MAY CRITIcIsE THE JUDGE.
Wisconsin Court Hands Down a Deci.
sion Against Judge Bailey.

Justice j. B. Winslow of the Wiscon-
sin Supreme Court handed down a de-
cision that is of particular interest to law
yers and newspaper publishers. The
opinion is in the case Of the proceedings
for contempt of court by Judge w. +.
Bailey, Of Eau Claire against FL. @. Ash
baugh and L. a. Doolittle. The court
says:
We are well persuaded that newspaper
comments on cases finally decided prior to
the publication cannot be considered crimi-
and weighty necessity which wiD justify
50 arbitrary proceeding whereby eandi-
date for office becomes the accuser, Judge
sh his critic by Imprisonment. If there can
he any more effectual way to gag the press
and subvert freedom Of speech, we do not
know where to find it.

Political Notes.

''The Republican party is responsible
for the prosperity which we have with
us. I make the assertion from the
standpoint of a business man."-Mark
Hanna.
Will Mr.. Bryan please stop over in
the cotton States and explain" how it
is that our cotton crop this year has
increased $25,000,O00 in value while
silver has fallen 20 per cent?
The Ohio Senatorial contest is ex-
pected to cut an important figure in de-
termining the control of the United
States Senate during the next two
years. AS goes Ohio so goes the Sen
ate.
The farmers of the South are not
finding much support for the theory of
the close relation between silver and
farm products in the increased value
of their cotton crop this year in the
face of the fall in silver.
Will ex-candidate Bryan kindly de-
vote a part Of that 81, 800 Ohio speech
to telling the farmers how it is that
Ohio XXX wool, which slid in New York
at II cents pound a year ago, is now
selling at 26 cents in that market?
Here is an increase of more than so
per cent in price when silver was fall
ing 20 per cent, and no famine" to
charge it up to, either.

A traction engine owned by Caddell &
Withrow, while going down a hill near
Dayton, became unmanageable, and, in
spite of the efforts of the men who had
it in charge, left the highway and went
crashing down the hillside, turning over
several times before it reached the hot

who were acting as engineer and fremen,
jumped from the engine in time to avoid
serious injury, escaping with few
scratches and bruises. Not long ago this
same engine broke through a bridge and
was considerably damaged, and this latest
smash-up has injured it almost beyond
repair.

Sunk Out of Sight,

A section of track of the Northwestern
Railway near Shawano has disappeared.
The track is situated in the midst Of a
swamp, and the section affected covers Il
space of about ten rods in length by thirty
or forty in width and has now sunk com
pletely out of sight, being covered by
water to the depth of eight or ten feet.
Soundings made have so far failed to dis
cover bottom in the hole and it is be-
lievcd that the swamp covers a small I'M
derground lake.

A Double Blessing,

Blessings, like misfortunes, some
times come in pairs. The triumph Of
the American system of protection, at
the polls last November, has put an end
to the outflow of gold from our shores
to pay for foreign made goods; and now
has come the discovery of gold in Alas

Jananese Labor in Australia.

Hawaii is not the only place where
the influx of Japanese cheap labor is
making trouble. The Melbourne Lead
err. Nav %, 1897, says that Thursday
Island, off the far north of Queensland,
is rapidly becoming japanese settle
ment, and if the present rate or IN
crease be maintained the whole place
must eventually fall into their hands.
They are becoming predominant on the
pearling and beche-de-mer fisheries,
and are securing also the greater part
of the business ashore. I'm another
three years." says the North Queens
land Register, 'the pearl shelllng lndus-
trv will be theirs entirely, If no restrlc-
tions are imposed, and Thursday ISL
and. except for the intermittent sup
mort of passing steamers, will become
an annanage of the Mikado.' Even
more gloomy is the outlook OF a 1oWhs-
Vile paper, which foresees the Tune
when Australia itself will become q
Japanese dependency. This predlctloh
NAV he far fetched, but there Is no
doubt that white labor cannot stand III

font with the Asiatic standard OF living
and the Asiatic rate Of wages. Wnat
is happening on Thursday Island VIII

conra ged. The virtues of the japanese

Germ for Australian interests. Are AUS

than hundred million in excess of the
last year of the Mckinley law. But it
is not at all certain that the Argentine
lawmakers will take this step. We
bought of that country in 1896 $9,313,-
1856 worth Of goods, and sold her So
979,O46 worth Of goods. Can she af-
ford to cut off a market for nine mill
ion dollars worth Of her goods for
the sake of shutting out a million dol
lars worth of lumber, kerosene, and
agricultural machinery? During the
past ten years the balance of trade
has been in her favor. Her statesmen
will think several times before they
destroy it. Even if the million dollars
worth of our products are shut out OF
Argentine, our farmers will doubtless
think the exchange a fair one when
they consider that she sent about i've
million dollars worth of wool into our
markets last year, and that her in
dignation'' is due to the fact that she
is not to be permitted to continue this.

American railway systems, much to
the advantage of the latter. The re.
