MILWAUKEE is very much wrought
up by the valuation put upon that city
by the State Board of Equalization. The
people of that city say that one-half the
rise in the valuation OF the property OF
the state was placed upon Milwaukee
property, and that it is unjust.
Perhaps SO; but unless it IL wide OF
justice Milwaukee has not been pay
ing its share i'll the past. The prob
ability is that the apportionment made
is more nearly right, as fax rs Milwau-
kee is concerned, than was any of the
past. Milwaukee has always given per.
sonal attention to state equalization and
with good results so far as her local in
terests are concerned.

AN INDIANA judge has adopted one
way of putting an end to the trust nui-
sance An injunction suit was brought
by an organization to prevent Indiana
manufacturers from transferring their
Ilstnts to trust organized with capital
of SIT 900, 000. The judge held with the
persons bringing the s1it.
The purpose Is better than the results
VIII be. In IA large number Of cases in
whiGh trusts secure control of factories
there would be no need cf injunctions to
prevent sale if the proWietors of these
factories could feel safe outside the
trusts There's the rub. Those who
join uuwillingly jDin through fear. They
krow they would be promptly wiped
ont by the combine if they refused to
join it, and the people would assist the
trusts in doing it. 1t is not the trust it.

Gov. SCOFIELD in announcing his de
termination not to be a candidate third
time, takes occasion ~ refer with natur-
al feeling to the attacks made upon him
while candidate in 1898 He says it
was not his purpose To seek a second
election, but the detraction of which he
was the object made it imperative on
him to enter the field. rs his retiring
would be construed as an acknowledge
ment of the justice of the charges made.
There is more than touch of pathos
in the governor explanation and de-
cided dash of resentment. But his first
administration cannot be judged by his
second. He profted by the mistakes he
had made Instead of multiplying them,
as most executive officers do. Had he to
| be judged by his first two years of ser
vice, the Judgment would be harsh and
with some reason

attention to those who have least oppor-

good. sensibly felt in good citizenship and

He is the head of the movement for
good reads in that county. The import

preciated when results come to be realiz-

Stout. the results are brought about by
the active interest of the people to- be

Another work has had its initiative
from kim. That Is the identifying OF
school yards and the relieving of the
gloomy features of the school room by
simple decorations A neglected yard

Samuel J. Tilden was furled by the fol-
lowers of Bryan, in 1896 and it will not
be unfurled by them. Bryan stands for
nothing in which / believe. | am not
going to be DISTINGUISHED. nor am going
to become political eunuch because the
party has left me | am going to act
with the party that no V represents at
least a part Of my principles, and with
which | am nearest in agreement the
Republican party.
shall always be proud of the work in
1896, by this Committee and of the splen
did support had in that work from you
and the other members of the Commit

BRYAN'S throat and lungs have be-
come affected from persistent talking
and his physician has counseled long
rest. The physical endurance of this
man is most remarkable There are few
who would attempt the work which he
takes up with such avidity that it is IA
passion. and of the few who would a
majority would fail to equal Bryan en-
durance He is physically strong and
his life has been SO temperate on all lines,
except that of talking that excessive in
diligence in that form of dissipation

constitution He speaks with exhaust
ing earnestness though not with the ner

this may be due the wonderful endur

SENATOR DENNET has announced that
he is not candidate for the republican
nomination for governor This will be

the reason that Senator Dennett was in

perience in public affairs 1t is quite

looks with some wishfulness toward the

AN editorial appearing elsewhere on
Mr.. Usher's course was written before
the receipt of bis letter of resignation
and without expectation that any such
letter was intended. 1t has no specific
reference to what Mr. Usher says and is
a discussion of the subject in general
sense. In view of the relations had with
Mr.. Usher for some years, something
more pertinent may not be deemed inap-
propriate.
The liberty is taken to quote from a
private letter enclosed with what is pub
lished He says:
Il can confess to some bitterness at
parting from the work of lifetime, of
hopes and aspirations for the higher ac-
comphshments of Democratic principles.
But, rs You know, firmly believe the
route of progress now lies in another di-
rection and feel it my duty in my fee
BILE way to be positive, not a negative
quantity in shaping my country's des-
tiny so far as my small sphere may give
me opportunity.
There may be a feeling of exultation
there is no cause for glory, in driving
such man as Mr. Usher from the party
His political belief is the same to-day as
it was while he was fighting for the sue
cess of democratic principles within the
party, and later, when he sought to pre-
vent an abandonment of those principles
by the party which had won his allegi-
ance and to whose service he had given
his best efforts
Comment will be made by those whose
convictions are surface deep and whose
idea of party devotion is obedience to
caucus dictum, on Mr. Usher's back
sliding But the party which SO shapes
its policy as to incorporate with it the
sloughings of other political parties can
not be steeringa course which commands
confidence now, or incites the belief that
it is true to its past.
Men like Mr.. Usher do not abandon
old associations from slight cause. Their
labors in behalf of the party make their
attachment bond of cunsanguinity
The sorrow of parting is as strong as the
sense of duty which compels it 1t is
tragedy to men who honor conviction
The man who buries hope of that which
he loved and III whose integrity he had
such confidence that his best efforts
sprung forth in response to its needs,
feels that a portion of himself is m that
grave and his feelings make him nmper
vious to the gathering criticism of self
styled oracles whose capacity to instruct
is limited to the facility with which they
learn by rote.
The Pilot thinks Mr.. Usher n morr
hopeless OF the future of democracy than
the facts justify, and while it does not
approve the extremity of his resolution,
it can appreciate the motives which gov
ern him. 1t does not regard him as IA
republican, and knows that in taking the
step ne has, it is SOLELY for the purpose
of being in a position to give his opinions
weight through the agency of party or
ganization.
