LACK STAYING QUALITIES.

The abandonment by the republican
editors of Wisconsin of their position
in regard to the Bennett school law
clearly shows that they lack staying
qualities. A little more than year
ago they were charging the democrats
with being traitors to the cause of
popular education, and declaring the
Bennett law to be a wise and humane
measure. But the people of Wiscon-
sin by an overwhelming majority dis
sented; and, presto, change; this year
we find every last one of these repub-
lican editors trying not only to drop
the Bennett law issue but to convince
the leaders of the party that at the
next republican state convention
some action should be taken to
let the people know that republicans
had abjured the issue with all that
it implies. Poor, timid SoulsI How
unlike their tlme-trled, battle-scarred
opponents, the inyincible democrats,
who come up smiling after every de-
feat, without variableness or shadow
of turning. Gentleman, what you
most need in your present quaking
condition is, staying qualities and
the courage of your political coryic-
tions. Judging by your treatment
of the defunct Bennett law, if in
the coming national campaign the
Mckinley tariff law is repudiated by
the people,-as the Democrat firmly
believes it will be,-we expect to find
every republican editor in the country
jumping clear over BIaine's reciprocity
scheme and coming out for absolute,
unadulterated free trade.

Political Tinplate.
The Milwaukee Journal.

In commenting upon the failure to
get any tin out of the Temescal mines
in California, The Chicago Tribune
says that it is limited among the En-
glish stockholders that their money
has been used in mining political tin
instead of the commercial article they
desire. But what else could The
Tribune expect? We make only poll
tical tinplate in this country, and that
certainly requires only political tin
Commercial tin would be superfluous
article as far as this country is con-
cerned, but perhaps it might be ex-
ported.

The Lottery Has to Go.
The New York World.


1t is hopeful sign to see the Dem
ocratic party in Louisiana throw off the
baleful influence of the lottery. The
split in the convention left the organ
ization in the control of the anti-lot-
cry delegates, and the Democrats who
resist the debauchery of the state will
make the regular nominations. If the
lottery men shall decide to run a sep
arate ticket the voting is pretty sure
to be done on this issue. Several of
the leading Republicans are also lead
ing supporters of the lottery, but the
white Republican vote is believed to
be largely "anti." When great
gambling institution seeks to alter
constitutions, control legislation, DOM
mate parties and de5auch the state, it
should be cut up, root and branch.

Bro. w. H. Bennett, who is now
ably editing The Baraboo Republic,

Restored the Equilibrium.
The Two Rivers Chronicle.

Our republican friends are working
themselves into a terrible rage over
the late obnoxious gerrymander. 1t
will do them no good, however, as
the democratic gerrymander of last
winter has barely more than restored
the equilibrium of political equity dis
turbed by the republican gerrymander
of 1885. 1t is a pity, however, that
our laws and lawmakers are not lib
eral and just enough to relegate the
gerrymander to the political hell from
which it emanated.

FRIDAY, JANUARY /, 1892.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press OF Sun
day, Dec. 27, contained an editorial
article setting forth st. Paul5 claims
for the national democratic convention
of 1892. We do not wonder that St.
Paul is anxious to secure the conVen-
ton that is to name the winner in the
presidential race, but there are good
reasons for believing that the honor
will be reserved for Wisconsin's me-
tropOlis

The Lacrosse ChroricIe.

The Lacrosse ChropicIe.
There is a class Of enemies Of tariff
reform who sneeringIy inquire what
would happen to the party if Mr..
Cleveland should die? Would it be
without candidate ?" BY no means
The Cleveland men are not mere man
worshiperS. Mr. Cleveland's principles,
his integrity and courage in unfolding
them are what give him strength with
the PEOPLE. Whether he lives or dies
the next Democratic candidate, for
president must stand on the Cleveland
doctrine and his personal character and
record must give assurance of loyalty
to uphold that doctrine Or he will
stand no show for an election. Mr.
Cleyeland'S superior strength, which
John G. Carlisle estimates at 100000
votes more than any other candidate,
is due only to the fact that the people
believe implicitly that his election
would insure the sincere and fearless
prosecution Of the Democratic battle
for just taxation, and honest and econ
Omical government Whatever may
happen to Mr.. CIevland the battle for
tariff reform will not languish. Only
his conspicuous services in the cause
and his deep hold upon public confd-
ence give him prominence above his
fellows as a Democratic candidate for
the prsidencv.

WAITING FOR THE DECISION

The people of Wisconsin are anx-
iously awaiting Judge Newman's
decision in the treasury cases. What
ever the Judges determination in the
matter may be, the cases will. in all
probability, be carried to the supreme
court. They surely will be if the
decision should be that the ex-treas
urers and their bondsmen are not
liable for the interest obtained on
public funds. But the people have
already rendered a verdict in the
matter; and the effort to recover for
the state has 80 far proved very sue
eessful- Attorney General O'Connor
has redeemed every pledge which he
made to the people during the state
campaign OF 1890. His able and Wig
orous prosecution Of the ex-treasurers
has brought to light astounding facts in
regard to the amounts received as in
terest on state funds; and there is Lot
at this time, in the light Of the revel-
atoms made, a man-republican or
democrat-foolish enough to advocate
continuance of the practice of state
treasurers retaining for their private
gain the interest on balances. Even
the most partisan of republicans
admit that the interest, of right. be-
longed to the state. 1t is true that
they claim that there was no law
which required state treasusers to
cover this interest into the treasury
But, by the same token, they fail to
give any reasons why the republicans
during their long continued control of
every branch of the state government
failed to enact such a law.

Tariff Reform is the Issue.
The Beloit Citizen

As the free coinage foolishness is
not confined to democrats but in fact
afflicts an equal number of republi-
cans, it will be hard matter for the
g. 0. P. to force the democracy to make
free coinage an issue. Tarif-reform,.
not free-coinage will be the campaign
cry next year, and on that issue success
is sure.

An Automatic Teapot.

Something of the picturcsqucness of
the sight of a graceful and comely
hostess serving her guests with the cup
of tea so much beloved by the lady of
fashion is in danger of being destroyed
by new device which halls from En-
gland. This innovation is an automa attic
teapot. The apparatus scarcely differs
in appearance from an ordinary teapot
save in the form of the spout, which
starts from the lower part of the pot
and is curved above in order that the
jet that issues from it shall be nearly
vertical. The cover of the teapot con-
sists of hollow cylinder forming a pis-
ton and provided at the top with a
wooden or ivory knot containing an
aperture five or six nm. in diameter.
In order to get cup of tea the cup is
placed under the nozzle and the cover
of the pot is first raised and then thrust
back into place and the liquid flows
freely. The flow is at once stopped by
the lifting of the finger that closes the
aperture in the knob, as this removes
the pressure exerted by the air upon the
hquid.-Chicago Newa.

THE SAVING HABIT.
Family Thrift Depends Upon Household
Economy.

Family Thrift Depends Upon Household
Economy.
There is an old saying that woman
can throw out with n spoon faster than
man can throw in with II shovel.
Without reference to the apparent in
justice of the comparison between the
two sexes we are compelled to admit,
if our male friend was right, that wom-
en- are great MASTERS, and that their eff
fcctivc weapon may not inaptly be
called a spoon. The thriftincSS of n
family does depend just rs much upon
the economy of the housemother us
upon the industry of the wage
Garner. So we say despisc not small
economies, but acquire and practice
habits of small saving. OF course by
small economics we don't recommend
you to use Il dollars worth of time in
order to save fifty cents worth of ma
teral. Clothes may be patched and
mcndcd to that extent that it were act
ual saving of money to buy new ma
terials rather than put on SO much new
cloth on old garments. But even
though there are small economies which
really are economies. there is not the
least excuse for anyone to condemn
the small saving habits. No woman
ought to allow the slightest particle
of good nourishing food to be wasted
Such is not only wasteful but
whilst there are so many in need, it is
a positive sin, for which an account will
have to be rendered. 1t is just rs easy
to cook meat which has been cooked be-
fore as it is to cook fresh meat Every
particle of fat should be carefully fried
out. Even bread crumbs saved from
each days cutting of bread. after be-
ing dried, rolled and siftcd, can reap
pear on the table in other and attract
i've forms. Stale bread can be saved
and prove very useful. Bits of twinc,
wrapping paper, etc, are always use
full If you have proper place to keep
them, where they can be easily found
Habits of small saving inculcate
spirit of thrift which goes far toward
making young people into useful mem
bers of society. But whatever you do.
do not fall into the opposite mistake,
and become so thrifty that, as we have
known housewives to do, you use eggs,
milk and the other materials which
would make valuable custard, in
order to save the bread crumbs from be-
ing wasted.
But some will say who read this
article: "Thcrc is no need for me, at
least, to do any saving. have more
things than / know how to USE" So
long as there is Il poor family in the
world, just so long have you need
to save, even if there arc no
children in your house to whom YOU
must be guide and an example. Just
so long as man can reproach us as house
keepers with wasting whilst others
want must we look carefully to what
we do or do not. These are low mo-
tives, you say. OF course they are,
judged from somee standpoints; but it
seems almost useless to appeal to higher
ones where household matters are con-
cerned. It's a mistake, but fact new
ertheless, and in so far us we wish to
impress the fact that the habit of small
savings is worthy habit, we appeal to
those motives which are most potent
