The CENSOR publishes to-day, a COM
munication regarding General Rogers
ability and popularity as an officer in the
army, from the pen of Captain Riley, of
Genoa. The basis for the same is an
article recently published in the Soldiers
Grove Advance concerning Mr.. Rogers
candidacy for governor, and it is plain
that Capt. Riley has been misinformed Of
the facts. With the article in question
before us, we find no reference 10 Gener-
al Rogers splendid war record, as
complained of. Indeed, the very opposite
is the case. We would do injustice to
both Captain Riley and the Advance not
TO make this statement in connection
with the publication of the letter.

The United States senate is just now
in a most perplexing tangle over the
house bill taxing commerce between
Puerto Rico and this country. No ques-
ton of governmental policy has excited
public comment and discussion for years
as that now pending, The matter should
be speedily arranged or the republi cans
will have exceeding trouble in retaining
ascendency in the house, and perhaps
the presidency, in~the next election.
There are, unquestionably, strong argu-
ments ON both sides of the controversy.
However, the country appears to have
taken President Mckinley seriously
when, in his annual message to congress,
he recommended unrestricted trade with
Puerto Rico. Scarcely leading daily
republican paper in the great west and
middle west but has taken strong grounds
against the imposition of fifteen per
cent. lax proposed by congress Like
all great questions. this should be dis
cussed candidly and with view to
right not expediency

CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

Mondoyi Herald: The public man
who attempts to cater to public senti-
ment is sure to get into trouble. He
will be often misled and misinformed
by the noisy and irresponsible classes
and find himself on the unpopular side
of questions. The only safe way is to
shut his eyes and do what his judgment
and conscience tells him is right. He
will make some mistakes, of course, but
they viii not be half as numerous nor az
glazing as they will be where he truckles
to what is called public sentiment.
The way to keep close to the people is
to do right. The people are seldom
wrong ON questions of principle and
they are not slow to commend their
public officials who ''hew to the line let
the chips fall where they will +"
The Minneapolis Times remarks that
the election of United States senators
by auction should be unconstitutional.
This is provoked by the Clark and Quay
cases now pending in the senate.
Lancaster Teller; Citizens interested
in town affairs, as every good citizen is,
should not forget that town election
time is near at hand. They should con
suit with each other with view to the
choice of the most capable and best men
for the public service, and then meet in
caucus or convention and nominate them.
There is but one place in all the state
of Wisconsin where everyone has to be
good according to law; where everyone
has to go to church regularly every Sun
day; where no man can get drink of
intoxicating liquors, and swearing is
not permitted; where every man keeps
regular hours but it is not the town
you live in; that place is the Waupun
pepitentiary. Eek.
