The Other Fellows.

GAINESVILLE Gazette: There appears
to be something very fascinating about
the office of oil inspector. Oil is alub-
ricator as we'll as an illumination to a
state official: it not only lights up his
c~ountenance with a genial smile, but
it limbers up his joints and his tongue
so that it travels with ease and talks
like a parrot. This is the way it af-
fected editor Goldsmith, of Boscobel.
Wausau Record: A deputy game
warden is a half-breed who draws a
salary of $500 per month and at least
S75. 90 per month for expenses from the
state for tracking eleventh flour ennis
saries through ~half-breed territory and
scaling stalwart trespass. Qf he does
not know how to scale the trespass he
is instructed by the state oil inspector
at the expense of the state treasury.
Alma Centre News: No compromise
is the answer Gov. LaFollette gave out
| through a confidential advisor, in re-
ply to a telegram from Washington to
| the effect that ex-Gov. Hoard and other
| gentlemen wanted to call a mass meet
ing and endorse both LaFollette and
Spooner. The governor burned the
bridge behind him and proposes to
| fight it out with Spooner and his
friends. It is now for the people to
say which is their choice, and whether
they prefer LaFollette for governor
with a senator of his choice, or John
| G. Spooner for senator and a governor
! of their own choice.
Dodgeville Republic: Some of these
SpoOner LaFollette papers, who be-
lieve it is possible to elect both the
senator and the governor, should ask
some of the members Of the legislature
| how the Spooner proposition was re-
ceived by the LaFollette member. Ask
Overlook, the chief lieutenant of La
Toilette, what he thinks about it. Ask
Mills, the oil inspector. Ask John
Strange who is one of LaFollette's chief
lieutenants. Ask Stephenson who is
reported to be furnishing the sinews of
politics of the reform kind. 1t will
not be necessary to asksthe chief him
self. for his attitude is we'll known and
could not be forced to support Spoon
er because he feared the loss OF power
himself.

movement of the fish which gives
ground for the belief that this devil

This monster, swimming tail fore

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

On the 14th of December last oc-
Cured the 102nd anniversary OF b
death Of Washington. Saturday the
nation celebrates the 169th anniversary
of his birth. And not only does Ameri-
ca hold the day in remembrance, but
in every land, where even the first
glimmerings of enlightenment and free
dom have found their way, are to be
found some who will give r~everential
thought to the anniversary and bless
the day which gave to the American
patriots Of rs so noble a leader, to the
apostles Of republican freedom so
grand a type, and to the world SO mag
nifcent an exemplar of the truest
manhood.
For more than--a hundred years has
the character ~~of Washington been a
favorite study for thousands. Some
have been prompted to this study by
love; some by emulation, desiring to
pattern their own lives on a model SO
universally admired. Some have
sought the secret of his influence over
men-an influence felt alike amid the
stirring scenes Of war, in Legislative
councils and in the quiet walks OF prl-
vate life. Some-using microscopes
whose glasses we're envy, malice and
pessimism-have sought to throw up
on the screen Of alleged biography pic
lures which would lesson the worlds
reverence by showing our hero to be
not wholly faultless, but actually hui
man like ourselves-as if that would
have any effect other than to make
him yet more dear to us. And others
still, while admitting his virtue, brav-
cry and common sense, would fain
make us believe that these did not lift
his character above the commonplace,
and that Washington's prominence in
tn early history of our country was
j. ~ a matter of accident. These
pc rs would have us believe that,
not TO Washington, but to his 'mili-
tary family" and particularly to the
brilliant Hamilton-his confidential
aid-de-camp in war aud his trusted
counselor in the first presidential cabi-
net-were to be attributed the success
es of the "Father of his Country"
both military and administrative.
Dust so, by the way, the detractors of
Gen. Grant have been wont to make
his adjutant general, Rawlins, the
originator and hero of Grants success
sive triumphs.9
But like. all true metal, the charact-
er Of Washington, "the more it is rub
bed the brighter it shines" Had
there been a suspicion of plating"
anywhere, surely the attrition Of a
hundred years would have revealed the
inferior metal below. But there is
nothing dazzling, nothing iridescent in
the glow. The dazzling and iridescent
in human character has ever been &C
companied by weakness, ~seltishness,
corruption. We are dazzled by the
career Of a Napoleon, a Bismarck, an
Alexander; we are charmed by the iri-
descent life of a Disraeli, a Richelieu,
a Marcus Aurelius. But from the
character of Washington there pours
forth a soft, steady, penetrating radi-
ance such as one woul ascribe to the
lamp Of Truth itself q lamp which
warns wherever it penetrates, and in
which it seems a marvel that a selfish,
ignoble citizenship should live.
The birthdays of Washington and
Lincoln coming SO close together, it is
inevitable hat annually comparisons
should be provoked and the question

Some Points CT Platform.
The platform, in part, calls for
fteadfast fidelity to American princi-
pies, for the lack of which it arraigns
the Republican party; demands the
return to the principles OF Thomas
Jefferson to stop decentralization Of
the country; opposes trusts that in
juriously affect consumer and en-
ployer and drive out small manufa.,-
turers, and especially condemns the
so-called beef and coal trusts for "un-
reasonably depriving people of the
necessities of life
Restriction of the amaseing of
wealth is advocated and the amend
ment of the tariff law by placing the
necessities of life on the free list is
demanded. The Dingley tariff law is
condemned as whole. The president
is criticized for dilitary conduct, and
is accused of not wanting to offend
the trusts.
Wants Anthracite Property Seized.
The platform asserts that the prop
osition to amend the United States
constitution to enable the federal gov
eminent to proceed against the trusts
is mere subterfuge to get delay;
condemns the neglect Of the national
and state administrations to enforce
the Sherman law and the Donnelly
state law; favors trade expansion, but
objects to this country "apeing Eng
land in trying to establish a colonial
government" Condemns the action
of the government in its treatment
of the Philippines; demands justice
for Cuba in the matter of trade by
reducing the tariff to a strictly reve-
nue. basis; demands public ownership
Of the anthracite coal mines by the
right OF eminent domain and the pay
ment Of full damages to owners, so
as to insure peace in the mining re-
gions and relieve the country; ar
raigns the state administration for
extravaganza in the administering Of
state affairs; sympathizes with the
Jews in Roumania; favoTs the cleo
ton Of United States senators by di-
rect vote, and condemns the national
administration for trading judicial
positions for state aid"
