He Touched il Tender Spot.

The Darlington Democrat
Our esteemed contemporary, the Min
eral Point Tribune, is much wroth be
cause Mr.. ]. c. Martin, of Willow
Springs, i'll discussing the subject "Why
Boys Leave the Farm" at the Far
mers' Institute, touched upon the tariff
subject. We can only conjecture as to
what grounds Mr.. Martin took in his
discussion, rs the Tribune fails to give
a synopsis Of his paper, although
epitomi2ing at some length each of the
other papers presented. But since Mr.
Martins paper is characterized as q
'rehash of a Democratic speech" we
can easily imagine that in his discuss
ion he held that one of the chief causes
of agricultural depression, and the
consequent discomfort of the farmers,
Is the high protective tariff system
The fact is, in view of the many re
cent utterances of farmer organizations,
which utterances have without ex-
ception been strong in their condem-
nations of high tariff, it would be
impossible TO give a thorough treatise
on Mr.. Martins subject without re-
ferring to the tariff question. Moth
ing can be palmer than the fact that
great depression in any branch of
industry will cause falling off of the
number of persons employed in that
industry. The Tribune itself will
scarcely deny that the high protective
system is detrimental to the agricul-
tural classes since no less parsonage
than j. q. Blaine has admitted it in
his condemnation of the Mckinley
law. Your Uncle Jerry Rusk comes
out still stronger when he declares
that the mckinley law was framed
for the interests of the manufacturers
rather than that of the farmers" So
with such excellent republican condem-
nation, together with denunciations
from farmer organizations all over the
land, we conclude that Mr.. Martin is
not much in error when he says that
high tariff is one of the chief causes of
agricultural depression.

Without Il Rival.
The Madlson nemocrat.

The withdrawal of Gen. Bragg from
the senatorial contest leaves an open
field for Wisconsin's most distinguish
ed democrat, Col. VIM. +. Villas. There
was in truth seemingly no real contest
Gen, Bragg has host of warm friends
and admirers in the state, and it is but
natural that they should wish to honor
the eminent old warrior. Cen. Bragg
has performed noble service for state
and nation, and deserves any distinc-
ton that might be conferred upon
him. But no less eminent and desery-
ing is Col. Villas, the acknowledged
leader of the Wisconsin democracy. a
man in the very front rank at the bar;
of reputation wider than that of any
living citizen of the state,-able and
eloquent, a gentleman and scholars
model for a United States senator. He
stands today without rival for the
senatorship amcog al the splendid
democrats who would do honor to the
high trust. Not one is there who
would steal the chaplet that by common
consent is his. Never in the history of
the commonwealth has there been so
great an honor given so spontaneously;
and pleasant, indeed must be the silent
CONCENTRATIONS of him thus exalted by
his fellow men.

FISCHERS' SINECURF.

The following special dispatch to the
Milwaukee Journal gives one example
of the way in which the state government
has been run for the benefit and behoof
Of the office holders:
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 16.-When
Thomas Kennedy was appointed treas
ury agent, Henry Fischer, the former
incumbent, agreed to come here and
explain things, so that his successor
could take hold Understandings. But
Capt. Fischer did not come Monday, or
Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday,
and he is not here yet
Why?
The fact is that there was nothing
he could tell, because he did not know
the workings of his own Office The
Hoard administration had maintained
clerk al salary of $3.50 a year,
who did all the work for the treasury
agent, and the latter got the fees, while
the state paid the clerk.
Things are different now. Agent
Kennedy is here, doing his own work,
with the aid of young man whose
salary he pays himself.
And that 1880 clerkship which the
state maintained for Col. Fischer
benefit no longer e~sts.
No wonder Col. Fischer did not ex-
plain the workings of department he
merely drew revenue frotn, while the
work was done at state expense in an
other department of government.

As prognosticators of political events
republican newspaper editor are far
from being successful, but they keep
on forecasting just the same. Those
who predicted the overwhelming defeat
of the democratic state ticket last fall,
are now predicting that the pledges
which the democrats made will not be
redeemed by giving to the people the
reforms promised. Anent this subject
The Lacrosse Chronicle says:
The Republican newspaper attempts
to make it appear that Governor Peck's
efforts to reduce needless state expenses
are mere " cheese p lring" recommended
lions are as devoid of wisdom as their
cry hitherto that he would not live up
TO the pledges of the Democratic plat
form. These same silly papers asserted
that Colonel Vilas's senatorial aspira-
tions would be thwarted by all kinds of
opposition and there have been host
of similar evil prophesies from them
that have been proved TO be the merest
vaporings of defeated and disgruntled
minority For their own Sakes they
would show more wisdom if they
would make assertions that facts would
not disprove as soon IS they uttered
them. Governor Peck will very soon
demonstrate to the people that there is
great room for economy in state ex-
penditures with CORRESPONDENCE i'm

made the butt of more than his share
of practical jokes by the sports of that

ran across him while out hunting, and
amused themselves by tying rope
around his neck and leading him around
like calf. After he was released and
had reached supposedly safe distance
he retaIiated by calling them names,
whereupon one of the miscreants bIazed
away at him with shotgun. Part of
the load lodged under his scalp and in
the heshy part of his body and he is in
rather serious condition. Three of
his tormentors have been arrested.
