WISCONSIN became state May %, 84s
The plan of celebration of the semi-cen-
tennlal OF the anniversary IS to have 81
multaneous celebrations in every county,
at the county seat on May %, 1898 This
suggestion should be acted upon, not as
matter OF sentiment, though that is
proper on this occasion.-but because of
the historic value OF the event. Manito-
voc county has always been lacking in
the spirit of historical research and pre-
servation of early recollections. There
are many Incidents 10 the early history
of the county of exceeding interest. They
should be collated and preserved. Work
OF this kind can be best prosecuted by
creating general interest and this can be
best aroused by celebration of he states
natal day. With such an event in pros
pective interest in local history is stimu-
lated and facts which have long slumber-
ed are recalled.
The year 1898 will soon be here and
steps should at once be taken to fit.
tlngiy celebrate the creation OF the 18th
state IF the union. Wiscons1n's history
as part CT the great republic dates back
to the earliest records of exploration. 1t
was part OF the thirteen colonies which
waged war for Independence. 1t consti.
tuted part OF that Great Northwest
whose ordinance against slavery IS now a
part OF the constitution.
M8nltowoc is one of the counties of the
state whose existence Is coeval with that
OF the state. 1t is peculiarly appropriate
that we should celebrate. Let the move
ment In that direction be hearty and gen
eral.

THERE Can be no question but that
the caucus system in cities is an evil. 1t
always will remain so as the man who is
engaged in making living for himself
and family, instead of insisting that he
be supported by the government or by
distribution OF property, will not spend
his time in upsetting the schemes OF the
men who manage the ward primaries.
There Is no use in talkidg of duty. No
reputable man engaged in legitimate
business, has the taste for organizing
necessary to carry caucus. The poljtl-
clan who has a scheme to put through
always secures the purchasable element
and 1T controls the caucus. The saloon
influence when active Is the most forceful,
and 1t seldom is inactive.
The cancus system in the country is
clean. Either the interest is general or
the Indifference so. AS h rule there is no
dominating interest. The caucus there
partakes of the features of the election,
In the city If caucus is to be packed
and as rule it is-some unemployed
persoD,-unemployed for good reason
is the person employed to do the work.
He becomes promoter and an active one
and by no means among men of high
character.

AMONG FARMERS.

The elevator people in Chicago have
brought 100000 bushels of wheat from
Duluth by water for December delivery.
There are afoat for Chicago 100000
bushels.
Colorado farmers when they learned
there was shortage in the potato crop,
sought to corner the market. Most of
Colorado potatoes go to Texas. Mime
sofa came to the relief OF the Texans and
furnished them potatoes at ruling rates.
The Colorado farmers now find their
market gone.
Matt Reddin of Franklin probably
beats the county IN the size of bis crop
this year. He has had steam thresher
at work eight DAYS, and had not complet
ed his work on Tuesday. He will thresh
about 5000 bushels of grain. This is
farming on big scale.
The tendency in the grain market is
downward and at present there are no
signs OF favorable reaction, except the
unstable one resulting from speculation.
OF course, high prices have caused rush
to market and the supply Is now greater
than the demand because of rapid move
ment. The possibility that Armour
would be caught short stimulated prices,
but the mans wonderful resources have
overcome all obstacles and he will be able
to deliver the wheat on time.

1HE Milwaukee Sentinel takes the
ground that the desire for normal schools
In Wisconsin has become abnormal. That
was the position OF The Pilot years ago.
The multiplication OF normal schools is
mistake. Not that they are not desirable
end do not do good work, but the i'm
rrovement of those We have, in enlarginp
Their course, their scope, and making
them more truly professional is what is
desired.
Multiplying normal schools is an OBJ
struction to form of educational work
10 which the state should engage. and
tnat is the creation OF training schools
In counties. Our attention has been CIV
en- too much TO higher education to the
neglect OF the common schools. The
country school must rely almost entirely
on the callow efforts of the unframed
teacher. The Influence of the normal
school Is felt most largely through the
necessity which compels the student to
te6ch after entering the normal echool
and before graduation.
There Is no department of educational
Work more interesting and which re-
sponds mor' readily TO intelligent and
perseverlng effort than country school
work. There one Is near the heart of the
people and the community readily as
sumes the character of the school, One
can trace the influence of good school
10 every home and In the enlarged
thought OF every patron.
liz is strange that the legislature has
developed 20 man who could fully appre.
cate The character of the country school.
It's possibilities and the splendid field it
Offers Tor cultivation. Some few years
ago there were young intellectual giants
engaged IN teaching in this county. All
are now leaders IN other lines of profess
sionai work. Under their vigorous adj
minlstration the county fairly tipplod
With intellectual life. It was a small
army OF Paladins rsziug the fortresses of
Ignorance. But graded schools claimed
them, from which they passed to more lu-
cratlve employment.
That was an intellectual epoch in the
history OF the county. Such talent is
not repeated in generation. But some.
thing certainly can be done by lepisla-
ton TO give the teacher OF the country
school an opportunity to fit himself for
his work. Why is it not attempted? The
state department is not much more than
bureau OF statistics end the Legislature
Is always busying itself with the needs Of
the University.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY's message is
non -committal. Interest conferred on
what he might suggest on the financial
question and the Cuban policy. He
deals temporarily with the latter quee-
ton and very gingerly with the former,
The suggestions have a perfunctory tone
wholly lacking n the aggressiVeness OF
sincere belief. He says one good thing in
dealing with the financial question.
While We are IN the midst OF prosperity
we experience no embarrassment from
our present currency. But it Is during a
period of prosperity that defects should
be remedIed. He treats the Cuban ques-
ton SO as to inspire confidence. The
jingoes receive but little comfort though
they appear to have been counting on 1t.
He clings to international bimetallsm
notwithstanding that the logic of late
events show how f1imsy the hope of Sc
curing it is. The message contains the
usual reference to commonplace matters,

death, the funds on hand being more
than sufficient to pay all debts. Be

which will be sold. Some bad feeling
had existed among the members for
some time, which was aggravated a
few weeks ago by threats of expul-
sion issued against members who for
got to pay their dues. Be that as it
may; the memory of the old Circle
will long remain as a standing re-
proach to those of its members, who
forgetting their station in life, and
their profession, discarded the Liter
airy Society preferring form of
amusement which is very poor sub
stitute for a Literary Society.

SCARCITY OF money cannot be urged SO
far as Manitowoc county Is concerned.
The banks are in a congested condition
and many loaners are running utter In-
vestors. The Building & Loan Associa-
ton has been compelled to call in some
of it's shares. OF course the man who
will not earn mas no surplus; nor can the
man who has no security to offer, borrow.
But no system of finance can relieve i'm

Fully 100000 have been paid out for

FRANK WARNEk has written a brother
OF his 10 Madison, a letter about the nch-
ness of the Klondike fields. He says they
are not overestimated. He returned to
Seattle this fall because OF the scarcity OF
provisions, but will return in the spring.
There are other means Of makIng money
besides digging Tor gold. Horses earn as
high rs $50 per day on the trail and sell
for $500 at Dawson. He intends to take
horses with him, work them on the trail
and cell them when Dawson is reached.
He estimates that s100.000.000 will be
taken out OF the Klondike in the next
four years.
