Apportionment Law Attacked.

The apportionment law of Wisconsin, enacted at a special session of the legislature in February, will be brought before the supreme court for review, and the question of Its constitutionality passed upon. The matter assumed definite form Friday when a petition was presented to the attorney general asking him to request leave when the supreme court meets next Friday to enjoin Secretary of State Casson from carrying the apportionment law into effect. Editor Michael Kruskza of Milwaukee is the petitioner. The case will be argued about Sept. 1. Christ said, “Feed my lambs,” but the plutocrats are fleecing them and the church doesn’t seem to be doing much to prevent it. Let the free silver party organize; when we can see the size and color of the hoss it is plenty of time to talk about swapping. The delegates to the next People’s party National convention will make the platform; therefore look to choosing the delegates. It is costing a good deal to make our money “good in Europe,” but then when we undertake to act the fool why not do it on a grand scale? Not one official out of a hundred who assists in robbing the people'is punished for it, and all because we want harmony in the party, you know. Notwithstanding the daily assertions of the plutocratic papers that the silver agitation is dead, it is today about the liveliest question in American politics.
