GOVERNOR LAFOLLETTE has
been saying some very sensation
al things in his addresses about
the state during the past week
or two. He has been charging
that some of the legislators at
Madison were corrupt and had
received brides for the defeat of
certain measures. The Govern
or should be more explicit, and
if he knows what he says to be
true should see to it that bride
takers are punished. AS Gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin
he should not allow such things
to exist But it would strike
one as more probable that
all the talk of the Governors is
mere gossip. There has not
been a legislature in the past
fifty years but what some mem
Der has been looked upon as a
CRATER, and at every session
bills have been introduced for
no other purpose than to "shake
down" some one, or some inter
ests. But while people may
lave supposed these things to
be true, and while these charges
have been popularity entertained
against even champions of the
Governors measures, still they
could not be proven and might
-aot have been any more true than
some of the sensational things
that the Governor is now saying.
The Governor is merely yielding
to his very old desire to say
som ething red-hot.

THERE seems to be no ques-
ton but what Panama is deter
mined not to accede to the de
sires of the United States in the
matter of building the canal and
the ratification of the treaty be-
tween the two governments. A
few months ago it was looked
upon as almost a foregone con-
clusion that within a short time
the shovelers would be ut work
on the bitches, but complications
seem always to multiply in con-
nection with the project, and the
enterprise which has for so
many years thwarted the engin-
GERS and puzzled the statesmen
of the world, seems to again be
effectually in the air.
