WISCONSIN TN LINE.
Leading Men I'm the Wolverine State
Believe That Bryan Will Cnp-
ture Their Commonwealth.

/ Democrats who have travelled con-
siderably throughout this section OF
| the country, says a special from La
Crosse, Wis, bring in surprising re-
ports that the people are angry at the
republican administrations misdeeds,
and will have no more of it.
In fact, they say that it looks as II
Bryan viii carry Wisconsin, which has
always been given to the republicans.
and with a good-sized majority, toe.
Principal among the objections to
Mark Hanna's administration is the
attitude of the party in power on i'm.
perialism and trusts.
| The German-Americans are loud in
| their denunciation of McKinley's atti-
tude toward the Philippines, and be-
lieve that it is his intention to turn
the government into monarchy. Such
| is the feeling through this congression-
al district, and reports from Minnesota,
on the other si6es of the Mississippi
river, are Of the same nature.
Hon. James J. Hogan, who gained
considerable notoriety in 1896 by fight
ing Bryan and the silver platform,
| but who now is one of the most staneh
supporters of the next president, has
refused to allow the use of his name as
candidate for governor. His large
business interests will prevent him from
making the run, although he is ac-
knowledged to be one of the strongest
democrats in the state at the present
time.
Attorney C. L. Hood, who has been
suggested for the place, also refuses to
run, giving as his reason that he could
not give up his law practice.
This leaves only one person in this
section of the state who has been men
toned for the candidacy, Hon. Wen
dell A. Anderson, mayor of La Crosse,
and the best the city has ever had.
This is acknowledged by the majority
Of citizens, republicans as well as DEM
ocrats. Mayor Anderson has been
spoken of for the position several times,
but he refused to run. He has not yet
refused to be candidate this year,
and it is thought that he can be in
duced to do so.
Mayor Anderson served two terms
under Cleveland's administration as
consul to Montreal, Can, and ac-
quilted himself remarkably in this po-
sition.
In connection with Mr.. Hogan it
might be added that this change of
opinion regarding Col. Bryan was
brought about by hunting trip with
him on Col. Wetmore's reserve in the
Ozark mountains. He also spent a
couple of weeks with him on fishing
expedition at Minoequa, Wis.
He has many interesting experiences
to tell of these outings and is always
ready to do so.
He says Mr.. Bryan is the most won
.derful man he ever knew, honest as
the day is long and the best possible
man for the nations chief executive

in the organization of every ter
ritory under democratic administra-
tion congress confined itself strictly
within the limitations of the constitu-
ton of the United States. Such q
thing as the power of congress to over
step the bounds of the constitution in
legislating for the territories or any
other subject would have been regard
ed by the democrats as monstrous had
it been suggested. The republicans,
on the other hand, declare that in legis-
lating for the territories and govern
ing them congress and the administers
tion are above the federal constitution.

Courting Death,

II have courted death upon the
field of battle" cried the hero, @and
all in vain!"
The heroine curIed as TO her proud
lip with scorn.
'.Of course" she sneered, there's
only one way to court death right,
and that is to let your life insurance
lapse!''

were put there for no purpose en-.
cept to extract information for se.
| publican use.
The system in the census depart
ntent is simple. Any returns which
do not carry out the republican the
ory can be ignored and other COM
binations made. Nobody will be the
wiser. The work is so divided and
classified that neither employees nor
chiefs of divisions can be sure just
how the statistics are to be used in
the final tabulation.
4 Director Merriam is honestly and
frankly a partisan. He was disap-
pointed at not being made one of Nc
kinley's cabinet, but he is doing serv-
ice now which should entitle him to
promotion if the country decides that
itfwants another four years OF inn
periaIfsm and trust control
Merriam is not a statistician. but
he gathered about him a number Of
shrewd manipulators of figures who
have had experience in various states.
They can produce statistics from the
census reports which will prove be-
yond doubt that the moon is made of
green cheese or any other absurdity
desired.
Do-Nothing Policy.
The administration drifts little
nearer war with China every day, It
is trying to do nothing in particular
and thus please everybody. This poll
cy has not the desired result.
Our troops with few thousands
Of the allied forces have started for
Peking. It will be little short of
miracle If any fragment of them are
ever heard from again alive. There
are about 100000 Chinese blocking the
way, and they are armed with mod
ern rifles and know how to fight.
Whether the minister and citizens
are alive or dead the administration
has missed its chance by not call
ing congress III extra session at once,
sending $4,000 troops, if necessary, to
their relief, and then getting out of
China and leaving the allies to do
what they liked. Bryan would have
done that had he been in the white
house.

The dwelling owned by Mr.. Mark.

was almost, if not entirely, destroyed
by fire On Thursday night about
1855 p. m. The residence at the
time was occupied by Mr.. A. NJ.
Lindsey and family, and she origin
of the fire cannot be ACCOUNTED for.
This ia the same family who were so
unfortunate as to be burned out in the
Baker Addition recently, but in the
recent fire they succeeded in saving
all their 'valuables. The water
works proved to be very effective,
and the two streams that were in
play continually cane with much
force and telling results. The fire
was finally subdued, but not until
the building was almost total ruin.
We learn that the Insurance Oh the
property was estimated at about
$500, which Wills only cover about
,one-third of tile total damages.
