Former Assistant Postmaster Given
An Indeterminate Sentence at
Green Bay.
RECKLESS CAREER OF JOHN BURG
Young Man Formerly stood High in City
Was First Arrested For Rcbbing
the q. S. Mails.

John A. Burg, son of former Post
master A. J. Burg, and formerly as
sistant Postmaster of Kenosha, re-
ceived this morning an indeterminate
sentence of from one to twenty years
at the state reformatory at Green Bay.
Burg, who was for many years
one of the best known young men of
the city. was arrested four months ago
and charged with breaking into a store
on Main street. At first he made a
partial confession of his guilt, but he
refused to plead guilty to the charge
until yesterday morning, when after a
long conference with his attorneys he
decided to throw himself on the mercy
of the court and accept the penalty of
his crime.
Before the case was called the court
room was crowded with people and
many of the members of the crowd
were former friends of Burg. He was
fault1ess1y dressed when he appeared
in court and when he stood up to re-
ceive his sentence it was evident that
the four months behind the bars had
made a great change in his condition.
Burg accepted the penalty in silence
and was at once remanded to the
county Jail It is probable that he will
be taken to Green Bay tomorrow. ,-.o.
The career of Burg has been a pecu-
liar one. Five years ago he wasocon-
Fsidered one of the best of the younger
business men of the city and when his
father was appointed postmaster by
President Cleveland Burg was at once
named as assistant. He was one of
the best officials ever in the Kenosha
postoflce and when a change of politics
made Republican postmaster Burg
was retained and his salary raised.
A few months later Burg was ar
rested on charge of 1ooting the mails.
The trial was held in Milwaukee and
United States Senator Quar1es ap-
peared and plead for mercy for the de-
PENDANT. He was given a light Jail
sentence and soon after this had been
served he returned to Kenosha. Here
lac mixed with a law1ess gang and soon
aft er his return to the city the COM
unity was shocked to hear that Burg
han been arrested as a common burglar.
is claimed that Burg was connect
ed 18th number of burg1aries in, the
citys but he claims that he never COM
mitted but one crime and that was the
one to which he plead guilty today.

Liberty and License.

The newspapers of the entire coun-
try, aroused by the attempted assas-
sination of the President, are united
in demanding severe laws against the
Anarchists. The man who threatens
his neighbor is put under bonds, but
the Anarchist is permitted to preach
murder and arson to his disciples at
will.
We have been much too tolerant of
this evil in the past, and the Anarch-
ist, banished by the law of his own
land, has come to regard this country
as a safe refuge where he can mature
in peace his plans for the murder of
his former rulers.
They are at war with organized and
established society and it is time that
society took measures to protect itself
against them. The Legislatures of all
the States and Congress itself should
pass such severe laws as will blot an
archy off the face of the earth so far as
this country is concerned.
Acting Attorney General James M.
Beck fears that at present there is no
federal law to fit Czo1gosz's crime.
The case will have to be tried under
the jurisdiction of the Erie County
Court under the same conditions 'as
those of an ordinary citizen.
In the event of the Presidents re-
covery it is believed that Czo1gosz can
be convicted of no higher crime than
an assault with intent to kill.
The federal laws should make any
attempt upon the life of the President
high treason and punishable with
death, and should provide for the i'm
prisonment of all who teach or profess
anarchy. The immigration of An
archists to the country should be
stopped and if possible all those known
to be in sympathy with them sent back
to the country from which they came.

Gentleman Horse Thief Goes to Wau-
pun For Three Years and One
Day For His Crime.
ENDS A MOST ROMANTIC CAREER.
Horse Thief and Gentleman is Alleged to
have Worked in Many Parts of Wis
consin and Illinois.

George r. Downs, of Chicago, the
gentleman horse thief, whose career
| has caused a great deal of comment in
all parts of Wisconsin, was arraigned
| in the Circuit court here this after
| noon and plead guilty to the charge of
stealing a team of horses from H. A.
Kupfer, the we'll known 1iveryman of
this city. Downs made no effort to
seek the mercy of the court and was
sentenced to term of three years and
one day in the State prison at Wau-
pun.
The conviction of Downs marks the
close of a most romantic career.
Downs claims to be of a good family
and was for some time "perfect gen.
t1eman." He was a resident of Chica-
go and under the 'guise of a travelling
man he was well known in South Side
society. 1t is alleged, however, that
during all this time he was the leader
of gang of horse thieves which COM
mitted many crimes in Southern Wis
consin and Northern Illinois. At the
time of his arrest he protested his in
nocense but SO great was the weight of
evidence against him that he decided
to plead guilty to the charge. Downs
is accused of many crimes and if he
would serve time for each of the
crimes most of his life would be spent
behind the bars.
The wife of the horse thief is now
living in one of the smaller cities of
Illinois and it is stated that she has
never been advised of the case that the
State has made against her husband.
Downs had prepared an elaborate
defense of his case, but it is claimed
that one of the members of his crowd
betrayed him to the officers, and this
morning he threw the great batch of
shorthand notes into waste basket
and decided to give up the fight. He
states that he has been in many tight
places, and he hopes that influential
friends in Illinois will be able to Sc
cure a pardon for him in the near
future.
He will be taken to prison within
few days.

WHEN the Senate meets in Decem-
Der a motion for the impeachment OF
Senator Wellington will probably be
made. On the evening when Presi-
dent Mckinley was shot down, and
while it was supposed that his death
was near Wellington said to a news
paper reporter: mckinley and I are
enemies. 1 have nothing good to say
about him, and under the circumsta n
ces do not care to say anything bad. l
am Indifferent to the whole matter"
1t was so incredible that man occu-
pying the high office of United States
Senator could have been guilty of such
a brutal expression that the public
preferred to believe that Senator We'll
1ineton had been misrepresented, but
when shown the interview he refused
to deny it. There is a unanimous feel
ing of disgust over his remarks and
the newspapers of the East and South
are advocating that he DE brought to
trial before the Senate.
The Atlanta Journal prints tele-
grams from twenty-three leading
Southern papers endorsing the propo-
sition to expel Wellington and in its
own editorial says:
"The Senate is sole Judge of the
qualifications of it's members. Moral
disqualification should be as fatal as
statutory provisions to claim or a
title to a seat in the Senate. No gen
t1eman in the Senate can now respect
wellington; no patriot there Or else
where can trust him; no man with a
right mind and an honest heart can
fail to reprobate his meanness.
"The Senate should purge itself OF
Wellington. We hope to see motion
for his expulsion offered on the first
day of the next session, ordinary OF
extraordinary, and we trust that il
will receive the vote of every Senator
who is qualified to pass upon it.
"George L. Wellington is reproacf
to the State of Maryland and a dis
grace to the United States Senate
. Put him out!''

KENosHA COUNTY EXHIBIT.

The exhibit of Kenosha county at
the State Fair which opened yesterday
has aroused great deal of favora BILE
comment. The exhibit, in charge OF
E. W. Ripley of Salem, stands out Wv
idly as an example of what can be
done in the way of agri cu1ture in a
dry season. It is not as large as some
of those from the northern counties,
but, unlike them, is made up of single
entries and contains no duplicates.
One of its novelties is spense1aria, a
new forage plant raised by Mr.. Ripley
from seed obtained from the Minnesota
experiment station. It stands twelve
feet high and resembles d cross be-
tween cottai1 and broomcorn. "This
plant can be cut four times during the
season, and keeps on growing" said
Mr.. Ripley. sit should be cut when it
gets four feet high. 1t makes an ex-
cel1ent FODDER Another novelty in
the exhibit is a specimen OF Japanese
mi11et.

The Freedom of the Press.

INSANITY experts generally agree
with the Chicago Journal that the in
f1uence which led Czolgosz to shoot the
President was largely due to the vic
ious and sensational articles of the
yellow press, John Most, the
leader of the Anarchists, blames the
New York Journal for the crime and
makes the pertinent suggestion that
since the yellow press teach anarchy
they should be held responsible for the
acts of their pupils.
When a man is nominated for office
it is the unquestioned right of the press
to discuss his character and attain
nents exhaustively that the public
NAV form its own opinion of his abil
ity and fitness, but with the yellow
papers liberty of speech has degenerat
ed into license. Since VIM. McKin
lev's first nomination fer Office they
have sought by every means in thu
power of INSCRIPTIONS, libelous an'
utterly unprincip1ed g journalism t.
make him out man unfit for an
trust and unworthy of the confdenc
of the people who honored him.
The man who robs helpless crippl
is jailed, but Hearst and others of hi
kind rob honest men who are as help
less to resist as the veriest cripple, Q
that which is of infinitely more valu
to them than money-their characte
and reputation.
Even worse than this, other gentle
men occupying higher stations in 1if
than Hearst & Co., whose Journals Q
Civilization" claim to address NOR
educated constituency, have so far fol
gotten what is due to their own sci
respect and the dignity of his great Of
fee as to apply to the Chief Magistrat
of this country such epithets as ''ty

rant" "butcher," "emperor" and
"despot." And this simply because
they differ from him in a matter of
public policy!
Is it surprising when such educated
gentlemen so far transgress against
decency and right feeling that this
poor, deluded, unreasoning Czo1gosz
fails to realize the enornlityd of his
offence2
GAS ye sow.sso shall Eye also reap, .
and, in seeking to array classSagainst
class, labor against capital, rich
against poor; in heaping abuse upon
the administrators of the 1awsand con-
tempt upon the law itself; they have
planted in disordered minds the seeds
of bitterness and discomfort, whose
perfect and matured fruits Fare an
archy, arson and deliberate murder.
Is the result of this teaching in
Czo1gosz's case sufficient warning or
shall we wait for a further demonstra-
ton of its effect?
If this assault upon the President
arouses public sentiment so'that this
evil may be done away with, VIM.
Mckinley will again have served his
country we'll, even at the expense of
great physical suffering to himself.
