THE Democrats are as eager to fill
the Office of dairy and food commits
sioner as if nothing had been said by
them on the stump last fall about
their determination to abolish the
Office. Regarding the appointment OF
a successor to Thorn, the Madison
correspondent of The Sentinel says:
There are signs that the scramble
for Dairy and Food Commissioner
Thom's position will be timely, in
spite of the chances of the Democrat
ic legislature abolishing the office. T.
J. Fleming, of Watertown, has been
themes promising candidate for the
position; but a rumor has reached
thecapital that O. S. Cornish, of Fort
Atkinson, is going to be pushed for
the place by his friends. There is a
goodly number of applicants who
have applied to Governor Peck for
the position, as they have for every
thing else in sight.

celebrate their combine by a move

SO as to give them maiority on joint

The Free Traders Attitude.

The unanimity with which the big
and little free trade papers take the
side of England in the Behring sea dis
pute would be surprising if use had
not made more patriotic Americans
familiar with the free traders habit
of mind Through an unfortunate
popularity Of his mental and moral
constitution the genuine free trader is
afflicted with an intense admiration
for British ways and a correspond
ingly strong dislike to all that savors
of that virile and thorough going
Americanism that pre-eminentfy dis
tingaishes the present administra-
ton. The free trader doesn't DELHI
erately mean to be unpatriotic He
is SO simply because he is built that
way. There is no doubt that, in a
controversy with France or Italy, or
any foreign country with a protective
tariff, he would heartily espouse the
cause of the United States. But in a.
dispute with England, the home of
that system of free trade that he
fondly hopes to see introduced into
the United States some day, the SYM
pathies of the out and out free trader
are all on the other side of the water.
This is one more reason why it is a
great misfortune to be free trader.

On the question of issuing passes
Col. George w. Bird, of Madison, says
TO The-Appleton Crescent:
Passes to public officials should be
prohibited, and statute by way Of
amendment to every railroad charter
enacted requiring railroad companies
to transport such officials over their
lines in this state free upon presenta
ton of their certificates of election.
This would make such free transpor-
tation an emolument of their office
granted by thepeopleinstead of a spe-
cial favor extended by the railroad
companies, and laying the recipients
under constant obligation to the lat
ter. Yours respectfully,
GEORGE w. BIRD.

For a specimen of impiousness COM
mend us to the following extract from
the speech of ex-President Cleveland
at Philadelphia, on the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans:
'sThe devoted political adherent of
Jackson, who after his death became
involved in a dispute as to whether
his hero had gone to Heaven or not,
was prompted by Democratic instinct
when he disposed OF the question by
declaring: I tell you, sir. that if
Andrew Jackson has made up his
mind to 60 to'Heaven you may de-
pend upon it he's there"

Death of the Trust.

That gigantic trust, the American
Harvester company, which organized
a short time ago with a capital of
$50, 100000, has been formally
smashed to bits.
The president, Cyrus III. McCor-
mick, made known the official an
nouncement of the dissolution of the
combine, yesterday, by saying that
after securing the opinion of eminent
counsel from different states, the
American Harvester company had
been confronted with grave legal OBJ
stacles to the contamination of the
enterprise for which it was formed.
These obstacles, according to Mr..
Mccormick, were of such character
that after the most serious and care
full consideration the conclusion was
reached that the whole undertaking
must be abandoned.
For over a week the board of di-
rectors of the trust had held meetings
daily, but all the discussions were of
no use, as it was plainly seen that
Unsuccessful operation of the scheme
meant the violation of the statutes
prohibiting trusts in almost every
state in the Union.
The United States Trust company,
of New York, having declined to float
S15, 100000 worth of bonds of the
concern, a careful legal inquiry into
the status of the trust was at once
instituted and the result was the
abandonment of the gigantic idea.
Each concern which went into the
combine is now left to it's own re
sources. The principal effect will
probably be the reinstallation of the
agents of the different companies who
were discharged last week by the
monopoly on the excuse that as COM
petition was lessened, fewer agents
and statesmen were necessary.
A war will now probably result, as
each firm will begin to cut on prices.
