Every community, not excepting
Kenosha has a specimen or two of such
democrats as Senator Mis-, of Texas,
who recently declared: 9 would vote
for the 1fee and unlimited coinage of
pewter before | would help disband the
Democratic party" Where such par
tisansbip exists there is no room for
patriotism or craftsmanship.
The friends of Captain Charles
Frantz are urging him TO become a
candidate for the Office of register of
deeds on the republican ticket and he
has decided to 40 so. The many
friends of the Captain will be pleased
to help him in bis canvass, and if he
should succeed Il the election every
one knows that he would make a most
faithful and efficient officer

A political poll of the men on the
Valley division of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railway was taken
recently, With the result that of 600
men 542 were for Mckinley for pres-
dent. In the shops of the Chicago and
Alton road 7G0 men out of 800 were for
Mckinley, and but 100 for Bryan.
Such facts as these are telling and very
encouraging. They show chat wage
earners understand what is for their
interests.
One of the most successful men in
the world is John Wanamaker, the
great Philadelphia merchant. Every
body knows of his wonderful estab-
lishment. He declares his success is
chiefly due to judicious advertising;
that is to say, newspaper advertising
exclusively. Here is what he says: " |
never in my life used such a thing as a
poster, dodger or handful. My
plan for fifteen years has been to buy
so much space in newspaper and fill
it up with what I wanted. would not
give an advertisement in newspaper
of but400 circulation for 5000 dodgers. "
The city treasury of Marinette
contains Just 16 cents and the fathers
are wondering what they are going to
do about it. The New York bond
buyers who were expected to take
bonds recently issued by the city have
written that they cannot do so, declar-
ing that the bridge and refunding
bonds are illegal because the question
Of issuing them was not submitted to
vote of the people. Marinette expect
ed to get $37, 900 from them. Two
school houses were to have been built,
but their erection will be postponed.
The common council will decide at its
next meeting what to do in the matter.
The big meat trust was beaten in
suit just decided in West Superior,
Wis. A dealer undertook TO run a
meat market without joining the local
butchers union. Though asked many
times to join the union, he refused, and
threats were made to the effect that he
would be closed out OF business.
Finally the Swift, Cudahy, Armour
and other wholesale concerns notified
him that they could no longer supply
him with meat, and he found it ex-.
tremely difficult thereafter TO buy
e: ough meat to supply his trade. He
sued for damages against the Swift
making it a test case, and
secured verdict of $3.50 damages,
which the public will say is all right.
Eddie Santry used to be known
hereabouts when the Sterling factory
first came here. He was one of the
Reddy Brennan gang, which tried to
get up series of pugilistic events at
one time. This Santry was in a battle
night at Lemont, H., with
Tommy White. The battle was not
exactly tame, yet it was one-sided.
White outclassed his young opponent,
and had him hugging and chasing from
the start until the seventh round, when
be stopped him. White showed great
and made favorable i'm
preston. Many believe that his clev-
erness will tell in the battle against
Dixon, if that event be arranged, and
it is thought it will be.
1t seems to be settled that we lose
that state circuit meet of the L. A. W.
The necessary money for the guaranty
was raised and things were swimming
along nicely when some one had the
temerity to ask the state racing board
what riders. could be guaranteed to
take part in the races. Their names
were wanted so that the big guns
could be advertised. That letter was
replied to and the reply knocked the
whole thing in the head. The state
board could not guarantee the appear
