PRIEcIPLEs AND Parry.

Year by year the contention and feel
ing between democrat and republican
is lessening. Never, since the long and
vigorous strife between these two Lad
ing parties began, has this state of af-
fairs been so apparent as at the present
time Party feeling is being supplanted
by a due consideration for patriotic and
humane principles. Such a condition is
the main safeguard of our republic All
honor to an intelligent citizenship AS
evidence of all this the following is
quoted from thoughtful, conscien-
tious writer
'If emancipation from railroad and
other corporation ruis is to come in the
near future, it will be brought about by
the efforts of Gov, La Toilette and his
supporters, whether republican or dem
ocratic. This is fact ~ evident to all
az to need no argument 1t has been
dence of his lack of partisan loyalty,
that he invites the cooperation OF fair
minded democrats in his endeavor to
bring about better political condition
than now exists; but why should he not
do so? he is not working solely for the
benefit of republicans. His success will
enure to the well-being of every citizen,
and he ought to have countenanee and
assistance of all citizens in the pursuit
Of his purpose. That he believes in and
will stand up for the general principles
Of the national party organization Is
true But there is nothing in those
views to swerve him from the direct
path il. regard to the public affairs o.
the state Of Wisconsin. People may
differ widely about tariffs and island
domination, and may still be of ont
mind as to the desirability of local gov
eminent of the people, That is why
democrats have voted and win still vote
for Robert NJ. La Toilette for the CHIEF
executive until his special work shall b
completed

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

A decision of tne supreme court of
this stat based solely on the action of
the national committee Of any political
party, or making such action an impor-
tant factor in the case would be but lit
tie short of infamy that Justly attached
to the bred Scott decision, and would
be received with merited contempt by
every mind not blinded or poisoned by
corporate influence 1t was at one time
the opinion of the supreme court that a
railroad company was a mere private
corporation and no more subject to leg
islative control than was a shoe shop or
8 grocery store. TIL decision was over
ruled by the supreme court Of the United
States, and today men wonder that a
body of learned men could ever have
reached tie conclusion that corpora
ton having the power of eminent do
main could be regarded as a private
corporation and beyond legislative con-
troll Courts are not infallible and pol
itical questions affecting the peoples
welfare are more satisfactorily settled
by the people at the ballot box than by
any judicial tribunal. 1t is iAleed a
happy condition that at this crisis, she
court Of all the people is the only
supreme court from whose decision there
can be no appeal Madison Democrat.

1T IS IMPORTANT.

Every Vernon county republican
should give an hour or two Of his valu-
able time to attend the party caucus on
Saturday afternoon, August 9Th He
should accept no man for delegate to
represent his town at the county or as
sembly convention who is unwilling to
state positively on which side of the
great principles be stands az between
the corporations and the people 1t is a
time for plain talk and decisive action.
The party caucus and county conven-
ton are the proper places to declare
openly on these importan, questions.

Madison Democrat: Railroads in
Iowa have a practical reason for being
in politics The state executive council
Of Iowa, composed OF state officers, has
lust levied the railroad assessment for

railroads q good reason for wanting to
elect the governor, state auditor and
state treasurer, but happily the horny
handed, hay-seed ststec men of Iowa have
shown the aagacity to keep rather close
control Of All the offices. The state may
be going to the diminution bowwows as
