In Germany and in Wisconsin

It seems little odd that the Ger
man Lutherans of Milwaukee, born
and reared in Germany, should
change their views as to right and
wrong so radically when they reach
this country In their old home
education was compulsory, and was
in the language of the country.
They never protested against it
there Why should they here where
we have borrowed that German idea?
The control of the German State
over children in the free schools is
carried much farther than here.
The parent has absolutely nothing
to say. There ale no optional stud
les which he may have his children
learn or not as he pleases. Were he
to attempt to interfere with the
States course Of instruction he would
soon find himself in hot water. SO
far does the State carry its guardian
ship that intelligent parents who
have tried to supervise their child
ren's home lessons have been direct
ed by the school officials to stop it,
as their methods did not always
quite correspond with the States
regulation ones. Lutherans in Ger
many do not protest. They do not
talk of the natural or divine right of
the parent to control the secular in
struction of his child. Why do they
lay so much stress on it here? Is
there one set of divine rights for
Germany and another for Wisconsin?
| When Bismarck undertook to con-
troll the course of instruction in Ro-
man Catholic seminaries, where
young men were educated for the
priesthood, did the German Luther
ans protest? Not at all. They
agreed with Bismarck that the priest
should be so secularly educated that

as IT too much to ask of the &C.
clesiastics who are the head and
front of this opposition that in re-
turn for the exemption of their
church and school property from
taxation, in return for the liberties
guaranteed them, in return for the
concession that they may have ex-

their children-that they themselves
shall teach these children the ele-
ments of reading, writing, ciphering

Election Under the New Law.

The new election law, generally
known as the Australian law, and in
this State as the Cooper election law,
went into effect in this, and all the
incorporated cities in this State on
Tuesday of last week. This city had
its first experience under the new
voting process and the workings of
the system were quite as satisfactory
as expected. 1t is probable but few
definite opinions had been formed of
the law before it was given trial. It's
methods of proceeding were entirely
new in this State, and if any voter
supposed he was put to inconveni-
ence by following the prescribed
routine in depositing his vote, he
must have felt more than compen.
stated by the assurance that he was
exercising his political rights at an
honest and fairly conducted election
where there was hardly possibility
of misleading if the law was fol-
lowed. The election here last week
had no resemblance to former cleo
tons, municipal or general, such as
they have been conducted since the
memory of man. Owing to the in
experience or carelessness of those
having the registered lists in charge,
some inexcusable mistakes occurred
which were no fault of the law, but

Rally on the Colors.


The manner in which the Bennett
law was given birth may be brought
into question, but the objects and
aims of the Bennett law are all
right. That law was enacted by
legislature overwhelmingly republi-
can and the republican party is re-
sponsible for it. With a slight a.
mendment it should remain on the
statute books as long as Wisconsin
has place in the galaxy of states.
The republican party should not en-
terrain the thought of turning its
back upon that law. 1t may be that
certain individuals, it may be that
certain classes, it may be that certain
religious denominations, are bitter
ly opposed to the Bennett law, its
principles. its objects, its aims. but
is that any reason why the law,
which provides that every child shall
receive the benefit of instruction in
the language of his country, at least
three months in the year, is un-
American, is detrimental, is wrong?
The republican party has rot
made the Bennett law an issue. The
democratic party, willing under any
circumstances, and all circumstances
to do anything, or everything, that
promises to give it little temper
airy benefit, has said to those who
do not like the Bennett law, "come
to US and we will pledge you that
we will put forth our best endeavors
to repeal the law Has there been
time in the past thirty years, IN
the history of the democratic party,
that it has not shown disposition
to do anything, no matter how dis
honorable, no matter, how contempt
lble, no matter how disgraceful, for
the sake of gaining victory at the
polls? Better, thousand times, that
the democratic party win temper
airy victory by such degradation than
that the republican party prevent it
from winning such victory by get
ting still lower in the mire than the
democratic party has shown a will
lingness to GO. The issue has been
forced upon the republican party
Let that party face it bravely, with
out sign of hinching. Let the col
ors be surrounded by men known
for their bravery, for their manhood,
for their devotion to the party, for
their faith in .our common school
system, and then carry them to the
front and let there ring out an order
to rally on the colors. The republl-
can who is unwilling to rally on the
colors, under such circumstances, in
campaign fought on one side by
the democratic party, which for thirty
years, has had only spoils in its eyes
and has always been willing to wal
low in the mire for votes, needs brac-
ing up. Let there be no skulking in
the coming contest in Wisconsin.
Let every republican who has the
courage of his convictions take his
place in line of battle as private in
the ranks or an officer of high or low
degree, with fixed determination to
fight as he never fought before, and
that defeat in such cause is a
thousand times more honorable than
victory achieved by crawling on
their bellies in the mire of degrada-
ton. But the republican party will
not be defeated. This is America,
and the party that stands up in a
square-toed, manly, courageous way,
in defense of the right, is the party,
that will win SUNDAY Telegraph.

TULARE, Gala, Jan. 2l.-The south
bound passenger train was stopped by
W o masked men seven miles north of
Tulare. The robbers climbed over the
tender to the engine and compelled the
engineer to stop the train. They then
compelled the engineer and fireman to 90

open the door. The amount taken is not
known, but it is rumored that it amounted
to several thousand dollars. The robbers
made the engineer and fireman accom-
pany them some distance from the train.
A tramp stealing a ride was mistaken for
a trainman and the robbers shot him in
the head. He was brought here and
may recover. There is no trace of the

The hypnotic experiments being
made in st. Louis have demolished the
popular idea about mesmerism; that
is, that the person of strong will can,
by simply exercising it, influence the
weaker will. That is untrue, to a great
extent The person of the weaker will
can hypnotic him of the stronger
will if the subjects consents to submit
himself to the influence of the opera
tor. In our st. Louis experiments we
have found that those accustomed to
obedience sink more quickly into the
hypnotic state and give the best results
when they are ~hypnotized. They are
in the habit of subordinating their
own wills to those of others, and so il
is easier for them to yield themselves
entirely to the commands of the per.

Just come up to Sundance if you

vice given by James McRae yesterday.
Everybody knews that Sundance is the
big coal point OF the Burlington. in Wy
omIng, and nearly everybody knows that
1t has sprung up to be a lively town in a
mighty short time, but everybody does
not know that it ID going ahead still at a
great rate. and that it is not BY apy
means dependent ON coal for its beng and
prosperity. The latter points are those
upon which Mr.. McRae dllates with great
pride. Furtherm gre, be wants it under
stood that he hasn't any corner lots for
sale. because he doesn't live in Sundance.
He speaks only from the fullness of his
great overlooking Wyoming heart.
Its the town in that REGION" said he.
"~Sundance doesn't seem to be exactly the
kind OF name for a place to have that
ever expects to get big, but then, you
know, we don't do things the same as
other people in Wyoming. The mines
around there are of extent and
richness, and are capable of indefinite de-
velopment. Coal can be supplied to Ne
braska and Kansas in any quantity, of the
best quality and at way down prices. The
resources are only beginning to be known,
but sharp fellows are pouring in and it
won't be long till they surprise people"

Ell PAso, Jan. 2l.-The town of Paso

NJ. G. Goss, agent and general yardmas-
ter of the Mexican Central road, of that
city, was passing a train that had been
made up to go south, he discovered that
a seal on a box car door had been broken.
He opened the door and found the car
loaded with railroad ties, and slowed away
among and on top of the ties were twenty
four bales of cotton cloth, each bale CON
tanning from ten to twelve bolts. The
goods we're worth upwards of 81. 900. He
immediately reported the discovery to the
Mexican custom authorities and the goods
we're seized and will be confscated, Mr..
Goss receiving one half their value. The
conductor and train crew were arrested
and imprisoned but released later in the
day, it being ascertained that they we're
innocent and that a man named Moth OF
Moss owned the goods, and is supposed
to have broken the seal and struggled the
goods into the car.

dent has sent to the senate a report made
by General Crook and Lieutenat Howard
upon the condition OF the Apache pris-
oners at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala.
The president recommends that provision
be made for locating these Indians upon
lands OF Indian territory, and says: Some
of these Indians have rendered good
service to the government in the pursuit
and capture of the murdered band that
followed Geronimo. 1t is a reproach
that they should not in our treatment OF
them be distinguished from the cruel and
bloody members of the tribe now confined
with them.
The president has also sent to the senate
a memorial prepared by a committee of
the American Association for the Ad
vancement Of Science relating to the
preservation of forests upon the public
domain. The president approves of the
sentiments expressed in the memorial
and recommends that legislative measures
be provided to prevent the rapid and
