factories and in fact in every way
toward the Improvement of the con-
ditions of men employed in large man
ufacturing institutions. It is the
claim of the representatives of the
working men that the members of the
Wisconsin industrial commission have
given very careful attention to the
questions which have been presented
to them and that the results of their
work have always been given in the
form of decisions which were based
not only on good Judgment, but upon
careful study. of the conditions.
In fact, if the statements of the la
Dor representatives who have been
here are to be believed, it would be
an unwise political move for any poll
teal party in the state of Wisconsin
to attempt to secure the abolition of
the Wisconsin Industrial Commission
or to break down the powers which
that commission now enjoys as re
CARDS the regulation or control of Ia
Dor conditions. It is claimed that in
no state in the union have members
of the labor commission been more
faithful in their work and study of
questions before them than have been
the members of the Wisconsin commits
sion. It is said also that political ex-
pediency has entered very little into
the work of the Wisconsin Industrial
Commission and that the commission
has been practically free from politics.
Gov. McGovern will have an appoint
ment Co this commission to make early
n July, when Prof. J. R. Commons
will retire from the commission. 1T is
generally understood that former State
Senator A. w. Sanborn will be APP

WANT FEES DIVIDED.
Clerks of Circuit Courts Ask Special
Statute for Naturalization Fees.

Clerks of circuit courts OF judicial
circuits of Wisconsin are urging the
passage Of a bill by the state legisla-
ture, which will give to them one-half
the fees collected for the issuing Of
naturalization papers, and today a
committee, representing the clerks of
courts, went to Madison to lobby for
the bill, which is soon to be reported
for passage or rejection.
In most judicial circuits of the state
the clerks are working under the sal
ary system and all fees collected 60 to
the counties in which they are serving.
1t is held by the clerks, those under
the salary system, that while ali fees
collected for service on papers fled in
the court should be paid to the court.
the fees received for issuing natural
cation papers should not go to the
county, but should be divided between
the government and the clerk of the
court making out the naturalization
papers, because the work is extra to
that to which the clerk was elected
It is claimed that government officials
have held that court clerks and not
the counties, should have such fees.
II the legislature should pass the
bill it would mean much to the court
clerks as each year there are, in the
majority Of counties of Wisconsin,
scores of applicants for citizenship
papers and each applicant must pay
ST. for the first papers and 81 for the
second papers, a total cost of $500.

NICoLAzzo ASKS DAMAGES.
Troubles of Garibaldi Society to b,
Aired Further in Circuit Court,

The circuit court is to hear more Of
the troubles of Gregorio Nicolazzo and
the Garibaldi Society as Nicolazzo has
filed a suit in the circuit court nam
ing the society as defendant and de-
handing damages to the amount Of
$3.50. This he claims for costs of a
former action to secure his re-instate-
ment in the society and for sick bene-
fits which should have been paid to
him during the years he was kept out
of the organization. Nicolazzo won
his original fight against the organi-
cation and it was instructed by the
court to reinstate him as a member.
The society in an answer to the pres
ent suit re-opens the entire question as
to the right of Nicolazzo to member
ship or to participate in The benefits
Of the organization. Thu case is to be
tried by Judge Belden at the June
term of the circuit court.

If the plans of the park commission.
ers and the park superintendent are to
be successfully carried out, the first
thing that will have to be done will be
to convince all people that the flowers
and shrubs put in the parks for the
enjoyment of everybody, must be let
alone, even though it is necessary to
make few arrests to drive home that
knowledge. The cemetery association
went through just such fight but fin
ally impressed upon the petty thieves
who had been in the habit of robbine
the graves and lots of flowers and
shrubs placed there, that they could not
operate safely in the cemetery. The
park commission will have to deal with
some people who rather carry the idea
that they can steal from the city with
impunity but it will have to convince
the thieves who have been robbing the
parks that city property is just as
sacred as that of an Individual if there
is to be any permanent benefit from
its efforts to beautify the public parks

of $23,476. This money came into his
hands as chairman of the state mon
uments commission to be used, among
other purposes, for the erection of
monuments to mark the resting places
on the field Of Gettysburg of the
brave soldiers who fell in defense of
their country and to provide for a
celebration upon the field Of Gettys-
burg In which those living might par
ticipate, at the states expense, in a
fitting manner.
General Sickles appropriated this
amount to his own use. This he has
attempted to justify or defend, admit
ting that he took the states money
for private use without authority of
law, an act, which under our laws, and
under the laws Of all civilized govern
ments means stealing. He was given
his own time to repay this amount
and that time was extended at his sug-
gestion without any desire to embar-
rass him, and with the full apprecia-
ton of the claim which he has upon
the nation for the great services he
rendered in the rebellion. These serv.
ices cannot be over estimated, but
even the fame of the soldier must not
be used as cloak or protection for
the commission of crime, and 1t is
nothing less than misdirected sympa-
thy to undertake to 80 confuse the
questions involved, as to make an or
binary prosecution for a crime seem
like persecution and to elevate as a
martyr a person who confesses his
dereliction.
New York State appreciates her
heroes and feels Inundated at the
spectacle which this case presents.
New York also respects her law and
seeks to enforce them in a spirit of
equality to all.
Il trust this brief statement of the
facts will show you how erroneous
have been your views, how misplaced
your sympathy and how misdirected
your criticism"

Lake Providence, La, Jan. 30.-The
grand jury Wednesday afternoon

and he said he believed Mrs. Booth
should be indicted. Mrs. Booth will
