A PROPER AND POPULAR NOMINATION.

The bar convention did its work
we'll. The nomination of Judge
Webb, Of Grand Rapids, for
Associate Justice, is as wise a Sc
lection as could have been made.
Judge Webb is in all respects ad-
mirably equipped for the distin-
guished position. He has had the
essential experience of a success
full lawyer, been a circuit judge ten
or twelve years, having succeeded
the late Gilbert L. Park; has al
ways been a close student and ever
a good citizen. He has been
prominent in his part of the state
more than thirty years, and no
risk is run in making the claim
that he is one Of the most popular
men in the state. Judge Webb
served a term in the state senate
about twenty years ago and was
for time y. S. district attorney
for the Western district OF WIS
consin. There should be no doubt
as to his election after such
nomination by such convention
a convention of Republican and
Democratic lawyers from all parts
of the state. There was just such
an absence of politics in the Sc
lection as should characterize the
nomination of all candidates for
Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.

FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
What the Press Have 20 Say About
Judge Webb.

1t is unnecessary for us to speak
of Judge Webb's qualifications for
the office to which he has been
nominated by the Bar Of the state
in convention assembled, but we
will republish what his friends
have to say about him, as follows;

FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

Al d convention OF TIC WIS
consin bar held at Milwaukee last
Thursday for the purpose of re-
commencing candidate for
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court, Judge Chas. M. Webb re-
ceived I66 votes, Geo. G. Green
IIo, and Judge Newman 4. Judge
Webb's nomination was then made
unanimous.
Judge Webb needs no introduction
to the residents Of Taylor county,
nor does he need a recommen-
dalton, as he has wide acquain-
lance here, and wherever he is
known best he is held in the
highest esteem. AS a jurist he
stands high in the ranks by reason
of his natural judicial mind and
answering integrity Of purpose.
1t has been the privilege of the
writer to know Judge Webb init
mately for more than a dozen
years, and during that time our
respect and love for him have
been growing year by year. Rug
ged, open-hearted and honest, with
a single-minded purpose to do
exact justice always, he has won
for himself the respect Of all who
have been privileged to know him.
His loyalty to his friends has
never been questioned, but many
times has he unselfshly turned his
back entirely on his personal in
terests to help a friend he believed
to be deserving. It is such men
as this that win the support of all
classes where they are best known
and the fact that in the convention
last Thursday eight counties were
represented in which he has pre-
sided as Circuit Judge during the
past ten years, each one of these
counties being part of his circuit
during some portion of his time as
ajudge, and those eight counties
gave him every vote is an en-
dorsement that proves everything
his friends claim for him. Those
counties are Lincoln, Marathon,
Portage, Price, Taylor, Waupaca,
Waushara and Wood. He re-
ceived also the solid vote of six
teen other counties that have never
belonged to his circuit.
We said before that Judge Webb
was we'll known here, and we pro-
phesy that he will carry Taylor
county by unanimous vote.-Dea-

ABOUT JUDGE WEBB.

Portage Register: The difference
between the two candidates in the
points Of merit and fitness for the
promotion being largely in favor
of Judge Webb, his election ought
to be assured by a very decisive
majority,
Madison Journal: The nomina-
ton of Judge c. NJ. Webb places
before the people, with the en-
dorsement Of the attorneys of the
state, an able, scholarly, conscien-
tious and most popular judge, and
a most likeable man in his person
atty. Judge Webb has served in
the state senate and among all the
people where he is known he is
very popular.
Oshkosh Northwestern: The
state bar convention at Milwaukee
was a very representative body
Every county in the state but one
was represented by delegates and
most Of the prominent and best
known attorneys Of the state were
there. It was not a partisan Or sec
tional convention and those who
have been decrying the convention
and endeavoring to belittle its i'm
portance and its functions, can
find no ammunition in the pro-
ceedings of the body for campaign
attack upon the candidate which ii
nominated. x * Judge Webb
is a man of high legal qualif-
cations and fine judicial instincts
and is generally regarded as stand
ing at the head Of the circuit
bench Of the state. Considering
the representative character of the
convention and the harmonious
nature Of its proceedings, it would
seem to be the natural inference
that his election is already quite
we'll assured.

The pope was recently introduced to
Edison's creates invention, the phono-
graph. It was the first time he had ever
seen one of the wonderful instruments
and he was greatloy impressed. He seemed
to be deeply concerned in the fact that his
voice would be preserved to be heard again
ages after he was dead. 1t is n grent
thought, although everybody is familiar
with it. The voice of Gladstone. of Queen
Victoria, of the Kaiser and Bismarck, of
the great mon of this republic and of the
world can be heard in the centuries to
come. The voices of our queen of song
"a charm the ears OF the people of the
next century with the same distinctness
that they charm the people of the present
time. No wonder the pope was astonishca
when, for the first time, he became &C.
quainted with the possibilities of the
p~honograph.

p. o. Sullivan and David Quincy Of
Devils Lake were recently arrested in a
Blind pig and fined $50 each. In the
Grand Forks Herald they make the follow
ing statement:
''The city marshal took us into a blind pig
here md after drinking with US till We got
q little the worse for whisky, the marshal
got pretty we'll filled up himself. He went
out and swore out a warrant for US, then
came back and arrested US. We were fined
500 each, and we can swear the marshal
drank with us every time. He never
molested the pigs, but rather upholds them
We are sure there are eight blind pigs on
the principal streets that have full privilege
to run by the city authorities or city
officials, whereby they get an income for
their own d%uritanical benefit. Also we
know of thirty-nine more blind pigs that
are q little more private. Eight of those
pigs are run as public rs any saloon III
East Grand Forks. The city marshal and
some of the city council of Devils Lake
are blind piggers themselves. I wish you
would publish this to let the people of the
state know why Ramsey county wanted
resubmissior. We can prove what we stat
and should they want to know more we car
accommodate them"

Song of the Pessilnist.

I want to see before I die, this old world
decked in green; I want to see the grasses
wave where snow drifts now are seen; l
want to hear the meadow lark at early peep
of day, and listen to the yellow-headed
blnckbird's orchestra; I'm tired of con-
tributing my salery for heat, and using
borrowed vaseline for my frost bitten feet;
1 want to feel the breath of spring upon
my marble brow. and drive to pastures fair
and green the new mich, brindle COW. I'm
sick OF eating II part pork to ninty-nine
OF beans, and want to be upholstered once
with slugs of pigweed greens. And 80 it
goes-I always long for something far
away, and in my grave I'll beef about the
resurrection day.

The Savior of the World once said:
"Let him that is without sin cast the grist
stone." This text is now quite apropos to
the newspaper pecksnins who are assailing
Senator Roach for an error of youth, long
since repented. Have these immaculate
mask-wearers forgotten the history of rhad
Stevens Simon Cameron, James G. Blame,
Senator Ripple Mitchell of Oregon and the
great Mat Quay hitmselfs Have they for
gotten by what crimes their saints have
their enthronement? 1t would seem so.

The Arctic Hishlanders.

The Arctic Highlanders are, from their
environment. q nomadic race. They
rarely have their summer abiding place
where their winter settlements are, and
the dwellings for the two seasons are OF
entirely different character. Their winter
buts, or igloos, are of two kinds of con-
structioD. Those for temporary use
whilo travelling are built Of snow or ice.
Those for permanent use are located
where the fierce northwest winds are
tempered BY great cliffs, and are built OF
stone; an entrance to each is had through
a long, low tunnel, and both are covered
by turf. The interiors are about SIX
feet square and high, and lined with
skins, with the fur out ward. One-halt
the interior is taken up by platform on
which the family sleep and sit, and the
other halt is used as a receptacle for oil
kinds of filth and refuse. In these con-
stricted quarters five, six and sometimes
more Eskimos swelter in a terrific heat
from small oil lamp, and enjoy them
selves during the long arctic night,
which lasts from the first week in No
vember to the middle of FebruaI;. This
enjoyment consists in eating, sleeping
and visiting.
As soon as the spring thaws begin, the
roofs OF the stone igloos are taken oil to
allow the elements to cleanse the inter
iors, and the occupants betake themselves
to tupics, or skin tents, set up perhaps
miles from their winter habitation'.
These tupics are made of sealskin with
the fur all scraped of, and all are made
exactly alike. and OF the same number
OF pieces. The interiors are fitted up
the same as the igloes and are nearly a.
filthy. Indeed, filth and vermin seem a
necessary accompaniment Of the Eskimos.

water and hurriedly rubbed it on her
face from her eyes to her chin, and then
scrambled back to the house as fast as
her feet could carry her, where she
