Norw, AWNING the feel;no +

NOTWITHSTANDING the feeling in Grand Army circles against the pres. ent commissioner of pensions, direct ly, and indirectly against President Mckinley for keeping him in office, some toadying officials of the organ izarion have resolved on the Presi- dents appearance at the coming national encampment at Cleveland, O., and are getting up an elaborate and ornamental card of invitation to personally carry to him in Canton. He is told that 1t Is essential he put in an appearance at the big gathering. He has promised to do so and 1t Is thought that this condescension will be enough to cover the multitude of sins (of omission) charged to the in difference of Evans, and thus keep the great bulk of tie c A.

MAYOR JOHNSON of Cleveland has met the enemy in the first legal bat tie, and they are his. The injunc- tion brought by the Big Consoli- da'ed" street car company against the increased valuation of it's proper fty for the purpose of taxation, has been set aside by Judge Strimple, on the ground of not sufficient facts be- ing found to entitle i. to stand. I'm 1nediateIy the city board of equal ization added nearly $8,000,00O to the taxable valuation of the property, thus lessening the burdens of the taxpayers who had no 'pull" with the assessors. This first battle being so easily won will doubtless deter the other tax dodgers on the list from trying conclusions with the in domitable Tom L., and therefore the rest will be "plain sailing" So much for the people at last using their brains and ballots in conjunc- tion in the election of real ''man of the people" Let us hope to see much more of it.

Women Wage Banners Protected.


 Probably nothing more forcibly en- courages the interest that women should have in the labor unions than the fact of their protection as to wages. for it is one of the rules of the unions that the women belonging to them and doing the same work that does her male coworker shall receive the same wages. Here in the Atlanta Typograph- ical union there are 14 or 15 young women who receive the same wages as do the men who are similarly em- pioyed. They are enthusiastic mem bers of the union and probably feel that the men of the organization are under just little obligation to them. for it was a woman member who first brought before the International Typo graphical union the suggestion. which afterward became the enforced law, that members of this union should work only six days out of the week. The members on newspapers here work eight hours a day, and those do Mg job work extend their time to hiRe kauss . day.-AtAante CSxst4sutieH.

AN,HUMBLE SUGGESTION.

When the very distinguished, ven erable and eloquent archbishop Of St. Paul, at the Catholic temperance convention rally in Connecticut' S capital city, Wednesday evening, most feelingiy referred to the, pain experienced on so often seeing some grand old historical name in the an- nals of Irish history now decorating the top end of saloon door. we wonder if 1t ever occurred to him to seriously contemplate the why and wherefore of the spectacle? And if so whether he found that prevailing industrial conditions had anything to do with 1t ?, Whether he had ever heard of man seeking employment here, there and elsewhere, only to re- turn from a protracted search dlsap- pointed and heart-sore, every pros- pect of securing an honest living, now shut out; naught but that of the saloon industry left7 If Ae hasn't, there are hundreds we know of who have.
 And thus we would humbly beg the privilege of suggesting to this most.reverend and most ardent ad- yocate of sobriety among his people, with all that blessed word implies

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1901.

NOTWITHSTANDING that the great mills of Fall River are preparing for reduction of wages, there is no an ticipation of a reduction of the prosperity shout on the part of the monopoly organs and, politicians. This will be kept up all the same if half the, population are on star walton basis.

were more in demand than today. There are giant combinations to be battled with and the average man Is too easily awed by millions or too easily corrupted by them, to be trusted.
 Some of this editorial philosophy Is correct and some Is not It IS true that "the field at Runnymede was dotted with the faces of the plain people. ;" So has been and yet is every such field The "plain peo- pie" have always known how to die for others but not to live for them selves. And they have learnt noth- ing different yet.
 But 1t is not correct to say that "the masses followed the Pingree banner, not because he was great statesman, but because he was brave enough to imperil his private inter- ests by opposing the enemies of the people who sought to absorb their wealth and usurp their government !" The masses followed the Pingree banner because the man with the banner had the tact to remain a mem Der of the political party with which much of the masses already affiliated. And they followed his banner be- paid the cost of his own battles in their behalf, calling not on them for a penny. Had he been poor man like unto one of themselves, but just as brave, sagacious and devoted as he was-aye ten times more, if possible-he would have carried his banner alone-were he able to carry 1t at all-and to defeat in every conflict.
 If parts allure thee we might also speak of one as bright, brave and devoted to the cause of humanity as ever was the ex-governor of Michi- gan. But the world outside of his own town knew him not. For he was but an humble carpenter toiling fo r his daily wage-when he could find 1t. His whole being was wrapped up in the cause of these same masses working in season and out of season for. their advancement, by vote, precept and example. Yet when receiving an unsought nomi- nation at the hands of a few others like unto himself for an office to which the real friend of the workers must attain to be in position to do anything for them, the masses didn't rally to his standard as They did to that of Pingrse's -oh nos but they did rally to the standard of the enemies of the people" @
 And we'll do we remember the:oc- casion of this poor-man reformer's passing off from the scenes of his earthly labors. His remains did not lay in state in city hall amid official pomp and ceremony. No, butS they quietly laid in the front roonnsof an undertaker's establishment, fe.sssur- rounded by few relatives, one or two personal friends, and the dele gation of pail bearers perfunctoTily sent by the labor organization to which for many years he had s'paid his dues And as his corpse was botne out of the room on the way to its final resting place, the trolley carswere hurriedly running by to the. base ball grounds, filled to10ver- flowing with the. masses" hilarious ly shouting, and the band playing "There'll be hot time in the old town tonight.
 Is it a wonder that some discern ing genius should have once written the masses" as them asses ?"

CHARLOTTE LYNN.

From the Boston Post it is learned
that Charlotte Lynn, q vocalist well
known and admired in WauSau, is gain
ing much renOwn in her work. The
Post contains a large and splendid pict-
ure of Miss Lynn, and underneath
makes the following comments: Miss
Lynn is almost too wei known in BoS-
ton to render comment necessary,
although a WeSterner by birth, she has
resided here for the past five years, and
is liked both for her delightful person.
atty and musical ability Miss Lynn
possesses a glorious voice of dramatic
tjmbre, which bids fair in time to make
her famous Miss Lynn has just re-
turned from a tour through the West,
where she was widely entertained aud
feted, in the course of which she sang
with great success on several notable
occasions The Post also says. Miss
Lynn has been encouraged BY her
critics and the great opera singers to
study for opera and intends going
abroad in October for that purpose.
Her ambition and perseverance are
certain to reap her wonderful success. .

AGAIN IN THE TOLLS.

1t is but a short time since Walter
Kenny was released from the state
prison at Waupun, after serving a SEN
tence of one year for stealing Prof.
loves bicycle nearly two years ago.
During his short stay in this city he pro-
fessed desire to live down the past,
and henceforward to travel the straight
and narrow path of rectitude, always
bearing in mind the admonition that
"the way of the transgressor is hard"
Since leaving the city, however, he
appears to have undergone change Of
heart, for the report now comes that
Walter is again in trouble. A few days
ago while in West Superior, on his way
to the coast, he entered a pool room,
and taking hold of cash register, was
unable to eXtricate it from his clutches,
and was therefore forced to carry it
away with him. Police officers assisted
him before he had gone far, and the
register was removed from his grasp
before its contents had disappeared,
and he is now held awaiting an explain
alton from him as to his conduct. He
will no doubt have another opportunity
to inspect the masonry of the states
institution at Waupun, providing the
West Superior authorities do not dele
gate editor johnson, of this city, to act
as his guardian enroute. Bob is too
darned tender hearted.

FARMERS, PRACTICE ECONOMY

From all accounts, the hay and many
other crops in Southern Wisconsin
have been failures, hence, all will have
to get their supply from Northern Wis
consin. This seems very queer when
those from that section have heretofore
been sending their hay up this way.
But the hay crop especially, through
out Northern Wisconsin, this year, is
very large and there will be no trouble
in supplying goodly amount of that
which is wanted below. Our farmers
will do well to heed the advice of Prof.
w. A. Henry, of which the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin speaks as follows;
Prof. w. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station, is
right in urging Wisconsin farmers to
practice this season the closest economy
of green stuffs which can be used as
fodder. The drought that has burned
up everything in the Southwest will
make good demand at high prices,
and when the prices are high is the
ldI u6lS opportunity W nltthC dS WGl ttS
save money. Prof. Henry says; There
will be calls by shippers for every
pound of tame hay, wild hay ard straw
that can be spared. Many farmers by
saving their corn fodder and by cutting
wild and marsh hay can have large
quantities of tame hay and straw to
sell. Not pound of any kind of feed
should be wasted. Even the lower
grades of wild hay and marsh hay
should be carefully harvested and saved
for feeding at home this winter so as TO
sell as much as possible of the better
grades Nature is usually so bounte-
Gus to the American agriculturalistt that
a great deal is wasted in this country
that would be scrupulously garnered
abroad. If this years unusual condi-
tons should result in fixing the habit
of saving upon the American farmers,
the drought, bad as it may turn out,
would in the long run prove blessing
in disguise.

HEALTHFUL WORK.

The following was clipped from a
northern Wisconsin, exchange. The eX-
change editor failed to mark the credit.
1t is good article anyway and we
herewith reproduce it: For many years
it has been a well known fSct in north
ern Wisconsin that lumbermen who
spend the winter in the woods are the
healthiest mortalS under the sun.
We have seen the pale faced lad of the
early winter come out of the woods
in the spring carrying with him every
appearance of perfect health. 1t was not
until recently that scientists looked for
a solution of this problem and they have
decided that the balm of the balsam in
the forest air is one of the most invigor-
ating tonics that can penetrate the sys-
TEN of the human being. These investi-
gators have shown that there is nothing
that is equal to the essential oil of pine
needles in the treatment of insomnia,
and invalids who cannot sleep on the
most downy of pillows will sleep like
the proverbial top when the pillow case
is stuffed with bristly, prickly pine
needles, the insomnia curing principles
seeming to dwell in the odor of the pine
needles. 1t is very probable that in the
near future this discovery will prove
boon to mankind.' The pine will be
used to promote health and prolong
life and what is more, we have enough
in northern Wisconsin to supply the
world

JESSE MARTIN DEAD.
Commentaries

Last Tuesday, July the 23d, an old
settler passed from this life, at Stevens
POint-Jesse Martin. He was Sc years
of age, and in an early day was a man
of prominence in the Wisconsin River
Valley. About sixty years ago he came
up into the pinery and after remaining a
year, near where the city of Stevens
Point now stands, he came north to
Scholfield and he and his brother built
saw mill at that place which was
afterwards sold to Captain S. Lumbard
and later to Dr. VIM. Scholfield. The
property is now owned by the Brooks
and Ross Lumber Company. Mr.. Mar
tin helped to build the first road
from Stevens Point up to Wausau and
he was considered in an early day to
be one of the best pilots on the river.

THE LEAHY CREDITORS SUIT.

In last weeks issue of the PILOT we
published Il statement of the result of a
suit brought by certain creditors of j.
B.. Leahy against MIR. Leahy, James
McCrossen and Charles r. Corwith
The defendants attorneys were absent
from the city at the time it was pub
lished, hence the statement was not a
complete one. Upon inquiry we ascer-
tain from them the following additional
facts:
In November, 1890, Mr. Leahy was
one of the unfortunates who was swept
under by the Hoxie & Mellor failure
His principal creditors were James
McCrossen and the Corwith estate of
Chicago. When he became involved
in the Hoxie & Mellor failure he paid
one of his creditors in Wausau, F. W.
Kickbusch, about 50, 900 in lumber. He
also paid 81, 900 to the Corwith estate.
by turning over, to the executors, stock
| IN the Wausau Boom Co. of that value
He also gave James McCrossen a first
mortgage, and to the Corwith estate a
second mortgage, upon most of bis
remaining property. The Corwith
estate already held an unrecorded
mortgage upon Leahy's half of the saw
mill property, which mortgage was
given in 1886 to Henry Corwith, de-
ceased. The suit referred to in last
weeks article, and which has been
going on for several years, and has re-
Gently been discontinued, involved the
validity of the transfer of the boom
| stock to the Corwith estate and of the
mortgages given to McCrossen and to
the COrwith estate upon Leahy's prop
erty. The transfers and mortgages
were attacked upon the claim that they
were given to hinder delay and de-
fraud Leahy's other creditors. Upon
all these contentious the plaintiffs were
defeated, both in the circuit and
supreme courts, both courts holding
that there was no fraud in the trans
fers and securities given to McCrossen
and the .COrwith estate, and that they
were made in the payment or securing
of honest debts. The unrecorded mort
gage before mentioned was held void
as against Leahy's other creditors, for
the reason that Henry Corwith agreed
when he took it in 1886 that he would
not record it, and because he kept that
| agreement
The result was a complete victory for
the defendant, James McCrossen. 1t
was a victory also for the Corwith
estate as to everything involved except
the saw mill property affected by the
unrecorded mortgage. The trial in the
circuit court occupied in all nearly two
weeks. The plaintiffs were numerous
and were represented by various attor-
neys, namely, Brown & Pradt, Mylrea,
Marchetti & Bird, and Bump, Kreutzer
q Rosenberg, of Wausau; and Thomp-
son, Harshaw & Thompson, of Oshkosh.
Defendants were represented by Ryan,
Hurley IL Jones.
In justice to Mr.. McCrossen, Mr..
Leahy and the Corwiths it is proper to
say that they were each and all COM
pleted exonerated by both the circuit
and supreme courts from every one of
the charges made in the complaint,
alleging an intention on their part 10
defraud Mr.. Leahy's creditors.
