A Side Slap at Bob.

In his speech nominating Peck
for governor, Neal Brown, among
other things said this in favor of his
candidate:
ellis ways have always been ways
of soberness and not ways of fam
boyant, theatrical emotionalism. He
has always been content to follow
the old standards of conduct and to
hold to the plain course of simple
duty. He has betrayed no trusts;
he has alienated no friends by dark
and devious methods. Gov. Peck
never played the demagogue. That
pose is easy to take and is the favor
tie stage property of the cheapest
politician. For time it brings the
plaudits Of the unthinking, but we
may be sure that the hysteria of the
demagogue and his dupes is fever
that soon burns itself out; it cannot
last long, although it often continues
for a time, sufficient to place lot of
little-big men III unaccustomed
places.
'sGovernor Peck never wandered
through Chautauquan course of
SANDER upon his state or its people.
Nor was he strenuous enough to
proclaim in distant states the dread
full cause and effect of corrupt poll
tics in his own state, and at the same
time furnish in his own person and
in his own following the awful ex-
ample of both cause and effect.
"He never while he was governor
sealed up the departments of state
government from the investigation
and inquiry of the citizen, or with
held from public knowledge the
condition of public accounts and rec
ords. He never turned over $780,
900 of the public funds to an army
of grating game wardens and Off
cial tramps to be largely expended
in packing caucuses and in thimble-
devices to thwart the will
of the people and perpetuate his
power. He did not during his four
years of official duty in this state
make Of the state university temple
Of graft, where all the familiar teach
ings of the true dignity of labor
were belied and the gospel and
science of graft inculcated by adding
to the capitol payroll scores Of uni
versity students who should make
no pretense of earning the money
that they received"

The great engineering feat of the
New York Subway railway is about
accomplished. This work was COM
menced four years ago. 1t extends
"a miles with over one fourth of the
distance four track, and IS miles Of
three track. It was to cost S35,ooo,-
900. A curious fac in regard to
this great enterprise is that it will
cost the city nothing. The city
guarantees the bonds; company
borrows the money on these bonds,
pays the bonds as they become due
and the interest as it accrues out of
the earnings of the road and at the
end of fifty years the property goes
to the city. The city is to no ex-
pense; it comes into absolute posses
sion of the road at the end of the
fifty years.

SO much of bv the La Toilette fac
ton. 1t is now shown that he had
used money belonging to the state
to the amount of $I2SS.69, yet the
governor accepts his bond of 100000
after demanding one of 100000
from Kempf!
Treasurer Purtell's bond, it is I'M
derstood, is furnished by officers of
such banks. The governors ''fat-
flyers" have also appealed to the
state repositories for campaign funds
with some success.
VIII some one please explain why
it was an offense for Kempf to "use
money belonging to the state for his
private purposes" when no objec-
ton is made to Purtell doing the
same thing; why a bond of $780,
900 was demanded of Kempf and
one OF 100000 from Purtell; why
Kempf was censured for borrowing
money from state repositories and
Pultell was permitted to file bond
with officers of state repositories as
sureties; why Kempf did wrong to
borrow money from those financial
institutions when the governors
campaign collectors are holding them
up for campaign contributions?

Still laundering.

The Democratic leaders are noted
for esgetting their foot in it, They
can be relied on to blunder some
where along the line so as to defeat
their own intention. They have
practically acknowledged that the
policies of the Republicans have
been eminently successful. They
are like the preacher in sermonizing
on pride-he thanked God He had
nothing to be proud of. They pro-
pose to carry on the campaign by
attacking the character of President
Roosevelt. The announcement
raises horse. laugh. Of all public
men Theodore Roosevelt is the
most invulnerabie. There is no
other man in this nation-and as for
that. in the whole world-so well
known as President Roosevelt. And
the knowledge men have of him is
accurate. He stands before the
world perfectly transparent. His
frankness scorns cheating, hypocrisy,
subterfuge. He deals with all men
in the open and we know just what
he is. Throw all the mud at Roose-
welt YOU wish to, it won't stick to
him. Of all men he has "preserved
the whiteness of his SOUL"

Parker's Evasiveness.

In spite of the judicial fairness,
honesty and directness attributed to
Judge Parker, the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency, his public
utterances upon pending political is
sues have in some instances been so
evasive as to admit of different in
terpretations, and are therefore un-
satisfactory to many voters who
were a few weeks ago favorable to
his election. In striking contrast
with the evasiyeness of Parker is
the comprehensive directness of
President Roosevelt. When the
Republican Presidential candidate
expresses himself upon current is
sues he does not use the language
of political trimmer, but instead
says just what he means, and does
it so clearly that no supplementary
statement is needed to explain where
or how he stands upon the Philip
pine or any other question. 1t is
conceded, however, that Judge
Parker is sufficiently explicit in his
endorsement fthe Republican finan-
cial policy, and his attitude upon
this issue makes the free-silver
Bryanites excessively weary. The
labor element had expected much of
Parker, but as he is the acknowl-
edged representative of the Bel
monts of Wall street he is giving
no encouragement to the laboring
class. The labor leaders have made
a note of this, and prefer the "open
shop" idea entertained by Roose-
Welt rather than Parker's attitude as
indicated by his failure to recognize
their rights to organize labor, a rig ht
which Roosevelt not only distinctly
recognizes, but also encourages.
The Bryanites, Populists and or
ganized labor constitute political
elements having ideas common to
all three but they have no affinity
whatever for the political idea held
by the men and money influences
most actively engaged in pushing
Parker to the front A large pro-
portion of the vote to be cast by
Populists, Bryan's followers and or
ganized labor, and upon which the
Democratic managers had confident
~ figured as being for Parker will
be given to Roosevelt, Watson AMI
Debbs, in spite of the most strenu-
Gus efforts of Belmont, Hill and
Murphy to prevent it. The Park
er pushers are making too great an
effort to secure the voters support
ing the money power to hold the
support of those who are avowedly
hostile to that power.

The platform of the national De-
mocracy is remarkable only for what
is left out of it. The statement Of
principles enunciated has little point
and sorry application to national
conditions. There is an inanity
about the whole document, feature
that emphasizes the acknowledged
fact that the party stands for moth
ing. Take this plank as a sample:
1--WE favor the preservation, SO
FAR AS WE CAN, of an open
door for the worlds commerce in
the Orient" Perhaps there is no
ambiguity in that statement, eve
FAVOR the open door SO far as we
can. The open door is-a Republic
an principle and so our disposition is
a little cross grained, and we cannot

1t is alleged that State Treasurer
Kempf put up seventeen hundred
dollars of the States money in an at
tempt to carry the city of Milwau-
kee for La Toilette in the Republic
an state convention. This sum
helped to swell the shortage for
which La Toilette kicked Kempf
out of the treasurer's office, although
the deposed official by dint of some
lively hustling made good the short
age. So it appears that Kempf is
out seventeen hundred dollars and
his Office because of his loyalty to
Bob, but he knows a heap more
about the devious ramifcations of
politics than he did before his feath-
ers were plucked by the ungrateful
and despotic boss, whom he was as
sisting to continue in power.

The St. Paul Dispatch is using its
influence to defeat the denomination
of Congressman McCleary in the
Second Minnesota district. 1t claims
that McCleary is not Republican.
He is not by the measure of the
Dispatch, but he is in harmony with
the leaders and with the established
policy of the party and the Dispatch
is not. McCleary's Republicanism
is of the orthodox kind, the true-blue
variety-the kind to bank on. He
should be reelected.

The Democrats of Wisconsin have
chosen ex-Gov. George w. Peck as
their standard bearer. The scandal
which contributed to Peck's defeat
in 1894 was SO tame in comparison
with those of the La Toilette ad-
ministration that it will not be made
an issue, but as the genial Milwau-
kee humorist has already served two
terms as governor the anti-third-
term argument is just us applicable
in Mr.. Peck's case as it is in that of
Gov. La Toilette, and as it was in
1880 in the case of Gen. Grant.

That Kempf was not qualified for
the office of treasurer of the state,is
acknowledged. He was the Cover
nor's selection-selected because it
was supposed primarily he would
be an ardent supporter of the per-
ronal policies of the Governor. He
should never have been elected.
But there are certain curious facts
that go to discount the disinterested
motives of La Toilette in ousting
him from bis job, as appears by the
Winneconne Record. In a recent
address the Governor said.
81 will tell you about the state
treasurer. He used money belong
sing to the state for his private pur-
poses. 1t was restored to the treas
ury, and | did the only thing | could
under the law. | demanded that he
increase his bond. He failed to do
this, and / then declared his office
vacant"
Treasurer Kempf already had fur
nished bond amounting to $780,
900. Gov. La Toilette demaned
that he file additional bonds to the
amount of $4,000, making tie
total bond 100000. Kempf failing
to secure the bond required, the
Governor declared the office vacant,
and Thomas M. Purtell was APP
pointed in his stead and boL1 of
100000 was accepted from him.
Purtell was an employee of the
treasurer's office at the time the
"doodle book" exposure was made

ORIGIN Of the Tent.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates
that Adam on his expulsion from para
disc encountered a cutting north wind,
against which his scant girdle OF ng
leaves proved poor protection. As he
wistfully cast his eyes over the desc
late plain Of Shinar be perceived at a
great distance a dead thorn bush.
Running thither. he crouched behind it.,
and while still shivering he saw a wild
ass come by. And Adam cried to the
beast to lie down alongside and keep
him warm. But the ass spake out
(''for asses sometimes spake in those
days as SINCE" saith the commentator,
and derided him for not having a
warm coat of fur, whereupon Adam
waxed wroth and slew the ass with a
piece OF the thorn tree and, with teeth
and nails stripping off the ass coat,
wrapped it around himself. But to-
ward noon, the sun growing hot and
a scorching wind arising, Adam con-
ceived the happy thought Of hanging
the skin over the bush and reposing in
The shade thereof. 1t was done. the
