THE dem ocratic sta'e convention,
which met in Milwaukee lest Wednes-
day, he'd w. F. Villas for Chairman.
The senator made long speech re-
viewing the work OF congress and
eulogizing Cleveland. OF course be
charges everything that has gone
wrong in this country to republicanism
and the Mckinley bill. It is to his
interest TO do so and when the senator
interest is at stake. there meyer can be
any doubt as to the tenor Of his speech
or his actions. The great trouble with
Mr. Villas is that he cannot prove bis
assertions any more than he can change
the course of the seasons. The people
OF this country know just what the
democracy promised to do if they
would only elevate it 10 power, and
they also know and know well, that
tho SO promises have not been re-
deemed. They also remember that
when the Nick nlev bill went into eff
tect the demo ratio leaders
preached and wrote all kinds of disas-
t, as coming to the country because
Of it But the disaster did not come.
On lnS Goutldl9 plOsptA ~ Etlgucti
everywhere AID every body but demo
cratic office holders was happy. Now
they have had the reins of government
for nearly two years and every body
knows the condition OF things. But
now. Just try US again. we're coming
cut all right, we can fix things, please
give rs another chance" is their beg
eing cry. hoping that they may 50
delude the masses again that these
great prophets Of Baal may get new
lease Of life in high places. It's fun
for them cut how is it in the mean time
for the people at large? They have
been rainbow chasing Just long
enough, and they don't want any more
''soft sawdern IN theirs. They want
business in place of democratic theory.
They are done fooling with false gods
such as Was, Gormsn & Co., and
there is 10 be smashing of the idols
just as fast as they can be gotten at.
The mechanical labor of the country is
barring Its arm to strike the blow next
November and the cry is down with
the false prophets, ard down they
must come.

At the Democratic convention last
week in Milwaukee. Geo. W. Peck was
re-nominated for Governor, James
|O'Connor for Attorney-Gel raj, John
Hummer for State Treasurer and Thos.
Cunningham for Secretary Of State,
each for a third term The other
present state officers got the bounce.
A. j. Schmitz, Of Manitowoc, was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor,
W. II. Schulz, of Baraboo, for State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
Geo. G. Prescott, of North Greenfield,
for Railroad Commissioner, Olaf K.
Skaar, of Viroqua, for Insurance Com
missioner Gov. Peck and Olaf Skaar
were the only two not nominated by
reclamation. II. Gasser, Of Platte
vile. placed John Winans, Of James
town, in nomination, and John
Hummer was also q live candidate.
The third ballot, however, settled the
business, giving Peck 1856, Winans 119,
Hummer So. Winans started in with
II, and was climbing right along after
Peck. Some of the nominees made
short speeches, but Senator Villas as
chairman relieved all the rest of any
burden of speech-making. His was a
long one. Our readers will notice that
there was almost no competition for
the offices to be filled. What can be
the reasonP All, they have seen the
handwriting on the wall, and know
the Interpretation thereof.

TRADE is picking up" but the indi-
cations of revival are neither general
nor strong. because business men do
not yet know how the mongrel tariff
will operate. They know there is to be

TO be- wondered at, because some of the

Spectator Feb. 24th.)

Some statements published by Lieutenants
Gwynne and Morley make it perfectly clear
that the fight at Weeima, IN Sierra Leone,
in which the French Lieutenant Maritz was
killed. arose from q blunder on both sides.
The British troops, 400 strong, alllbelonging
to the West India Regiment, were marching
against the Sofas, a 1narauding tribe subse-
quently wiped out, when they were mistaken
by the French, who were only 40 stSng, for
native raiders led by Mussulmans, WAo wear
white dresses, which, as it CHANGED, the Eng
lis.i officers, who were reused from sleep, were
also wearing. The British losses were due
to the terrible effect Of the ma2azine-ride,
the bullets from which poured like hail for
the first two minutes, and the only pleasant
feature in the affair was the steadiness Of the
men from the West Indian Regiments, who
formed up at once and returned every midi
Vidual shot" The moral Of the whole busl-
ness is Of course that in Africa, as IN Europe,
two Powers whose territories march must
either find or create a visible line OF demar-
cation. Ordinary officers cannot recognise
frontiers drawn only on maps and detlne by
degrees of latitude and longitude. There
must be something to see, and the difficulty
is to settle on something which can be as
easily fixed as t~elegrapb-poSts. That should
not be beyond the competence Of the engin-
GERS or the resources OF tAc colony.
At a meeting of the Royal Statistical So
Getty on Tuesday evening, Lord George
Hamilton read a paper on Ocean Highways,
their bearing on the Food and Wages Of Great
Britain" Ne have dealt elsewhere with It's
main line Of thought-the vital necessity for
keeping access to England by sea u%ninter-
rupted-but may mention here the manner in
which Lord George Hamilton treated the
often-expreSsed opinion that in case we lost
command Of Tie sea We mi hit obtain our
food supplies in neutral bottoms and 10y The
transfer Of ships from our flag to that OF some
neutral Power. This Lord George Hamilton
described as a vain hope. "EXperience
showed that a neutral flag was not in
itself sufficient protection to neutral
vessels trading to the ports Of a belligerent
unless the neutral had behind it a Navy
strong enough to ensure respect for that
flag" That IS sound sense. We must never
forget that, above all others, the rules Of
International Law were made to be broken
States may agree to them and observe them
in peace-time, but war is a form Of anarchy
and during its existence might is virtually
the only right.

WHAT is NEEDED.

The revision OF the laws OF Arizona is
urgently demanded of the legislature
about to convene. 1t has become an ex-
ceedingly difficult matter to ascertain
what has been repealed and what re-
mains in force. Then there are numer-
GUS notifications or amendments that
greatly complic2te many of our most
important statutes. Since the revision
of 1887 cur election laws have been en-
tirely changed and the procedure in
criminal cases have been materially al
tered. The statutes concerning cor
porations chattel and real estate morta-
cages have been amended, and lack of
harmony exists throughout the statutes.
All of the old, dead material remains in
the statute books which make the pur-
suit of knowledge much like seeking a
needle in hay stack. But aside from
all this confusion of tongues or statutes
there is another serious difficulty. Most
of the session laws enacted between the
revision of 1887 and now are unobtain-
able.
A new lawyer finds it difficult for love
or money to equip himself for the prac-
tice of his profession while the laitv is
in the dark. The presumption that
every man knows the law Is a violent
one under such conditions. Scarcely a
week passes but applications are made
by outside parties for the missing vol
umes. All foreign corporations doing
business in the territory are naturally
anxious to have means of information
at hand regarding the statutes of the
territory, and so long as these links in
the chain are missing they are no bet
ter off than if they had nothing on the
subject.
1t will readily be seen tha7 his is a

matter that should be taken up at the
opening of the assembly and a compe-
tent commission Immediately appoint
ed which will at once get to work.
A neat, well arranged, compact, con-
veniently indexed edition of the
statutes embracing the laws of the next
session will be great boon to the ter
ritory, and if the assem- bly, will only do
this much it will have done something
worthy of commentator.
