The assembly passed the bill repeating
the Bennett law. A substitute for the
Bennett law requiring that children be
taught to read and write English and
that this instruction may be given in
private, parochial or public schools was
beaten by party vote. An attempt was
then made to amend the bill to repeal, by
adding section providing that any pa
rent or guardian having legal control of
a child between the ages of ID and I6
who cannot read and write the English
language should provide such child with
instruction in English reading and writ
ing. But even this measure the demo-
Gratis voted solidly against. The word
English" seemed to inspire them with
terror and it was evident they inten led
to vote down everything which contained
the offensive word.
There is no use in making comments.
The election last fall has given people an
idea that any evidence of partiality for
English instruction is fatal to political
advancement or to continuance in Office,
and things will run on that line for some
time.

o BRIEN cabled request to the man
ayers of The Insuppressible, an anti
Parnellite paper, which succeeded Unit
ed Ireland, not to use his name as having
any connection with the paper. This
had the effect of causing the discontinue
ance of the publication. Parnell seems
to be gaining strength steadily, though
the clergy are growing more and more
bitter in their denunciation. 1t need oc
caslon no surprise if OBrien should soon
join the Parnell faction.
1t is quite evident now that Parnell
made mistake, so far as he is personally
concerned, in not retiring from the leader
ship, as he would, except in name, con-
tinue to De leader.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND has issued an or
der prohibiting anything in the line of
lotteries or chance games in raising money
for religious or charitable purposes. The
rule he says will admit of no exception
and Will apply to counties as well as to
towns. What blessing it would be if
there were more archbisnops like Ireland
who looks carefully after the morals of
the people committed to his charge. The
monstrous idea that the end justifies the
means has blunted the moral nature of
many young people. The wheel of for
tune is just as destructive of good prin-
ciples when it defrauds in the church's
interest as when it is used for individual
gain

THE argument frequently used in ia
vor of free coinage that it will make
money plentiful and people will thereby
be able to pay their debts is just so much
nonsense. People don't get money as a
rule unless they earn 1t and then they
should receive for their services money
whose value is equal to what its stamp
indicates. 1t is difficult 10 perceive how
the debtor is benefited by law enabling
owners of silver mines to dispose of their
silver to the general public at a cost %
per cent above It's real value. 1t needs
no argument to show that free coinage
would be an excellent thing for the sill
yer Kings. But the debtor in being COM
PEELED to give one dollars worth of value
in labor or merchantable commodity for
80 cents worth Of silver, whioh will cancel
debt of 81, does not | g letit h mself. 1t
is quite evident that the original owner
of the silver bullion makes nice thing
by the operation.

COUNT SzIRMoY of Austria, chamber
laln OF the emperor and the head of one
OF the roblest houses of Austria. was a
short while ago in New York in search of
his runaway daughter. He was married
in 1871 and the following year daugh-
ter was born to him. He and his wife
separated and he took up with an ad-
ventures. They quarreled and the wo-
man left but took the counts daughter,
then a woman, with her from a convent
IN which the father had placed her. They
came to New York and began life of
shame. The young countess sank TO the
lowest depths and when her father reach
ed New York this month, she absolutely
refused to return home with him or to
abandon her life OF shame.

REFORM thus far is wholly on the line
of abolishing such offices as relate to
agriculture. Why not abolish the COM
mission for examining applicants for adj
mission to the bar? The members of this
commission are pid by the state and their
work is simply designed to protect those
lawyers who are competent, from compe-
tition with those who seek to practice
without having made the necessary prep
aration. The dairy and food commits
sioner protects the honest farmer against
the competition of the man who would
place spurious products on the market
labeled genuine"

HERE is to be moro trouble about the
water reserve lands which we're opened
to homestead entry last December. A
petition signed by 200 men and backed
up by affidavits has been sent to cor
gress, stating that Wausau and Merrill
lumber rings had men in line who were
known to the police, and that these men
were shown many favors, while obstacles
were thrown in the way of many honest
homesteaders. The militia, it is also
charged, were in league with the lumber
rings and made those who were not tools
of the ring take places in the rear of the
line.

The Wisconsin legislature in justice
to itself, should take some means to stiff
fen its vertebra The men elected to that
body should feel that they are endowed
by nature with the capacity to think, and
that when man surrenders the right to
have an opinion of his own he is unfit to
fill any position of trust or responsibility.
II it is thought best to abolish the state
board of charities and reform let it be
done. But let not the other part of the
programme be carried ont and that is to
repeal the law creating the state board
of supervision SO as to terminate the term
of the present members of that body to
the end that others may be appointed
when the law IS re-enacted. If it is nee
essary to increase the membership of
the board and assign to them the duties
o. the state board OF charities and reform,
it can be done without resorting to the
high handed proceeding contemplated.
II it was not for the frenzy OF passion
aroused last fall. the subserviency shown
by the majority in the legislature thus
far, would have made OF that body thing
at which to point the finger of scorn. 1t
is high time the members were arousing
a little of their dormant selfrespect.

The Milwaukee Journal and The Madi-
son Democrat will be repellent molecules
in the democratic body polite when the
question of the official paper will be de-
clded IN favor of the former, as it GER
family will be. These papers were in
such perfect harmony on the Bennett
law that it is really too bad there should
be dlscord over the patronage which a
democratic legislature has to dispense.
Why should not both be satisfied with
the triumph of principle and throw the
bone of contention to The Oshkosh Times
which is aching for a bone of some kind
on which to chew?

robbery. While being the wife of Baker
she could not testify against any person

THE constitution requires that the gov
ernor of Wisconsin shall communicate to
the legislature the reprieves, pardons and
combinations granted by him and the
reasons therefor. Did Gov. Hoard neglect
to do this? IF he did, Gov. Peck has
promptly confessed the sins of his prede-
cessor. The constitution clearly means
muicated to the legislature shall be by
the executive who took original action.
How then comes it that Gov. Peck has
done what the constitution does not en-
power him to do?

GEORGE RAYMER of The Madison Dem
ocrat insists that the state needs no Off
cial paper whatever. Possibly this opin-
ion is strengthened by the fact that The
Milwaukee Journal is to be the official
state paper. He says, and truthfully,
that all general laws are published in
every newspaper in the state and all
local laws in the newspapers of these
counties to which the laws apply. To abol-
ish the official state paper would be a
saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 year,
advocated by the governors message.

a bill to enable the state treasury to de-
post the money belonging to the state,
the interests to go to the state. The
bill Is good one and should become a
law. But if the present law is suff
cient, as the campaign orators so loud
" proclaimed last fall, what need is
there of the introduction of Mr.. Dodge's
bill? Is it not an unnecessary multi
plication of laws, something which was
severely condemned during the ''educa-
tional" campaign of 1890?

PRINCE BADoUIN of Belgium died quite

station and his father would not permit
the marriage. The prince was a very
