DEMOCRATIC OPINION.

The Madison Democrat, published I'M

state capitol, with opportunity to watch
his every act as public servant, has the
following to say If Wisconsin's new
governor:
To Governor Davidson. we'll wishes
for successful administration Nor
need any of us doubt but that it will be
so.
Governor Davidson is man Of integ.
rity, of solidity, of good purpose. His
service TO the state-and it has not been
SHORTS entirely creditable to him and
it has been satisfactory TO the great body
of citizens. Mr.. Davidson assumes the
goYernorship not rs novice in state
craft, but as one having really except
.onal experience. Six years as assem-
blyman four rs state treasurer, three
as lieutenant governor and presiding Of
ficer of the senate. with long list of
lesser public functions performed as viii
lsge president, village treasurer and con-
gressional committee chairman, these
have given him a familiarity with affairs
of state of remarkable range. AS an as
semblyman he was stubbornly honest,
sturdily strong in assertion of hard,
safe common sense.

la FOLLFTTF'S SALARY

The predictions of Senator La F. l.
lette's enemies have come to naught.
He has refused TO accept the salary
that is due him from March 4, 1895, I'M
til the 4th of the present month, whsn
he was sworn in as senator. He vii
accept pay only for the time that he has
been full.hedged senator. The 81, 000
due him for last year will be paid bach
to the treasury.
This ought to bring relief to the minds
of some Of the critics of the senator who
had great deal to say about Mr. La
Follette's ayaricious way. There were
good many people who apparently
were rs sure that the new senator would
draw pay for the time that he did not
serve the state, as that he and Senator
Spooner would create scene when it
came time for the former to be sworn
into Office.
Perhaps 1t is q disappointment and
not relief that neither expectation was
realized Milwaukee Journal.

that serpents chiefly abound. All
snakes are of tropical oris'n. but some

no snakes Contrary to the popular
belief, there are some snakes in Ire

smallest serpents in the world are the

are about as big as fair sized earth

others bring forth their young alive.
In the latter category are vipers, rat
