One of the most notable gatherings
of recent days was that of the race
congress which met in Montgomery,
Alabama, last week to discuss the negro
problem. Distinguished orators,
thinkers and statesmen from North and
South made eloquent talks along the
line of what are we going to do with
our colored brother" The question is
beginning to trouble many who live
north of Mason and Dixon's line worse
than it is the people where the negro
makes home in the greatest numbers.
In Mississippi the negro will go right
on raising corn and cotton and ~obeying
the laws laid down to him by his
superiors. We could get along with
out hin-but we wouldn't want to.

The populists in their convention
last week at Sioux Falls, placed ia
nomination w. j.. Bryan for the presi-
dency, and Chas. A. Towne. of Mime.
sofa as Vice president. 1t is not at al
probable that the Democrats will EN-.
dorse the nomination of Towne. They
cannot afford to do it. A mar is need
ed who has seen the stress Of years and
who has borne the brunt in many a
hard fought battle for the people
some man who is known through the
length and breadth OF the land for his
nobility OF character and devotion to
principle. Again the Democrats can
not afford to be too populistic and en-
dorse in toto the work OF a populistic
convention. Mr.. Towne was formerly
a Republican, and as such served the
third Minnesota district in congress-.
In 1896 he bolted the Republican party
on the silver question and has since
passed as a free silver Republican. He
is a strong man where known, bril-
liant, aole and thoroughly to be trus
ted, but he will not do for Bryan's run
ming mate on the tandem team.

Senator Clark, OF Montana, is about
the swiftest political race horse on the
entire circuit. Just as the senate had
decided to declare his seat vacant Clark
resigned, and the lieutenant governor
OF his state Immediately nominated
him to fill the vacancy. The governor
OF Montana was against Clark, so his
resignation was shrewedly timed, that
the lieutenant governor, in the absence
OF his superior, could take action. So
after all Clark wins out after a fight
extending over the present session Of
congress.

The assessor Of Kinds county is
after the tax dodger in earnest, and he
proposes TO put over a million dollars
worth of property on the tax rolls
which was not there last year. He
has made a search of the books of record
and has the names Of those holding
mortgages, deeds of trust, etc, and in
his rounds when the holder fails to give
in this taxable but invisible property
the assessor gently but firmly reminds
him of his Observation-Disclosures. 1t has
always been, and doubtless always will
be, the rule that those best able TO a
taxes are the most adroit and persis-
tent in refusing to divulge the amount
and value OF their possessions. An
assessor who goes after these people in
the right way can force them TO a
more proper observance OF the oaths
they take when they sign the asses
ment roll. 1t is noticeable that saints
and sinners stand on equal ground
when it comes to this matter of swear
ing falsely to the tax assessor. Some
will give ten dollars to the church
without a nurmur, and then dissimu-
late and deceive to ave one dollar in
taxes. All should be willing to bear
their just and equitable share of the
taxes, which are raised and dispensed
for the equal good and protection of all.
The assessor is now out among the peo-
pie, and those who tell their neigh
bors hat they have 1000 worth OF
furniture should not let the value sud-
denly decrease to $500, or the assessor
might want to buy it. Public burdens
would be SO vastly easier If every man
were honest. 1t is the surest road to
happiness.

The press and the people are still
playing a merry tattoo on the late
order OF the State executive com mittee,
providing for primaries to elect dele
yates to the national convention at
Kansas City. Several counties have
already repudiated the order and will
fail to hold a primary. Pressure is
being brought TO bear TO hdye the
order annulled, The people want a
good old fashioned state convention,
where the policy of the party may be
formulated and its faith renewed. 1t is
hoped that the people, rather than the
politicians, still rule.

else the citizens of this town should
turn out next Tuesday and give Sena-
tor d. E. ,siordan a solid vote for re-
election. 1t counts for something to
have the senator from this place. 1t
should be matter of pride to all OF us
that citizen of this place has been
able to secure SO prominent a position
as state senator over such cities as
Merrill, Rhinelander Amigo, and
others in this district That Dan has
made an influential senator is proven
by the fact that he received the chair
manship of the COMMITTEE on revision OF
the laws, the most important matter
that has come before the legislature IN
the past four years. 1t was strong at
hesitation to his worth az senator when
such counties as Lincoln, Langlade,
Oneida, Taylor ana Price were ready
to lay aside local pride and give him
an unanimous denomination where a
denomination was equivalent to Il re-
election. This was an endorsement
that not only he but the people here
have the right to feel proud of and they
should show that they appreciate it by
giving him d solid vote
