and fine, and reaches almost 20 the

She wears it high on her head, and
no one suspects her OF such an over
abundance until she lets il fall
around her. She is Obliged TO have
it thinned very often, and there is
enough cut away 10 make plentiful

never misses it.
A young lady student in Palo Alto

color, fine i'm texture and naturally
curly, like the hair OF poeticnl fancy,
il falls in great undulating waves
below the waist like n veritable
mantle Of golden silk.
One woman Of German extraction
has quantities OF yellow-brown hair,
which reaches below her knees, and
yet she can coil IL high on her head
and fasten il with one pin.
Soap and water are the only tonics
used. The color Of the hair seems
t. make no difference in the quantity,
the dark hair being quite "a abund-
ant as the fluffy blond l-rks.

maidens called the "Beritoni Sisters"
whose hair is the envy Of all the
ladies on the block.

DEMOCRATIC PAPER DEFUNCT.

Editor J. r. Bloom Of the Daily
Fond du Lac Journal, in suspend
ing the publication of his paper
the past week speaks as follows:
"Another reason why The
Journal willingly disposes of its
list is this: Its editor and owner
does not feel that support Of
Democratic measures as repre-
scented in the deeds of the present
congress is compatible with his
best judgment. The conduct Of
the party leaders has convinced
him that Democracyin fact is dead
There seems to be no longer a
large and patriotic spirit among
those who represent the principles
If the Journal were to continue it
would of necessity continue as an
opposser of the party of mis-
management. The writer believes
the present congress is a shame
less, incompetent aggregation Of
politicians, who see nothing larger
than selfish interest"

PROMISE VS.. PERFORMANCE.

June p will be the second
anniversary Of the adoption of the
Democratic National platform at
Chicago. This platform declared:
We denounce Republican pro-
lection as fraud, a robbery of
the great majority Of the American
people for the benefit Of the few
We declare it to be a fundamental
principle Of the Democratic party
that the federal government has no
constitutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties, except for the
purpose of revenue only.
AS a declaration of principle
this was interesting; as prediction
it was poor. The platform should
have included this statement:
And we pledge ourselves, if the
Democratic party is entrusted with
the control of the executive and
Legislative branches Of the govern
nent, to substitute Democratic for
Republican protection, to enact a
measure against which every
charge of fraud made against
Republican protection can with
equal truth be made, a measure
which, if Republican protection is
a robbery of the great majority of
the American people for the benefit
Of the few, is precisely the same
sort Of robbery. We pledge our
selves utterly to ignore that
fundamental principle of the Dem
ocratic party which says that the
federal government has no consti-
tutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties except for the
purpose Of revenue only, and we
shall yield to the demand of certain
members of our party that the
constitution be violated in every
other line of our tariff bill.
A party which before election
should thus confess its intention of
living up to none of its principles
would be certain of defeat. What
will be the fate of the party whose
performance has been thus impo-
tently unlike its promises? AS
what has been promised is to what
has been done so is what will be
promised to what will be done.
The kindest thing to be said Of the
national Democracy is that it has
not the courage of its threats

w. III. nylrea for Attorney.

Central Wisconsin is entitled to
place on the state ticket and Mr..
Mylrea, of Wausau, is our choice
for that place. He is receiving
cordial notices from the press OF
his party in this section Of the state
and his friends generally would
like to have him recognized this
fall. The Marinette Eagle in its
last issue has this editorial about
him:
"Speaking Of possible candidates
for the various state offices, the
name of VIM. H. Mylrea, of Wau-
sau, was mentioned for the office
of Attorney General, when a man
prominent in state politics remark
ed, "Well, Mylrea is an able
young fellow and would make a
good Attorney General. The only
possible objection that could be
urged against him is his age, which
is less than go" His nearer
laughed heartily at the "objection"
and informed the politicion that
Mr.. Mylrea was Al last January,
to which he expressed surprise and
said he knew of no objection.
Mr., Mylrea was District Attor-
ney of Marathon county some
years ago, being elected on the
Republican ticket at a time when
the county gave nearly 1000 Dem
ocratic majority. He is an able
lawyer and would make an ideal
candidate. He was born on the
Isle Of Man, Jan. Ist., 1858.
Twenty years ago he wore beard
and looked older than he does to-
day"

and spent his early days on a
farm. He learned the printing
trade, while attending a private
academy in his native city, and
when about 20 years old he came
with a schoolmate to Iowa, engag-
ing in the publication of a weekly
newspaper. On The Dubuque
Daily Times he did his first active
newspaper work which, Mr.. Reid
tells, at first earned him many a
licking" From Dubuque he
came to Wisconsin, and with his
brother, A. J. Reid, founded the
Oconomowoc Badger. Suisse
quently he became associated with
L. B. Wright in the publication Of
The Waukesha Freeman. From
Waukesha he wandered up to
Fond du Lac, then to Menasha
and finally TO Appleton, in all Of
which cities he printed newspapers
In 1877 Mr.. Reid was sent as
American consul to the island Of
Madeira, where he remained until
1883. Since that time he has
identified himself with Appleton
and has been one Of its most use
full and active citizens, identified
with every project that promised
advancement to the city. He has
seen Appleton grow up from small
beginnings into a thriving manu-
featuring city. Thoroughly in
formed on the tariff question in
every phase, he realizes its very
great importance to the industries
which have been means of giving
employment to thousands of men
and women in the Fox river valley
and which have made this one OIL
the busiest, most thriving and
prosperous sections of the state
He was the first to tell the manu-
facturers and their employees that
Democratic victory last fall meant
disaster, but times were SO prosper
Gus and work SO plenty that they
did not believe him then. They
know better now and those who
laughed at his predictions a year
ago are now foremost among those
who are enthusiastically asking
that he be sent to congress to vote
for a tariff that will protect Ameri
can labor from the pauper wages
Of Europe.

Republicans are waking up to the
hopeful character Of the situation
in that supposed to be Democratic
stronghold. Barnes, the present
Democratic congressman from
that district, was elected by a
plurality of 3,oI4; but such has
been the political change in the
fourteen months of democratic
destructive rule, that the republic
cans will sweep the district next
fall and elect a successor to Barnes.
The two most prominent candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for the office are Thomas B. Reid
Of Appleton, and Ed. S. Miner Of
Sturgeon Bay. Either will make
an excellent member, and will poll
a heavy vote. Just now, the
newspapers Of the district seem to
be largely in favor Of the nomi-
nation Of Reid. He is a man of
excellent ability, a staunch, life
long republican, and possesses
those fire social qualities that
strongly attract and attach people
to their possessor. Tom is just
the man to give the right curve to
the great "boot-leg" district to
kick the whole democratic party
into the foul pool of its own
communicating infamY.

The Stevens Point Journal offe

The Stevens Point Journal offers
the following suggestion to all
voters that enjoy and want good
times: From now until the polls
close in November next every Re
publican, every business man, every
farmer, every mechanic, every
laboring man who intends to vote
the Republican ticket, whether he
has before done so or not, should
be politician,-a politician in its
broadcst and best sense. 1t should
be their aim, first to see that only
competent and worthy men are
nominated at the different Repub-
lican conventions, and then when
such men have been nominated all
should give them an active and
earnest support. In this sense
"politician" and patriot are
synonymous terms, for to restore
the Republican party to power in
state and nation is to again place
the country on the high road Of
prosperity.

JOHN &. KOCH FOR GOVERNOR

Ever since the election of Mr..
Koch, as mayor of Milwaukee,
there has been a general feeling
among Republicans Of the state
that he was the strongest man in
the party for the above office. We
believe he is, from the fact that he
possesses all the elements of
strength necessary in a candidate
for that office. We agree with the
Appleton Post in the following:
"With the retirement of Major
Upham the trend Of public senti-
ment here is in the direction Of
Mayor Koch. To such a marked
degree is this the case that care
full investigation has failed to reveal
even a remote suspicion that any
other aspirant will be considered.
And the reasons for this are num-
erous. In the first place the
unanimity with which the Germans
have abandoned their brief alliance
with the party of deception and re-
turned to the Republican organiza-
ton, whose economic and fiscal
policies have developed the re-
sources of the country and the
wealth of the people, is something
that entities this element to the
consideration they ask, SO long as
it can be granted without the least
sacrifice of American dignity.
Mayor Koch was a good enough
man to be given a place on the
ticket two years ago that went to
defeat in the campaign Of falshoods;
he was a good enough man to be
twice nominated and elected as the
Republican mayor Of Milwaukee,
redeeming that city by greater
majorities than had been hoped
for during the present generation.
To abandon him now, after the
withdrawal Of the earlier and popu-
lar candidate who was entitled to
our cordial support, if for no other
reasons than the unselhsh manner
in which he sacrificed his ambition
two years ago in the interest of
unity, and the efficiency Of his
campaign work afterwards-to
abandon Mr.. Koch under these
conditions, we say, might be inter
pretted by the Germans to mean
the use Of their leader while of
service without the hope Of reward
when conditions are propitious.
Moreover, the German clement in
this state has never been honored
with gubernatorial candidate.
This fact of course would not be
accepted as reason why it should
be now, if the gentleman in ques-
ton was mere fgurehead to make
good the deficiency. But respected
as he is by his own Americanized
nationality while honored with the
condolences Of all other classes
attracts popular sentiment towards
him with a force that cannot be
overcome by the individually am
bilious. Mr.. Koch will be the
next governor of Wisconsin,"
