How completely readers of the Mil
waukee Sentinel have been and are daily
deceived by that paper in reference to
legislative doings is illustrated by the
''box" in which the Sentinel and it's ed
itors and reporters have been placed by
a number of Minneapolis and st. Paul
gentlemen, who openly charge the pa
per with being guilty of the most out
rageous garbling of interviews. A few
days since, the Sentinel dispatched a
reporter TO the twin cities to gain inform
alton with reference to the working OF
the primary election law now in force
in that state. Ihs. they s,ight not be
misquoted the gentlemen reduced their
interviews to writing. Under scare
headlines, and for the purpose Of in
fluencing the members of our own legis-
lature, the Sentinel made them say the
very opposite of what they really did
say This is the kind of disreputable
and dishonest stuff the Sentinel is daily
sending out to it's readers. Instead OF
being a failure in Minnesota the primary
election law has been great success in
that state

1t should not be forgotten that the
same element in the republican party
now bolting party pledges is the identi-
cal crowd that defeated the party pledge
in former Legislature requiring ex-state
treasurers to refund to the people the
moneys they kept as interest on state
funds 1t is the same elem ent that de
feated anti-pass pledges of a state con-
soation. Do the honest voters in the
republican party desire to be hoodwink-
ed ard spit upon by such an element?

After an all wintsr's deadlock, and on
tie closing day Of the session, republican
members of the Nebraska Legislature
came to an agreement and elected two
United States senators. Gov. DIETRICH
and Joseph II. Willard are the lucky in
dividuals. 1t is a partial victory for the
people over the corporations. The fight
appears to have been prolonged because
there were not sufficient senators to give
each of the leading railroads of the state
a special representative.

THE WISCONSIN PRIMARY BILL.

The Chicago Times Herald, the lead
ing and most ably edited and conducted
republican paper in the greatnorthwest,
says editorially, of the bill now pending
in our legislature;
The primary election bill won by a
narrow margin in the Wisconsin assem-
bly,, but it is sign of intense popular
interest that it won at all. No political
event since the national elections has
had such great significance, and whether
the senate follows the example of the
assembly or not the vote should be hail
ed throughout the length and breadth of
this land as the first promise of reform
whose Importance cannot be overesti-
mated,
The yilest and the most dangerous
monopoly with which this country hae
to contend today is the nominating mo-
nopoly of the partisan machines. It has
given us the most corrupt municipal
governments in the world. and it's faint
is upon our politics whichever way we
turn, affecting as it does the largest of
federal affairs and the smallest concerns
of ward or village. There is not drop
in the current which supplies life to that
great organism called government which
is not vitiated by its influence, and it is
proof of imbeeility to think that we can
ever have pure gov rnment while we
submit to the inherited curse of the
caucus and the convention.
The Wisconsin reformers he
the name Of La Toilette, who leads chem
have discovered this truth, anG they
are the monopoly with a devi9e that
will smash it into smithereeZs II it Is
ever put in operation Nothing more
radical could be proposed Within the
limits prescribed by the party system,
which may be summarized as follows:
Nomination of all candidates shall be
made directly by the people at a primary
election.
Primary elections of all parties shall
be held on the same day.
Members of ward and town commit
tees shall be chosen in the same way
and ON the same day as candidates for
public office.
County committees shall consist Of
t..a chairman of town and ward com
mittees, and state committees shall CON
sist of the chairmen of county commit
tees.
1t will be observed that these provis-
ions make nothing of the proprietary
rights Of a lot of loafers and looters who
kindly affect to relieve the people of all
responsibility in politics and who claim
a mortgage on all offices and public con-
tracts, Should the measure become a
law both the big boss who rules state
and the picayune spoiler who rants
about delivering my delegation" would
find their employment gone The pro-
fession of mercenary traffic in politics
would receive the severest blow it has
ever had, certainly sine. the first merit
laws were enacted, and the merit laws
themselves would be refreshed with a
new life.

TRIK RIGHTS.

The question of government by injunc-
ion and of a clear definition of the legal
rights of all classes of citizens is one of
in reaching right conclusions regarding il.
1t is not always easy for laymen to appre-
ciate legal distinctions, but, once under
stood, they should be frankly accepted and
carefully observed. The law is for the pro-
lection of all classes. and it is equally the
interest and the duty of all to know and
TO obey 1t.
When Judge Bakers order i'm the case of
the w. b. Conkey Company, of Hammond,
was first issued the Journal was inclined to
think that it went further than any pre-
vious order in that it prohibited the strikers
from attempting to compel or induce, by
threats, intimidation. persuasion. force or
violence. any Of the employees of the said
w. B. Conkey Company to refuse or fail to
do their work. or discharge their duties as
such employees of said w. b. Conkey Com
pany." The Journal was under the i'm
preston that this was the first time that
strikers had been prohibited from using
persuasion to carry any of their points.
and that the Introduction of this word
would give strikers and agitators a new
pretext for ~denouncing the courts. Suisse
quent investigation has convinced the Jour
nal that it was mistaken. The prohibition
of persuasion by strikers to accomplish GER
tain ends is not new. 1t was used in the
Debs case and has been in others. In the
Debs case the order of the court. issued
July .. 1894, enjoined the defendants from
inducing by persuasion, threats. violence
or any other means the employees of the
companies to leave the service of the COM
panies. or to induce them TO refuse to per-
form their duties" This order put persua-
sion i'm the same category with intimida-
ton and violence as a means of inducing
employees 10 leave the service OF the rail-
road companies or not to perform their
duties. Judge Woods used the same phrase
ology in his order of July 3 prohibiting in
