Still After Spocner.

The Sentinel's Washington correspon-
dent reports that President Roosevelt
with whom will be left the selection of
the temporary and permanent chairmen
Of the republican national convention,
which meets in Chicago in June, has
chosen former Secretary Root and SeDa-
tor John G.. Spooner to fill those posi-
tons.
Wisconsin bids fair to cut pretty fig
ure in national affairs if Gov. La Toilette
succeeds in controlling the next state
convention A statesman OF the first
rank in the United States senate; the
leading authority on constitutional and
international law: the man who three
times has been elected to the senate
without raising a finger to secure the
honor. hesitates TO signify his acceptance
of the proffered craftsmanship of ma
tional convention of his party because
he knows the head of the political ma
chine in his state will prevent his cleo
ton as delegate il he can.
1t is generally understood that the La
Toilette program provides for the cleo
ton of La Toilette himself, former Gov.
w. D. Hoard Isaac stephenson, and
fourth man of administration tendencies
as delegates at large from Wisconsin to
the national convention. 1t was because
he was determined to control both the
state nominations and the delegation to
the national convention that the govern.
or ignored the two convention precedent
and consolidated both conventions this
year. He hopes to win denomination
on bis buncombe reform issues, and if
he can bring about the consummation OF
that scheme he feels that his control Of
the convention will permit him to shelve
Spooner and Quarles and ride to the ma
tional convention as the undisputed boss
of Wisconsin politics, prepared to make
his own terms with President Roosevelt.
1t may not be necessary to say that mod
esty is not one Of the distinguished vir
tues Of the Wisconsin executive.
1t will be we'll for epublicans to keep
these facts in mind when they are elect
ing delegates to the state convention.
Senator Spooner's popularity in Wiscon-
that of Senator Quarles Both are men
of high character, distinguished ability,
and broad craftsmanship. The man who
seeks to Gust them from the party coun-
ellis has shown what be can do in the
line of disturbing peace and wrecking
his party He has also shown how he
can disorganize the state service and
transform it into political machine.
The indications are that his course is
about run and that Wisconsin republi-
cans this year will return 20 their nor
NAL condition Of harmony and effective
ness as a political family Milwaukee

THE unfairest attack which has yet
been made on the railroads in the his
tory of the state appears this week in
the form of a report from the railroad
commissioners office, falsely charging
that the railroad companies have been
evading taxation by not reporting re-
bates and concessions which are per-
fectly consistent with the law, and which
are granted without discrimination. This
piratical attack is made just at this time
in order to affect the caucuses. How
long will the intelligent citizens of Wis
consin submit to this sort of humbug-
gery?-W Whitewater Register.

IT IS reported that the ranking half
breed manager of this city pledged the
conference of the faithful in GAINESVILLE
Friday That he would bring down the
delegates from Edgerton, Fulton and
Porter in the coming conventions. Eel
low republicans, how do you relish the
idea of being bargained and sold in ad-
vance? Have you any opinions of your
own whom you would like to support at
the primaries, or will you allow one or
two men to declare your preferences?
Isn't it about time to break away from
such dictation? Come out to the eau
cuses and put your stamp of disapproval

The primaries to select delegates to
all the republican conventions to be hold
this year will be held throughout the
county next Monday. The time to pre-
pare for the contest is therefore short
and it means greater activity and harder
work for the remaining few days. 1t is
a mark of good citizenship to have in
terest in political matters that will en-
sure your presence at the caucuses. We
believe the people of Wisconsin are tired
of La Folletteism and factional politics
and will 80 record their verdict next
Monday.

The game warden scandal is of itself
strong enough indictment to defeat the
administration for a third term. The
spending of more than $4,000 of the

people will have an opportunity at the

TWO NEW STAT ES.

The states Of "Oklahoma and Arizona
will be created in the passage of bill
which has been completed by the republi-
can members of the subcommittee OF the
House committee on territories. The
democratic members of this subcommittee
have been placed in possession Of the
bill, and after they have considered it for
a few days a meeting Of the full sIbcom
mittee will be held.
The two states mentioned are composed
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as
"Oklahoma" and Arizona and New Mexi-
co as "Arizona." The bill provides that
Oklahoma and the In dian Territory shall
not be admitted as state until the year
1906. By this time all the Indian lands
will have been allotted.
The state constitutions to be formed
under the bill must contain an absolute
prohibition of poiygamy. Suffrage cannot
be restricted except for ignorance, imbe
cility, age and sex. This will not prohibit
woman suffrage if the constitution to be
adopted shall SO provide. Negro suffrage
cannot be restricted as such.

EXCITING EPISODE IN TIL E
LOWER HOUSE.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
american from Annapolis on Wednesday
says:
In the House there as lively debate
over the proposition to unseat Messrs.
Smoot and Walbach, Republicans, of
Charles county. After lengthy discus
sion the Speaker ruled that both are en-
titled to their seats. Upon this announce
ment Mr. Wells sprang to his feet and
shouted:
Il want to congratulate Mr.. Sydney
Mudd on his influence over the Democrats
in the Maryland legislature.'
II want you to understand, sir, that Mr..
Mudd has not Influenced my vote,' indig-
nantly replied Mr.. Kerbin, who had voted
with the Republicans.
An attempt was then made to proceed
with business, but Mr.. Wells gave notice
that he intended hereafter to demand that
every bill be read in full.
ut seems to me-" said the Speaker,
rapping loudly with his gavel, "that the

"You have not shown SO much compe
tence yourself as speaker" shouted Mr..
Wells
"The gentlemen from Prince Georges
will take his seat" yelled the Speaker,
and upon Mr.. Wells refusal to do so Or
dered the sergeant-a alarms to seat him.
cit seems to be a habit here" said the
Speaker, again pounding with his gavel,
that when some of the members fail to
get all they want they threaten to ob,
struct business. If this is to continue,
we might as well quit and go home to our
constituents and explain our failure to
perform our duty properly
Mr.. Wells, still shaking his fist at the
Speaker, cried angrily: "Ill not be in
suited in this matter by you, sir; you have
no right to make such remarks from the
chair, and I'll call you down for it before
the whole State of Maryland"

PENSIONS FOR JUDGES.

In the House tonight Senator Wilson s
bill to pension judges of certain courts
was taken up.
Mr.. Kerbin made an impressive argu-
ment against the bill, his main point be
ing that judges accepted positions with
a distinct understanding as to their com
pensation; that the state is under no OBJ
legation to pension them and that their
salaries are sufficiently large to enable
them to provide for old age.
Mr.. Benson took the ground that the
passage of the bill will do away with the
tendency to extend the period of retire
ment beyond the age limit of 20 years at
the risk of lowering the standard of the
courts.
Mr.. Johnston thought that the greater
reward the better the material which may
be secured out of which to create and up
hold the judiciary of the state.
The roll was then called, and the bill
was passed by s. yeas and 30 nays.

.sMR. CLEVELAND OUT OF IT.

The expression of the Democratic
State Committee of New Jersey in
favor of an uninstructed delegation to
the National Convention must be &C
cepted as the final proof that Mr..
Cleveland is no longer to be consider
ed for the Presidential nomination,
SAYS the New York "World.'
The Democratic le 'ers in the ex-
Presidents own State, though very
friendly to him, are evidently fully
persuaded of the linality of his express
ed determination not to be regarded
as candidate. To avoid placing Mr..
Cleveland in false position, and to
leave their delegation free to act for
the best interest of the party as it
shall appear at the time of the nomi-
nation, they will neither indorse him
nor instruct for him.
Mr.. Harrity of Pennsylvania, in an
lOGerFleW Ill tue W OIlu VII ouuoay
took the same view of the uselessn IS
of further consideration of MIR. Cleve-
lands name as the latters most init
mate friends in other States have eX-
pressed.
1t is a great pity that this is so; be-
cause the ex.President represents in
peculiar degree the moral sense of the
nation. His views are known. His
conduct in office could be predicted
with certainty from his character and
record He would stand a better
chance than any other Democrat of
carrying New York, New Jersey and
the other doubtful and necessary
States. But his nomination must now
he regarded as almost impossible.
This fact compels q rea jistment OF
the view of those who see III a 'sane
and safe" leadership the only hope OF
the Democratic party. With Mr..
Cleveland out of the question, a new
situation is created. To whom can
intelligent and conservative Demo
Gratis turn!
There are those who regard Judge
Gray of Delaware as available. His
settlement Of the great coal strike and
his attitude during the hearing were
eminently judicial, fair and firm.
Yet lie also must he counted out
since his own State is not tor him, and
Senator Vests caus.ic description of
his somersault in first stenuously OPP
posing and then weakly acquiescing
in the seizure Of the Philippines, con-
trary to all the traditions of his coun-
try and to the avowed sentiment of
his party, shows how indicate it
would be for him o stand on a plat
form denouncing the Republican poll
cy of imperial colonialism.
Former Attorney General Olney
las also been suggested and it is said
that the Massachusetts delegation will
be In his favor. But the anti merger
decision of the Supreme Court. en-
forcing law against monopoly which
he said with sneers could never be en-
forced, has settled his .se.

In the United States Court in St.

the Postof1ice Department at Wash

penalty of a $40 900 fine and two years
Imprisonment on each of six counts on
which he was found guilty, which the
court may impose, Senator Burton is
forever barred from holding any pub.
lie office in the United States. And
this man a United States Senator! In
his defense, it will be remembered,
Mr.. Burton stated that he had accept
ed the offer Of the Rialto Company to
act as it's general counsel because he
had lost heavily in financial panic
and needed the $500 month for which
his contract called and that lie want
ed to build up practice before the
Postofiice Department, as other Sena-
tors and many Representative had
done. Mr.. Burton having been con-
victed it should now be the duty OF
the Senate to thoroughly investigate
the charge which he makes against his
colleag que and any one found guilty
should be expelled at once.
