JUST ALARM.
Fears for the Future Health Of the
TOWn-ImmedtateA Action Needed.

Great anxiety is felt for the health OF the
town because of the condition OF one Of the
branches which run by us. The stream is
filled up. and the water covers the bottoms In
some places. In one place rice field is over
flowed. Well informed persons are Of the
opinion that if the stream Is not ditched we
may expert our citizens to be afflicted with
Intermittent fever.
Our people look to the town council to pro-
tect the health of the place. and we are quite
sure these gentlemen will do their whole
duty. If it is impractical for the owners to
ditch the creek, let the town council have II
done at once. The State law, we believe, au-
thoriZ"s such expense to be charged TO the
owners OF the land,
But the expense Is trine and scarcely
worth consideration. The people should be
protected, and their own money should te
used to pay the expense OF the dltchng-lf 1t
is not the duty Of others to pay ii.

LONG CANE GRAVE YARD.
Practical steps Should be Taken 10
Have it Better Kept.

The ladies of the village are just now agitat-
ing the question of providing some more con-
venient and permanent arrangements tor
keeping the Long Cane grave yard In better
condition.
This Is move IN the right direction and
should have the hearty sympathy and CO.
operation OF every citizen.
The grounds should be surveyed by some
one who has Intelligence and experience.
The grounds should be enlarged: walks
should be laid off; lots should be divided and
marke ed BY stones, which should be number
ed.
Instead of barring the red clay to the glare
of the sun. the reflection from which hurts
the eyes, the sod should be sown in grass
green being not only the most agreenable
color to the eye, but presents the most beau
tilul to look upon. While the eye-slght.
sooner or later tires OF every other color II
delights forever In living green, and Is sug-
gestive of pleasant thoughts.
Then let US quit the old way OF shaving
from the fnce Of the grounds every restige OF
green. and exposing the red clay.

The Reform Party Carries all EIec.
lions.

The result OF the election last Tuesday
shows that the "Reform" voters are nearly
solid, or unanimous in their opposition TO
any and every body outside of their charmed
circle. The failure TO pronounce their shb-
boleth NJ arks the individual for slaughter, no
matter what his qualification. The only
requisite now Is to pronounce the shibboleth.
He need not have other qualification. If the
youngest member of the Bar in this Circuit
and possibly II no lawyer at all-had offered
in opposition to Solicitor Ansel 1t is fair TO
presume that he would have been over
whelmingly elected. Solicitor Ansel could
have been beaten just as easily as was Con-
gressman Johnstone.

No resident of Wisconsin who is in
his right mind viii, after an eXamina-
ton of these figures, pretend to say
that the second gerrymander is Just
appoltionment," or that it was not
made for the purpose of securing polit-
ical advantage to the democratic party
rather than make a fair and equitable
apportiOnmcnt of the work according
to the population" In the case Of
Brown county, for example, instead of
carefully apportioning the two districts
Of the county so as to give equality of
representation to the inhabitants Of the
county, and make the districts of com
pact and contiguous territory with the
community interests carefully respect
cd, the second gerrymander made by
tn, democratic bosses, in the teeth of n
decision of the supreme court of the
commonwealth, laying down express
rules with respect to this question,
from the two districts by dividing the
city Of Fort Howard, and making a
difference Of nearly 5000, or onc-third
of the unit basis for making the dis
uicts. The figures shown in the third
column Of the table presented above
are obtained by making two districts
with only q difference Of 81 in their
population. end leaving the city of Fort
Howard intact, adding one or two
towns from the outlying country, but
not breaking county lines.
1t is very apparent that the demo
cratic bosses in making that outrageous
ge1ymander did not heed the vigorous
language in the decision written by
Mr.. Justice orion of the supreme court
in passing upon the first gerrymander
The second gerTymander was formed
without regard to population,
The same is true Of Rock county
There ;he city Of GAINESVILLE is made
an assembly district surrounded upon
all sides by the territory of another
district, but the population dispropor
ton is so great that, instead of being
less than 500, which is shown to be pos
sible under a fair and equitable appor
tionment the variance exceeds COCO, ol
more than one-third the entire unit
basis for an assembly district
The people should scan carefully these
figures. They show some of the in
i1uity Of the second gcuymander They
show. particularly in the districts of
Dane Rock, Racine and Brown, that
the democratic managers, instead OF
making an apportionment according
to the number Of inhabitants" made il
according to the number of democratic
votes that could be utilized.

A british scheme Which should Nor

A british scheme Which should Nor

The foreign manufacturers, inspired
by American free traders, have asked
to be permitted to exhibit their goods
at the worlds fair with placards Civ
ing their prices at the place of manutac-
ture and also the prices with the Nc
Ninley tariff added. American Golden
ties are always patting themselves on
the back over their brilliant move
which they think viii greatly impress
visitors TO the fair with the deSirability
of n speedy abolition of the Mckinley
tariff
The way TO meet them and beat them
at their own game is Tor American
manufacturers to placard their own
gods with The prices and wages paid
in producing them, side by side with
the wages paid to produce the foreign
article Something like this would be
the result:
American manufacturers:
Wire nails-price, 1 ID cents q pound.
Average wages, $3.50 day in the Uni
ted States; 81 a day in England.
Steel billets-Price, SD ton; average
wages, So a day in the United States;
S1.25 in England.
Calico-Price, 41-2 cents a yard.
Average wages, SLIGO in the United
States $3.50 in England
English manufacturers:

added, 3 "a cents a pound.

inal cheapness as compared with the
imported article considering the higher
labor cost Of it's manufacture, the I'M
