The Oshkosh Normal school is this
week celebrating the 18th anniversary OF
It's organization. During these % years
1t has been continuously under the ad-
minlstrntlon of President Albee. Miss
Swart Is the only other teacher now a
member of the faculty who was employed
the first year the school was organized.
There is no other educational institu-
ton 10 the state which has done as much
IN furtherlng the cause of education. Its
influence has penetrated every section of
the state tributary to it. 1t has not
been intermittent but constant and per-
suaslve. Every school has felt it and
has been benefited thereby. 1t WAS
kindly IN its manifestation. sympathetic
in its action.
The record of President Albee Is some
thing without parallel; not for tie length
OF continuous service as president, but
for his devotion to the work he under.
took, which never faltered He took a
personal interest in every student, and
his almost paternal care did not cease
when the student quit the school. His
sympathy went with HIM and this fact
always gave the young teacher courage
In battle against difficulties. Mr.. AIbee
was always with HIM, urging perseyer-
ance and conscientious performance.
Often did the hand of tine silent monitor
raised IN remonstrance prevent the COM
mission OF an error. as did the whispered
word of encouragement give comfort and
assurance. His students knew he took
an interest in them, worked for their
good and was unselish in his desire that
they succeed. This is why his presence
was felt 10 every school room presided
over by student of the Oshkosh Normal
school.

PRESIDENT MAHoN has returned from
Detroit and announces that he has re-
celVed aid from the labor organization at
that place for the Milwaukee men who
have lost their places. His having done
this for men who lost their positions by
following his advice, is one thing to his
credit. But it is poor compensation for
the men who would not need to depend
upon donations had they returned to
work when they found the strike was
failure. They are III a position now to
Judge who their real friends are and who
offered the best counsel. BY the way, is
President Mahon's salary still running?
Has he struck?

A New York paper has been delving
into matters connected with the Nc
/ Kinley law and has made some interest
ing discoveries. 1t says that the three
/ features of the law which gave it special
notice was the tin plate schedule, the
sugar bounty business and The reciprocity
/ clause. Senator Allison of Iowa was the
author Of the tln-pate measure. Con-
gresham Gear of the came state, pre-
/ pared the sugar bounty part of the bill,
and Senator Aldrlch OF Rhode Island
wrote the reciprocity clause. Fortunately
for Mckinley the law bora his name and
hard times did not Immediately follow
after the law went into force.
/ Now as to the three special features IF
the bill which are most strongly COM
/ mended. The TIN plate industry Lever
amounted to anything ana no prosperity
came TO the country through the attempt
to force It's growth. A few concerns
started up but soon collapsed as every
thing will which relies upon something
outside Of its own merits for sustenance
The tln-plate industry is on more solid
basis to-day than when it was being
spoon fed by Mckinley protection.
There is no good reason why a sugar
planter should receive q bonus direct
/ from the treasury and the same be denied
those engaged IN different branches OF
| agriculture. There is no justice. IN taxing
the man who raises barley to pay a bonus
to the man who raises sugar cane.
The reciprocity feature OF the Mckinley
law was the only thing in it approaching
merit. But that stopped short of being
| deserving. 1t was simply a squint at
free trade, but only with certain nations,
and those with whom trade is most diff
ficult. If ii is wise to trade with one
nation why not with another? The South
American republics are among the chief
competitors of the agricultural classes of
this country. But trade with them was
to be encouraged though they would not
buy pound of the products OF our soil,
and discouraged with England which is
the heaviest purchaser of everything the
| farmers ralsel This Is the law which is to
raise the price of wheat by clrcumscribing
| the market! It Is return to this law the
| farmers are asked to aid in bringing
about.
Here is in brief the basis of McKinley's
reputation. Can any one point to any
thing he has done that has an iota of
merit IN 1t? Can any one quote sentence
he has uttered that has a bit of promise
IN 1t IN showing that the man has any
broad Ideas on the leading questions of
the day?

The convention which met at the conrt
house in this city to select delegates to
the democratic state convention to be

THERE are few counties in Wisconsin

questions. Republican papers naturally
pronounce them straddlers. But IL was
