NO FUSION.

Without doing any flirting" with
the Democrats the Populist National
Convention held at ST. Louis last
week, nominated Thomas E. Wat
son, of Georgia for President, and
Samuel Williams, Of Indiana, for
Vicc-President. The Democrats
having no use for Populists, except
to swell the Democratic vote, this
action on the part Of that party means
that there is to be no fusion of those
two parties in the pending Presi-
Dental campaign. With "clean
cut" Populistic ticket in the field
the so-called labor vote" will have
a choice of one of three tickets, and
its natural tendency is a leaning
toward the Populists, but the strong
probability that either the Republi-
can or Democratic party will win
out will doubtless divert it from Mr..
Watson to which ever Of the two
old parties makes the highest and
best bid" for it.

Attorney General Bonaparte holds
that Congress has constitutional
right to do something in the way of
restrictive legislation against the
cause of anarchy. Assuming this
to be true, Congress will fail in it's
duty to the country if it shall fail to
enact into law stringent measures
which, enforced, would obliterate
the red flag Of anarchy and that for
which it stands. Any teaching
which seeks to blot out all civilized
government and substitute therefor
a state of barbarism should be sup
pressed so effectively that it could
not rise again. A liberation which
permits the promoters of anarchy
under the claim of the right to free
speech" is an erroneous indulgence
which the American people, in
justice to themselves cannot afford
to grant. Congress should at once
get busy with this subject.

Extend University Farm.

The work of dissemination of
pure bred grains and forage crops
at the University of Wisconsin col
lege of agriculture has reached
such proportions that it has become
necessary to extend the agricultural
experiment farm for the purpose Of
producing improved varieties of
seed for distribution. The present
22O acre farm west of the campus
has therefore been enlarged recent
ly by the lease of 70 acres of valu-
able land Immediately adjoining,
which is to be used by the depart
ments of agronomy and animal hus-
bandry for breeding purposes.

Moving Day in New York City.

often several in one block, bu t this
particular Moving Day" that l
want to tell your readers about is
one of unusual interest. Why? be-
cause there will be not one or two,
but two thousand vans all pouring
their loads into one building. 1t
will not take long to que SIS what
this building is-A New York "sky
scraper," called the "Huds on Ter
minal Building" three times larger
than any other Office building here.
And it is to house between ten and
eleven thousand people. The floor
space will contain twenty-se ven
square acres all together, and til ere
are fety-two elevators. Within a
very short time these tenants all
move into this building.
Can you imagine greater tnovin g
day? Four thousand horses and
enough men to make ten regi nents.
of infantry will be engaged j n the
work. Special arrangements have
been made with the police d epart-

traffic, and all day long. al i'd for
several days, one can witne SIS the
most gigantic moving day that New

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

The comparatively light vote
polled at the recent elections indi-
Gates that the people are not greatly
wrought up over the question of
Presidential candidates, or anything
else of National concern to have
been decided before the next gerer-
al election to be held in November.
The local elections in many local
tiles have given much encourage
ment to the temperance element,
and correspondingly depressed the
liquor element. Whether or not
this apparent change is temporary
the future must determine.
The result of the municipal cleo
ton in the States metropolis indi-
Gates that the Republicans have lost
their hold on Milwaukee for several
years to come. There are plenty to
tell chow it happened" and the
factional bitterness has been so in
tensifed that the date of party
harmony" there is wholly problem
atical.
AS was generally expected, SEN
ator La Toilette carried the Wiscon-
sin delegation for the Chicago Con-
vention, but what disposition he
will make of it is not publicly known,
and it is not probable that he him
self knows at this time.
There seems to be no doubt that
secretary Taft will haye the lead in
the Chicago Convention, and should
Governor Hughes retire from the
race the greater part of his strength
would be more likely to go to Taft
than to anyone else. Should Hughes
stay in the fight, and Taft fail to
have majority at the outset the
field" might be able to unite upon
the New York candidate, but the
conservative element of the East
would hardly become a party to the
nomination of Mr.. La Toilette at
this stage in his career.
