their eyes open.

Wisconsin is agitated by lively
contest over the election of delegates to
the state convention and to the legisla-
tive conventions between the support
ers of Gov. La Toilette for renomin-
alton and the ''stalwarts, as his
opponents are call. Whether La Fol-
letge shall win Or fail is a matter in
which little interest is felt outside of
Wisconsin. But behind it and in
volved in it is another contest in which
the people of the United States have a
deep interest. The main object OF
Gov. La Toilette and his followers is
to gain control of the legislature with
view to elect him to the United
States senate in place of Spooner. This
purpose is not openly acknowledged,
and is even disavowed by some of the
leading organs and supporters of La

REPUBLICANISM VS..
LA FOLLETTEISM.

The new system of assessment,
thanks to Gov. La Toilette and the tax
commission, will drive every dollar
of loanable money ont of the state,
cripple enterprise, drive hundreds in
to bankruptcy, increase the rate Of
interest and bring about the same
conditions that paralyzed Kansas for
several years. Large manufacturing
and industrial institutions will be driven
from the state, employment for labor
will be greatly curtailed and villages
and cities that are now prosperous will
become the abode OF poverty and bats.
It is time the people awoke to what
threatens them and eschewed party
for the time being and worked for
themselves instead of political takers
who talk reform for their own politi-
cal ACCOMPLISHMENTS, needless of con-
sequences Lake Leader.
That R. M. La Toilette was actively
supported for nomination and elected
by railroad lobbyists and corporation
interests, no one can deny. That he
secured special train with which to
make tour of the state, at less than
regular rates, no one can deny. That
the railroad lobbyists used words aud
tables of figures in his message to de-
feat any increase in railroad trxes. no
one can deny That be failed to in
terest himself in the passage of any
tax bill until after such bills had been

withstanding all of the above facts,

of an increase in railroad taxes. Do

Last week Friday the Pan American
Commission of Wisconsin returned to
the state treasury S., 1863, 70 as
the balance over from the appropria-
ton of $25, 900 made by the legisla-
ture of 1899 for the purpose of show
ing natural and Industrial resources
of the state at the Buffalo fair.
This large balance is regarded as a
gratifying evidence of the care and
economy manifested by President w.
A. Van Brunt and his colleagues on
the board.

To person On the lookout for re-
liable political information, the daily
newspapers, that are supposed to have
ample resources for news-gathering,
give little that is satisfactory. In the
morning if you chance to pick up the
Daily Sentinel first, the stalwarts have
carried every precinct thus far, except
a few unimportant ones carried
for La Toilette by the smuggling in of
Democratic votes. If on the other
hand, you take up the Free Press first,
the whole country is turning out
en- masse in support Of the Governor
except in few districts that have all
the time been conceded to the stall
warts. The evening papers are no
better. If you take up the Evening
Wisconsin, it is stalwart in the edito-
rial department and La Toilette in it's
news columns, or vice versa, just as the
wind happens to blow that day. The
Milwaukee journal, if in two-column-
in-width prophetic humor, sees all
sorts of disaster in store for both
factions of the Republican party as
cratic party with which it does not
happen to agree for the time being.
The Milwaukee News is too busy try
ing to make good it's claim of being
the Official paper of Milwaukee to pay
much attention. to telling the truth in
any political statement it makes and
in this respect has not changed
materially for years whenever it has
treated OF the observation-disclosures
that may mean.
Nor is the above the most exasper-
ating forms of uncertainty. The con-
Trajectory double dealing of individ-
uals is still more puzzling. Neither
gratitude for favors received nor the
usual binding force of a promise are
considered of any account when COM
pared with the fine arts of lying and
treachery considered as necessary
sdjuncts to political shrewdness.
OExperience is hard teacher, but
fools viii learn of no other. Men who
to-day are wearing the La Toilette
collar and glory in their servility conld
learn wisdom by studying the past.
E. w. Reyes in the zenith of his pol
itical power, discovered La Toilette
in the town of Primrose, and launched
him into the political armament, a star
"of purest ray serene' and was stab
bed in the back for his pains. Senator
Sawyer took up the task of pushing
La Follette's political fortunes and in
his old age was stricken by an ingrate's
hand. Our own congressman is now
suffering the usual retribution of fidel-
ity to such a friend, Each in his
turn when he is thought to be of nc
further use will be turned down,
some sooner. others later, to wonder
why they had been SO long in getting
their eyes open.

Toilette. It is cloaked under other
issues on which it is expected to carry
the legislature, but it appears to be
generally understood that the guber-
Material and legislative contests are
the preliminary moves in an under
hand game to supplant Spooner with
La Toilette in the senate.
This movement derives some
strength from the fact that year or
moro ago Senator Spooner gave notice
that he didn't intend to be candidate
for reelection to the senate. But it is
we'll known that it was the precarious
state of his wife's health at the time,
making imperative her permanent
removal to a more. favorable climate
than that of Washington. which deter
mined him at the time to retire from
public life. AS her health is now
said to be to great extent re-establish-
ed thess reasons for his retirement no
longer exist, and, although he is not
ostensibly q candidate for reelection,
it is not doubted by his friends that he
would obey the call of the Republi-
cans of Wisconsin to remain at the
post he has filled with such distin-
gushed honor to his state and in which
he has rendered such eminent services
to the country. The failure to re-
elect Spooner would be. serious loss
to the nation and much more than a
serions loss to Wisconsin. 1t would
be disgrace to the state. For he is
by all odds the most important and
influential Republican in the senate.
To all intents and purposes he is the
acknowledged leader of his party in
that body. On every important
national issue of the day he is recog.
nized as the ablest and most effective
exponent and defender of its policies.
AS debater he has no equal on the
floor of the senate. AS construct
i've statesman he stands head and
shoulders obove his ablest colleagues.
and in every critical emergency his is
the guiding hand which pilots the
party to a safe anchorage through the
storms of controversy and the reefs of
party dissension. Wisconsin has
gained high degree of national pres
tige through the commanding ability
and wise and prudent craftsmanship of
her distinguished son. It's people are
proud of him, and if the question
were put to popular vote he would
be reelected by an overwhelming
majority of the voters of Wisconsin.
Yet the Republican party in Wisconsin
is so divided on loca. issues that it is
quite possible that it's majority in the
Legislature may be considerably reduced,
and may be SO split up with discussions
on these issues as to imperil the cleo
ton of a Republican senator, or be so
manipulated in the interest OF La Fol-
lette, if he is elected governor, as to
defeat the reelection of Senator
SpOoner. There are evident grounds
at least for the belief that Gov. La
Toilette is ambitious to succeed Spoon
er and that he will leave no stone un-
turned to accomplish this cherished
object of his political aspirations.

From the Watertown Republ lean,
May 3, 1866.
Hon. L. b. Caswell, of Fort Atkin-
son, writes a letter to the Chicago
Tribune, reasserting the claim of Col.
Harnden, of the 1st Cavalry, to the
honor of having captured jeff. Davis.
Mr.. Caswell says that Col. II. and his
command, when nearly worn out with
many days and nights severe marching,
pointed out to Col. Pritchard, of the
Fourth Michigan. whom they accident
ly met, just where their victim was, or
would be encamped that night; that
Col. P. acting upon this information,
availed himself of the darkness, went
with his detachment without the
slightest intimation to Colonel H., and
at daylight seized the already Gagged
rebel. Our friend Caswell thinks this
was rot exactly honorable; and we are
not sure but he is right. We rather
think he Whitewater Register.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1902-06-28
Why for Caswell?

We were asked why the REPUBLICAN
supports Hon. B. Caswell for nominal
ton for member of Congress.
Because he is the ablest man in this
district whose name is at present men
toned for that position.
Because he has had years of valu-
able experience and his record as a
useful member of the House of Rep
resentatives has never been surpassed
by that Of any other member from the
state of Wisconsin.
Because he is not connected with
the factional fight now being waged
in the republican party, and his can
didacy would tend to harmonic the
discordant elements within the district.
Because it is wise politics for Jeffer-
son county delegates to the coming
Republican Congressional Convention
to have home candidate upon whom
they can unite and act as unit, there
by commanding respect and securing
political advantages that a divided
delegation could not do.
Because every old soldier in the
district, especially every living survi-
vor of the First Wisconsin Cavalry
owes Mr.. Caswell a debt of gratitude
for the part he took in influencing the
distribution of the reward offered for
the capture of jeff. Davis.
Those who have read the history of
that capture will remember the un-
fortunate collision between the First
Cavalry and the Fourth Michigan
Cavalry and the dispute as to which
regiment was entitled to share in the
reward. The reward was at first
assigned to the Michigan Regiment,
but through the personal efforts of
Mr.. Caswell the case was reopened
and reviewed and the members of the
First Wis. Cavalry came in for share
in the reward. Every old soldier who
feels pride in the record made by
Wisconsin troops during the civil war
cannot but feel grateful to Mr.. Caswell
for the honorable part he bore in be-
half of Wisconsin soldiers.

Profit from Alabama Strawberries.

Last season a fruit grower ut Castle
berry, on the Louisville & Nashville road,
in South Alabama, made $1,000 net on
three acres in Strawberries This was
after deducting the whole cost of culti-
walton, gathering, and everything else.
the figures having been verified by Cen
eral Freight Agent Sheppard Of the
Louisville & Nashville by an expert rx-
animation of his books. Others in that
vicinity did almost as wei, and the re-
suit is that the acreage in Strawberries
there has been increased from Is 10 300
A good many of the forty-hve acres are
in young plants. which will make their
first crop next season. OF the 25J acres
now being set out, 100 acres are being
put in by employees Of the railroad. who
are operating together with the double
purpose of developing the business and
making money. Some idea of what 800
acres in Strawberries means may be gath
cred from the fact that it will take 5000
pickers TO keep mp with the gathering
an acre III fun bearing requiring twelve
pickers. The location is in the pine
woods section of Alabama, the soil being

1t is just century ago that Daniel
Fell made the first successful test of
hard coal i'll Luzerne county, Pa, for
heating purposes. 1t is said that the
Indians knew of the black stones and
made pipe bowls Of them. Morayian
missionaries early came across the
strange mineral in their long journeys
trough the woods. Even after the coal
had begun to be mined it was difficult
to sell any. The people did not under
stand how to use it and asserted that
it would not burn. Signed certificates
that "stone coal will burn had to be
sold intending purchasers. Even as late
as 1921 the Lehigh and Navigation Corn
pany sent but 30 tons to Philadelphia.
Hard coal was first successfully used ne
the wire mills OF White & Hazard. Falls
Of Schuylkill through an accident in De
cember, 1914. The coal cost $2S ton.
But the men could not ignite it, In cx-
ASPIRATION they pitched a quantity of
coal into a furnace, shut the doors and
went about some other work. Some
hours later the furnace doors were found
to be red hot and the interior mass of
FIRE. William Henry, a manufacturer of
muskets near Nazareth, had secured
some of the coal in 179S for his FORCES.
His blacksmith told him the neighbors
called him 4 fool for trying to burn the
back stones" In 1908, however, he
built a mill and successfully used hard
coal in it.
