BIRDS AND ELECTRIC WIRES.
Seem to Know the Danger That
Turks In Electricity.

A letter which reaches us from
Naples will be read with interest. The
writer In visiting the great electric
works there, seems to have been
struck chiefly with what was told
him by the engineer in charge with
regard to the habits of the birds
in the neigh borhood. Never by any
chance, he says, do they ever settle
on the wires that conduct the electric
force to the city, but always wait till
the current Is interrupted before
alighting. we always switch off
the current" said the electrician,
from noon till ] p m. every day A
few moments after noon the wires are
crowded with birds, but few min.
utes before / o'clock they all fly
away and never attempt to sit on the
wires. II by any chance we are
obliged to keep the current after
midday, the birds are there ready to
settle. but on approaching the wires
ny away again. 1t seems t1at they
know when a wire Is conveying cleo
tricity. Even the flies seem TO know
You will never see ny settle on q

Gov. Robert M. La Follette's mas
querade in the character of a diyinely
appointed champion of the rights of the
people against the corrupting influence
of the political 'sbosses" is at an end
The mask which he has so long worn has
been torn from him and he stands re-
vealed in his true character as selfish.
scheming politician, ready at a moments
notice to drop his reform" pretenses, be-
tray his honest followers and become a
part of the goddess machine" which he
has professed with so much violence to
abhor.
The Sentinel is in possession of letters
which reveal his political hypocrisy in all
its nakedness. 1t is prepared to prove
that the self-styled apostle Of reform
who has ragged on thousand rostrums
over the unholiness of the so-called
"bosses" made overtures to combine with
those same men against whose evil do
inrs he had warned Goods patient poor
in endless columns of burning eloquence.
These oyertures were made to make easy
his approach to the gubernatorial chair
and pave the way for his elevation to
the limited States Senate. They stamp
him as "reformer" for Office only and
nrove his insincerity beyond the shadow
of a doubt.
The story adds an intensely interesting
chapter to the political history of Wis

In the letter of May Is Mr.. La Toilette

my position and can speak for me inso-

This letter establishes clearly Mr.. La
Follette's connection with and cognizance
of the negotiations.
On June Mr.. La Toilette forwarded
to Mr.. Kress at Wellsboro, Pa, copy
of an interview printed in the Sentinel of
May 81, 1860, in which he Ola Follette)
states his position and disclaims any in
tention to become a candidate for the
United States senatorship at the close of
his first term as governor should he be
elected to that office. This interview is
significant in view of the written PROPOSE
ton for a settlement presented to Mr..
Payne by Messrs. Kress and Murphy on
May II.
In the face Of this evidence of the in
sincerity Of Gov. La Toilette, his most
faithful supporters and willing tools can
find no excuse for their alliance with him
except self-interest or hynotic spell.
WILLING TO COMPROMISE.
After years of the most violent oppo-
sition to the leaders of the Republican
party, whom he was wont to characterize
in his personal publications as "the
Payne-Sawyer-Pfist combine" La Fol-
lette sought to enter that combine and
become a part of the much abused ina
chine"
He was willing to desert Goods pa
tient poor" and leave them to the suffer-
ings which he SO graphically described
in his Fern Dell speech.
He was willing to betray the conf
dence reposed in him by those who had
been persuaded to believe in his honesty
of purpose and the bona fides of his in
people to the best of his ability. He
was prepared, in fact, to betray both
sdes-to sell out his followers by max
ing a combination with those whom he
had opposed, the machine" and to re.
pudiate any agreements with the oppo-
sition leaders after he had once secured
could dictate terms to all who had dared
to dispute his authority. He had politi-
cal gold bricks for sale.
THE CORRESPONDENCE OPENS.
The correspondence opens with a let
ter under date of May 3, 1900, written
by III. G.. Kress, a mutual friend OF
the two gentlemen-Messrs. Payne and
La Toilette. The letter states that the
writer had already had two conferences
with La Toilette, and regrets that Mr.
Payne was not in Milwaukee at the time
the Republican state convention was
held for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the national convention to b.
held in Philadelphia in June. 1t will
be remembered that at that convention
opposition developed among La Fol
| lette's followers to the return of Mr.
Payne to membership on the nationa
committee and a contest was made owe

MR.. PAYNES REPLY.

The repy Of Mr.. Payne to the above
letter is characteristic of the man. He
makes no reference to the unjust and In
temperate personal war that has been
waged against him for q number of
years, merely expressing wish that the
differences in the party which he believed
grew out Of the Bennett law campaign
could be adjusted and harmony restored.
He states that he is not candidate for
Office and has no expectation of aspiring
to political place. Here is his letter:
milwaukee, Wis, May 8, 1900.

tests which have obtained in this state.

natural outcome of the unfortunate Ben

ton as occurred at that time could hardly
take place without leaving sore spots and
considerable bitterness. No one will go
further than l will to promote harmony
in the party and to unite all the disturb
ing elements.
at is an honorable ambition for any
man to desire to become governor Of the
state of Wisconsin, and l shall be very

is shown by the letter Of Mr.. Kress of
May IL.
Upon the demand of Mr.. Payne the
propositions upon which an agreement
was asked by Mr.. La Toilette were re-
duced to writing and submitted to Mr..
Payne. Among those propositions,
which are printed above, is the signif-

KRESS ANXIOUS FOR HARMONY

To this letter Mr.. Ksess replied in such

from La Toilette, but that he had failed
because the latter was not at home and
could not be reached. He appears to

Of La Toilette may have opened nego-
