The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1891-01-01

The coming legislature will be known
in history as the one deprived of preroga-
tive. All its acts have been determined
in advance without members being con-
suited. 1t is announced that laws will
be repealed, but the announcement comes
not from any expression OF members-elect.
1t is known to a certainty who will lie
chosen Z. S. Senator and still no canvass
has been made to determine the choice OF
those whose constitutional duty it is to
elect a senator.
Git is now announced that George Perth
of Milwaukee is to be chief clerk of the
assembly. There are no "ifs" or butts
about it. Mr.. Forth has been offered the
place and he has reluctantly agreed to
accept. Very few of the democratic
members knew until it was announced
exclusively by The Journal" that George
Perth was to be the chief clerk of the
assembly. They have no choice in the
selection Notwithstanding that the con-
stitution states specifically that the cleo
tive officers of the legislature shall be a
speaker, chief clerk and sergeant-at-arms,
to be elected by each house.
Those who drafted the constitution
seemed to realize that legislatures might
spring into being which would be SO I'M
mindful of their privileges rs to delegate
their powers to bosses, and sought to
prevent total subserviency on the part OF
the law making branch OF the state by
Incorporating the provision that these
three officers be elected by each house.
But it seems the legislature of 1891 is
willing to retain the form while sure n.
dering the substance.
There is no better man in the state
for the position offered him in advance OF
the action of the legislature, than George
W. Forth, and there can be no question
that he accepts at a personal sacrifice.
But in choosing him the democratic as
semblymen of the state should not have
been ignored. Their function seems to
be to approve what has already been de-
termined upon. A little reputation OF
dictation would give some dignity to the
coming legislature.

THERE is a movement afoot in Mil
waukee to pension teachers of the pub
lie schools after certain number of
years service. The movement is wise
and Just one. The person who teaches
20 years Is very apt to be unfit for any
thing else. There is no other work which
is more exciting and no other which
promises less in the way of placing those
engaged in it beyond the need of labor.
1t would be singular if the city which
began the crusade against public school
teachers should be first to enact simple
measure of justice to those grown old in
the profession.

THE second adventists of Ohio are in
session at Findlay in that state and have
predicted the coming of the Messiah in
1891. If it was an act of such wicked

nouncement of the second adventests be
permitted without interference by the
L. S. troops? Then it is learned that
the negroes of Kansas are engaged in a

fesses to be the forerunner of Messiah is

THERE Is trouble ahead in the sections
where the water reserve lands are located
and which have lately been opened to
entry. Squatters have taken possession
of all the valuable lands and when those
who filed claims presented themselves to
take possession they found their claims
occupied. In many cases there are
number OF squatters on lands which are
particularly valuable and there is con-
tention anon 6 the squatters as we'll as
with those who took legal steps to pro-
cure title. They are all busy making
improvements and holding down their
claims. The courts will no doubt be
kept busy settling these disputes and
In many in instances the disputes will be
settled without recourse TO law.
1t is said that many of the squatters
are acting for the pine barons IN secur-
ing possession of the valuable lands.
Some employees of these men were sent
out, not TO squat on lands but to witness
the act for others. There is also many
complaints of fayoritism in the manner
in which the officials at Wausau acted
toward the men in line Very likely
many of the complaints are groundless

ANOTHER Indian massacre has taken
place in South Dakota. That is, the In
dams were massacred. A band of 80
Indians were overtaken at Wounded
Knee Creek on Monday of this week.
The Indians were ordered to come for
ward, which they did. The tents were
then searched for their guns. Later the
Indians surrounded by 500 troops began
to move on. Directly after the Indians
began firing on the troops and the SOL
ders annihilated the whole band, men,
women and children. 1t may well be
doubted that the Indians began the
fight. They knew the folly, half starved
and poorly armed as they were of fight

Is no one left to tell the Indians story.
