THE Evening Wisconsin In speaking OF
the report that Col. Villas is using the
administration to secure the nomination
to congress OF Joseph Villas of this city,
says the two men are not relatives and
that the Colonel would rather hinder
than aid Mr.. Villas. The men are cousins,
their fathers having been first cousins.
1t is hardly true that the Colonel would
throw any obstacle in the path OF Mr..
Villas. But it is certain that he will not
be asked to assist in securing the ncml-
nation. Joseph Villas has been more
successful man than the Colonel, though
not IN politics, as his work has been IN
wholly different direction. He is the
kind of man who would rather not have
a delegate to support him than owe his
nomination to the Colonel or any other
man in power. If Joseph Villas be the
nominee of the party he will be under
no obligation for it to a man outside the
district. That is exactly the situation.

The death of Roscoe Conkling takes

The death of Roscoe Conkling takes
from the arena of public life man who
absorbed greater share of public atten-
ton than did any other man In the Uni
ted States. Gifted by nature with mag
efficient physique, it was also lavish ID
mental endowments and the princely
hateur of the man in his intercourse with
his equals was also a characteristic of his
moral qualities in reference to anything
OF low standard in the political field.
The world does rot produce many such
men as Conkling; fearless as he was Ill
tellectual lie sought no advancement TO
which his peerless mind, unsolicited, did
not give him a right. His ascendancy
| was due solely to merit and with the
| chiyairous impulse of noble, though
naughty, soul he quit the field of politics
| when patronage became boon and not
| a right. In warfare he spared no oppo-
| nent and his naughty crest never bent IN
acknowledgment of the applause he
earned and which he received as his due
| He took no mean advantage of an oppon-
ent and scarcely deigned to accept q
courtesy; and still he was popular among
| those who felt his weightlest blows.
In one thing Conkling stands pre-emi-
nent: Never did corruption point its
finger at him. Outlawed by his OWL
! party, feared by those whom he had
| fought, ever with mien which challeng'
ed investigation, never a breath OF sus,
| picion has dimmed the reputation Of
Roscoe Conkling for sterling honesty
| His oratory had all the elegance of die.
| ton needed to harmonic with the mag
nifcence of his personal appearance
He was leader by virtue of his strength
and not because of qualities which please
| the rabble. With all his faults, America
offers few men who for their countries
| good could be more safely helG up as
| model than Roscoe Conkling.

The resignation Of Judge Dyer leaves
an important position to be filled by
President Cleveland. Among the names
suggested in connection with the vacancy
there are none which appeal more strong
" on the ground of personal character,
ability as a iurist and integrity as a
judicial officer than that Of Judge n. 5.
ellison. Judge ellison is man of quick
intuitions, painstaking and conscientious
and has ever been above suspicion. Par
TALLY is something unknown to him
while on the bench and his rulings are
always sustained by principles of law.
There are few Judges who have earned
the solid reputation Judge ellison enjoys
and while the people of this circuit would
regret losing him they would feel that
| his promotion was well deserved.
It is understood that Judge ellison
does not desire to be considered candi-
date for the position if there is any law
yer in his circuit who is a candidate OF
who would accept the position without
being a pronounced candidate, if it were
rendered to him. But there is no such
man. Mr.. Seaman's name hiss been men
toned but he would likely decline the
position. He can go to congress wher
| he chooses. All that is needed is an ex
preston of willingness on his part There
is no other person mentioned who has
held or who holds a judicial position who
| ranks Judge ellison in reputation as 6
| Judge; and there is no other man who
could command such hearty and undi
| yided support.

THE property status of the dog had not
been well understood until a Maine
Judge rendered decision which settles
the question. A dog cannot be stolen.
according to this authority, because he
is not an article of food. is not product
of human toll and not included in any
class of stealable property. 1t was al
ways supposed that a good dog is an
article of food in the form of sausage
But it is well to know that a dog can not
be stolen. Reasoning by analogy, a dog
cannot be killed, and this fact explains
the multitude of dogs which may be
found everywhere.

yesterday morning. His sickness had its
origin in the great blizzard which pre-
vailed in New York last March. At that
time he walked from his Office to bis home
when ordinary people found it impos-
sible to cross the street. 1t taxed his
strength severely and laid the foundation
for the disease which ended his life. But
he did not give up work until almost
three weeks after. A pus sac had formed
inside the skull and from TINS his death
resulted.
