A Peculiar Kind OF Neutrality.

The Democratic State committee
has announced that that party in this
state is neutral on the school law.
The democratic organs are Illustrat-
ing the quality of that neutrality.
Thus the Lacrosse Chronicle after say
ing that it hopes that democrats, as
a party, will not assist In the Republi-
can sche NE to make this law an issue, y
proceeds to occupy nearly column in
attaching the law. 1t says that 1.-The
Republican managers are endeavoring
to arouse religious prejudices to this
law and to provoke attacks on the pub
lie schools by systematic taunts." 1t
saws the law "embodies the distinc-
lively Republican idea" and is an in
vasion of private rights The
claim of necessity for such law is
pronounced absurd The Democratic
party stands against all kinds of pater-
nalism. 1t opposes the whole policy
of Republican paternalism and cen
traliZation.
Now this does not look much like
neutrality. But we must remember
that it is only las party" that the
Democrats propose to be neutral. AS
editors, as individuals, as candidates
and political managers, it is evident
that they are, with some honorable ex-
ceptions, proposing to Go whatever
they can to make it an issue, to mis-
represent it, to create prejudice
against it, and to bid for the votes of
those who are opposed to it, while as
sailing the Republicans as responsible
for its enactment.
As individuals they will make it an
Issue, las party they VIII be collly
Indifferent and neutral. The distinc-
ton is nice one.-Milwauhee Senti-
mel.

A Jus. And Proper LAW.

Waupun Leader: The Bennett
school law is simply an enactment to
benefit every child in the state. The
school tax must be raid, and the law
seeks to compel children of all nation
alities to reap the benefits CT the pub
lie schools. 1t is not a move against
any nationality; it appliec to all. No
person can be an intelligent citizen Of
the state without some knowledge Of
the English language. Very few
foreigners come TO this country and
become citizens without gaining a
knowledge of orr language, and it is
simply nonsense for any child born i'll
this country TO be allowed TO grow to
manhood without being educated to
some ey,nt IN the language Of the
country.

A Move In The Right Direction.

The Douglas County Bar Asso-
citation held a meeting last Monday
evening to take action regarding the
matter OF getting term of the ted
eral court established here. Upon
motion the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved That the Douglas County Bar AsSo
citation heartily favor the establishment OF a fed
eral court at the city Of superior rs contemplated
by the senate bill recently introduced by Scna
tor Spooler; that in the judgment of said asso-
citation there is u necessity for such court and
that our representatives i'll congress be earnestly
requested To favor said bin and do all they can TO
secure its early passage
This is an important matter and
should be looked after now and the
court established by this congress, SO
that if necessary term of the court
can be held next summer, and we are
glad to see that our attorneys have
taken hold Of the matter.

after having beaten Bowdoin on Cayuga
lake, easily defeated the University of
Pennsylvania men at New London, and
beat the three mile record"
The article concludes:
The Cornell eight-oared crew, which has
never met defeat, is ready and anxious to
meet both Yale and Harvard, but cannot
obtain a race. 1t is absurd for these col
leges to look down upon the ''Ithaca farm
crs," as their record is too phenomenal to
be dismissed by ridicule. In endowment
and equipment Cornell is the equal OF
either of these institutions, and in the
number of her students, she is scarcely be-
low them. On the water Cornell has beaten
them both and is anxious to attempt it
again, but with unjustified arrogance the
representatives of these two univer-
stiles haughtily decline to row, be-
cause they cannot devote any time
to minor colleges. This reason may
satisfy Yale and Harvard men, but it does
not satisfy the rest of the world, and, con-
sidering the facts, but one reason can be
assigned for the unwillingness of the oars
men of these colleges to meet Cornell on
the water. and that reason is-Fear. They
are afraid of loss of prestige, and there
fore do not dare cross oars with Cornell.
1t is not likely that the American public
will long be hoodwinked by such puerile
excuses as those heretofore given by these
arrogant institutions of learning.

A Novel Bathing Costume.

The latest device in bathing costumes
comes from the other side, where it was
made for an English woman who has al
ready worn one similar to it during a sea-
son at that Kaleidoscope seaside resort,
Trouville. 1t is made of black satin-the
heavy, glossy quality that comes with linen
back. The bodice is laid over a tight-fit
ting lining of jean, which is enough support
to the figure to enable the wearer to
dispense with the stiff corset which
many bathers consider Indispensable. 1t
is high up about the throat and but
toned securely with cut jet balls. The
satin is gathered back and front, and
the fullness is gagged from the bust line
down to few inches below the waist. W here
full skirt reaching nearly to the knee is
set on with "buttercup shirring," There
are no sleeves. In each armsize is set a
crescent-shaped piece, which laces across
several times at the shoulder and is tied
with black silk cord. Black silk tic hts,
with small satin trunks and shoes of sof,
black felt that are very pointed at the toes
somewhat like the "Shoon'' of the period
or Richard ILL.,, complete this outfit. The
fair owner says that satin holds its OWE
against the onslaught of the soft sea waves
better than any known fabric. It doesn'l
cling too closely, and wetting rather i'm
proves its lustre.

a WRITER in the Chicago America
gives Yale and Harvard good dressing
down for the silly affectation OF some of
their college students, that those insti-
buttons are the Oxford and Cambridge
Of America and therefore cannot meet
on an equality the students of other col
leges in athletic contests. He charges
boldly that the true reason for their
action is that they fear loss of prestige
in tussles with more muscular fellows
fromsother institutions and shows how,
fifteen years ago, Cornell distanced them
ia the intercollegiate regatta and how
the following year not only the Cornell
University crew and the single ecullers
OF the same institution, carried away all
the honors from the New England col
leges. It was after that experience that
Yale and Harvard cut loose from the
intercollegiate association and flocked
81 themselves as "the American Oxford

The more that is learned about the alleged
discovery. by NJ. Verres, or Verescz, OF the
secret of photographing in natural colors
the smaller the actual results seem. In a
letter he himself says: "There is entirely

THE ART OF FAST WALKING.
Some Hints to Those Who Want to Make
Eight Minute Miles.

Some Hints to Those Who Want to Make
Eight Minute Miles.
Persons who have never been trained to
walk fast generally quicken their gait by
bending forward and lengthening the stride,
at the same time bending the knees very
much at each step. 1t is pretty safe to say
that no one can possibly adopt this style
and keep fair walk at faster gait than
keep himself erect, his shoulders back and
chest thrown out. He must take strides 80
quick that they look short. He must. if he
expects to get good stride, work his hips
considerably, overcoming the side
ment by compensatory swing
ing of the arms. The length of stride in
fast walking is astonishing to those who
look at it. A little figuring will make it
clear why this is SO. There are 1,76O yards
in mile, or 1,760 strides 8 feet long. 10
do mile in minutes walker must cover
go yards a minute, or II feet a second.
Nov 22O steps minute-nearly four sec
ond-is pretty quick work, as any one may
discover for himself. Even three steps
second, or $50 to the minute seems quick.
The chances are that your 8-minute man,
steps seem short, is not doing as many as
200 steps to the minute. and consequently
that the stride is at least feet, inches.
With little practice man feet high can
easily maintain 4-foot stride for half a
mile.
| It is true that fast walking is an artificial
gait: but it is also true that practice at fast
walking will quicken a mans unartiticial
gait. One who can do his mile in 1880 in
| racing trim and on the cinder path can
walk in the street at a six-mile gait without
either getting out of breath or becoming red
in the face, and without attracting attention
by any popularity of his gait except its
swiftness. 1t is real gain to any man to
be able to walk a mile in ten or twelve min
utes without over-exertion or fatigue; to be
able to walk five or six miles for every four
he used to walk without any more conscious
effort, and with sense of enjoyment in
the mere exercise that he never had before.

nary distances stand: One mile, 6 minutes

THE trustworthy correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter Ocean writes to that stall
wart republican newspaper that a prom
inent republican senator said to him: II
do not at present, for manifest reasons,
desire to be quoted, but can state toyou
for publication in your paper that there
will be no federal election law passed at

That is undoubtedly the programme
The party leaders are afraid of reac-

A CURIOUS ERROR,
How q Missouri Man Secured Mail Con

How Missouri Man Secured q Mail Con-
tract at 81 Year.
The outcry raised by 80 many dema-
gogues against the enforcement of an edu-
cational test of fitness for admission to the
public service received most interesting
side-l1ght from the case of Moses Fender
grass, of Libertyville, Mo-, for whose re-
lief bill is now pending in the senate.
Pendergrass desired, in 1887, to become a
bidder for contract for carrying the mails
from Knob Lick to Coffman, Mo-, a distance
of fifteen miles and back, three times
week, and over six miles of the route six
times a week. His inability to read and
write caused him to take the blank pro-
posal to one Rudy, the postmaster at Knob
Lick, and a justice of the peace, who filled
it out for him and prepared and witnessed
friends Of PendereSasa obliged thempeiyes
in the sum of 81, 400 to see that their prin-
cipal lived up to his contract. Pendergrass
wanted to make his bid $500 a year, but
the Justice, who appears to have had but an
education ,a himself wrote in the
Pendergrass nor either of his bondsmen
discovered the error, and when the twenty
four bids were opened they were found to
range from 1868 to "a. The next lowest to
Pendergrass was a bid of $317.
| Everything being satisfactory, the de-
partment asked no questions, but accepted
Pendergrass' bid of 81, and it was not till
the first quarterly settlement was made and
he received a warrant for SLAB for his con-
tract service and some extra duty put upon
him, that he became alarmed ana gotNready
to write a protest to the department. in his
behalf. The papers were overhauled and
the blunder discovered. Pendergrass noti-
fed the department. that he should with
draw from the service, and his contract was
declared forfeited. OF course this left not
only himself-his investment in the neces-
sary outfit being considerable-but his
bondsmen also in a very awkward situation.
To save all parties as much as possible,
Pendergrass had continued his daily trips
after the discovery of the error till a new
contractor could be found to take his place,
an interval which stretched his whole SER
vice to nearly years duration. He is now
in search of relief. In order that the gov
eminent shall be secure against loss, it is
proposed to pay him what would have been
the balance due if he had taken it at the
rate offered by the next lowest bidder
