A Jefferson County Family.

The following from The Madison
Democrat ought to be of general inter-
est to the people of Jefferson county:
"GeOrge u. Greene, an able and dis
tlnguished lawyer, would doubtless
receive the appointment of justice of
the supreme court as successor to the
lamented Judge Newman if he would
accept. 1t is apparent that he is the
first choice of large majority of the
bar of the state His eminent fitness
for the place is conceded by all. The
reason why he is so strongly commend
ed is because he is emphatically
lawyer. He has never mixed in poll
tics, and since his admission to the
bar he has held no office nor been
candidate for any, but has devoted his
whole time to the practice of his pro-
fession.

of law in Madison in the office of

Must Appoint Inspectors.

Assistant Attorney General John L.
Erdall has, at the request of the Re-
publican state committee, given an
opinion of the new caucus law, which
has been sent out to the chairmen of
the several county committees in the
state. He holds that the law is applic-
able to all cities in the state so far as
general elections are concerned; that
it is not made applicable to cities of
the third and fourth class so far as
municipal elections are concerned un-
less a vote is taken and a majority
vote therefor, pursuant to section II of
said chapter; that the law is made
applicable to villages and towns as
well as cities, in counties having a
population of 10000 or more. At
the present time there is only one
such county-Milwaukee.
Under this opinion it becomes neces-
sary to the holding of the general
elections in all parts of the state, that
caucus inspectors should be chosen by
the city or county committees before
February l, to serve during the ensu-
ing year.

Jade.

Jade, the Chinese symbol Of the soul,
is one of the most interesting minerals
in the world. 1t is possessed of peculiar
interest to the mineralogist because of
its unique mineral properties, to the
chemist because of dispute as to it's
elementary composition, to the ethnolo-
gist because of its peculiar uses, to the
archeologist because of its strange as
sociations with early history, TO the
poet because Of its symbolic character
in literature and to the philosopher be-
cause of its association i'll the philosophy
of the sages, with various virtues out of
which grew the Chinese symbolism
the soul
Jade is best described by the famil-
lar name of pebble, of which it is the
finest variety in respect of texture, the
heaviest and the hardest known to the
lapidary. 1t is susceptible of high
polish and is so tenacious that it can be
cut into the most intricate and fragile
shapes. There are exceptional tints, but
here jade may only be said to range in
color from ivory white to deep olive
green. Among substances known to the
mineralogist it has no rival in the num-
Der of its fascinations, and no apology,
therefore, is offered for ranking it with
precious stones. Good Words.

out It therefore may he, in the light
of present circumstances and condi-
tions. many years before affairs there
have so shaped themselves as to entrust
the island to the Cubans and we finally
yield our possession TO them. The tran

and demonstration of the abilities of
