AT last one cause for the political
seer's cares and vexations has been
removed by the final announcement
by Gov. Scofe1d that he does not want
and will not accept the nomination for
a third term. While this very pointed
and not at all ambiguous statement on
the part of the Governor has put at
rest the comments that have lately
been rife concerning the plans and
ambitions of Mr.. Scofe1d, it cannot be
said that the declaration is a pleasing
one to the large majority of Badger
citizens who have watched with pride
and interest the very wise and sue
cessfu1 manner in which Gov. Scofe1d
had performed the duties and borne
the responsibilities of the head execu-
tive of the State.
But though the Governors an
nouncement is not hailed with delight,
and notwithstanding the ability of
which he has proved himself possessed
and the pleasure with which it would
welcome him to another terms service,
the Republican party is not struck
with apprehension or CONSERVATION by
Gov. Scofe1d's withdrawal. There is
more material on hand any way than
time will ever suffice to utilize. Of
course there is strong probability that
the situation that now arises will pre-
cipitate a struggle among other aspir-
ants for the Governorship more severe
than would have followed if the pres
ent incumbent had acted differently,
but that can best be cared for when
the time arrives. The question that
absorbs attention at once is that of
Gov. Scofe1d's successor. AS far as
the Republican nomination is con-
cerned, there are several possibilities
in sight and any one of them could be
depended upon to give good account
of himself if chosen to fill the difficult
place, not made any the easier by the
splendid record and example left by
Gov. Scofie1d.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, 1899.

AT last good times and prosperity
have favored the kicker and calamity
bowler. A large number of men
throughout the country are unem-
p1oyed. It is true that the cause IS the
great amount of business being done
and the unusual demand that makes it
impossible to secure the raw material
fast enough to keep the vast amount OF
labor busy and the enormous number
of orders filled, but this fact makes no
difference with the fact as good and
legitimate cause for the chronic kick

ANOTHER PIONEER DEAD.
william Hill. for Half Century Resi-
dent of Kenosha. Passes Away.

Another break was made in the
ranks of the early pioneers of Kenosha
last evening when William Hill, for
over half a century resident of this
city, passed away at his home on Park
street. Nearly every one in the city
was acquainted with the deceased and
the notice of his death will be read
with sorrow in many homes.
Mr.. Hill was one of the very early
settlers of the county. He was an
Irishman by birth, having been born
in Rosso, county of Mayo, Ireland, on
the oath of June, 1910. He was son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Hill. In 1885
the deceased was married to Miss
Bridget Mcintyre, also resident OF
Ireland, and seven years later the
couple left Ireland and came to this
country. For about five years they re-
sided in Canada, but came to Kenosha
in the summer of 1847. Since that
time Mr.. Hill has resided continuously
in this city. In early life Mr.. Hill was
a mason and his work was in great de-
mand. In the building of many of the
early buildings of the city he took an
important part. About twenty years
ago he retired from active work and
has since lived a retired life at his
home on Park street. Three children
survive the father as follows: Michael
Hill, a sailor living at Cleveland,
Ohio; William E. Hill, Of this city,
and Mrs. Margaret Moran, of Chicago.

THERE were a few people scattered
over the broad face of the earth who at
the time the proposition was made to
present Admiral Dewey with a home
purchased with the subscriptions OF
the people, had the temerity to venture
the opinion that such a proposition
was impracticab1e and would be re-
fused by the Admiral. But it seems
that, though the fund has fallen far
short of the original proposition, 1T
has taken quite squirt since Admiral
Dewey reached home, and that the
Admiral is not quite so squeam1sh
about accepting the gift as these de-
1uded individuals apprehended. IT
there had been more confidence felt
that the gift would prove acceptable
there can be no doubt that the fund
would have been far greater than 1t
now is. However, it seems to be large
enough to thoroughly please the Ad-
mira1 and make us fellows who are on
the outside feel little green.

ADMIRAL DEWEY is firm in his be-
lief that the instruction in the Philip
pines should be suppressed at all haz-
ards. He leaves the question of the
future government of the islands to be
settled hereafter, but insists that be-
fore anything else is done the insur-
reCtionists must be completely sub
dued. To accomplish this purpose
thoroughly and quickly the Admiral
declares that it is absolutely necessary
that the whole coast of the island of
Luzon be efficiently b1ockaded. For
this purpose he advises the immediate
increase of the number of light draft
and fast boats in the waters about the
Philippines. Thereby it is believed
that the arms and ammunition and
supplies generally can be so effectively
cut off that, if Otis pushes his work
persistent1y, the work of subduing the
Filipinos will be speedily accomplished.
No doubt there is no one, either pri-
vate or official, who is better able to
present the position in those far off
islands or devise a remedy than Ad-
mira1 Dewey, who was the first man on
the scene and has been an eye witness
up to the last few weeks. Much of his
advice in the matter has already been
accepted and acted upon by the Gov
eminent. 1t is altogether likely that
in the matter of b1ockading all of his
suggestions will be needed.

Manila, Feb. 23.-With dalight the
enemy commenced worrying tactics at
various parts of the American line, ap-
parently for the purpose of withdraw
ing attention from affairs inside the
city. An attempt was made to rush
through our extreme left near Caloo-
can, but 1t was promptly checked by
hot and effective muskery and artillery
fire.
In the meantime small bodies of
rebels. evidently some of those engaged
in the cowardly work at Tondo. spread
out between tho city and the outposts.
Every available man was sent to drive
them away, with the result that there
was desultory firing all the morning.

casualties are one man killed and 10

AT IL o'clock there were sharp en-
gagements at the Chinese cemetery
and San Pedro MacatI almost stimuli

both positions drove the enemy back.
From the high towers OF the city
Ares can be seen burning at a dozen
