LAFOLLETTE THE HOBGOBLIN

Some time ago it was announced
that parties were about to establish
a new paper at Edgerton and quick
ly following came "a cry Of warning
that il was to La Toilette organ
Later current news item stated
that new daily was to be started at
Madison and Immediately the pub
lie was cautioned that it was in the
interest OF La Toilette. Washington
correspondents note the presence OF
La Toilette In that city and sus-
picion is aroused that he is there
with skeleton key to the back door
OF the White House aud President
Mckinley is interrupted while pre-
pairing TO nominate T.. w, keyes FOR
postmaster at Madison, and prevent
ed from doing other things for the
benefit Of other Wisconsin patriots.
A Mr.. Baumgartuer announces that
he will bee u candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for Mayor of Mil
waukee, and 10, it is found to be
a part of a Ia Toilette plot to polute
the pure streams Of politics in the
Cream City. Hon. John A. Johnson,
of Madison, ia an interview admits
that be would accept the republi-
can nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ornor, aud it developes that La Fol
lcttc made him do it To defeat ar
other man for another Office. La
several congressional districts there
are said to be elements that want Il
change IN congressman, and IN these

to be leading couspirator. Gov. SEQ

appointing a probate Judge for Rich

OUT OF THE FIRE.
Dn> Efprse That Was Not Panic Stricken

Dn- Er,r.e That Was Not Panic stricken
Wien His Master Went to Rescue Him.
The common belle that horses in
burning building are always panic
stricken and refractory, not recognizing
their friends and refusing obedie-ca tc
those who would rescue them, is not
strictly true, as is proved by an incident
related by Companion contributor.
The governor had fine black driving
horse called Dexter. Although strong
and spirited, Dexter was docile and obe-
dent and was petted and made much
of by his master. AS the governor kept
no other horse, Dexter had the stable
all to himself, with clean stall and q
full manger.
The stable was near the house, and i'll
addition to Dexter stall and harness
room contained large carriage room,
an oat bin and haymow over the stall.
One night, when the family and the
servants were away from home and the
governor was in the house alone, he
was awakened by an ominous cracking
and bright glare on his chamber win
dow, and before he could collect his
sleepy wits he was startled by cry I'M
ike any sound he had ever heard. AS he
sprang out of bed the cry came again,
and Fastening to the window he learned
the cause The stable was all ablaze,
and out of the smoke and flames Dexter
was calling his master to his rescue.
Pausing only to don coat and slippers,
II rl,, IL,
door of the stable leading into the stall
was already blocked by the flames, and
the only entrance to be had was through
the carriage room, the harness room and
a narrow entry leading past the cat bin.

burning wisps of hay and shingles were
raining down in showers,
Blinded by smoke, the governor STUN

reaching the stall sooner than he expect

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-clark Howell,
member Of the Democratic national
committee from Georgia, and editor os
the Atlanta Constitution. aftor consult-
ing with the leaders of both of the
political parties at Washington. tele-
graphed as follows to his paper toe
night:
with the adjournment OF congress
for the holidays the final decision on
the peace treaty Is as clear as Il Will
be after vote has been taken IN the
senate. Two weeks ago the matter was
In doubt: to-day It is certain that the
treaty will be ratified as 1t will be that
It has been after the vote has been
taken.
"Of the senators who will vote IN
favor OF the treaty there Will be Re-
publicans as well as Democrats who
are opposed in principle as well as in
theory TO the trans-oceanic expansion
OF our national domain, They take,
however, and very properly the view
that the question OF expansion per Sc
Is not involved in the consideration of
the peace treaty, aud that after the
treaty has been ratified and Spain has
been eliminated as factor in the
Philippine problem, 1t will be time
enough to consider the policy to be
pursued in dealing with the Philippines
and Just here will come the real con-
test on the question OF expansion"
Mr. Howell then says that after the
treaty has been finally disposed Of q
resolution will be introduced making
declaration OF the proposed policy OF
this government in dealing with the
Philippines. and that this resolution
will be framed very nuch on the basis
OF the Cuban declaration, coincldent
with the declaration OF the war. In

Of this government be 10 give the peo-
pie OF Cuba free and independent

Mr.. Howell's SUMMARY concludes as
follows:
''As the result OF the final encounter
over the resolution It may be that the

badly severed party lines and that out
Of It may. be furnished the battle cries
around which viii be formed the lines

to the end that peace and prosperity
may be restored. SO tar as ID practica-
bic all efticient civil ohicers will be rec
tanned In the Official positions they now
occupy and fair and impartial justice

It has been decided not to give out
the text Of the instructions to General
Otis till about the time Of their arrival
IN Manila which will be month hence.
The instructions also make temporary
arrangements for coasting trade, much

The cabinet also decided that exiatlnG
conditions justified a further reduction
Of the military forces Of the United
States and the secretary Of war was
instructed to make arrangements for

volunteers. The details Of the execu-
