Another Good Candidate.

Two years ago ex-senator L /.
Kidd, Of Prairie du Chen, was urg-
ed by many to become q candidate
for governor but dechusd - defer
ence 70 an apparent general senti-
ment that the nomination OF Col
Jno. {. Spooner was the highest
party wisdom at the time. The sit
uation being entirely different now ,
Mr.. Kidd'- friends seem intent on
bringing him out. Very truly aud
forcibly they urge that as member
of the legislature and chairman Of
the claims committee for many
years, be acquired a knowledge Of
state affairs excelIed by but few
men in the state, and demonstrated
by his remarkable care and high
sense Of honor in passing upon
claims presented for consideration,
that the public interests could not
be iuuusted 10 safer or cleaner
hands. If the nomination falls to
Mr.. Kidd it will be well for the
party and the state-a selection Of
one Of the very best from among
many very good.

they undoubtedly do, then the cut
should be made from the large sal-
aries Of the high officials, as well a.
meagre wages Of the employees.
There would be justice IN this and
he effect Of it would be salutary.
,dr. Taylor might have added that
peculiarly Of the inconsistency
was that Judge jenkins, who issued
the order forbidding the men to
strike, seems to regard $4,000 a
year TO each Of the receivers, which
must come out Of the proceeds OF
the bankrupt roads, as moderate.

she would 90 from place to place in

Another great democratic reform in
the civil service has been consum-
mated. This week $50 republican
clerks 10 the pensions bureau,
many Of them veterans Of the war,
were reduced regardless of their eff
fciency, and 200 democratic clerks
in the same establishment were pro-
NOTED for no other reason THAI that

Representative Msiklejohn, Of
| Nebraska, is after the administration
with little pension resolution that
will come very close to conyicting
Mr.. Cleveland Of misrepresentation,
either intentional or through lack OF
proper information, in his annual
message 70 congress. In a pre-
amble to the resolution Mr.. Meikle-
I john recalls the language used in
the presidents message of Dec. 4,
1898, and copies the order of the
commander-in-chief of the g. A. r.
quoting Mr.. CIeveland's statement
that thousands of neighborhoods
have their weIl-known fraudulent
pensioners, aud recent developments

conspiracies to accomplish pension

report at once TO the commissioner

commissioner lof pensions Is here
by respectfully requested to furnish

a pension who are not entitled to
the same under the law. The com
missioner will have hard time
complying with this order, because
there have been no such reports,
for the very good and sufficient
reason that there are no such IudI-
yduais as we'll known fraudulent

an insult TO every American citizen
