A CANDID COMPLIMENT.

The La Crosse Chronicle, one of the
earnest and candid democratic papers in
the state, pays to President Mckinley
and his administration the following
deserved compliment, under the head
ing, 1.-TWO Years of Mckinley"
1t is two years to-day since Mr.. Nc
Kinley took the oath of Office as presi-
dent Of the United States. The past
year, especially, has been most momen-
tous in the history OF this people. With
ont going into discussion of the great
questions involved in the Spanish war,
it may be said that among fair minded
and unbiased Americans, Mr.. Mckinley
ia much stronger man than he was two
years ago to-day. Then many doubted
his ability to resist the influences to
which he was chiefly indebted for the
presidency. Today few Americans ques-
tion that he has been and is himself the
president. There is great praise in this
simple statement, and it is fact that
few, even Of those who may differ with
him on public politics, are now disposed
to question. There are two more mo-
memtous years to follow. 1t is to be
hoped that the president may grow in
greatness and in grace, to the end.

Leigh, m builder, living on Beard street,
relates tie following: II had been
troubled for three years with diabetes,
and I could gel nothing to give me any
relief. / read OF i cure of Mr.. Huber,
and I at once visited this gentleman,
and found that I could get cured by
using Dodd's Kidney Pills, am now
cured, and have only to thank Dodds
Kidney Pills"
The Huber case, to which Mr.. Leigh
refers. is one of the most rema rkable
ever known. Mr.. G.. T. Huber, highly
respected business man, was afflicted
with diabetes and his family physician
and eminent specialists pronounced his
case hopeless. The limit placed on his
life was five months. He was in such
terrible condition, bodily and mentally
that life was burden. Hope had been
given up when relation who had know
ledge OF cures effected by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills recommended them in Mr..
Huber's Case. He used and was cured.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are sold by drug
gists at 80 cents box, or six boxes for
$3.50. Sent by mail on receipt of price

A WARNING To PARTY MEN.

Black River Falls Banner: The as
ssmbly committee on railroads have re-
ported for passage the senate resolution
for the prohibition of free passes to pub
lie officials, with an amendment adding
the forfeiture OF office penalty clauses,
just as was proposed by Mr.. Hall, and
it will doubtless pass the assembly in
that form and 60 back to the senate for
ratification. II the ratification is not
forthcoming, and the senate shall see fit
to insist on spelling the utility OF the
measure or preventing It's passage then
we shall tremble for the success of the
party two years hence, and shall be dis
posed to regard as pertinent the sug-
gestion of The State that it twill be
easier to crawl through the eye of q
needle than to elect republican on the
old lines"

COLONEL cAssoN UNSUCCESSFUL.

Ex-Governor Merriam. of Minnesota.
: Secures the Census Iob-CoI. Casson
said TO Have Declined the Position Of
Assistant Director.
Washington correspondence of the Sentinel
AS an evidence of the quick manner
IN which contest over a federal office
can be settled, the appointment of ex-
dov. William X. Merriam, of Minnesota,
to be director of the census, made today,
stands without parallel. The matter
was not decided until a few minutes
before congress adjourned. The presi.
dent was at the capitol to sign the bills
ne they were passed, and within half an
hour of adjournment be sent for Repre-.
Babcock, who had been cham
pioning the candidacy of Col. Casson.
The president informed Mr.. Babco X of
his intention to appoint Mr.. Merriam.
This news was cot very satisfying to
the Third district cor gresham, who
claims to have had pretty positive init
nation that Col. Casson would be ap-
pointed. SO strong was he in the belief,
based, as he says, upon such information,
that he would not believe last night
that Mr.. Casson was ont of the race.
In ten minutes Merriam's name was be-
fore the senate, being sent from the
presidents room in the capitol, and in
the final executive session, within a few
moments before adjournment, the nomi-
nation WAS confirmed.
Col. Oasson takes his defeat cheerfully
and he will start for home on Monday
There is talk that his name will be sug-
gested for another place, but he said to-
day he is not candidate for any other
position. 1t is said he was offered the
position OF assistant director, with a
salary OF $4,000, but declined. A good
fight was made in Casson's behalf bv
the Wisconsin delegation and it is re-
what stroog endorsement
was worked up for him among repre-
sentatives from other states.
It appeared that Senator Mark Hanna
had the ear of the president with the
name of Merriam, and the Ohio people,
with strong backing from the MINES ts
delegation.
