New York Evening Post: Quoting
criticism upon the commissioner OF
pensions, the Milwaukee Sentinel says
You democrats always did hate Cor

couple of his legs off when he was

Quite n Smash-up.

\ team belonging to Nels Thompson
became frightened while standing on
lower Main street on Monday, and
started toward home like a streak of
lightning that had made an appoint
ment and was behind time. They
reached the bridge without doing any
damage, but in attempting to turn,
after crossing, the whole outfit went
into the ditch on the east side of
Gelena street. When the wreck was
cleared up it was round that one horse
had broken leg, the harness was
somewhat dilapidated, and the wagon
badly in need of repairs. Nels had the
injured animal taken home, and hopes
by proper treatment to put it on four
sound legs again.

Peck's sun is signal success as a

An Organ Caught in a Tight Place.


The ! "a Crosse Chronicle has caught
the La Crosse Republican, and Leader
in tight place. The r. and T. has
been publishing as editorial some
cut and dried tariff drivel, sent out
from the East in tariff league period
zeal. The Chronicle shows up the
little game, and the r. and L. is so
mad it almosts pies its type. The
tariff league fellows do stuff the re-
publican editors shamefulIy They i'm
pose upon them, make them father the
most stupid of editorials and do free
advertising for sharp, bloodIess and
avaricious men who gain all the profits.
They have got the average republican
editor in such a state Of mental obfus-
cation that when the tariff league says
the moon is made of green cheese,
the aforesaid obfuscated editor is
ready to swear that he can smell it,

For the year past while employed their
wages were less than a dollar a day,

Whore The Farmer,s Smile is.


Doubtless the farmer is to a great
extent deprived of the benefits of free
competition while not allowed to es-
cape any of its burdens, and his effort
to relieve himself from the latter is
natural under the circumstances, but
impracticabc With his voting power
me could easily recover the benefits
which orerbalance the burden of free
competition in all lines Of trade The
idea that he can reyolutionize trade
with farmers cooperative commission
houses, control the money market by
setting up farmers cooperative banks,
and arbitrarily keep wheat at 81 and
cotton at ~ cents, without reference
to foreign or home demand, is dream
too beautiful to last. If he risks much
of his money in such ventures there is.
as contemporary has said a strong
probability that his experience will
resemble that of the

begin to take them out one by one and string
