Third Term Talk For Cleveland.

A certain class of newspapers that
persist in calling themselves demo
cratic, when in reality they are too mo-
nopolistic and undemocratic to even be-
long to the republican party, are talk
ing about the advisability Of the dem
ocrats nominating Cleveland for third
term next year.
These Cleveland supporters have no
use for Roosevelt because, as they open
ly contend, he is carrying into effect the
principles of the Kansas City platform,
and doing the work more effectively
they say than Mr.. Bryan could if he had
been elected.
The New York Sun said not long
ago that "Mr. Roosevelt absorbed and
sequestered every vestage of the Kan
sas City platform that had shred of
practical value" and then offered the
proof to support its assertion. The
= Suns article was seized upon by the
Cleveland faction and used as text
from which to lecture the President for
his populistic tendencies.
They show how Bryan could not, by
the free coinage of silver, have in
creased the circulating medium as it
has been increased by the manipula-
tions of republican managers.
They ask what has become of govern
ment by injunction" under the Roose-
welt administration and what Mr..
Bryan could have done that has not
Nbeen done by Mr.. Roosevelt to make
life miserable for the trusts? Why?
they even go so far as to assert that
Roosevelt is the leader of the labor
unions, and is trying to "put them
above the law and the constitution"

In 1896 the Palmer and Buckner
ticket, the one supported by and which
represented Mr.. Cleveland's latter day
principles, did not carry but one voting

WHO WILL BE ARCHBISHOP?

Catholic Citizen Says Bishop horstu'anD Of
Cleveland is Prominently Mentioned
News from Rome states that the
successor to Archbishop Katzer will
not be appointed until November. The
appointment is made by the Pope, on
recommendation of the congregation
of the propag anda, and at present the
cardinals composing the latter body
are away from Rome on their autumn
vacation.
Bishop Messmer and Vicar General
Schinner continue to be most promi-
nently spoken of, although feeling is
beginning to prevail that an outsider
may be appointed, says the Catholic
Citizen. The name of Bishop Horst
mann of Cleveland is being prominent-
" mentioned. He is said to find favor
with a number of the Archbishops,
whose voice will have great weight in
the matter. Bishop Horstmann was
born in Philadelphia and is of German
parentage. He is 63 years Of age and
has been bishop of Cleveland eleven
years. He is highly spoken Of as
progressive and able prelate, whose
appointment would meet with favor.
The name of Bishop Richter Of Grand
Ra pids is also mentioned, but he is not
regarded as liable to receive the ap-
pointment.
A new element has entered into the
problem-that of the Polish Catholics.
They have recently petitioned Rome
for representative IN the episcopate,
and some believe that their request
may be granted and an archbishop of
Polish nationality appointed for Mil
waukee. 1t is hardly thought, though,
that Rome would signify its acquies-
ence in the Polish claim by selecting
the important archiepiscopa1 see Of
Milwaukee for the first Polish prelate.
If Bishop Messmer should be appoint
ed TO Milwaukee it is improbable that
Green Bay may have the first Polish
bishop.

.BR|NSLEY LOSES OUT
Court Holds That There Was Probable
Cause For Action Against the
Former Clerk Of WOodmen.
WIFE MAKES SCENE IN COURT.
Declares In Presence of Court That 1T is
Impossible to Get Justice in This
Country

Alfred y. Brinsley failed to recover
damages from Ell. C. Schultz and ]. 5.
New berry for his arrest on the charge
of embezzlement in 1898 for the suit
for damages was terminated in the cir
cult court Thursday afternoon when
the Judge took the case IN his hands
and ordered the jury to find verdict
for the defendants. AS the case was
decided Mrs. Brinsley, the wife Of the
plaintiff in the action, created scene
in the court room. She had been sit
ting quietly in the rear OF the court
room waiting the outcome of the case
and when the court ordered the jury
to fnd for the defendants ia the
action she hurried to the front OF the
court room. The jury was fling out
and the Judge was talking with the
clerk in regard to the entry Of the
order in the case when Mrs. Brinsley
shouted in loud voice, "No one can
get Justice in this country" Judge
Williams looked at the speaker for a
moment but he took no official action
in regard to the action of Mrs. Brins-
ley and the attorneys for her husband
managed to prevent further outbreak.
Attorney ingalls,, who represented
Brinsley in the action, made motion
for new trial but the court failed to
rule on the motion and the argument
will be taken up later in the term. In
taking the case into his own hands
and ordering a verdict for the defend
ants in the case Judge Williams held
that the evidence showed that there
was probably cause for the arrest of
Brinsley and that theevidence had not
shown sufficient malice on the part Of
the defendants to furnish cause of
action for false arrest. He held that
the two defendants had acted under
the advice of counsel and that they
could not be held liable for their &C
tons.
The decision of the court will proba
bly, be the end of the case as there is
no desire on the part of the defendants
or Of any members of the lodge to
bring any further action against
Brinsley of criminal nature although
the attorneys hold that he could still
be arrested on the technical charge of
EN- bezzlement.
The case has attracted the attention
of the court for more than three days
and the entire evidence in regard to
the alleged populations of Brins1ey
have been made public. The attorneys
who represent the defendants in the
action declare that the evidence shown
at the trial was sufficient to send the
case to the jury on a criminal charge.

Old Chicago Base Ball Player to Take
Charge OF Kenosha Base Ball
Team Next Season.
LEAGUE AFFILIATIONS UNDECIDED.
Kenosha Team May Not be Member of any
of the Leagues Now Forming. -Pfeffer
to Have An All Star Team.

There will be decided change in
base ball in Kenosha next season as
Manager Edward Alleman, the owner
of the Kenosha team, announced
Thursday that he would retire from
the management of the team at the
close Of the present season. Manager
Alleman had charge of the team for the
past three seasons and he finds that it
IS impossible for him to give up the
time needed to make the team sue
cessfnl one. Mr.. A1leman is in charge
of one Of the important departments
at the Simmons factory and while he
is the most enthusiastic base ball sup
porter in the city his time is needed
for his work and to this end he has de-
cided to leave the management Of the
base ball team to others.
In order to secure the future of the
team Mr.. Alleman has managed to Sc
cure the services of Fred Pfeffer, the
famous Chicago player, and Pfefer
will be the manager Of the KeIosha
team during the season of 1904. The
new manager is one of the idols Of the
base ball world and few men are better
known to the followers of the national
game during the last ten or twelve
years. Fred Pfeffer is probably the
most renowned second baseman that
ever lived and he has been mem Der
of more pennant winning teams than
any other man in the country. Pfeffer
was the second taseman of the famous
stone wall in6eld of the Chicago team
when that team took the National
league pennant and while the great
player is now back number he is still
a man Of great influence in the base
ball world. During the season Of 1902
Mr.. Pfeffer managed the Decatur team
of the Three I league and the team
f1ourished under his management.
During the season just closed Mr..
Pfeffer has been in charge of the
Aurora team of the Interstate league
and his coaching has been of great
benefit to the team. Pfeffer will re-
move to Kenosha within few days
and will make his home here in the
future.
So far it is not known what afilia-
tons Of league nature will be allotted
to Kenosha for next season. Efforts
are being made to re-organize the
Interstate league on paying basis
and the Kenosha team will also be
asked to take one of the franchises in
a state league to be formed during the
winter. Either of these leagues would
furnish plenty of interesting games for
the coming season but the Kenosha
team can remain independent of the
leagues and secure plenty Of games.
Captain Peter Breen, who has been
field manager. Of the team during the
past season, will probably be in the
same position next year. ssPfefer will
not be able to play with any team and
he will proba bly, give his entire time
to the management of the team.
With the new management in charge
the Kenosha team will be able to se-'
cure the best amateur players in the
business and Pfeffer seems certain that
he will have winning team in Keno

JUDGES VIOLATE THE Law.
Profit Under the Law Regulating Child
Labor,

Profit Under the Law Regulating Child
State Factory Inspector August c..
Backus yesterday received evidence of
violation of the spirit of the new child
labor law by no less important offend
ers than three county judges, one in
the Northern part of the state and two
in the central part. Mr.. Backus refus-
ed to give out the names yesterday,
saying that he preferred to keep them
secret unless there were similar pro-
ceedings in the future.
The three county judges concerned
have been charging $1.5O each for is
suing permits to children of poor peo-
pie to work in factories under the new
law.
"This is a direct violation of the
spirit Of the law said Mr.. Backus
"and an outrage as we'll. When the
new Law was passed the Legislature in
tended to arrange matters SO that poor
people could obtain permits without
cost. The fact that justices Of the
peace had been charging poor parents
Is cents for affidavits was one of the
causes which led up to the passage of
the new law. And to think that coun-
ty judges are charging six times what
the Legislature hoped to escape is GER
tainly surprising.
mot all Judges are Of this stamp,
however. Many of them are giving us
the greatest possible assistance in en-
forcing the new law, some of them
even paying their railroad fare to come
here and confer with me, that they
might have clearer understanding Of
the measure.
IF all county judges would follow
the policy of the three offenders, it can
be readily seen what the fees would
amount to when it is known that in
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha we
have issued 5000 permits.
sThe three county judges in ques-
ton have been warned ia no uncertain
.rms.''-
