It Is the largest county building in

no tactless illusions will be made to
the fact that the cost was less than

In 1883 Lionel sackville-west. the
British minister at Warrington. was
induced to write q letter to a man
giving the name of Murchison and
representing himself to be former

"Murchison" asked advice as to how
to vote and the minister II his reply
virtually accused President Cleveland
OF playing politics and assuming an
attitude OF hostility to England which
he did not really feel. The letter
offended the Irish and the administrs-

MADISON THANK YOU MA,AM.

For a number of years now. Mr..
La Toilette has been having his own
way-pretty nearly-in Wisconsin
politics. Now and then his chariot
bumps on thank-you-ma'am in the
road. That happened recently, when,
at the Republican primaries, rich old
Lumberman Stephenson - in other
days his benevolent financial "angel"
|-wrestled with the younger fellows
for the United States senatorship and
threw them. 1t has happened again
at Madison, the Wisconsin capital, last
week.
The republican state conventions
committee on resolutions adopted, 10
to z. straight Endorsement of the
Chicago national platform. Then it re-
considered, to s, and took a recess.
At its night session a committeeman
proposed to tack to the Endorsement
of the Chicago platform this addition:
And we also indorse the three La
Toilette planks, physical valuation of
railways, popular election of senator's
and publicity Of, campaign contribu-
TONS" He was outvoted, the fight was
taken into the convention, and the La
Toilette addition was rejected. More
than that Senator Stephenson's friend
and campaign manager, E. A. Ed
monds, was elected chairman of the
state committee. He had 6S votes;
A. G. Backus, Senator La Follette's
man, had 40.
These vlcissitudes are incident to
politics and bump is not an upset
Though not having his own way as to
everything just now, La Toilette is
still the most dynamic and masterful
politician in Wisconsin. 1t is fact,
too-and fact to be reckoned with
that he is listened to attentively by
thousands on thousands Of westerners
who are as deaf as SO many deaf ad-
ders to the voice of anybody suspect
ed of reactionary tendencies or cor
poration entanglements. Mr.. Bryan
even before his nomination, could not
or, at any rate, did not-conceal the
hope stirring in his bosom as he look
ed in La Follette's direction. It Is an
other of Mr.. Bryan's disappointments
one more drop of bitter in his cup
to hear La Toilette publicly describ-
ing Judge Taft as a progressive man.

McLaurin had forgotten some OF the

superstition, and the Russian church,
being, 80 to speak, the left hand OF
the cars power-the army is his
right handbook the political turn
by instinct and habit So the people
of st. Petersburg and the neighbor-
hood who go to church were made to
acknowledge on Sunday that heaven
had sent upon them the cholera be-
cause of their disobedience to the
car.
1t is pretty hard for an instructed
mind to imagine that the divine pow
er would like to strengthen the au-
thority of the present car. 1t is still
harder to imagine that this divine
power would intervene for such pur-
pose in a manner so indiscriminate
and cruel as cholera epidemic. 1t
is a general rule of intelligent inter-
probation that known causes for HUI
man events should be accepted as
accounting for them rather than I'M
known causes. The social and intel
lectuaf habits of the mass of the Rus
sian people sufficiently explain the
prevalence of cholera in Russia with
out these ecclesiastical conjectures as
TO the unknown and unknowable acts
of the divine power.

CHOLERA AND THE GEAR.

The Russian church now undertakes
to deal with the cholera which Is maxi
ing such awful growth in St. Peters,
burg and other parts of Russia. Pray
ers were officially read last Sunday in
the various churches of st. Petersburg
which describe the cholera as a pun
ishment for the peoples lawlessness.
Law in Russia is bureaucratic de-
cree made with the cars assent. No
thing is lawful in that country that
the car has not approved. The cars
little black pencil is the fountain from
which all Russian law proceeds. The
peoples lawlessness" therefore
means resistance to the will of the
car. 1t not only means this by analy-
sis, but it means this in that larger
sense whereby communities are eX-
horted to be in harmony with their
constituted authorities. The only con-
stituted authority in Russia is the
car. All other authority in that coun-
try is merely delegated power exer-
cised under his command and will.
The notion set forth in the prayers
read on Sunday by order of the Net
ropolitan Of St. Petersburg. namely,
that the cholera is punishment for
disregard of the cars will, means,
therefore, that divine power has in
terWened in Russia 10 sustain the
car.
The peoples sins would be an ade-
quake cause for such intervention,
assuming for moment that heaven
can truly be charged with administer
ing blind blow in the affairs of men,
hitting the innocent and guilty alike,
the native and the stranger, the ba-
bies and those who are old enough
TO be responsible for their conduct.
But If these prayers were confined to
the peoples sins, it would mean their
sin of common ignorance-which the
Russian church has done very little
to cure-their sin Of unsanitary liv-
ing, their sin of immoderate drinking,
and all those sins of social life which
distinguish an incoherent and incap-
able people from a united and cap
able people. This would be conceiv-
able prayer, as matter Of purely hui
man reasoning, because no doubt we
are all sinners more or less against
the elemental and fundamental laws
of the universe, and those who live
In Russia are perhaps as conspicuous
sinners in this line as any of our day.
But to make a prayer of this kind
would be to lose all chance of secur-
ing that political effect which a great
natural disaster offers to those who
maintain their power and authority by
playing upon human credulity and
