Hits Some Prohibition Leaders
q Rap.

ing for the Prohibition party in the
East for several years, is one of the
broadest-minded men in that par y.
He is as fearless as lion, and strikes
right out from the shoulder. He
made q speech at Harrisburg, Pa,
recently, portion Of which we give
below. We think Evan" is over
sanguine as to what his party would
do we're it in power, and we do not
agree with him on all points, but we
think he is en- the right "trail":
We. must be as perfect in financial
matters as we are familiar with this
license question, and radically right
on the labor and money question if
we are to get the confidence Of the
whole people. This we must do de-
spite of the efforts of some of our
leaders to reduce the Prohibition
party to temperance society or a
Sunday-school party. Such leaders
are only trying to make us balance
ofpower party, and pluck us to
feather their own nests. | warn
you to beware of the teachers who
are. "cheek by jowl" with the cor.
porations, and who are backed by
the vilest monopolies and trusts,
and who are in every scheme to put
money in their pockets, and who
are yelling themselves hoarse against
radicalsm. The platform of the
Prohibition party is as broad as our
grand country, and the trainers of it
were broad gagged men and women
who grasp the issues before us with
hands of iron and brains that think
They are not using the party for
personal gain, and foisting OH the
people as leaders those who, in the
combines and trusts, rob the masses
by outrageous prices for the neces-
sites of life. Every issue to better
the home is dominant issue, and
the man or set of men who attempt
to confine the speakers to this one is
marplot and trickster, and should
be relegated to the rear. Our party
is too big for any clique or newspa-
per to run it in narrow groove.
Politics, and not plumber. is the
object; pure politics and pure pa
pers are demanded.
If any set of men shall attempt to
shear down the issue, let the fight
be openly made, in manly way,
against the attempt. A million
votes would have been cast for our
party last year had not the great
trusts controlled our newspapers and
dictated a dominant issue. The
Populist vote ought to have been
ours, and would have been ours had
not Wall street and the Standard
Oil trust, the robber of every home,

Col. KREz has wonderful capacity for
"holding on" When the valiant Col.
gets "holt" on official position, he has
the grip of wise. Any amount of sh-ing
won't chase him off. When he was col
lector of port for Milwaukee it was al
most necessary to beat him off with a
club. Whe he was forced to ''let go" he
contributed literally to the literature of
the country by writing Remonstrance
designed to show that he could not legal
ly be removed. Now he is splitting on his
hands preparatory for a struggle to retain
possession of the city attorneyship of Mil
waukee two years longer than the time for
which he was elected. He has been study
ing the statutes lately and constituting,
them. When Krez gets to "construing"
anything you may "bstcher sweet life" it
will be made to bear an aspect favorable
to Krez. He has discovered that while

IT is about time for the newspapers OF
the country to begin the agitation OF the
question of the abolition of the United
States senate. It is body responsible
to no one and may with safety ignore the
prevailing sentiment of the country. 1t
Is IN no sense represen iative and Is an
appurtenance of wealth, just as the house
Of lords is of hereditary right. Its MEM
bership is drawn from rotten boroughs
or through the corruption OF state legls-
Iatures. The election of United States
senator is largely a matter of purchase
and sale and federal offices the brides
which are paid.
The present attitude of the q. S. SEN
ate with regard to the silver question
shows how regardless OF public interests
that body is and how defiant of public
opinion. Its abolition is demanded in
the interests of political purity and the
public welfare. The people are not help
less if they employ heroic measures and
the situation at present demands just
that thing.

CHICAGO beat the record on Monday
last, something which everyone believed
it would do. What is far more impor-
tant is, that there is general rejoicing
throughout the land that it is Chicago
which has beaten the record. The mag
niicent work which the city has done
has aroused spirit Of devotion for it and
in public esteem it is now the great city
OF the new world.
The Fair is in all save exhibits, purely
an American institution. 1t draws its
attendance almost wholly from the Uni
ted States. The petty interference OF
congress while refusing to do what it
should in aid of the vast enterprise, did
not cause any irritation on Chicago's
part. She went Oh with her work and
the hundreds Of thousands of people who
| bore a days discomfort on the Fair
grounds on Monday last did it largely as
tribute to the splendid spirit the city
had shown. Chicago WAS honored by the
people OF the country and is honored now
IN the feeling that she deserves honor.

JUDGE JOHNSON OF Milwaukee has
given his decision on the issue raised as
to whether the state, the county and the
city are preferred creditors where they
have money in any insolvent corporation.
He decided that they are. The statute
certainly supports the decision but the
statute In this instance is such travesty
upon justice that it would be matter of
rldlcule If it we're not for the attendent
feature of seriousness. The individual is
OF no consequence when his claims con-
tlict with those of the municipality.
Judge johnson decides as the statute di-
reefs. Wisconsin has been cursed for
years with such an aggregation of fools
IN the legislature that nothing but a fool
law could be enacted. The case will 90
to the supreme court where the constitu-
tionality of the law will be passed upon.
1t is possible that body may take cogniz-
ance of the fact that the people have a
prediction for fools and knaves as rep
resentatives and may set the law aside
for that reason. If the court should not
we will have chance for endless litiga-
ton in this county. There were county
funds and city funds on deposit with the
L. c. Shove Banking Co. Both county
and city were treated as ordinary credit
ors, as 1t was proper they should be. Now
Genes this fool law of fool legislature
which makes the state, county and city
each preferred creditor, and the poor
deposltor must wait until the claims of
these corporations are satisfied in full
and then take his share of what is left.
1t is magnificent law and should make
people proud of their state! And they
are proud of it. Next fall the people
will be appealed to by politicians who
cherish no Interest more than that of the
dear people. And the people will be-
lleve them only to be deceived again.
Ii the decision of Judge johnson is
sustained no bank that is depository of
public funds will have any individual de-
posts, When their money may be taken
by municipality it is not at all likely
that they will place it where it may be
SO taken

AMONG FARMERS.

There is nothing which the farmer has
to sell in this county this year which does
not bring first class price.
Scotch pease went up to S1.05 on Tues
day and green pease up to 90 cents. Pease,
barley and potatoes are coming to town
in large quantities and some oats. But
very little wheat is sold here.
Mr.. Schaffland, the miller in charge of
Klingholz Touring mill, says that if it
was not for the price of feed the custom
mills of this state would be wholly un-
able to exist. Bran brings as much per
pound as wheat does.
Wisconsin stands quite high at the
Worlds Fair in cereal products, In
wheat, strange as it may seem, it stands
quite high except as to yield per acre.
1t is thought that if medals were given
to individuals, fully ten per cent. of Wis
consin exhibitors at the Worlds Fair will
receive them.
FIGURING mills are among the institu-
tions whose day is past in this county.
The small country mills which do custom
work can exist, but the quality Of the
wheat they receive is poor and the price
is low. Some years ago the man who
owned Touring mill was considered
"well fixed" Az property now it is not
much more desirable than fast horse.
Wisconsin exhibitors at the World g
Fair are winning prizes in unexpected
lines. Wisconsin farmers have taken a
number OF premiums on sheep. The state
has such variety OF resources which
have developed SO rapidly that even resi-
dents are surprised at its outranking other
states in products for which they seem
to have special adaptation. Wisconsin
is to-day one of the leading dairy states
OF the union although this industry re-
ceived attention only within compare
lively short time. It's fruit interests are
growing. Grocers in this city get their
supply OF berries from the county and
this fall the apples raised here are super
ior to those of other states IN which fruit
growing Is speciality. There is money
in fruit and the labor is not heavy. The
orchards should receive more attention
than has been given them in the past.

THE Milwaukee Journal criticises the
proposed appointment of George Forth
as postmaster of Milwaukee with con-
siderable severity. No matter who may
be appointed the selection would be
made by the managing politicians, so
that the appointment of Mr.. Perth is not
a whit worse in this particular than
would be that of any other man. Federal
positions are gwen as reward for ser
vices toindividuals and the re is not much
use in protests. Mr.. Forth is competent
and far more deserving than any person
who would be likely to get the appoint
ment If his name was not to be consider
cd. The influences which secured his
appointment would be equally dominant
If Mr.. Perth was out of the race. II is
just as well to admit the fact that we are
nothing more than voting cattle when it
comes to the distribution of the offices.
They are the rewards and will continue
to be SO whether distributed by demo-
Gratis, mugwumps or republicans.

If those anxious to have their predic-
tons verified unless their ideas on public
matters prevail, will only cease bowling
disaster, there is every indication of such
revival of business as will be pleasing
to the people at large. There never was
a time when all kinds of farm produce
brought better prices than now. There
has been a large amount of farm produce
sold IN this city within the last two
weeks But the farmers are told by the
calamity howlers that "by gosh" this
country is golpg TO the eternal smash.
That We have seen hard times thus far
this summer but they are a zephyr com
pared to the cyclone of disaster which
will sweep over US if profane hands are
laid on the Mckinley law. That it be-
hooves every one TO curtail expenses and
live on husks until assured that the Nc
kinley Law is not to be tempered with.
The farmer gives heed to these warnings
and delays purchases which he other
wise would make at once. This NAV be
q good line OF policy to pursue If people
are more intent upon party success than
their own prosperity. 1t is poor bust
ness policy and initiates against all
classes. The walking delegate is no
more a curse TO the laboring community
than are the calamity howlers who are
s,dulously laboring to plant distrust in
the people. The depression which result
ed from bad fnanciering and a danger.
Gus extension of the credit system can
b. made to melt away like mist if peo-
pc will attend 10 business and quit being
prophets of disaster. Even healthy
man can be made sick by having it for
ever diuned into his ears that he is stead
lily failing. The over production of the
country has passed through the regular
channels during the past few months of
inaction; the rotten concerns which were
a menace to business have gone by the
board and there may nov DC revival all
