WHITEHEAD APOLOGIES.

Senator Whitehead has cuntribu-
ted to the Milwaukee Sentinel the
first instalment of series of letters
designed to justify the action of
those republican Legislators that re-
fused to abide by the primary cleo
ton law pledge Of the republican
state platform. The Senator, in his
letter, begilIs, as the Milwaukee
News reads ii, an apology and de-
Tense for what, as IL legislator, he has
failed to do.
Senator Whitehead should know
that tho voters are vastly more inter
ested in what he proposes to do
should he be elected governor, than
they are in what he failed to do as Il
member Of the legislature. They
know that he opposed the primary
election measure, and they are also
aware that he did not distinguish
himself by pressing the tax bills sub
mitted to the legislature by the state
tax commission. Why he did not
make a better record is of Importance
at this time only to the extent that
it may Indicate his attitude, should
lie be elected governor OF the state.
1t is more important TO know what
Whitehead can promise for the flu
ture What sort Of Il primary cleo
ton bill would he recommend to the
Legislature, were be governor? What
measure of Increased taxation Of
public service corporations would he
favor, We're he in Governor LuFoll-
cites place?
Apologies for past errors may be
accepted. Mr.. Whitehead, but where
are you att now relative to the ques-
tions ut issue? That's what needs
positive declaration.

su,TAslE AND DESERVED DONOR

The appointment of Gen. Edward
>. Bragg to be consul general at
Havana is alike honorable to himself
and the national administration
Havana is the second best consulate.
in the gift Of the government, that Of
London being the first. The fees con-
nected with the consulate at Havana
make it particularly lucrative. The
appointment is surprise to Gen.
Bragg, and therefore conferred with
out solicitation.
Gen. Bragg is as true an American
as ever trod the soil of the state. His
past career proves that he is saga
cious, patriotic and capable, and we
have no doubt he will prove very
serviceable to our country in the
changed relations of Cuba towards
the United States.

SPooNER'S FALSE FRIENDS.

Ex-Governor Hoard agrees with
The Tribune, as to who are Spooner's
most dangerous enemies. In Jeiler-
SON County Union GOV. Hoard says:
The so-called stalwart press start
ing with the Milwaukee Sentinel
have been bowling themselves hoarse
trying to make the people believe
that Governor LaFollette and his
friends were plotting to defeat Sen
ator Spoouer's return to the Senate.
A more tlatulent, siller humbug new
er occupied the attention of the
people previous to Pflster's purchase
of the Sentinel. Now anything can
be expected.
But zone folly begets another
says the Hiudoo proverb, and away
goes Messrs. Ptlster, Phillips, ct nj, to
Washington to convince Senator
Gpooner that he must act as silly as
the stalwarts have if he expects to
merit and receive their support.
What lot of humbug politicians
they are. Not an act or word of Gov.
LaFolletto can these stalwarts adj
duce that will convince the people
that he is fighting senator Spooner.
The great majority o. Gov. La Fol
iette's friends and hackers are warm
ly ia fGovr Of the Senator succeed
ing himself, and the Union is one of
them. The real object of the tax
lodging, corporation serving stall
warts, is not to return Spooner to
the Senate: What they are after is
TO defeat LaFollette 1t was for that
purpose that certain corporations
put their money into the eleventh
story League. 1t was for that pur-
pose that Bissell, Starkey and all of
the old lobby ring who have for
years made merchandise OF the Re-

CLASS ASSESSMENTS ILLEGAL.

The State Tax commission has
served notice on Supervisors of AS
sessment that property must not be
assessed by having II fixed value for
different classes. This action is tax
en- on information that in one coun-
ty the supervisors called IA meeting
of the assessors and "A committee was
appointed to fix scale of taxation
on personal property. The commit
tee reported as follows; Horses 3
year old and over $75; 2 years and
over $50; year and over, $50; cows,
$50, 10 and $40; hogs, SO to 50; sheep,
So; buggies and wagons, $50; hearses
500; pianos, 800; organs, $25.
In speaking about the matter,
Judge ellison president of the tax
commission said: "The desire of
assessors to adopt IA scale of values
has been frequently manifested in
times past as an easy and slip-shod
method of doing their work, and pos
sibly the tendency to value property
by resolution instead of under the
law, may require some time to eradi-
cate.
"VhaIa'~ eoutcmpla;es that all ar-
ticles of personal property in each
assessment district shall be valued
by the assessor from actual view.
"The provisions Of law are framed
upon the theory that each article of
personal property aud each parcel of
real estate differs from each other in
value SO far as TO prevent their being
sorted into classes to any consider
able extent for purposes OF assess
ment, The law coutemplates that
each item or parcel must be seperate-
ly valued with reference TO its own
peculiar conditions and characters
tics SO far as its value is affected

PINCREElsm AND laEolLETTEISM.

Only u few years ago the corpora
tionists and subsidized press OF the
country were occupied in portraying
the appalling dangers of Pingree
ism" Today the same savauts, sail.
ing under the alias of "stalwart," are
busy warning the people against II
similar great danger, LaFollette-
ISM Governor Pingree is dead. "A
little fellow with millions made in
lumber, with brains too few to per-
nit of II headache, and ii confessed
tool OF the corporations that made
Pingree's successor. Therefore the
people Of Michigan are restless, and
the days Of Pingree are looked back
to with longing. The politics of that
state are in deplorably corrupt con-
dition, and the younger element of
the republican party is striving for
better things, Including nominations
by direct vote.
The stalwart hope is to accomplish
in this state by the defeat of LaFol-
lette for denomination, what has re-
suited in Michigan from the defeat
and death of Pingree. If the effort
is successful here as there, and n tool
of the corporations is placed in the
governors chair, the people of Wis
consin will soon be looking back to
the days of LaFollette with longing
as the people of Michigan now look
back TO the days of Pingree.
