reflection
as he is now the darling of the republi-
can party, being the recipient of unstint-
ed praise for securing them victory
which their united strength could not
compass. In what respect is Randall a
democrat Is it by virtue of holding a
seat in congress to which lie was elected
by democratic votes, while on party
questions his support is given to the op-
position? He deserves nothing at the
hands of the democracy. Fully as
we'll that the place be filled by one
openly republican. Turn him out.

! POOR fellow out in Jamestown was
"blowing in" what little funds he had
quite freely, and announcing that he was
a cousin of ex-President Rutherford
Hayes. The poor fellow was arrested
as a lunatic, as it was thought his extraV-
agance disproved the relationship, and
that his claiming kinship was OF itself
evidence of unsound mind. But letters
found on his person proved his claims
lust and be was liberated with express
sions OF the greatest sympathy.

would have no choice, and instead of be-

THE Pilot is with the Oshkosh Times
in its opposition to the Hennepin Canal
scheme. If there is to be water COM
munication between the Mississippi and
the great lakes, it should be by way of
the Fox and Wisconsin. But one route
is possible at present,-in fact, il is ques-
tionable whether any one is feasible.
But as between the claims of the Fox
and Wisconsin and the Hennepin canal,
everything is in favor OF the former, not
the least of whish is the amount Of work
already done. To push the Hennepin
canal now is 10 abandon the other. -
Abandon both and there would be no
cause for regret.

The minister who attacked Governor
Rusk for allowing the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers TO hold its annual
reunion in the state capitol, has furnish
the sloppy papers which Landed the Gov
ernor to the skies for quelling an ordi-
nary riot by massing the militia at the
point of disturbance.
The minister by his offensive AFRO
gance has placed all liberal minded peo-
pie in sympathy With the. governor
There was nothing unseemlY in the
gathering of the Engineers. They of
Tended the preiudices of no one. They
met in precisely the same manner in which
the minister congregation assembled and
for fully as good purpose and more
practical in its aim. They were Just
as orderly and with this in their favor
that there was not one among them SO
uncharitable or so unmindful Of pro-
priety as to assail any other assemblage
in the city, as did the minister who claim
ed to be the mouthpiece of God. Gov
ernor Rusk is entitled to praise for Civ
ing the recognition he did to body OF
raen who have made their calling respect
able.
Every year many of these gallant men
show devotion to duty which ministers
might pattern after with profit. When
one reads of the risks these men take tc
save the lives OF persons, total strangers
to them, the feeling is irresistible thai
their lives are far more worthy than al
army of those who drone out moral plat
itudes from the pulpit and uncharitabll
assail those whose lives are devoted t.
more practical virtues, albeit, not 81
pretentious in piety. Governor Rusl
has done himself credit though he ma,
have given clergyman offense.

of the constitutional amendment pro-
