The Milwaukee Journal truly says
of its great victory in the state treas
ury cases:
I'm the history of American pol
tiles but one case now comes to mind
where a public journal has achieved
such a victory in the attack and over
throw of a gang which had fastened
itself upon the public treasury and
fattened thereon. The overthrow of
the Tweed ring in new York number
of years ago the one referred to. That
was the result of the exposure of the
ring by the New York Times which
persistently followed it until COM
PEELED change in public opinion
which brought about the desired re-
suit.
1.-The Journal took up the fight for
the people over ten years ago, deter
mined to win and stay in the field
until it educated the people up to
the point where they would open a
way to the courts. 1t had no debut
that once in the courts the decision
would be against the ex-treasurers,
and the bitter fight made by the lead
ers and organs of the republican party
shows that they realized that their
only safety was in standing between
the people and the courts. Thus fol-
years the people with good cause OF
complaint against the ex-treasurers

The States Money.

Milwaukee Telegraph.
The treasury suits have gone against
the treasurers and their bondsmen and
the state will recover more than half
mincing matters. The Republican par
ty is to blame. When it came into
power in 1855 it should have enacted
law giving the treasurer a fair sal
airy, and making it impossible for him
to retain fees or interest, and relieving
him of responsibility in case Of losses
of thieves or the failure of banks
where money might be deposited. 1t
is plain to all, now. That is what the
Republican party should have done;
but it left the bars down and good
men have accepted the Office and fol-
lowed the example Of their predect s.
sors, and the outcome is ruination to
some of these men, hardship to their
DOuuolucL, dliu d Ncd'y UlUW W Iue
Republican party which its leaders
should have prevented. 1t is said that
the treasurers were called upon for
large contributions to campaigns. 1t
is possible to ascertain what those
contributions were and how much Of
it came from interest On state funds.
When that is ascertained-wh Hen
ry BaetZ, Richard Guenther, Edward
McFetridge and Henry 3. Harshaw
make complete statement that they
spent so much Of that interest money
in campaigns for their party, there is
course for the republicans of Wis
cousin to pursue. 1t is to raise the
full amount and hand it back to the
men WHO in turn should return it to
the state

The Democrats who voted with the
Republicans, in the assembly, against
the suspension of the rules and the
passage of Senator Lees's joint resolu-
ton, asking congress to repeal the
Sherman silver law, made mistake.
It is subject of congratulation, how
ever that the great majority of Dem
ocratic members were sound in their
views on the currency question, and
were consequently able to carry the
motion to concur in the resolution,
when it came up in the regular order.
Wisconsin Democrats should unwaver-
ingly maintain their advanced position
against the unnecessary purchase OF
silver for the purpose Of coinage, or
of issuing silver certificates

The Governors Message.

The Madison Times.
Governor Peck's biennial message
should be read by every person inter
ested in the welfare of the state of
Wisconsin. 1t is concise, trenchant
and complete. His departure from
the customary method of giving de-
tailed statement of the various reports
of state officials is an admirable one.
AS each one of these reports is COM
plete in itself, there has never been
any good reason why the governors
message should restate them.
No better evidence of the work that
the democratic party has done for the
people Of Wisconsin can be given than
the fact stated in the message, that
on the 9Th day of January, 1891, or at
the close of the last republican admin
istration, the general fund was over
drawn in the sum of $12,497.55, while
on the 1st day of January, 1898, or at
the close of the first two years of dem
ocratic administration, the general
fund had to its credit the sum Of
1912, 939,79! Of this sum but $685.
466.10 came from the refunding of the
direct war tax by the general govern
ment. Democratic economy, faithful
ness and wisdom in public Office have
resulted in gain for the people in this
fund alone of the magnificent sum of
S226,971.24! Surely here is result that
justifies the confidence shown by the
people in the present administration.

Where Crocodiles Are Found.

Crocodiles are found in Africa, Asia,
the tropical parts of Australia, Central
America and the West Indies, while the
alligators, with the exception of one spe-
cies discovered some few years since in
China, are found only in America. They
are all of them terribly destructive crea-
lures. The young feed principally on
fish, but as they grow larger they attack
every animal that they can overcome,
dragging their prey into the water and
SO drowning it. 1t has been said that
more people are killed by crocodiles than
by any other of the wild beasts of Africa.

The Democratic members OF the
assembly should vote solidly against
the resolution of Mr.. Cox, which re-
quests Wisconsin senators and repres-
entatives in congress to use all efforts
to prevent the passage of the bill
repeating the tax on state bank cur
rency. The plank in the Democratic
platform favoring the repeal of the
law taxing the issues of state
banks doubtless lost the party a
good many votes last fall; but that
was because the subject had not been
fully discussed, and not because the
plank was unsound. The tax on state
bank currency is a hagrant use of the
taxing power of the government for
the purpose of restriction, rather than
taxation. The sooner it is repealed,
the shorter will be the life of the wild
cat scare.

PAYING A DEBT OF KINDNESS.
An Indian Brave Who Never Forgot the
Mercy Shown His Band.


/ About the middle of this century there
was terrible uprising among the Yucca
tan Indians. For time they were able
to wreak vengeance on their white con-
querers, and their ferocity and cruelty
were horrible. Even SO dark page of
history as this, however, is not without
its story of kindness and mercy between
enemies. The town of Peto was so sit
uated in the Indian territory that it was
taken by the Indians and recaptured by
the whites many times. Once, when it
was in the hands of its rightful owners,
number of Indian prisoners were held.
Less cruel than the savages, the whites
killed only in battle; they allowed their
prisoners to live. But provisions became
more and more scarce, and the Indians
were left to die of hunger. One day Don
Marcos Duarte, a wealthy inhabitant of
the town, was passing the house where
the Indians were and stopped, shocked
at the sight of a miserable, emaciated
creature.
"What are you doing:" he asked.
81 am eating my shoes, as you see, :"
was the reply. 81 am starving to death.
For twelve days we have had almost no
food. Most of my companions are dead
and the days of the rest are numbered"
Don Marcos looked at the miserable
survivors and said, ''You and they shall
live" and he sent them food every day
and finally procured their freedom.
Whatever were the rights of the ques-
ton between Indians and whites in this
case, human pity spoke first in his heart.
Some time later Peto was captured by
the Indians, and the inhabitants were
massacred. Don Marcos, with his wife
and children, awaited death ON their
knees in prayer. They heard a party of
savages approaching the house, and felt
that the end had come.
The head of the band, however, sta
toned sentinels around the house and
gave this order, "Not hair Of the head
of this man Or his family is to be touched,
ON pain of DEATH"
The family of Duarte was the only one
that was spared. The Indian who had
inspired the pity of Don Marcos was
paying his debt.
Twenty years afterward in a success
full uprising the Indians sacked a num-
Der of villages and country houses. They
retreated loaded with spoil and drag
ging with them many household serv-
ants, of whom they intended to make
slaves. The chief of the expedition asked
one of them what was the name of his
master.
don Marcos Duarte," he replied.
The chief Immediately called halt.
''How many men belong to Don Mar
cos?" he asked.
"Twenty-four," replied the man to
whom he had spoken.
"Name them," said the chief.
Having collected the twenty-four men,
he returned to them the spoil which had
come from the Duarte house and said,
$50 home, friends; you are free" It
was the Indian once more paying his
debt.-Youth's Companion.

Why She Reads the Last Chapter First.


"Of course always read the last chap
ter of novel first" admitted a young
woman, "and l think it a very sensible
plan. But l read such books in two
different ways. | confess | read some
trash. When l get novel that con-
slider in this class | read the last chapter
first. Then | read the next to the last
chapter, and SO on until finish the first
chapter. I find that the only way in
which to enjoy such books. If read it
straight through from the beginning l
would never be in doubt as to the end
ing. | have read so much of this light
literature that l can always tell pretty
well on reading the first chapter or two
what the outcome Of it will be.
''On the other hand, if begin at the
end my curiosity is aroused to a lively
pitch. Here | have the unraveling of
misunderstanding and the restoration
to happiness of all the worthy people in
the book. But l cannot tell how the
doubts and differences came about. One
can anticipate the close of such novel
near its beginning, but not its beginning
near its close. So l read the chapters in
reversed order with continued pleasure :"
