The candidates for associate Justice
of the Supreme court-Judge Alfred
w. Newman and Judge Charles M.
Webb are but slightly known in
southwestern Wisconsin and but little
interest is taken in the contest. But
rs Judge Newman's election would
make his righteous decision in the
treasury cases the common law of
Wisconsin, he will doubtless receive a
large vote on that account. The Mil
waukee Journal we'll says:
Judge Newman has every element
of strength which can be claimed for
his opponent, and in addition he
proved himself to be a non partisan
Judge by giving judgment for the
state in the treasury cases when all the
leaders of his party were arrayed on
the other side. The voters of the
party were then with Judge Newman
and are with him now, while Demo
Gratis find in the decision enough proof
of -partisanship to bring them to
his support"

the subject of "The Corrupt Use

advocates legislation requiring the
publication of the expense of candi-

Mr.. Gregory is a high minded po-

The new administration has brought
about a decided Improvement in the
condition Of the national treasury.
The following telegram from Wash
ington, under date of March % shows
that the gold crises is over:
The gold exported from New York
to-day amounted to 100000, and all
of it was taken from the sub-treasury.
The loss of so small anamount does not
even cause comment in the treasury
circles, as the free gold at the COM
mand of the tseaSurer now aggregates
more than S7,00O,000 and the treasury
is gaining gold each day in its ordin-
airy business transactions. The offers
in exchange for small notes is also
continuing very heavy with the open
ing of spring trade. The secretary is
accepting these as rapidly as possible,
selecting, however, those that are most
advantageous. at present there is
not the slightest doubt in official circles
that within the next few months the
gold balance in the treasury will be in
creased to S15,000,OOO of free gold for
all ordinary purposes.

when the sports, who were mostly

Judge McIlhon this title which
was bestowed upon our fellow towns
man, c. W. McIlhon, by Gov. Peck
this week, may sound little strange
to our people at first, but nevert heless
pleasant to the ear of every one who
knows Charlie. The appointment was
made in consequence of the vacancy
created by the death of Judge J. T..
Jones, and in course of political events

he will prove creditable successor to
the late popular Judge of Iowa
couuty's probate court.

Mr.. Snow is known as a wide awake,
far-seeing business man. If elected

Mineral Point has ever had. His
familiarity with matters of public
concern, and his well known careful
business methods especially fit him
for the office for which his friends
have named him.
John Commins, candidate for treas

ed citizens. He is very neat and
accurate accountant, and the city
finances would be safe in his keeping.

several times for this Office, and has
always proved winner. If reelected
he will attend to his official duties
with the same fidelity as in the past.

and well the duties of school superin-
tendent, and his denomination was the
endorsement of faithful officer, who
has taken pride in keeping our schools
up to high standard.

experienced in public affairs, and will
ably represent the city on the county
board.
w. S. Ross candidate for alderman
for the First ward is a man Of real
worth who will carefully guard the
interests of the city and vote right
upon all questions which may come
before him. At the urgent solicitation
of his party friends he allowed the use
of his name for the position.
John Gorgen, candidate for alder
man in the second ward, is an enter
prising business man. He has served
heretofore as member Of the council.
He made good alderman and will
prove good candidate.
A. S. White is the candidate for JUS
tice of the peace for the First ward,
and will make good judge in all
matters that may be brought before
him. In the election last fall he re-
ceiyed home vote of which any citi-
zen may well be proud.
Henry Pitzz, candidate for justice
of the peace for the Second ward,
although comparatively new man
amongst US, is known as a highly de-
serving citizen, and will make faith
full officer.
Richard Venning candidate for con-
stable for the First ward, has been a
long time resident of Mineral Point,
and is known to every citizen as an
honest hard working man. This is
the first time he appeared as a candi-
date for public office.
Thomas Smith is candidate for con-
stable for second ward. He is also
well known and life long resident of
this place and feels fully competent to
discharge the duties of his office.

What Constitutes n Journalis,q

In an address not long since an Eng fish editor gavo it as his opinion that the real test of q good journalist was the ex- tent to which ho was interested in read ing newspapers. A man whO desired to bo journalist should bo universal in his desire for knowledge. Further, the purposes of the modern newspaper would best be served if the young man should fit himself for duty in one par ticular branch or department of journal. ism and then learn all he could about all the other departments.
 Tho editor was right in both surgcs- tions. The person who is fit to be q journalist will toll enthusiastically to lay up gr.at store of knowledge on all subjects. Then he will gradually single out one CT two departments in which he will make himself an expert, for special. ization is tho order of the cay in journal. ism a8 elsewhere. The journalist cannot possibly know too much.
 One other suggestion the British editor should have added. It is that nobody is fit to be journalist unless he can write SO clearly that he can make the most ab- strusc subject plain to the understand ing of the average laborer. That may be said to be another test of a good jour nalist.

How Peace Might Come,

If war is ever to cease, it will come about not by tho action of governments, but through the common people them selves-the soldiers who are food for powder when kings quarrel. There is some sign that at length the common man may refuse to be soldier. At an American trades congress not long ago a resolution was adopted recommending workingmen not to join the national guard. This was a great mistake on the part of the congress, for in this republic every citizen should drill and hold him. self in readiness to fight, not for mas ter, but for himself and his own rights as Q freeman. Itwould be great blund9r to leave the national guard in the hands of tho dudes and millionaires' sons in this country. Then it might indeed be
 lsed in time against the laborer. Still more significant than the American reso- lution, however, was proposition intro duced by Norwegian delegates into the international socialist congress at Zu- rich. It was to the effect that in the event of war being declared an interna- tional strike against fighting should be ordered. If the soldiers of the armies should refuse to fight, if all the laboring men should refuse to manufacture cloth ing, arms and munitions of war for armies, there would speedily Do an end of fighting. It would be hard work to shoot million or so of soldiers for mu- tinv

A Dime Novel Heroine.

If Mrs. Mundis, otherwise Tom King" the desperately wicked and devil ish but pretty and reckless cowboy girl horse thief of Oklahoma terri. tory, were only boy in reality now. as she pretends to be, undoubtedly there would be scores of half baked young idiots of boys who read dime nov els that would run away and try to be horse thieves and mad riders too. But being girl, or rather young woman, it IS not likely that even in these wom- ans rights days many of her own sex can be found that will try to initiate her.
 She seems to be an illustration of how far pure native born "cussedness" will take a woman who otherwise has every inducement to carry herself straight. It is true she was half Cherokee Indian, but her red father was wealthy and educated her well, and he was a man of aristo- cratic blood, as tIndian aristocracy goes. At tho age of IT. she married white mana livery stable keeper and horse dealer of Guthrie, O. T.--and then her
 mad career began. At first she was con- tent merely to ride at full gallop the widest and most savage horses she could find, but that did not content her ambi- ton, and tho next step from riding them was to steal them, which she has been doing successfully for several years. She is dead shot and stole dozens of ami msls before she was caught. After they did capture her she gave more trouble than six men would have done. She es- capped again hnd again. Now they seem to have her safe. however, and tho pros pect is that she will go to the peniten- tiary. While she is in prison she can re- form, and when she comes out she can lecture.
