DEMOCRATIC papers are acting unwise-
ly in helping Gov. Hoard to make the
Bennett law an issue in the election
next year. How can they consistently go
before the people asserting that English
need not be taught in class of schools
which are pretty evenly dividing the at
tendances OF school going children? It
is folly to rely on prejudice for success.
Prejudice is always short-lived and even
though we should win on it in 1890 the
nation would bury us in 1892. If the
press is to educate the people let it cease
to pander to their prejudice or raise
issues which cannot stand light of reason.
The people cannot be deceived as to the
real principle involved in the Bennett
law If the democratic state central
committee has power to act 1t should
have printed several copies of the Ben
dett law and distributed among those
democratic editors who are seemingly
anxious to meet Gov. Hoard half way in
making it the fighting ground of the
coming compaign. We cannot succeed,
we ought not to succeed, if we are to be
directed from the highway of principle by
every by-path which promises to be a
short cut" We have had experience
enough with the nostrums of quack poll
ticians to be taught valuable lesson.
But judging from opinions now expressed
by many democratic papers of the state
we are slow to learn. If we antagonize
the principle Of the Bennett law we will
be sorry crowd in 1892 cropping our way
back to the line of procedure from which
we were tempted to stray by the delusive
hope that opposition to the English Ian
guage was a tide which led on to politi-
chi fortune. It would be we'll for those
who want to leap to success to read Bulw-
ers varieties IN English Life" and
profit by the moral in Randall Leslie's
fall.
Just stop, and think of the fabulous
position in which we place ourselves:
The intention of the Bennett law is to
give every child in Wisconsin who at
tends school knowledge of English. By
opposing it we say the child need not
receive an English education. When the
real purport of the law is explained, and
it certainly will be, how can we ask the
support of any parent? How can we ask
the support of any one interested in the
future welfare of the rising generation?
Stop a moment Mr.. Editor, and think of
the position IN which you would place
the democratic party and then act in
your capacity of public educator as COM
mon sense will suggest.

IF public school men would intimate
as broadly that the parochial schools
were displeasing to God, as Father Deck
er does of the public schools what a
storm of denunciation would be raised.
But the goddess crowd manifest charit-
able Discrimination to provoke wrath
which would indicate that somehow the
spirit of Christian charity has descended
to the wrong parties. In the public
schools any foreign language may be
taught. 1t requires no long stretch of
memory to recall the determined opposi-
ton which bill designed TO prevent the
teaching of foreign languages in puplic
schools encountered. But the English
language is excluded from many of the
parochial schools and to all intents aud
purposes from many of the public schools,
and an attempt made to have it taught
is fought as determinedly as though a
knowledge of English were an evil to be
avoided. 1t is indeed high time to ask
what powers the people have.

THE Parneil commission has agreed
upon its report and it will be submitted
in january. 1t will be just such a report
as would naturally be expected from a
commission organized to find Parnell
guilty. There never was another such
complete collapse of any trial and still
the commission does not intend to con-
denim The Times and will not even vim
dictate Parnell but will state simply that
the charges against him have not been
proved. This scandalous decision will
benefit the Irish cause more than would
one based upon the evidence as it shows
the animus of tory government. Parnell
has been triumphantly acquitted by pub
lie opinion and The Times has been
proved guilty of bribery, perjury and
forgery.

ABOUT a year ago few intelligent
democrats met in Milwaukee, made
speeches IN favor of tariff reform, organ
lied an association chose its officers, and
the members went home satisfied that
they had initiated movement that would
scatter the seeds of truth throughout the
state. We believe they chose secretary
whose delegated function was to dissent
nate free trade literature that was to
teach the ignorant and convince the pre-
JUDGED Of the error of their ways. But
whay has been accomplished? We believe
the whole body has gone into Rip Van
WInkle sleep and that it will wake up
along in the fall Of 1892 and wonder why
the democracy did not carry the state.

MANY of the papers of the state deplore
the investigation by the courts, of hazing
in the State University, claiming that the
publicity given will prove injurious to
the institution. A few sporadic cases of
hazing would iniure no college further
than showing that it had among its
students some who were gifted with very
little sense. But there is cause for
alarm at the disregard for truth shown
by the students of the University. 1t is
proper that it should be known that
many students of the university seem to
think there is no moral wrong in false
swearing. 1t may result in giving some
attention to the character of the person
who is admitted to the privileges of the
University.

THE State treasurer has an income of
about $4,000 from the interest of the
stgte funds. His salary amounts to $1,000
per year, so that the Office is worth $780,
900 per year. The Sentinel very justly
comments on the proposition that these
perquisites be returned to the state, that
the state treasurer is held responsible for
the funds. The theory of the law is that
these moneys are always in his keeping.
If he loans them he is responsible for
their loss. There is an indistinct recol-
lection that state treasurer once did
loan funds which were lost through the
insolvency of the borrower. But the
state stood the loss. The proper course
would seem to be to loan the funds on
good security subject to call and let the
state assume the risk and have the bene-

The Oshkosh Times seems to have as
thorough knowledge of the Bennett law
as "a last years birds nest" Its strict
uaes on the democratic papers which are
following the lead of The Milwaukee
Sentinel" no doubt include The Pilot
and Chronicle. Long before the Sentinel
took up the question The Pilot and
Chronicle devoted columns to it. There
is not a person in the state who knows
aught of either papers who will charge
them with disposition to follow the
lead of any one. Would it not be well
for the sapient editor of The Times to
read the Bennett law before PASSING
a verdict on it? If the editorial in The
Times of Sunday last is just basis OF
conjecture, the Bennett law was enacted
too late too meet the needs of The Times
editor or else he is criticising what he has
not read In the former case 1T Is his
misfortune, in the latter his fault. The
Bennett law does not dictate to any
parochial school how sit shall be man.
aged" 1t does not once mention parochial
schools either in terms or by innuendo.
1t simply states that for period OF
twelve weeks in each year children be-
tween the ages of seven and fourteen
shall attend school and that in every
such school reading, writing, arithmetic
and United States History shall be
taught in English. They may be taught
in every language under the sun, but
English must be one of them. And this
is construed as an attack upon the paro-
chial schools! BAH it is nonsense to argue
with papers which will thus falsify, OF,
what is fully as bad, speak in utter ignor-
ance of the subject they discuss.

The Chicago Inter Ocean demands
that Professor Perry's work on political
economy be supplanted in the high
schools of Chicago and President An
drews' substituted. Its objection to
Perry is candidly stated, he is free
trader. Its reason for preferring of An
drews may be inferred; he is a protec-
ZIONIST. By the way are not the works
on political economy which are suggested
as the proper ones for candidates for
state certificates to study advocates of
protection? Is the selection accident or
design?

Thomas G.. Shearman in late issue as
serts that the agricultural class is voting
