Washington, Dec. lO-There is war
on between the men who bossed Mr..
McKinley's campaign and MIR. Nc

ed the campaign compelled the repub-
licans on the House Ways and Means
committee to make reduction of %

The Cabinet objects and has even
been talking of fighting the bosses in

Kinley will probably result in making
It plain to them that the bosses are
not doing more than they we're bound

One republican, speaking OF the
Cabinet kicks, said: "Why instead

that the brewers are not demanding

MR.. r1ACrIAHON EXPLAINS.

Circuit Court Clerk MacMahon was
asked his position in regard to the fee
bill. He said Several inaccurate state
ments were published regarding my at
titude in the fee bill presented for pay
ment to the County board. In offering
the account only followed a precedent
long followed by clerks of the Circuit
court. That believe the bill is lawful
is sufficiently shown when / asked that
it be paid. If | had the least idea that
l was not entitled to the fees then the
bill would not have been rendered.
am of the same opinion now as | was
when the bill was submitted, and / be-
lieve that ultimately it will be allowed.
1t is not my intention to involve the
county in a costly law suit, for the mon
ey involved is so small, but it is the
principal at stake. 1t strikes ME as
strange that the legal interpreters of the
statute had to wait until the present
year to discover that the county has been
mulcted in illegal fees for so many
years. If the legal men are now right
there certainly has been delinquency
somewhere"

DEMOCRATS ACTIVE.
Preparations Being Made For
Convention June Y.
CONTEST OVER DELEGATES IS BRISK.
The Convention Will be Held in the Alhambra
Theater, one of the Best Meeting Plac.
es in Milwaukee--Candid
for District Delegates.

1t has been decided that the Demo-
cratic state convention will be held in
the Alhambra theater Milwaukee, June
10, and there promises to be a large
gathering of Democrats from every Sec
ton of the state. That the leaders an
ticipate harmonious gathering is evil
dent on all sides. No better place could
have been chosen than the Alhambra to
hold the proceedings in.
1t is mooted that a spirited contest
will be carried on for the privilege of
going to the national convention for the
honor of casting a vote for Mr.. Bryan
who to all appearances will be the only
nominee before the Kansas City conven-
ton.
The delegations from the several con-
gressional districts will have meetings in
various hotels to arrange for the work
of the state convention in the afternoon
In the Fourth district, which consists of
a large part of the city and county of
Milwaukee, there are Il large number of
candidates and others who are talked of
as possible available material. Two del
egates and two alternates are to be elect
ed from each district. Some of the fell
lows who fail to be elected as delegates
may finish as alternates
Among those who want to be Fourth
district delegates or who are spoken of
in that connection are James III. Slower,
A. j. SchmitZ, John j. Maher Henry j.
Gielens, Richard Burke, R. S. White,
Maurice A. McCabe, f. j. Stiglbauer
and John f. Donovan.
1t is also likely that Milwaukee will
get one of the four delegates at large
from this state. Mayor Rose is liable to
be the man, although he has opposition
from Thomas j. Fleming of North
Greenfield.
The Democrats have issued call for
preliminary meetings and caucuses for
the election of delegates to the Demo
cratic state convention for the election
of delegates to the national convention
to be held at Kansas City July 4 and
also call for a congressional conven-
ton of the Fourth district and for pre-
liminary meetings and caucuses to elect
delegates to this district convention.

TO OFFER TWO PRIZES.
Library Boards Plan to Stimu'
late Interest.
OPEN TO PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN
One Prize of SIS May be Awarded for the
Best Critical Review of a Book aid a
Like Sum Given for Best Article
on Local History

To stimulate interest in the library
the Library board has under considera-
ton plan to offer two prizes open to
the children of the public schools,
Though no action has yet been taken, it
is quite likely that the board will come
to some decision before the vacation
period. The plan contemplates a prize
for the best essay of critical character
on some book which the library con-
tains The book must be procured from
the shelves of the institution, and the
review must be the unaided work of the
contestant. The library board, of course,
will have to leave to the honor of the
contestants not to seek aid from
their friends in the production of their
essays. No violation however is expect
ed from this source. The winner of this
prize will receive from the board, if the
contest is allowed, SIS in cash.
The second prize for the same amount
of money will be given to the writer OF
| an article, who gives the best account OF
some local history. Those who try foI
the prize can take mp any subject they
have mind TO, only it must be of local
value. Thus it is proper to take up the
history of some local celebrity, or the
development of the shipping, or the der.
ivation of the word which gives this
city its name, or any local topic that
one chooses.
A decision, pro or con, will be reached
by the Library board as to the contest at
an early day and it will be announced
through the city papers. Should
the board decide that it take place The
Pilot will take great pleasure in printing
the articles which have had the distinc-
ton of being chosen as the best.

Morality in the Schools,

Evening Wisconsin: Charles Quarles,
former president of the School board and
at present director from the Seventh
ward in regard to the idea promulgated
by Miss Margaret Evans, prominent
clubwoman and educator, that morality
ought to be regularly taught in the pub
lie schools by direct instruction, says:
Morality is taught in the public schools
now Wherever it is not, the teachers
and the teachings are failures. Moral
instruction cannot be divorced from in
tellectual instruction. 1t reminds me of
a story of a great claim which was once
made by a man against whom was con-
Quoting case He boasted that he was
honest. / told the jury that where
came from we regarded all men us hon
est, and if we found any one otherwise
we were surprised. 1t was no credit for
man to be honest, as that was his nor
NAL condition, but it is discredit to be
| dishonest. So it is normal teaching to
instruct children in morality and would
be abnormal to fail to do SO. But to set
apart a period each day in which the
principles of right living are taught
lessons and minimizes the character OF
that instruction. 1t puts it on a level
with arithmetic and spelling wherea,
| in reality moral instruction includes and
embraces all other instruction. If the
and morality fifteen minutes, they would
be justified in telling each other after
class, i am good in spelling, but I'm q
bad boy morally" and receive no more
discredit than the little girl who could
boast, I am good in morals, ,but poor in
spelling

WANT A BETTER HARBOR.
Milwaukee is Frightened That Manitowoc
Will Control Shipping.

At meeting held in the Mayors Office
in Milwaukee on Thursday night an or
ganization was perfected to assist Sena-
tor Quarles in his efforts in the Senate
to secure for Milwaukee an outer har-
bor Before adjournment motion was
made and carried that Mayor Rose APP
point a committee Of twenty to thorough
ly investigate the plans, to consult with
engineers as to the most feasible pro-
ject and report back their conclusions.
Attorney E. P Villas said it was very
essential that Milwaukee improve its
harbor facilities in order to hold its own
with smaller cities, whose enterprise
gave them better harbor facilities. Mani
towoc was referred to as an example of
what good shipping facilities would do.
John johnson said that the develop
ment of the West has shown what enter
prise means in the building up of cities.
Whatever Milwaukee has, he said, is due
largely to those citizens who secured
transportation and shipping facilities,
and these must continue to keep pace
with the needs of the city.
Mr.. Villas said that the dredging Of
the Milwaukee river to permit of the ac-
commodation of modern deep draught
vessels was an expensive undertaking, in
view of the fact that there is every rea-
son to believe dockage could be secured
by the outer harbor plan. He referred
tothe possibility of trouble being en-
countered owing to the shallowness of
the lake there and the sandy bottom,
but left this to the engineers
