The Manitowoc Dairy Board opened
last Wednesday with a good gathering
for the initial meeting.
Favorable crop reports have depressed
tie grain market and wheat was lower
last week than ever before.
Il looks very much as if the experience
of the spring of 1892 with floods would
be repeated this spring. Low lands are
quite badly flooded,
Albert LanGre.h now uses 600 acres of
land in this county and an equal amount
in Sheboygan county. He will be a very
busy man during the summer.
OF late years. except in 1892, farmers
found ditching almost unnecessary. This
year there will be some drowning" of
| crops unless the land is well ditched.
One can always tell when times are
| busy on the farm, from the absence of
Charley Hall il the city. He hasn't been
seen on the streets of Manitowoc for fully
| two weeks.

A CORRESPONDENT of The Chronicle
who signs himself tx" has a great deal
to say about the Shove trial. When a
writer makes such serious charges as the
one in question does, he should not con-
ceal his identity. 1t is no exhibition OF
courage to shoot from ambush.
What The Pilot had to say of the Shove
| UIIal was uIcUaIeu ~ no one nor soUu.-a
by pressure" The anonymous cores
pendent has 20 more sympathy for de-
positors who lost their money IN Shov e's
bank than The Pilot has, and if there is
any possible means by which 1t could be
recovered there should be no discontinue
ance of effort in that direction. This
differs widely from demands for punish
ment which will benefit no one
Intention is an element of crime. Shove
had and has such overwhelming conf
dence IN his own business sagacity that
be could not believe that anything under
his management could fail. He d1d not
know that he was insolvent though that
fact would be as clear as the MONDAY
sun to any other person who had know
ledge of the banks condition. His con-
ceit prevented him from recognizing a
fact that was indisputable. II The Pilot
| could believe that Shove took money from
deposltors when he knew that in dong
| SO he was rObbing them, 1t would insist
upon his punishment, though it would
not ascrlbe improper motives to those
who thought differently.
So great was his confidence in his abl-
| lty to retrieve disaster, that even after an
assignment had been made he expressed
the belief that if he was permitted to re-
sumo control of the bank he would be
able to pay dollar for dollar, and he
actually INDUCED the hope that his cred1-
tors would permit him 20 manage the
assets of the bank. The results to de-
posltors of this great confidence in him.
self were fully as disastrous as If he was
willfully and criminally dishonest. But
he was not so In purpose. He saved
nothing for himself from the wreck. II
he had been desIgnedly dishonest he
would have put something by where it
would have been safe for his own use.
But everything went to carry out his
grand scheme,-a monument to himself
as the correspondent aptly observes.
The result of his trial is practically a
conviction. While it is not punishment
sufficient for actual dishonesty whereby
so large sum of money was lost to the
people of the county, it Is such for the
nature of his defalcation. The doctrine of
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
does not comport well with 10Th century
civilization when urged by sense of loss,
except to punish criminal motive. The
prosecuting attorneys have done their
duty we'll and under adverse circum-
stances. III they had had on the trial the
energetic assistance of which the COM
munication in question Is IA promise of
what y could have rendered, there might
have been conviction, absolute as well as
practical. But coming ex post facto, If
is not of much use,

EDITOR PILoT:-Your last issue calls at
tention to contemplated railroad from

Where are the boomers that SO indus

feet of open sewer (canaD at the lake

arouse enough enthusiasm and Mantle
woc pride by using that Sheboygan rail
road scheme DIS lever, that most of our
citizens would be onlytoo anxious to bond
themselves to subventlon another rail-

Koch has finally yielded to the solici.
tation of friends and will be candidate
for governor. The announcement comes
in the stereotyped fashion which all car-
dldates employ to conceal desire and give
their candidacy the appearance of reluct-
ant assent to a popular movement ID
their behalf. Koch's candidacy shows
how the pendulum Of republican OPINION
has swung within the last few years, and
how the degrading influence of expedi-
ency will BRING about an abandonment
| of principle. koch's strength Is due to
the fact that he opposed the reelection
of Gov. Hoard. He is an ordinary man,
has little or no personal popularity
| throughout the state, and but a very
| limited acquaintance. But he Is the
choice of that party whose interests he
| deserted in 1890, and for the very reason
that he did desert.
Any palaver as to business and execu-
tive ability is hypocrisy as rank as the
announcement of yielding to solicita-
ton" &c. The republican party wants
| to share in the assets of the defunct Ben
nett law, end for this reason and this
only, has 1t taken up MIR. Koch strong
with the odor of treachery to the party
which now bows before him and cries
| 'peccavl"

EDUCATIONAL.

Supt. Patzer goes TO Chiffon to-day to
condnct teachers institute 10 that city
which is TO last two days,
Supt. Viebahn was elected president CT
the City Superinterdents' ASSOCIATION at
the meeting held in Milwaukee last week.
The attendance at the teachers meet
ing held at the north side school house
o. this city on Saturday last Was very
large. In the afternoon President Albee
addressed the teachers in that scholarly,
thoughtful way for which he is noted.
President Albee has a strong hold upon
the teachers of this county and his ad-
vice and interest have been quite intluen-
tial in the educational progress of tie
county.
One of the Important matters with which
the county board will have to deal at its
meeting next week is provision for a
training school for country teachers. Il
Is one of the most important things con-
nected with education which any county
board in the state has had to deal with
and it is hoped the board will deal with
it in broad and liberal way. The need
OF such school Is apparent to everyone
familiar with the condition of our schools
THREE years ago Martin Hanson was
| out at ball il Stadler's hall in kos-
suth. When he started for home he
| found the cushions OF his carriage smear
ed with ordure, All attempts at finding
| the perpetrators proved futile for the
time. Last week Deputy Sheriff Pierce
| learned who the parties were and had
| them arrested. The first one arrested
'peached" on the other two. All are
| now young men some of them occupying
quite respectable positions. One of them
settled the criminal proceeding against
| him, but the others secured ap adjourn
ment and will fight the case.
The carriage belonged to Herzog Bros.
/ Hanson had offered reward of $50 for
Information which would lead to the ar
rest of the guilty parties. A suit for
damages will likewise be commenced
against the parties.
1t seems that Hanson was not the per-
son whom it was designed to ipjure and
his buggy was befouled by mistake. The
first proposition was to take off the nuts
of the wheels and thus allow the buggy
to collapse, but one of the boys objected
to this as being too dangerous.

III Charles felker was not reported in.
correctly by the Inter Ocean on Monday
last, then he has lost that power of lopi-
cal analysis for which he Is Justly noted
The analogy between an INDECENT lot Of
laborers marching to Washington TO de-
mand support from the government and
lobbyists proceeding there with well
equipped trains to demand subsidy in
the shape of protection, must be patent
to all who are honest in their thought.
To attribute the financial panic to un-
certainty on the tariff question is to argue
that uncertainty is more Injurious than
realization OF the worst that could hap
pen. II such condition is made possible
by change in tariff legislation. then are
we constantly on the brink of a precipice
and this condition is due to the protec
tive tariff.

THERE is probability that Gov. Peck
will be appointed one of the receivers OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad. This
would make necessary his resigniug the
governorsnip. As there is at present no
lieutenant governor, Secretary Cunning
ham, IN the event of Peck's appointment,
would fill the position ex-governor for the
balance OF the term, There are a great
many people throughout the state who
would like 10 see Tom" in the guberna-
torlal chair. He is one of these men
whom promotion improves. He mas even
on republican authority, made the best
secretary the state has ever had and
this office was always well filled.-he
would likewise make a conscientious
and scrupulously exact governor.

TIE Ford du Lac Journal suspended
publication last week. Its publisher IN
announcing as one of the causes Of sus-
pension, lack Of support by democrats,
furnished the best reason possible why
the paper should cease TO exist 4 news-
paper which relies upon its political COM
pleXlon for support deserves to die. The
democratic party is under no obligation
to support any newspaper, and a paper
which can exist only by means # party
patronage IS no use to the party. Intel
igence, industry aud independence will
make newspaper pay if there is room
for 1t, and party support Will come when
the paper merits 1t. To plead for it is a
good reason why it should be withheld.
The very necessity for doing SO is a mark
that the paper is undeservlng To run a
newspaper is business anG only leglti-
mate business methods should be adopt
ed. The paper which dies meets just the
fate 1t has earned. The party organ Is
not unlike the professional politician.
Its days will not be long in the land
which the Lord has not given it, and it
is good thing for the press of the coun-
try that such is apt to be the case.

BARRING the roster scandal, which is
child of republican parentage adopted by
the democratic party, the administration
of public affairs by the democratic state
officers has been the best the state has
known. 1t is true there las been too
little concealment of bossism. In this re-
spect the democrats are not as shrewd as
the republicans. There is not a more
boss hidden party IN the world than is the
republican party of Wisconsin. But the
bossing is always kept under cover and
things appear to work smoothly. There
is a large balance in favor of the demo-
cratic administration of the state if the
