The floral offerings were profuse

testified louder than words of the

Frank Clark, of Wheeling, West
Virginia, son of E e. Clark and brother

in the city this morning on a short visit
Frank Clark was born and raised in
this city. He is Division Wire Chief
and has charge of the four exchanges
of the National Telephone company, in
Wheeling, as we'll as six private branch
exchanges. In writing to his father
last week Frank said that the Ohio
river was raising, but did not think
there would be flood; however there
was good large stage and load after
load of coal has passed by during the
last two or three days. The coal for
the Russo Japanese war vessels nearly
all went down the Ohio. Our own war
vessels as well as foreign ones are sup
piled from the same source. There are
some 5000 of the Wheeling people who
live on the island and flood is SER
ious thing to them as few can stand
raise of more than 46 feet, and many
less. There was rise of A feet a year
ago last January which left three or
four feet of ice over nearly the whole
island. That is certainly big rise on
a river and one the Wisconsin could
not stand very long.

A Rising Tide

A very helpful democratic meeting
was held at Milwaukee on Monday
evening There was no attempt to
formulate a'party policy or to launch
an issue. IrrepressibIe forces are at
work making up the issues of 1906; and
doubtless the issue of chief Importance
in the nation will be tariff tax reduc-
ton; while in state affairs the struggle
will be over representative government
The condition which confronts the
people is, government at Washington
by stand-patters, and in Wisconsin by
dictatorship. United opposition to
these evils is the plain duty of demo-
Gratis. A spontaneous and hearty
recognition of this duty by all demo
Gratis present was most encouraging
feature of the Milwaukee meeting.
Mr.. Manson, the new state chairman
OF the state committee, has started out
well; and his modestY and other char
acteristics of his bearing bespeak that
he will wear well.-Iowa County Demo

Roosevelt S Opportunity.

BY unanimous vote the senate has
adopted the Tillman resolution calling
on the secretary of the treasury for in
formation regarding the contributions
made by national banks to political
committees. The secretary is asked to
inform the senate if the reports of the
national bank examiners disclose the
extent and amount of such contribu-
tons if not, ascertain from the bank
officials the contributions made by them
from the funds of the banks since the
campaign of 1892 The life insurance
contributions, it is generally believed,
are rs a drop in the bucket compared
with the contributions made by the
national banks in the financial eenters
to the Republican fatfrier.
The scandal, too, is far gleater--for
there seems to be a connection between
these contributions and favoritism
shown to the banks that enjoy the treas
ury's favor. In his Washington cor
respondence Walter Wellman says
that the Republicans of the senate in
passing Tillman's resolution made a
virtue of necessity" They did not dare
to defeat it. He says:
The debate was interesting. II has
for years been afavorite theory with the
Democratic leaders that Republicans
have Systematically worked" the ma
tional banks for campaign funds. They
believe large part of the big funds
Mark Hanna raised in 1896 and in 1900
came from the national banks. They
further believed that favoritism IS

The students are making considerable

A committee of three visitors from
Trempeleau county inspected the work
of the Agricultural and Training schools
last Friday. The gentlemen were Hon.
H. A. Arnold, of Galesville, at one time
speaker of the house; e. 0. Linderman,
of Osseo, now chairman of the county
board of Trempeleau county and 6 l.
Dewey, of Arcadia. Before coming
here they had inspected the training
schools at Alma, Menomonie and Eau
Claire and were enthusiastic in their
appreciation of the work in all these
schools. All were different, they said,
yet the same in their general aims. They
mentioned the life, enthusiasm, and
practical instruction as the Character
istic feature of this school. They heard
most of the literary exercises in the af-
ternoon also, and seemed to enjoy the
business part of the program. Mr.. Ar
mold gave the society some ten or
twelve questions, the answers of which
would be found in Roberts Rules of
Order.

apple pie order when examiners do
come around.
These rerorts are not altogether
vague. Mr.. Lawson of Boston, who is
a banker and knows the ms and outs of
the New York banks, has made some
very definite charges and he haj indi-
Gated quite plainly that the heads of
some of the greatest financial institu-
tons in the country today should be
wearing stripes.
The law, however, has not been en-
forced and no pretense of enforcing it
has been made. Mr. Tillman's resolu-
ton may not bring forth the desired
information, but it will give to Mr..
Roosevelt opportunity to show the
greater efficacy of federal regulation
over state control. Before New York
gets through with its life insurance
rascals some one may go to the peni-
tentiary-at least there is publicity.
Can the president make as good show
ing in his own field?
Mr.. Tillman and the senate have
given him opportunity to make good
to square the deed with the word. :"

TILLMAN, of South Carolina, is stir
ring the republicans of the U. S. Senate
in manner that is somewhat pleasing
to the democrats. He has introduced
rate-hxlng bill of which Foraker said,
it was the best yet presented, if the
government was determined to 60 into
the rate-making business at all. When
the salaries for officials of the canal
force came up, Tillman said that cit is
good old Anglo Saxon stealing and not
graft, to pay such high salaries as are
paid to canal officials" He added that
"There should be legislation and the
steals stopped even if the president has
loaned the prestige of his great name to
the existing condition of affairs" Till
man has blunt way of telling burning
truths and they hit home every time.

A PURE WATER SUPPL
OR A CITY HALL.

There is absolutely no means of know
ing how much money it is going to
take to make the city water supply
what it should be. All are at sea. No
two opinions are alike. The mains
may all have to be taken up and new
system laid before the trouble which
now confronts us can be remedied.
Now, getting right down to the real
question, would it not be better to put
off the building of another city hall un-
til pure water supply is assured No
one believes, even under the most
favorable circumstances, a solution of
this question can be reached within a
year. 1t may be possible that from
$4,000 to $4,000 may remedy present
evils. At any rate, when the exact
amount is known, and it is arranged
for, then it is time for those who favor
another city hall, to set their date for
the building of the same.
Now, do not beat around the bush,
Mr.. Herald. Let the public know
whether yeu favor water supply such
as our city ought to have, or whether
YOU prefer instead, another city hall
at cost of from 5000 to $50, 600. We
can't have both at this time,

THE Herald seems to feel badly over
the unsavory reputation that the Wau-
sau water works is getting through the
recent advertising given it by the PILOT
and says that 1.-THE citizens of Wausau
do not feel proud of the PILOTS part in
the affair" The PILOT feels perfectly
satisfied with the course il has taken
and is assured that fully nine-tenths of
the citizens of Wausau are at its back,
and it is fully as able to Judge" as the
Herald. All the unsavory advertising
the papers can give our water system
cannot possibly do tenth part of the
harm to our city that is done by stran-
gers who come here, drink our water, (if
they CAM and then spend their time
telling the people of other cities what
vile stuff is pumped through our city
water mains.
A municipal plant must be made to
toe the mark just the same as one
owned by private corporation. True,
the city gives fairly low rate, but why
shouldn't it when it only costs 800 to
operate the plant and revenue of
S22, 500 is derived from the consumers.
And why shouldn't there be howl
when our people have to pay the city
S12 to $50 year for water and then are
compelled to pay the same amount to
some owner of a spring to furnish them
water that they can drink? Taking
this into consideration the price our
people have to pay for water is out
rageous.
The real question at issue and the
one which is the talk of the city, has
not been touched upon by the Herald.
The water plant is owned by the city,
therefore it is a waste of energy to dis
cuss municipal ownership as to that
institution. The real question is which
do the tax payers of Wausau want first,
