The crime of intemperance or the
business that fosters it has been an
alyzed, IFS products suspected and
its effects realized.
None are ignorant of its power in
our land and the necessity of a
speedy release from its terrible in
huence. Nations are searching for
the cause of delay in its overthrow.
Where lies the responsibility of
its existence? These are questions
that agitate the world. Ways and
means are discussed hourly with
varied conclusions.
"Work, wait and hope" is the
watchword of a host Of temperance
advocates, while the enemy bids de-
fiance to all, and with renewed
energy increases his force and prose-
cutes his work; and it would seem,
judging from a human standpoint
that all efforts to resist its power
were fruitless, but there is an under
current that is rolling on and at its
head a power Omnipotent. Gods
plans and purposes never fail.
The tide of public opinion is such
already as TO warrant US in the
belief that very soon we shall see the
triumph of the worlds cause.
Christian, The Master is come and
is calling for thee.
If Jesus were enthroned in the
heart of every voter how soon would
we hear the death-knell of intemper-
ance but he is not there. Party
policy, self emulation and financial
greed are at the poles. Jesus is not
there else right would triumph over
wrong. How dare a person offer
the prayer taught by Christ, and 90
from his knees to the ballot-box and
vote license to blot out Gods image
and give darkness and death. Is
that Gods VIII?

Here's pretty how do you dol
The reform administration at Madi-
son seems to have been engaged in
speculations with state money which
makes the work of Republican treas
urers seem white as snow. In order
TO float the administration organ, state
money was lent to small banks which
in turn lent it back to the organ. Then
to pay il back to the banks a contract
to priIG $4,000 rosters at a profit of
sos, 700 was contrived. The Dow bank
at Stoughton advanced $4,000 on this
contract; two days later it was resciDd-
ed as unconstitutional, but the money
was already spent and the BOWS
are whistling for all but SIS 900 of it.
Other parties are in the soup the same
way and are whistling for $40 900. So
suit has been brought against Gov.
Peck, Sec'y Cunningham, Treas.
Hummer and Atty. 0'Connor for van
ished dollars. This is the allegement
in brief. The matter has got into the
courts and every body will have a
chance IN time TO know all about il

Herman j. ShuIIheIs, " no was sent
to Europe to make a report on i'm
migration. has just finished his work.
He visited the larger European coun-
tries and made thorough investi-
CATION OF immigration. In some
cases he assumed disguise as "a
pauper, which enabled him to find
out by actual experience what is
done with European paupers. He
finds that England sends to this
country vast numbers of paupers and
destitute children; Russia sends us
large numbers. IL was found that
thousands of laborers were exported
by Italy. In fact all foreign
countries seemed To consider this
country dumping ground for their
refuse population, with the exception
Of France, Switzerland and Belgium.
Agents of steamship companies mis-
represent the amount of work and
wages to be had in this country.
There are numerous societies organ
ICED to raise funds to assist criminals
and paupers to emigrate. They are
told land is free and ali sorts of false
hoods to encourage them to leave.
Mr.. Shultheis says in concluding his
report:
THAT immigration should be sifted
more carefully in America is appar-
ent to the veriest tyro in economics or
sociology. The laissez faire policy
must be reversed if ouI free instltu-
tions are to be maintained and the
dignity of labor sustained, even

duce the profits of great alien fleets of
steamship companies or of the coal

The Roster Contract.

The Democratic State House Ring
at Madison have developed a state of
corruption not even equaled by the
Forty Thieves" of forty years ago.
An action has been brought against
Gov. Peck. Attorney General 0'Conner
and others by Tracy q Gibbs, printers,
to recover damages for breach of a
certain contract entered into by these
precious individuals on behalf of the
state for the printing of the roster of
Wisconsin volunteers. "When thieves
fall out honest men get their Dues" is
an old adage that in this instance will
open the eyes of Wisconsin citizens TO
the corruption in the state capital.
Under the general laws the printing
of the state is let to the lowest respon-
sible bidder. Bnder the contract with
the state the official printing of the
roster would have cost somewhere in
the neighbOrhood of ninety cents per
volume. But the state officers became
interested in ring organ called the
The Madison Times" started at Madi-
son about two years ago and in which
the governors private secretary was
the leading spirit. and it was deter
mined TO boom the enterprise at the
expense of the taxpayer. A contract
was entered into signed Tor supposed
TO be signed) by the governor and
other state officers on behalf of the
state and the Times company, repre-
scented by the governors private sec
rotary, in which it was attempted to
bind the state to pay for the printing
of this roster something like one dollar
and ninety cents per volume,--or more
than twice the cost if done under the
general printing contract of the state.
When it leaked out that this currupt
contract had been entered into the
Republican press, assisted by the
Madison Democrat and other honest
democratic papers made it so hot for
the wOuld-be- boodlers that the con-
tract was withdrawn by Peck on the
ground that he had been advised" of
its illegality.
Its exact terms have been kept a
secret, as it has never been placed Oh
file in the office of the secretary OF
state where papers of this character
properly belong. Tracy d Gibbs bring
their action as the assignees of the
Times Company. The case promises
to develop state of affairs damnable
