A Tramp COMMITS suicide.

The body of an unknown man, evil
IDENTITY a tramp, was found hanging in
the corner of an old rail fence near
Waukesha. The man had knotted
couple of handl1erchiefs together, tied
them to the top rail, then to his neck.

Milwaukee now considers herself the
bro fish in the Wisconsin political pud-
die and claims the honors. The La
Crosse Chronicle says: democrats OF
Wisconsin may just as well look the
Milwaukee appetite in the teeth one
time as another. The thing to be con-
sidered is whether we shall have Mil
waukoe or Democratic party in the
state Of Wisconsin, This suggestion
is all right and may call attention to
the fact that La Crosse is a good sized
village, but that is about all, and while
La Crosse and few other places are
whining over lack of recognition, what
about the country districts without
whose help there would have been
nothing to whine about?

WHILE there will be more or less Cos
sip as to the result OF Mr.. Blaine's letter
of retirement, it will soon crystalline
into a general understanding that his
withdrawal is final. He states that in
unmistakable terms. He declined the
republican nomination in 1888 at a time
when there was sn u~ndercurrent of op-
position to President Cleveland in the
democratic party and when the cam
paign was to be fought on a now issue.
The conditions for republican VIC
tory were tar more favorable then than
now. Considering his position at the
head of President Harrison's cabinet,
Mr. Blaine's entry into the race after
his withdrawal would result in a politi.
cal scandal that would create serious
divisions in his party. He is too clever
a politician to permit this.

AT WORK.

After nine weeks of delay congress
has at last fairly settled down to bust
ness. The new rules have been adopted
and the result of their workings will
soon be seen. To the casual reader
they e to be only one step in adj
vance of the rules OF the Reed congress,
against which the democratic minority,
two years ago, protested SO strenuously.
The Reed rules were the result Of a re-
action. Year BY year the affairs OF
congress had grown more muddled and
confused and hopeless. The majority
had virtually been rendered powerless
to conduct business, and the democrats
themselves had forseen that a change
had become a public necessity if any
legislation was to be accomplished. But
the Reed rules vent too far. They
marked the extreme swing of the pen
dulum. The reaction has again ZONE,
and another set of rules is the result,
but the present congress is very far
from the moorings Of the democracy in
past years. As was pointed out by sew
eral speakers on the democratic side,
during the debates in the present house,
the method Of procedure recommended
by tho committee on rules was simply a
proposition that the business of the
house should be placed in the hands of
two mon, a majority OF the committee on
rules, instead of in the hands of the
speaker alone, as in the last congress-.
In short, We now see congress gov
erned by a committee of two instead of
by a speaker. Our democratic fathers
would have rebelled at this. but neces-
sity does not respect precedent. The
practical question before the men who
made the present rules was, "How shall
1888 men so organize as to expeditiously
and fairly transact public business with
out undue obstruction and h~indrance?"
The answer is found in the rules them
selves, which virtually declare that the
individual shall be sunk, his preference
waived, and that the house shall have a
government by committees.
How the minority will fare under such
an arrangement time will show. OF one
thing the democratic leaders should be
sure, and that is that the country will
as promptly resent undue infringement
upon the constitutional privileges Of a
republican minority as it did the tramp
ling upon the rights of a democratic
minority in the last congress. Above all
things else, the American people like
fair play, and they will punish any polit-
ical party that does not accord it to an
opposition. There may be here and
there an unthinking democrat who
would like to see Reeds own ~tyrannica.

Such a line of action would be the
hight of f%oolishness, and would lose t.
the majority the popular respect which
it has gained in the past by the just
recognition of the rights of ever,
