HY MEN EAL.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


At five O'Clock Wednesday, Dec. 20,
Oscar A. Mcfarland and Miss Persis
l.. Landon, daughter of 0. B. Ian
don, were married at the brides home
in johnson. The marriage is one in
which the entire community has been
interested, as the contracting parties
are among our best known and most
popular young people. Mr.. McFar-
lands father having been for many
years one of the best known mer-
chants of the town and county. while
Miss Landon, besides being daugh-
ter of one of Johnson's most enter
prising business men, is widely known
because of her musical accomplish
ments and her zeal in church work.
The clergyman was the Rev. Albert
Donnell of the Cong'l church, the
Episcopal ceremony being used. The
marriage certificate given by the
clergyman was a unique one for this
part of the country, being an auto
graph certificate, containing blank
pages for the autographs of the we'd
ding guests. 1t was made in Bur-
lington in accordance with Mr.. Don
nell's order, and is very handsomely
designed.
Because of the delicate health of
the brides mother the wedding invi-
tations were confined to the immedi-
ate relatives and not more than a
halfscore of family friends. These,
however, made quite large COM
pany, as both families are widely con-
nected. Miss May Hammond of Bur-
lington, was maid of honor, and Mr..
Will Landon, brother of the bride,
was best man. Miss Allie Hammond
OF Burlington, played the wedding
march. The brides gown was a very
becoming one of cream Lansdowne,
with swansdowRs2d lace trimmings.
The maid of hohCTsWore a heliotrope
gown. The presents, some of which
came from points as far distant as
Louisiana and California, were nu-
merous, and, there is no need of say
ing, valuable.
The bridal party left on the $50
train, and after short trip will re-
turn for the reception to be given the
evening of Dec. 9th, by the groom's
mother. The young people will re-
side at the groom's home in J ohnson.

STARTLING STATIsTICs.-Th Rail-
way Age says that since January 1,
1898, receivers have been appointed
tor no less than II roads, with near
ly $4,000 miles of road, an outstand-
ing bonded indebtedness of almost
1854, 100000, and capital stock ag-
gregating over 1884, 100000, max
ing a total of almost 81 ,288, 100000
of stock and bonds from which all
returns are suspended with the GER
tainty that a large part of their
value will be wiped out before the
long process of the court is ended.
This is an unprecedentedly bad
showing. Twelve per cent. of the
entire capitalization of railroads in
this country is now in receivers
hands.

The second edition of the December
Worlds Fair Cosmopolitan brings
the total up to the extraordinary
figure of 100000, an unprecedented
result in the history of magazines.
-Four hundred thousand copies-2OO
tons-ninety-four million pages
enough to fill 200 wagons with 5000
pounds each-in a single line, in close
order, this would be a file of wagons
more than a mile and a half long.
This means not less than 100000
readers, scattered throughout every
town and villagein the United States.
The course of The Cosmopolitan for
the past twelve months may be COM
pared to that of rolling SNOWFALL :;
more subscribers mean more money
spent in buying the best articles and
best Illustrations in the world; better
illustrations and better articles mean
more subscribers, and so the two
things are acting and re-acting upon
each other until it seems proba-
BILE that the day is not far dis
tant when the magazine publisher
will be able to give SO excellent an
article that it will claim the atten-
ton of every intelligent reader in the
country.

In case the Wilson tariff bill
passes, people may possibly be able
to buy some things cheaper than
they do now, but if the production of
the home manufacturer is curtailed
or ruined, the wages of the working
man and Women reduced or entirely
cut off, and the sales of the mer-
chant-and therefore his income
diminished-what advantage will it
be to any of them to know that they
can buy goods trife cheaper than
they did under a system where every
American was helping every other
American?

Ex-senator Edmunds was in Phila-
delphia last week, and in an inter-
view on the Hawaiian question de-
clared that the appointment of Mr..
Blount as a special agent of the
President was illegal and unprece-
dented. When asked how he thought
tbe difficulty could be adjusted he
said
"That question is difficult to an
swer. The Ratter will require long
time in which to be adjusted, and it
looks now as though it would never
be definitely decided, unless this or
some other government establishes
a protectorate over the islands. The
Government appears to
to be firmly intrenched in it's posses
sion of the governing power.

Leach. ShewelI g. sanborn Exhibit.


Leach, ShewelI g. Sanborn Exhibit.
AS already stated in one of our
former issues the exhibits of the edu-
cational publishers will for a long
time linger in the minds of the many
visitors to the Worlds Fair. The
exhibits were uniformly tasteful and
interesting. That of Leach, Shewell
Il Sanborn was unquestionably
among the best and most complete
exhibits in this line. The valuable
books which have been issued from
time to time by this progressive and
growing firm make great collection
which will attract any student
These productions were well display
ed and very neatly arranged, and
were presented in the most compre-
hensive manner. Many of the books
are so familiar to the great school
public of this country that visit to
this booth was a real pleasure and
had the tendency to make a school
feel perfectly at home. The rapid
growth of Leach, Shewell 4 Sanborn
has been due to the fact that they
have placed only the very best books
on the market. They have had more
than the material success of their
business at heart. They have striven
to win for themselves the confidence
of the school public by giving them
the results of the best and most ad-
vanced thoughts in education. In
this they have succeeded admirably.
The extent of their Western bust
ness is largely due to that splendid
book man and manager, C. A. Sibley,
of high attachments, splendid bust
ness capacity and energy, who has
endeared himself to all those with
whom he has come in contact. He
knows the value of school books and
can discuss them intelligently and
present their relative value and
merits more lucidly than many other
men.-School Board Journal.

The QUEER WAR IN BRAzIL.-The
most peculiar feature of the war in
Brazil is that the belligerents cannot
get ateach other. The loyal army is
unable to fight the rebel navy. Ad-
miral Mello cannot reach his enemy
on land, and President Peixoto has
not been able to reach his enemy at
sea. The rebel ships fire few shots
into Rio once in a while, and the
shore batteries take a few shots at
the rebel ships when they get
chance; but the admiral dare not
go ashore and the president cannot
take to sea. 1t is one of the most IL
logical wars that has ever been
fought, even in South America. 1t
has been going on for nearly four
months, and we doubt whether a
hundred live, or even fifty, have been
lost by both belligerents in that time.
We suppose that it can be continued
as long as Mello is able to find sup
plies and Peixoto is able to keep him
off shore. Perhaps the most sadden-
ing thing about the war is it's ex-
pense. The people of Brazil seem to
take but little interest in it, and very
few of them seem to care which side
wins. Yet, for all that, they will
have to foot the bills.-New York

Secretary Carlysle recommends a
good deal of promiscuous taxing in
order to raise the revenue of the
government up to the point of ex-
penditure, but he is bright enough
not to suggest taxing manufactures
incomes for the purpose. He knows
that manufacturers, under the DEM
ocratic regime, will not have any IN

Let the Right Men Do Ii.

The Democratic Ways and Means
Committee ought to understand that
if they undertake to make a new
protective tariff, they will make q
terrible botch of it. How can they
hope to compare successfully in such
business with the last professor of
protection, William Mckinley, or
with an equally able master of the
art, now associated with them,
Thomas Bracket Reed? What non
sense to suppose that the inveterate
enemies of a certain economic sys-
tenn and the studious advocates of
another utterly different and op-
posed, can suddenly transform them
selves into experts in the application
of the principles for which they have
cultivated lifelong hatred? AS well
might miners leave their picks and
come up to make watches, or a lot
of aborigines used to war clubs be-
gin to practice with dynamite guns.
The Mckinley tariff is probably
the most learned and scientific COM
position of protectionism ever known.
1t has attached to it the machinery
whereby the electric current of reci-
procity can be turned on at any mo-
ment it may be thought best. If
another protective tariff is wanted,
we cannot imagine anything more
anomalous in statecraft, or more
absurd in fact, than a lot of preten-
tious amateurs from a hostile school
assuming to do the job.
Mckinley is not in Congress, but
Reed is, and a member of the Ways
and Means Committee. If we are to
have a tariff for protection let the
boss protectionist and his partisan
colleagues arrange it. If we are to
have a Republican tariff instead of a
Democratic tariff for revenue only,
in the name of wisdom and folly
both, let the Republicans make it.
Any other method of procedure will
not be monkeying with the tariff
only, but morkeying with the I'M
varying practice of public business,
and with the simplest dictates of
commonsense.- York Sun.

A NATIONAL APPEAL.-The Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League, in
special and extraordinary session on
December 10th, responding to the
earnest request of wage-earners,
unanimously agreed that it was
necessary to call upon the press of
the United States to urge every pat
rlotlc citizen to assist in defeating
the proposed Wilson Free Trade
Tariff, which is now before Congress.
If this measure becomes a law, the
demand for labor in all productive
employments in the country will be
decreased. This will reduce the
wages and earnings of every man,
woman or child among us; perma-
nently lower the standard of living
in this country, and reduce the pur-
chasing power of our wage-earners,
who constitute the great consuming
force in this land. Every person,
rich or poor, high or low, old or
young, who is not in favor of lower
wages and less comfort in life, should
at once write postal card from his
or her district, protesting against
the passage of this bill and demand
ing that the Mckinley Tariff be left
unchanged. Write a postal card to-
day, and urge every friend of yours
to do the same. Perhaps your effort
will defeat free trade and save pro-
lection.

The proposed tariff will work disaster to
the prosperity of the country. Our industry
will be affected seriously by having many
things to contend with which we have never
had. We shall need to reduce wages to meet
the new conditions. Less wages means less
ability to buy. The north acted aDd voted
like fools last year. They put the south in
power and now the country has got to stand
it till another president is chosen.
