The Milwaukee journal Is opposed
to some Of the policies of Gov. La
Toilette, and, as it has n right to,
says 80 in good strong words. This
provoses some Of the cuckoo support
ers OF the state administration, who,
instead Of attempting TO meet the ar
guments Of The Journal, question its
motives and make base charges as to
its ownership and control. Recently
The Plymouth Review said:
"The Milwaukee Journal, owned
and controlled by what it Is pleased
TO call the stalwarts, IL trying hard
to injure Gov. La Toilette"
This called out vigorous denial
from The Journal, and II challenge to
Tho Review to produce one iota of
proof to sustain It's charges, The
journal freely Offering to produce
any record or any fact which will aid
in reaching the whole truth IN to It's
ownership and control. 1t Is now up
to the Review and all others who
have made similar charges TO prove
them or to publicly acknowledge that
they are without foundation, The
Journals side of the story il this,
"That nobody except those whose
names appear daily at the head of
our editorial page, Is now, or ever
has had any interest or control over
The journal. All of the gentlemen
whose names have been reported by
this or that paper as connected with
The journal during the eighteen
years of It's existence, are men who
have had our respect, and with whom
we should be proud to be connected
In any business undertaking. We
have never shared in the Wow of the
Populist and other blackguards that
that there was anything detrimental
to IL paper In having connected with IL
men like Villas, Johnston, Mitchell,
Knight, Wall, Phster, or any other
whose crime, in guttersnipc eyes, is
that he may have u dollar in his
pocket and dous II fresh shirt with
some frequency.
The journal Is II great newspaper.
During the eighteen years of it's cXis-
istcnce it has been very potential In
Wisconsin politics, and has greatly
promoted the general welfare. We
believe that what it has been in it's
youth Is but an earnest Of what IL to
come, and that The journal will con
tlnue to be q great power for the good
OF the state,

The commissioner Of navigation, in

An ordinary business man calculates
the advantages OF a contract according
to the terms of the contract itself. Eng
land, France and Germany require of
ship companies drawing governmental
subsidy contracts setting forth in detail
the services which the ships are TO per-
form under the contract. The pending
subsidy bill in congress provides for a
contract. The only thing in the con-
tract that the ship companies agree to
do is to build ships equal to the ton
mage drawing subsidy in American
yards. An examination will show that
these ships can be paid for exclusively
out of the subsidy. The contract does
not provide that these ships shall ever
be run unless additional subsidy Is de-
sired upon the ships. They can be sold
at once to either Americans or foreign
crs. They do not contract for any
amount of speed or any number of
duction of freight rates; they do not
contract for any services as auxiliary
cruisers; the only thing that they con-
tract to do is to use n part of the sub
sidy money in building ships for them
selves. Let any business man place
himself in the position of the govern
ment concerning this matter, and what
would he think of the value of his con-
tractp

Cleveland Motfett's account of the

by the second of his st. Mich olas

of his wife has saved him from n fatal
fall. 1t makes one shuddcr merely to
read Of adventures which are every

The Death of the President Caus-
cd by Gangrene in Wounds.

Buffalo, Sept. 14-Ths follow
ing report of the autopsy upon
tho remains of President McKin-
Icy, signed by all the physicians
in attendance, was issued at 5
O'Clock
The bullet which struck over
the breast bono did not pass
through the skin, and did little
harm. The other bullet passed
through both walls of the stem
ach, near its lower border. Beth
holes were found to be perfectly
closed by the stitches, but the It's
sues around each hole had become
gangrenous. After passing through
the stomach, the bullet passed
through into the back walls of the
abdomen, hitting and tearing the
upper end of the kidney. This
portion of the bullet track was also
gangrsnous, the gangrens involv-
ing the pascross. The bullet has
not yet been found. There was
no sign of psritonitis or disease of
other organs. The heart walls
were very thin. There was no sv-
idence of any attempt at repair on
the part of nature, and death re.
suited frsm the gangrsns, which
affected the stomach around the
bullet wounds ~ well IS tho It's
sues around the further course of
the bullet. Death was unavoida-
BILE by any surgical or medical
treatment, and was the direct re-
suit of the bullet wound.
