A circular is being sent to clergy
men by 1.-THE American Rad, " what
ever that may be, urging them TO act
as solicitors for signatures TO one OF
two statements: lst; favoring Great
Britain in her war to conquer the
South African Republics, or End: ia
vor the United States Offering to me-
date between Great Britain and the
Republics, for the purpose Of putting
stop to the war. Here is an instance
of futile folly" or something worse.
The ostensible object of this circular
is TO get an expression Of sympathy
for the Beers, for it is evident that
all who deprecate war would by pref
erence express a wish to see it closed,
and consider that the signing Of their
names 30 the second article would
have some influence with the govern
ment as the article suggests. Sympa-
thy for the Beers does no harm and
its efficiency is expressed by the fox in
the fable of the Fox in the Well"-
"Pity is cold com fort when one is up
to his ears in water" But the real
intent of this circular is to embarrass
the administration and bring it into
disrepute Our patriotic clergymen
Tepudiate the scheme.

Baldwin, by prompt and efficient
action escaped what otherwise might
have been a serious epidemic OF small
poX. As it was, but one man had the
disease and he contracted it at Spring
Valley. This man went 60 Baldwin
to visit sister and while there came
down with smallpox. He was imme-
diately isolated and the family which
he had been visiting quarantined.
Last week the man was discharged
from the isolation hospital and those
under quarantine released as no one
else had developed the disease and
there was no further danger of infec-
ton.

We publish today an open letter
from Hon Robert M. La Toilette, adj
dressed to the Republican voters OF
Wisconsin, in which he announces bis
decision to appear before the state
convention to be held at Milwaukee,
August Sth, 1900, as candidate for
the Republican nomination for the
office of Governor. The letter is a
comprehensive document, clearly de-
timing Mr.. La Follette's attitude,
and we commend it TO our readers as
meriting careful perusal. His ag-
gressive and successful advocacy OF
needed reforms, in the face of most
determined opposition within his own
party, has given him reputation far
beyond local limits. as a safe leader,
and one in whom the people have con-
tidence. The announcement of Mr..
La Follette's candidacy gives an in
creased interest 60 the gubernatorial
canvass, as it is evident that he will
enter the convention backed by a
support greater than that of purely
local character.
