The kewaunee Enterprise of last week
mentioned the candidacy of L. j. Nash
Esq. of this city for the position of cir
cult judge OF the Fourth Judicial Circuit.
For some weeks it has been understood
in this city that Mr.. Nash was contem-
plating an announcement of this kind.
The OILY consideration which caused him
to defer action was his regard for Judge
ellison whose friends in this county are
numerous and devoted. 1t is particular
ly trying to those who esteem both men
for their manly worth and acknowledged
ability, to say aught in favor of one which
might imply preference and thus by COM
parison unintentionally disparage the
merits of the other. Both men stand ex-
ceptionally well among the people of this
county; either would receive a cordial
support such az is not ordinarily given
to candidate. Mr.. Nash has practiced
for years in this county and has earned
a reputation for ability and loyalty to
the ethics of the profession which has
aided in giving standing to the Manito-
voc bar throughout the state. Judge
ellison has been an id cal Judge, true to
his convictions, earnest in behalf of JUS
tice and winning honor by his devotion
to duty, unyielding adherence to his
sense of right and ell-balanced judg-
ment

GERMANH has finally removed the en-
barge on American pork md the people
of this county interested in pork are de-
lighted. The increased market thus af-
forded will no doubt make pork raising
more profitable. Secretary Rusk is en-
titled to some credit in this matter. The
more careful inspection of pork removed
the fear the Germans had that diseased
pork would be sent them. The success
of the agricultural department in this
matter proves the wisdom of its creation
and its benefits to the agricultural classes.
While the negotiations preceding, and
which led to the removal of the restric-
tions on the importation of American
pork were international, and hence con-
Quoted by the state department, still
their successful outcome Is due to the
agricultural department. and possibly
to Germany's need, as it is well known
she must procure a large share of her
food-stuffs from outside 1t must not be
understood that the United States has
any advantage over any other country
in dealing with Germany. 1t is simply
placed on an equality with other coun-
tries which may trade with Germany.
Heretofore American pork was discrimi-
mated ageinst.

The city council had wrestling match
at its meeting on Monday last with the
license question, parties wishing to have
their license transferred to the Fair
grounds this week being responsible for
the trouble. The conLcil finally agreed
to permit all who chose to transfer, to do
so this week.
There will be dissatisfaction expressed
with the action of the board in this mat
ter but the board is in no sense to blame.
There are so many interests all DESTROYS
of securing some little advantage that
if the board departs one title from the
letter of the law applications innumer-
able for some exemption or favor are pre-
sented, backed infiuentially and agrees
lively pointing to precedent. On recent
occasion the mayor opposed measure
which at heart he favored, simply on the
ground of its illegality and that 1t would
be used as a precedent for asking other
favors devoid of merit. But public senti-
ment was against him. There is just one
thing for the council to 90 and that it
Will do soon: that is refuse to grant any
thing that is not strictly within the law.
Then the law and not the council will be
responsible for refusal to grant what the
law prohibits. Every law abiding citi-
zen shonld support the board in this
stand.

LAST Saturday was the last day al
lowed state treasurers against whom pro-
ceedirgs were begun for interest on the
state funds, to settle with the state. Their
failure to manifest any disposition to
take advantage of the law naturally
raises the doubt that it originated with
them. The proceeding is assuming some
thing of farclcal feature. A law is en-
acted with mysterious Accomplishments
and a sort of whispered admonition to
watch for coming events, and all ii
amounts To is the swelling of the folios
OF the published laws. 1t was born in
mystery and it dies in ridicule. The
great expectations it gave rise to were
not paralleled by those ot Little Pip"
But 1t has not been productive of
single result. 1t was nothing but stage
thunder and lightning. In the mean
time every person, almost, is sued,-dead
men and live bankrupts, million
aires and middlemen. All this work could
be saved by making one test case and
pushing 1t to a final adjudication. The
prospector who assays rock does not
wait until he has dug out the whole for
nation TO determine whether he has ''pav
dirt" He has a sample tested and is
guided IN his future action by what it
shows. The attorney general is not, if
report speaks truly of him, tenderfoot
ia legal matters. Why does he not act
as his good sense suggests?
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1891-09-10

GEORGE RAYMER of Madison has begun
proceedings to restrain. Supt. Wells from
drawing from the state treasury any sum
other than the amount of his salary. The
salary is $1,000 per year, but Mr.. Wells Is
drawing at the rate OF $3.50 per year.
He is allowed $1,000 per year for clerk
hire which he appropriates to his own
use, and is allowed $500 per year for
travelling expenses all of which he draws
without reference to the amount actually
expended in visiting schools. Raymer
shows that W. d. Parker who was inspec-
tor OF high schools drew only S691.75 from
the state treasury during the last fiscal
year for travelling expenses, though he
visited all the high schools of the state
during the year.
What gives the action of Raymer point
is the complaint on Wells part that the
professors in the State University are
overpaid, and his plea for the practice
of the most rlgid economy by others who
are paid by the state. The Pilot some
weeks ago called attention to Mr.. Wells
inconsistency in this ma ter and lnstanced
as an example worthy his imitation, the
case of county superintendents, whose
salaries are ridiculously low, refusing to
draw from the county treasury the sum
allowed them for stationary and postage
when that sum exceeded the actual out
lay.
There can be no doubt that the salary
of state superintendent as limited by the
constitution is absurdly small, although
it is not much less than Mr.. Wells re-
ceived as teacher of ward school before
his election. He knew what the salary
was when he became a candidate for the
office; with his exalted ideas of official
probity he should not have accepted a
position in which he would find it neces.
sary to resort to dishonesty to receive full
compensation for the value he places on
his services. Having yielded to tempta-
ton he should not have assumed the Il
am holier than thou" attitude and pass
Judgment on other people whose offense
is less than his. There is kind of poetic
justice in making people practice what
they preach, particularly when their
preaching is ostentatious, obtrusive and
with malicious intent.
Mr.. Wells statement that he will re,
turn to the state treasury the amount he
has overdrawn if his predecessors do like
| wise, is a petulant admission of conscious
irregularity on his part. John Hummer
did not wait for his predecessors to cover
into the treasury the interest on public
funds before he proceeded to do so. Il
shall not be honest until other people
are is not good ethics and hardly justi-
| ties the person giving 1t expression in
shying stones at other sinners.
