Now, the best way in the world to
viii an election is to deserve to win,
aud the surest way to defeat is to de-
serve that If the republican party
aaIters in regard to sound money it
ou 3ht to be defeated, and we hope and
1rust that it will be, and soundly. If
it starts on any such road the sooner it
is brought up with round turn the
better for both party and country. And
tho thing to do now is, not so much to
hammer the democrats for being dem
octats. but to give republican leaders
to understand that if they play with
this fire they will get burned in their
own proper persons, and that early and
conclusively. The place to begin house
cleaning is right back of your own door
yard- The neighbors' houses can be
attended to aftepward.

WISCONSIN NUGGETS.
A WEEKS HAPPENINGS TOLD IN
FEW WORDS.
The State Legislature Is After the Rail
roads-Immense Sums in Taxes Being
Evaded-Age of Consent Bill Passes
Pickens' Suit.

In the assembly last week Mr.. Hall
presented a petition for legislative
investigation of the earnings Of rail-
ways. The resolution sets forth that
there is strong ground to believe that
portion of the millions unaccounted for
was earned in this state, on which the
state would be entitled to a tax Of per
cent It provides for the appointment or
a committee of three to investigate and
report to the legislature the accuracy OF
the gross earnings returned to the state
for taxation It mentions particularly
the Northwestern, st. Paul and Wis
conSin Central roads. The assembly
committee on interpretations has re-
ported for indefinite postponement the
bill to take away the exclusive fran
chise of the Milwaukee Gas Light COM
pany. Petitions embracing $3.50 sigma
lures were presented in the senate last
week favoring the passage of the Mills
bill to secure purity in elections. By
vote of 73 to % the assembly passed the
bill to prohibit the collection of taxes
in rooms where liquor is sold. The SEN
ate judiciary committee will report for
indefinite postponement the bill making
shares of corporations private property.
ate bill to create a criminal court Tor
ManitoWoc county was passed by the
assembly. The committee on state al
fairs reported Mr.. Putnam's bill recon
structing the state board Of control,
with an amendment in the way or a
substitute which was recommended for
passage, Solliday and McMullin dissent
ing The substitute bill abolishes the
existing board after March 81, 1895, and
creates a new board Of five members.
The committee on agriculture reported
favorabIy on Senator Thayer's bill au"
thorizing counties to vote aid to agr1-
cultural societies. A substitute to the
the assembly by Mr.. ProchnoW. 1t pro
vides $500 fine for blacklisting, and al
lows employees of corporations to de-
mand a written statement from their
former employers concerning their work
and ability.
The important bills passed by the
ass emily last week were the following:
Permitting suit against municipalities
by persons owning property destroyed
to prevent spread of contagious dis
cases. raising the age Of consent to
fifteen years; permitting telephone and
telegraph companies to construct lines
along highways upon the consent Of the
town board Of supervisors; requiring
insurance companies to pay interest on
loss after sixty days succeeding the
fire.

Ba siness Men Wanted.

The near approach to the municipal
election emphasizes the necessity OF
discreet nominations Of candidates for
the several Offices then to be filled.
Personal preiudices and party success
slould be subordinated to the public
good of the city. Candidates for the
'ce4apcil should be representative men,
men. of. business experience and ripe
common sense. The raising and ex
pelsditure of thousands of dollars should
not be confded to inexperienced and
uutried men. 1t is capacity for sbusi-
ness, rather than capacity for talk and
beer that the people demand. This
paper has no preferences to express for
~city aldermen, except that they should
sbe men thoroughly qualified for so inn
poTtant a position.
It is the duty of every citizen to take
a real solid interest in the subject of
gsad city government. Occasionally
a man will be heard to say that he
pays no attention to polltics-that he
leaves that to politicians. This is a
daa3g erous view, for the fact remains
that there are offices to be filled, and
it is for every individual to see that
worthy men are put in office. 1t is
never difficult to find men for the
offices, but it lies with the people to
say whether they shall have them. 1t
is not only the duty of "a citizen to ex-
press his choice at the polls, but to Ell
deayor to get his neighbors and friends
to unite wish him, not by .unkind and
sneering words, but with sound argu-
u,ents and expressions Of honest con-
victions.

What Might Be Done.

MIR. EDITOR wound like to say
through your paper, that I am heartily
in sympathy with what Mr.. Mcintosh
said in his article headed "What is to
be Done.
Ehe saloons seem to have Il death
grip on the young men of Kenosha and
the thing to be done is to exert an in
fuence which will make these dens IF
the devil an unpopular resort for the
young men.
In my judgment, the best thing that
could be done would be to furnish a
place that could be so fitted up that the
young men would be drawn from the
saloons.
The Y. M. G. A. rooms it is true. is
the only place in Kenosha, free from
evil influence, open allday where young
men are made welcome" And they do
draw young men and boys away from
bad influences.
1t is surprising to see what good the
cleaning and repairing of the interior
of the Y. M. G. A. building has done in
the way of increasing the attendance
at the rooms each day and evening.
But what a great amount of good
could be accomplished if Kenosha had
a Y. M. c. A. building which would
be pride to the city. One which would
be attractive both inside and outside
and one that would be fitted up with a
good gymnasium, equipped with all the
modern Improvements.
A neat and attractive Y. NJ. G. a.
building, equipped with modern i'm
provements, would not only be pride
to the city but it would throw out an
influence the saloon could not overcome
and would, by its influence, be the
means of saving many young man
who is on the road to ruin. With. this
sort of a building, public library could
also be carried on and thus make it of
universal benefit to the people of Ke-
nosha. ONE WHO is INTERESTED.
