WALL street, New York, is admittedly
the financial center Of the country, but
in spite of that it is having an era of de-
preston such as seldom comes upon it,
Business has fallen off to an alarming
extent. The selling Of stocks is one Of
the principal items of profit to the brok-
ers, and this has dwindled most surpris-
lngly. The losses sustained by the pub
lie in the depreciation of the securities
of many of the big corporations, such as
Steel, common and preferred, have driv-
en- the people out of the market. Many
have lost all they had, and those who
still have money keep it out of all bat
gilt-edged securities. These hard times
in the great money mart of the country
are having their due effect upon the en-
ployes in the financial institutions. Since
the beginning of the year, fully $500 en-
ployes in the banking and brokerage
houses have been discharged there be-
ing nothing for them to do. The hard
times that have hit Wall street are said
to have affected alike the large as we'll
as the smaller concerns, such firms as j.
P. Morgan & Co. having been among the
first to reduce their working force when
dull times hit the street. The most dis
couraging feature is that there are 20
signs of improvement.

IT IS true that four years ago the re-
publican ticket was elected by record
breaking majority. At the convention
preceding that election Gov. La Toilette
was nominated unanimously. Since then
the reins of government have been in his
hands, and the shame be upon him for
the trouble the party is in today. FROM
a unanimous nomination four years ago
he has been reduced to nomination by
the state central committee that was
controlled by himself But his followers
will tell you that he had majority of
the delegates without the aid of the
state central committee. II he did, why
was it necessary for the said committee
to assume so much power? All the op-
position asked for was hearing Of the
contest by the delegates holding duly
and legally made out credentials. This
was certainly not too much. Why could
not La Toilette grant this? Because he
was in the minority and dare not trust
the matter from the committee who
might be classed as his chattels. They
will tell you that this was according to
precedent. Il they believed that and
believed in following precedent, why did
they overthrow precedent and bolt the
congressional caucuses so as to retain
control Of the committee. Precedent is
all right if it will help them, and if it
works the other wsy it must be turned
down.-Viroqua Republican.

IT. suggested by the Appleton Post
that both the candidates for governor,
Messrs. Cook and LaFollette, pledge
themselves to abide by the decision of
the Supreme court as to which is the
regular nominee. This is fair PROPOSE
ton, and we have full confidence that
Mr.. Cook is that kind of man who
would agree to it and then stand by the
outcome Whether Mr.. LaFollette could
be trusted to that extent is not so GER
tain. The same question in substance
was asked his representative at Wash
ington this week and the answer was
that he would probably stand by the de-
cision "if it were not given on a tecbni-
cality." This was not only a slur on the
court but it was virtually admitting that
bubbles would be resorted to if the de-
csion was adverse to the third termers.

WALTER WELLMAN is told by persons
whom he considers fairly we'll informed
that the Hearst boom has cost its pro-
prietor about 100000. Also, that the
young man isn't whimpering. He takes
the whole thing philosophically," friend
tells Wellman. He says he has had a
run for his money, has learned lot, and
expects to be heard from in the future"
Quite likely, but it will only be through
his half dozen of newspapers run by the
bright men he employs. 1t is a happy
circumstance to know that ia this land
everything political cannot be bought,
and that he who has made some success
in that line is bounded when living and
not much honored when dead.

THERE is something fanatical in the
patriotism of the Japanese, coupled with
a sort of fatalism which is making them
irresistible. Death does not appal them.
Mahomet's followers were inspired with
religious fanaticism. Not so the Jap.
His chief god is his country, and for his
flag he is willing TO die at any moment.
He cares not for pay and dreams not of
future pension. His soul, feelings,
mind and every impulse are given to his
flag. Such people may be destroyed,
but never conquered. They will say
with Napoleon's veterans-"The guard
dies, but never surrenders."

If THE methods used by the LaF Gillette
convention we're legal and correct, the
republican party in Wisconsin is COM
posed of twelve men, who form the ma
iority of the state central committee.
Under their method Of procedure these
twelve men decide who shall be mem
bers of the state convention, and the
convention, in turn, elects the state cen
trail committee. And, with nine Of the
twelve salary grabbers, appointed by the
governor or through his influence, as in
the present instance, one man becomes
the republican party. And this is claim
ed to be republicanism.-Wa Post.
