The new and exceedingly rich strike
made on the, C,tpel mine this week Is at
tracing Q ood Heal Of attention among
miners. Il has been taken for granted
that the Cup,l hsd been worked out and
the mine was abandoned last year, but j.
X. Maekepz;e, the former Superintendent,
recently concluded to prospect the old
workings again, with the result OF finding
the largest body Of ore yet found in this
mine. It is probable that like results
would be found in other mines In this
comfy, which are now called by many
worked out mines, if the proper amount
Of work was done on them. A number
Of these mines, since the grst Of the year
have again been made producers by the
owners leasing them to competent miners
thing which they have heretofore beer
averse to dong. 1t would seem from the
experience Of the year that II 10 exceed
ingly doubtful If a MOhsve county minI
can be worked out"

IT IS a mystery how such shrewd poll
ticians as the republicans In the senate
should present such tariff bill as is now
before that body. 1t Is change of front
near the close of the campaign, while it
does not at all meet the demands of the
people. There was no demand for cheap
er tobacco, but thesenate bill purposes
the removal of the tax from this necessity
1t lowers the tax on alcohol 100000
Has any one heard of any distress be-
cause alcohol was too costly? The tax on
sugar is reduced about one-half, the only
article imported in large quantities the
tax upon which is not subsidy to in
dividuals. Removing the tax on sugar
makes it necessary to put the amount
removed as tax on some other article
of consumption.

THE scholar in politics is making HIM
self felt this year seeing that he has a
question on political economy to fix his
politics. Some weeks ago the writer in
conversation with a professor of the State
University mentioned the fact that few
years ago vast majority of the leading
educators of the state were republicans,
but that it looked as if there was change
He replied that the change was over
whelming and almost complete; that now
when you find leading teacher he is a
democrat with the exception of few who
are prohibitionists.
In line with this comes the news that
Prot L. S. Rogue of the Norwegian col
lege at DEBORAH, Iowa, has accepted the
democratic nomination for congressman
of his district and stands an excellent
chance of being elected. He says that it
is only question of time when the west
viii be solid for tariff reform and that his
countrymen in America are beginning to
see that it is folly for them to expect any
revision of the tariff from the republican
party.
The time is not far off when the Nor
wegians of this country will be prett.

and such men of thought as Prof. Requ
of Iowa and Prof. Anderson of Wisconsin

ROBERT SCHILLING spoke at the Court
House in this city on Saturday evening
last. Schilling is natural orator, full of
fire and vigor and having wonderful facil-
ity of expression. He does not speak
like student so much as like an agitator,
but he is effective. He is hardly logical,
and either has not fully informed himself
on the subjects on which he speaks or
chooses to deal with them specifically.
But there is no man in the country who
can do more with the facts which he uses.
He has passion for debate and did he
choose to appeal to reason and use his
own there are few men in the country
whom he might fear. His powers of in
vectlve and ridicule are simply prodigious
and while he talks he "makes the worse
appear the better reason" If he would
prune his speeches, remove a suggestion
of coarseness in his address, discard a
touch of egotism which crops out oceas-
lonally and try to reach peoples judg-
ment instead of their prejudices, he could
rise to the hight of truly great orator.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday

THE Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday
furnishes table of statistics designed to
show how the soil is becoming more pro-
ductive under the blessings of protection.
One acre yielded as much in 1880
as did one and seven tenths acres in 1860
under free trade. Every farmer in this
county should test the correctness of this
statement. In 1860 and other years
about that period the yield of grain in
this county was on an average % bushels
per acre. According to the increase
mentioned by The Sentinel the yield in
1880 should be 81 bushels per acre, and
at the same rate of increase the yield this
year should be, 391s bushels per acre.
Or in other words the productiveness of
one acre of land in 1888 should be just
about two times as great as In 1860. 1t
Is for farmers to answer this question.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1888-10-11

The SENTINEL of Saturday last con-
tanned an editorial designed to show that
farm property is becoming moro profit
able, and quotes statistics from the CEN
sus compendiums of 1860 and 1880 to
prove its statement correct. Very fortu-
| nately for The Sentinel the years which
it takes are well calculated to show in
| creasing prosperity. 1t is clear to any
one knowing anything about agricultural
amount are SO dependent upon circum-
products, that their value and their
stances wholly beyond the control Of
people engaged in agricultural pursuits
that periods of years must be taken in
order to determine progress or retrogres-
sion. The writer has as good means of
judging the condition OF the farming
community of this county as any resi-
dent of the county, and basing an opinion
on that knowledge, wholly unbiased by
political belief, has no hesitancy in de-
claring that the condition of the average
farmer of this county is much worse now
than ten years ago and is steadily grow
ing worse.
The prices paid for agricultural prod
ucts in 1860 were very low. 1t was a
phenomenal year in that respect. Select
ing eight articles which are staple in this
county, the aggregate price of the unit
of each was 1919. The aggregate price
of the same quantity of similar articles
in 1890, was STAG. An advance of 60
per cent. in price which in agricultural
products is III no wise affected by the
tariff.
Now will The Sentinel compare the
value per acre of products raised in 1887?
Taking the same articles as those select
ed for comparison for 1860 and 1SSO-and
the only ones on which The Pilot could
obtain figures, the aggregate for 1887 is
S13,G}, reduction of almost u per cent.
in seven years.
Had the value of products per acre for
certain years in the decade ending 1870
been taken, it would be found that the
productive value of farms in 1880 as COM
pared with any one of these years of the
sixties, had considerably decreased.
The value of agricultural products is
fluctuating. Compare, for instance, the
price OF potatoes to-day with the price
two months ago. The products of man.
ufactures can be regulated and prices in
consequence have some stability. 1t is
an easy matter to take statistics for
selected years and prove how prosperous
farmers are growing. But this does not
better their condition or change the facts.
Country merchants know quite well how
prosperous the farming community is in
which they do business. Let The Sem
tnel seek the opinion of these men and
quit Juggling with figures and it will get
positive information on the subject of
the growing % prosperity OF the farmer.
The value of farming lands In this
county has decreased fully 80 per cent.
within the last five years. If there was
such an increase in the value per acre of
agricultural products as The Sentinel
would have people believe, would there
be such depreciation in the value of farm
ing lands?

Thus far this has been the cleanest
campaign in the history of American
politics. Figures have been made to lie
and a great many false statements have
been made but the personality of the
candidates has not been dragged in. 1t
is said Doodle campaign is now to be
inaugurated in New York and Indiana.
The purchasable vote of these states
must have the argument made by the
clink of coin.

From the Chicago Herald.
Many women never rest. They
seem not to understand what rest
real rest-means. To throw ones
self down with a newspaper or a book
is not rest; it is only a change OF oc-
cupation. To sit down and keep
the fingers flying over some sort OF
fancy-work, as if one were pursued
by a demon of unrest, is certainly
not rest. But to lie at full-length
on a hard surface, arms extended at
the sides, head back, with no pillow,
eyes closed, all cares and worries dis
missed-this is rest; this will smooth
away wrinkles in face and in temper;
this will give an air ofrepose to the
tired, anxious, nervous woman; this
will take away many an ache and
straighten' our rounded shoulders
and craned out necks. English girls
who are famous walkers are taught
to lie down for few seconds when
ever they come in from their tramps.
If Americans would learn the value
of lying down frequently, say two or
three times a day, they would have
twice as much go ahead and power
to go ahead as they are now famous
for.

Quite as Strange as Fiction.

What a story of a real treasure
island is that which the Japan Week
ly Mail reports. Two million sterling
in doubloons, with no end of jewels
and plate, catched somewhere in the
Pacific by a practical English lieu
tenant, who cut out the brig contain
ing the treasure and slowed away
his booty in a safe place on an I'M
named island of the Marianne group.
The pirates quarreled; the lieuten-
ant, two officers, and cabin boy
fired the ship and fed in a ships
boat. One of the officers was muir
dered before reaching land. The
cabin boy was clapped into prison as
a pirate. The lieutenant and the
surviving officers chartered schoon-
er and went off for the treasure. The
officer tipped the lieutenant over
board, and then, being threatened
with punishment unless he revealed
the place of the treasure, the solitary
survivor filed his pockets with lead
and iron and dropped into the sea,
leaving as the only clue a handful OF
his hair, plucked out in an effort to
save him from drowning, and a chart
of the unnamed, unknown treasure
island. The Spanish authorities hold
the chart, the island holds the treas
ure, and an effort to discover it made
by an English captain, who believes he
has a cluet to the secret, has just had a
mysterious termination. The cap
tain on landing to look for the treas
ure was deserted by his men, who
carried off the ship. The whole story
looks like a variant on Mr.. Steven
sons story by some Japanese journ-
alist of genius. But it may be true
for all that, and if so, we shall not
have long to wait before hearing ota
fresh expedition.
