NUMBER 10.

The Lancaster Herald gives the
young men little talk on the re-
quirements necessary and benefits to
be derived from a cadetship at West
Point. The examination it says is
not difficult. The one securing the
highest average is the fortunate one.
The age is between l6 and 20, and
the branches if we remember cor
rectly are reading, writing, spelling,
grammar, geography, arithmetic and
history. The one who goes to West
Point gets $500 per year from the
government while in school and a
lieutenanrs commission and $1,000
or $1,000 per year when he graduates
and goes into the army. The West
Point education is strictly tirstolass
and gives u young man an excellent
equipment for life work, if he does
not choose to enter the army. Boys
get your thinking caps on and be
ready to secure this prize. The ex.
animation will be held at Mauston
May 3lst.
THAT remarkable weather proph-
ct, Hicks, has promised us another
storm period about the 22nd inst.
He says "a very warm wave will
pass over the entire country during
the period and dangerous storms are
liable to result. Cloud formations
and other storm indications shodld
be prudently watched - 1t
will also be prudent to anticipate
tornadoes-to have your arrange
ments made and minds clear as to
what would be the best thing for
safety in moment Of manifest
danger. The electrical power of the
sun is very great in all the central
parts of our northern hemisphere in
the month of May, and forces which
expend themselves in April showers,
earlier, often gather in May in
storms of great violence and wide
extent We beg our readers to post
themselves on the important sub
iect, and to rob the storms Of their
power TO terrify and destroy, by
such knowledge and preparations as
will insure safety to human life"

HANDS OFF!

The little difficulty in Brazil is getting
interesting to the people OF the United
States. 1t begins to be plainly a ques-
ton of the continuance of a republican
form of government there or the re-
establishment OF a monarchy. Henc
we are brushing up the Monroe doc
trine and getting 1t ready for use, and
the announcement is made from Wash
ington that our Government will not
allow the monarchy to be restored in
Brazil by the aid OF outside agencies. e
Meanwhile the Nictheroy has started
for Brazil, and the other American YES
sells will speedily follow. AS 1t Is said
that Admiral Mello has sent out two yes
sells to meet and intercept Nictheroy, w
are likely coon to have some exciting
news. But whatever may be the re-
suit, Outside agencies will please take
notice that they must keep "hands or
so far as the restoration OF the Brazil
liam monarchy is concerned.

II TRUE LESSON.

The result OF the recent election in
New York has been to revive Republi-
canism in the State and to regalvanize
the anti-Tammany County Democracy
machine in the city. Was that the intent
of the electors?
The reversal OF the Democratic ma
jority in the State by the election Of the
Republican State ticket and a Republican
Legislature was n condemnation of the
methods OF the Democratic state ma
chine which had forced upon the De
mocracy the scandalous nomination of
Judge Maynard for the Court of APP
peals and Of machine ruled Senator'S and
A~ssemblymen for the Legislature.
But 1t was an Endorsement Of the
methods of the Republican state machine
which. under the guidance of Ross Plat,
liz now contemplating the reversal of the
peoples will in several Senatorial and
Assembly districts and the unseating of
duly elected legislators for the purpose
Of securing to the Republicans a two
thirds Legislative majority?
The refusal OF between thirty and
forty thousand Tammany Democrats to
vote for Judge Maynard in the face OF
the direct orders OF Mr.. Croker that
every Tammany man should do his best
to put Maynard ahead OF all other an
didates must %assuredly be accepted as
an insurrection against the Tammany
rulers and a rebuke OF their methods.
But did this manifestation Of indie
pendence mean that the Tammany voters
who are dissatisfied with the Tammany
machine under Boss Croker are anxious
to resuscitate the County Democracy
machine under Boss Power?
The great reform victory in Brooklyn
was rebuke of McLaughlinlsm and Nc
Kaneism, but was 1t designed to replace
those leaders by a Republican machine
in a Democratic city by the power OF
the city patronage?
There appears to be some danger that
the verdict of the election in this State
may be misunderstood.
