The Democrat is pleased to notice
that while a great many republican
newspapers are wildly beating the air
in vain attempts to make the obnox-
ious Bennett law which was passed at
the last session of the Wisconsin legis-
lature appear all right and lovely,
democratic newspapers are not greatly
concerned over the matter 1t is not
worth while for those having so good
cause to plead as tariff reform to
waste precious time on a measure that
smacks strongly of knownothingism,
and must soon become dead issue

SWIFT SPECIFIC co. Atlanta, Ga.

The Richland Rustic tells the fol-
lowing good one: One day recently a
prominent attorney of this city being
DESTROYS of keeping a dairy for the
ensuing year went to one Of our book
stores and purchased one of those use
full articles. In the pocket of the same
he slowed away a number of valuable
notes, some good sized bills, etc When
he came TO make his first entry for the
year go, he found that the book wasn't
equal to his wants, and so fastened
back to the store and exchanged the
same for another, forgetting to remove
the valuableS from the other one \
couple of days later, having occasion
to use some OF the 3" filthy lucre :"
which was stowed away in his diary,
it was quite forcibly brought to his
mind where he had left the same.
Another trip was made to the book
store, the stock of dairy's examined,
and as good luck would have it, the
dairy was found, with its precious con-
tents, all safe. The attorney is now
thanking his stars that the dairy trade
was little slow those days"

Secretary of State Ernest G.. Timme
is reported as being in favor Of com
polling the state treasurer to turn into
the treasury all interest received on
state funds. The Herald, a republican
paper published ut Clear Lake, Polk
county, says:
1--WE had the honor Of interviewing
Secretary of State Hon. Ernst. c.
Timme the other day on the Treasury
Question that is being commented
upon 50 much of late by the press of
Wisconsin. We found Mr. Timme
willing to talk freely upon the ungodly
way in which the public money has
for years been handled, and upon leg
islatiye remedies necessary to suppress
the evil. There is little doubt in the
secretary's mind as to the practice of
state treaSurers depositing the state
funds in banks and then pocketing the
interest aCCruing therefrom, and he
believes that such legislation as would
suppress this practice should be enacted.
The salary of treasurer is 5000 per
annum, an amount equal to that of
governor, and if this is augmented by
the addition of from S25, 900 to $50, 900
more per year, ii is truly time that
something was done to save this vast
sum to the state. 1t is believed that
whenever it can be found that our
state treaSurers since the organization
of the state have loaned state money
and pocketed the interest, that action
can be brought against them in every
case and the money recovered. An
action has already been commenced
in Colorado by the attorney general of
that state to recover all moneys re-
ceiYed by former treaSurers as interest
on state money deposited in banks.
The whole question involved in this
state, there being similarity between
the two, would virtually be decided by
the decision rendered in the courts of
Colorado"

Institutes. Under the guise Of in
structing the farmer in his business a
lot of barnacle politicians 60 about

porting certain men for certain places.
