which would have been greatly to their

it shows their Importance to keep others

whole row Of people to have to rise to
let late conner pass. Ladies are troub-

A TRrFrE PREMATURE.

Our Madison correspondent wabbles
taro1gh too much space in today's issue
in his speculations on state politics. We
have rot the time at our disposal at this
late hour TO review the statements con-
tsined theie Elm, some good and others
without warrant, Il is entirely too early
to discuss state politics Of next year.
There are just two propositions the
CENSOR will call attention to, however.
The true republicanism of Wisconsin
will see that Governor Ia Toilette is re-
nominated and electe, If he desires the
customary second term accorded all
honest and efficient officers. His admin
istration to date has full sanction of
every man, regardless of political affilia-
ton, who believes IL official and person
al integrity.
The CENSOR believes that Senator
Spooner Is having injustice done him In
the continuous use of his name by en-
thusiastic political friends. In July last
he wrote and caused to be published
letter and statement that admitted OF
no misinterpretation, stating that under
no consideration would he permit his
name to be used in connection with
reelection to the United States senate.
He gave as reason serious family af-
fiictiona. At that time the CENSOR be-
lieved Senator Spooner spoke from the
heart and uttered the truth in his de-
termination to retire from official life.
We have no right to doubt his declara-
ton at this time. Until he shall other
wise publicly announce no man or set of
men can consistently proclaim his can
didacy without violating personal and
political ethics. Senator Spooner has a
perfect right to change his mind, and
should he so announce, 1t will then be
entirely proper to consider and discuss
The senatorial succession connecting his
name with the same.

The Ohio Republican platform drawn
up under the leadership of Mark Hanna,
contains the following
We recognize the right OF beth lsoor and
capital TO combine when such combinations
are wisely administered for the general good.
but combinations which create mohopoies
to control prices or limit production are an
evil which must be met by effective legisia-
tlon vigorously enforced.
This declaration puts Mark Hanna at
the bat. Ii is his turn TO strike. 1t Is
all nonsense TO talk about effective leg
islation" without putting it into law and
no man in this country has a better
chance to make three base Int than
Mark Hanna. Will the umpire call him
ont on strikes, or is Re going to do cJme-
thing2--W onewoc Reporter
But the Reporter must not expect too
much. 1t has become quite prevalent
for political parties to make good pro-
fessions and deliberately violate them
after election. In Wisconsin 1t has been
declared that be who makes effort to re-
deem his before-election pledges is but a
half-breed.' None bear the stamp OF
real genuineness except platform repud
iators.

HOPE FOR ALL CUT THRoATs.

The CENSOR would ever be merciful,
but in the matter Of parole Of the mnrd-
erers below alluded to, we cherish about
the same feeling as the Madison Demo-
GRAFT when it says: IL there is cut
throat left in the Minnesota prison he
need not despair. When a board of
pardons can hberate such notorious
murderers as the Younger brothers the
most depraved villain behind bars may
we'll cherish the hope Of certain liberia
ton in the course of time. These desper-
ADDE'S have to their discresit career OF
murder, crime and outlawry extending
back for fifteen years or more beyond
the date of their fatal raid on a Mime
sota bank, and through it all runs a
series of bandit deeds Of blood unequaled
In American annals.
1t may be that they will err no more
that they are too old now to return
to the ways which for a generation
made them the terror of all the great
southwest; but the fact that they now
go free shames justice, is cruel out
rage on the many homes into which
they brought the living sorrow of death
and sets high premium ON the sum
mary recourse to lynch law. If eternal
Imprisonment shall not be the assured
portion os creatures like these, caught
red-handed, with lives stepped in the
bloodiest of crimes, then may not honest
men be justified in resort to methods
which shall render other travesties OF
this character ;mpossibleg

Picnic season
Now Is here;
Most eventful
OF the year.
Rural pleasures,
Farming sights,
Now appeal to
Cityites.
There is hustling
Day before,
Making pies and
Cakes galore;
Packing baskets
To the hrim,
Getting all things
Put in trim.
In the morning
sun comes out,
Putting fears of
Rain to rout.
There is rushing
To and fro
Then off to the
Woods all go.
Girls go strolling,
Get a fright
Brindle COW puts
All to flight.
Later on all
Scream and quake
Just a little
Garter snake.
Gallant chappies
Push the swing
To which buxom
Maidens cling;
Work ahead till
Out of breath
And they're nearly
Tired to death.
Time for dinner
Finds it spread
With q bright sky
Overhead.
Soon a rain comes
Pouring down
All are soaked from
Feet to crown.
Clothes are ruined,
Grub the same,
All declare that
It's a shame.
Ask them later
And they'll say
That they had a
Splendid day.
