The announcement that Senator John
G. Spooner will again consent to accept
the signal honor of representing Wis
consin in the U. S. senate is made in re-
ply to Joint letter from Rock county's
delegation in the next legislature. The
senator's position is outlined as follows;
"The action of the senate and assem-
fbly conventions and the public commit
tai of nominees in response to the senti-
.ment of their constituents, leaves me in
no doubt that it is my duty to say to you
in response to your request that if the
members of the legislature shall, in &C
scordance with the instructions and other
pledges to which you refer to choose me
to be my own successor in the Office of
senator, shall consider such action as
command which the republican party of
Wisconsin may rightfully lay upon me
and which, since private duty no longer
obstructs, I may not rightfully disobey."

The curiosity of people to learn the
amount of money expended by political
candidates for Office has in measure
been satisfied in the published expendi-
lures recently made. But what will as
tonish most people is the large amounts
expended by candidates for political
preferment oftentimes amounting to
nearly the entire salary of the office. 1t
hardly seems necessary that candidate
for congress need spend half or quar-
ter of his salary of the entire term to Sc
cure an election, or that governor
should be required to contribute $1,000
to $4,000 for reelection. Those good
old Puritan days when "the Office seeks
the man" seem to have gone forever.

$50, and in cities of less than $4,000 pop
.ulation not less than $25.
That rural letter carriers be allowed
an annual leave of absence of not to ex-
coed fifteen days with pay.
That the maximum fee for money Or
der be fixed at 25 instead of 30 cents
That the interstate commerce law be
amended to prohibit common carriers,
to-wit, telegraph and express companies,
or any of their employees, from aiding
and abetting in the green-goods or lot
terry swindles, or any other scheme car
ried on partly by mail and partly by
common carrier and which is in viola
ton of the postal laws.
That the department be authorized to
adopt system Of postal checks.
That a statute be enacted authorizing
the removing and dispatching of certain
classes of mail matter without the ne
cessity of affixing postage stamps to in
'dividual pieces.
That an act be passed comforting upon
the department specific authority to in
troduce a system of reply postal cards
and envelopes.

WE ARE creatures of selfishness. We
claim we would be pleased with just tax
alton, but if we get it how woefull we
moan, or if we can shift portion of the
burden off upon our neighbor what an
inward chuckle there is liable to be-.
Under equal taxation all counties in the
state ought to be paying a like proper
tion of the school tax; but by recent con-
flicting resolutions from county boards
we find there is great dissatisfaction at
the inequalities. Green county for in
stance has petitioned for change in the
one mill tax because Green county pays
into the treasurey great deal more than
she draws out. st. Croix county petit
tons to have the law stand because she
draws out a good deal more than she
pays in. This is quite like the whole
morality of taxation.-Hudson Star

FRIDAY, DECEMBER u, 1902.

The Wisconsin commission on the ST..
Louis fair are preparing to ask the legis-
lature for large appropriation at the
coming session. The $4,000 given the
commission two years ago will all be
needed for state building and expenses
of the commission so if the state wishes
to be properly represented at the expo
sition or keep pace with our neighbor
ing states, the legislature should vote at
least $4,000 more.

NOT AN ENvIOUS JOB.
Life of the Rural Carrier Carries Some
HardShipS

HardSh1pS.
The life of the rural free delivery mail
carriers is strenuous one in these cold
DAYS of winter. Thev must be out every
day, no matter what the weather, for
Uncle Sam is not lenient taskmaster
and must set out upon their rounds at s
or $50 in the morning. Many of them
have over score of miles to drive and
consequently. welcome the snow, which
permits the the use of runners, even
though it brings greater severity of
weather However, the government is
not entirely forgetful of it's servants, for
the patrons of the delivery system have
certain requirements which they must
meet. They must place their boxes so
that carriers are not obliged to alight to
deliver or collect mail. They must also
shovel the snow away, if necessary, in
front of their 3oxes. Then, too, any old
kind of box will not do. There are
fourteen approved styles of mail boxes
for the rural mail delivery, some one
Kind of which must be- used. Should
the farmers choose not to meet these re-
quirements, they cannot get the service,
for the governments orders to the car
riers are peremptory, and they are told
that they "shall not" deliver or collect
mail where the obligations are disre
garded. Should one farmer wish to send
letter to another farmer down the line
he may give it to the carrier, who will
cancel the stamp and deliver it. The
carrier is, in fact, a circulating postoffice
as he also has stamps and postal cards to
SELL His only opportunity for little
revenue, aside from his salary is given
him in this sale of stamps. He if given
a prescribed margin of profit by the
government on al stamped envelopes
sold.

THE Christmas season is now near at
hand and nearly every one will remem-
Der some distant friend with present
of some kind. Every year considerable
of the Christmas presents are lost owing
to the careless manner in which these
packages are done up. Be careful so as
to wrap your Christmas presents up
we'll, use strong Irvine and address them
plainly Better still will be to register
such packages. The additional cost is
only eight cents, and surely package
that is worth sending away is worth that
trifing additional expense. The mail
carriers will register them for you. Also
send your presents early. During the
holiday rush the mails are crowded, and
in many instances delayed.

DON'T FAIL
TO ATTEND THE
Carnival
AND Parade! !!
at OPELOUSAS,
On March 10th, 1902.
Grand Carnival and Parade,

The Carnival and Parade on the
occasion of St. Joseph's Day last
year was perhaps the grandest
affair ever held in a town the size
of Opelousas in Louisiana. 1t was
the talk Of the visitors from ad-
joining parishes for months, and
now that the tidings that the fes-
tivities will be repeated this year
has gone forth, there is joy in the
land, and Opelousas may prepare
for large crowd on that day.
Those in charge Of the affair
have announced that, with charac-
teristic liberality, the people of
Opelousas have subscribed enough
money to make it even q grander
success than last year. The floats
will be on more elaborate order,
and experts in that line will be
gotten here to suggest and aid in
their construction. Work on some
OF them has already began.
The committee in charge, ap-
pointed by the citizens of the town,
is composed OF Aaron Jacobs, Ma
SON Mcbride, and James L. Co
meau, and who can doubt that the
affair will be success with these
hustling fellows at the helm?
THE coIors will be the same as
last year-red, gold and purple.
Excursions will be run from all
points in the State, and all busi-
ness houses in the town will be
closed on that day.
President Breaux, Of the School
Board, has issued the following
proclamation:
Opelousas, La, Feb. 2S, 1902.
In order that the teachers and
children of the parish may enjoy
the joyous and instructive festivi-
ties on the occasion of the celebra-
tion of st. Joseph's Day, to be held
In OpeIousas, the public schools
throughout the Parish OF st.
Landry, are hereby ordered closed
for the day of Wednesday, March
10. 1902. RAYMOND BREAUx.
President.
Let us all go into it with the de-
termination to make it one OF the
grandest affairs in tho history of
the parish.

bell rang, and many belated eiti-
zens came in later.
Tke ticket nominated was: J.
w. Lewis, Ell. d. Larcade, Arthur

NIT, and for everything that is
modern, up-to-date.
