Now that the Legislative hopper is
closed to new bills and the grind be-
gun in earnest, the people are natural
ly curious to know what the grist
will be-whethel OF the nature OF a
pure nutritious product, calculated to
build up the places made waste 10y
hard times and unjust determinations
or whether they will get a black, I'M
palatable nauseating dose. Whatever
the expectations may be, based on
former experiences, there is no excuse
for the latter result, for there is plen-
ty of good material at hand, and
many measures, if passed at this SEES

Treasury InsOlvent Since
Dec. 1, 1896.
The

Gov. ScOfieid sent a most sensa
tional message TO the legislature last
Thursday. In his inaugural message
he reported that the state finance
was IN very healthy and satisfac-
tory condition, but the governor has
since changed his mind, owing to the
fact that a closer and more careful
iItve stigation of the condition OF the
treasury revealed to him the startling
truth that the treasury is insolvent,
and that an actual deficit exists oil
over three hundred fifty thOus-
and dollars, and that this fact were
kept dark by unusual methods, which
the governor says amounts to loans
and advances of money contrary to
the laws of our state. One hun
dred two thousand dollars We're
put up by one of the banks with the
understanding that the bank should
have the use of the same amount oil
money without interest a like length
of time, and the balance was put up
BIZ railroad corporations several
months before it was due. Thus it Is
seen that while the credit of our nation
is practically at the mercy of money
brokers of New York and London,
the credit ofour state has been actual
w maintained through the generosity

OF railroad corporations. just WiIa'
cause actuated this generosity on the
part OF the railroads III advancing
two hundred fifty thousand dol
lars two or three months l,efore the
money was due is not explained IN
the message; but tie bad condition OF
our state finance was brought about
by the unparalleled extravaganza OF
Gov. Upham administration as VIII
be seen in the Milwaukee Sentinel ar
ticle OF Feb. 8, printed in luil III an
other co umn of tn S paper. While
our Governor has wisel y recommend
ed economy i'll his previous message
he now recommends that a special tax
be levied sufficient to meet the obllga-
tions of the state The special mes
sage will create much surprise and
comment, but when the credit Of the
state must be maintained through
the courtesies OF corporations, 1T Is
time for the executive to call a hal
and the Governor is entitled o great
credit in meeting the issue boldly
and manfulIy and setting down upon
unusual methods in protecting the
soivency OF The treasury.

WHAT'S the matter with Hudson,
anyway? As a no-license town it is a
complete failure. A year ago her
citizens declared against license by a
small majority, but as yet scarcely an
effort has been made on the part OF
her officials or citizens to enforce the
law. In this respect New Richmond,
the gritty little burg up the river,
could teach her elder sister rich lessons.
This failure on the part of HUDSON to
enforce prohibition will be a "dampen-
err on no-licence sentiment for years
to come.

MONEY! MAKE IT YOURSELF?

/ have never seen anything in the papers
about the Peoples Wind Mill: we call il the
Peoples because the inventor never patented
it; but let everybody use t free. ANY farmer
can make a mill himself, and all the mater
ial complete will not cost over SO. 1t is q
splendid mill, will pump the deepest wells.
and will last longer than any mill even
had. Any personran get diagrams and com
plete directions free as did, by sending Is
two cent stamps to pay postage. etc, TO
Francis Casey, St L'uis. Mo-; he sells pumps
also, and when you get your wind mill going
would he glad to sell You Il pump if YOU neeG
it. i is certainly useless to pay so or 500 fol
ii wind mill when you make ore just as
good for $40. / think there could be big
money made putting these mills up through
the country as every BODY would like them.
