CONRAD kREZ, the poet, patriot, states
man with string of ct ceteras. is sin it"
Yes, he is on top, ready to hurl the thun-
derbolts oil wrath or burst into melodious
song, just as the occasion may demand.
The pathetic paucity of legal knowledge
for which he is celebrated "cuts no fig
ure"-in the language of the festive
drummer-in view Of the variety of his
attalnments. Having recourse again to
the choice and expressive language of the
commercial traveller, krez' knowledge of
law is only side ISSUE" But he has
drunk deep of the Plerian spring" and
he can close his legal arguments as Sam
Weller did his valentine, with a VERSE"
If his competitor could only present his
opinion on the certification of teachers in
rhyme, as Krez is able to, much that is
now attributed to want of knowledge
could march forth boldly in the garb of
poetic license.
There is something beautifully progress
sive in adjoining the massive front Of Law
with the flowers of Poesy To the credit
of Milwaukee it can be said she was the
first to invest the prosaic with the pleas
ing creations of the imagination. All
hail, glorious Cream City! The loafers
of the public school send you greeting.

The republican city convention held in
Milwaukee last week gave expression to
one of the most absurd. sentiments re-
garding the school question that can be
| found In the annals of backsliding. That
convention denounced The Bennett law
In terms scarcely less pronounced than
| the "us-Ameriean, updemocratic and I'M
/ necessary" form which democratic pan
dering 10 prejudice dictated. The, Ben
nett law is as dead as the Alien and Sedi-
| ton laws. But the Milwaukee conyen-
ton rolls in the mud to get kick at the
corpse IN the hope that the exhibition OF
antipathy will secure votes. The coward
illness of the act is equaled only by its
fColishness. There was no need of the de-
basing confession and no advantage is
gained by making it. The declaration
Is lie. as there never was law enacted
with reference to educational matters
more needed, and capable of doing more
good. 1t was rejected by the people
with such emphasis that the most earn.
est friend of popular education could not
urge the enactment of a similar law as it
would be furnishing opportunity for poll
ticians TO gain power by making sacrifice
to prejudice. The cringing acknowledge
ment of having done evil weakens rs.her
than strengthens the republican party of
Milwaukee.

The democrats of Milwaukee very wise
ly refralned from working the Bennett
law" at their convention of this week.
The success of the democratic ticket in
Milwaukee this spring will be an earnest
of the success of the democratic party
throughout the state next fall on purely
democratic principles. 1t is to be re-
GREETED, however, that Krez was placed in
nomination. With his offensive utter.
ances regarding the puplic schools and
their product, his nomination is in the
nature of an insult to every patron of the
public school. With this single excep-
ton the democracy of Milwaukee has
done we'll.

THE expected has happened in New
for David B. Hill and resolutions were
adopted instructing the delegation to
vote as unit and for the man who
never knew defeat" The protesting demo-
Gratis were treated as if their opinions
were not of the slightest consequence.
Their resolutions were received and
promptly tabled. Tammany is a power
in New York and the democracy of the
nation is responsible for its ascendancy.
II Tammany was refused representation
in the national convention years ago, it
would not now be in a position to thwart
the will of the people.

A communication from the striking
laborers at the T. Il F. NJ docks has been
sent The Pilot. AS it is signed collec-
lively Dock Laborers' and without in
dividual signatures, it cannot be inserted
They claim that at zoe. per hour to Ia
borers here, the loading of boat would
cost from $50 to $40, while at Milwaukee
the cost is from $75 to $40 They claim
the wages made by the laborers here run
from 80 cents per week to $500; only dur
ing one week did the total earnings reach
So. The average is about So per week
and a good deal of the work is night
work.
Ii what these men say is true there
seems to be nothing unreasonable in their
demands. But their statements are
greatly weakened by their averment that

/ hundreth of the taxes of the city. This
is a matter easily demonstrated by ar
| examination of The tax roll. Such argu
ments known to be untrue, will destroy
| confidence in what the laborers have tc
| say regarding real grievances.
The general opinion is that 20 cent:
| per hour is by no means too much, par
ticularly when employment is not steady
| Still the railroad company is now run
ming the flour to Milwaukee and shipping
it to Ludington from there. 1t is claim
ed that the stevedores there are more ex-

it's difficult to perceive how freight can

| by rail, and an added distance Of about
80 miles to Ludington by water and thus
make the expense less than 1t would be

in Manitowoc. 1t simply shows that al
the obstinacy is not on one side. The

manufacture of pearl buttons is COM
paratiyely new industry IN this country
and in consequence it is difficult to Sc
cure skilled labor This factory found
it necessary to employ labor in Europe
and now finds itself in the clutches
of the law. This prohibition on the i'm
portation of labor was designed to win
the support of labor for the policy of pro-
lection. 1t has thus far proved to be a

The purpose of the protesting demo-
Gratis of New York to hold d second demo-
cratic convention at Syracuse May 81, Is
unwise. The Hill delegates are properly
chosen and are entitled to seats in the
national convention. But the fact that
they are for Hill should not iuhnence the
convention to set Cleveland aside. They
should be taught that Tammany and the
United States are wholly different things.
Seat them and beat them should be the
policy of the democracy,
A second convention will cause a split
IN New York which cannot be repaired
and which will give the republican nomi-
nee the electoral vote of New York. Had
the democrats favorable to Cleveland's
nomination made fight in his behalf in
the primaries held to choose delegates to
what Is known as a snap convention" the
result might have been different. At
least it could be shown that Cleveland
has friends in New York. The conven-
ton held on the end, if it's action be
taken as expressive of the opinion of the
democracy of New York, plainly says that
Cleveland has no following there. This
could have been prevented and it would
be good politics to do SO.
