Daily Democrat Wisconsin school teachers are lo be pension ed after twenty one years service. It is not always the man w ho looks the wisest who knows the most, but most people don't know this, so that it will pay you to look just as wise as you possibly can. Thus far President Harrison has not fallen over his office furniture in his mad haste to appoint representative labor men tooflice.. The only time apparently that the laboting element is fully recognized and estimated at its full worth is when votes arc needed. What ails the spring poet? We have no: re ceived a couplet on this season that generally inspires the muse. No ethereal mildness, no babbling brooks, no feathered songsters, no vernal skies not a line concerning either. Somebody in the White House has a head ache and immediately the cry goes up that a new executive mansion must be built. There is more sickness in the families of men who tail to reach the White House than there among the occupants of that structure. The new governor of AUska, Mr. Knapp, a worthy gentleman of strictest integrity and of kindly and retiring nature, who made i poor country editor and an excellent probate judge. He probably never obtruded a conviction nor made an enesy in his life. But if he governs Alaska well he will speedily have to learn to do both. One hundred years ago to-morrow the first president of the United States was in augurated. The 30th day of April has been declared a holiday for the nation, and will be observed in all parts of the country as such. If it shall have the effect of in fusing the American people with that un selfish patriotism and unalloyed love of constitutional liberty that characterized Washington and the patriots of his day,the observance will not have been in vain. The disastrous defeats which are being meted out to the prohibitionists in the elections that are being had from time lo time seem to them inexplicable. But to a ccol, candid, rational man' there is nothing in these defeats that might not have been expected in view of the very "cranky" policy which the leaders of that party have adopted. First they dtclare emphatically that they favor the entire repeal of internal revenue taxes upon liquors as against re duction of taxes upon the necessaries of life. This is so repugnant to sound sense, good judgment, the best interests of the people, that in the eyes of many voter prohibitionists are to be regarded as a laughing stock rather than a political par ty. Then again their bitter opposition t all license even where prohibition can not be enforced caps the climax of foolishness and puts the party before the public in a very unpopular attitude. This brings de feat. From time to time since Hayes occupied the office of president the country has been gravely Informed of some scheme by which the republican party was going to divide the south and build up a respectable arm of their party in that section. Hayes had his theory which was to use the official patronage in that section to induce respec table white men to unite with republicans. This being in the nature of a bribe.of course it was rejected by a'l decent people Mid none but corrupt scalawags could be induc ed to accept it. Now we are told that through the means of high taiiff protec tion the south is to be brought over, but the people of the south are not protection ists and the foolish scheme wi.l meet with the same failure that has attended the other schemes. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S RELATIVES. It is well known that the illustrious Father ot hi Country left no descendants to perpetuate his name, but there are a few individuals scattered about who point with just pride to the fact that by dint of sheer good fortune they are descended from the ame distinguished stock. The committee having In charge the arrangements for the coming centennial inauguration celebra tion had this latter fact in mind.and decid ed to invite the relatives of the first presl dent to the famous ball. But nothing in connection with that aristocratic affair goes smoothly, and, according to the Washing ton ( riiic, the same bad mess has been made of the invitations as of everything else relating to the great society event based on pedigree. The three nearest living relatlyes of George Washington a-e George Washington Ball of Virginia, Catheron Thompson Ball and Colonel Ebenczer llurgcss Ball, Washington. They are di rect descendants of the family from which Mary Ball, the mother of Washington, came, but their claim Is still further strengthened by the fact that Captain Ball of Millinbeclt married Frances Washing ', ton, George Washington's niece, and it is from this pair that the present Balls are descended. But none of t!ie Balls were Invited by the committee. Mrs. General llancoik was the first to notice the omis sion, and wrote the committee about Colo lie; Ball, who earned his title fighting for the country that his Illustrious relative was the father of. Congressman Owen has also interested himself in the matter.but as yet Colonel fall has received no invitation. Sis.ll grass or sisal heinp is the material out of which binder twine is manufactured. It is not a product of this country and yet the government maintains a tariff unit Will 6ome protectionist tell us w ho is ben rfited in this case ? With a government on the one hand demanding a tax and the twine trust on the other hand with a 'corn, er,' and demanding 21 cents a pound for twine, the far.ncr is between the upperand nether millstones. Will the farmer who 60 ardently voted for protection last fall stop now to think that by his own act he made it possible for this condition of things to exist, and that, upon the principle that everv man 11 presumed to intend the neces sary consequence of his own act, he now has no riht to complain at the hard con di'ion imposed by the twine trust ?
