A Great Hay Crop.

Sheriff L. Fl. Lien is becoming
one of the most enthusiastic men
IN the county as to the probable
of this region for agricultural
purposes. Only yesterday he
cited an instance to show the
productiveness of Bayfield, coun-
tvs land. He said: "Down at
Bibon in the town of Mason,
Archie Barrils has swamp of
twenty-four acres of land on
which he raised three crops of
hay last year, and took off
enough to feed five head of live
stock all winter, and then sold
sixty-fve tons on the market.
This year [ was at Bibbon when
he was cutting his first crop,
and actually it was so thick that
he was able to run only half the
mower blade through it at a
time, as the horses could not
pull the knife through, it was so
thick. Off from that same TWEEN
ty-four acres Mr.. Barrils will
take his sixty-fve tons for mar
ket, besides getting enough for
his live stock, and this in two
crops. Figure it out for your
self and see whether Mr.. Barrils
is making his piece of land pay.
Besides his hay meadows he has
a large piece of land under cult
walton, and will get a good crop
of oats, potatoes ETC." Acting
upon Mr.. Liens suggestion we
took out a pencil and figured up
what sixty-fve tons of hay would
bring on the market this winter,
after ascertaining that the value
would perhaps run SIS to the ton,
and found that Mr.. Barrils
would put about 1915 in his
pocket In 1896 Ex-Governor
w. D. Hoard writing to the town
board ofimmigration said: "You
have, in my opinion, one Of the
most productive soils for grasses
that can be found on the contin-
ent. | have noted this fact for
years." What was so plain to
the skilled and practised eye Of
the Elk Governor is finally dawn
ing upon those who are now pur-
suing agriculture in this region,
and if the distinguished gentle
man had have seen NJ. Barrils
crop this summer he would no
doubt have admitted that it was
even greater than anything he
could have expected, as sanguine
as he was when he wrote in 1895.

"CHARLEY" PFISTER

The principal mission Of the
Milwaukee Free Press appears
to be to villify Mr.. Charles Pfst-
er. Everything that happened
in the state that does not please
the Press is charged up to Mr..
Pfster. The organization OF the
"stalwartS" is all blamed at Mr..
Pfster's door, although Mr.. Pts
ter's connection with organization
has not been pointed. The defeat
of the primary election measure
lastwinterWas due to Mr.. Phster.
The buying of a United States
Senator for $4,000 was a piece
of Mr.. Pfster's work, the control
of all the anti-administratlon
papers in the state is because
they are all obedint to Phster s
dictation. and last, not least, the
refusal Of the republicans OF the
state to allow John G. Spooner
to be shelved is to gratlfy Mr..
Pfster. And it is all because
this gentleman is what is called
an anti-LaFollete man. We do
not hear anything about Mr..
Pfster having raised the greater
portion of the campaign funds
that wereneeded in the campaign
last year, or of his lifelong 10y
atty and devotion to republican
principles and the party's sue
cess. No one has ever accused
Mr.. Pfster of party disloyalty,
and no one can remember time
when he didnot have his shoulder
to the wheel and work for repub-
lican success. Heisa millionaire,
and when he wants anything for
the party, or the party wants his
services, his barrel is open. 1t
is not a matter of official record
that he ever violated the corrupt
practice act or in any other man.
ner did anything to his discredit
or to the discredit of the party Of
which he is a leader. He has
never been a candidate for an
official position, and his interest
in the party has been for the love
of it. Mr.. Pfster is a pleasing
gentleman to meet, staunch
friend and an unrelenting enemy.
Like thousands of others in the
state of Wisconsin he believes
that JohnC. Spooner is the peer
of any man the state has ever
sent to the United States senate,
and he does not propose to sit
idly by and see the exalted posi-
ton go to a fellow-millionaire,
whose only qualification IS the
size of his bankaccount. Pfster
owns controllinginterest in the
Milwaukee Sentinel, and it is no
doubt true that he dictates it's
policy-which is in accordance
with the ideas of a large element
in the party. Either he or
or Stephenson is wrong, both are
dictators so far as their news
papers are concerned. But the
difference is that Pfister has
loosened up for principles sake,
and Mr.. Stephenson for the pur-
pose of gratifying an ambition
that will never be gratiied All
of which would seem to indicate
that "Chollie" Pfster is all right.

he stepped down from the car Then
he followed up the cord, winding as he
went.
He was one Of those strictly honest

the story is that he followed the string

Two Railroad Passes.
When it's limited express trains werl
put on some years ago, the Lake Shore
Railway company decided to charge
extra for the privilege Of riding on
them, and John Newell, who was pres
ident of the system at that time, gave
orders that passes, half rate tickets,
etc., should not be honored on the "fii-
ers." 1t was not intended, of course,
that the complimentaries issued to high
officials of other roads should be void
on the fast trains, but through an over
sight yearly pass was sent to d. w.

that public sentiment favors the

broader andmore general.

women who pay a certain amount
of taxes can vote. Anunmarried

woman cannot vote unless either
she or her husband has a stated

may be very small, but a certain
percentage of each days wages
of every peasant goes into the

advocates of an income tax in the

arguments in this country to sus

whom I have talked has declared
that it is the least Objectionable

THE BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN THE PHIL
RPINES.

No testimony has come from the Philip
pines in regard to the improving conditions
there more encouraging than the cable
gram from Judge Taft, president of the
commission now engaged in establishing
civil government in the islands. Judge
Taft's high character gives weight to
whatever he says. His dispatch was APP
propriatcly sent en- the eve of President
McKinley's second inauguration, and was,
m a sense. congratulatory on the success
Of a policy which has been criticised in a
most unjust and unpatriotic spirit. Judge
Taft's statements are entitled to greater
weight because he was originally an anti
expansionist, though always a believer in
the duty of the United States to meet and
discharge every duty and every RESPONSE
rility forced upon it by events. He went
to the Philippines almost a pessimist, but
his latest dispatch is so encouraging that,
but for his established Judicial reputation.
it might almost be called optimistic. It's

way of substituting the victories and con-
iitions of peace for those of war. the ie

now, to recall that the beginning Of the
success of this policy dctes from the last
presidential election. 1.-THE federal party"
says Judge Taft, IAN avowed and direct
outgrowth of the election, is spreading
with wonderful rapidity in all parts of the

advocacy of peace and in presenting adj

sovereignty The proofs of this are cited
with Geographic brevity. but they leave

caught on to the idea that American
sovereignty means for them vastly more
in the way of liberty. progress and pros

or could have hoped to enjoy under an in
dependence represented by an Aguinaldan
dictatorship. With Judge Taft installed as

and judiciously aided by a mixed govern

sufficient military TO enforce order, the
work of establishing civil liberty and
stable government there will go forward
very fast.

THE RESULT OF TILLMANIsM.

The revelations Of the grand jury in
South Carolina. showing that negro la
borers have been reduced TO a condition
of bondage, should not cause much sur
prise. The negro. that is. the average
negro of South Carolina, has been de-
prived OF all that constitutes citizen
ship. Long before he was deprived OF
the right To vote by Tillman's legislation
he was fraudulently deprived OF the right
to vote. Citizenship without the ballot
is OF no value in this country. because
ii affords the man no protection. When
a race. because II is a race. is deprived
OF the ballot. II becomes the victim OF
those who perpetrate the outrage. The
colored man In South Carolina has no
rights IN the courts, and little protec-
ton under the laws. The only thing that
