Sometime ago I ho Republican
lad an article advocating thu estab
lishment of a lake and park west of
Fifth avenue on thu north side of

suflioiontly impressed with the ad
vantages it would give thu town to
have a line lake supplied with living
water surrounded by p linogroVo of
timber to take the initiative stop to
rtouuro it. In all probabilities /noet

uould be had ( or thu taxes now

would be but little trouble in scour
ing the funds by subscription if the
natter waa taken hold of by those
in whom" the public would have
conlidunoo of making it a success ,
The article on irrigation by Mr.

This is the year that republicans
should attend their primaries , not
in thu interest of any one candidate ,
but with the view of selecting con
servative men of good judgment as
tn. tlin nnnnt.v cnnv.uil'imi
This ie neoobsary that oem ntant
and worthy persons , such as will
command the ruspuot of tli3 voters
of the county are nominated for
the suvuial county odious , Some of
thu pops concede thnt a nomination
on their ticket this year is pot
t'uivilontto ) ; , an uluctiou. Thu Ke-
puhlinah is disposed to agree with
tliiin ) on that proposition. But in
order that the proposition may be
established as a faotthe republican
party must make no mistake in
their nominations. Our best men
must be selected. On the hnHiw of
the vote on governor last fall the
oposition has 413 moro votes than
were cant for Dietrich. Poyntor
only hadk108 moro than Dietrich
while the mid-road candidate had
104 ; prohibition , 125 ; and socialist ,
10 , While it in not at all probable
that all Ihotio who did not vole fet
Dietrich will vote for thu populist
nominees , it is well to be liberal in
making our estimate of the strength
of the opposition. Voters are uot
actuated so much by political
prejudice as they were a few years
ago. If the republicans exercise
wibdom in their selections for
standard bearers they will have a
chance of electing some or all of
their candidates. But wo can not
afford to put up a "weak brother"
art a prominent populist oillod one
of their nominees. Too often dele
gates are influenced more by thu
candidate being a residont'of their
precinct than by the qualifications
and strength of the can ( idate. We
hope in thp oonuug convention that
local pride will bo entirely ignored
and that the only controlling dcnira
shall be to nominate for each ollico ,
regardless of whether ho is from
my precinct or yotirn , the most
Dnp.thlu and worthy. The best men
wo hnvo will command the respect
and support of the best men of all
partioH nnd nnlcHit wo succeed in
sheeting the bent men our county
affords wo cannot hope to bo suc-
c HHful. It will bo time enough to
award our ft lends , uftur wo have got
"out of thu woods. " Wo cannot
afford to attempt to do it now , un-
esri thuy should uhanoo to bu the
most popular and fully qualified.
As the good work must commence
at the primaries ever ; loyal republi
can should attend and see to it that
jvory township is well represented

An Uxplaiuation.
, hi a recent istiuu of the Republi
can we , in making note of tbo fao
the pnblishurs of Custur county hat
agreed to charge legal rates for a !
classes of legal notices , said :
"The officials and othois who
furnish this clann of printing hav
invariably , as far as wo have beoi
able to learn demanded and rocoiv
ud all the law allows them. "
Wo understood that someone ha
iutorpetud that to mean that th
"officials aud others" have reooivet
legal rates for the printing the
papers have done. The article doea
not convey any such moaning from
the fact the law does uot proscribe
a rate that "ofiioera aud gibers"
shall receive by law for printing ,
but it does prescribe thu salaries
and fees that "ollioials and othors"
may charge. As far aa wu know
nil oth'cers or others whoso salaifioa
or iocs are regulated by hw , chaije
all the law allows them. We
satietied that it has been thu/ous-
toiu ol the sheriff , judge aiuV law
yers aud others to pay the publishers
of I'-gal notices ths eamo as they
chsrgo up to their clients , whether
it uas one-half or one fourth of the
Ip al rates ; but while the pub
lishers accepted u reduced rate for
their work , tliono riirnislnng the
nolicen , whether county hoard ,
county oIliocrH or anyone else ,
whoNo foes aro. regulated by salary ,
charge and receive "all thu law
Hews them" for their work.
Our contention is that as long as
11 olherH whoso IV'JH and salaries
re lixed by law charge aud receive
II thu law allows them that newf- >
lapfer publishers should rociovo
ugal rates for their work.
No Tariff With Porto llluo.
President Mcltinluy has uboliah-
d Porto Rican tariff duties in a
iroelamatioti iasuod by him on the
5 til of July.
Thu proclamation is headed :
"Cessation ot Tariff Porto
lico. " It recites that the act of
\pril 12 , 1000 , olhonviso known as
he Foraktr act , provided that
whenever the Porto llioan legiala-
uro emoted and put into operation
system of local taxation to meet
ho needs of the government and
> y resolution BO notified the" Presi-
lent , the lattur should issue a proo
amatioii , and nil duties on goods
Kissing between the United Slatea
inu Porto Rico should ccasu.
As thu legislature has complied
with tl'at requirement of the act in
onus set out in the resolutions
which are quoted in full in the body
of the proclamation , that document
"Therefore , I , William McKin-
ey , president of the United States ,
u pursuance of the provisions' of
aw above quoted , and upob the
'oregoint ; due notification , do herc-
) y isdiie this my proclamation , and
do declare and make known that a
civil government for Porto Rico
las been organized , in accordance
with the provisions of the said act
of Congress.
"And I do further declare and
nako known that the legislative
of Porto Rico has onaoted
and put into operation a system of
ocal taxation to meet the nccessi
ties of the government of Porto
Rico. "
The act of congress in placing a
tariff tax on the imports of Porto
Rican goods to the United Status to
provided a revenue to meet the ex-
Census of its own government until
a local tax could l > e levied , was a
wisu and just measure. The goods
that were exported from the island
were practically in the hands of
speculators who had accumulated
them in largo quantities with a
view of exporting them free. It
worked ro hardship on the pro
ducer and provided a revenue to
moot the expoiiHo , of the island that
would have had to boun mot by this
government had not the 4tax boon
imposed. Now that a Porto Ricai
government has made provisions
for a local tax for that purpose , the
origiiial plan oi free trade advouat
od by President McKinley can ant
lias boon inaugurated. i

July 20 , 1901.
In a reoent interview in the Mil
waukea "Wisconsin" Mr. George L
Rois'superintendent of the Illinoi
Stool Company , uays :
I bohvo in a Tariff wethor w
need it or not. liven if it does no
good , what harm does it do ? N (
prolit ban been made on the iroi
aud steel goods that have been nok
aboard. They havu been sold a
cost to got rid of a surpuls aud to
win a foothold in the foreign mar
ket. England had thu trade all to
herself and she charged much high
er profits than wg did hejo. Now
shu haa been obliged to sell below
cost to keep her market. She can
not stand the pace. When custom
on * aboard learn to like our goods
they will buy thorn at fair prices
and wo can aoll at a prolit. W
can make iron and steel product
oiieaper than they can. But I bo-
livu in a Tariff just the aarnu. I
insures us a homo market under al
Jonditions. if the manufaoturie
cannot soil their goods , th
workmen suffer , Trusts give bet
'ter wages and cheeper goods , N
oiiu is disapoluted but the politic !
BUB , aud they want votes.
This is the case of domestic vs
export prjfu-H In n nut hhcllt No
better reason could bo asked or giv
en for Uio sale aboard of surplus ,
irou and ntcol products at n lower
price tlian that prevailing in the
domestic market. When Hiioh
products are thus disposed of with
out profit to the niRnufactueroH , ro-
sullH cninontly- | desirable nro ob
tained. First , the securing of now
markets ; Hc-cond , the disposition of
surplus produotH witbcut lose , oven
if without profit ; third and most
important of all , continuous and
unhrokot ) employment of American
labor , which in the uvent of an tin *
markctakk1 surplus would find itself
without employment during the
poroid r. quired for exclusively
domestic consumption to overtake
domestic production , An indus
trial ami commercial policy which
keeps Amerijau labor employed at
high wages and gains new outlets
for American manufactures harms
no one and benefits a vast number
of people. Nobody is "complaining
of the practiojil workings of such
a policy that is , nobody except
free- Trade malcontents and Mug
wump theorists , and they ought note
o count for much. Certainly do-
icstiu consumers and domestic
wage earneis do not complain.
Mioy are quite satisfsed to leuvo
bo Tariff alone and go on with
bings as they aro. American
