QIIF.TNESS AND CONFIDENCE.
At this writing the situation affec
ting the relations of the United States
and Spain, are briefly:
The Board of Enquiry into the cause
of the destruction of the Maine, is still
in session. No offioial opinion as to the
cause, or even a hint from any anthora
tive source, has been promulgated. Scare
headlines and guesses without number
are supplied by the yellow variety of the
daily press. The enquiry will be pushed
to the end and will be thorough and ex
haustive, that the guilty, if any there be,
may not escape.
The appropriation by oongress, Mon
day, of 850,000,000, does not mean war,
necessarily or probably, but that we in
tend to be strong and therefore ready to
preserve our country from injury and
secure reparation if need be. These
facts in conjunction with the further
tact that the President promptly declin
ed Spain’s suggestion, not demand, that
General Lee be removed, shows that
McKinley has a settled policy as to
Spain and Cuba, and the courage and
patriotism to exeoute that policy. The
responsibility is his, and the knowledge
his. Our duty is to accord to the Pres
ident unquestioning and patriotic faith
in both his ability and patriotism. Qa <* -
ness ana confidence, should be our mot
to, as is that of the President of our
glorious Republic.
A subject for national congratulation
is the evidence of absolute unanimity,
unalloyed by a single discordant note,
in the determination to maintain and de
fend our national honor. No North, no
South, no Democrat, no Republican—
one and undivided, now and forever.
There is mighty good logic in the
article below from the Hudson Star and
Times. Mr. Frioke is the most thor
oughly competent man who has filled
the important offioe of insurance com
missioner. He ba9 done excellent ser
vice for the state and its people in pro
tecting them from imposition and loss
by insurance fakes. The Star says:
Whatever ese the republican state
convention may do why ought it not to
have good business sense enough to
renominate Insurance Commissioner
Frioke? Not that Fricke is any better
fellow than other two termers, but from
the fact that his trained knowledge and
splendid courage renders him more val
uable to the people of Wisconsin than
any other man who can be named for
the place. Insurance is far more busi
ness than politics, and a man who is
found to be so valuable in it should be
retained by the people as a pure finan
cial proposition, if he will consent to
remain. This suggestion may not be
good politics, but why is it not good
sense? Fricke has made an unusual
record as insurance commissioner, and
brought order out of chaos in his de
partment.
State Journal: Attorney -(leneral W.
H. Mylrea has instituted a rigid inquiry
into the objects and purposes of the
Wisconsin wholesale grocers' associa
tion, which is charged with offending
against the statute forbidding the forma
tion of trusts intended to restrain trade
or to regulate the prices of commodities.
It is alleged that, under the terms of
membership of this association, the
wholesale grocers bind themselves to
maintain certain prices for special com
modities, and that this is especially the
case with respect to sugar, package
coffee, and other artioles on which the
producers have placed a limit price for
the retail trade. Attorney-General Myl
rea has a great deal of evidence in his
possession to prove the existence of a
trust for the regulation of prices, and
the investigation may lead to sensational
developments.
The Fennimore Times, in a strong and
well-written article, announces the can
didacy of Hon. Charles H. Baxter of
Lancaster, Grant county, for the repub
lican nomination for congress in this
district. The many good things said of
Mr. Baxter, especially his record in the
state senate, the Cknbob can heartily
endorse. His faithful work and correct
votes in the interest of the people,
ought to oommend him to the lasting
gratitude of the masses of the common
wealth. Senator Baxter is an able, in
telligent and conservative gentleman.
He would make a moat creditable repre
sentative in oongress. He has been a
leading business man of Laocaster for
more than thirty years, exoept the time
be whs absent in the sevice of his conn
try during the rebellion.
William Guider, was, on Monday, nom
inated for mayor of Milwaukee, by the
republicans. His rival was H. J. Baum
gaertner for the honor. One peculiar
feature of the situation is that the nomi
nee is a candidate on a reform platform
made by his rival. It appears to be
another case of the corporations not
considering seriously what a party plat
form may oontain if they are permitted
to name the candidate. We have two
illustrious examples of this in the state
treasury and anti-pass planks in recent
republican platforms. But “there will
come a day” and an end to this kind of
politics. The corporations feared Mr.
Baumgaertner, but they were willing to
chance Mr. Guider, although he is said
to be a clean, upright and honorable
gentleman.
Mondovi Herald: One year of Mc-
Kinleyiam has ended. A comparison of
prioea is interesting in this connection
Month 4, 1897, oats brought 13 oente,
rye 26 cents, barley 13 cents, corn 17
oents, potatoes 8 oents. Today oats
bring 24 cents, rye 41 cents, barley 29
oents, oorn 25 cents, potatoes 40 cents.
An average of nearly doable the price in
every case, and remember, farmer
friends, the dollar you are getting for
yoar grrin is good for one hundred cents.

Appleton, Wis., March 1: —Herman
Biasing, an old resident and weather
prophet of considerable locrd fame, pre
dicta that war with Spain is inevitable.
He bases his prediction on the fact that
many apple trees bloomed last fall. He
•ays this sign never fails; that it occurred
in the fall of 1860, before the Civil war.
Not since that time have apple treee
bloomed in the fall eo generally as last
fall he aayß, and he has ever since been
predicting war for the United States.

But if you have kidney, liver or bladder
trouble you will find Swamp-Root just
the remedy you need. People are not apt
to get anxious about thc.r health soon
enough. If you are “not quite rrell” or
“half sick” have you ever thought that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
sickness?
It is easy to tell by setting Hside your
urine for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling indicates an unhealthy condi
tion of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate, scant supply,
pain or dull ache in the back is also con
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der need doctoring.
There is satisfaction in knowing that
the great remedy Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving weak
or diseased kidneys and all forms of blad
der and urinary troubles. Not only does
Swamp-Root give new life and activity to
the kidneys—the cause of trouble, but by
treating the kidneys it acts as a tonic for
the entire constitution. If yon need a
medicine you should have the beet.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar, or by mentioning the Vernon
County Censor and sending your ad
dress to Dr. Kilmer and Cos., Binghamton,
N. Y., you may have a sample bottle of
this great discovery sent to you free by
mail.
