Passing Away.
BY Il. II. REED.

o beekon the beams of the setting sun
Passing away. away,
Ere the golden glow Of the day is done
Passing away, away
For the halcyou hope that kfndled the heart
In the fragrant hour of dawn
Has failed TO perform its perfected part
And its sweets are drained and gone.
o cling to the cloak of the nymph of cheer
Passing away, away,
Lest the soul she leaves be sombef and dreaT
Passing away. away,
For the tender touch of her soothing hand
In the buoyant days of youth
Engendered the dream of a purpose grand
And yearnlng search Tor truth
o. whisper word to the winsoms child
Passing away. away,
In crazy craft to the ocean wild
RAISING away, away:
For the breezes blow and the pillows break
Aud the -.lbeamS sink to Sleep
But the Sallor-lad will never awake,
And the mother-heart viii weep.
o slacken the steps OF the sainted form
Passing away, away.
Till her soul shall learn that my heart is warm
Passing away, away
For the life will fade in the mothers breast
And the blossoms pale and wan
win winnow perfume to her endless rest
When the veil OF gloom Is drawn
o list to the tread of the ailnless throng
Passing away, away,
Like the rambling notes of the maids song
But 1.-THE selfish stres N WITH the night win blend
When the fIppaI4t ia1Dt is DER
And the nightingale not sound will send
10 solaee the waillng shore.
o swift are the days of the college year
RAISING away, away,
Aud softly we go with sigh, a tear,
Passing away. away
But hearts that are choking with chill regret
Tor the peaceful pleasures gone
VIII learn to eXult In their tTiimpls vet
And welcome the useful dawn.

Report of Judiciary Committee, House
of Representatives, on II. r. 5246.

One of the important measurse now
awaiting action in Congress is "A bill
designed to make better citizens of
immigrants coming TO this country,
and TO lessen the number of undesir-
able additions to our population.
This measure known as III. r., SAG,
wasintroduced by Rep. VIM. A. Stone
of Pennsylvania, and has been favor
ably reported to the House by the
Judiciary Committee.
In addition to present requirements
of law, the immigrant is compelled by
this bin TO secure from the consul or
other representatives of the United
States. nearest the immigrants last
place ~ residence, certificate, show
ing That the representative has made
an investigation concerningthe immi-
grant, and that the immigra mt is not
one of those excluded from this
country under its present laws or any
law that may be adopted. The follow
ing, quoted from the report of the
Judiciary Committee, will give some
of the reasons why every citizen
should favor this measure:
The purpose of this bill is to pre-
vent the criminals and paupers of
Europe from being sent here as immi-
grants. Statistics show that much
TOO large proportion of the immi-
grants now coming here are incapa BILE
of self support. by the last census,
| the percent. of persons born in foreign
countries is l4.77 per cent. and yet
this census shows that 20 per cent, of
| the white prisoners confined in jails
and simple prisons are persons of
| foreign birth. The total number of
white convicts in our penitentiaries
whose birthplace is known, is %, 440,
composed of 1915 native born and
4,725 foreign born, showing more than
! one-half OF our white convicts are of
| foreign birth. Our benevolent insti-
| buttons contain $685. inmates by the
| last census of which the
foreign born compose n per cent.
The total number of the white in
| mates of our poorhouses is 3d.
| 900. of which number y .64s, or little
over 81 per cent, were born in foreign
countries. These statistics show that
with a foreign population of 14.77 per
| cent. more than half of our white
penitentiary c0nyicts and more than
| half of the white inmates of our poor
| houses, are foreigners, and prove that
of the immigrants coming here during
/ the past few years, too many of them
are deficient in morals, and are incap-
able physically of self support. :
| Foreign countries not only encourage
| immigration = : of criminals and
paupers but use public money to pay
their expenses here. This fact seems
| TO be a sufficient reason why 50 large
a perez ntage of immigrants 50 soon
| find themselves in our prisons and
poorholIses. The means adopted
| have been found wholly inadequate TO
| keep out of the country those really
| included in the excluded list. The
| superintendent of immigration states

Judge Hans B. Warner for Governor.

1t is in the air that Wisconsin is
to be redeemed from democratic rule
or misrule this fall. The revolution
of 1892 based upon democratic
promises and misrepresentation
was followed by such direful results
that all eyes are turning, as the only
refuge, towards the party which
saved the nation and brought it up
to condition of prosperity such as
it had never before enjoyed. To-
day the heart of the Nation il with
the grand old party, and who shall
say that it has not been made better
by defeat. The Jonahs have all
been pitched into the sea, the mug
wump slough has kindly cicatrized
and men who are Republicans from
principle and not for revenue are its
leaders. The principle of protection
to American labor and industries is
more firmly fastened in the hearts
of the American people than ever
before. Now what shall prevent
Republican success this fall? Moth
ing but the grossest stupidity on the
part of Republican leaders in the Sc
lection OF candidates. In Wiscon-
sin there can be no excuse for mis-
takes. Already the politicians are
casting about for candidates and
some one has been suggested for
nearly every position. This shows
at least one thing and that is that
we shall not lack for material.
Whileso many honored names have
been suggested for leader, we wish
to present one-a man who will not
only make a good governor but a
good candidate, who would have no
defensive fight on his hands, whose
record will bear the closest scrutiny,
who belongs to no clique or ring,
who represents no faction, who is of
the people and strong with the
people. This man is Judge Hans
b. Warner. He is a man with a
strong and positive character and
yet has no enemies. For the last
three months he has received letters
from nearly all parts of the State
urging him to become candidate.
Why not place his name at the head
of the ticket? Few men are better
known throughout the state. He was
elected Secretary of State in 1877 by
a majority of 1000. In 1879 he
was reelected by majority of 81
600. He won noble record as
Secretary, he would win a noble
record as Governor Let it be Hans
b. Warner.-Pfeyce County Herald.
The JOURNAL joins hands cord
tally with the Herald in the support
of Judge Warner, our only objection
being to losing SO good a judge. Few
men have achieved success under so
many disadvantages and few have
better deserved it. Loyal ever to
his country, faithful soldier, an
honest official and good citizen, he
deserves and will receive our sup
port.

Our town clerk has established his
Office over g. Thompson's store.
An agent from the postoffice de-
partment was here last week looking
after the mail routes. He seemed to
favor change in the schedule for the
Baldwin route so as to have the mail
connect better with the trains on the
main line, and the establishment
of the route between here and Els
worth. If these changes are made it
gives us little show for a route be-
tween here and River Falls.

Individualism and Socialism.

Ever since man secured leisure
enough from the struggle for exist
ence TO think, and especially to advise
his fellows what they ought to do,
statesmen and thinkers have been
divided into two classes, individualists
and socialists. The theory of indi-
vidualism is that the purpose of gov
eminent is to give every man fair
chance to make the most of himself
by protecting the life and possessions
of the individual from violence OF
theft. The socialistic theory is that
a state or nation is great family
over which government is to exercise
paternal care. 1t may not go as far
as communism, which puts all earn
ings into common fund, but it holds
the government ought to assist some
of the children by taking from the
others. An outgrowth of these ideas
is the proposal to have telegraphs,
telephones and railroads owned and
managed by the government. The
lindividualist claims that in European
states, where this is done to some ex.
tent, the results are not promising
The railroads of our country have been
| built and managed on the individual
| plan, and we have the largest and
finest systems in the world, among
which the Burlington route stands
pre-eminent. For maps and time
tables of this famous line call on your
home ticket agent, or write to w. J.

Paul. Mimi.

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.

MILWAUKEE, April "a, 1894.
The weather of the past week was
generally favorable to the growth of
vegetation; temperature and sunshine
probably slightly below the average
and in most sections too wet for the
greatest work, but weather TO cause a
hardy growth which will the better
Withstand possible late frosts. Winter
grain is reported in better condition
than the previous week and early
sown spring grain is coming up strong
and healthy. Sowing of oats, barley
and spring wheat has been finished in
some southern counties and is well
along in most of the central ones.
while the northern counties are pre-
pairing, and the close of the week with
favorable weather will find much seed
ing done.
Grass has been growing finely and
pastures are generally far enough
ahead for sheep in all southern and
central countries, some even report
sufficient pasture for cattle Reports
of damage TO clover are still given and
there can be no doubt that the winter
proved too severe for il in many sec
tions.
In many of the southern and GEN.
trail counties potato planting will be
taken up this week, a few early pota-
toes being already in the ground. A
large acreage is to be planted in cen
trail counties.
Flowing is being done for corn
where the small grain has been fin
ished. Some farmers have even
planted, but these are only in very
favorable localities. Much work will
however, be done the last of this week
and the first of the coming.
Fruit trees are budding in southern
and southeastern counties.
