ton representing opposing factions
divided the republican vote, thus
letting Jones slip in between them.
Only the republican split was
the salvation Of Jones, at that time
and who can tell what the Bennett
law may do for him this year
provided he secures the nomina-
ton? Of course republicans fear
no catastrophe like democratic
success but as rational beings they
appreciate the uncertainty to which
must shroud the outcome by
reason Of the introduction of the
educational issue in our politics.
In no other state in the Union
probably would such a measure as
a-compulsory school law leopard
izing the success of the party
championing it, but here in
Wisconsin where u per cent of
our population is either foreign
born or born Of foreign parents
there is indeed some little justif-
cation for speculation as to the
result of the experiment. How
ever, the right will prevail, and in
the consciousness of this fact
republicans can we'll afford not to
abate one jot their enthusiasm for
the great and patriotic princi-
pies Of the Bennett law. Nor do
they seem inclined to do so. The
German Catholic Convention is
already bearing fruit in the form
of reaction in favor of the law
which promises to move onward
with increasing strength till the
fact is demonstrated once for all
whether church or state shall rule
in Wisconsin. It was anticipated
that the convention would arouse
a belligerent spirit on the part Of
the friends of the law and it has
done even more than this. The
malicious assaults of Bishop Kat
ger on the Masons, whom he
denounced as free-lovers, the
instigators of the Bennett law, etc.
has had the effect of unifying the
members of this great order in
almost one solid body into favor
of the law, while it has brought
out in active support Of the
measure many PERSONS who have
heretofore manifested no concern
whatever in the important contro-
versy.

A few days ago Gov. Hoard
became weary of observing the
laggard ways of some of the
capitol park workmen and, going
out where they were cutting up a
big tree which they had felled,
seized one end of the cross-cut
saw. For a few moments things
fairly hummed, the workmen stood
all agog while pedestrians stopped
to view the spectacle and applaud.
A reporter who CHANGED to
witness the act, rushed for a
photographer to get Snap shot"
at the governor and thus in
imperlshable shadows hand down
the interesting episode; but before
he could return the log had been
severed and the governor was
vending his way back to his
quarters in the capitol, with his
homely, serious face and gaunt
figure, there was much in the
governors appearance on this
occasion to remind one of
Abraham Lincoln in the role of a
rail splitter.

But w. H. Blyton, of Sparta,

Since Charley Felker has
called Bishop Katzer a liar for his
statement in regard to the Masons
and emphasized his earnestness by
repeating it, it is thought that he
has abandoned all intention of
ever again running for public
office in Wisconsin, when Felker
thus characterized the Bishop he
no doubt antagonized all his
followers.

oClldlOi quay SlnllcS ana says.
"Why l only entertained a few
friends at dinner" when asked what
was done at the meeting of the
Republican National executive
committee which was held at his
home Friday night. and that is all
he will say about the meeting, but
your correspondent has from other
sources, obtained the information
which follows: The meeting was
attended by Messers Quay, Clark
son, Conger, Fessenden, Dudley
and Hobart, and Henderson c.
Payne, of Wisconsin, who was
elected a member of the executive
committee to fill the vacancy made
by the death of Col. Goodloe of
Kentucky, was also present and
took part in the deliberations of
the committee after his elections.
The committee decided to elect two
new members, and Hon. Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, and Hon.
N, B. Scott, of West Virginia,
were chosen. There was a gener-
al and free discussion of the Con-
gressional campaign and the COM
mittee decided to render all the aid
possible to the Congressional
committee; the question of the
enactment of a Federal election
law then came up and a majority
Of the committee proved to be op-
posed to it. Mckinley tariff bill
was also discussed and it was
decided to recommend several
notifications to the Senate Finance
committee. A pension bill also
received some attention, the unan-
imous sentiment being that some
pension Legislation was necessary
at the present session of Congress.
Some of the democrats of Mad
ison, are talking of running Charles
n. Gregory, for the office of
attorneygener particularly as
the republican nominee is pretty
sure to come from this district
also in the person of c. S. Osborn,
of Darlington, but Mr.. Gregory
hopes to see ex-congressman Burr
w. Jones, of Madison named as
the democratic candidate for
governor and will therefore not
permit the use of his own name
in connection with state office, a
use which would under the cir
cumstances only embarass Jones
candidacy. The boom of the latter
seems to be growing and he will
undoubtedly go into the conven-
ton with large backing.
1t would be just his good luck to
be Wisconsins next governor
democrat though he is. Eight
ago when the democratic nomina-
ton for congress went a begging,
the supposedly empty honor was
given to him chiefly because he.
was good natured enough not to
reject it. AS is we'll remembered

Senator Sherman denies that he
has been or is trying to hamper or
delay the Senate Finance Commit
tee in its consideration of the tariff
bill by attempting to make a COM
binatlon with the democrats of the
committee to get a resolution
adopted which would compel the
committee to devote three or four
months to the consideration of the
bill before reporting it. Mr.. Sher-
mans denial was unnecessary as
such rumors have been the prin-
cipal stock in trade of the demo-
cratic opponents of this measure
ever since it was completed.

The Senate Finance Committee
is working hard on the tariff bill,
and SO far it has made no changes
of any importance, not withstand
ing the democratic prophecies that
the bill was to be torn all to pieces
by the committee. The Republi-
can members of the committee
did not take a holiday when
Congress adjourned, but have con-
tlnued to hold daily sessions. 1t
IS believed that the bill will be
reported to the Senate before July.
Political news being rather dull
somebody has Matched up a rumor
that Mr.. Blaine intended to retire
from polit les in order to become
president of the new International
American bank, for the incor-
poration of which the President
last week sent to Congress the out
lines of a bill and the names of
the commissioners on the part of
the United States.

Lakewood, who did the stabbing, has
been held for trial, and the younger
brother was discharged on payment of
80 fine and costs.
Attention is directed to the adver-
tisement of the Stevens addition to
Olympia, which appears in this issue
of the STANDARD. When we state
that these lots are in close proximity
to the business part of the city, that
they have an abundant supply of good
water from living springs, that the soil
is OF the best quality, and that the
prices are low and the terms easy, it
will be readily seen that it is the best
opportunity yet presented for invest
ment within the city limits by those
who desire cheap residence property.
1t will be observed that the proprietor
OF this addition makes the liberal offer
of twenty-five per cent. rebate to pur
chasers who make improvements and
build good houses upon their property
within one year from the time OF pur-
chase. A most commendable feature
of this addition is Chestnut avenue,
100 feet in width, running through
the addition from north to south. 1t

position OF those plating new addi-
tons to economic in land at the ex-
pense of streets.

Olympia:
GENTLEMEN: When the officers you
have appointed to enforce the provi-
sions of important city ordinances to-
tally fail to do their duty, know OF
no better way to right a crying evil
than to call the attention OF your hon
orable body to the facts in the case.
To-day I counted fifteen cows, two
of them with bells, in the immediate
vicinity Of the intersection of Fourth
and Plum. streets. These cows are
continually browsing the ornamental
overhanging foliage of our front yards,
littering the sidewalks with filth and
disputing the right of way with wo-
men and children. The increasing
and now almost constant stream of
vehicle travel along this part of Fourth
street has the tendency to keep the
roadway quite clear of animals run
