The Milwaukee Journal is always
humorous. Choke at its utterances rs
hard as we nay they do not go down
as real hard, serious argument There
are others who look at it the same way.
And if this be true it is because the
Journal has always followed such Il
course as to make it impossible TO take
it any other way. In its issue OF Nov.
10, arguing for a position for Bragg IN
The cabinet OF President Mckinley, it
says:
If this Is a government for spoiis IA
government for party and not Il gov
ernment for the country, the argument
of the organs OF different shades against
the appointment of Il democrat Ill the
cabinet rs q representative OF that side
of the question is uuassailaDle. II the
cabinet and all the administration
forces are to he directed TO managing
the government tor the party, no man
who lcft tue platform OF Chicago has
any nlaco in it, But Is it not time that
the American people began to take
another view of the Office OF govern
mentg All through the campaign
there were indications that the time
was approaching One of the features
upon which many leaders on the plat
form and with the press felicltated
themselves was, that this general
breakup was weakening the bonds OF
partisanship; that men were taking d
broader and higher view of the func-
ton of pOlitics They were conspicu
Ously ssub0fdinating 2 their partisan
views to what they believed good tol
tho country This motive was not con
fined to any one party or section OF it
Changes were made on that basis in al
parties, most notably, OF course IN the
democratic party.
The Journal was never known to ad
vocate anything republican as being 81
high mindedly patriotic as its above
utterances would lead one to suspect i
could. On the other hand, it has al
ways attempted to elevate its demo
cratic principles and faith to tina
standard. That..ssis what has always
made it so really funny.
1t may be argued that it supporte'
the gold standard this fall. 1t did. bu
it was under the guise of the Paine
and Buckners democracy. 1t did no
support Mckinley. Why should
now expect to push some of its ilk upo
himg The prohibitionists have Away
fought for principle and have thus al
WAYS aided the democrats, but did
democrat ever appoint prohibitions
to any cabinet or other position be
cause of it? Not much.

THE Milwaukee Journal in it's Sat

THE Milwaukee Journal in its Sat-
urday evenings issue says that this
paper "unconsciously paid q high trib-
ute to the Journal" and then proceeds
to criticize it, with the utmost of Pick
wickian dignity, for its "partisanship, )"
and comperes it with its own states
manship."
Now, in the first place, this paper
had supposed that it was in one OF its
lucid intervals when it paid the high
tribute to the Journal. 1t admires the
course the journal takes, considering
all the circumstances and the sort of
party il has to work upon, and it would
not for one moment have that paper
deSist for if there is a party anywhere
which needs such noble and inspiring
leadership it is the democratic party.
And we do not see why We should be
SO severely reproved when we see the
Nater rushing back from its Parting
ton broom.
Perhaps it may not understand what
is meant by such an alluSiOn, but it
probably will when it recalls the fun it
had with the silver cause before the
time of the Chicago convention.
But here, always eminently fair, it
ask the NEWS a fair question, and 1t
deserves fair answer. 1t asks: "Why
should not the administration represent
the people who elected it,"
We believe the administration should
recognize the gold democrats some
way, as We have said before, but not
in the cabinet. The placing of dis
cordant element in presidential cabin
cts has never heretofore proven of val
tie either to the party or to the count
ry. The example of Gresham in Cleye-
lands cabinet is recent one, and one
which the Journal will not call an un-
qualified success, surely.
President Mckinley will undoubtedly
recognize the gold democrats b giving
them some of the important posts, but
it would be eminently unwise, i'll the
face Of past experiences, to take one O.
them into the one place of all Others
where the machinery of government
should move the most smoothly. The
gold democrats could not guarantee
that they could furnish a man for the
place who would be in full sympathy
with McKinley's policies, and being
unable to they should not ask a cabi
net position.

Chairman Goes Parting Shot.

Chairman Coe, Of the state republi-
can central committee, issued a part
ing address to the republican organiza-
ton Wednesday, which like all his
work showed the splendid leader A
general knows that success depends,
upon the loyalty of his followers. Real
izing this, Mr.. Coe compliments the
organization for the glorious victory in
carrying the state by over 100000
plurality out of only 1900, 900 popula-
ton. Mr.. Coe then takes occasion to
say few words for the agencies which
assisted in the victory What he says
of them will meet the heartiest of
Amens from the full rank and file. He
says:
"The great work Of the press, the
metropolitan and the unequaled local
mind, was intelligent, constant and
potent in leading public thought in the
right direction. The corps of cam
paign speakers was by far the largest
and aDlest which has ever taken part
in any political contest in Wisconsin.
Great benefit was also derived
from various organizations, the Repub-
lican League, the commercial travellers
clubs, the railroad mems sound money
clubs and numerous Mckinley and
Hobart clubs, all of which worked
tremendously and vigorously to the ac-
complishment of one purpose. County
organizations were unusually perfect
and have supplemented the work of
the state central committee by most
faithful and efficient service.
+" Last, but not least, we mention
with earnest approval the great and
unselfsh work done by the sound
money democrats. No one can doubt
the patriotic character of their course.
Personal advantage and opportunity
for preferment were clearly disregarded
in their revolt against the heresies and
atrocities of the Chicago platform.
Their speakers and writer's labored
with consummate ability and courage
/ for the cause Of sound money and good
government, and not a small part OF
| the great victory which we all rejoice
in today is due to their splendid efforts.
/ All in all the situation is one which
we can contemplate with entire salts

which has been gained are wisely con-
served. the good fight which has been

THEa1 is no longer any doubt
but that the proposed constitutional
amendment placing the limit at which
the state superintendent of public in
struction's salary could be placed at
s., GOO. Instead Of $1,000 as it now
stands. which was voted on at the
recent general election, was defeated
~ an Overwhelming majority. The
amendment was voted on by only
about one-eighth Of the regular vote.
This was probably because OF the fact
that the matter was not discussed
either way by any party. 1t was an
entirely non-partisan affair." and was
left untouched upon by both public
speakers and the press. So Mr. Emory
will have to put in his time for another
two years, at least, at $1,000 per year.

Milwaukee, Nov. 1.-THE large dry
goods store of T. L. Kelley & Co., was

force the firm to the wall, but would
continue the operation of the store, in
which case there was enough to pay all
the creditors dollar for dollar.

HORSES ARE LUCKY.
Theatrical People Believe the Equine n
Mascot.

Theatrical People Believe the Equine n
Mascot.
From the Philadelphia Press.
There is an old theatrical superstition
that horses are very lucky TO have in
a play, and theatrical superstitions.
like all others, die hard. There are one
or two leading London managers who.
IL they were to reveal their Utmost
thoughts believe in this superstition TO
this very day. Cut the cackle' ana
come TO the 'osses," was the favortte
maxim of the celebrated Ducr0w. and
he had good cause to believe in losses,
for they made him one of the most
prominent men of his time.
Sir Augustus Harris is a firm believer
in the horse theory, for there has not
been a recent successful Drury Lane
drama In which a horse has not APP
peared. while a great many of them
have owed their success in a great
measure to the introduction of the
equine.
In the present drama running at
Drury Lane is represented for the first
time in the history of the stage a polo
match with trained polo ponies. that
have often played in matches on the
actual ground at birmingham, I'm the
mimic representation of which, on the
stage. they appear every night
Sir Augustus Harris tells a good
story of one of these ponies, a beautiful
Sir George Scott. During one of the re-
hearsals the ponies were brought down
near the footlights that they might get
accustomed to THE glare and so not get
frightened during the performance at
night.
1t so happened that one of the dunn
my horses that are used in the battle
scene-"The Last Stand"-was lying on
the stage. The little gray pony caught
sight of II. and struggled until he got
over to where IL lay. He shifted and
shifted at ii for some minutes. and he
seemed to be very much puzzled; final
ly, TO the great amusement of every
body on the stage, he made vicious
bite at the dummy's ear, which, not be-
ing very firmly attached. came OFF.
The pony stood still for a moment
with a strange, frightened look in his
eyes, and then took to his heels up the
stage. For weeks afterwards 1t was
impossible to get the pony to come
down anywhere near the footlights.
The largest theatrical stables in the
world are those kept by a horseman
near Drury Lane theater. Here one
often sees more than 100 horses that are
being used fore various theatrical pur-
poses. From these stables horses are
sent all over England with touring
companies. Often there will be as many
as 20 horses travelling i'm various parts
of the country from this establishment
alone.
When clothing is sold everywhere at
half the cost Of manufacturing IL looks
as If the Wall street lamb were the
only profitable line of wooden goods i'm
the market.-Truth.
