We are assured by the Superior
Leader that Milwaukee stands no

out by the statement accredited to the
Chicago congressman, who represents
this city as one of thoseastriving to Sc

no secret in informing the Leader that

The little scandals Of the present
city administration are very humiiiat-
ing to those citizens who have a pride
in the fair name of La Crosse. One
thing seems to be apparent, that is,
that the extension of civil service to
our water and street departments
would work great Improvement in the
present system. The Improvement is
already apparent in the police and ire
departments, and time will add justifi-
cation for the board of commissioners
and increase the arguments for the ex-
tension OF the system. Public SER
wants should be free from the uncer-
tainties of aldermanic traffic and the
interference of petty municipal bosses,
if the city is to have the sort of service
that would be expected by a private
individual or corporation. This senti-
ment is growing. La Crosse Chronicle.

"The World Against Her" is one of
those good old-style melodramas of the
extremely pathetic type, telling its
familiar story of happiness, wrecked
by crime, the consequent deprivation
and sorrow terminating by joining
again the threads of happy existence,
after overcoming the Vaccinations of
the villains, and meeting out to them
the justice they deserve. That, with
variations, is the outline of them all,
but for all that they are interesting,
and particularly so is "The World
Against Her." as given by Agnes
Wallace Villa and her company. 1t is
a delineation of character so lifellke
that, Notwithstanding the element of
sensationalism- or possibly to some
extent on account of 1.-THE interest is
maintained throughout in the most

shoulders the bulk of the work rests to

A SPLENDID opportunity for beauti-
flying our city lies in the suggestion
made by Ex-Mayor Farr some two
years ago. DR.. Farr proposed at that
time that the city continue Durkee
avenue as far as Market street. By
doing this we could utilize what is now
practically waste land and convert one
of the least attractive parts of the city
into beautiful drive. The city faith
ers would do we'll to consider this mat
ter. 1t certainly presents the posi-
bilities of doing away with an old
nuisance and at the same time much
enhancing the beauty and attractive
ness of KenOsha.

THE steady advance in prices of farm
products is clearly shown by an elab-
crate study of prices being conducted
by that conservative but accurate trade
journal, Bradstreets. 1t las for
some months past followed closely the
course of nearly 100 articles, including
farm products, produce, live stock and
manufactured articles. It's latest fig
lures show that the advance in prices
,of farm products; which has been a
subject of marked attention during the
past year, still continues. The table,
which is the result of these extended
inquiries regarding the November
prices, shows an advance in corn, oats,
potatoes, milk, beans, peas, sheep,
barrelled beef, mutton, hops, eggs,
wool and other articles of agricultural
produce, and a decrease il prices OF
many articles which farmers must buy.

Below is a clipping from one of Jeffer-
sons speeches. Free traders, think it
over.
Experience has taught me that
manufactures are as necessary to our
independence as to our comfort. The
duties we lay on all articles of foreign
manufacture which produce requires
us to establish at home, with the pat
riotic determination of every good
citizen to use no foreign article which
can be made at home, secures us
against a relapse into foreign de-
pendency."

THE silverites seem to have become
so intently absorbed in their devotion
to the craze that they forget that the
present incumbent of the White House,
President Mckinley, was not elected
on free silver platform. They are
pleased to accuse the president of
infdelity to the party and priniples
which elected him, while the acts of
Mr. Mckinley are in most direct ac-
cord with the tenets of the Republican
party and the gold standard which
constituted the main issue of the cleo

If two or three of the prominent
citizens living on Durkee avenue would
take hold of the matter of extending

TO the whole city, Col w. M. Farr
took hold of the matter some two years
ago and in three days had over 500
subscribed for that purpose, but owing
atO hard times at that time the matter
was dropped. The time is now ripe to
: take it up again. Some Of the same
parties who at that time put their
names down for subscription have
! this week signifed their willingness
ito double the amount at the present
time, and without doubt $4,000 or
more could be raised within week if
the right parties would interest them
selves and push the matter along. We
feel very sure that the council, when
the time came, would do their share
La fact Mayor Culley has spoken on the
subject several times in the council
and through his paper. Why not take
hold now and give Kenosha Christ
mas present of a lake front park?

MANY people have expressed de-
sire for larger lake shore park and
drive anG have signifed their willing
ness to subscribe to fund for the pur-
pose of fixing up the lake shore land
already owned by the city and for buy
ing the few pieces which are necessary
to complete the park, and drive as far
north as it is possible to go, Market
street. There is no better time to start
the ball rolling than right now during
fhe holidays, and it will have to be
done largely by private subscription,
as the city council have about all they
can take care of this year, but the mat
ter ought not to be postponed as the
property on the lake shore is becoming
more valuable every year, and the land
that it is necessary to have can be
bought now for one half of what il can
two years from now. We have in
mind now two prominent citizens liv-
ing on Durkee avenue, either of whom
could work up the matter in first class
shape, and who really ought to take
hold of it for their own good as we'll as
for the good of the city. 1t would not
be hard work, as all the people from
all parts of the city are interested.
