The republican congressional conVen
ton has been called to meet at Wausau
On the 9th day OF August. There prom
Ises TO DC a lively time there. Con-
gresham Stewart is seeking a renom-
nation but is meeting with great
deal OF opposition Among the candl-
dates who have been mentioned in OPP
position to him are Hon. $. S. Miller OF
Rhinelander Hon. Robt. Jackson OF
Shawno. Hon. Geo. w. LattO'Of Amigo,
and Judge Cochran OF Ashland. Our
county only has two votes and there
fore wills not cut much OF figure.
Just who they will support is not known.
The rank and file of the party favor ;.
S. Miller of Rhinelandes for the reason
that thev know him and know that he
would q creditable representative
1t is supposed that Stewart will receive
the support of the professional polll-
lions and if so he will probably cap
ture the delegates. Every one knows
that his only qualification is his money
but that goes long way with the pro-
fessional politicians.

1T RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE.

The fact cannot be concealed nor ig-
nored, that there are two powerful fac
lions in the republican party in this
state and the time is rapidly approach
ing when there will be d conflict be-
tween the warning factions that may
result in the loss of the state to the re-
publicans, as was the case in 1880.
One faction fayOrs the taxation Of cor
pOrations to the extent, that they shall
paw the same ratio of taxes as private
individuals. also, a change in our eau
Gus laws that purer politics may result
and an untiring and unceasing war
fare on the so-called political machine
in the state. The other, the sO-called
machine, which has to a great extent,
controlled the politics in the state, the
past thirty years-and largely in its
own interests, has given the people
MANY laws that have been in the inter-
est of the people, but have not imposed
too heavy burdens on the corporate in
terests, as was wise and just, all clrcum-
stances being considered. There is no
question but that the people demand
different laws regarding the taxation
of CORPORATIONS: and it is also true,
that they desire a radical change in
the primary laws of the state. They
have it in their own hands and can
bring about the reforms by electtng
men tothe legislature who will crystal
ize their wishes into laws and elect men
to Office who will execute and enforce
such laws. Itrests entirely with them
and no one else-and If they fail they
know where to lay the blame for such
failure Rice Lake Leader, rep

PRICE HEMP DOUBLED
A War Result that will Affect Farmers
Throughout Civilization.

New York, July 5.-The World says:
AdmiralDewey's blockade of the Phil
lippines threatens to create a cordage
dearth throughout the civilized world.
1t has doubled the price Of manila rope
and Irvine in this country, and by doubs
ling the value Of manila hemp has made
fortunes fer manufacturers, who had
large stocks IN reserve.
The John Good Cordage and Machine
company, which was forced into the
hands Of a receiver several months ago
was among the concerns which held a
reserve stock of the hemp, and steps are
being taken to reol ganize the company
on a solid financial basis. John Good,
Of cordage fame, discussed the situation
at the machine works, Park and Wash
ington avenues, Brooklyn.
cit will require, he said, "about
l50000,000 pounds OF Manila to bind
this years wheat crop in the United
States and from gthe closest estimates
we can make We find the present supply
of Manila hemp, outside of the Phil
ippine islands, Will be exhausted in
three months. AS considerable time is
required to transport the hemp from
Manila tothis country, we will have to
arrange matters soon or the cordage
manufactures will find themselves with
out any raw material.
''In that event the great Western
wheat farms would soon have no bind
ing material to use on their reapers,
and might be forced back to the old
fashioned method of binding sheaves
with straw. This would be tremen-
dous task in the fields, which cover
miles upon miles of territory, and might
result in the loss of much of the grain
through exposure to the weather.
Sisol Irvine, the material fer which
comes from Mexico, might be substi-
tuted in the reapers for the Manila, but
the supply of that is limited, and would
certainly not be SUI efficient to meet the
demand.
you may gain some idea of the I'M
mensity of the demand when I tell you
that the l50000.000 pounds of Irvine re-
quired this year by the farmers, would
contain ninety billion lineal feet, and
would cost them about $4,000. 600.
Since the war began the price of Man
liza hemp has run up from to 81 cents
q pound. think tits selling at cents
today. English merchants, through
their local agents, are offering it for
sale here at the market price, but will
not guarantee it's delivery at any speci-
fed time

In every state where political ma

such domination and in few states is

hands of better men than in Wisconsin
Robert NJ. La Toilette is the leader OF
the movement in the state. His fear
less oratory and his earnest fight for

with his good judgement on public

Omaha, Neb., June 22.-The dedica-
ton of the Illinois building at the ex-
position Tuesday was the occasion for
large gathering at the grounds. Sew
eral thousand people from Illinois
aided in the celebration. while the state
officers of Illinois and Nebraska joined

Another Expedition to Start for

Shafter on Thursday.

Washington, June 22.-Two months
ago Tuesday war broke out between the
United States and Spain, according to
the proclamation of the president and
the declaration of congress. The end
of that period finds nearly 10000 United
States troops lying off Santiago, prepar-
ing to land; it finds cable communica-
ton established between the govern
ment at Washington and the advance
guard of the expedition in Cuba, and it
finds Cuban territory in the possession
of United States marines, backed by a
squadron, and nearly all of the COM
mercial ports of Cuba blockaded. This
is all apart from Dewey's great victory
at Manila, and from the splendid re-
suits achieved in organizing several
armies now in the camps. Therefore
the officers of the administration feel
that they have right to look back with
pride over what has been accomplished
in the short space of two months, work
