The Ex- TreaSureES VIII not Adj
init that They Have Acted
Illegally.

When the Democratic leaders
started the howl that money had
been stolen from the state treasury
by number of ex-state treasurers,
in the form of interest on state de.
posits, they supplemented their
policy by passing law permitting
the ex-treasurers 10 settle with the
state, but the time Of settlement
was to expire on the 5th of Septem-
Der. Five eX-treasurers aud their
bondsmen have been sued by the
attorney general Kuehn, Demo
crat; Baetz, Guenther, McFetridge
and Harshaw, Republicans but
not one Of them has offered to set
tie, showing that they all believe
that they have not acted illegally in
retaining the interest on the state
deposits, inasmuch as during their
incumbency they and their bonds
men We're personally responsible
for every dollar Of the state funds
So far not one has made an admis-
sion of guilt, and thus the c)gnoyit
Of their alleged crime, which vas
expected by the Governor and his
associates at Madison, was not filed.
The result is an immense disap-
! polutment To the small-beer poljti
clans who control the Democratic
party of Wisconsin. If the Demo
cratic leaders had any brains they
would carry one of the cases up TO
the supreme court aud after that
body had decided that one Of the
eXtreasurers had acted illegally the
others would come up and settle.
But the spoismen at Madison want
to give fat fees to Democratic
lawyers, and so they have com
meuced five distinct suits. Bashford,
the law partner Of O'Conuor, may
make a small fortune ont of the re.
form policy instituted by the Demo
cratic administration, which is to
till the pockets of their favorite
lawyers with money from the state
treasury.
The truth is there was never so
bastard reform administration in
power in Wisconsin. At the election
in 1892 they will be kicked out OF
Office and overwhelmed with such a
Niagara of popular indignation that
it will be many years before they
again will have a chance to play
such fantastic tricks before high
heaven as make the angels weep
Evening Wisconsin.

of Black River Falls are said to be
vergiug on state of starvation.
The blueberry crop in the section
whore they live was almost com
plete failure, thus depriyiug them
of large source of revenue. The
hunting has about played out, and
the money they received at their
last payment has long since van
ished.
