A peculiar case WAS revealed here last
week by the visit of A. 0. Wright To the
county asylum He came here to inyeste.

were proper charges against the state
( He asked Chris Muth to accompany him
on his visit. Chris did so. While passing
through the wards. Mr. Wright had
pointed out to him man who was called
Cal Jones, who had been sent to the state
asylum from this city several years ago.
Mr.. Muth remarked that the man didn' t
at all resemble Jones who had dark hair,
while this mans hair was red. So certain
was he that there was some imposition
that he induced Mr.. Wright to visit Mrs.
Williams, u sister of Jones. When asked
II she had brother in the asylum she

four years ago and was buried at Pontiac.

has been a charge to ManItowoc county.
Mr.. Wright is now conducting an lnvest1-
CATION to determine who the insane man
is and how he was foisted on this county.

here for some weeks at the Methodist

Immersion and the Little Manitowoc was
selected rs the place for the ceremony.
The day WIS by no means warm and the
water was of course ice cold. Fully 900
people were present TO witness the cere-
mony. The bridge crossing the river was
so crowded as 10 make travel across it
impossible and :he converts mad to wait
fully ten minutes after taking their cold
bath before they could take their way

siderable religious zeal to bear the irving
ordeal.
Those immersed were Mr.. and Mrs.
Ives, Mrs. Sarah Mullen, Herbert Benson.
Miss Jorgenson, Mrs. Syler and Miss
busse. No unpleasant consequences
seem to have resulted from the dip.
WOULD 1t not be a step IN the right di-
rection to hold union caucuses this spring
IN the city and quit these everlasting and
petty political fights? We have been
favored in this city in the
character of our city councils, elected as
they are on party lines. Our present
city council is a good careful body,
little slow, perhaps, in moving for public
but thoroughly honest
and wholly free from even the suspicion
of robbery. 1t has done the years work
well.
But that does not justify party noml-
nations. Sheboygan should be warning
to us. Its city council, judging from:the
reports of the papers OF that city, is
thing to point the finger of scorn at.
That city has held to straight party
That is always the curse

should guard against 1t in time and let

Nor a man was there in Washington
to champion the claims af the ManltoWoc
harbor on Wisconsin day before the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors Congress-
man Minor attacked us and we had no
defender. Why Mr.. Minor should 60 out
of this way to slur.. Manitowoc it is not
easy to understand. In a letter to a
citizen Of Manitowoc soon after the
opening of congress he stated he would
do all he could for the harbOr at this
place.
The plans prepared by General Abbott
for the inner Manltowoc harbor have
been approved by the war department
and the harbor Is now fixed as shown on
that chart. A detailed description of the
plan Was given IN The Pilot at the time
the plans we're sent to Washington,
What work Will be done hereafter in this
harbor will be IN accordance with these
plans.

Owing to the desire on the part OF every
harbor on the west shore to secure an en-
dorsement from the Legislature, similar to
that which Manitowoc had concluded to
ask, Lieut.-Gov. Baensch concluded 1t
was rot wise to push the matter. Indi-
vldual signatures OF members were secur-
ed TO the petition and every member Of
the legislature WAS secured with the ex-
! ception of Neal Brown and O. Fl. Officer
who had left for home before they could

The President calls attention as fol

The President calls attention as fol
lows to the Postoilice service:
Our pOstOflice department is in good
condition, and the exhibit made of
its operations during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1896, if allowance is
made for imperfectiOns in the laws
applicable to it, is very satisfactory
The total receipts during the year
were ;SS2, 400 POS. 40. The total expen-
dirures were 500, 626, 296.S4, exclusive
of 81 $50, 81 which was earned by
the Pacific railroad for transportation
and credited on it's debt to the gov
eminent There was an increase of
receipts over the previous year of
SIS, 516, 0S0.21, or ~ per cent, and an
increase of expenditures of $3,S36,
124.02, or 4.42 per cent.
The deficit for the last year, al
though much less than that of the
last and preceding years, emphasizes
the necessity for legislation to correct
the growing abuse of second-claSS
rates, to which the deficiency is main
ly attributable. The transmission at
the rate of l cent pound of serial
libraries, advertising sheets, house
organs periodicals advertising some
particular "house" or institution,
sample copies and the like ought Ger
tainly TO be discontinued.
The growth in weight of second
class matter has been from 300, 900, 600
pounds in 1894 to 312, 600, 900 in 1895
and to almost 349, 900, 900 in 1896, and
it is quite evident this increasing
drawback is far Outstripping any pos

monetary system, and which may at
any time again become a source of
danger.
But if any such remedial legislation
is to be undertaken, it must be on
the absolutely clear basis of the main
tenance of the existing standard.
The possibility of an international
bimetallic agreement need not be eX-
cluded; the law enacted could, with
out the least difficulty, take such a
future possibility into account. But
what it would positively have to do
is to place our currency upon such a
footing that the parity of all our
money with gold would be sure to be
maintained without our mourning the
difficulties and dangers we have lately
encountered. We are Of opinion that
a Commission is the best available in
trumentality for securing a good
currency law; but it must be a Com
mission appointed for the purpose of
securing a definite object. After the
tremendous battle of last fall we
certainly don't propose to refer the
whole money question to a debating
society of four or five persons repre-
senting all possible views. We want
light from competent persons as to
the means by which a certain end can
best be attained; not lot of gable
about money and prices and labor and
what not, of which, Heaven knows we
had quite enough all last summer.

The most audacionS proposition
that we can recall as ever having been
seriously made in Congress is that
contained i'll the resolution offered by
Senator PETER Monday, providing for
n Monetary Commission. PETER cody
claims that the election settled moth
ing, and that therefore the thing to do
is to have the whole money question
reopened, and referred to a Commits
sion in which all views are equally re
presented! He wants to have a Com
mission consisting of one Republican,
one Palmer Democrat, one Bryan
Democrat, and one Populist, the four
to select fifth man to complete the
Commission. OF course, the scheme
is too utterly prepOsterous to deserve
a moments attention.
The people of this country have
passed through one of the most ire
mendous struggles that a free people
has ever gone through in time of
peace. The outcome of that struggle
was the election, by an Extraordinarily
large majority, of a president pledged
i'll the most emphatic and unmistak-
able manner to the maintenance of
the existing gold standard, which had
been made the object Of powerful
attack, after many years of persistent
agitation. The House of Representa-
tivcs elected at the same time shows
Il heavy majority of the same charac-
ter. In the Senate there will also be IA
majority for sound money. In these
circumstances, there are only two
things that can be thought of for u
moment. concerning the currency
The first is, to do nothing at all; for
no legislation is absolutely necessary
at the present time on the money
question. The second is, to remedy

tariff question has been so thorou&
~ thrashed out that there are MO
longer any great expectations cdn-
corning it in one way or another. If
the Republican party now eXhausts
its strength in making a new general
tariff it will simply remove the issue
from the campaign of 1900, for it is
evident that the Bryan party dob
not intend to make any contest OF
thatissue. Whatever disappointment
may ensue-and there are bound t
be many, however wisely the job NAB
be managed-will rebound to the dis
advantage of the Republican party,
while at the same time it will have to
encounter the terrible force of the re-
action against the party in power
which has become a reguf5,ff' . Cd ttire
of national politics.
The dangers of the situation are APP
preciated by thoughtful politicians.
Chairman Walker, of the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, in
a recent communication to the Boston
HerdId, said:
If the Republican party simply re-
| vises the tariff with a view, first, to
| protection, and second, to securing a
| sufficient revenue for the expenses OF
| the government, and rests the matter
| there without recognizing the tinan-
cial and banking system of the coun-
| try, the risks taken in the canvass
! just closed will be increased a hun.
drCdfOld in the Presidential contest
of 1900. The Republicans are as sure
to be hurled from power in 1900 as il
is that the Democrats were hurled
from power November 3.
Mr.. Walker is a thoroughgoing Re
publican, and it is with perfect tidel
ity to party interests that he makes
this startling prediction. And the
more the matter is considered, it viii
be seen that such fears are vel
| founded.
Here is a heavy responsibility fol
| the incoming administration and fol-
the party managers. If when that
| extra session is called President Nc
Kinley should send in a message de
voted to currency reform and should
follow it up by employing all the in
| fluence of the administration to pro
mote party action in that direction
it will be proof that that RESPONSE
bility is fully appreciated and is be
ing met in the best possible way.
