The district comprises Winnebago, Boone, McHenry and Lake counties. t MB"The Cleveland Plaiudealer makes it very clear that the election in Cincinnati over which opponents of the Republican party have made so much ado was not the result of political but of local issues It was not, says the Cleveland paper, a partisan victory, but a triumph over machine politics and local bossism These are deserving rebuke and defeat, no matter what party employs them. l^The constitutionality of the new Judicial Apportionment Bill, which has ju^t been passed by the Legislature, and signed by the Governor, will be tested in the Supreme-Court. There appears to be some doubt in the minds of good law­ yers whether an election for Circuit Judges held in the f®w Districts created by this act shall be legal, since the emer gency clause was rejected by the Legisla­ ture. According to the Constitution bills passed by the Legislature without the emergency clause do not take effect until the first of July after their passage HST A beet sugar factory has been es­ tablished in Menomonee Falls, Wiscon consiuiat a cost of §300,000.

The Humphrey bills and those who voted for them in the Senate received most terrific cannonading from the news papers of the State almost without ex ception, while those who thus voted for "the bills were handled without gloves, as they deserved to be. It was common gossip at Springfield that the votes of members commanded a commercial tfon aideration, but we could hardly believe such a charge as that would hold good against our grave and reverend Senators There is an impression prevailing, how ever, throughout the State, that our Legislature is not a great credit to the people.--Marengo Republican.

No reasom has been urged to change the belief of the public that nothing but boodle can accomplish this result. All this talking about concessions in the shape of an increase of a few per cent in compensation is Indulged in simply for the purpose of throwing dust in the eyes of the people and paving the way for those members who want to accept bribes, but are anxious to have some ex­ cuse to offer their constituents.

In other words the old political machine with Tanner at the lever is to be made stronger than ever. This is shown in the experience of Wm. Stewart, who was appointed one of the commissioners of thgj^ncoln Park board. Mr.'Stewart thought it best at the beginning to have his exact statue understood, so he went "to Springfield and called on the Governor. He says: 4,I spoke plainly to- Gov. Tanner. He told me he was in control of the state in­ stitutions and that his instructions would have to be obeyed/ I asked him if that wae equal to a command, and the reply was such that I asked him to ac cept-my resignation. 1 gave him to un­ derstand that I wished to perform my duties conscientiously and that I had had experience which would be valuable, but he stated that his instructions would have to be obeyed."
