THE Council and the citizens of Ke-
nosha are to be congratulated on the
passage of the street railway franchise
ordinance last evening. It is not alone
a cause for generalization that the city
has at last secured the building of a
local line on favorable terms, but also
that question which has been the
bane of the existence of the citizens
and taxpayers for the past nine years,
and which has caused more trouble
and sorrow than any other public
measure that ever came up in the his
tory Of the city, has finally been set
tied. The members of tne Council
have dealt with the question from a
business standpoint and their con-
stituents have every reason to be proud
of their work. After this object lesson
as to what can be accomplished by a
straight business administration of
the city affairs, if, in the future, the
citizens ever again allow the city to
pass into the control of a gang of
cheap politicians who work solely for
their own interests, they will have
only themselves to blame for the re-
suits of their own folly.

Gov. LA TOILETTE has given ex
preston to his feelings towards Sena-
tor Spoouer through the mouth of his
faithful lieutenant, Nels p. Haugen.
The attempts of some of his adherents
to make it appear that La Toilette is
friendly to the Senator fool nobody
unless they themselves believe it. The
st. Croix county convention came
nearer to expressing the Governors
real feeling towards the Senator when
they voted down resolution recon-
mending Spooner's reelection, on the
ground that to endorse Spooner was ga
slur on the State administration

You could have heard pin drop in
the Council chamber last night, and it
wouldn't have had to be coupling
pin either, when Arnold announced
that he could tell the Council why
Alderman Smith did not want to vote
for the franchise. Smith didn't vol
unteer any explanation and none of
the other Aldermen had curiosity
enough to ask Arnold for any further
information, so the matter dropped
right there much to the disappointment
of the audience; and Smith voted aye
good and loud when the time came.
Perhaps the members Of the Council
took a long, hard think and decided
that they could guess near enough
anyway.
