An Old Resident Sleeps,

Wednesday morning, many of the citi-
zens of WatertOwn were panied to hear
of the death of Justus 7. Moak, who had
passed away at 3 o'clock a. no. at the
home of his son-in-law, L. B. Caswell.
Dr., in Fort Atkinson after brief illness.
The deceased was born in Sharon, New
York, February 4, 1880, received a COM
mon school education and at thirteen
years of age was thrown upon his own
resources, and in 1854 came to this city
and engaged in the mercantile business
and in 1867 was appointed postmaster
by President Andrew Johnson and held
the office under the succeeding admins
trations of Presidents Grant, Hayes, Gar
field and Arthur, retiring under Presi-
dent Cleveland and was reappointed by
President Harrison, acting until Cleve-
lands second election when he was again
retired from Office, holding the office
about % years in all He was editor of
the Republican, now the Leader, for four
years and was forceful writer having
marvellous command of the English
language and terseness of expression
which attracted attention. Although
his educational advantages in his youth
were limited, he had educated himself
aud was man of fine intellect and great
ability. He held large place in the re-
publican politics in this state, being one
of the party leaders for many years,
which gave him an extensive acquaint-
ance with public men. He was a dele
gate to the national convention which
nominated Abraham Lincoln, and attend
ed many conventions, both state and ma
ti0nal afterward. and was one whose
counsel was sought ia matters apper-
tanning to the welfare and success of
his party. In local matters he had been

the city, overcoming large democratic
majority. He acted as assistant post
master for several years retiring in 1903

and companionable to a marked degree
but uncompromising in his attachments
to party and friends.
The deceased was united IN marriage
with Eliza FL. Pearse September Z. 1853
and enjoyed an ideal domestic life until
a few months ago, when his partner of
nearly go years was called out of mortal

and reared as their own receiving the !

Promising and Fulfilling.

For many years, each platform
of the national democratic party
has contained a plank which has
really become hackneyed, mean
ingiess and idiotic. 1t is the plank
in which with great pretentions,
the party is pledged to an economi-
cal expenditure of public funds if
entrusted with the administration
of national affairs. The congress
which will terminate its existence
March 4, during the last half of
the present session, has been the
most outrageously eAtravagant of
any congress in the history of the
country. The previous congress
was known as the billion dollar
congress, but the present congress
has gone way beyond that figure
While pretending to economic in
small matters effecting the salaries
of few, it knocked in the head of
the pork barrel and filled it full to
overlooking as If money could be
picked up from the bushes. Prob
ably the party was only joking last
fall when it condemned republican
wastefulness and promised rigid
economy and shows that politics is
good deal OF a joke at the best.

Afraid of Themselves.

The members of our state sem
ate must be an easy lot Judging
from their efforts to prevent being
raped by wicked lobbyists. Or, it
may be, that they lack confidence
in each other and feel that it is
necessary to surround themselves
with safeguards SO that they may
not be tempted beyond what they
can stand. The fact is, that the
action of the senate in the matter
of lobbyists is an admission upon
their part, that they are, as a
whole, no better than they ought
to be, and fear for the other fellow.
The whole matter is childish and
puriIe in the extreme and shows
that the members are a mighty
cheap lot, and here, the writer
might say, that the successful lob
byist does not appear upon the
floor of either the senate or assem-
bly,, but has a suite of rooms where
he can meet those above suspicion
and have a quiet talk and arrange
matters to best conserve the people
and their interests. The action oil
the senate is both farcial and phar-
isical and demonstrates the necess-
ity of sending a different class Of
of men to the senate.

antly entertained by talk on the
missions of California" given by Mrs.
H. E. King of this city, who recently
visited those places of interest. Among
other important facts, Mrs. King stated

views of the mission added much to the

The shoe manufacturers are
desperately opposed to a reduction
of the tariff on shoes. A few years
ago they were clamorous for the
placing of hides on the free list,
claiming that il would aid them in
lowering the price of footwear to
the people. Instead of lowering
the price it was increased, and
now, the public is paying consider
able more for shoes than before
hides were placed on the free list
and the manufacturers enriched to
the extent of millions ofdollars an
nually at the expense of the people.
The result and effect of the ptim-
airy election law is being beauti-
fully demonstrated in Illinois. At
the last general election in that
state, William Y. Sherman and I.
Hamilton Lewis received a major
ity of the votes of the electors as
their choice for United States SEN
ators for the long term and to fill
vacancy. The legislature, n
which the democrats have a major
ity, have thus far ignored the
wishes of the electors as expressed
at the ballot box, thus defeating
their wishes as expressed by their
votes. There is a small conting-
ent of bull moosers" elected as
republicans, acting as the dog in
the manger voting for one of their
number and a squad of democrats
defeating the will of the people,
