The Crisis Near.

The situation of affairs between
the United States and Spain is upper.
most in the minds Of the American
people, and will there remain until the
crisis shall be reached. This crisis
is now evidently near at hand. The
situation is being closely watched by
all the great powers Of the Old
World, where possible alliances in
certain contingencies are being freely
discussed. While hoping that wal
may not come, the national govern
ment is vigorously pushing forward
its preparation for any emergency,
however great. Coast defenses are
being strengthened, and the navy
put upon at least a respectable war
footing. Ample provisions are
being made for a plentiful supply
of coal and ammunition wherever
likely to be needed in case of a
declaration of war. There can be
no doubt that should there be
occasion for their use, any number
Of men for which a call might be
made would readily respond, while
all financial sinews wanted can be
easily obtained upon the kind of
collateral that Uncle Sam is able to
put up. While war and its terrible
consequences are ever to be greatly
deplored, and should be avoided
when practicable, it should be a
source of genuine satisfaction to
every patriotic American citizen to
feel that our government is in a
condition to successfully resist any
attempt upon the part of Spain to
make the territory now covered by
the stars and stripes, a spanish
province" The Spanish authorities,
who have for years been engaged in
vain endeavor to suppress an
insurrection in one of their island
possessions, will do we'll to consider
the absurdity of entering into an
armed conflict with a power SO great
as the United States has now become.
The resources Of this country are
very great and her people will be
unit in an open conflict with
Spain, while the latter is practically
bankrupt, and torn with internal
dissensions which even now threaten
the continued existence of the ruling
dynasty there. Should armed con
fiict ensue, it will be sharp, short
and decisive, the inevitable result
being an abrogation Of Spanish rule

1t is not probable that wars OF
rumors of wars will divert our Ii to
/ friends from their purpose to again
test their strength with the people
in 1898 upon the same line laid
down in the last Presidential cam
paign. As a new Congress is to be
chosen in November their strongest
efforts will be directed toward effect
lng as great gains as possible in our
national legislature, in order to place
themselves in as good condition as
possible for the campaign Of 1900.
But they have what seems to us to
be a hopeless task before them.
Before the approaching November
election takes place the Dingley
tariff law will be getting in its work
50 beautifully that the people will
refuse to be blinded to their own
interests by any free silver side
issue. Factories running on full
time and paying remunerative wages
in good, honest money, will prove a
more convincing argument in the
approaching Congressional campaign
than will promises of a flood Of free
silver whose abundance under the
free coinage theory would seriously
impair its value as a monetary
factor.

La Toilette the Hobqoblin

Some time ago it was announced
that parties were about to establish a
new paper at Edgerton and quickly
/ following came a cry OF warning that
it was to be La Toilette organ.
Later a current news item stated
that new daily was to be started at
Madison and Immediately the public
was cautioned that it was in the in
| terest of La Toilette. Washington
correspondents note the presence Of
IS aroused that he is there with a
skeleton key to the back door of the
| White House and President Mckinley
is interrupted while preparing to nom
mate e. w. Reyes fcr postmaster at
Madison, and prevented from doing
other things for the benefit of other
| Wisconsin patriots. A Mr.. Baum
bartner announces that he will be
candidate for the Republican nomina-
| tion for Mayor of Milwaukee, and 10,
it is found to be part of a La Fol
lette plot to poliute the pure streams
Of politics in the Cream City. Hon.
John A. Johnson Of Madison, in an
interview, admits that he would ac-
cept the republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor, and it develops
that La Toilette made him do it to
defeat another man for another Of
flee In several congressional dis
trictS there are said to be elements
and in these rebelliOus forces, La Fol-
lette is said to be the leading cOnspir-
ator. Governor Scofield failed to
please all aspirants in appointing
probate judge for Richland county,
and the disappointed ones over there
manifest hostility to Scofield's re-
nomination. Therefore, it is plain
that La Toilette will be a candidate
for governor before the next repub-
lican state convention.
The foregoing is fair epitome of
small part If the stuff that,has burd-
ened the columns Of some Of,the org
ans Of the political machine of this
state for the past month or two. In
their morbid terror of La Toilette,
the bosses expect him to spring upon
them from every bush along the
political highway. With an apology
to James Whitcomb Riley the follow
ing is offered as illustrative of the
situation:
SO the party bosses swear until the air is blue,
And their seryile little mintons trembling say
''me too"
| While the great machine is hummng loud
amid the din,
There's multitude of puppets who warning
ly chime in.
| "The bosses you had better mind, or else no pie
You II git,
| But will surely be left atugging at the hinder
tit.
Lock well unto the caucuses, and mind what
you're ABOUT,
| For Bob La Fol!ette'll get YOU
Ef You don't watch out. Z"
