ManitoW0c ard the European WARTS
Bad Effects.

lftherc is any community that has suffered
we should like to know it First, among the
nisfor;unes that befell us, was no demand for
cur Western Railroad bonds, as capitalists of
the East would not invest until they could see
how the war was going to terminate, and thus
delayed their negotiation until the railroad
fever here has about died out
Second, our farmers who have long looked
for the high price they would obtain for their
wheat, should the war continue, are now dis
appointed at its sudden end, and feel rather
bad at the low price they are oIercd-s5
cents per bushel.
Last, but not least, was the loss Of our citi-
zens, by the death Of one Of the most popular
dailics, during its day, ManitOwoc could boast
of--thc Daily War Tribune. Springing up, as
it did, il the hour OF excitement, when men
were willing to give money for news, little
caring for its reliability 50 long as they gained
the faintest idea Of what was going on in Eu-
rope With this great advantage before
them, the proprjetors of the daily saw nothing
I
liant career, wealth, and the power a paper
Of such magnitude would command, and they
even silently smiled at the poor PILOT that
has for the past year crcpt along in the
rear Of its cotcmporary. For days, and per-
haps q few weeks Of the six Of its life, they
were under this dclusion before dreaming Of
the change that might come over al their
fond UntiCipations. But it came at last, and
those who saw it first were the twenty cent
subscribers. At first its publication hour was
. o'clock Z. NJ, then $50, $50, and then 7.
This latter hour created much talk, and one
could hear on almost any corner, 1t is dead"
We'll, l expected it,n II am twenty cents
ahead" But we did not mind the cold charity
Of the world; we knew the owners Of the in
FAINT had too much consideration for our peo-
pie to let it die without one word of
warning, and we were right, for at 7:30
o. clock on last Wednesday evening the fumil-
lar whoop of the hoarsc carrier boy was heard
us he came around the corner Of y ork AMI
Eighth streets But So changedi No one
knew it, Instead of four pages of "local
puHa and stale telegraph news, there wore
only two--a half sheet. From that hour it
failed very rapidly, until Saturday evening
when death relieved the minds of all. In con
clusion we must applaud the noble efforts of
the owners to keep the diminutive thing
afoat, who for long time were undecided.
1--WE will, and we won't,
We IL he darnd if we do
And Wen be darn if We don't'
They concluded on the last line
The following is the owners ohitnorv .
printed in the last number:
.OBITUARY--Dicd. on Saturday evening,
in this city, Of congestion Of the-pocket, The
Nauitowoc Daily War Tribune.
''Such is life, While the war in Europe
vas raging our citizens wanted late news, and
subscribed literally to OUT little sheet. But
now, when the war news is mcagre, they don't
want it any longer and We do not care to con-
tinue it
I'VE thank our friends sincerely for the
support they gave it while alive, and would
ask as a special favor that they do not weep
over its demise.
