achers." ..Shall the State recognize

teachers .'Shall the State recognize
their quack doctors. too?" he whines.
Why not? we ask, if it is proper for
the State to recognize the doctors
turned out by the University. The
advocates of State aid to the Normal
Schools make statements. but fail 10
furnish reasons or facts. The truth is,
the State has no business with the pre-
paration of any man for the special
calling by which he gets his living.
If the State wants the service of any
man, it should see to it that he is COM
petent before he enters upon his duties,
but leave his preparatory work to his
own efforts. The Normal Schools of
Lebanon, Ohio. and Valparaiso, Indi-
ana, have more students in TIE course
OF the year than all the State institu-
tions of a. similar character that we
spend so much money upon. They
depend for their success upon the eff :
cheney of their work. They draw no
money from the State. yet they thrive,
while our State schools pine and dwin-
die, IN spite of the pap they receive;
yet it is this class of schools that the
Normal School lobby now at jefferson
City denounces as '.Quack Normals!"
The Normal Schools and State Uni
versity are barnacles. Like our infant
industries. they wanted just little
help to get started; their cry. since
their foundation, has been the cry of
Oliver Twist, continually, "more!"
'.more!' If any need for them existed
they would long ago have been self
supporting. Common sense would
suggest that if a business, whether I'M
der the control of the State or an indi-
vidual, cannot be made to pay, it
should be discontinued; but business
principles are not considered for a mo-
ment by these colonies of tax-eaters
who have effected Judgment in the
body polite. They have a soft thing,
and can afford to take the money they
receive from the people to hire a lob
by to extract more. The Normal
School lobby must go. or show where
the money comes from that keeps it in
good hustling order. Men do not go
to jefferson City to log-roll, either for
their health or from motives of patriot
ism. Again we ask to see the amount
expended by the University and its
adjuncts upon the lobby, and to be in
formed as to just what fund it comes
from.

The States Barnacles.

The lobby at jefferson City interest
ed in securing for the State University
and the Normal Schools as much of the
peoples money as they are willing to
part with without rebellion, acquired
nearly two columns of space on the edi-
torial page of the Jefferson City Tri-
bune of last week. As consequence.
it's readers were treated to quantity
of very unpicturesque clap-trap and
flap-doodle. We oppose State aid to
the State University because we believe
that it is as much the duty of the citi
zen to educate himself as it is to fur
nish himself with clothes. We have
seen nothing in the arguments of the
friends of these institutions to change
our views. They talk glibly about the
s.duty of the Legislature to provide
literally for the support of the State
University" They assert that any
other course will not only inflict dis
grace upon the State, but directly tend
to impair its reputation and progress.
1t is calmly assumed that if the tax
payer does not open his pocket-book
schools will disappear, learning be
lost. and the dark ages will return. 1t
is as calmly assumed that State Nor
NAL is the only school of that kind
that can exist, and the training of
teachers for their special work will at
once cease if the State refuses to keep
them going. 1t is assumed that every
private individual who starts a school
of this character is a ''quack." who,
instead of receiving aid from the State,
ought to be sent to the penitentiary
for daring to intrude upon the territory
set apart by it for its pet institutions.
The writer in the Tribune grows quite
hot about these private institutions.
He complains that some friends of the
University are doing it great injury
by lending their support to an effort
that is being made to .'put the .quack
normals' on the same footing as the
regular State Normals in licensing

MIR. FILLEY is supposed to be at the
bottom of the opposition to the out
rageous demands of the State Universe
ty, and his enemies think he has mis-
taken public sentiment. Mr.. Filley, it
is safe to say, knows whats o'clock.
Public sentiment regards with compla-
cency any reasonable expenditure to
upbuild the common schools, but when
money to the extent of quarter of
million is sought to be taken by force
from the treasury to instruct young
men in Greek and Latin and in special
professional work, any one who resists
these moss-troopers will be backed by
the people. Perhaps Mr.. Filley un-
derstands this. He is far too smart a
politician to allow his party to plunge
into reckless expenditures for educa-
tional or any other purpose. Because
it received two hundred and sizty-four
thousand dollars in 1898 on account of
the fire, the legislature thinks that it
does not follow that the University
should receive like amount in 1895.

The lobby for the State University
threatens to hold up all appropriations
unless that institution gets at least a
quarter of million, say the dispatch
es from jefferson City. Why not get
a kit of burglars tools and break into
the State Treasury and take as much
as you want, gentlemen? OF course,
the University cannot be put off with
a beggarly seventy-two thousand dol
lars, when it asks FOR two hundred and
sixty thousand. The legislature must
be disciplined until it gives these bar
nacles all they ask for. The people be

The Duty of Democrats.

There is but one line to be pursued
by Democrats in the future. We take
no stock in the cry that the party is
dead.
When Democratic principles disap-
pear and are in reality dead, liberty
will be in bad plight in this land.
Its principles are SO thoroughly en-
bedded in our institutions that to
destroy the principles of jefferson ana
jackson will be to destroy the govern
ment. The rude shock the party has
received in the past twelve months by
the treachery of Cleveland and his
gang, is not new experience to the
Democratic party. Benjamin F. But
Ter was as treacherous in 1860, when
he split the party in Charleston and.
with the same kind of backbone that
Cleveland exhibits, daily voted, solita-
~ and alone, for jefferson Davis for
president, scores and scores OF times,
not that he wanted Davis for president,
but because he was manipulated to do
just what he did. We know where he
landed, and that is just where Cleve-
land and his crew will land.
Because he has outraged every prin-
ciple of the party that hOnored him, is
no reason why we should crafty him
and his friends, as we did Ben Butler
in 1860, by doing just what was plann-
ed for us to do. The party is weak,
indeed, if such duplicity can destroy it.
AS we'll might we have expected this
American republic to surrender when
Benedict Arnold showed his love for
British gold in preference to our indie
pendence.
We did just what Ben Butler and
men of his class, called democrats,
wanted done in 1860. Now, don't let
US repeat this same folly.
Notwithstanding all we suffered by
the treachery and teachings of that
class of men, we have seen our party.
the embodiment of great principles,
founded by jefferson and Jackson, tri-
umphant all over this land. There
never were as many Democrats in the
United States as in 1892. It is true
our leaders have surrendered to the
money power, but the money changers |
once took possession of the temple of !
the Lord while the Savior was On earth. |
Was it destroyed because they did? |
He did just what will have 20 be done
to save our party, and when this is
done. who can complain at the party?
what party Or what principles promise
more to the people? Aud what party
in the past, when we had honest men
in Office, ever did more for the peoples
The party had better remain out of
power a century than to go in on
straddle, with a dishonest mugwump
leader who is as subservient to the
enemies of true Democracy as a slave
ever was to his master.
The party is too deeply rooted in the
hearts of the honest people of this land
to be lightly laid aside for another Re-
publican experiment. The Republican
party has been rebuked so often by the
people that it relies now on craftiness
rather than principle. Like satan of
DID it is always trying to tempt its SUI
periors. Simply because some OF our
leaders have surrendered to it's blan-
dishment is no reason why the party
should be Observation-Disclosures Consti-
tHtiOu.

SENATOR MILLS is quoted as saying
that s'the time had come when a man
had to choose between the President
and the Democratic party, and that he
had concluded to remain in the Demo
cratic party" Judgment goes for the
right party, but 1t has been delayed
too long to be of benefit to Mr.. Mills.
Had he reached The same conclusion
in 1897, before he went to Ohio and
helped pull Jim Campbell from the
platform prepared for him by the peo-
pie of his State, he would have been a
presidential probability in 90. As it
is, he Is simply the senior Senator
from Texas serving his last term.

THE bond syndicate cornered gold.
Mr.. Cleveland ordered a bond issue
and pave it to the Rothschilds. These
bonds bear per cent, and run thirty
years. This syndicate disposes OF
these bonds at profit of from five to
sixteen million dollars, over which it
feels quite clipper. This is gift pure
and simple to them. because the United
States treasury refuses to do what the
bank of France, the fiscal agent of the
French government, does every day
pays its notes in gold and silver in
equal parts. How much longer the
American people will stand this species
of highway robbery remains to be
seen.

SECURED GOOD START.
Loceers Around Marshheld Are Far
Ahead in Their Work.

MarshfeId, Wis, Dec 7.-[Special.1-
With the thermometer registering from
4 to below nearly every night the past
ten days has witnessed a great revival in
the logging camps. 1t was not supposed
at first that hauling would commence
for some time yet, but by the use of ice
roads a considerable amount has been
hauled to the landing this week Of
course to be so early iE the field hauling
needed certain amount of preparatory
work early in the fall when roads were
made suitable for ice roads. This means
that the ruts had to be cut and ready
for water as soon as freezing nights set
in Nearly all the large loggers went
to this trouble and are reaping the fruits
Of their labors, for better and faster work
can be done among the pines with but
very little snow. 1t requires small
amount for skidding and that fell some
two weeks ago. The amount of skidding
is considerab BILE, more than last year at
this time. Last year but little hauling
was done until after the holidays and
now with the present weather and ice
roads the average logger will go into the
new year with third or half of his
winters work done. The mills which
have been shut down waiting for new
logs will be ready to start next week.
On the whole every Indication points
to good winters work.

Green Bay, Wis, Dec. 7.-[Special.]-
The Sunset club which will give its sec
ond banquet at the Hotel Straubel Mon
day evening, gives promise Of becoming
one of the most important organizations
in the city. 1t is, like the recently or
ganized Woman's club, modelled after
the Sunset club of Chicago, and includes
in it's membership, which is limited to
fifty, the names most familiar in busl-
ness and social circles in the city. One
of the chief purposes of the club is the
promotion of general social intercourse
and with tnis will be combined the dis
cussion of matters affecting the public
are calculated for the good of this COM
munity. A committee arranges pro-
gramme for the foytnightly banquets and
appoints a new committee to succeed it
self at each meeting. Sometimes the
programme is entirely informal. At
other times some outside person is in
vited to address the members on sub
ject of general interest and occasionally
a member suggests topic for debate.
At each meeting q new POSTMASTER is Sc
lected who presldes for that evening
There are no officers or dues and at the
banquets each member present settles
his own bill, so that if he doesn't attend
it doesn't cost him anything.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTS.
o. NJ. Turner Loses His Suit Against
Sayre at GAINESVILLE.

Sayre at ,Janesville.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Dec. 6.-[Special.]-
The jury in the circuit court came in
this morning with verdict for the de-
PENDANTS in the case of O. NJ. Turner.
president of the Dane County bank of
Stoughton, against T. E. Sayre and the
Merchants and Mechanics bank of this
city. The testimony showed that Sayre
borrowed $500 of the GAINESVILLE bank,
his mother going his security and the
bank receiving a mortgage on quantity
of leaf tobacco to secure her from loss.
Later Sayre borrowed $500 of the
Stoughton bank. giving them mortgages
on real estate, and on the same tobacco
on which his mother held the mortgage.
These mortgages were given, it was
claimed, to raise money with which to
buy wheat at Chicago. This proceeding
and previous deals were denied by Tur-
ner Turner also claimed when he filed
his mortgage that he learned for the
first time that the mortgage given the
GAINESVILLE bank had not been filed, so he
claimed that his mortgage took prece-
dence. The question for the jury to,
decide, therefore, was whether or not
the fact that the Turner mortgage was a
second mortgage was left out of the
document by mistake or not, and which
mortgage should be first paid. The
GAINESVILLE bank did not figure in the case
as defendant, they being secured on
their note by Mrs. Sayre.
