CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Jan. %
After number of postponements the
case of the State of Wisconsin against
Sever Serley, the defaulting county
treasurer. came up for a preliminary
hearing in the municipal court at l
o'clock to-day. Immediately after call
ing court District Attorney Bowe moved
that the prisoner be discharged on the
old warrant which was sworn out by the
chairman of the county board, White
more. The motion was granted,and be-
fore Serley had time to realize that he
was once more free man he was re-
arrested, this time on warrant procured
by Robert Patten, the present county
treasurer, in which the amount of the
shortage is altered to be considerably
in excess of $4,000. To this, as to the
former charge, Serley pleaded not
guilty. The Defendants counsel stated
they were ready for trial, and the pre-
liminary examination was at once be-
gun. The states interest was REPRE-
scented by District Attorney William
Bowe. while w. f. Baily, of Eau Claire,
and Gen. Richardson, of this city, have
charge of the defense. the entire at
ternoon was consumed in taking the teS-
timony of the members of the iuvestl-
eating committee and the expert ac-
countants, all of which agree that Serley
has defrauded Chippewa county in the
sum of $20,237. The court then adj
journed until o'clock tomorrow. 1t is
more than likely that the defense will
waive examination and ask to be bound
over to the May term of the circuit
court.

POLITICAL HISTORY.

The object lesson furnished by philos-
Ophy in history may have something to
do with the event of the party that is
carrying the load that killed the Wing
party. The distinctive policy of the
Wing party was protection, but not of
the MCKINLEY altitude. When it came
in with the success under the other
HARRISON, in the flush of its victory it
adopted the protective tariff of 1912. II
was short-iiyed infant, as four years
later it gave way to the Democratic
tariff of 1916. This was revenue meas
ure, and so satisfactory that in 1857 the
Republicans aided to still further re-
duce the duties. The Wings began to
go into a decline after they had
succeeded in establishing their tariff
policy. and in 1862 Gen. SCOTT
led them to the lanyard. An occas ionaI
specimen of the old lire Wing was kept
standing about here aud there for a
number of years because it could find
no political home. but the party never
appeared on any public stage after 1852.
lthad much of the self-estimation and
tancied monopoly of cerebral matter OF
the Republican party, and the latter has
eXhumed and built Oh to the Wing tariff
fabric. The premonitions are forcibly
pointing to the sequences in 1882 that
came forty years earlier to its predeces
sor in the monOpolistIc pathway. Yet
SO fatal a conclusion is hardly to be de-
sired

MAY AEEECT THE FAIR.

One branch of the Alabama legisla-
ture, perhaps both, has indicated that
the passage of the bill making an APP
the worlds fair will be contingent upon
the action in congress upon the force
bin Should the latter pass, Alabama
will have no state exhibit at Chicago.
The explanation is that the adoption of
that measure VIII have such an effect
upon that state that it would be useless
to eXpend effort TO attract immigration
or capital That is pessimistic eX
IRENE. 1t attaches too much Importance
to the obnoxious measure. Alabama
has vast coal and iron interests that are
being developed, and its agricultural
resources have not been exhausted. by
any means. There is a suspicion of
petulance and inconsiderate Judgment
in the view it seems to take. Posi-
bly, 1t can afford not to go to
Chicago. but that would be unWise in
the extreme. Life will still be worth
living down there, even under the re-
gime it is expected 10 inaugurate with
this vilainous election bill. The griev-
ance would be with the Republican
party. and not the fair or Chicago.
Still, other Southern states would be
likely to follow an example set by Ala
bama. Ii the great object of the force
bill is to make Mr.. HARRISON president
for a second term. it is possible that
some Republicans may prefer the sue
cess of the fair, even to the continuance
of a HARRISON in the white house. 1t
the Alabama attitude were simply po-
litical menace. it should be Ineffective;
but it is understood to be viewed as
business eXpediency. The friends of
the fair can easily see in this Southern
aspect additional incentive to oppose
the bill now clogging the senate.

Uncle Jerry's Mistake.

Uncle Jerry Rusk's best friends are
bitterly regretting that, twelve months
ago, he did not resign from the cabinet
and issue an address to the country de-
claring that his agricultural fellow citi-
zens must no longer be imposed upon,
and that the tariff must be reformed
Had Uncle Jerry Rusk done this, the
Mckinley bill might never have been
passed, and Uncle Jerry could have
stepped into the White House, to stay
for eight years. AS matters now stand,
the American people will never read in
their great newspapers the glorious

Recently there has been tendency to
reduce immigration. especially from
the more vigorous stocks OF the old
world. inducements rather than OBJ
structions are desirable TO put out. The
bill aims to effect rather more stringent
and discriminative enforcement OF eX-
listing requirements than to add materI-
ally to them. The excluded classes are
idiots, insane persons, pauperS ana
those liable to come upon the public for
support, those who have contagious dis
eases. polygamiSts, those convicted of
crimes involving moral turpitude. Thls
is so phrased as not to cover political Of
Tenders. Persons who are assisted TO
emigrate or have their transportation
paid must show that they are not OF the
inhibited classes. This is designed to
cut off the shipment of the inmates OF
poorhouses. The provisions in regard
to contract labor are not much changed
from those OF the present law. Exemp-
lions are made in favor OF ministers and
persons in recognized professions. 1t
will be remembered that sach con-
Struction has been given the act as
to shut out preachers, educators, musI-
clans. and even ballet people. Persons
who come in answer to American adj
vertisementS in foreign newspapers are
to be construed as under contract, which
is q somewhat extreme construction.
This might be disadvantage in the es-
adjustment of new skilled industries
for which none in this country have the
training. This is said to be pretty
nearly the fact in certain metallurgic
phases, such as the production of the
block plate for tin. But the contract
provisions are believed to operate bene-
fieially in the main. The need OF re-
straintS upon the dumping OF pauper
and vicious material into this country is
indicated in the fact that Austria alone
sent $4,000 of this stock over in fourteen
months, and that the statistics are as
serted to show that the ratio OF insane
and criminals is twice as great among
the immigrants as the natives, and
the pauper ratio is still larger in that
direction. This is no diSparagement to
the mass of immigrants. 1t is even OF
more interest to them than the natives
that the moral and physical debris OF
the old lands shall not be made their
associates in the new home. The eff
cient enforcement of the provisions of
this measure if enacted, will discourage
European authorities from continuing
this sort of shipment. Then the ship
managers will be cautious, as they will
have the interdicted parties to return at
their own expense. The bill does not
impose the embargo desired by bigotry
and selfshness, but provides reasonable
protection.

BANK TAXES.
Important Decision in Iowa by
Judge Burton.


Judge Burton.
OTTUMwA. To-, Jan. 23.-The famous
case of the First National Bank of Abba
versus The City Council of Abba, acting
as all equalization board, which has
been watched with keen interest by
Iowa bankers, has been decided against
the plaintiffs by Judge Burton, of the
Second judicial district. The claim of
the plaintiffs was that of their capt.
tai stock Sl3.500 had been invested
in real estate and the bank build
ing, and should have been deducted
from the whole amount so that a double
tax could not be levied. Instead, not
quite half that sum had been deducted
by the defendants and the bank OWL
ers consequently alleged that they were
compelled to pay double tax on $1,000.
The Judge held that the word credits
refers only to notes, accounts and other
obligations upon which money is to be
paid and does not mean stock in cor
poratiom. Several of the plaintiffs. it is
alleged. had deducted their individual
debts from the value of their bank
stock when returning their property to
the assessor.
