May 1t Pass.

Senator Kingston has devised a
scheme to proside three additional
democrats with lucrative places un-
der the Peck administration. IL il
a bill authorizing the appointment
of three persons by the Governor,
az tax commission, with salary
of Sl5 per day aad expenses, limit
ing the appropriation for the pur-
pose, however to $4,000. The com
missloners are TO hold office from
April /, 1891 to April /, 1898. It
is made their duty to make diligent
and thorough examination Of the
present system of taxation in Wis
consin and other states with an es-
pecial view to simplifying aud i'm.
proving the tax laws of the state.
They are to prepare and furnish to
the secretary OF state, PRIOR TO Octo-
Der /, 1892, report containing a
complete schedule or synopsis of all
laws which have been passed in the
state bearing upon the subject of
taxation, with brief references to all
decisions of the supreme court relat-
ing to the same; q succinot state
ments of all changes 10 the present
laws which may seem necessary or
advisable, with the reasons therefor.
No one will deny the desirability of
revising our tax laws, and if the ex-
penditure of $4,000 results in
practical solution of the veXations
tax question the investment should
be made, and none will stop
TO inquire whether the money ex-
pended goes into democratic or
other partisan pockets. Under
present laws and practice, it is no
torlous that half the wealth of the
states escapes taxation, and the
poorer class of people pay proper
tionately more than the rich.

!Spooner is Their Friend.

The plucky fight Of Senator
Spooner during the winter for the
Elections Bill has wcl for him the
undying affections Of the colored
people. They have passed all sorts
of complimentary resolutions, ten.
dered him various invitations and
sent deputations to call on him and
express their gratitude. The next
honor they propose to confer is a
grand public reception under the
auspices of the John G. Spooner
Republican club, an organization
that came into existence few weeks
ago as a result of the enthusiastic
admiration felt by the oolored folks
for their new champion. The club
comprises good many influential
Negroes and there is both horse
sense and money behind it. There
is no doubt thar these people who
value their rights and prize the
earnest efforts the Wisconsin Sena
tor has steadily put forth for them,
will make their reception to Senator
Spoouey an event to be remembered
should he consent to accept such a
mark of esteem.-La Crosse Repub-

Pure Beer Anyhow.

Although Democrats are indiffer-
ent as TO whether our butter, cheese,
and other foods are adulterated or
not, and propose under Gov. Peck's
advice to abolish the Commission
whose duty it is to protect US from
imposilions Of oleomargarine, ETC.,
they are determined that we shall
have pure beer. For so much the
people should be grateful. If our
beer is all right, it will of course be
great thing, if freely used, in
flushing the public stomach TO carry
off the impurities OF aduterated
foods; see? TO meet this crying
demand for pure beer, and offset the
abolition Of the food and dairy com
mission, Mr.. Konrad has a bill be-
fore the Legislature which provides:
"That the words beer or lager
beer shall be understood 10 be the
fluid or beverage which is made ex-
clusively Of pure barleymalt, hops
and water. Amy beer wherein IL
substituted in whole or in part for
pure barley malt or hops any other
material, such as corn, rice, or any
other substance, shall be known and
designated as adulterated beer.
Brewers Of adulterated beer are to
be required to brand upon every keg
or barrel, directly over the spigot
hole, and to stamp upon every BOTTLE
in large letters the word "Aduter-
ated." Violation Of these require
ments subjects the guilty parties to
fine of from 800 to $500, or of
imprisonment of from thirty days to
six months One.half of the fines
collected for violation of the law is
To go TO the informants."

He Inv sted Four Dollars.

On the grip Of II summer car saws
the ST. Louis Repl5lic. sat an old gem
tleman who looked like Denmau
Thompson in Josh Whitcomb.n The
cable car ran through Squalid dis
trict where women and children
sprawled over the blisteling pavement.
while puny babies waited aud helpless
mothers tried in Il listleSs. iaIf-hope-
less way to quiet their cries. The train
ran by two squares of sweltering
misery and then the old gentleman
showed signs of unmistakable excite
ment, pulled the wrong bell-cord and
rung up "A fare as signal That he
wanted to get off. After the usual ex-
change of compliments in such cases
between the conductor aud the pas
senger he succeeded in alighting aud
as he passed the Man About Town, who
sat in the rear seat of the coach, he
muttered:
by gosh I'll do it; it won't cost
much and will do lots of good.
The Man swung Off into the glaring
heat and watched the old gentleman.
When he reached the women they APP
peared to be pleased at what he sug-
gested, and when the next ear came
along going west he halted it and
loaded everything in sight on board for
a fresh-air trip. The Man followed on
the next train. Arriving at the end of
the road Mr. Cheeryble. or Uncle Josh,
whoever he was, was discovered in
treaty with saloon-keeper for a bucket
Of lemonade.
Not too sweet, you know, but with
lots of ice.
The children and women drank it
eagerly, aud after enjoying not cool
breeze but less torrid one than that
which rose from downtown payements.
Old Benevoleuce put them on car and
sent them home.
How much did all that fun cost?'
Three dollars for car fare and 81
for lemonade. Oh. a fellow can do lots

HIS CHANCES FOR THE NOMINATION
FOR PRESIDENT IN '92.

FOR PRESIDENT IN '92.
The Washington correspondent
Of the Chicago Tribune writes about
Secretary Rusk as follows: On ac-
count of the agitation throughout
the country b. the Farmers Alli-
ance people great attention is di-
rected toward the farmer member
Of the present cabinet, Gen. Rusk.
Gen Rusk is in the neighborhood
Of 60 years of age, but he has the
carriage and active vigor of man
of As. He is very tall and broad
shouldered, with deep, full chest.
His hair is snowy white and falls in
curling name about his large,
rugged featured face. His eyes are
blue and deeply set His complex
ION is well ,nned from exposure to
the weather His nose is large, and
snowy white mustache and beard
descending To mis- breast add to the
striking features of his vigorous
personality.
For nearly forty years he has
been farmer He understands
farm life as practical man who has
followed the pillow. In congress be
was noted for his common sense and
his iron decision of character. In
the army he was superb soldier
To-day he is more in touch perhaps
with the general mass of the people
than any one connected with the ad
ministration. Some of his enemies
have tried to poke fun at him by
ascribiug to him certain forcibIe IN =
grammatical forms Of speech. The
people who have done this were not
aware that they were giving him a
quality of additional strength. 1t
was said in the old times that the
charges Of using bad grammar made
against Gen. John A. Logan did
more to make him popular in the
country than anything else. The
bad grammar is not apparent to any
of Gen. Rusk's friends. He uses
very vigorous expressions, and the
current slang phrases of the day
often come tripping off the end of
his tongue when he is very much in
earnest. But his English is good
and rarely Jacks ygor aud clearness.
There is plainness and bluntness
about him, however, which contrib.
ute greatly to his popularity. He is
simple and direct. He never pre-
tends to be anything more than
what be is. He has no patience
with red tape. Amy one who wishes
to transact business with the agri-
cultural department will find it's
head ready to meet them in the
most direct fashion and ready to
dispose Of business with the least
possible delay.
