The Philadelphia Ledger, and in

LIE l. h1AhOO4JAld hCOSCLJ uhO IL
dependent journal, comments as fol-
lows upon the new proposed tariff
bill: Louisiana sugar planters are
alarmed over the new tariff bill
which, if allowed to go into effect as
to the sugar schedule before next
summer, will greatly depreciate the
value of the Louisiana crop, estima-
ted to be worth S2O,00O,O0O. They
want time to market the crop before
it depreciates in value by act of con-
gress. These and other movements
to delay OF hasten the time for put
ting the new rates of duty into eff
feet, show the difficulty of dealing
with such subject as a change OF
the tariff, which, by the mere act OF
lawmakers at Washington, may
make or break fortunes. Changes
have to be instituted at times, but ii
is always a serious matter to dis
turb market value by legislation
fact which is hardly appreciated by
Representatives who propose to
limit debate on a multitude Of
schedules to two hours"

| which the Democratic platform calls
needless interference with parental
rights and liberty of conscience, and
which it denounces as unwise, uncon-
stitutional, un-Alnerican and un-

that the English language is necessary

mands the repeal of the statute MAX

ing with the attitude assumed by the
Democratic party in the Badger state
on this question. When votes are
to be secured consistency is of no &C

achieved at the polls principles are
willingly surrendered. But can any
party win a victory on such plat

DER HERoLD published an inter.
view with Col. J. III. Knight on the
morning of the meeting of the Demo
cratic State convention, in which the
following passage occurs:
"What do the Democrats in the
Ninth district think respecting the
school question ?" asked The Herold
man.
II believe" replied Col. Knight,
that they are decidedly for the re-
peal of the law. l have been violat-
ing the law myself. l send my little
daughter to a parochial school In
which only German and French-Dot
acord Of English-is taught"
Yet, after this evidence of his loyal
ty to the anti-Bennett law cause, Col.
Knight, with all his magnetism, failed
to get the nomination. His interview
has now no significance except as
showing what a Wisconsin Democrat
ic politician, at this time, thinks will
commend him to favor in his party.

Henry A. Cooper.

We raise the name this week of
Henry A Cooper, of Racine, as the
Republican candidate for congress
from this district, most happy and
satisfactory solution of the contest
at Clinton and result that will be
endorsed by an old-timed Republican
majority in November.
Mr. Cooper will bring to the office
of congressman an experience in the
affairs of state that will greatly re-
dound to the interest of the entire
district His nomination accords
well with the excellent state ticket Sc
lected at Milwaukee and will give
strength and confidence to the Repub-
Iican position. Possessed of high
character and a reputation unsullied
Mr.. Cooper enjoys merIted popular
ity and as speaker he ranks among
the ablest in the state. With such q
candidate the Republicans of the
First district may well enter the con-
test with feeling of confidence as to
a browning victory.

SOMETIMES there is Democrat who
can be real saucy and say terribly
mean things, even about another Dem
ocrat. Charles W. Felker is one OF
those kind of Democrats, and to
prove it, here is what he said at Osh-

waukee Wisconsin, last Thursday,
about the Democratic nominee for
governor, G.. w. Peck:
"The Democratic convention has
nominated a candidate for governor,
but it has not nominated a Demo

ever published in the United States
for pay. When apprehension pet
cred out Peck and Pomeroy enlisted
for pay. A few months ago Peck
joined the Democratic party-for pay.
And he has got his pay. Peck is a
politician without politics, and a
clown without wit. When kid and

A Democratic Paper on the Platform.

John Nagle, in The Manitowoc
Pilot, speaks his sentiments on the
Democratic platform as follows:
The Democratic platform goes to
the full limit of opposition to the
Bennett law. 1t denounces that
measure as un-American, unconstitu-
tional, unnecessary, and an interior
ence with the liberty of conscience and
parental rights. 1t describes it as
weaker than the compulsory law of
1879, which, it commends. If weaker,
is it not less an interference with pa
rental rights than the law which it
supplants? Ordoes the fact that the
law of 1879 does not require instruc-
ton in English make it more distinct
lively American, more in harmony
with the constitution and less sub
versive of parental right than the
Bennett law, which aims to secure to
the child knowledge of the legal Ian
guage of the land? Is it compulsory
education or instruction in English
to which the Democratic party OBJ
jects? If it is compulsory education,
then the law of 1879, being stronger,
on the authority OF this remarkable
platform, is the more tyrannical If
it is instruction in English which is
un-American, unconstitutional and
unnecessary, then the Bennett law is
properly denounced.
Col. Villas is the author of this in
famous document which should bring
the blush OF shame to every Demo
GRAFT. It is needless to add that Col.
Villas is a candidate for the United
States senate. Heis willing to barter
honor, principle and the rights of chill
dren to attain his ambition. To what
depths will not a man sink who seeks
political preferment.
When the platform opposes any di-
vision Of the school fund for sectar-
ian uses it touches upon something
on which there is no division of opin-
ion. And it openly defes truth when
it says the Bennett law denies the
right of trial by jury to those who
violate it's provisions.

A Democratic Opinion.

If the Democratic party in Wiscon-
sin does not capture every German
Lutheran and Catholic vote in the
state, it will not be the fault of ex-
Secretary Villas and the other gentle
men who devised and constructed the
platform adopted by the convention
in Milwaukee. They certainly could
not have bowed lower to the anti
public school faction than they did.
These Jeffersonian solons did rot see
fit to follow the foolish advice of their
Chicago organs and avoid the school
issue altogether, but in jumping from
the frying-pan they appear to have
landed in the fire. Nothing less than
the unconditional repeal of the Ben
nett law, they declare, will satisfy
them. Here is part of the most dem
agogical plank that was ever inserted
in a party platform. Here the anti
Bennett law plank is quoted. The
underlying principle" of the Bennett
law is that a certain amount of En-
glish shall be taught in all the schools,
parochial as well as public. The
News is mistaken if it supposes the
Bennett law requires that English be
taught in parochial schools. 1t in no
way attempts to regulate them, and
merely requires parents and guar
dams to send their children to a school
in which instruction in English forms
part of the curriculum during not less
than twelve weeks in the year.-ED-

WHATEVER the basis of reappor-
tionment for congress under the new
census, New York is certain to lose
her power to decide national elections
and her name as the pivotal state.
The West has so increased it's popu-
Iation that whether the present basis
Of / 81, 900 maintains or be raised to
200, 900, New York can no longer re-
main the pivotal state to decide
whether a Republican or a Democrat
shall occupy the presidential chair.

graduation on the result of the cen
