A representative of THE BEE, with a guest from abroad who desired to look upon the panorama of Nature as seen from MT Konalds' slightly castle, visited the place one day, this week. The castle and it's surroundings never presented 8 better appearance. A driveway passes around the castle, and flowers and shrubs add to the beauty of the place, The visitors were most hospitably re- ceived by MT Ronalds, and conducted throughout the entire castle. At the foot of the stairway leading to the second floor, where are located MT Bonalds apartments, the ancient armor has been arranged to show to the best of advan- laQo, Directly at the foot of the stair way, at one side, sits a knight astride horse clad in armor of the ancient days. TIc is already for the fray, but would be an excellent target for our modern sol dier. The ancient spears, swords and other implements of warfare are interest," ing to inspect. The parlor on the south w"-t corner, Mr E3nald5 hes filled up as a Jap4nc7e room. Here one may sit in g"nuine Japanese chairs, under a man. moth Japanese umbrella, while the decorations are of the Japanese order. 1 NIT Epuald3 is an c0thuslast in an- .jquc furniture and is constantly adding to his holdings in this line. Within the last two years he has received many valuable pieces of furniture in New York 4nd on the Continent. For the dining room he purchased a very rare and hand some set. The rooms throughout ar. very handsomely furnished, and MT RonaIds is getting the place now furnish cd to his liking, h tho west wing is q room which he purposes to fit up as d sort of curiosity shop. Already he has secured some ancient chairs and fire place furniture, which he values highly. An other season Mr Eonalds contemplates moving the shedin the rear of the castle, and building wall to enclose the court yard. He has in view improvements on the farm, the planting of more trees and some grading. He expects to remain in Nowtown as late as November I5, when he will go to the south of France to pass the winter, as is hi> custom. He is as enthusiastic as ever over his Newtown home, and declares that a more beauti- pastoral scene, is not to be found in the world, He says it reminds him very much of the old College hill at pough- kecpsie, \. \, where he passed his boy hood,

The explanation is simple. It IS found in that impure blood which is eontin-

AN UNWiSE WAR.

The Green Bay Gazette, judg-
ing from its talk, does not know
ex-Congressman Robert M. La
Toilette, and doesn't know how
serious that interview between Mr..
Sawyer and Mr.. LaFollette, which
took place at the Plankinton House
five years ago, really was. If it
did it would not lampoon Nh.
LaFollette as it does. Mr.. LaFol-
Iette is one of the brainiest men in
Wisconsin; was one Of the best
congressman Wisconsin ever had
and the future Of no Republican
politician was brighter than his
when he resented what he deemed
an insult. He knew what it
meant to him and his political
history to denounce the PROPOSE
ton made by Senator Sawyer in
that Plankinton House interview.
He knew that it meant the bitterest
kind Of a bitter war upon him.
He knew that it meant political
death, for a time, at least, and for
years he has been retired, SO far as
political honOrs are concerned, yet
his work in every campaign since
that interview has been ofthe most
patriotic order and very useful.
Republican editors who denounce
in unmeasured terms Robert NJ.
LaFOllette for the part he took in
that Plankinton House interview,
and for his course a few months
after that, wrong themselves.
They can defend their friend ex-
Senator Sawyer without denounc-
ing Mr.. LaFoIlette, or being unjust
to him. The Republican editor or
the Republican politician who
thinks that Robert NJ. LaFollette
can be killed off is mistaken.
Men with his energy, his brain,
his experience, his talent, his
truthfulness, his love Of justice, his
dauntless courage, are not easily
killed off. He will not be killed
off. He will live to see his enemies
blush for the part they have taken
in the war made upon him.

THE ANTI=BOSS SPIRIT.

One Of the most notable features
in the many political turns Of the
present year is the way in which
the so called bosses" in party
politics have been thrust aside by
the will of the people. Perhaps
there has never been a time in the
history of our country when the
business Of the boss has been so
slow and his reward so little. 1t
has been the case in all parties and
in all the states to a great extent.
Plat, Quay, Clarkson and Mander-
son, and many others, have been
turned down by the popular clamor
for Mckinley, and their efforts to
maintain their political dignity by
climbing on the loaded wagon at
the last moment were little short
of ludicrous. In the Democratic
party, Cleveland has been turned
down in almost all of the states and
his ambition for a gold platform
and party endorsement for his
many blunders has been thrown to
the winds by the same people, who
four years ago were singing for
Grover and clover. Brice, Whit
ney, Carlisle, Smith, and his other
lieutenants, with the single excep-
ton of Villas, have all been
humbled by the people of their
respective states who have broken
from their leadership.
In Wisconsin there is also an
indication that the days of the
bosses and the big ring" are fast
passing, and if not this year done
away with, another campaign will
complete the work. The bosses
nominated Upham and are reputed
to have dictated his policy as
governor, and endeavored to
again force him on the people, but
without success. Fortunately for
the party Gov. Upham had sense
enough to get out of the way.
The acts for which he was so
universally scored were undoubted-
| ly the work of the bosses, but he
had to stand for them and the
attack meant for them was the
attack that forced his retirement.
The feeling against bossism was
never stronger in Wisconsin than
it is today, and at the coming state
convention it will be manifest. In
the coming campaign the people
will have their say and they will
not be at all backward in saying
it forcibly. This sentiment is
daily growing stronger and is apt
to take effect in political affairs
smaller than national and state.
If those who aspire to dictatorial
management are at all wise they
will heed that sentiment. This is
the peoples year, and they are
wise enough and of sufficient
intelligence to vote for what they
want without the interference of a
few who may consider themselves
called upon to direct voters in the
way most favorable to themselves,
