The Local Press.

The thousands of local papers
which represent as many thousand
villages, are Of all degrees of good
ness and badness, and their literary
character covers the whole field,
from the white-washed fence and
dog-hght chapters to the best in
the land. There is no better field
for missionary work, and no easier
opportunity for selfdevelopment.
1t is a position easily reached,
comparatively; it commands all the
respect usually that is earned; it
carries with it a personal recogni-
ton and personal responsibility,
and it offers a chance to be as lit
erary as may be desired.
The local press graduates many
into higher literary position, and
is not bad thing in itself, even if
it did not.
With the exception of the few
favored ones of genius, the straight
and narrow way to pleasureable
literary writing is continued prac-
tice; it might almost be said that
eternal practice is the price of lit
erary excellence.
If this, then, be so to most of us
who lack the means to live I'M
attached with our hobby, and
probably the inspirational nerve
to hold us to the stone while being
sharpened, where is there an easier
approach to all the success we can
earn than is vouchsafed to the
faithful workers on the local press?
| cannot agree with the prediction
Of recent contributors that the
coming man will not find the local
newspaper necessary, and that its
departure would not be a bad
thing for the world. The city
newspaper is great and the country
paper small; bat the city daily can
never absorb the local paper any
more than the church choir will
give way to city opera. It would
be bad if it should. The local
newspaper needs much reform, like
its metropolitan superior; but it
occupies position Of defence and
protection, as we'll as local enter
tainment, that makes it as much a
factor Of village life as the pulpit
and the schoolhouse must always

is it right, is it decent, that the
crime should be condoned? 1t
was by consenting to the infamous
system of human slavery that the
people of the North became
sharers in that great crime and
Justly sharers in the penalty.
Because there appeared to be no
remedy, because there was nothing
that could be done in the matter
by the Federal government, the
people Of the North were told that
agitation was worse than useless.
So this crime against nature, the
atrocity of which is now recognized
on every hand, was condoned.
The Northern statesman deprecat-
ed any illusions to the crime; and
yet agitation was necessary to
prepare public sentiment for the
time of action. Silence only
confirmed the South in its view of
the righteousness of slavery.
And SO silence in this great
crime against a republican govern
ment, against principles of equality
in representation, only confirms
the South in its purpose to refuse
political recognition to the blacks.
Whether agitation, whether pro-
test, can ever arouse the Southern
conscience or the Southern desire
for the respect of mankind, may be
a doubtful matter, but at least in
protesting against this crime the
Republicans cease to be partners
with the criminals. And they
make a stand against this light
regard for the first principle of a
republican government, Overlook
condone, this crime in the South
and we must overlook it elsewhere.
And so by easy steps we must
reach indifference to the violation
of the first law on which our
institutions rest. 1t is easier to
ignore this offense than to protest
against it. But it is a sad time
when lips are to remain closed
under such conditions because no
way seems clear to correct them.

Is 1t Useless?

1t is the conclusion of The New
York Evening Post that all this talk
about the suppression of the negro
vote in the South is worse than
useless because nothing can be
done in the matter by the Federal
government and because the
continued agitation keeps the
South solid.
There is no serious question as
to the fact that the vote is
suppressed and that its suppress
sion gives to the Southern Demo
crat the influence, in the country S
legislation, of ten Northern voters,
in some instances. Admit, as we
must, that under present conditions
the evil is without remedy in law,

Well and truly said Mr.. State
Journal: The republicans of Wis
consin are justly proud of Senator
Spooner, and they have good
cause for being SO. He went into
the senate three years ago as one
of the youngest-if not the young
members of that body, and
now stands among its ablest mem
bers, and in the front rank among
its orators. Such position, at
tanned in SO short a time, and
while yet SO young, is a grand one
for Senator Spooner, and gives in
tense satisfaction to the people of
his own state.

Will Make a Good Governor.

The Republicans have several
available candidates for governor of
Wisconsin, but General George c..
Ginty, of Chippewa Falls, seems
TO combine the largest elements of
popularity together with undoubted
qualification. He is built, large
man, mentally as we'll as
physically. General Ginty did a
very graceful thing in carrying
through the legislature, at its last
session, bill to place a statue of
Pierre Marquette in the house
of Representatives. He is an out
spoken advocate of high. license,
as the following extract from the
Evening Wisconsin shows: Then
you think the Republican party
ought to at the State Nominating
convention put a strong high
license plank in its platform"
Most assuredly l do. The question
of restricting the liquor traffic is
an irrepressible conflict that cannot
be put aside by trucking party
leaders or trimming politicians.
1t has come to stay and the issue
must be met, and ought to be met
like all other issues, in an open
manly way Catholic Citizen.

Appleton Daily Post: The Hon.
VIM. Kennedy, of this city, has
been retained to defend the man
West, arrested as the alleged An
tigo bank robber. The prelimi-
nary examination will be held one
week from Thursday. The excite
ment in Amigo is at fever heat
over the affair, nothing in the his
tory Of the town having ever
aroused the people before to such
pitch. The bail was first fixed
at $1,000, but as the penalty for
burgarly is merely for six months
to three years, the bail was to high.
Mr.. Kennedy was instrumental in
reducing the amount to 81, 500,
whereupon the populace nearly
mobbed the district attorney and
the justice who allowed the reduc-
ton. The defendent in the case
will endeavor to prove an alibi.
