Whatever the Turveydrops of the
moral world may have to say about the
necessity for elevating moral deport-
ment ON the part of woman, bewitoh-
ing woman, / have never been able TO
see any indubitable intent in nature her-
self toward binding them over to any
higher moral standards than she does
mel. Both men and women seem TO me
to be compounded of the same average
morality, though with certain unlike
manifestations, largely the result of cir
cumstances and opportunities.
see no special cause for believing
that the average woman under like
temptation would do very differently
from the average mana belief which
is not lessened by Bishop Potter's re-
cent accusation before the women s
auxiliary of the Civil Service Reform
association that they put their relatives
into office whenever they get the chance,
without any evidence that they are fit
ted to fill the places they applied for "
Possibly women were intended by their
Creator to stand for the reformatory in
terests of life. but l think there is not
as yet sufficient evidence thereto, either
in the nature of things or of women, to
warrant any special abrogation of other
distinct and more familiar duties in IA
yor of interests mainly moral. Helen

A Pertinent Question

MARION, Ia, May IL, 1898:
EDITOR CENSOR: Will you please ask
Col. May for me, what is the matter
with wheat and silver? Ask him If be
remembers an argument he had with
ne when he said, "the price of silver
always and invariably regulates the
price of wheat" I told him I thought
the supply ard demand regulated the
price of both wheat and silver. He can
not claim the war ha' anything to do
with it, because he said tina silver regu-
lated the price. 1 will not claim, as be
would have done, it W. J BRYAN had
been elected and they had free coinage
of silver that that was the cause of the
rise in price of wheat Will not claim
that it is wholly due to McKinley's cleo
ton, but still think that supply and de
msnd has had something to do with it
Now / think he had better go ov-r the
same ground that he stumped before
election, and tell the people that he did
not know, that he was mistaken for once,
or the people may think he is, or Was
dishonest. DR.. A. Cory.

A-had matter has been quickly dis
posed u with little cost to the county
and none toe severe punishment for the
offending crimina! by speed execution
of law officers The CENSOR gave in de-
tail, last week, the offense for which
Ssmuel Scriven, the inhuman tramp, was
arrested. On being arraigned in Squire
McMichaers court on Thursday, Scrlven
waived examination. On advice OF his
father, and his attorney, Ell. P. Proctor. it
was arranged for him to plead guilty
before Judge Wyman, at La Crosse,
where he was taken by the sheriff,
accompanied by Mr.. Proctor and Dis
trict Attorney Griffin. The La Crosse
papers thus report his maneuvers when
arraigned at the bar of justice
"Scriven was brought up TO the bar
with the expsctst on that he would
plead guilty. Judge Wyman asked
him il he had anything to say. Scriven
tnrns d to District Attorney Griffin and
asked to see the charge against him.
He read the document carafully, then
he slammed it on the desk and threw
his hat on the fl ,or saying II didn't do
it," He refused to plead guilty or not
guilty and was taken from the room,
the case bell 6 held open for Time.
Shortly before 6 o'clock in the afternoon
he was again brought into the court
rcom and sienifed his dpsi a to plead
gully to the charge JudRe Wy man
immediately 8entenoed him to twenty
years at Wsupun."
| Scriven was taken to Waupun on
Friday by Sheriff White, and thus ends
another chapter of lawlessness and
crime
Judge Wyman, before pronounciog
sentence, reviewed briefly the case, and
addressing the prisoner said; "There
does not appear to be the slightest ex
cuse for your crime; there conid be no
excuse You were not intoxicated; had
you been, that would mitigate your

The Reverend DIR. J. Wilkins. rector
of Christ Church, La Crosse, Archdeacon
of the Episcopal diocese of Milwaukee,
preached in the Congregational church,
Viroqua, on Wednesday, evening last
DR.. Wilkins was assisted in the service
by the Reverend Mr.. Ferguson of the
Episcopal church at Sparta. The men,
bers of the Episcopaian branch of the
church are few and far between in
in this city, about enough to satisfy the
liturgical requirement of "two or three"
as constituting a congregation. But in
devotion TO their church they make up
for lack Of numerical strength The
congregation was large, and though
strangers to the liturgy, by the aid of
the reprints of the order of evening
pray or, were able to take part therein.
DR.. Wilkins sermon was a mssterly
and most scholarly exposition of the
struggle in many minds and hearts be-
tween religious faith and scientific truth,
because of apparent contradiction and
discrepancies. That faith must not be
lost or laid aside during this struggle,
but calmly wait for and welcome con-
elusive and final demonstration OF the
claims of science, il true, because God,
Himself, is Truth"
The congregation were. evidently,
most favorably impr, ssed by and drawn
to the pre- acher, whose voice, which is
splendid one, was perfectly modu ated
and light and shadow was secured with
ont apparent effort.
The daughter of Mrs and DIR. Chas. FL
Trobwridge was christened by DR.. Will
kins.
The offertory was given to the Con
gregational church, whose invitation was
most graeiouslr acknowledged by Dr.
Wilkins who expressed the hope that it
might be in his power to reciprocate 10
Christian fraternity and hospitality
The clergy and Mrs Wilkins were en-
tertaiued by General and Mrs. E M
Rogers. DR.. Wilkins and Mr.. Rev
Ferguson returned to La Crosse and
Sparta next day

A puzzLER FOR MEDICAL SCIENCE.

Insane Patient Who Swallowed Knife.
spoons and Glass Dies From Effects
OF the Latter-po8t Mortem Held.
The patient at our county asylum for
insane, who underwent an operation on
April 18th, when table-knife 81 inches
long was successfully removed, died on
Monday evening OF this week. Death
did not result directly 81 indirectly
from said operation, which was emil
nently successfully. DR.. f. E Morley,
medical officer. Drs. Schreiner, Colt,
G III, Trowbridge, Minshall and Esche
today conducted post norton exami
nation on the deceased. The result of
the post norton disclosed the facts
that:-The knife had perforated the
lower border of the greater curvature of
the stomach. and basal of infiamma-
tory adhssions extended frcm the per-
foration to the side of the operation
wound. Two teaspoons We're found in
thu stomach, and several fragments OF
glass, the largest y inches. Several
fragments were found in different por-
tions of the intestines A perforation
three quarters of an inch long was
found at the junction of the upper and
middle thirds of the 9sophagus. Lead
ing down from this peIforation was a
false passage leading to and opening
into the left pleursl cavity. which was
the seat of suppurative Inflammation.
In the pleural cavity was about quart
of liquid food and serum. The perfo
ration of the nsophagus and the result
log inflammatory action, was the direct
cause of death. 1t is certainly remark
able that with the perforation noted no
decorations of any organ or intestinal
tract existed.
