across the way the use of our dictionary
we were unable to determine exactly
what he meant, but after wrestling
with his article for some time we came
to the conclusion that he was finding
fault with us for not having enumerat-
ed all of the iniquities OF the Democrat
ic party. We would be delighted to
accommodate him but lack of space
prevents. A good writer could not do
the subject justice between this time
and winter.
Alex Stewart, of Wausau, was in
this city Tuesday. AS is we'll known
Mr.. Stewart is a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Congress IN
this district and as up here looking
after his chance to secure the vote OF
Villas county in the convention. The
Republicans here are we'll acqualnt-
ed with Mr.. Stewart, his numbering in
terests having often brought him to
this city and in contact with the bust
mes. men, and they all feel very kindly
towards him, perhaps more kindly be-
cause better acquainted, than towards
either Of the other candidates mention
ed His business interests are also
identical with those of this community
which also adds to the feeling.

neat little park on Wall street just
east of McKenzie's residence. The
O'Connor estate offer the land re-
quired, about three blocks, at a very
reasonable price, one hundred and fifty
dollars. A very handsome park can be
made at trifing expense. There is a
natural depression in the center and it
is the intention to fill this from the
water works making an artificial lake
to be encircled by fire drive. The
balance of the ground will be cleared
and seeded. In clearing the ground
care will be taken to save evergreens
and it will take but a very short time
to make really handsome park. The
plan is to raise the necessary money by
subscription and the projectors, some
of our most influential business men,
think that it can easily be done. We

Senator German calls the income tax
an emergency tax" What is the tax
on sugar?
A good title for history OF the
present Congress would be ga Deal in

By the way, what has become of the
''tax on the poor mans little dinner
pail' which so worried the Democratic
party in 1892?

If the sugar trust gets the thing
through the Senate it should give the
biggest free ':candy pulling'' ever seen
on the continent. It can afford to do
it.
If the Senate committee, appointed
10 investigate the sugar trusts, really
means business it has got a big job on
it's hands. To thoroughly inve stigate
the trust means an investigation of the
Democratic party from Grover down.

What a great friend the Democratic
party is to the working man, Not con-
tent with cutting down his wages it
now seeks to make his cost of living
more by putting tax on one of the
principal articles of his food, sugar, to
benefit the sugar trust.

The refusal of Mayor Kock to be
candidate for governor this fall is a hard
blow to the small-bore democratic
papers throughout the state. He has
been the especial target for their guns
for the past four weeks and now his
withdrawal has made it only so much
ammunition wasted.

Is there something in that "Wilson
Bill' shat makes its advocates sick?
Word comes that "Gorman and Wilson
both have gone home sick" No politi-
cal dose has ever made so many mil
lions sick over simply the thought of
being compelled to swallow it as this
one. And yet it is sugar-coated as

Two years ago we heard good deai
about civil service reform from our
democratic friends. They were its
great friends. They never tired of
talking about it, but lately they have
been very silent on the subject. They
have tried every means in their power
