ON the surface everything looks like
war With Spain. What the court of in
qnlry has learned no one outside OF off
cal circles knows. 1t is not known
whether the court has given an opinion
as to what its findings will be but il Is
probable 1T has not. 1t Is apparent how
ever that the army and navy are being
strengthened, hut hardly to the extent of
anything more than a possibility OF war
The most notable thing IN connection
with the war feeling was the appronria-
ton by the house, apparently 90 the sup
gestlon OF the President, of s5OOOO n0O
for de Tense fund. In addition WAS tho
passage ct the bill increasing the artillery
arm by two regiments. and The immediate
enlistment OF men for this purpose. PRO
ceedlngs have been instituted for tho
purchsse OF war ships. Secretary LONG
has asked for an appropriation of $500 :
WO, TO oe Immediately available for the
equipment OF warships.
These things sound warlike The
preparations made by Spain are likewise
warilke. Warships have been purchased
ana NEGOTIATIONS are IN progress by that
nation Tor large quantities of powder.
Inc United States government is also
forwarding ammunition to Key West, but
this may be only the ordinary procedure
10 supplying the warships.
The war feeling has had dison,et,no
effect upon the securities of both conn
tries parties to the controversy. though
Spanish securities suffered most.
But on the whole there is not much
ground for the fear that war will be de-
clared. As said before, the preparations
are not so extensive as to warrant prob
ability.

SPAIN has receded from her request for
the recall of General Lee. 1t is now said
by Spanieh officials that 1t was not de-
mand for his recall that was made but q
suggestion offered, which was dropped
when not favorably received by Presl-
dent Mckinley. Spain has the undoubt-
ed tight to give General Lee his passport,
without reason given, and under ordln
airy circumstances without seriously
stralnipg the relations between the coun-
tries. But Lees course has been such
that his dismissal would arouse Indigna-
lion IN this country as 1t would be an in
dignity put upon him for his frmness
and lnpsrtiality and his determination to
protect the rights of American citizens in

THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

The Fond du Lac Commonwealth, re :.
publican IN politics, has the folloWing to
say regarding the circuit judgeshlp. The
article was called out by the call OF the
Sheboygan County Bar to Mr.. A. c. Pres
colt to be candidate.
The Commonwealth prints IN another
column the petition OF the Sheboygan
county bar to Mr.. A. G. Prescott TO be-
come candidate for the clrcnlt judge
ship, and in connection thel ewlth is the
acceptance of that gentleman.
A large majority of the Fond du Lac
county bar, without regard to political
affiliaiIon, having united In asking Judge
Kirwan to become non partisan CANDID
ate to succeed Judge Gibson, and the Com
monwe6lth having Endorsed the move
ment 1t cannot about face on the judicial
question. For years this paper hes fav-
ored non partisan Judiciary; and at this
particular time i cannot blow hot and
cold respecting the circuit jndgeship.
And this has long been the policy OF
Fond du Lac county. In 1892 when
Judge John b. Wlnslow, democrat, was
candidate for the supreme court, only
five votes we're cast against him ID all
Fond du Lac county. When Justice
Marshal, a republican ran for The sn-
preme court in 1896, not single vote III
the county was cast against him When
Judge n. s. Gibson was a candidate for
reelection in 1892, he received every vote
in Fond du Lac county except two,
When Judge Richter. republican, was
re elected to the county court last spring,
he received 200 votes, and not dozen
ballots we're cast against him.
With these important and controlling
facts 10 mind, the Commonwealth cannot
recede from the position 1t had taken IL
the circuit ludgeship before the candid,
acy of Mr.. Prescott was announced. This
paper always pressed toward consistency
and above all thing else, its purpose Is to
stand finn to the principle of non par
tisan judiciary.

THE Spanish government did very
foolish thing III asking for the recall of
General Lee, consul-general to Cuba.
The United States government promptly
and properly declined. General Lee has
been filling trying position and he has
done 1t with admirable tact, ability and
dignity. He comes from family which
has belonged from the foundation of the
government to the arlstocracy of merit
his uncle, General Robert Lee. played the
most conspicuous part among the confed
crate hosts. But when defeat came he
advised his soldiers to go home. Not a
word of bitterness escaped him. His
nephew seems to have the family Trait of
being active without being noisy.

CERTAIN classes of people find it diff
cult 10 understand why fact should be
established legally before action proper
with reference to it be taken. These
people are always impatient of court pro-
cedure and are restless over everything
which delays the accomplishment OF their
purpose. What appears a fact to them
they think should be generally recogniz.
ed as such. LynchIngs aud riots owe
their origin to this uuwise and danger.
Gus form of lmpatience. 1t is really the
outgrowth of ignorance and Is menace
to individual rights.
Newspapers which exhibit and encour-
age this restlessness of the people when
inquiries TO ascertain facts are 10 FRO
gress, are criminals. The yellow Journals
which are demanding war with SPAN be-
fore cause for war is officially made
known, are acting In the same spirit as
leaders of gang of lynchers. No doubt
many OF them 10 the past have denounced
lynchlng as crime and demanded the
punishment of those emf Toying this
means settling difficulties.

MICHAEL kIRwAN, who is Endorsed by
Manitowoc counties for judge of the
Fourth circuit, and whose call has been
signed by fully 1900 citizens OF Manlto-
voc, and many ID Fond du Lac and ke-
| waunee counties, came to Meme when a
lad, and spent bis summers working on
the farm, during the winter attending
SCHOOL. He began teaching school when
little over 16 years. but during the time
he was engaged in this work, until he be
came principal, returned to the old home
stead to aid in the spring, summer and
fall work. The Christmas vacation was
spent In hauling cordwood to the piers
IN Centerville, the proprietors of which
did quite business IN this line in these
days. His hands are gDarled from man
ual labor done while the bones we're plas
tic. While boy he studied by the light
of pine knot or tal!ow dip. But be
studied to some purpose and was the
| first in this county to secure state GER
tifcate and, if the writer's Recollection
is not at fault, among the first in the
state The splendid work he did as sup
erintendent of schools of this county Is
we'll known TO all within its limits. Hi S
work and exa mple were an inspiration to
young people and to the stimulus he gave
educational effort Is due more than to
anything else the fact that Mantle noe
county to-day leads the state in the num-
Der of state certificates secured by It's
teachers.
AS county judge he made a splendid
record. Titles to real estate secured
through the county court were uncertain
aud indefinite before his term. He can
not endure slovenly procedure or partial
performance and when he quit the office
of county Judge the records were as per
feet rs 1t WAS possible to make them.
As lawyer he has been likewise con
scientious and thorough. He is inclined
to discourage litigation if settlements are
possible But he never Sights case no
matter what the amount involved. His
practice as a lawyer has been such as to
admirably fit him for A Judge. He is a
man OF most exemplary habits, well read
IN general literature and is a close student.
Broad and liberal in his views he judges
men and measures by no petty standard.
He is scrupulously honest in everything
and would not deceive even by insirua-
ton. He has great respect TOR his pro-
fession as he has for manly character ID
every walk of life.
The people of the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult VIII act wisely in electing HIM Judge.
They will have IN him an honest man.
well equipped for the duties of the posi-
ton, with habits of thoroughness and con-
scientious performance formed early and
persisted In unremlttlngly until they
have become second nature.

HE city council at It's meeting on
Monday opened the bids for dredging to
be done this season. The amount of
dredging to be done Is at least 100000
cubic yards, and is to be between 9Th and
State streets. Most of it will be up the
river and all with the purpose of attain
ing 21-foot channel. The bids are as
follows per cubic yard:
Racine Dredge Co., 1900; Chicago
Dredge X Dock Co, 81; Sheboygan
DredGe & Dock Co. 8; Green's Dredge &
Dack Co. Chicago, 8 7-l0; G. H, Starke
Dred2e & Dock Co., Milwaukee 10; G. E.
Mitchell Il Co., Iudington s 40; Will
liam A. Starke, Milwaukee "A 10; Fl d.
Truman II. Mr.. Truman likewise pro-
posed that If the dredging on the south
side between 9Th and Nam streets was to
be limited to II feet his bid for the whole
would be SIS. He purposes using the
Two Rivers dredge together with his own
in the work and will take out 1000 yards
per day.
The city council directed the commit
tee TO enter into contract with the low
est bidder. The work of dredging will be
commenced just as soon as the conditions
are favorable and docking will follow di-
rectly. 1t is quite probable that more
than the minimum stated will be done
this year.

THE Green Bay Advocate suggests that
James l.. O'Connor be the democratic
nominee for governor and in case of his
refusal it should be A. J Schmitz. There
could be no better men, but they should
be allowed to pursue the course they
have mapped ont for themselves. They
will achieve more success, attain greater
honors and earn mere content IN the
practice of their profession. Both have
done the state some service and got
mighty little thanks for it. They are in
position now to do themselves some
service and no siren song should divert
them from their obligations to them
selves.
