this Evarts proposes an ad-
ditiOn that any Chinese person other
than laborer who has or may hereafter
lawfully enter the United States and vino

to re-enter upon evidence satisfactory to
the collector of customs that he or she
had heretofore been In the United States

ElN T..
Hon Eugene Chaiin, chairman of the
prohihtionist state central committee, is
reported in an interview to have unquaI-
iiedIy endorsed the Bennett law and sgni-
fed his intention to work and vote for it,
and also to have declared:
.'lC We can have sustained the principle that the
state regulate what shall be taught in private
schools then the state may determine what they
shall drink"
And at one of Governor Iloard's har-
rangucs on the Bennett law, Mr.. thafn is
reported to have arisen after the governor
had finished, and unqualifedly endorsed
the governors utterauces or the subject
This would Indicate that in the coming
campaign the republican and prohibition
contingents will bc found valicntly fight
ing shoulder to shoulder for the same
'principle, " and rs Mr. Chahn shrewdly
observes, If this principle can be sustained
in this campaign. it may be logically fol
lowed up in succeeding campaigns This
makes it very comfortable for the prohihi-
ZIONIST They have succeeded in dragging
the republicans of Iowa to their support.
They may succeed likewise with the re-
pubIicans of Wisconsin.
But there are some voters, who have
hitherto voted the republican ticket in
Wisconsin who may not fancy the new bed

not say very much, they will he heard

THE RES NETT LAW ~ \N ISSUE.
Some one has written an annauymous
note to proprietor of the DEMoCRAr.
The note is rs follows: Have you seen
Governor Hoard's talk? How is that for
business. Don't you think nor the Ben
nett law will be an is>ue?'
The nEMoCRAr has seen GOV Hoard
talk or talks But he has talked 50
much that the particular talk referred to
by the correspondent may not be dlstiu-
guished accurately In fact, Gov. Hoard
has been 50 prolific and miscellaneous in hi.
utteranCeS on the Bennett law of late that

state, the undignihed illustration of the
dog who chased the rabbit in hole in
the wall would be pat As the old story
goes foolish dog chased rabbit 50 in
dusutously that the rabbit fled into hole
in stone wall Ever after that the silly dog
ran up to this hole in the wall and barked
whenever he passed that way. Ever
since the Milwaukee election Gov. Hoard
would seem to have watched the hole
through Shich Mayor Brown, of Milwau-
kee, dropped on election day, aud every
time his excited imagination sees that
hole he bristles up pand barks.
1t Is probably this barking to which the
correspondent almdes, And this barking
may make the Bennett law an issue and il
may not And it is immaterial whether il
does or not. The DEMOCRAT prefers not
to see it an issue simply because ii amounts
to nothing, and viii not be enforced il
the future by Governor Hoard, any more
than il has been enforced by him in tn,
past. And the democrats do not want thu
public school system dragged into politics
But if the republicans insist on making
it an issue, the democrats will accept the
challenge and the democratic vote will b,
thrown substantially, solidly, against tn,

FEAR HOARD'S OBSTINACY
DIR. Frank Powell and Henry &. Payne Not
Satisfied with the Outlook.

MILWAUKEE, April 2S.-Dr. Frank
Powell, of La Crosse, came to the city
yesterday to consult with Henry G. Payne
about the political situation. The doctor
is at present the motor of the Labor" end
of the re publican machine, while Stitch
runs around with an oi-can and cools hot
boxes wherever it is possible. If things
shape themselves right it is part of the
plan to run Powell for state senator from
the La Crosse district this year. provided
he will see to it that The Republican and
Leader gets its usual deadhead clerkship
in the Legislature, 50 that it can maintain
a correspondent at Madison without ex-
pense to the paper. Rumor has it that
neither Payne or Powell felt especially
hopeful when they separated yesterday
fearing that Gov Hoard's obstiny would
upset everything.

SECRETARY WINDOW AND SILVER

SECRETARY WINDOW AND SILN Err
Secretary Window sees the tendency OF
the silver measure in congress He says
in recent letter: "If they Cthe silver
bullion notes be made redeemabe in law
ful money if demanded, in accordance with
the high rule of honor which this govern
ment has thus far maintained, and by
which il has established credit, the pride
and boast of our people; If the balance
of trade shall turn against Us, or if dis
trust shall arise as to our ability to pay IN
gold, as it surely will under such Il pro-
vision Of law, or if for any other reason we
shaIl be unable to redeem in gold when de
manded, the government will be COM
PEELED to discriminate against silver dol
lars, while gold will at once command Il
premium, and this nation will step Gown
from its present proud position and yake
its place on .he financial basis of China
and India ana South America. 1t is to
save US from this danger that have III.
sisted % strenuously for the provIso to re-
deem IN gold or its equivalent of silver
bullion
Concerning this silver scheme promi-
nent journal SAYS:
when our farmers are struggling
under serious depression Of both farm
and farm products; when many of our
manufacturing industries are hanging on
the verge Of bankruptcy, and when the
masses of the people are suffering from
needless taxes on the ucCessarIcs of life, 1t
is openly proposed to obey the orders of a
small combine of Silver Kings, advance the
price of silver twenty-five per cent. by
arbitrary legislation and make the people
pay the profit 10 the silver spectators
out of the public treasury. Never in the
history of the government has such Il gi-
gantic swinde been proposed by any party;
and when it is considered that the reckless
specuIators must endauger the whole fabric
of our financial system, what possible eX
cuse can be offered to the people for such
suicidal legislation? Thus far the present
majority party in congress has offered the
country only violence, speculation and in
creased taxes on the MASSES rs the fruits Of
party victory Are there no patriotic
party leaders big enough aud brave enough
to halt the party in its mldness?'
