Mr. Cleveland took another step towards
keeping democrats in office under the next
administration, which will be republican,
when he extended the classified civil ser
vice rules to cover all the chiefs of division
and bureaux, except the chief of the Weather
Bureau under the Department of Agriculr
ture This is taken as an indication that
all the chiefs of divisions in the other de-
partments will soon be given the same
protection The motive of Mr.. Cleveland
would have been less open to criticism had
he made the change before all republicans
had been succeeded by democrats.

EX-SENATOR HIGGINS.

The American people will take the
earlist opportunity afforded them to
re-establish Protective Tariff They
may not enact the same schedules,
but they will enact the principal of
the Mckinley Tariff.
l shall be disappointed if, on that
issue, a majority of the States Of the
South do not vote for the Republi-
can party in 1896. They are inter
ested in the Protection of raw ma
teIials, not in opening foreign com
petition with them. Raw materials
are their finished product.
We will need Protective TaritftO
give to the country again revenues
adequate to its annual expences and
to put an end to a Free Trade de-
fciency.
We will need a Protective Tariff
to avoid the outgo of gold to pay
for foreign goods and settle the in
ternatiOnal balance Of trade, likely
to be against us.
We will need Protective Tariff,
as Indispensable in keeping our sill
yer coinage at parity with gold.
We will need a Protective Tariff
to stop the increase of the national
debt, and to resume again the Repub.
lican policy and achievement of its
steady reduction until it is wiped
out.

League is entitled to the thanks and !
congratulations, on its Tenth Ami

CONGRESSMAN WILLIS.
The principle of Protective
Tariff is in harmony with the funda.
mental laws that govern all good
society. tits the providing for ones
town household" as contradistin-
guished from all other households.
1t is as much the function of a nation
to take care of its citizens as it is of
a father to take care of his family
The law of conservation proceeds BY
successive steps from the individual
to the family. from the family to the
community, from the community to
the state, from the state to the world.
That nation is therefore wise
which becomes preseryative before
it is charitable. The idea is funda
mental to national organization.
Nations are constructed for this pur-
pose chiefly The labor interests of
any people lie at the foundation of
their civilization. As these are pro-
NOTED the nation rises in the scale
of privilege and advantage. The
condition of the United States of
America is an illustration of this.
The condition of the American
masses is better than that of any
other country because of the conser-
walton of labor. A Protective Tariff, /
is essential to the promotion and per-
petuity ofthis condition. Unrestrict-
ed foreign competition means foreign
wages for the laborer and foreign
civilization for the masses. Wages
and prices gauge and measure the
civilization of the world.
Next to personal liberty and free
this industrial problem
holds the front rank. The currency
question, the financial question anb
al other questions must take sordu-
Innate rank. America cannot afford
10 lower the restrictions OF her mar
1et to other nations, until the other
nations raise the conditions of their
abor in relation to America.
The Tariff must be leading issue in

'annot be side tracked either by .

isively in the coming contest, and !;

A Delightful Party.

Young society had one of its brightest
events last Friday evening, when the
pretty home of Assemblyman Wiper
man on Court House street was thrown
open for their amusement, with Ernest
and Richard Wipperman as hosts
Dancing and games were the order Of
the program the young people choosing
the former almost entirely. Two large
rooms and the reception hall were
devoted to dancing and one room was
given for cards. The Symphony
Mandolin Club occupied an alcove in
the parlor and their music was all that
could be desired. At II O'Clock tables
were bounteously laden by Mrs
Wipperman for about so plates and al
made merry with the inner man
Several dance numbers after supper
were concluded with the Home Sweet
Home waltz and the young folks
reluctantly departed. all are agreed
that they had one of the jolliest times
they have ever known.

How to be Facinating.

Doubtless thousands of'young people
ard not small number of old ones,
wish every day of their lives that they
could learn the secret of facinating
others by means of their graceful,
exquisite manners. The secret is an
open one.
1t is only this: Fill your heart with
good will to everybody, and then prac-
tice at all times, the best manners you
know, particularly at home. If you
begin at home, this charming manner
will, SO to speak, get settled on you and
never leave you. Be just as polite to
your sister as you would be to your best
girl. Strive to gain the, good will of
mother, father and brothers and sisters
and children, exactly al you strive to
gain good will abroad.
There is no place for practicing man.
ners like the home circle; no place,
permit one to say, where it will be so
appreciated. It will be cultivation of
heart, mind and body, this endeavor to
feel nothing but affection for the people
at home, and treat them as though they
were worthy of as much consideration
at your hands as if they were the presi-
dent and his family. a

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Speedy Not a Bigamist.

Stevens Point, Wis, March 24.-The
Stevens Point Journal makes a number
of statements to show the incorrectness
of the published accounts of Prof.
Walter Speedy's derelictions, who
recently married Miss Halcyon Horn,
the daughter of Supt. Horn of the
Wisconsin Central railroad. The
Journal says:
THE reports published are so full of
gross misstatements and untruths that
it is only an act of justice to the parties
interested that fair statement of the
circumstances connected with the
| unfortunate marriage of Mr.. Speedy
and Miss Horn should be given. Mr..
and Mrs. Horn and their daughter
Halle, now Mrs. Speedy, have been
residents of Stevens Point for the past
| four years and command the respect of
all who know them. All have suffered
enough from this affair, and the gossip
it has occasioned, without being obliged
to run the gauntlet of misstatements.
Mr.. Speedy and Miss Horn first met In
this city last August, when the former
was here preparing the Kirmess. They
were married at the residence of Mr..
time no concealment of the fact that
Speedy had been divorced from a
former wife was made. This was we'll
understood by all the parties interested.
From here Mr.. and Mrs. Speedy went
to Chicago, and thence returned to
Milwaukee, stopping at the Plankinton
house. While in the latter city a
difference arose between Mr.. and Mrs.
| Speedy, and when they had been
| married about a week Mrs. Speedy
returned to the home of her parents
here. She says that he abused her,
| and that she is afraid to live with him
They have met only once since that
time.
"Soon after the separation Mrs.
| Speedy the mother who lives in Detroit,
came here with view of efecting a
reconciliation. She remained here
| from Thursday until the following
Sunday. Her mission failed, but a
meeting between Mr.. Horn and Mr.
Speedy was arranged. This took place
at the Ryan hotel in St. Paul. Mrs
HON was also present, but nothing
came of it. Mrs. Speedy absolutely
declined to 60 back to her husband
and in view of what had occurred in
loath to have her do so if she had
| wanted to. Mrs. Speedy is now in ST..
Paul, where she is taking course in
vocal music. At the proper time an
| action for divorce will be commenced,
| and no objection will probably be made
on the part of the husband Speedy
has never been arrested, at least since
his marriage to Miss Horn. He is now
in Keokuk, la. The young woman
whom he is alleged to have introduced
here as his mother, was about SO years
of age, and that she is his mother there
is no doubt. The statement that the
mother forbade Mrs. Speedy to bring
her wedding presents home is utterly
| without foundation. Mrs Speedy told
her husband he could have everything
he had given her, but he declined to
take the presents back and insisted she
should keep them. Since then, how
ever, the mother has written for them,
but this was against the express wishes
of her SON."

COrlnENDABLE ~ SPIRIT.

Grand Rapids is about to make a
most remarkable show Of 'hberality il
the reports we hear are true. The city
is arranging to buy a site for the pro-
posed new Jail building and the Reporter
says it is to be "deeded" to the county.
This is truly remarkable in more ways
than one. No one asked it, no one
expected it, no one will feel thankful
for it. The meat of.the whole matter is
to locate the sheriff g residence and Jail
on site which Grand Rapids well
knows WOOD county would not buy at
the present time. 1t is intended to
make the buildings handsome appoint
ments of the city. Later on, when
opportunity is favorable, Wood county
will no doubt reimburse the city for the
cost of the site.
The above item taken from the
Marshfield News indicates and probably
represents the correct feeling of some
of the people of Marsh6eld, but we
cannot believe it reflects the feeling of
the better element. Such reference is
made by one who has no manly instincts
of character and possesses only the
lower elements of selfish character.
We know that the county is able to buy
its own sites and would have to provide
one for it's sheriff house and Jail. The
city asks for no resolutions Of thanks
for it's benevolence in this regard.
They have taken this step in order to
give the county the very best site for
it's new building and they show a
friendly disposition toward the county
IN so doing. Comments like the above
are not liable to encourage friendly
feelings between the extreme ends of
the county. We ask for no leniency or
courtesy other than what is properly
due in the regular dispatch of business.
If disrespect and fighting is the spirit
most desired on the part of our neigh
boring city we only want to know what
nature of weapon they choose.

Centralia Nominations.

The following nomination of city
officers was made by filing nomination
papers instead of holding city con.
vention. While this method has some
advantages it is not so expressive of the
sentiment of the people as a city
convention made up of delegates
elected from each precinct:
Mayor-Nels Johnson.
Treasurer-James Natwick, and Frank
P. Daily.
Assessor-Thomas j. Cooper.
Marshal-William H. Carey, Walter
S. Gardner, James Dolan, Chas. L.
Duncan, John Kollanda.
First Ward-Supervisor J. w. Coch.

Henry Clairmont.
Second Ward-Supervisor L. NJ
Nash; aldermen Fred H. jackson and
William Walworth.
Third Ward-Supervisor John Selma
BILE; aldermen Saul Preston and Clark
Lyon.
The interest is manifested in selecting
city marshal. While the fight we
understand is principally between w
H. Carey and Walter S. Gardner, it is
hard to figure on the outcome. 1t il
thought that Walter Gardner stands the
best show because Mr.. Carey has held
the office several years-six years We
believe. While there is no particular
objection to him as man, they feel be
has had the plum long enough and
ought to step out. For this reason the
business men and laboring classes are
in favor of change. Either one of the
candidates will fill the Office acceptably
We ale glad that there is no opposition
to Mr.. Johnson for mayor. He has
given US good service, been painstakins
and obliging in all his official acts. He
figures for the city's best interests aro
in every way, we believe, a most faith
full servant.

Telephone Rates Reduced

A. w. Runsey local manager of the
exchange in the Twin Cities was called
to Milwaukee the past week to confer
with the officials. regarding certain
changes and Improvements to be made
here. The rents will be reduced 25 to
35 per cent. commencing the hrst of
April. The reductions will be as follows:
Business phones, from 81 to S. per
month; residences, from S. to 81. A
system known as the party line system
will be established here, which gives
lower prices to subscribers using more
than one phone. In case subscriber
rents two or three phones the instru-
ments will all be placed on one line and
the following rates charged: Two or
three phones on one, line $2l per year
each; three or four phones on one line,
SIS per year each; five or six phones on
one line, $15 per year each.
Next week crew of men will be
here to rebuild and improve the entire
system. The central Office will be made
larger and the manner of operating
changed to a later method. New poles
will be put in the place of the old ones
and heavier ones will be used.
This stir and desire to give the people
good service comes from the fact that
the Wisconsin Telephone Company
begin to realize the fact that the people
mean business and will without doubt
organize local company and have a
system of their own. The rates must
come down to 81 and $1.UO If the
| present company do not come down to
these figures they will find themselves
without patrons as soon as the new
company is prepared for business.

Geo. w. Baker for Mayor.

We are pleased to see a disposition
manifested on the part of the people to
recognize the old settlers when select
ing men for the Office of mayor Geo.
Bakers parents came to Centralia in
October 1874 and lived in log house on
the bank Of the Wisconsin river about
where Mrs. w. l.. Jackson's residence
now stands. Here is where their oldest
son George was born the 26th day of
November 1874 In 1856 his parents
moved to this city and purchased the
old homestead in the second ward
which is now owned by G. o. Baker
George being the oldest of three sons
was obliged to assist early in life in
caring for the balance of the children
He has held many minor offices. He
was city marshal in 1867. Member of
the common council 1889 and President
of that body. Member of the County
Board in 1891, and at present holding
the Office of Poor Commissioner. He
has been in the furniture business for
seven years. He is married and his
family consists of wife and four children
three daughters and one son.
Mr.. Baker possesses all the qualifca-
tions necessary for the making of a good
mayor and we believe he will make the
use of all of them in his administration
He is genial, social and pleasant with
everyone; enjoys an outing trout fishing
with the best of them; plays game Of
billiards and whist equal to the best,
and in every way popular fellow.
We congratulate him in his nomina-
ton for that is equal to an election, for
he has no opposition. He has the best
wishes of the REPORTER for successful
and prosperous administration.

Family Reunion.

The home of Thos. Lavaque Sr. at

family gathering on last Sunday. Besides
the younger members of the family,
there were presant four sons and two
daughters, Thos, Louis and Joseph of
La Crosse, Arthur of March, Mrs. j. n.
Daniels of Pittsville, and Mrs. I. B.
Walsh of Eagle River who had not been
together at home for about fifteen years.
1t is the wish of Mr.. and Mrs. Lavaque
that such reunions may be more frequent
in their family.
