The Platteville News adv ances what
it regards as two very cogent reasons
why Duncan McGregor cannot expect
to win in the gubernatorial race,
namely, that he is not politician nor
a wire-puller. The News ought to
know that these are the very facts
that give McGregor's candidacy force.
Why should the people of Wisconsin
want wire-puller ia the executive
chair? Are not high character and
marked ability of more Importance
than political trickery? This is the
peoples year. They forced the NOM
ination Of Mckinley and win see to
his election. McGregor is the kind
of man the people want for governor
and he stands as good chance to re-
ceive the honor of a nomination as
most of the other distinguished gen
tlemen mentioned. 1t is because ne
has no unsavory political entangle-
ments that his name has been re-
ceiyed with such general favor.

Mckinley at Home

his habits of living have not been
changed since he was young attor-

takes very little exercise. His daily
walk to his mothers house, which is
about a half-mile from his own, is
about allthe muscular activity he gets.
He does not make use OF wine or Ii

ZIONIST, and he has no desire to enforce
his own habits on other people. He
smokes four cigars day. having late
IL prescribed this limit, finding he
has been smoking too much. His
social recreations consist in going out
with his wife to some neighbours house
to take tea and spend the evening,
but a great many people come to see
him. and his house has always an in
viting atmosphere of informality and
friendliness encouraging TO men ans

The Mineral Point Tribune seems
determined to be on the contrary side
of everything this summer. Now
that the counties of the Southwest
seem generally disposed to unite
around the candidacy of Duncan Me-
Gregor. the Tribune seeks to disrupt
the union by urging Calvert Spensley
to come out for governor. Come,
Bennett, get out of the gloom of dole
ful dumps and enjoy the sunshine
of sensible, neighborly, good feeling.
You will enjoy life better.

Milwaukee Telegraph: Make no
mistake in selecting a candidate for
governor. Nominate man above
suspicion; nominate man who will
not be under the necessity of placing
himself under obligation to men who,
If occasions requires, will use him for
their selfish ends. Nominate a man
with mind: with a conscience;a man
of experience; a man who cannot be
frightened, driven or bought to do
that which will attach disgrace to his
party or do wrong to his state.
Sound doctrine and well expressed.
But in addition our candidate should
be an available man, representative
of the whole party not the exponent of
a fraction, a man that can unite and
harmonic all elements of the party.
That man is Duncan McGregor of
Platteville.

Substitutes for the saloon.


The saloon is degrading form OF
social enjoyment, but it is real form.
It offers 50 much to the life of the
poor that at least one skilled observer
in Boston has remarked, in the course
of this investigation, that If were a
question between the saloon and no
poer-man's club he would wish the
saloon to stay. The substitute for the
saloon in order to survive, must give
more resources Of sociability than the
saloon gives, and compete with it
on its own terms. There must be no
hint of patronage or of missionary
zeal. There must be he same tone
which prevails in the rich-man's club,
"a sense of proprietorship, Coo fort
which tempts to patronage, resources
of athletic life. games which are OF
real interest, literature which is not
discarded rubbish of the benevolent,
light and liberty, and self-govern-
ment; and for this form of institution
there are already among the working
classes obvious and often pathetic
signs of long-suffering expectation and
desire. Professor Francis, G. Peabody,

SPECIAL POINTS TO NOTICE.

we are not trying to put off an old
out-of-date atlas, but offer you the
very latest 1896 edition for the same
price the book was formerly sold at.
The merchants pledge their business
honor to quote the same price to cou-
pom holders as to others.
You do not have to buy goods you
do not want or need, but purchase
only the usual necessities of life. The
Atlas has 1872 pages, 12x15 in size. 1t
has over so railroad and county maps
OF all the states and territories, show
ing even the smallest towns.
There are more than forty of the
principal cities of the U. S. showing
names of streets and prominent
points. over 200 foreign countries
infinitely laid out. Chronological
history of the U. S. with maps. Il
Illustrated description of domestic and
foreign lands. Statistical charts and
tables of useful information. Alpha
betical index of every town in the U.
s.. showing six things about each one,
ETC., etc. 1t is impossible to give an
intelligent idea of what the atlas con-
tains, and the value it will be to every
home.
It must be seen to be fully appreci-
ated. A representative of the pub
Usher will call on the people of this
vicinity and give all an opportunity
to examine it.

The expression. 10 to / as used in
the press to-day means the free and
unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver, the silver dollar being sixteen
times as heavy as the gold dollar.
1t means a law that will allow anyone
to take any amount of either gold or
silver bullion to the minis and have it
coined. entirely free or at nominal
expense, into legal tender dollars, but
with the express condition that sill
yer dollar shall be only 16 times as
heavy as a gold dollar.
To state it another way, the 10 10
| now desire to have sixteen ounces of
silver coined into the same
number of dollars that one ounce of
gold makes and they want the gov
eminent to do this coming without
charge, for any one who brings the
gold or silver metal.
The difficulty with the scheme is
this. one ounce Of gold bullion is worth
more than 30 ounces of silver bullion
SO shat ii sixteen ounces of silver are
made into as many dollars as one
ounce of gold the silver dollars will
in reality be worth only about one-half
of what they pretend to be.
The result ofsuch legislation would
be harmful to nearly everybody except
silver mine owners and money spec
ulators Its not the purpose of this
article. however, to show the folly OF
the 16 to l advocates, but rather to
state clearly the question about which
there are so many incorrect notions
atloat.

For many years most OF the emery

Greek islands. Its value for cutting and
polishing has been known since the be-
ginning of history. Very crude methods
are in use for obtaining this substance
for market. Enormous fires are built
on or against the rocks. which are then
broken or cracked by throwing Jets Of
cold water against them. Emery has
many uses, among which are its en-
ployment in polishing and cutting. Be
