Factions.

Yesterdays Milwaukee Sentinel uses
one-fourth of its editorial space explain
ing how the democratic party is to be
united, and Bryan shelved at the forth
coming harmony banquet in New York.
And it is to be done by Grover Cleve-
land, too. But another one-quarter of
lie same editorial space is occupied by
another article explaining how it is that
the democratic party is without lead
err, or policy, or anything upon which
il can unite. This sort of service TO its
party and its readers is pleasanter than
it would be to attempt any calculation
of the turmoil within its own party;
and why it is that the ghost of Hanna
stin continues to haunt the rough rider.
The Hams boomers have recently
struck it rich. They found a sort of
nuncupative will of the late President
Mckinley in which the latter, only three
days before his death, declared to a
prominent republican politician that
he, Mckinley, was ia favor of Hanna
for the next president, and would in
augurate the Hanna boom himself.
True, there is, in one sense, a want of
harmony in the democratic party. But
if few men who took themselves out
of the party during the last two cam
paigus, aud who were instrumental IN
persuading hundreds of thousands of
good democrats to vote the republican
ticket would stay out now, there would
be no lack of harmony IN our party.
We could name fifty men in the United
States who are creating all this appar-
ent turmoil in our party. Not SO with
the disruption in the republican party.
Its chief supporters-thousaudso q. them,
men of great wealth, are bound Ia have
Hanna, or some one with Hanna's
political views. Every day this grows
more apparent. And while it looked a
few days ago as if the Hanna boom had
SuoSiueu, IL mas uiphtu OUT Wui 80 tudu
ever now. But this subject Is not as
pleasant for republican editor as il is
to write about Tammany and Wall
street harmony banquets.
The difference between the republi-
can aud democratic factionalism is
about this: The republican faction
opposed to the present administration
is its main stay and support, without
which it could not have won either of
the last two campaigns The demo-
cratic faction is an Insignificant frae-
ton of the party, when compared

K,p1ine and the Bu. owner.

After leaving Vermont Rudyard Kip
ling bought a place in the little Eng
lish village of Nottingham, and in his
garden were some beautiful trees. One
Of these trees, branching over the
road, threatened daily injury to the
driver of the local bus Therefore he
and his conductor waged destructive
war on all the vulnerable twigs within
reach from the bus roof. Result: A
vigorous letter of complaint from Mr..
Kipling to the bus owner, who is also
landlord of one of the local inns.
That evening the landlord laid the
letter before the select mpany of the
bar parlor. They advis, d an attitude
of calm Indifference. Also a Cresus
among them offered $3.50 in cash for
the autograph letter. Both advice and
cash were accepted.
The nuisance continuing, in due
course a second and stronger letter
followed the first. The landlord con-
vened another bar parliament, and the
second letter also found a buyer this
time at 50, as befitted its increased
violence. And Boniface again "sat

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The banquet given by the Training
school last Wednesday evening was a
marked success, both as social
gathering and as an instructive meet
ing. A large number Of graduates were
present and many interesting exper-
fences of school work were given by
them.
First the Literary society of the
school rendered very interesting pro-
gramme, consisting of dialogues
declarations, tableaux, and music.
After the literary program was com
pleted, refreshments were served in a
very tasty manner.
Short talks were given By Senator A
l.. Kreutzer, Mrs. Kreutzer, O. F.
Wells, Miss Bohrer, MIR and Mrs. G H
Froeming and Erwin Marchetti

with the six and half million votes
cast for Bryan.
The difference between the attitude
of the two parties toward their respec-
tive factions is, that the republican
party can't possibly get along without
its factions support, while the demo
cratic party has been using all its
efforts to get rid of its factionalists, and
give them to the republicans, as it does
not consider them to be of any value,
but on the contrary nuisance and
detSiment to the party.

TUESDAY DEC. 80, 1908.
Published weekly aud entered at the Post Ohio
at Wausau as second class matter.
The Year 1908.

The year 1903 is fast drawing to a
close and on Thursday night at Y
o'clock, old Father Time will step
down and out to give cupid, 1904, a
chance to see what he can do. The
past year has been a very prosper
Gus one for the city of Wausau and
we doubt if there was ever one of
more progress in business and in the
upbuilding of the city. Many new
and costly homes have been erected,
and business blocks and several new
institutions have been added. True,
our new post Office has not been
started as yet, but as large bodies
move slowly, so our government does
not proceed quickly, unless it is to
prevent canal from getting away
from it, then it is streak OF light
ming. However the site is paid Tor
and we are told the plans are drawn
and work will be commenced now in
a few months.
The winter has opened very
auspiciously and there is every indica-
ton that saw mills throughout the
country will have the best season
ever known; the prospects for the
coming year are very bright, and it is
thought that 1904 will be the ban
ner building year for Wausau. The
steady influx of population; the
rapidity with which our farming
lands are being taken up; the large
number of mammoth enterprises IL
which our citizens are becoming in
terested, Indicate a tremendous
growth in our city and in few years
the PILOT confidently expects tc
see Wausau the second city in the
state.
The years are gliding by only toe
swiftly to accomplish all that we de
sire, so the moves on the checker
board of time must be made quickly
else it will be everlastingly too late
and we be crowded out of the king
row. Wausau business men have
always pulled together, but a resolve
for a grand effort to make 1904 the
banner year, will bring success
Once more we set our faces to the fu
ture and grid ourselves for the con
lflict with life's struggles, and HOPE
for happy new year. Let US maxi
it happy, anyhow, it really depend
upon ourselves.
A happy New Year is what tn
PILoT wishes its many readers.

Growers Mantle.

There were, we do not doubt, a coed
who, like ourselves, regarded the name
of Judge Parker of New York in
tentative way, until they could learn
something about him. He had never
been ''in the public eye" But there is
many a good man, and true, whose
lame does not extend beyond his own
state. Parker might be just the man
We would wait and find out.
We need not wait longer Judge
Parker is the STUFFED prophet" come
to earth again. He is the second politi-
cal Elijah" of Wall street. And he is
to be formally launched as a presiden-
tial aspirant, at a meeting of New
Workers, at which MIR. Cleveland will
be present, and make a speech.
Give us Cleveland, as democratic
candidate and Hanna as a republican
candidate" was, until recently, the
modest demand of Wall street
Grover is pretty pachydetmous. He
had posed as presidential .aspirant for
almost year before it dawned upon
his egotism that the divers and sundry
vigorous kicks administered by leading
| democrats of the South and West, were
| hints of what the democracy would do
to him if it ever got another chance.
But he took the hint at last, and, with
bombastic flourish, declined an effort
that could offer nothing but shameful
defeat in the convention.
Roosevelt had the republican nomi-
nation so well fixed for himself that
Hanna could see no opportunity to get it..
So he, though he does not like Rocsl-
welt any too well, declined entering a
race in which he was pretty sure to lose.
But WaH street is not to be denied a
candidate. 1t will have Judge Parker.
Upon him the mantle of the Stuffed
prophet is to fall, by the grace of
Grover and The New York Sun, ct al
If Cleveland's ego cism was not so
enormous, he would know that the
sure way to deprive Judge Parker of
any chance, which his cb-9urity may
have given him, is to announce that Mr.
Cleveland is sponsor for the democ-
racy, and the aspirations of Judge Par
kerr The democracy of the United
States will not have Cleveland nor will
they have any man whom Cleveland
favors, for the favor of Cleveland is a
who favors trusts and does not sym.
pathize with the common people.
New York may have plenty of repub-
lican presidential timber, but she can
not give the democrats candidate, I'M
less he comes to us with the avowed dis
approval of Wall street,-as does Mr.
Hearst.
Wall street. knowing Mr.. Cleveland
wanted him, and failing in that, it now
wants Judge Parker because it knows
him, and therefore the democratic party
does not want him.

not want him, and therefore the demo

An old peasant, Georges GAIA by

fell, and the relatives and friends were
watching in the house Of mourning
next to the room In which the corpse
lay, when close upon midnight the door
of the room opened. and those assem-
bled were struck with fright at seeing
the supposed dead man walk in.
For a moment panic reigned, but ae
at last sue eeeded in calming them aud
proving that he had miraculously come
to life again.
While they were all sitting talking
his wife returned from a neigbbOr's
house. and so great was the shock al
seeing her husband that she fell dead
at his feet
The tragedy Of the affair is intensi-
fed by the fact that the preparations
made for him served for her.
