OLR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
Since our last issue no definite pro-
K l ®* * n the investigation by the board
of enquiry into the Maine disastor, has
made. We anticipate at least a
preliminary report from that body be
fore next pulioation. The position
of this country so far as preparedness
for the worst is concerned has been
strengthened, from day to day, materi
ally and diplomatically. England is as
openly and actively with us as a nation
at peace with Spain can properly te.
The moral approval of the nations of tfce
world is ours in the rightful position we
have taken and our advocacy of the
claims of the Cubans for human rights.
We need no material help. Oar national
policy is—no entangling alliance with
any nation. Yet withal it is pleasing to
know we have the world’s approbation
and can have me serial assistance if we
need it.
Day by day and hour by hour pro 0 f
grove overwhelmingly that we are an
united people and even at the cost of
war, positive proof that the United
States is a veritable fact, as now demon
strated, would be cheaply bought. The
people and the president stand firm and
irresistible in their unity.
No such spectacle in the history of
nations is equal to the unanimous vote
in both houses of congress, given last
week, in appropriating $50,000,000 for
defense.
Tn this connection a Washington dis
patch of Monday, save:
To a reporter Senator Proctor, who
has just reached this city on his return
from Cuba, said last night: “Concern
ing the cause of the Maine disaster, I
feel free to say that suoh information as
I have obtained indicates that the ex
plosion was from the outside. It does
not show that the Spanish government
or any of its officials in Havana were
participants in the crime. In the first
plaoe, I do not think there were any
mines in the harbor. I have not the
slightest knowledge of what the decision
of the naval court of inquiry will be or
when it will reach Washington. Such
information as I have is entirely of an
unofficial character.”
VOTE ON THE CAUCUS LAW.
The new canons law will not be oper
ative anywhere in the county at the
spring elections this year. In the fall,
when delegates are chosen to the county,
congressional and state conventions it
will be operative in Viroqua, but not in
the towns unless it shall be voted on
and adopted this spring. The same is
true in regard to city election. In other
words, the law will not be operative in
the towns at any election nor in the
city at oity election until it has first
been adopted by vote.
\ Sec. 11, oh. 312, laws of 1897. If a
petition signed by ten per cent, of the
duly qualified electors of a city, village
town be filed with the clerk thereof
twenty days before any municipal or
town election, praying that the question
of nominating candidates under the pro
visions of this act be submitted to a
vote of the people, such clerk shall print
3 the official ballot to be used at such
action the question “shall this (oity,
village or town) adopt the provisions of
chapter of the laws of 1897, regu
latingthe nomination of oandidates”-the
arswer of theelector to be “yes” or “no,”
written in the space provided therefor
on the ballot. If a majority of the
electors who shall have voted at such
election vote “yes” all caucuses or pri
mary elections shall thereupon be held
in such oity, village or town as herein
provided.
The friends of Mr. Smith of Viroqua,
need not attempt to prove that their
Vernon county candidate for Congn ss
is not in the LaFollette combine. An
other trip over here and their last hope
would gf> glimmering down the Kicka
poo valley as developments develop.
The above squib is from the demo
cratic Prairie du Ohien Courier. Does
it’s editor really think it a disgrace to
entertain sentiments in harmoov with
the principles advocated by R. M. La-
Follette? As to the political effect, we
respectfully refer the Courier to the
record in state convention two years
ago, when every vote in the third con
gressional district, except the little
county of Juneau, was cast forthenomi
nation of Mr. LaFollette for governor.
Does the Courier, or any who stanu
with it, believe that Mr. LaFollette, or
the principles he is an exponent of, have
lost ground in this diet-riot, or any sec
tion of it, sinoe the convention of two
years ago? If so let them apply the
test and they will find out to their dis
comfiture.
W. A. Jones, of Wisconsin, the pres
ent prompt and efficient commissioner
of Indian affairs, is what the boys would
call in slang parlance a cracker-jack.
The western ranchmen attempted to
bul doze him into accepting six cents
per acre for government pasture lands
when he was offered ten cents. They
hired the president's brother to help
enforoe their demands, but Jones in
sisted on the ten cents. He is the kind
of Jones that sees to it that the right
fellows pay the freight. Wisconsin has
refeson to feel proud of the record he is
making at Washington.—Hudson Star.
When Mr. Jones entered upon his
daties last May, we said: “The Censor
will be greatly deceived if his adminis
tration is not one of the beet in the
whole list of government departments ”
Up to this date his every move has been
in the interest of the people and his
wards, the Indians, as against the plung
ers who seek to feather their own nests.
Mondovi Herald: It is amusing to
witness the war spirit among the old
veterans. They are almost to a man
willing to again take up arms for Uncle
Sam. And just think of it, many of
the old fellows couldn’t scarcely walk a
mile; but their hearts are as young and
their oourage as strong as years ago,
when they marched and fought under
the leadership of Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan. Grand old soldiers! But
your boys and their boys will have to
do the fighting, if any is done now.

, The grand total of insurance carried
io Wisconsin last year fu $292,895,816,
the premiums received were $4,218,525,
and the losses paid $1,600,554. This
makes the receipts above all loesee, the
magnificent sum of $2,617,970. Wis
consin is certainly a favored field for in
