The question for the people to
settle i'll the next state conven-
ton is whether they want the
one-man power or not. They
have seen enough of Robt. La
Toilette to know that he brooks
no equals and accepts no consul,
but wants to be absolute dicta-
tor. First, over the convention,
as to what kind of a platform it
should adopt; and, second, over
the legislature, as to what it
shall do or leave undone. ANY
opposition to his will to be pun
ished by party ostracism. Are
the people ready to surrender all
their political rights to one man?

HON. w. e. BROWN.

The Washington correspond
ent to the Milwaukee Journal
has the following to say in re-
gard TO Hon. w. E. Brown, mem
Der of Congress from this dis
trict:
Representative Brown has
been doing some good work in
committee on the bill providing
for the sale of the pine on the
four Chippewa Indian reserva-
tons IN northern Minnesota. He
has secured some valuable pro-
visions in the bill, the most inn
portant being that notice shall
be given, for six months, before
a sale shall take place. This will
give an opportunity for other
lumbermen than those in Mime
ap0lis to look over the timber
and bid on it. The result will, it
is believed, be that there will be
more competition"
The Congressional committee
on Indian affairs, of which M.
Brown is a member, has in charge
all bills relating to timber lands
on the Indian Reservations. Mr..
Browns long and successful ex-
perience as a lumberman espec-
tally fits him for valuable work
on this committee. IF such men
as Mr.. Brown had charge of this
class of legislation in The past,
Poor Lo would be better off, f.
nancially.

When Robert M. La Toilette
took his seat as governor OF this
state backed with over one hun
bred thousand majority, he had
it in his power to thoroughly
harmonic the republican party.
If he had been content to attend
strictly to his executive duties
and had not tried to influence
legislation in any manner, but
had left the responsibility of pass
ing or rejecting the primary cleo
ton bill and the tax measures
where it belonged, with the leg
islature, the present split in the
Republican party would have
been avoided. But he was not
satisfied with being governor
He wanted to be the Legislature
as we'll and such men as White
head, Jones, Ray, Williams and
others naturally resented this
and the present division in the
party is the result.-Eagle River
Review.

No man who has filled the gov
ernor's chair IN recent years, has
had the opportunity TO make a
big man of himself than Gov. "a
Toilette has, but hecouldn't wait
for the common people to recog-
nize his ability, he was afraid
they wouldn't find it out, so he
tried to impress it on their minds
before he had fairly warmed the
gubernatorial seat, and he made
such firm impression that they
have concluded that he wants to
be the whole thing, and when the
masses have once grasped such an
idea concerning a man whom they
have helped to elevate into office,
they lose confidence in him, and
that settles it. They prefer to
have a little to say in matters
which directly concern their own
interes ts-Merrlll Star.

Northern Wisconsin Development.


That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies the northern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitapt land prices.
1t is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, good roads
and other improvements are go
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari. kaolin and CLAW
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity TO the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.

Is there anyone who knows
what Governor La Toilette wants
to- do in the matter of taxation?
re has talked glibly enough on
the Subject; but has never said
anything that d,wells in memory

WASHINGTON, D, c.. Aug. 1.-The
figures recently presented showing
how the claims for pensions for vol
unteer soldiers OF the Spanish war far
outnumber those filed by regulars, and
also that those regiments which saw
little or no fighting far exceed in their
claims those which met actual service
and lost some of their comrades In
killed and wounded. have been
brought TO the attention of Pension
Commissioner Ware, In whose bureau
they were compiled He is described
as astounded. and as Saying that the
figures are far more striking than he
had imagined.

into the records Of other regiments
said Colonel Ware, Il shall be at a
loss to explain the great number of
applications. 1t is, of course, possi-
BILE that when these volunteer regi-
ments returned from Cuba the men
were suffering from the effects OF a
tropical climate, and felt that their
health was permanently impaired.
Claims were doubtless filed on this
supposition by men who have since
recovered their health completely"

Southern regiments have been much
less active than Northern and East
ern regiments in their efforts to get
pensions. The Kentuckians have
filed many claims. but the Texans and
other Southern states further off have
thought less about seeking federal aid.
The returned Californians and those
from the Territories have made rela-
lively few applications. But the Sth

with 1880 members. is responsible for
705 pension claims on the part of sur
