ally resorting to them being shot
down by soldiers ordered out by
President Cleveland. Of course
Mr.. Grottkau knows that nc
persons in this country have ever
been fired upon by soldiers for
striking, but only when strikers
were mobbing, manning and kill
ing working men who refused to
join in strike, or were destroying
property and otherwise defying
the laws.
Mr.. Grottkau's solution of the
labor question is the adoption OF
the socialistic state, when the
means of production will be owned
by the government, and all work
done and paid for under the
direction of the government. But
if men who work for wages now
are slaves they would still be
slaves if that policy were adopted.
The slavery does not consist in
receiving wages but in being
obliged to work to gain iveli-
hood, and the socialistic state
offers no prospect Of a relief from
compulsory toll. There is a strong
prejudice against work on the part
Of many people, and it is suspected
that those who listen to Grottkau
and other agitators of his class
with appreciation, fancy that
socialism will, in some way, re-
lieve them of the odious necessity
of earning their bread. When
Mark Twain, as a young man,
attempted working in the mines
out west, he said ut is this work
ing between meals that is wearing
me out" The people that delight
in Grottkau and his kind are those
who shrink from working between
meals and between drinks.
The socialistic state, if realized,
will not Danish hard work from
the world. If work is slavery it
will not put an end to slavery.
Instead, it will make the people
the real slaves of the state. Uni
versal suffrage will not avert such
a result unless the people show
more wisdom in the choice of
their agents than at present
Sentinel.

The Feeble Minded Home.

The following is taken from the
Madison correspondence in the Milwau-
kee Journal of April 25th:
"The home for the Predetermined has
had several cheerful twists during the
winter. Originally the scheme was to
pack the state board of control so that
the school would be erected at Marsh
field, but the deal leaked out, and
raised so much of noise that it was
thought best to abandon it. Then
Wausau had a good chance, but that
was all dissipated when Attorney Gen
eral Mylrea questioned the constitp
tionality Of the eX-treasurer laws attire
they had been approved by the
governor, and il retaliation Wausau
was ground under the executive heel,
and the institution placed in the
category Of 'trading stock" finally
appearing as factor in the slaughter of
the hopes of La Crosse in the senate.

GROTTKAU AT WORK.

Mr.. Paul Grottkau has come all
the way from California to instruct
the so-called workingmen Of this
state respecting their rights and
the methods they should adopt to
secure them. He is more prudent
and suave in speech than formerly,
but in substance his teachings are
the same. The wage worker he
regards as slave. The man who
has acquired property is thief
or robber; what he possesses has
been stolen from the wage worker.
Thus the wage worker is taught
that he would be abundantly
justified in resorting to violence to
recover what he has been robbed
of, but Mr.. Grottkau does not
advise such course. By no means
He tells his hearers to organize
and vote themselves into power,
when they will be able to confis-
cate the capital of the country,
Strikes have proved a wrong
method, he says, those OCCASION

in the cases of the ex-treasurers?
They cannot look the Posi-, which
supported all of them to the ex-
tent of its might, squarely in the
eye and say that it was for any
other purpose than to invite
support in the way Of votes.
Having gotten them, to the extent
Of 10000 plurality, do they think
they are justified in saying by
their acts that all pledges lapsed
when the votes were counted? Or
to combine the interrogative with
the affirmative form, is it their
purpose to say, in the words of a
defunct local statesman-defunct
because he said so-"you had
your say election day; now we've
got ours" One would almost
think so from the action now
completed.
Finally: The state law-making
and laW-Consummatlng power
were not even consistent in their
action. Had they been SO, they
would have taken the bull by the
horns, so to speak, and enacted
into law an omnibus bill, includ-
ing relief to ex-trea5urers Guenther
and Harshaw also, to the extent of
the excess of interest, already paid
over to the state. These men
were ruined, as the favorite phrase
is, in having been obliged to pay
more than twice the interest
money received. Are men already
ruined less entitled to leniency or
justice than others in process of
being ruined? Or is it because
Mr.. Sawyer, bondsman, who paid
most Of the judgments, does not
need the money? If so, that
would be the Populistic idea,
expressed through Democratic
congress, in the income tax law.
Or again, are the Golfers, equally
plethoric, of Messrs. Pabst, Pritz-
laff and Phster more sacred to the
state than Mr.. Sawyer's? If d
bill had been passed, treating all
of the eX-treasurers alike, in re-
funding to them the excess Of
interest, would that not amount to
a complete verihcation of the
charges of the Democratic press
last fall and stoutly resisted by
every exponent of Republicanism
from one end of the state to the
other? It would look SO to a man
up a tree. To our bucolic mind,
the action now taken is even more
censurable because Of its discrimi-
nation.
So much this paper has said,
not because of any lack Of
allegiance to the Republican party
but rather because Of its excess Of
observation-disclosures it feels more
concern for the party than the
individual. Moreover, it has an
unfeigned regard for Governor
Upham and sat up many a night
to contribute its little to his
election. His action in the present
case ONLY shows that q good man
may sometimes go wrong-that is,
in our opinion.

Condition OF Trade.

Business began May IN better condi-
ton than at any other time since the
breakdown in May, 1898. Smaller in
volume than then, it is not now shrink
ing, but charging. The chief obstacle
to a more complete recovery is the
anxiety of many to pluck fruit before
it is ripe. Holders of some staples
have lifted them so far as to prevent
their marketing; consumption of
materials in some branches is checked
by advances which cannot be realized
for finished products workers in some
industries are demanding wages that
cannot be paid out of any business in
sight. In spite Of labor troubles and
speculatiyes excuses, the outlook
brightens; money markets continue
healthy, and with heavy sales of rail-
way bonds abroad, the deficiency in
public revenue, $8,742,8 $40 in April,
causes no apprehension.
Demands for full restoration Of wages
to the level Of 1892 have closed many
W OOlCIl IIIiIS, anu lIlICdltu " ElOSG
others employing about 5000 hands at
Olneyville and about Providence, and
have arrested work at other mills of
some importance already. Similar
demands are made in cotton mills Of
Massachusetts. The strike which closed
iron furnaces at New Castle, Pa, has
just ended without success, but other
strikes have stopped numerous works
about Pittsburg. Pocahontas coke
workers are on strike, and one is
threatened by Alabama coal miners.
Exaggerated accounts Of recovery in
business, SO often published and some
times prompted by manufacturers
themselves, make it not entirely strange
if operatives fail to see that the BUSH
ness done in the great industries is
without profit, and much of the work
Ing force is still MISUNDERSTANDING

GOVERNOR UPHAM.

T. B. Reid, of the Appleton
Post, was a delegate in the state
convention which nominated Gov.
Upham. He worked for his
nomination and voted for him.
This is what he says in the
Appleton Post Of recent date
about him IN the treasury cases:
His Excellency, Governor
Upham, on Saturday, signed the
bills relieving eX-treasurers Baetz,
Kuehn and McFetridge from all
liability to the state. We think
the Governor made a serious
mistake. We had hoped that he
would prove to be the kind of
official who could perform an act
personally painful to him in the
discharge of his public duty. We
do not think his approval of these
bills is due to any lack of courage.
We believe rather that his action
sprang from his kindness Of heart.
However, if this rule had always
governed, Major Andre, the spy,
would have gone unhung.
The potent argument used in
pushing the cases of the ex-
treasurers mentioned was that they
would be ruined unless the relief
sought for were granted. It is
also proper to add that their
petitions were along the line Of
justice. This the PosT has never
denied. On the contrary, it has
freely admitted that to enforce the
judgments in these cases would
involve great injustice, and there
is nc paper in the state that would
more freely cooperate in any
movement, involving no violation
of a previous pledge, to afford
them relief. This it has said
repeatedly. Its censure of the
Legislature for passing these bills
and the Governor for signing them
rests solely on the ground that
the Republican party had put and
estoppel upon itself from taking
precisely tie action which it has
taken. Will the defense be made,
as we think likely, that the end
justifes the means? That is
purely Machiavellian logic. If
that is to be the rule, there is no
act which the Republican party,
being the sole judge in the
premises, may not do-no previous
declaration that it may not violate,
We are not considering this
business in view of what possible
political effect it may have. Indeed,
the chances are thatit will have no
appreciate effect in this direction,
because the Democrats voted for
it in about the same proportion as
the Republicans. And we wish to
remark, parenthetically here, that
we have no word of fault to find
with the former, because they
were under no self-imposed re-
straint to do differently. We
simply hold to the conviction that
when party, fully enlightened as
to all the circumstances, voluntar-
lily gives a pledge to the people in
any matter, it should stand by it,
though the heavens fall. And
what, in the opinion Of Governor
Upham and the messieurs, the
Republican members of the legis-
lature, all Of whom were anxious
to get place on the last Republi-
can platform, did their party give
its promise to the people for, to
the effect that it would not inter-
fere with the verdicts of the courts
