THE death of Chairman Barnum OF the
National Democratic Committee makes
necessary the selection of a successor.
The democratic protectionists are quite
earnest in their efforts to get one of their
number chosen. This should not be per-
mitted. The democratic party is opposed
10 the principle of protection and the Ran
dali contingent should not be placed in a
position which would virtually give them
authority to speak for the party. The
Randall crowd acted with the republicans
on the most important question dividing
the parties. To make one of them the
spokesman of the party would be dis
graceful surrender to traitorous ele
ment.

TIE spoils system under the present
administration has reached a state of
perfection not dreamed of in the past.
Republican congressman had but little
difficulty in obtaining complete control
of the offices. But some of them have
conceived the idea of increasing their
revenue by means of their influence with
the administration. A Wisconsin con-
gresham has been charging a fee for his
Endorsement. Unfortunately for him,
one of his letters was made public and
after this expose he was shorn of power.
But isn't it pretty state of affairs when
the offices are sold out to the highest
bidders? Where are Harrison's declara-
tons in favor of civil service reform?

THE disposition TO take the sound of

The disposition 10 take the sound OF
a word as a sign of its meaning is quite
common. any number of errors due to
this may be found in hastily written
language. The word "truculent" in
sound would make 'servilty" synonym
and in this sense Prof. Wells of Apple
ton uses it in late communication to
The Milwaukee Journal. The journal
itself uses "wiseacre" in the sense iusti-
fed by the origin of the word but at
variance with its present meaning. Presi-
dent Salisbury of the Whitewater Normal
school coins the word "synopticate" and
never stops to question its parentage
''Emulsify" naturally comes from ''emul-
sion" and there seems to be room for the
word. It is not at all authorized though
used considerably. "Occupable" should
be a participle claiming kindred with
occupy" but it is bastard word. There
is room for few words which If general
~ accepted would check the tendency
TO such offensive compounds as 'come-
at-able' aLi "hang-on-a-tiveness. There
is no justification for the last two men
toned as these ideas may be expressed
by the use of well authorized words,
Wouldn't it be well to return "wiseacre,"
''sophistry" and similar words to their
original meaning and in harmony with
their derivation? |

THE Chicago & Northwestern Railway
Co. seems to give but lite heed to the
wishes of the people of Milwaukee.
There is not a more beautiful street IN
Milwaukee than Wisconsin street. Its
beauty is largely due to the fine view of
OF the lake which may be had from al
most any point of this street. But the
railroad company purposes to cut this
view off by building lot of unsightly car
sheds. This is done in open defiance of
the wishes of the people of Milwaukee
and much to the regret of every one who
enters Milwaukee by the c. & n. W. It
takes away a pleasing feature and is a
piece of vandalism against which the peo-
pie of the entire state should protest.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel offers its con-
gratulations to Senator Spooner for his
escape from the opportunities of Office
seekers. Spooner has placed the ocean
between himself and the greedy crowd
But we were given to understand that
republicans are free from that greed for
office which earned the democracy the
title OF organized appetite?" Why
should Spooner have run away? There
were no democrats harassing him for the
weight of his influence. Besides, the
present administration would observe
the spirit of civil service reform and make
changes only for the good of the service.
Things appear to be awfully mixed.

THE storm Of opposition created by the
Irvine trust shows how precarious the
hold of protection is upon the people when
its real significance is understood. If ii
were possible to have the tariff tax levied
50 that the purchaser could clearly dis
tinguish the tax from the legitimate cost
of the articles purchased, protective
tariff would not last one year. But the
people permit themselves to be wheedled
into the belief that tax on manufactured
goods lessons their cost. One can hard )
conceive of such depth of folly, and still
it is made manifest every day.

THE Chicago Tribune and Inter Ocean
are having a serious squabble over the

are the chief consideration. After all

CLEvELAND's spsech on the occasion
of the centennial anniversary Of constitu-
tional government was the best delivered
on that day, though it received no an
nouncement in advance and was rather
studiously ignored in the editorial COM

The history of the United States furn.
ishes no parallel for comparatively OBJ
scure man worthily attaining the emf

has. In few years when the predju-

OUR legislature would give no consid-
schools, but very considerably increased
the opportunities of these lecherous
scoundrels who prey upon the virtue of
young girls. The business of seduction
| was languishing under the law which
| made it an offense punishable with i'm
prisonment for life, to deprive girl IA
years or younger, of her virtue. The leg
islature extended the despoiler's field of
operations to children II years of age.
The villainous Cinnamon of Milwaukee
have now opportunity to ply their trade
and debauch children without molesta-
ton. Probably the legislature was so
intent upon repeating laws which inter-
fered with RIGHTEOUSNESS that no time
could be given to enacting laws which
would give some vitality to our school
system.
One circumstance connected with the
action of the legislature in repeating
wholesome laws and refusing to enact
necessary ones, which gives promise of
continuance in this line by future leeis-
latures, is the silence of the press in the
presence of such infamy. II the legisla-
ture of 1889 were held up to the detesta-
ton OF the people-and its acts furnish
every conceivable opportunity
Legislatures would hesitate before yield
ing to the voice of the rabble and sub
hitting to the dictation of the vicious.
The people know but little of the acts of
their representatives except az the press
informs them. The legislat re practical
ly announces that children over u years
OF age may be made the victims of lust
full passion; while to secure votes for
some OF It's members who are politically
ambitious, 1t refuses to consider legisla-
ton for common schools which those best
informed on the matter pronounce notonly
meritorious but absolutely necessary. And
the State press with these facts before it
remains UNANIMOUSLY SILENT Oh, the pow
er, the glory, the dignity, the integrity of
the press. Had a member on party
question refused to vote straight" how
the party press would illuminate anathe-
mas and whip the recalcitrant into line
And what a goose gable of mutual con-
CALCULATIONS there would be over the po-
litical grave of the harmless, and per-
haps honest, renegade!
But the legislature can outrage decency
and defy progressive and intelligent SEN
timent because the press does not choose
to be guardians of what is decent or ad-
vocates OF what is progressive and in
telligent. No one heard of Elliot rush
ing up to Madison with his American
blood on fire because of the legislatures
to make the virtue of child
Of twelve years and one day a commod-
ty OF barter. Nor did the titmouse Nc
Elroy interpose any of that cunning in
fence which he exercised
with such telling effect to drive English
put of many of our schools There was
40 political glory to be won in being the
champion OF children; there was no
'dlum to be avoided in tearing down the
barriers which protected them from lust.
Elliot and McElroy have gained politi-
al strength by their obsequiousness to
dictation; they have lost none
IT 1t by acquiescing, and perhaps in the
ase of the latter, by aiding, in deed of
nfamy. The press could correct this if |
would.

If Cardinal Manning would spend a
few months in Manitowoc and cities of
like size he would modify his statement
that the education of the child should
never be taken out of the hands of the
parent. Why is it that parents will per-
NIT their children to run on the streets
day after day while the schools are in
session? Many of the boys of this city
are already confirmed in the habit of loaf
ing and their distended cheeks and SLAYER
ing mouths indicate the constant use OF
tobacco.
