The Line Of Lakes.

The above name has been applied
to the Wisconsin Central lines on &C.
count of the large number of lakes
and summer resorts tributary to its
lines. Among some Of the we'll
known summer resorts are Fox Lake,
Ill. ; Lake Villa, Ill. Waukesha, Muk
wonago, Cedar Lake, Neenah, Wau-
paca, Fiield, Butternut and Ashland,
Wis. These lakes abound in numer.
GUS species of fish, such as black bass,
rock bass, pickerel, pike, perch, musk
allonge, while sportsmen will find an
abundance Of game, such as ducks,
geese, quail, snipe, etc. In the grand
eur of her scenery, the charming
beauty of her rustic Ian escapes, and
the rare perfection of her summer
climate, the state OF Wisconsin is ac-
knowledged to be without a peer in
the union. Her fame as a refreshing
retreat for the overheated, careworn
inhabitants OF the great cities during
the midsummer months, has extended
southwark as far as the Gulf of Mexico
and eastward to the Atlantic.

to hit every BLAINE head that comes
up, and his supporters are now openly
threatening that if they cannot nomi-
nate HARRI, ON they can at least pre-
vent the nomination OF BLAINE with

accept without practically confessing
that his February letter was but a
shrewd move toward getting the ntm-

the Secretary of State, with whom he
has been on bad terms for years, is

More Republican RascaIlty.

lime and again in the history ofthe
Republican party Miss Anna Dickinson
has been invited to do campaign work,
and her eloquent speeches and pointed
epigrams have largely nodded public
opinion in the North.
nthe last campaign Miss Dickinson
took the platform under a contract with
the national Republican committee.
She delivered her speeches and was
left to whistle for her pay. After watt
ing four years she brought suit, and
her case was dismissed. Upon what
plea? Upon just such a plea as COM
mon swindlers would be likely to make
the plea that the contract was illegal
and contrary to the statute, which
provides that no candidate or other
person shall contribute money to
promote the election OF a candidate ex-
cept in certain cases. Asthe testimony
showed that Miss Dickinson's services
were to secure the election of Benjamin
Harrison the point was made that the
contract was illegal.
The Judge sustained the point, and
the plaintiff lost her case and her mon
ey.

thieving when it unblushingly robs a

that one of these men will ever go

Secure State Bank Notes.

The proposal to remove the prohib-
itory tax now imposed upon State
bank notes in the interest OF national
bank monopoly has been widely mis-
understood, and as the misunerstand-
ing clears away the tone of press ut
terance becomes more favorable.
1t is not proposed to do:anything to
restore wildcat" currency. The con-
ditions which made wildcat banking
possible have passed away not to re-
turn, and all possibility of it may be
removed by the act to repeal the pro
hibitory tax. That act may be made
to apply only to bank notes issued un-
der State laws adequately providing
for redemption, and such laws are as
easily framed as are those which rem
der our savings bank system secure.
There is q very large amount of per-
fectly safe securities bearing good in
terest--water bonds, court house
bonds, county bonds, municipal securi-
ties and the like-which might be
made available as O basis for note cir
cu,ation with every advantage. These
obligations are as we'll secured as Gov
eminent bonds themselves, and their
enforcement is in the hands of the
State.
Why should not the State OF New
York, for example, authorize It's banks
to issue circulating notes on the
strength Of a deposit of such bonds
with the State Treasurer, the State
thus becoming sponsor for the re-
demption of the notes without any
risk to the State? The security of the
notes would not depend upon the sol.
vency of the bank. They would be
subject to no discount and no doubt
they would add q needed volume oil
secure currency at times of business
activity, which would retire Itself
when no longer needed. Their issue
would make a reader market for i'm
provement bonds Of all kinds, give
larger employment to capital in
the smaller cities and towns and
greatly increase the banking facilities
the lack of which is a real grievance
in many parts of the country,
Only the tax imposed in beHalfo OF a
monopoly that nc longer wants il
stands in the way. Why should not
that tax be repealed with carefully
framed conditions?--New York World.

The Morristown Gazette says the
caucus of the first district delegates at
Nashville voted down instructions by
a vote, SO to &c. The Gazette is sim
ply mistaken. THE COMET acted as
secretary of the caucus and has the
vote by counties as it was cast. The
vote was rs against the instructions
and so in favor of the resolution.
JACK FAw voted Johnson county
against instructions when the county
in convention had declared in favor OF
CLEVELAND and instructions. Sulli-
van county is for CLEVELAND by a
large majority but was misrepre-
sented along with several other coun-
ties.
The charge that the district dele
gates are opposed to CLEVELAND is not
true if the delegates themselves are
to be believed. JOHN T. EssARY de-
clared in the presence of THE COMET
that he was for CLEVELAND, and JOHN
H. CALDWELL has said repeatedly that
he preferred CLEVELAND to HILL AS
for the alternates, JoBE is for CLEvE-
LAND, and ST.. JOHN don't know who
he is for, but 1t matters little, for he
will not be called upon to express an
opinion if he had me-. He stated to
Judge H. H. INGERsoLL, in the pres
ence of THE COMET, in the Mountain
City Club, at Chattanooga, the day be-
fore the convention, that between
HILL and CLEVELAND he preferred the
latter, but was opposed to nominating
him because he did not not believe he
could carry New York. When asked
who he favored and believed could
carry the Empire State he could not
tell, but mentioned GoRMAN, BoIEs
and others as good men. The truth is
he is against CLEVELAND, but don't
know why, and can't name a better
man. In that respect he is on a pai

Some of the Peddlers Have Been

Sheriff REYNOLDS has discovered slick
scheme which is nothing short of forgery.
Everybody in Asheville knows that in
the city are dozens of Italian peddlers,
who 60 from house to house selling
"Cheap John" articles. The headquar-
ters of the peddlers, among whom are
several women, are in Ashevllle. and
some of them travel through the county.
seeking whom they may take in.
To do this pcddling requires a license
from the sheriff. Some of these peddlers,
or Others for them, hit upon the plan of
forging Sheriff Reynolds name to Ii
cense receipt If any question was
raised they would present the receipt
and as the everybody in the county is
not supposed to know the sheriff's Chi
Biography, the peddler would be allowed
to go his wav.
On Saturday two of the peddlers were
arrested near Biltmore. Their receipts
were found to be forged, and the men
were brought to the city. When Piled
with questions as to the forgery they
protessed to be utterly ignorant of the
English language, and nothing could be
gotten from them. The men left their
packs with the sheriff and are supposed
to have skipped.
The iorgeries are very crude, and the
sheriff wants everybody to look out for
these peddlers licenses that have not his
own fine Spencerlan hand,
