Republican Popuiism.

In all assaults upon the primary
election bill, and other methods to
discredit and embarrass the present
administration, there IL II feature
promiaent, to wit: That measures
and policies of the party in Wiscon-
ain have populistic tendency. The
disasters that have fallen upon the
Democratic party within the past
few years are attributed to the allie
glance Of that putrid party with the
populists, and tn. republicans are
warned that their party Is in danger
OF anlictiou by the same virus. 1t
is but an appeal to prejudice, em-
ployed Tor want Of better argument to
defeat reforms that would curtail
the opportunities of seli-seekers.
What are the measures recommend
cd by GOV. LaFollette Incompatible
with sound republican principles
and inimical to good government?
Let IL glance at his message for an
answer.
He calls attention TO the notorious
fact that under present laws "A large
portion of the property and wealth
Of the state escapes the payment OF
its just share of taxes, and urges that
legislation should correct this defect.
He POI ., out that expenses of our
state government have increased 80
per cent within ten years, Indicating
eX,ravaga nee, and urges that more
economy be practiced. He notes
that district schools are losing in
usefulness and suggest that lit is
time to pause in praise of our col
leges and city schools long enough
to emphasize the necessity of more
generous support for the country
Schools He regrets the growing
OWLS of trusts and monopolies, and
recommends legislation TO restrain
the same that shall be just to all in
terests. He advises further cousid-
GRAFTON OF how .ho evil practice Of
lobbying may ho tesseurd or stopped.
He believes that compeusating pub
lie officials by fees is bad practice,
and that tiNod salaries, proportioned
10 services rendered, Is the proper
method. lie notes the large and
growing expenses for state printing,
and hopes a way oi l|esseuing this
expense may be found, He approves
the auti-utlicial pass law aud favors
the adoption ol the constitutional
amendment for ever prohibiting
such passes. He strongly recon-
muuds the uuactmeut Of u primary

advocated for years, and which the

positively demands, for n correction
of che acknowledged evils of the

FIRE IN A MINE.
Heavy Loss mt LatrObe, Ia. - Fear
That Several Miners Have
Lost Their Lives.

Latrobe, Pa, April 29.-The entire
tipple, engine house and boiler house
of the Dorothy coal and coke plant Of
the American Steel and Wire com
pany is smoldering mass of ruins,
and it is rumored that either four or
six miners have lost their lives, but at
this time the rumor cannot be verified.
The loss is estimated at $l50,000, fully
insured. Two persons are known to
be injured. They are: Superintend-
ent Rodgers, suffocated while endeav-
oring to rescue entombed miners; Will
liam Gill, suffocated while assisting
Superintendent Rodgers in the work
of rescue. Five miners were known
to have been in the mine at the time,
but they knew nothing of the fire until
~ men descended the air shaft, which
is $50 feet deep, and told them of the
fact. They were rescued, but there
are rumors that six more were in the
mine at the time. Thirty-nine mules
were at the bottom of the shaft, and
these have undoubtedly persisted in
the flames. ~

freed men when the thunder of his uncom-
promising Righteousness fills our ears.
Justice must be done to the negro who

chise must be protected, or We must at last
sink into abysses of hypocrisy with Grants
monument casting a shadow over us.
Our American life needs now as never
before to emulate the man who was as
gentle as he was strong. who never knew
how to boast and who believed In the sim
piicity OF righteousness. II was Grant who
prevented the republic from breaking It's
moral contract made by the greenback.
and II Will be the American spirit such
as we then saw incarnated In Grant at a
moment wnen dividends were counted
