The substantial independence OF the
Canadian provinces has been readily
recognized by British opinion, and if,
at no distant day, formal separation
should be desired, there is little doubt
that the mother country would say, with
much cheerfulness, 6 hayward sisters,
depart in peace" This disposition is
shown by the tone in which the London
Times discusses recent troubles between
the Dominion Government end British
Columbia. It remarks that the econ
federation is threatened with q grave
danger as coolly as it would note an
impending peril in Spain or Italy. 1t

among the nations" and ought to have

sibility." It does Nllot see how the
TBritish1 Colonial office can exercise any
other than moral pressure on the Do.
minion Government" This is telling
American colonies pretty plainly that
Britain washes her hands of their affairs.
Truly the situation has changed in a
hundred years.
AS to the merits of the controversy,
the Times positively awards them to
the side Of British Columbia. In prom

make good the promise, and finally in

province comparatively small sum OF
money in settlement of all demands-in
all this the Canadians, the Times says,
are "playing fast and loose with solemn
engagements, are jeopardizing their
young credit as nation and "are dis

Profits of Soda Water.

The bot weather having subsidized, it
may not be improper to reveal the
profits of the soda-water business. The
cans, containing ten gallons of carbon
ated water, are furnished to the drug
gists at 1926 each. The common soda
tumbler contains about one half-pint.
IF the glasses were filed full every time
the can would furnish 100 glasses OF
soda. AS the glasses are seldom if ever
filed more than two thirds full of water,
the rest being foam, it is estimated chat
each can furnish about 200 glasses of
soda water. One gallon of syrup is esti-
mated to go with can of carbonated
water, although retailers give more.
Assuming that gallon and a half OF
syrup is used, the cost figures up as fol-
lows: Charged can, $2.25; gallon and a
half of syrup, 50. 25; ice cream for cream
syrups, ETC., 60 cents; total cost 200
glasses of soda, S.. At five cents glass
there would 100 per centum profit, and
at three cents a glass there would be
more money in soda than in groceries.

Servia rejects Turkeys proposed extension
of the armistice for eight days, and hostilities
have been resumed. The reason given by the
Servian authorities for rejecting an extension
of the armistice is that the Turks do not faith
fully respect the truce.
The Chinese have come to their senses in
regard to their duties to foreign powers. Not
only have they agreed to make ample amends
for the murder of Mr.. Margary, but they have
likewise offered to- open four more ports to
foreign trade, and to forego the bureaucracy
which was so embarrassing to Ministers and
Consuls. This news comes OPPORTUNITY, since
we need larger foreign markets, and require tea

would allow.

lease from his awful fate being plainly

HustisfOrd st. Bridge.

The city has recently entered into con-
tract for the building ofstwo abutments and
pier for an iron bride over Rock river on
Hustisford street. Two plans aud specifi-
cations were presented for the consideration
of,the Council: one by Street Commissioners
Mertzke and the other By the City Surveyor,
the latter being adopted. Mr. Thomas
Baxter was awarded the contract at 50, $50,
it being $500 less than any other bid. The
abutments are to extend into the river Sc
feet each, leaving two spans of so feet each
between the ahutments and pier, making
the bridge ll2 feet shorter than the present
one. The masonry and filing, although
expensive was found to be cheaper than an
iron bridge covering the same space. When
we take into consideration that the mason
~ and filling of Cady St. bridge with $50
yards less masonry and 1000 yards less fill
ing cost 5000 more, the city may we'll con-
graduate itself upon making SO fortunate a
contract. Mr.. Baxter is one of our most
active business men, having had much ex-
perience in bridge building, and knows
what he is about every time. With his
usual energy and perseverance, he is bound
to come out financially all right.

Friends, however, at Iron Ridge subse-
quently found the dog and shipped him by

A ParsOn on the Run.

Rev. G. S. Hubbs is an an able and elo-
quent preacher, and any one to see his
build would say that he is pretty fair
stopper also He has great many friends
in Watertown, and they are all interested
in his progress, whether in the pulpit or on
the field. The following extract from the
Milwaukee Sentinel gives the reader Sigh:
hint in regard to his last exploit on the
turf, whicE indicates good time for a
good purpose:
AZ the Saturday night train of the West
ern Union Railway had reached a point
about five miles this side of Beloit, stone
was thrown at one of the coaches with such
precision that it crashed through light
and struck one of the passengers. Impinge-
ment on the pane had so broken the force
of the missile that no serious injury was in
hcted. The conductor Immediately halted
the train to overhaul the dastardly villain.
and as the, passengers jumped out, Rev Mr.,
Hubbs, of Clinton, spied the rascal and
sped after him with the feetness of a deer
TO have Hubbs after him was to be overta-
KEN and the minister shortly after led the
man into the train amid the paudits of his
fellow passengers. The culprit was taken
to Clinton and placed in charge of the au-
thorities there. In response to the usual in
quiries, the prisoner gave his name as James
Welsh, and stated that his crime was the
result OF dissatisfaction with some of the
train men for putting him off the cars the day
before, but it is believed that the act was
manifestation of satanic inspiration sine e
none of the employees had dislodged ma
or had even heard Of such an occurrence.
In any event such proceeding would not
have justified the course of Welsh, and he
will be taught that the hurting of stones at
passing trains is a State Prison often Sc.

Re1tlem FRANCES.

Beneath the old church steeple on the bill,
Life dawned upon me many years ago,
And round the quaint old structure fingers
still
A feeling of tenderness aglow.
In boyhood s hours thought the steeple hieh
And round the haIlowed spire there
seemed e spell
Which linked itself TO something in the sky:
A boyish feeling which | could not quell
And there was Father Healey, long since
dead,
The kind good man ho d trct lie on his
knee;
What blessings have heaped upon his head,
For Jumps of sugar which he gave to me.
And then came Father Smith, who loved to
play
Droll tricks upon some little lad or maid !;
lie poured hot water on my feet one day;
And used to tell me that the chickens
prayed.
Then Doctor Norris, too, whose quiet men,
Endeared him to the flock that worshpped
here;
He fingered long: then gently closed the
scene
Ger one good soul on this terrestrial
sphere
With change of years came change OF chris
llan men,
And each in turn would preach the gospel
rue,
Until sat last came Father Corby, when
He thought 'twere well to build the
church anew.
And so be moved this gray old landmark out,
Then on its site he built structure grand;
roomy chapel with its pillars stout;
A towering spire that overlooks the land
The work is done, the last nail driven home,
And proudly now the people enter there !;
pride like that which built the Ephesian
Dome,
Now foudly fingers round this house of
praye:.
The happy children who in days gone by,
Were wont to play around the old church
Are gone: and some in peaceful slumber lie,
Along with other friends whove gone
before.
~ looh pack o er the changes or the past,
And while Saint Bernard's church was
growing old.
Reminds us that the time will come at last,
When from this earth we too must loose
our hold.
The tales of life which this old church could
tell,
Would fill avolume full Of chapters queer:
1t fades away; Improvement says tbs well,
But still there fingers round it memories
dear.

The Oshkosh Shooting fair.

We learn that the man Krall shot by Mr..
Albert Lull is fast recovering. The wound
was only flesh one, and, Notwithstanding
the reports, no serious apprehensions were
ever felt for the recovery of Krall. The
unfortunate affair was the result of u politi-
cal quarrel, and the shooting was partly
accidental, and not even Krall claims it to
be an act of deliberaton on the part of Mr.
Lull. Krall and some others, we under
stand, threatened an assault upon Mr.. Lull,
and to defend himself he took a pistol from
his pocket cooked it, and held it in his
hand. In the encounter one of the men
was thrust against Mr.. L. causing his pistol
to 60 off and the ball struck krall in the
abdomen. AS the true facts in the case are
being understood, Mr.. L. is acquitted by
public opinion of all intentional bodily
harm to krall.

"Fe, ia, fun,
smell the blood OF an Englis Imam"
Our streets have been resonant the last
week or ten days with threats of war and
vengeance. 1t all comes from the supposed
failure of the Democrats to elect Tilden.
What they did not succeed in obtaining by
ballot they talk about achieving with bull
lets. Visions Of post Offices and collector
ships, which have been fitting before the
eyes of the expectant, anxious and hungry
DENIS, have been obscured somewhat, and
the disappointment is very great. "Give US
Tllden," they say, s'or we will have row.
however, that if a fight should come every
mothers son of them would make bee
line for Canada, or take to the woods. We
have heard their gasconade before. 1t
frightens nobody. It's only effect is to make
those INDUCING in it appear ridiculous.
These fellows who talk about getting out
their guns ready for action when the time
arrives for inaugurating a new President
had better crawl back into their holes. A
squad OF boys with syringes or broom sticks
would put an array of these croakers to
| flight. But their services will not be need
ed There is net going to be any tracas.
If it shall turn out that Tilden is elected,
| be will be installed and Republicans will
make no complaint If the result shows
| that Hayes has received majority of the
votes, then he will be inaugurated whethe r
| Democrats like it or not. They may not
wish to see Republicans in possession of the
offices another four years, but that is i'm
| material Brute force is not going to pre-
dominate this time. Bray and bluster will
not win. The sooner these blood and
| thunder chaps make up their minds accord
ngly, the better for them. Let them sub
side at once. They are making fools oil
| themselves, but unfortunately they dom
seem to know it.
