which looks brighter from both
sides than even Christmas, is the
long vacation in the summer time.
Here ia the north where the sum-
mer season is not SO warm as 1T is
farther south, and spring is not so
early it is not quite SO hard to wait
for the holidays but on the other
hand the autumn, the finest time OF
the year, is still to come and much
of the time must be spent in doors.
This year. however, theresis much
to tempt the 1aggards back if any
there are who would rather hold
out while yet. The buildings have
been put in the best of condition,
carefully selected corps of teachers
Will greet the youngs ters on their
return and most of the favorite
teachers of last year will be among
the number.
Not much change will be made in
the work of the schools this year ex-
cept IN the grammer room where
the work in grammar and arithme-
tic has been increased and a more
advanced test in each study been
inserted. The increasing numbers
in both high school and grammar
grades has led to the necessity of
securing another teacher who will
teach classes in each department
which have in the past been heavier
than was consistent with the best
work. The increased attendance in
the upper grades is one Of the most
satisfactory signs of the times.
The teachers have all been heard
from except one and will be on hand
Saturday afternoon to get things in
shape for work the coming week.

THE talk of Uncle Isaac Stept

HE talk OF Uncle Isaac SCopn-
enson for governor, is persistent,
and some of the newspapers that
are advocating the old gentleman
would find themselves in a
strange sort of predicament if
the Marinette statesman should
take seriously to the proposition
and become candidate. Uncle
Isaac served once in Congress,
and has a liberal supply of the
useful with which to make a good
campaign. And added to this it
may be said that in many ways
he would be very strong can Gi-
date. If Mr.. Stephenson should
decide to shy his castor into the
political pool there would be a
strange ducking for cover on the
part of some people who are now
simply talking Stephenson in the
hopes of EN- barassing LaFollette.
G. j. AUGUSTIN, who has for
many years been one of the
strongest newspaper writer's in
northern Wisconsin, has retired
from newspaper work, and will
put in a few years endeavoring
to gather in little coin in place
of unlimitsd glory, and The
TIMES wishes him all kinds of
success in the new venture.
Charley couldn't help letting
loose in his last paper, ripped
things up considerable, giving
his free and unvarnished opinion
regarding politics, woman's
societies, and the like. And
when Charley wants to SAY things
sharp, he knows just how to
"quirk" his pen to do it.
The editor of the Calumet at
Prentice, had the opportunity of
interviewing Senator Tilman,
while the latter was waiting for
a train at Fifield, and the whole
tenor of the report of the confer
ence is manifestation of sur
prise that the senator did not
have horns. But the editor of
the paper secured a very inter
esting article, and has added his
mite towards the advertising of
the greatest fraud of modern
times, Tillman was on a fishing
trip in Price county, and was
the guest of Rublee A. Cole.

Booker Washington says that where
educational tests are applied in the
South educated negroes are generally
denied the right to vote under them,
but that all white men, no matter how
ignorant, can vote. Booker may be as
great as Carnegie painted him, but he
don't know it all. He should come to
Virginia and possibly he wouldn't re-
peat that story for publication again.
We have never heard of Booker ex.
pressing himself as seeing any crime in
a large number of people in the Ha-
waian Islands being deprived of stuff
rage, nor in the Philippine Islands
nor in Porto Rico, notwithstanding
these countries are part and parcel of
the United States. Nor have we heard
him bemOarn the fate of "Lo the Door
Indian Yet he was here long before
BoOker's race set foot upon this soil.
We don't know any very great thing
the negro ever did to entitle him to
this divine right, nor any great suffer
ing he has endured by being denied it,
He certainly votes as often as he really
deserves.

The New Y ork stock market has
dropped very low in it's prosperity
scale. Not long ago two million shares
in one day was not considered unusu-
al, now if quarter of a million shares
are traded in it is all that can be ex-
pected. Evidently Mr.. Roosevelt is
wandering from Mr.. McKinley's ways
or be would not permit this to happen.
All Mr.. Mckinley had to de was to say

was prosperity. We fear prosperity
will miss him sadly.

Gen. Rosser's Boston speech last
week was no worse than many others,
and not half SO distasteful as his letter
to Roosevelt some year or so ago. The
only thing all this seems to prove is
that if the civil war had lasted much
longer, Gen. Rosser would have expe-
rienced that "proudest moment of his
lifen nearly forty years ago.

COMING OUR WAY.

Delaware has at last joined the
Southern States. During the civil war
she held aloof, so did Indiana and Hi.
nois. Now these too have entered the
compact All have lynched negroes,
which of course is proof indisputable
that they are no longer law abiding,
God fearing, God serving common
wealths, but have sunken to that scale
in lawlessness and savagery which has
been the sole stock in trade of the
South, and are therefore a part of it,
We are sorry for all these States which
have been called upon to thus summa.
Tlly deal with those of our fellow citi-
zens who gained their liberty at such
cost of blood and treasure, only to find
Themselves seated at the table with
the President, or roasted at various
barbacues throughout the land. That
a race of people should have been
bought at such price as these were,
would indicate that they are valuable,

cheap as they seem to be in many of
the States, it looks as if too much had
been paid for the whistle. Kansas has
been knocking for some time to get
into the Southern compact, but she
cannot be admitted. She roasted her
negro, it is true, in good old fashioned
Southern style, but her case is hope
less. She gave the country John
Brown, and while his first victim was
Q negro his intentions were to burn and
otherwise destroy white people, SO his
actions bar Kansas, there is no hope
for her. All other States are welcome.
Delaware is received with open arms.
Others are fast coming in. Even Mas
sachusetts so soon as she secures many
negroes as citizens, will present her
burnt Offering and become member. |
All that is required is to have the
negroes and so sure as the sun shines
their immolatiOn will take place. It |
looks ae If there would soon be no
East, NO West, no North-but all
South. !

sEMILE GEN. RossER.

sENILE GEN. R0ssER.
Gen. Thomas L. Rosser has again
displayed a weakness of mind and
character which his friends much re-
gret. He went up to Boston to be
present at the unwilling of a statue to
zen. Joe Hooker last week. The
printed account of the meeting says
that at a monster camp fire in Mechan- |
les Building he was called upon "un'
to speak. He spoke TO
his shame be it said. and be delivered
himself of much buncomb and rot. and
what is worse yet, of sentiments that
no man who possesses any OF the at
tributes of n true Southern soidler
ought ever .to utter. He said i'll part

be wished the South had won is fooi.

when l put on the uniform with the

If poor old Gen. Rosser could see
what a fool he has 10 adr ut hiinsei as
his friends now aid for some time
have seen it, he would, as they are
doing and have done, hang his head in
shame. Not long ago he uttered the
vifest imprecations against the North.
Nothing was too mean for him to say.
The Hon. John E. Massey, a short
time before his death, took occasion
one day at political meeting where
Gen. Rosser was endeavorlng to do a
nice stunt as Republican clown. to
remind him of few of them. Had
these same things been told to Boston
