THE WHY OF 1T.

This county is being flooded by circu-
lars, which attempt defense of Cover
nor Scofeld's vetoes of corporation bills
passed by the legislature. This defense
is written by II. A. Taylor, editor of the
Madison Journal. This same TAYLOR
secured the appointment of a certain
woman under the state administration,
who is now a member of his family, to a
position at 500 month. 1t is openly
charged and not denied by Taylor or
any other person, that this woman
never did any work or in fact never went
near the capitol except to draw her regu-
lar monthly salary.
Republicans of Vernon county, do
You wonder that the Madison Journal
and it's ilk attack Robert M. LaFollette
and every other man who believes in
honesty in public affairs? Do you
wonder that the Madison Journal calls
this "good business administration ?"
Do YOU wonder that Taylor and his ma
chine crowd are sending out circulars
in defense OF Scofeld? As republicans
and tax payers do you desire to give
endorsement to that kind of politics?
II not, then attend your town caucuses,
on Saturday, July 30, and see that dele
gates represent you in the county con-
vension who will in turn elect men
10 attend the state and congressional
conventions who do not apologize for
such officials.

Nothing more POSITIVE seems neces-
sary to demonstrate to the people the
determination on part of telegraph, ex-
press aud other corporations to escape
their Just share of taxation than the re
fussl of these corporations to pay the
war revenue stamp tax required by the
government. Their decree is to have
the burden shifted to the shoulders of
shippers and users of their lines. Why
should they attempt to escape the war
tax that all other industries and indi-
vidusls and firms willingly bear? Per-
hays they think that because, in Wis
copsin, Governor Scofeld, by his veto OF
bills passed by the legislature, freed
them from taxation, the general govern
ment ought alsoto exempt them.
Senator Spooner informs a CORES
pondent thst it was the intention of the
revenue law that telegraph and express
companies should pay the stamp tax
and not their patrons.

mated the idea Of cutting off unneces-

made good fight and it is fact that
a more economically conducted admins
tration than his has never been in power

II the statement above is true, WHY
did Scofe!d's administration, last year,
in the one item of salaries, cost the peo-
pie $4,000 more than Upham's last
year? Why has the governor loaded
the pay rolls up with unnecessary en-
ployes in violation of law? Why has
he carried bis con or the state pay rolls
st 81 500 per year, without rendering
any service? II, as the machine press
aver, this il a"business administration"
we do OF believe these questions are i'm
pertinent.

LET US BELoyAL.

A few days since, book agent from
the state capital arrived in Viroqas he
came on an annual railroad pass, furn-
ished by the powers that-be, for his
great infooence), to give some general
instructions and to learn the political
situation. he returned to the seat of
war in high glee, carrying the glad It'd
ings that the "leaders in Virogua" were
solid for Scofield and Babcock and the
"business administration crowd, and
the county would send delegations favor
able to their candidacy.
No doubt the four thousand loyal re-
republicans of Vernon county will be
thankful indeed for this presumption on
the part of an outsider. Vernon county
republicans have reputation for indie
psndence, that does not admit of being
told what they may or shall do. We
presume in this, as in other instances,
they will use their own best judgment
without the advice or consent of ma
chine-appointed guardians from dis.
lance and their few allies here.
AS is well-known, Mr.. G. J. Smith oil

nation for congress. He is bona fds
candidate and desires delegation that
is true and firm. The CENSOR believes
he ought not to be, and willnot be salts
fad with anything short of this. III,
might better remain at home and bottle
up his aspirations, than to go to the
convention with half-hearted delega
ton. The evident purpose of the out
side emissaries who come here, with the
aid of local allies, is to attempt to "pu
up" delegation professedly for Smith
the home candidate, but who will b.
ready to desert his cause at the frs
opportunity or on the slightest pretext
Republicans throughout the count,
should come to the convention prepared
to meet this condition. Let us be loya
to our home candidate, or abandon tn
field before we have begun the fight
With straightforward management, MI
Smiths nomination may be predicte,
with much assurance.

CEREMONIES ATTENDING THE SUR

CEREMONIES ATTENDING THE SUR
RENDER OF SANTIAGO.
The &c cemonies attending the surren-
der of Santiago de Cuba is now over,
the American flag is floating in triumph
over the governors palace, ard General
McKibben has been appointed temper
airy military governor. A vast con-
course of 10000 people witnessed the
stirring and thrilling scene that will
forever remain imprinted in the minds
of the Americans present. A finer stage
setting for a dramatic episode would be
difficult to imagine. The palace, pict-
uresque old dwelling in the Moorish
style of architecture, faces the Plaza de "a
Reina, the principal public square. OPP
posite rises the imposing Catholic Ca
thedral. On one side quaint, brill
iantly painted building with broad YER
andas-the club of San Carlos on the
other building of much the same de-
scription, the cafe de la Venus. Across
the plaza was drawn up the Ninth in
fantry, headed by the Sixth cavalry
band. In the street facing the palace
stood picked troop OF the Second cav
airy, with drawn sabers, under COM
mand of Capt. Brett. Massed on the
stone tagging between the band and
the line Of horsemen were the brigade
commanders of General Skaters di-
vision with their stats. On the red
tiled roof of the palace stood Capt. Nc
Kittrick, Lieut.. Miley and Lieut.. Wheel
er; Immediately above them, upon the
flagstaff, the Illuminated Spanish arms
and the legend "Viva Alfonso XIII "
All about, against the veranda rails,
crowding to windows and doors and
lining the roofs, were the people of the
city, principally women and non com
batants. AS the chimes of the old ca
thedral rang out the hour of IL, the in
fantry and cavalry presented arms.
Every American uncovered, and Capt.
McKittrick hoisted the Stars and
Stripes. As the brilliant folds unfu rled
in gentle breeze against fleckless
sky, the cavalry band broke into the
strains OF ''The Star Spangled Banner
making the American pulse leap and
the American heart thrill with Joy. At
the same time the sound of the distant
booming of Capt. Capron's battery firing
a salute of twenty one guns, drifted in.
When the music ceased, from all direc-
tions around our line came floating
across the plaza the strains of the regi-
mental bands and the mnffied hoarse
cheers of our troops. The infantry
came to "order arms" moment later,
after the flag was up, ard the band
played "Rally Round the Flag. Boys"
Instantly Gen. McKibben called for
three ch ers for Gen. Shafter, which
were given with great enthusiasm, the
band playing Sousa's 1.-The Stars and
Stripes Forever The ceremony was
then over, and the city was in the hands
of the Americans.

ONE OF MANY REASONS.

The subServlent machine press or the
state is publishing long winded excuses
for Gov. Scofeld's veto of the bills pas
sed by the last legislature, which sought
to tax express, sleeping car and telegraph
companies, and compel them to pay a
share of public burdens. The apologies
are all of machine manufacture, with
little, if any substantial ground to base
them on. Strange coincident, isn't it,
that the governor should watch 30 close
" for constitutional grounds on which to
base veto messages for all bills which
sought the taxation of corporations? If
he entertained doubts concerning the
validity of the acts, why did he not
give the people, instead of the corpora
tions, the benefit of the doubt, and let
these corporations, which pay no taxes
to the state, appeal to the courts. Or If
the governor was as anxious to tax cor
porations as his machine newspapers
claim, he should have signed the bills
and then 10 message to the legis allure,
at it's adjourned session in August fol-
lowing, called attention to the fact that
there was question as to the legality
of it's action, and recommended further
action to cure any possible defect. Then
if the legislature had failed to act, and
the corpora ions refused to pay the
license tax imposed, the matter could
have been taken into the courts and
without any expense on behalf of the
state, and the question in dispute set
tied This point would have been gain
ed and the state no worse off than at the
present time, and the governor and his
party shared the humiliating position in
which they are placed before the candid,
observing people.
But the fact is. very few who know
anything about legislation, sustain the
governor in his weak and unsupportable
position. He had no opinion from the
authorized law officer of the state to
rest his veto messages on. In the as
ssmbly his vetos were overidden IS TO IL.
This number contained six of the ablest
lawyers in the house, while only two
lawyers, they corporation tools, voted to
sustain the veto. In the senate the vote
to pass over the veto stood IL for and
u against,"lacking only fraction of a
vote of the required two thirds majority.
This il fair estimate entertained by the
legislature of the governors opinion and
Judgment.
This is one of many reasons why the
CENSOR thinks Governor Scofield ought
not to embarrass his party by standing
for denomination, and it is one of the
substantial reasons why the republican
party, which processes to be the purest,
the best and the representative party,
ought not to give endorsement to official
wrong doing. The fact that the COVER
nor has had but one Term and the party
majority was 100, 900 at the last election,
does not warrant the denomination of one
who has been unfaithful to his party
and the people.
1t is anything but pleasant duty to
thus plainly speak of the executive Of
the state, and he one of our own par v.
Neither personal or factional feeling
would prompt the CENSOR to do so, but
it is duty too plain to be misunder-
stood.
