Concerning Street Improvements.

To THE. EDITOR OF The WISCONSIN To-
BACCo REPORTER
Permit US to congratulate you upon
your editorial in your issue OF Aug. 18th,
'sLet the People be Heard
The people should be heard upon such
an important question, as our interests
are mutual, and why should our city
council railroad through a project OF
such vast Importance, simply upon their
own Judgment and without consulting
the wishes Of those upon whom this bur-
den is to be thrust.
We doubt ii there is taxpayer in Ed
gerton who opposes good roads or who is
not willing to pay his share toward them,
but there are many who are opposed to
the method as it has been proposed.
Let the people know something about
the various methods, as we'll as the kinds
of roads and permit them to feel that
they have not been ignored altogether.
We want a metropolitan city and we
are willing to pay our share toward it,
but not under the system suggested.
Why should few councilmen be al
lowed to incur debt upon poor labor
ing man, who has nothing in this world
but his home, and that probably not
paid for, who is working at $l5O or ST.
per day, maintaining his family and pay
ing for his home out of those earnings?
We know OF several who will be obliged
to mortgage their homes to meet this
obligation.
Now, let US see who will derive the
benefits. Why, those who use the roads
most, viz, the lumber and coal dealers,
delivery wagons, liverymen. the ice
wagon, the brewery wagon and the to-
bacco dealers. Why should they be ex-
empt from paying their share OF this
debt?
Good roads are public benefit and
should be paid for by special tax levied
upon all the taxable property of the city
and not by few of the property holders.
And il the council persists in the method
suggested, they will be very liable to get
into htigatio.., aud the work will be de-
layed, pending the decision of the courts.
We do not want any more experiments,
such as the city has had buying stone
crushers for the accommodation OF in
dividuals or building the reservoir.
Let the people be heard. Let the tax
payers have say, and do not let those
who pay no taxes tell the city what kind
of roads we shall have nor dictate who
shall pay for them.
We shall be glad to hear from others
who are interested in this very impor
tant move. We assure the citizens OF
Eogerton that we stand for good roads
and are willing to pay our share or the
taxes to get them.
Respectfully yours,
Wilson Bros.

An immigrant who declares that he II the
Rev. Stefan Bozikovio, a clergyman Of the
Eastern Orthodox or Greek Church Of
Servia, IL held at Ellis Island under sus-
picion that he is an undesirable. He ar
rived by the North German Lloyd steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse on Tuesday and
was met at Quarantine by an immigration
inspector who told him he was wanted at
Ellis Island to explain some accusations
made against him In letters and affidavits
from fellow countrymen In Chicago. One
affidavit, made by man who says the priest
boarded with him at house In Superior
avenue, Chicago, says that for several
months Bozikovio preached at l82 Ninety
first street, Chicago, and that he advocated
the overthrow Of this Government by force.
The affidavit maker said he turned the
lutionary sentiments. The priest in pre-
liminary examination said that he was born
in Croatia In 1870; that he never had any in.
tention OF becoming a citizen OF the United
States. that he had had no quarrel with the
maker Of the sffdavit. He had spent more
than year in MoKeesport, Pa, and ten
women Of his faith. He declared that he
does not believe in the removal Of govern
ment officials or the overthrow Of govern
ments by force. The priest has the impress
sion that the accusations against him are
inspired by men who were on the other side
OF Church quarrel In which he had become
involved.
Commissioners watohorn said the depart
ment would investigate the accusations
fully before submitting the matter to Wash
ington for decision.

the decision made by Judge Edwin r. Cooh-
ran In the Municipal Court a few days ago
that negroes should not be alluded to in hs
court with the prefxes Of -Mr..' Mira Or

in doing this after being warned, Judge

In default Of the fine Brooks was COM
mitted to the workhouse and his counsel
applied for his release on writ Of habeas

Of the action by remitting the fine, but Judge

Judge Cochran had no more right TO make
such a ruling applicable to negroes in his

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS
Adopt Shortest Platform and Adjourn Con
vcntion In Favor or Primary.


MnwAUKER. July 2s.-The Wisconsin
Democratic convention to-day adjourned
after adopting the shortest platform on rec
ord without selecting a single candidate.
The Democrats had since the passage of
the primary law defed it and had selected
their candidates In convention. This year
they expected to do the same. but the hope
Of selecting a harmony ticket vanished
when the old personal war between John
Aylward and Daniel Grady reappeared and
prevented the expected unanimous nomina-
tion OF Aylward. In view OF this it was
decided not TO nominate In convention. but
to make the selection OF ticket at the
primary.
A pathetic feature Of to-day's convention
was the reading Of the speech Of temporary
Chairman NJ. A. Cleary, who was notified
Of the sudden death OF his mother Just as
he was about TO take the platform. With
his audience ignorant of conditions he
went through the ordeal and did not give
way to his feelings until the end.
