Bavaria's Condition Uncomfortable.

In the lower house of the diet at Mu-
Mich Prince Loewenstein read declara-
ton dwelling upon the immense burdens
imposed by the military administration,
which undoubtedly brought prejudice to
the national prosperity. The present sit
uation, he said, was almost uncomfortable,
and the existing system was all the sad
der as no guarantee could be given
against further larger demands upon the
people in view of the keen competition
between European nations in making
war preparations. The prince advocated
an international court of arbitration as
the sole means of salvation from the
present situation. DR.. Bull, however,
contended that the best security for Eu-
ropean peace was the maintenance of the
preparedness Of the army and the true
observance of faithful alliances.-Lon-
don Standard.

The Chicago Herald of Feb. Is, well

The Chicago Herald of Feb. Is, we'll
and truly says:
eff the democrats are reasonably
expeditions about passing the Wilson
bill substantially as it passed the house
even the dullest will see that in three
months from now that the croakers
and prophets of evil are false prophets.
They will see that there is no harm
but much good in reduction of the
burdens of the people. They will see
that this protection " which they
have regarded with superstitlous rev
erence is a cheat and a fraud, doing
harm always and good never"
Then the calamity army will suffer
from the recoil of their overloaded
guns. They will find when it comes
to the congressional elections next
November that the stampede that they
are trying to create will be from their
own camp. Just few months OF &C
tual experience under the Wilson bill
will satisfy the people that it is worth
a much longer trial, and the longer
trial will satisfy them that they Will
have nothing to lose, but very much to
gain, by still larger installment of
commercial and industrial liberty.
But the senate is reminded that to this
end what is now needed is : action;
action
The Democrat has faith to believe
that the Democratic majority in the
senate will be reasonably expeditions
about passing the Wilson bill. So far
the Democrats of both house and SEN
ate have shown firm determination
to carry out the will of the people as
expressed in their election. Surely the
beginning of the end of the protective
system is at hand. 1t is falsely ckarg-
ed that the country fears the change
from the Mckinley to the Wilson tariff
law. For weeks past, as noted in The
Herald, there has been industrial i'm
provement, and for last week Brad
streets recorded no less than forty re-
sumptions by industrial establishments
against only six SUSPENSIONS. If the
panic was due to the fear of Demo-
cratic tariff legislation, how is it that
on every hand there are, on. the very
eve of the enactment of Democratic

will have to move on.

In referring to the organizations
Of leagues and committees for the
purpose of securing better government
for Milwaukee, The Telegraph Of that
city says:
The Municipal League, the Stead
committee and all others seeking bet
ter city government can get what they
seek by attending the caucuses and
seeing to it that only honest, clean,
able men are nominated. With such
men nominated y both parties, good
city government is sure to result
This the sum of the whole matter.
To attend the primaries is the first
great duty of the voter. The Tele
graphs admonition, not only applies
to Milwaukee, but to every section of
the land. The way to secure "only
honest, clean, able men," for office is
for the whole body of voters to express
their preferences in the caucuses as
we'll as at the polls.

To Adopt the American System.

A London correspondent says the gov
eminent will probably grant a strong
petition recently presented for the ap-
pointment OF commission to consider
the adoption Of the American patent sys-
tenn in England. The chief point at is
sue is whether a system of preliminary
examinations into the novelty of inven-
lions should be introduced. Legal and
scientific opinions are keenly and pretty
evenly divided on the subject.

ORR STATE DAIRY SCHOOL.

A student of the state dairy school,
at Madison, sends US the following
interesting facts for publication.
"The state dairy school is now in
full operation. The limit number is
100, but we have enrolled 1O3, with
over 200 turned away. There are
twelve states represented: a coming
from Wisconsin; 4 from Illinois,; 4
from Ohio; 4 from Kansas; 3 from

The instructors take deep interest in
this society and we have two of them

STRONG ARMED RED" CONVERTED.
Hearing the Music In the Mission, He
Abandoned a Murderous Errand.


Abandoned a Murderous Errand.
The Florence mission is Just now in
the possession of an interesting and
promising convert who will likely trou-
BILE the minds of these philanthropists
who make the reclamation Of criminals
their especial hobby. It was just after 9
o'clock on Friday night, and the large
meeting room Of the mission house was
filed with crowd of worshipers, when
the door slowly opened, and there entered
heavily built, slouching individual
whose square jaw and lowering forehead
somehow suggested a sandbag.
The organ was playing "Where Is Ny
Boy Tonight?' and as the stranger, after
a moments pause, walked up the center
aisle to the platform all eyes were turned
toward him. He looked steadily for a
moment at Mr.. Hyatt, the exhorter, who
had charge of the service, and then
wheeled around and silently contem-
plated the audience. The chorus of
voices had died away to culver, and
there was an unbroken silence as the
mans hand CROPPED toward his hip pocket.
Then in casual way he drew out big,
self acting revolver.
The audience needed no second bid
ding to run out into the street, but in
minute they had returned, treasured by
the voice of the stranger. Then they
saw that the man had placed the re-
volver on the desk in front of George
Paine, an ex-actor.
Cries of 'Crank! He's a crankr'
sounded through the rooms. But the
man standing on the platform, raising
his hand for silence, said: "Do not be
frightened. My name is Robinson. I
have been saved from crime tonight"
Then he proceeded to inform the audi
ence how out west he had been known as
"Strong Armed Red" how his real name
was Abraham Robinson and how he had
just been discharged from Joliet prison,
Ills, after serving five years term for
burglary. He had intended, he said, to
get money that night, even if he had to
commit murder to accomplish his pur
pose, and was on his way to Broadway
to do little stroke Of business when he
entered the Florence mission and was
saved.
The mission people are trying to OBJ
tain employment for Robinson.-New

GILBERT ISLANDS, MONARCH.
The Civilizing Influences Developed by
His Visit to San Francisco.

HIS visit to San Francisco.
''The island of Taputcouea," said Cap
tain J. Duncan, until recently in COM
mand of the missionary steamer Morn
ing Star, 'has adopted somewhat diff
ferent code Of etiquette since the return
of the king of the Gilbert islands from his
visit to San Francisco. His majesty no
longer roams barefooted around the is
lands in the native costume, but has de-
veloped pronounced fancy for collect
ing clothes and owns an extensive ward
robe. Eastlake furniture is now in use
at the royal palace, and his majesty will
allow nothing but choice china and cost
ly silverware on the table.
When the king returned home from
San Francisco, he took horse and bug
gy with him. There are no horses and
no buggies on the islands, and conse-
quently no roads. The king, immedi-
ately after landing, set men to work
hewing out rocks and making circular
road about SO feet from the top of the
cone shaped islands. The natives are not
rapid workers, their tools are crude, and
it was but short time ago that the road
was completed. This is the only road on
the islands, and it begins and ends at the
same place and is Is miles long. Every
afternoon the king, arrayed in a sport
ing costume, exercises his one horse
around this one road, while the natives
gaze on in a state Of admiration.-San
Francisco Examiner.

1t is a fact, plainly observant t. the
most casual reader, that it is not the
factory employees or the laborers who
are potesting against a reduction of
the tariff. Such trumpted protested
come only from the manufacturers
who have become hopelessly edicted to
the habit of "knocking down" the
tips " secured ostensibly in the inter
est of the poor workingman, but
which, however, never reach the sup

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Hudson True Republican,
Last Thursday the house Of repre-
sentatives passed the Wilson bill by
almost strict party vote, only a few
democrats voting against it, and these
acting principally on account of local
influences. Z = This is the most
important act of the session, since it
carries out the will of the people ex-
pressed in the election of 1892 The
bill will go to the senate where it will
meet with violent opposition from the
Republicans there, but those best
posted think it will pass the senate.
The Republican party will now have
to take the responsibility of any delay
that may damage the business inter
estS Of the country.

Chicago Herald.
1t is about time for western farmers
to ask the McKinleyites, who have
been promising them home market
at high prices for their products, what
they have done for wheat. They will
find it difficult to recall time when
wheat was so low, and they cannot be
sure that it has touched the bottom yet.
That home market-that ideal con-
dition-has not been realized. It is as
ideal and remote as ever. The farmer
is selling larger percentage of his
wheat abroad than he did before the
protectionists began to make a home
market for him away back in the six
ties. And still the price he can get
abroad governs the price he can get at
home. How does he like the price?
Sixty cents or under per bushel at
tidewater, and less in proportion to
the lenghth of the haul from his farm.
How does that strike the farmer as a
fullillment of protectionist promises?
How much longer does he think he
can stand it to wait for that home
market, and pay the fine of some so
per cent, on the goods he has to buy
with the proceeds of his wheat?

The Roman marrons, too. were sedate
and digniled, with their coiffures of
waved hair, simple fllet and high
placed chignon OF braids coiled on the
eo--They varied this occasionally
by putting mass OF little curls about
the forehead. \ more elaborate ar
ranFe,nent was a round. chignon Of
plaits. tall frontal of small curls ris-
ing like diadem above the head,
small, regular curls about the fore
head, and three small ringlets in front
of each ear.
But the Roman matrots were but
women, after all, severe as they seem
TO US; and after awhile we hear of their
friZzing and dyeing, waving and tying
their hair, making it into pretty bows,
manufacturing to some extent; and,
finally, OF keeping several coifures on
hand, ready to don at any moment.
But some dissenters loved TO pattern
after the style OF the vestal virgins,
who yelled their locks, allowing only
few TO peep out about the forehead.
1t was in the twelfth century that
swol1e to the possibilities OF the colt

floating over the shoulders, and held in
place by q simple head band. But
their ideas with true western progress
sion were quick TO embrace more than
one arrangement. Before the twelfth
century had ended we find the tresses
caught up in a great loose net at the top
OF the head. hanging apparently from
two brass knobs that were placed on
the forehead over the ears By what
means this fantastic couture was in

In ignorance.
Almost more grotesque, however,

one and half to two feet-and a

peak. Sometimes the drapery was no
