Pronounced INSANE.


The trial, or it might better be call
ed examination, Of W. II. McCann,
for the murder of Robert kirkwo0d at
White Birch i'll August last, came to a
close last Monday when the jury chos-
en- to consider his sanity, decided that
he was now, at least, insane. McCann
was thereupon committed to the
Northern Hospital for the insane at
Oshkosh. If by medical treatment he
is cured. and 1t is shown that his in
sanity is not of a permanent nature,
lie will be sent back here for trial for
the apparently deliberate murder com
mitted. 1t is not likely, however, that
he viii be convicted of murder.

The ESoad Question

| We have received from Mr.. Albert
\. Pope, of Boston, copies Of peti-
tion TO congress asking for the estab
lishment of Il Road Department Of the
general government, similar to the de
partment OF Agriculture, with a view
to studying best methods and plans
for giving the country good roads. MI.
Pope wishes everybody to sign the pc
tition and have the same returned to
! Washington by the first of January.
We are III hearty sympathy with Mr.
Pope on the matter of good roads and
agree with him that we need more Of
them, but we cannot agree with him
that we ought 10 make it a national
issue in the manner lie proposes, If
it can be shown that I government Of
fetal is necessary or even desirable to
the building of good roads, then let
our Secretary OF Agriculture spread
himself over the road problem also and
perform such duties as Il Secretary Of
Public Roads would be required to per
form. 1t is a subject that might very
properly come within the jurisdiction
Of Secretary Rlsk and his Successors,
but we are decidly opposed to the crea-
ton of any more such bureaus. Then
again we do not think it would be just
right for the government to NEEDLE in
these matters Each state should look
out for its own roads. Some state or
ganiZation in this direction might
work much good, but we think if each
county would take hold of the matter
in and for itself the greatest good
could be accomplished. The state law
! should be SO amended that al poll
! taxes should be paid III cash only, and
/ the money expended on the roads Icy
some county official who should give a
detailed account of every cent collect
ed and expended. The people could
I then reach and remedy these cases
where from $500 to 5000 are required TO
! build .25 bridges or where 500 is eN
/ pended for doing so worth Of grading.
! Our present poll tax and road system
! is Il great farce.
/ Douglas county is III the extreme
! corner of the state. Now let us go to
work and make one Or two good
trunk roads through the county
with several good side roads leading
/ into all portions of the county, and
! how long would it be before the coun-
/ ties joining us would catch the inspir-
alton and carry through their terri
/ tory the system we had taken to their
/ borders. This can all be done without
keeping some costly official in Wash
! ington who knows no more about
building road through Douglas
county swamp than a cat knows about
Greek. Ey all means give us good
roads and enough of them, bat let it
be done through our own engineering
and efforts. II we expect to clvilZe
and populate this county as it ought
10 be, we must have some good roads,
ana the sooner We set about making
them the better.

ever been accomplished without the accom-
panylng infiction of some loss and suffer-
ing. 1t is safe to conclude that when the
Government finds its hands free once more,
measures of greater vigor than were ever be-
fore adopted will be brought into play to
secure the complete and final elimination OF
the Hebrew element from the territories OF
the Gar.
Repugnant to American Ideas.
We Americans, living as we do under
free institutions, cannot iadorse any kind
of political persecution, nor do in any
sense desire to place myself on record as an
advocate of intolerance. But we should re-
member that we are not in Russia, and
hence, should be slow to reject without
hearing the views entertained by q great
majority of the very best grade of its in
habitants.
In tracing the causes of the present dis
tress it is also impossible to ignore the
decisive part taken in augmenting the suf-
fering of the people by Daurnovo, Minister
of the Interior, who is a terribly aggravated
type of the Russian bureaucrat. Public
opinion-so far as it can find expression on
such matters-is practically unanimous in
Russia in demanding his removal from
Office. Devoted to pleasure all his life and
holding personal qualification before the
call of duty, Daurnovo is just the man cal
culated to complicate things in moment of
national calamity. He has no faith in per-
sonal sacrifices in the cause of humanity
even applying such principles to the dis
charge of his official duties, which he per-
forms in the most perfuctory manner Short
Office hours, and as little trouble as possible,
is his motto.
An Instance of Daurnoyo's CareIessness
AS an instance q story is told of him in
certain circles in st. Petersburg. When
the famine first gave signs of its approach

Methods of Shylock.
-Four times afterward - each time in
answer to different complaint-a pristave
was detailed to investigate the case pre-
sented against Isaac Abramoff, Nicholaief
usurer. Each Of these pristaves reported
at length that there was nothing whatever
in the complaint. The thing was plain
enough; Mr.. Abramoff had bought off each
individual pristave in turn. A fifth COM
plant was made; fifth mandate for in
vestigation came from st. Petersburg, and
a fifth police officer was put on the case
But, unluckily for Abramoff, this latest
official was detailed from different police
district of Nicholaief than that to which his
predecessors belonged A jealousy, it ap-
peared, existed between the two police dis
tricts and the fifth complaint anyway,
landed the usurer in the predvaritelny
zakhouchenie, or House of Detention, where
he will probably remain for an unlimited
period.
Meanwhile, patriots shake their heads
ominously, and say despondingly that if
foreign aid does not prevent the extinction
by want Of fully two-thirds Of the popula-
tion of the provinces the maddened sur
vivors will cast away all restraining con-
siderations and plunge into open revolt.
Revolution would probably entail a sacri-
fee of life as decimating as the famine it
self, but whether it would succeed in over
coming the existing constitution or not can
be merely conjecture.
One thing admits of no argument and
that is the magnitude of tho problem whose
solution is intrusted to Annenkof, the
great engineer, head of the Central Com
mittee of Relief. who now has a more
arduous task before him than when he
