MORALES LITTLE GAME.

The announcement comes from San
Domingo that President Morales is
greatly pleased. What has caused this
great pleasure on the part Of the
president is not stated. 1t can hardly
be because he sees his way to settling
with his foreign cerditors, for he has
never let that matter worry him. ills
only concern heretofore has been how
he could get deeper into their debt. 1t
is a sense of security in his position
of president in name and dictator in
fact of the socalled republic that
brings this feeling of pleasure and sat-
isfaction to him. He no longer fears
a successful revolution under the lead
ership of his rival, Jiminez. He has
carried his point in having a protec-
torate established over his country by
the United States and in having Presi-
dent Roosevelt recognized as the cham

presence of representatives of the init

too small to justify the attempt. The
lions growing out of the attitude
towards San Domingo assumed by orr

STATE INSTITUTIONS FULL.

A Madison news dispatch says the
state board ofcontrol is urging the
passage of the bill making an ap-
preparation of $500,000 for general
repairs and additions to the various
state institutions under it's charge.
The number of inmates in nearly
all of the state institutions has
materially increased during the last
two years. Today, nearly every
state institution is crowded. At the
state prison. .at;Waupun, there are
now confnedi more than fifty pris-
oners forswhom there are no cells,
the overflow being provided for in
the guard room and the corridors
around the cells. The total mum.
Der in thisi prison, December 81,
1904, was 613, as against $50 on
December 81, 1902. The increase
of inmates at the state hospital at
Mendoza during the same period
was thirty-two; at the Northern
hospital,at Oshkosh, twenty; in the
school forl the deaf, twenty three;
in the Industrial school at Wau-
kesha, thirty two; at the home for
the feeble minded at Chippewa
Falls, 1908 in the reformatory at
Green Bay, ninety This
shows all the state institutions ex-
cept the state school for dependent
children at Sparta and the school
for the blind at GAINESVILLE, to be
crowded to their capacity.

FAILS TO NAME REGENTS.

The terms of two-thirds of the
members of the board of regents OF
the state university expired Feb. 1
and Gov. LaFollette has made no
effort to appoint successors to any
of them. The regents whose terms
have expired are simply holding
oyer under the terms of the law.
Just why they have not been reap
pointed or successors to them have
not been named by the governor is
a state mystery. To leave the board
of regents IN such an unsettled
state, it is pointed out, is likely to
react upon the university itself.
Gov. La Toilette has it in his power
to appoint as regents any day a
sufficient number of men to domin-
ate the board and the university
itself. The regents whose terms
have expired are ex-senator w. F.
Villas, Madison, regent-at-large; Fl.

J. G. Kerwin of Neenah, eighth

preme court. 1t is understood that
he has resigned as regent
