Senator Sherman has written a
book and is at present enjoying the
distinction which Job desired to con-
fer on his enemy. He has given Boss
Platt of New York and Charles
Foster of his own state a very black
eye for the part they played in the
national convention of 1880 which
resulted in the nomination of Gar
field. An attempt has been made TO
make il appear that he reflects upon
the martyred president, but this he
distinctly disclaims, and as far as the
extracts printed go they seem to bear
him out. He does not, however,
hesitate to say that he was betrayed
i'm his own camp. The discussion has
brought out considerable unwritten
history in the shape of interviews
with the delegates, some of which are
musing. Our own Senator Sawyer
saws. for instance, that he went to
Garfield and told him that he could
be nominated: that Garfield, being a
man of honor, told him that he
would rather be shot than be nomi-
mated, for, if nominated, he would
never be able to satisfy Sherman's
friends of his loyalty. Innocent old
"Uncle Phileter went Immediately TO
the Wisconsin delegation and urged
them to vote for Garfield. Why he
wanted Garfield shot he does not say.

We have before us the report of the
State Bank Examiner on the cOndi-
tion of the Prescott Savings Bank OH
the Both of August last. The cash on
hand with which to do a banking
business was $12.OS. The "loans and
discounts" amounted to $35, 13l .0J
and consisted of demand notes given
TO the bank by A. G. Probert, the
president. and bearing dates from
December oath, 1891 to April IL, 1893.
Interest on these notes was endorsed
as IL fell due, but corresponding with
each date of payment of interest there
appears an oYerdraft of a like amount
by Mr.. Probert. In other words, Mr..
Probert seems to have started the
bank and conducted it for the express
purpose of getting the money of the
depositors for his private use; and as
the interest fell due on his individual
notes he drew still further on the
funds of the depoSitors. 1t was a
rascally proceeding from beginning to
end, and it was high time that the
legislature placed banks under public
supervision. With an efficient bank
examiner Mr.. Probert would not
have been able to rob the community
TO the extent he did.

When any other argument is want
ing the Milwaukee Journal shouts
back at the Republican papers, 1.-THE
Bennett Law We suggested some
weeks ago that some English papers
in Milwaukee were showing an
OfficiOus and unbecOming anxiety to
be considered the champions of the
foreign element of that city,-even
more zeal than do the German papers.
The Milwaukee Journal says this is
reviving the Bennett Law issue. The
Journal resents every effort to en-
force any law having for its purpose
the control, or regulation of the liquor
traffic. We are not discussing the
wisdom or folly of such laws, but,
while in existence we believe every
law should be enforced, and we be-
lieve further that the foreign born
citizens of the state agree with us.
The Milwaukee Journal, however,
takes issue with rs and says this is
reviving the Bennett Law issue.

But little interest is manifested in
the several states where elections are
to be held this fall, and very little
national significance attaches to the
result. In Utah alone is the question
of the national congress affected.
The constitution to be submitted for
statehood, if adopted, carries with the
ticket the state legislature, upon
which will devOlve the election of two
United States senators. The falling
off in registration in New York as
compared with former years shows a
want of interest in the election in
that state, the registration being
POO, 900 outside of the metropolis less
than last year. Even in the city of
New York, where Tammany is using
herculean efforts, with Old-time
measures to get back into power, the
registration is slow, presenting fears
that the Tiger may win against the
forces of good government. The
canvas there is chiefly upon the issue
of politics or the reverse, the para
mount question being for and against
the Sunday closing of saloons. The
success of Tammany, however, is
contemplated by the democracy as a
force for the control of the state in
1896.

Eighteen Hundred Million Miles.

Lost" we find these lines:
"Thence, full of anguish driven,

From pole to pole, traversing each cOlure:
On the eighth returned, and on the coas'

From entrance or cherubic watch, by stealth
Found unsupported sway"

Our friend Ed. Coe of Whitewater
is being favorably mentioned for the
position of chairman of the republican
state central committee. There is no
truer republican in the state than
Ed Coe, but we do not see any par
ticular necessity for the appointment
of chairman at present. The chair
man is properly elected by the con-
ventions and the party better be left
untrammeled to act when the first
convention meets in the early spring
to elect delegates to the national con-
ventiOn. Mr.. Coe is at present a
mem Der of the board of normal school
regents and makes a good member,
whom we would hate to lose. If APP
pointed chairman he would almost
necessarily have to resign his position
on the board. There is no great de-
mand for a chairman at this time,
except by those who might want TO
use his influence for their own pur-
poses. but, if that be their motive,
they better take some other man
than Coe.
