A BAD PRACTICE.

Evening Wisconsin,: Several papers
lately have been stealing the Wiscon-
sins editorials cutting them out
bodily and republishing them, with
out credit, In all the pomp OF " loaded
matter" In their own editorial space.
This sort OF land piracy is reprehen-
sible. Perhaps 1t will be stopped II
the offenders are given due notice--as
they hereby are-that they will be ex-
posed hereafter when detected.
The republishing OF editorial matter
as original is plain stealing. The
name OF every offender should be pub
lished And the stealers Of denunci-
ations OF graft, - and there are such,
should be given special prominence
and publicity.

COADJUTOR BISHOP.

The election OF Dean Paul Matthews
as eoadjutor bishop was the event of
the diocesan council held In Milwau-
kee last week. The choice Is regarded
by churchmen In general M being "
most excellent one. The election OF n
coadiutor bishop was Mt the request Of
RI Rev. /. l.. Nicholson, whose health
has given way under the duties which
he has been called upon to perform.
For fourteen years he has fulfilled the
duties Of his high Office, and has
labored In season and out OF season
TO promote the welfare OF the churches
OF his diocese, and his efforts have
had abundant reward. A man OF
great ability and of strong religious
and moral convictions, he has left the
impress OF his character upon those
with whom he has come in contact;
aud all pray that his labors are far
from being Mt an end. He asked for u
coadi utor bishop for the diocese, aud
the choice OF the council Is more than
satisfactory to him, and to the Episco-
pal clergy and laity Of Wisconsin.
The bishop elect is dean OF the
cathedral in Cincinnati. He was edu-
Gated Mt Kenyon college, NJ the gener-
al Theological seminary, New York,
and ut Oxford, England. He Is the
youngest son of the late Stanley
Matthews, associate justice Of the
United States Supreme court. He Is
spoken OF by those who know him we'll
as n broad-minded churchman, OF an
athletic build, n very able preacher,
and n man of great energy aud strong
personality. His age is thirty-eight
years, II Is sincerely hoped, alike by
the clergy and laity OF the diocese,
that he will accept the Office of u
bishop, There was life and earnest
ness, but no acrimony, In the council
that elected him; and 1t was found that
the party lines which divided the
members were more fanciful than real.
The satisfactory result Of the election
was brought about by the recognition
Of the right OF each delegate to cast
his vote according to his best judg.
ment and the dictates of his con-
science. A strong point has been
gained II hencetorth protane and vain
babblings about high church and low
church shall cease, and churchmen OF
all shades of opinion prove themselves
jealous in the cause OF true Christian.
ity workmen that needeth not to be
ashamed. The new bishop has de.
servedly won the name OF being
great missionary worker; and there is
room for such, even In Wisconsin.

Noted Correspondent and
Traveller.

Few newspapers In the United States
are able to command the services of
rs brilliant corps Of correspondents
rs THE CHICAGO RECORD HERALD.
It's choice Of Washington Cores
pondeut il indicative of the Record
Herald's policy OF obtaining. the best
there Is TO be had. Walter Wellman,
the weIl-known author on political
subjects and one of the ablest writer's
of the day, acts In that capacity.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, Nov. ;, 1858. At the age of IA
he began his newspaper experience,
establishing at that age weekly
paper In the little town Of Sutton,
Nebraska. In 1878 he returned to
Ohio, and N year later established the
Cincinnati Evening Post. In 1884 he
became the Washington correspondent
OF the Chicago Herald; and In 1892 he
visited Central America and the West
Indies, and located the landing place
Of Columbus on Watling's (San Sal
Waldorf island, and marked the spot
with " huge stone monument. Mr.,
Wellman's dashes for the north pole
are well-known. In 1894 he made the
first OF his two Arctic voyages of
exploration reaching the latitude of
81 degrees, northeast OF Spit2bergen,
In 1893 he returned to the north, pene-
trated to Franz Josef land, returning
again to this country In 1899. On
each trip he met with wonderful
success in the discovery of new
islands and lands, and brought back

Admission to High Schools.

The following letter from State
Superintendent G. p. Cary to J. F.
Bergen, principal of the Mineral
Point public schools, is In regard to
admission Of pupils to High schools:
"My dear Mr.. Bergen--In reply to
yours of recent date, ] will state that
this department holds that the course
OF study below the high school depart
ment In any we'll regulated and super
vised system of schools Is considered
as complying with the statutes, and
that pupils completing such course
are, under the provisions of chapter
800, laws of 1903, entitled TO admission
In the high school. ] do not under
stand that these children are required
to undergo any further examination
under the county superintendent. 1t
would seem that II ID one of the duties
OF county superintendent TO issue
certificate In cases such as you
mention, to those who have completed
the work preparatory TO the high
school, whether such work has been
completed In n country school or
whether it has been completed in the
grades below the high school.
cit does not seem that a county
superintendent will refuse to recognize
as properly prepared to take up high
school work those pupils who have
satisfactorily completed the grades
below the high school in the regular
course. The completion OF their pre-
paratory course, under the statutes, is
sufficient. There can be no question
whatever upon this point. Nor does
it appear that the law Intended that
only those who had completed the
work In country schools, and obtained
what IL known as II common school
diploma, should be entitled to enter
the high schools. The purpose of the
statutes appears to have been to
enlarge the opportunity for children
to obtain high school education
rather than to restrict such opportun-
ity by petty determinations and
apparent technicalities. Since com
pletion OF the course OF study in the
grades leading up to u high school,
conducted as Is the high school In
your district, Is considered by this
department equivalent to the course of
study required for graduation from
the country school; u certificate OF
such completion of preparatory work
signed by the teacher and the superin-
tendent should be recognized by the
county superintendent; and ! have no
doubt whatever II the matter Is pre-
sented to your county superintendent
he will SO recommend the course and
issue the certificate which IL appears
should be Issued under section 800,
laws OF 1903.

An aspect of the advantage possess

A p. Brigham OF Colgate university,

the farmers are able on account Of the
excellence OF the roads to employ
stormy periods for hauling their prod

A raiser of Angora goats says;
Goats have cattle diseases more than
sheep diseases. They never have in
fiammation of the mucous passages,
and seldom have foot rot They never
have scab, but are frequently lousy.
| have often read about putting q few
goats with a flock Of sheep as pro-
lection against dogs. Dogs kill goats
but not so much as sheep. have
never had any old ones killed but
have mad quite number OF kids
killed by dogs. Goats are somewhat
harder to fence than sheep, but not
SO hard as hogs. Goats do not jump,
but climb and creep. | have old
fashioned rail fences that turn goats
perfectly. If a rail fence is made
to lean from the goat he will climb
it, no matter how high 1t may be-
but well built rail fence three and a
half feet high, will keep goats per
fectly. A seven wire fence, properly
spaced will turn them perfectly. Two
| feet of woven wire and two wires

docking much better than sheep. II
the range countries they are generally
kept in flocks of from one thousand
to four thousand.
I read often OF the necessity Of al
infusion of new blood into our Amer
ican flocks by importing from Asia
| have serious doubts If Asia has a
good Angoras as the United States
The people of that country do no
select and breed with any care. ! be
lieye that we have already in thi
country Angoras from which a mos
superior animal may be produced b
American ingenuity in selecting an
mating, as has been done in the cas-
of the American Merino sheep and tn
standard bred horse. While am nc
averse to the introduction Of ne
blood, do not want it OF an inferic
quality.
