WISCONSIN PRESS ASSOCIATION
AND WOOD PULP.

The Wisconsin Press Association ex-
hioited lack Of business Judgment IN re-
! fusing to adopt the resolution asking for
removal of custom duties on pulp wood
If it would appear that politics was IN
jected by the adoption of the resolution,
the rejection is equally aproof OF the ex-
. istence Of politics. No sensible man Will
claim that the paper mills are in need of
protection as infant industries. If they
could exist at all at past prices, an IN
crease Of 100 per cent. must result In
nice surplus, all at the expense of news
papers.
| 1t il serious criticism upon a class
of men who regard themselves AZ the
molders of public opinion that the fear
I of injuring a political party by pro
nonncing against al eXtordon should
| induce them to permit the continuance
Of that extortion themselves being the
victims. Suppose the charge of politics
should be made would that affect the
question Of right involved or make less
tenable the position which the associa-
ton should take? II politics is hurt in
sustaining wrong, politics would be
simply getting its deserving,
1t was simply "a business proposition
and should he dealt with as such 1t we
think it better to bear theills we have.
and our voices have been heavy with
the burden Of com plant, than to prick
party into consciousness that grievous
wrong is being in its name, then we are
pitifully, in fact, cOntemptibly weak.
The excuse given that the demand for
print paper has increased is but an add
ed reason why the tariff should be re-
moved II the mills are unable to meet
the demands other avenues Of supply
should be opened.
1t may be urged with some reason that
the writer should he present at the meet
ing 10 present views which now are en-
titled to no hearing, But it is hard to
resist the desire to castigate folly.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

THE character Of Lincoln broadens
with the passage uf time. Whether 1t
is thai people make him center for at
tributes of greatness which every one
desires to see in concrete form, or wheth-
or the perspective of time enables rs to
view and Judge him better than could
be done when his qualities were display
ing themselves is of no consequence.
He is one of the nation idols and a ma
ton without an idol is a nation without
ideals
Men like Lincoln who are regarded rs
he IL, elevate the standard Of humanity,
more in contemplation Of the virtues
they are credited with having possessed
than in what they did And still men
who are IN popular estimation invested
with the attributes of perfection, We're

sibilities of exhibition Of human weak
ness and their character is viewed in the
light of their greatness and their frall-
ties are eliminated,
No such man rs Washington is popu-
larly supposed to have been could be
made of flesh and blood. and the Great
Lincoln if he appeared in life before us
to-day would soon be divcste1 of many
of the qualities it gives ms pleasure to
think Of having been his.
The creative faculty of imagination is
strong III mature people as well as in
children It lifts the race to higher planes
of moral susceptibility. There is no in
telligent citizen who will not gather in

Of Lincoln as it appears to him. All that

There is only one way to cure deafness,

inflammation can be taken out and this

A STORY is going the rounds OF New

his great power as a social leader to Sc
cure recognition of Mrs. Langtry in New

Mrs Langtry was snubbed when she
appeared in New York and she appealed
to the Prince of Wales through an in
termediary to use his influence in her
behalf He at once issued ukase to
the 400 that English society would be
closed to them if they did not give Mrs.
Langtry social recognition and the lick.

THE n. y. World in an editorial de
signed to show the utter folly Of making
an issue of 10 10 in the coming presid-
entail campaign, shows the steady loss
of the democratic party since 1896 be
cause of attachment to the silver ques-
ton which il CharaCtcriZes as an abstrac-
ton In reply to Bourke Cochran state
meut that Mr., Bryan cannot be induced
to drop free silver. The World points ont
that for IA years before 1896 he was just
~ ardent a champion Of tariff reform ~
he has since been of free silver, but he
dropped it, The World points out that
where there was one trust then there are
hundred now and that the tariff is the
nurse of trusts.
The fact is that Bryan's devotion /,
silver comes from n mingling of petu-
lance and vaiuglory He perceives the
need of dropping it but fears his reputa
! ton for consistency aud unwaverinp
purpose would suffer He would be
\ pleased if the ISSUE could bc spirited
