politics are queer and the primary cleo

to purify them.
Milwaukee Sentinel A man in Mime
apolis fell dead the other day while in
the act OF drawing his salary. And yet
people will persist in this dangerous
habit.
Waukesha Freemen:- threat of
The Appleton ?, st to bolt if Governor La
Toilette is renominated, simply serves to
show what delightful degree of harmony
pervades the ranks of the Republican
party. There are, evidently, good many
Republicans getting into spirit CT don't
care acuSsetiveness.
The Waukesha Freeman:-Th wave
OF harmony talk in this state has van
ished and the distinctive La Toilette
organs have taken to complaining CT
Senator Spooner, and some OF them
attacked him. They have thus unwIt-
tingly exposed their real feelings and
purposes. To down SpOOner and to drive
from place every Republican who Is not
willing to become a yaSSal is dangerous
business and will not succeed.
ManitOWoc Times-Press:- Governor La
Toilette was elected governor by all the
| Republicans of Wisconsin. He was sup
ported by the so-called stalwarts as faith
fully as by the leaders Of the faction to
which he had belonged. Therefore all
leaders were entitled to his consideration
and to be heard at councils when great
party plans were to be discussed and
formulated. A party cannot be united
and held together by chosen leader
! having an open ear and Already favorable
action for one, deaf ear and kick for
the other. Further, it is a leaders duty
to hold his party together and not to
divide it. 'It
! Kenosha Evening News:-"A year of
La Toilette has taught many who really
have been deceived by him, and many
who only mismeasured his real personal
and political strength that what appeared
to be of serious moment at time when
the most perfect harmony was necessary,
was, after all, only an ephemeral flare.
Having learned they are all coming, and
are glad to come, to the standard, with
the result that the forces upon which
Mr.. La Toilette built his schism, so called,
are disintegrating and melting away
with such celebrity that another election
will find the governor man without a
party, leader without host. The dis
affection of one man, who must be both
leader and following cannot constitute a
revolt, even though he retains few on
his staff
Mondays Evening Wisconsin gives the
following summary OF crop prospects
throughout the state: Crop reports from
! southern Wisconsin are not very en-
cOuraging. Senator W. FL. BisselI, of Lodi
who is at the Pfister, says ''the worst af-
flicted parts of Wisconsin, in my 0bSer-
walton, are Jefferson, Rock, Dane, Column
bia, east half Of Sank and part Of Mar
quette counties. The dr0uth has materi-
ally affected all crops. In Rock, Dane
and Columbia, three counties where to-
bacco is a principal crop, there
is no show. Oats will be one halt
to three quarters of a crop. Unless
rain comes, and comes Immediately
the corn crup will be an entire
failure. 1t is beginning to turn white
Immediate rains are needed"
From northern Wise )nsin comes diff
: ferent story; one replete in bright pros
poets. In this section sufficient rains
have fallen to insure no harmful results
and crop prospects are exceedingly bright
Edward L. Ruse, of Marshfeid, at the
Kirby, said that the crops this year bid
fair to exceed the yield generally, and
that in his particular section, they were
always good. Hay and grains of all
kinds were excellent. The same evi-
| dence was given by John Manson, of
Wausau, who said that hay was light on
old meadows, but excellent in quality CD
new seedlings. Marshal Cousins, of Eau
Claire, reports favorable conditions in his
section, and the same is true generally
of Northern Wisconsin.
