WISE OLD Won MOLTKE.

The debate in the Reichstag, an account
OF which appears in this mornings dis
patches, shows that old Won Moltke fully
comprehends the position OF Germany.
He knows and Germany knows and the
world knows hat France wants back
Alsace and Lorraine, and will never remain
content until she can again call them her
own. France is a dangerous enemy, and
no one is more alive to the fact than Won
Moltke. and when he spoke of Germany's
neighbors to the right and to the left as
being armed he spoke by the card. He
further knows that the Car wants his
dominions extendedto Constantinople and
that over 10, OOO,O 900 men are in arms to
achieve the conquest or prevent it. Russia
has 100000 men, Austria 1852, 900,
Germany 1,536,OOO, Turkey 100000,
France 100000, Italy 100000, Rou'
mania 12O 5000, Servia 265,00O, Bulgaria
10000, Greece. 10000, England zoe, 900,
India 772, 600. Here are twelve nations
under arms ais an incident of royal ambi-
ton, and Won Moltke knows they are
likely to be brought into deadly conflict on
account of the ungovernable passion Of
one man, hence his earnest desire for the
passage of the war estimate bill by the
Reichstag. Won Moltke, though old, is wal
wise to an eminent degree.

A Daring Burglary.

MILWAUKEE,. December "A special to
the Evening Wisconsin, from Neenah. says
h morning, at 3 o'clock, two burglars
entered the house of G. M, Hulce, who lives
just outside the city. They c%hloroformed
him, and proceeded to ransack the house,
but Mr. Hulce awoke and had a battle
with them. In the struggle he pulled the
mask off one OF his a~ssailants, and identi.
fled him as q tramp who had hung around
the house for week past. Mr.. Hulce was
alone in the house. The burglars got
about $50 in money, and afterward set
fire to the house, burning it to the ground.
Mr.. Hulce narrowly escaped burning to
death, as he crawled out and laid down in
the snow, dazed from the effects of chloro-
form: His hands were badly frozen. He
laid in the snow about half an hour, when
he was picked up and carried to a neigh.
boris house. The contents of the house
was worth $4,000. and were insured. Mr.
Hulce is quite wealthy, having been up tt a
short time ago a member of the brick-mak-
ing firm OF E. C. Hulce & Co. The burglars
have a good start, and probably will not
be captured.

IN A BLIZZARD.
The Experience Of O. s. West, Who
Was in the Late Storm.

o. 8. West, of Fort Keogh, who has been
engaged by the Smithsonian party now
collecting specimens in this country, got in
FROM their camp on Sand creek last night.
He came in to get transportation at the
fort to bring them in, they having killed
twenty-five buffalo, the requisite number OF
skeletons. He reports a most desperate
time in e~ndeavoring to reach Miles City.
He left tho camp On Sand creek on
the twenty-second OF November to
make Miles City in four days. He was,
however, lost in the blizzard and wandered
without hope of ever seeing civilization
from the 23rd to the 29th, when he reached
Cree's sheep ranch. His experiences were
terrible and as he had dispatches for the
commander at the fort and q large guam
tity of mail from the party and ~despaired
of living to see them delivered. be kept a
diary from which we find that his horse
gave out early; that in endeavoring
to warm his freezing feet he burnt
both his feet; had to cut the tails from his
overcoat to cover his feet; that food and
matches gave out; that a fever set in from
hunger; that after eleven shots at the only
living thing he saw, a sage hen, he broke its
wing and had to eat it uncooked. He ar
rived at Cree's ranch exhausted an slightly
frozen after six days and highs encounter
with a Montana blizzard. His horse, which
was badly fused up" to take to the post

4 FIGHT WITH DEVILS.

FiGhting the devil with fire is employing
his own weapon with which to beat him.
This it appears il what the new organize
ton or party which was formed in Chicago
last Saturday proposes to do. The men
who organised it see q horde OF devils in
Anafchism, Socialism, Communism, ETC.,
and under the name Of the "Patriots
League" will give them battle upon their
own ground. The order or party will
doubtless work a. secretly a. several Of it's
ayowed enemies do. While as q rule secret
political organizations should not be en-
c0uraged there is ample justification in
ism" ridden Chicago for the formation Of
an order whose object is to ~antagonize
and il possible to destroy Anarchism as
exemplified in that city.
Anarchists in this country il the import
ed product of countries where the peoples
ideas Of government, experiences, observa-
tions and conditions are wholly different
from ours. It il the output of impractical
blsdreamers, and malcontents who through
ignorance. l~aziness and evil passions are
incapable to deal with the hard conditions
of life anywhere. In his native land the
anarchist is treated, and looked upon
as q criminal. It is only in free
America where he ia tolerated. But his
dogmas will find no root in American soil
nor flourish under American institutions.
Yet IN anarchist is q dangerous element in
any community. He is a breeder OF mobs
and q defer of the law. Anarchists as q
rule proceed upon the assumption that the
Government and institutions of q country
are the creation of the few, who, from
wealth, position and other Fictitious ad-
vantage, have power to mold and maintain
them for their own benefit, and to the in
jury of those who are born without special
advantages. Where this is true, there is
oppression. But such conditions do not
exist in this country. The poor mans
ballot has the same influence as the rich
mans vote. II poverty is numerically
greater than riches, it has the correction,
so far as it is affected by Governmental in
f1uences, in it's own hands. If it has not
this numerical ascendency, then it's agita-
tions are based on false assumptions.
The truth is, however, that. inequalities
of condition are the result of natural differ
ences which no legislation can rectify. Pow
erty is q disadvantage, but the way out of
it is not through murder and violence. In
this country the poor of OUR generation are
the rich Of another, and the opportunity
for material advancement is the strongest
inducement to industry and thrift. Inca
pacity is an incurable defect, and ignorance
a disadvantage which anarchy will not cor
rect. Society is based upon peaceful and
ustrial conditions. The agencies which
disturb these are fatal to the general well
fare, and humanity everywhere On this con-
tinent is interested in suppressing them.
Mankind cannot afford to have it's only
hope of regenerating the world torn to
pieces by ignorant fanatics. The Patriots
doubtless takes this view of an.
archism, and will, to the extent of it's
power, interpose barriers to the banefu
OF the devotees of this most OBJ |
and infectious ''ism."

''Many are called but few are chosen
That's the way a New York City paper
puts it when publishing the fact that only
two jurymen were found competent to
serve upon the new jury in Alderman
McQuade's second trial, out of 200 OF
more examined. Ignorance and stupidity
now seem to be the prime qualifications OF
a iuryman. The man who reads the
papers and keeps informed upon the cur
rent events OF the day, and who has sufi.
Gent decision of character to think and
form an opinion is not wanted in the jury
box. What a travesty upon justice!
