TROUBLES THAT DO NOT COME.
OF the hard and weary loads
Meath which we bend and fan ss
The troubles that do not come isS5
Are the heaviest ones Of ALL 500
For grief that cuts like knife
There's oil OF comfort and cure,
And the hand which binds the weight
Brings strength and grace to endure.
But to phantoms of pain and woe
The lips of Pity are dumb,
And there's never oil or wine
For troubles that do not come.
There's song to tighten the toll
And staff for climbing the height,
But never an alpenstock
For the hills that are ought OF sight.
There are bitter herbs enough
In tho brimming cup OF today
Without the sprig OF rue
From toInorrow's unknown way.
Then take the meal that is spread
And go with song on thy way
And let not the morrow shade
The sunshine and joy OF today.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY % 1900.
A PERTINENT INQUIRY.

The CENSOR is In receipt of the official
call, promulgated by the official organi-
zation, for the convention to nominate
a republican candidate for congress III
this, the Third congressional district.
We are 80 limited for space and time
that it is impossible TO publish the call
today. The time named is April 24Eh,
at Baraboo, four or .fUe months an dd-
Uance Of former gears.
We believe that no republican will
claim that this calling of the convention
is not an unheard of move at so early a
date. If that is so there certainly must
be some valid reason therefor. And 1t
remains for those in authority to give
republicans the desired information 1t
is due the cali makers and the repu'li-
can party that the reasons be. made
plain. The CENSOR witholds further
comment till future issue. In the
meantime it is hoped that the people
viii be enlightened on this unusual
move We make no insinuations as to
what.we interpret this move contem-
plates. This is a year; that republicans
need harmony in the ranks, and it IS
not liable to prevail if snap" III We

BED-FELL0WS IN POLITICS.

to Political Success.
From the oconto Reporter


The politics which makes strange bed
fellows is known of all men who, having
eyes, see, and ears hear; Is that selfish
politics which puts aside personal and
publi3 honor, personal pride and a de-
cent self-respect, and every noble scntl-
ment which finds place in every honest
hear and expression by every honest
tongue While this repreb easible
sort of politics is an ever present witness
to the deprayity IF too many politicians,
such an opportunity TO see it in it's hid
eOusness is not often given 81. unsus-

clan, painted by himself, who has ong
been in official life, and it is to be fear d
