first time the Democrat has pro-
nounced itself opposed TO all taxa
ton Of evidences Of debt, aud for the
first time declares in favor of repeal
ing the law which has been OH the
statute books for forty years. Dur
ing that time the democratic party
has been i'm position to repeal it, yet
no suggestion of such action was
heard from any democratic source.
Following Is "a "a HI g 9s us representa-
ton a week later with the self gratu-
lation that people had commended
them, the Democrat proceeds to CON
denim the movement for tax reform
as "A phase of populism, and to class its
advocates as "populists." Republic
cans of Wisconsin have declared and
reiterate that they favor laws to
the end that each individual and
every corporation shall bear just
and proportionate share OF the bul-
dens of taxation No honest man de-
sires to shift his just and proportion
ate share OF taxes upon his neignbors.
Therefore, if to favor such laws is
populism, all honest men must be
populists. The Democrats fear that
agitation for equitable taxation will
drive capital from the state and raise
interest rates, hurtful to the debtor
class, is the same bug-aboo present
ed by tax dodgers and their apollo
gists to brighten Legislators from at
tempting honestly to correct the evils
of unjust taxation, which all know
prevails.

DlscREpIrEp LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.

In Grant county, the Herald of
Lancaster, the Times of Fennimore,
the Witness and Journal Of Platte
Vile, the Waterman of Muscoda, the
Dial OF Boscobel and the News of
Cuba City, seven papers, including
the most pretentious, have vigorous
" opposed aFollette's renomination
vet Mt caucuses held in the county
las week an overwhelming majority
of the delegates elected are favora
bic to the governor. In Sank county
all the social republican papers re-
tailed stulwart views for months
past, yet the republican voters of
Sank county demanded in caucuses
last week, most emphatically, that
LaFollette be renominated. Green
county republican papers have all
bitterly opposed the governor, but
the people of the county needed
them not, and have elected delegates
for his denomination. In LaFay cite
county the conditions are the same
as regards the newspapers, and even
opponents Of the governor admit
that the county will send a solid del
egation for him to the state conven-
ton. In many other counties the
same is true.
Is this to be accepted as evidence
that local newspapers are normally
without influence with their readers,
or is it because of the well-grounded
| reports that most of these papers
| have bean corrupted with eleventh
story money? TO accept either the
DRY is unpleasant for all connected
with the local press of the state, but
its lesson may ultimately be benefi-
| cial to those who would corruptly
secure newspaper support, in teach
ing them that support so obtained is
valueless; and also in bringing news
paper publishers to see that they
can hope to have influence upon their
readers only when there is no shadow
of suspicion that their expressions
and opinions represent a purchase
price.

LAST Saturday an order by Pres
ideut Roosevelt was promulgated to
the effect that employees in the gov
erment departments at Washington
shall no longer be dependent on SEN
atorial recommendation for advance
ment. Ifrigi6ly adhered to, this, it is
believed, will operate toremove civil
service farth er from political inter-
ference than it has ever before been
in the history of the country. But
there may be found ways of nullify-
ing the order as there have been
found ways OF multiplying laws on
the same subject.

THE cost of "a ticket from Chicago
to New York on the Twentieth Cen
fury train, which makes the run in
twenty hours, is S2S, and IS for II
berth. Meals are served la carte,
The cost Of ticket on a regular
twenty eight hour train is $50, meals
500, on which one may fill up and
then sit up all night If he wishes or
if he would sleep in such comfort as
travelling permits, his berth-through
cost him So. The old limited train
still carries people through in TWEEN
ty-four hours for S24, So it costs 81
an hour for every hour the trip is
shortened. On the average it isn't
worth the money.

Nationality Of Mine Employees in the
Anthracite Regions.

There has been IA great change in
employees within twenty years.
Formerly, Ireland, England and
Wales furnished the sinew which
produced the coal. Many of the men
had worked in mines in their native
land, lying upon their backs as they
piled their picks in the thin seams
OF the English and Welsh channel
After the great strike of 1877 the coal
operators, who looked abroad for re-
lief from the power of the labor un-
ions, found new race of workmen
in the peasants of the Austrian-H
garian monarchy, and the Poles and
Lithuaniaus of the neighboring Rus
sian provinces. To-day the Irish
man, Welshman, and Englishman,
if he is in the mines at all, occupies
"A clerical position or that of a boss.
Most of them have gone into other
businesses. The miners and laborers
of today, british and uncouth as they
appear with their Cld-world customs
and their unpronounceable names.
are always on the upward trend.
They have learned English; they
have learned mining they have
become naturalized. In the old
times pay day in IA mining
town was a synonym for rush of
business in the stores; to-day the
merchants complain that it brings
them little increase of trade from the
Slav miners. The present difficulty
about hours and wages arises from
the fast that there are too many men
in the business,--tha is, the cost of
production is divided among too
many employees, and the same is
true OF the hours necessary to keep
up the supply of coal demanded by
the market.--From anthracite Coal
Mines and Mining by Rosomond d.
Rhoue, in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for July.

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Thus far there has been suggested
but one name for lieutenant govern
or on the republican state ticket,
that of Hon. J. O. Davidson, OF Craw-
ford county, present state treasurer.
In the mind Of the writer there are
other worthy men and other counties
of the Third congressional district
quite as deserving of consideration
in the state convention, Richland
county has never been represented
on the republican state or congress
sional ticket, though she has always
been one of the most reliable coun-
ties i'm support of the party. Every
other county Of the district has had
such recognition. Now if the dis
trict is to be conceded u place on the
state ticket, why not accord the hon
or and do tardy justice to sturdy
Richland county? We have in mind
a citizen of that county who would
ornament any place on the ticket.
H., is in no sense candidate, and
this is penned wholly without adj
vice or consent from him, but we be-
lieve he would appreciate recogni-
ton by the party which he has served
long and well. The man in mind is
Hon. L. II. BANCROFT, ex-county
Judge of RicLland county. In speaF-
ing for the republican party in many
campaigns he has become known as
an eloquent and convincing orator.
His speech before the last legislature
in reply to Jim Monalian's TRADE
against the primary election law, was
IA masterpiece and showed him well
informed and sound on that import
ant proposed legislation. IT Judge
Bancroft will consent, there ought to
he u unahimo;s vote for him from
the Third congressional district for
lieutenant governor

MALTREATMEHT OF sPooNER.

The splendid record of John G
Sp"oner as United States Senator is
recognized of all men. and IS an hon
or to the state he represents. That
he should be continued in the posi-
ton for the good Of the nation, but
few have questioned. If he is not re-
turned the blame must rest on those
who have used his name tn bolster
up their futile and selfish scheme to
overthrow Governor LaFollette and
def at the peoples demands for bet
ter political methods and more equi-
table distribution Of taxation in this
state. Reckless of consequence to
the senator, the party or the country,
these selfish marplots have cried
through every county in the state:
"The success of LaFollette means
the retirement of.Spooner," notwith-
standing that many Of the staunch-
est supporters Of the governor have
been unequivocal in commentator
of the senator, and in favor of his re-
election.
But comparatively few of the peo-
pie have been deceived, however.
Caucuses already held have elected
delegates enough to give LaFollette
"A majority in the state convection
and assure his denomination by a
two-thirds vote. Defeated in their
main purpose, the gang now seek re-
venge, and, TO obtain it, are further
maltreating Spooner. Their leading
purchased organ, the Milwaukee
Sentinel, now demands that the gov
ernor specifically declare himself u
supporter of Spooner for reelection,
knowing full well that the governor
should not and will not do so i'm
proper and unwis7 II thing, having
repeatedly stated that be would not
espouse the cause Of any man for the
senatorship, whatever his preference
might be. The purpose Of this un-
reasonable demand is to prejudice
the governor in public estimation
and weaken him at the polls. Its
feet upon the senator is nothing to
them. They care not that it makes
it harder for LaFollette's entlusias-
tic friends to help re-elect Spooner,
though predisposed TO do so; neither
do they care that it places Spooner
in position where he must look for
reelection to those who have been
vilitied and aggravated unrelenting
ly over his shoulders.
Yet there is ground for belief that
La Follette's friends and champions
will not be driven from allegiance to
Senator Spooner by the injustice
done ard the political villianies per
petrated ostensibly in his behalf.

WIFE AND A MILLION.
Successful Matrimonial Tack of =
Yale Foot Ball Player.

AhAo EOo - AAAgGE
When James @. Greenway struggled
valiantIy against the victorious Prince
ton foot ball team in 1899 he won the
greatest victory of his life.
He won a bride and 1,000,0 900.
The wedding took place at Pittsburg last
week and was worthy Of the romance, re-
lates the New York World.
The bride was Miss Harriet Miller Lau-
der, a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lauder of ~Ffttsburg. Mr.. Greenway didn't
know that she was to have a million.
Neither did she. That was Andrew Car
negie's wedding gift to his niece.
James @. Greenway is a real Greenway,
and that means much. A real Greenway
has a standing in college athletics like a
real Poe. They do things.
His brother, John G. Greenway, estab-
lished a reputation at Yale that is likely
to last as long as college athletics en-
dure. Then he made an even greater rep.
utation as one OF Roosevelt's Rough Rid
ers.
James came along and proved himself
a better all-round athlete than John.
or course. being a Greenway. James went
In for foot ball. He made the varsity team
and played right tackle in 1898 and 1899.
This didn't content him. He went In for
rowing as we'll and he made the crew. II
is extremely dinicult for a man 20 make
both, because they overlap in a measure,
and they do not leave any too much time
for one to keep up with his studies. IT Is
absolutely necessary for a student to keep
up his work in his classes nowadays.
He also went in for base ball and ended
up his athletic achievements by winning a
place on the track team.
When the Cuban war broke out DR.. John
Greenway straightway applied to Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt for permission to Join the
regiment. He was then in practice in New
York and was beginning to make a name
for himself.
Colonel Roosevelt was mighty glad to have
DR.. John and made him assistant surgeon,
with the rank Of lieutenant. James G.
Greenwey was then q student in Yale and
nightly interested in foot ball. having
made the team. but he was more interested
in hghting, so he, too. applied to Colonel
Roosevelt. He was accepted also and the
brothers went to the Cuban war together
and both won distinction.
After the regiment was mustered out DR..
John GTeenway went back to his practice in
New York and James returned to Yale to
finish his education. He again made the
foot ball team, being given HIS old place
as tackle. And he played a smashing good
game. That was one OF the years when
the Blue suffered defeat at the hands OF
Princeton, the Tigers winning by a score Of
II to 10. but G~reenway's work stood out
boldly and ever so many people talked
about II.
But the impression made upon the Yale
men and the Princeton men and all the
spectators was as nothing TO the impression
which James @. Greenway made upon Miss
Harriet Miller Lauder. She is a Farming
ton girl who has Travelled much.
She wanted TO meet the young giant. and
as soon as he saw her be was very anxiOuf
to know her. The young people fell in low,
at first sight. but they waited four yean
before they married.
