WHY STAY PALE.

A pity to see pale girls stay
aale and dull when it is so easy
to get SCOTS Emulsion.
One Of the best things
SCOTS Emulsion does is to
give rich blood to pale girls.
The result of regular doses

Reciprocity With Cuba.

The question of what shall be
done in the way of tariff concessions
to Cuba, which has agitated Con-
gress during the entire session, seems
in fair way to be settled satisfacto-
rilv to all interests. The demand
has been persistently made for a 20
per cent. tariff reduction in favor of
Cuba. This the beet sugar men of
the United States opposed. An
added reason seen by many for
opposing the proposition was the
supposition, or the fear, that the
benefit of such reduction would
accrue to the refiners of sugar in this
country, instead of beneftting the
Cuban producers. Senator Spooner's
bill seems to be acceptable to the
majority in Congress and will effect
the purpose asked by the President
in behalf of the Cuban people. This
bill provides for reciprocity and will
accomplish a 20 per cent. reduction
in tariff rates for the Cubans if two
things that are provided for in the
bill shall be first secured: That the
Cuban republic pass laws establishing
preferential rates of customs duties
on any or all articles the growth,
production or manufacture of the
United States imported into Cuba;
and if it can be shown that the
concession made on the part of the
United States-the reduction in Gus
toms duties-shall inure to the
Cuban people.

The Panama Route Wins.

The question of routes for an
isthmian canal is virtually settled in
the passage by the senate of the
Spooner substitute for the Hepburn
bill. The Hepburn bill provides
for canal on the Nicaragua route.
The Spooner bill substitutes the
Panama route for the Nicaragua
route. This bill provides for build
ing a canal on the Panama route,
provided that the Panama company
can give a good title in the sale of
its property to the United States
for the specified price of $4o,ooo,ooo'
This the President is to ascertain.
The bill is now in conference be-
tween the House and Senate with a
good prospect that the House will
accept the Senate proposition. 1t is
evident that the route determined
upon by this action of the Senate is
the more feasible.

ly willing to stretch any point in
order that the people of the South
might have an opportunity to deal
with their own problems in their
own way. They have been too
patient and too forbearing. And
now, as before the war, it seems to
be interpreted as cowardice, and to
mark the time for forcing new
insults upon them at every turn.
Such is the rabid course of the
senators who have spoken for Dem
ocracy on the Philippine question.
They have lied, slandered, sworn
like fishwives. They have denoun-
ced the army, insulted the flag.
And as part of the entertainment
they have told how they kill "nig-
gers" when they feel like it, and
propose to kill them in the future.
This is tanning the embers of section
alism. Continued long enough, it
will coax them into hames.-Rcd

A Proper Candidate.

The only objection made openly to
the reelection of Col. John c..
Spooner to the senate is that he is
not an avowed candidate. That OBJ
lection is considered by most men to
be largely in his favor. That he is
not actively seeking a reelection is
trait that commends him to the
favorable consideration of the people
as, ''other things being equal" an
ideal candidate. This is an instance,
and such instances are rare, of the
office seeking the man. His eminent
fitness by natural endowment, ac-
quired qualities and successful ex-
perience to represent the great state
of Wisconsin in the United States
Senate, in conjunction with the fact
that he is not seeking the place, con-
stitutes him the candidate par excel
lence for the people. The usual
practice of the professional office
seeker to seek the office with unre-
lenting persistence, is not strong
recommendation of his fitness for the
place to which he asplres. For a
man s'to walk on his belly and eat
dirt all the days of his life" in order
to get an office is spectacle that
affects most men with an aversion
akin to disgust. 1t would be good
policy for voters to agree never to
vote for a man who was not first
"called"-and not self called-to be
candidate.

Reviving Sectionalism.

For the first time i'll many years
there is possibility that sectionalism
may be revived by the action of the
Democrats in congress. The situa-
ton, indeed, presents some features
not unlike that of the years immedi-
ately preceding the civil war. Then
as now, Democrats were unbridled
of thought and of speech, incessant
in their insulting attacks upon the
representatives of the North, utterly
contemptuous Of the honor of the ma
ton when not hostile to the idea of
nationality itself. Then as now one
excess bred another, until at last they
learned the cost of rousing that colder
but fercer temper, so much slower
to provoke but so much more deadly
in its wrath.
Sectional;sm in this country has
been dead, so far as the North is con-
cerned, for more than twenty years.
AS far as the South is concerned, too,
we have learned to hope that it had
passed away. 1t is the fear, appar-
emily, of some of the most desperate
and discredited politicians of that
region, that it will entirely vanish,
leaving them without any capital in
their business. They have, there
fore, busted themselves of late in an
effort to revive it, which will be
successful if the calmer, saner and
more honest people behind them do
not call a halt and administer a
rebuke.
The people ofthe North have gone
to the farthest extremity of tolerance.
| They have seen certain results of the
war sacrificed. They have seen an
important section of the constitution
of the United States absolutely NULL
fed: not merely in public opinion
but bv the most solemn official acts
of several states. They have taker
no action, because they were honest

"Be Good And You Will Be
Happy


Some of the politician editors-not
all "pin heads"-have worked them
selves into state of frenzy over the
personal feature of a candidate for
governor-as to who shall be the
candidate. A faction strenuously
insists that a certain man shall be
the candidate, while another faction
is as strenuously opposed to this
candidate. This is bad state of
affairs. The same thing happened
in Oregon in the campaign that
preceded the election in that state
held the first of the month. The
state elected congressman and state
officers. All the candidates on the
Republican ticket were elected except
the head of the ticket The Demo
cratic candidate for governor was
elected by small majority while
the majority for the Republican
candidates was over 10000, showing
the disastrous effects of factionalism
within the party. On all candidates
except for governor the members of
the party were in harmony. On
governor the fight was so bitter that
the factionists preferred the election
of Democrat to voting for man in
their own party whom they unalter-
ably opposed.

The State Convention.

The republican state convention
will be held at Madison Wednesday,
July 10. The convention will nomi-
nate candidate for governor, lieu
tenant governor, secretary of state,
state treasurer, attorney general,
state superintendent, railroad COM
missioner and insurance commits
sioner. The caucuses are to be held
in each voting precinct in this county
on the I2rh day of July, at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon in all towns and at
1870 in all villages and cities, to
elect delegates to the county conven-
ton that meets at Ellsworth on
Monday, July II, at 100 O'Clock in
the afternoon. The sole object and
end of the county convention held at
this time is to elect delegates to the
state conventian to be held at Madi-
son on the 10Th of July. Let this
be distinctly understood: The caucus
es to be held on the 18th are not to
elect delegates to a convention that
will nominate a member ofassembly
OF any county officer. A convention
for that purpose will be held later.
Let us keep this question of nomi-
nee for governor distinct from all
Others. People may differ on this
and agree on others. Settle the
question of nominee for governor
first, and abide by the decision a:
determined by the majority. After
the state convention is over we can

Farmers Organizations.

Dunn county has farmers club,
recently organized. Farmers are
the last to- look to their own interest.
Other classes of industries have their
close organizations and each class
safeguards it's own interests. The
farmers are all cat sea" and as the
sailor said when his vessel foundefed,
cit is every man for myself" The
farmers furnish the ''sinews of war;"
They produce the sustaining forces
of the world; the necessaries of life.
Without these commodities produced
by the tillers of the soil and furnished
to the trades no other industries can
thrive, and yet the farmer in the
market with his wares is at the caprice
of the merchant. The merchant, as
suming that the farmer doesn't know
his own business, puts price on his
wheat, oats, corn, butter, eggs, cattle,
hogs and poultry and pays him what
he chooses; at the same time he fixes
the price upon his own goods that
the farmer must pay, for everything
he buys. The reason for this ought
to be plain to the tiller of the soil.
1t is because other industries are
organized and act in intelligent
harmony. The regulation of prices
is a big affair. 1t is not an arbitrary
matter. Prices are regulated legiti-
mately by supply and demand.
This is the fundamental law. To
understand what the price of a
necessity should be requires knowl-
edge OF the demand that will be
made for it and an understanding of
what can be furnished. The farmer
cannot know this except through
those sources that are organized
with facilities to know the facts, the
amount of the different necessities
raised, the amount on hand, the num-
Der of people likely to buy, their
ability to purchase, and the general
conditions Of trade-a complicated
situation, and yet one that an organi-
cation of farmers should have in
hand as well, and perhaps better,
than others. AS it is, others set the
price for him and ne is necessitated
to accept. AS an individual he
may protest, may kick with both
feet, to no purpose only to be laughed
at, for he, as one, can't help himself
as against an organized host in
opposition to him. But let him
associate his neighbor with him, and
he his neighbor, until the combina-
ton is more potent force, than is
opposed to him and the kicking may
be transferred to the other side if
there is occasion for any protestation,
which there should not be when
every one is allowed his own. Farm
ers are now-if they were not
formerly-an intelligent class OF
people. Their observation should
have practical expression in organi-
cations for their own advantage
They should stand where they have
a right to stand and where they may
stand in public estimation. and in
Auence. Farmers have made some
progress. They begin to see where
they are at. The time will come
when they will be where they ought
to be and where they can contro
their own interests. When the
sshayseeds" get their heads together
when they can secure and maintain
an effective organization, they may
be able to say: "There are no fife

ANAAN -
Sepumus Winner, composer Of 1.-THE
Mockiug Bird" and hundreds Of other
popular songs, died suddenly last week
AT bis home 10 Philadelphia. he was &c
years old. A number OF versions, some
of them partially correct, given of the
circumstances that led Mr.. Winner to
write "Llston to the Mocking Bird. "
This is the story as Mr.. Winner told ii:
"There was a colored boy by the name
of Dick, or WhistlIng Dick, as people
called him, who was always whistllng
and singing about the streets OF Phila-
delphia to the accompaniment of bis
guitar. l SAID to him: Dick, i'll we're
10 write a song with words and music,
would you sing ftp He said Yes and
so l wrote Listen to the Mocking Bird.
1t was written, as l wrote all my songs
at night after the store Was closed =
FIRST the words, then the music. When
It was done | taught it to Dick. He
had a little voice and had to drop an
octave in singing the refrain, but as
soon as he began to sing it the people
caught the melody wherever they heard
it. When it was published it went like
wildfire and was played by the bands
and sold by the thousands.
The chorus and other verses of "The
Mocking Bird' are as follows:
Listen to the knocking bird,
Listen to the knocking bird,
The hooking bird singing DER heI
grave;
Listen to the knocking bird,
Listen to the knocking bird,
Still singing where the weeping
willows wave,
ALL we'll l yet remember, remember
remember,
All we'll / yet remember,
When we gather in the cotton sid'

Twas in the MID c%episIesr
And the knocking bird WAS slnginl

When the charms Of spring awaken

And the knocking bird is singing Of
the bough,

forsaken,
I feel like one forsaken,
