WASHINGTON, May l5.-The senate did n
little unimportant business and then got
down to the tariff monotony, the Repub-
leans Offering amendments to increase du-
ties. A long wrangle on the sugar sched-

Aud Hunt Gives Ills Objections, while

Attorney General Moloncy here remark
ed that it was the best modern practice TO
permit the written pleading to fully and
completely set forth all the facts, and III
this case this was not done by the original
answer prepared 10y the Republicans,
Attorney Hunt closed the argument
claiming that the amended answer raised
several immntcrnl points and new is
sues that should not be permitted The
new answer raises questions that will
seriously delay the trial, some of them be-
ing conveniently concealed. The issues
of the case were closed over week ago
and continued, ON the solicitation of the
Democrats, until now for argument, and
he earnestly insisted that no new issues
should now bc in jected in the case.

answer il filed. shall, therefore, hear

kimhrough then offered a petition cross
bill and answer of William j. Biues, who
has received the Endorsement of the Yer.
million county Democratic convention for
representative to the state legislature.
Bines wants to become Il party to the
suit
In his paper he claims the act of 1893 to
be fair and constitutional attacks the APP
portioument acts of 1882 and 1871, and
makes the same general argument that is
contained in the amended answer Of De

sity were located in Wisconsin. These
lands were sold by the trustees Of the
University at so to $50 per acre.
Large sales of pine stumpage were
made at $50 per acre and the land,
after the removal Of the pine al SO
per acre. In contrast our school lands
ad Looming them were sold at 81 to $l.25
per acre and the pine stumpage was
had for the stealing Of il. Various
were the devices by which these lands
were made plumber. The lumber
kings of the north would secure the
passage of laws authorizing tracts
selected by them to be sold. AT these
sales the lumber barons would not bid
in competition with each other. The
lands were purchased for a pittance
and the profits divided. The whole
proceeding was authorized and coun-
tenanced by republican Legislatures
and republican governors. Individ-
uals became so wealthy that their in
dependence developed political bos-
sism that dared to attempt the pur-
chase of Wisconsin courts in order to
cheat the people Of hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars stolen from the state
treasury
Much of the land disposed Of at 81
per acre was covered with pine timber
worth from $25 to 500 per acre.
Thousands of acres were disposed Of
on contract, which required the pay
ment of one-fourth of the purchase
money down. The lands were then
stripped of their timber and allowed
to forfeit to the state for the purchase
money that remained due. The lands
now listed for sale consists largely
of these barren tracts lasting monu-
ments of republican misrule. Had re-
publican officials been faithful to the
people, our state school fund would
approximate $2O,0000OO, and its an
nual income would suffice to defray
about one fourth of the total expendi- !
lures for common school purposes.
Taxes would be lessened by this
amount.
Here is problem to be cleared up.
1t involves millions of the peoples |
money that should be in Il school fund.
In Minnesota we find the money
derived from this source in the school
fund; in Wisconsin 1t is not there.
But it is known that such men rs ex-
Senator Sawyer possess millions obtain
ed from specializing in pine lands. A
loss to the school fund is loss to the
people Every taxpayer should insist
upon IN explanation of the great diff
erence that exists in the school funds
of Minnesota and Wisconain. viii
the henchmen of the convicted treas
ury looting gang consent to discuss
this problem which savors of Il rascal
ity the same in kind us that of the
republican treasurers which the SUI
preme court declared to be the genu-
inc articleY Is not the care of the
school fund by political party safe

LaCro~sc Chronicle,
1t is Il little dilicuIt to understand
the apparent checrfulncss Of the Re
publican party even admitting for the
sake Of an argument, that the Dem
ocrats have not 50 far been successful
in rcdecming their pledges. TO the
calm observer there is no comfort for
II Republican i'll the prospect. If
the Democrats do not elect the next
president the Republicans party Ger
tainly will not. The election will 90
to the house of representatives. The
Republicans lost two states to the
popuIists in 1892, Colorado and Kan
sas. If that party does not indorse
free silver in 1896, 1t will lose every
state west of the Mississippi river,
except, possibly, Iowa and Minnesota,
ana they VIII need attention. The
chances arc that the conservative in
tcrcsts Of the country will be forced
by the crazy silver states of the west
to abandon the Republican party for
self preservation.

1t will not escape notice that the
three senators who objected recently
to an immediate vote on the tariff bill,
thus destroying the unanimous CON
sent necessary to proceed to vote at
that time were all Rcpublicans-Tcl-
Ter, Of Colorado, Plat, Of Connecticut,
and CuIlom, Of Illinois. This shows
where the obstruction comes from that
arouscs the country's impotence.
RichIaud Democrat
Not an appropriation bill has passed
the House but what has been reduced
as much as possible in accordance
with Democratic ideas Of economy in
public affairs. The record 50 far is
exceptionally good and future appro-
priations should be made on the same
lines. Economy is being practiced by
nearly everybody and If the party in
charge Of public affairs would be pop
ular with the people il should see that
affairs are conducted on
the same lines.

Greatly Shocked.

The lodges resorted to by travelling
fakirs are many and ingenious. One o.
the cleverest is recorded by a London pa
per and challenges admiration for its in
gcnuity, though the we'll known aversion
of elephants to mice might perhaps bt
taken as explaining the mystery Of the
animals behavior.
The proprietor of a travelling circus an
nounced that OH certain night trained
elephant would play the Russian Hymn
on piano with its trunk. When the even
ing came, the circus was crowded to the
roof with an expectant public.
After some of the usual performances
had been gone through, four men brought
in an upright piano, which they placed IN
the center of the arena. Then the elephant
was led in. He walked slowly three times
around the ring, and then, amid the keen
est excitement, advanced to the piano.
With slight movement Of his trunk
he opened the keyboard, but scarcely had
he done so when sudden change came
over his appearance. His eyes dilated with
fear and rage, he lifted his trunk in the
air, and then, with scream of terror,
he rushed out Of the arena
The proprietor Of the circus and the Gle
plants keeper held short and hurried
consultation, and then they, too, left the
ring.
After few moments the circus propri-
ctor entered again and announced with
regret that the performance could not
take place. The fact was, he said, that
the elephant had recognized in the key
board of the instrument portion Of the
tusks Of his long lost mother, who had
fallen prey to the ivory hunters Of Afri
ca-Youth's Companion.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated an the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O.ga-p-ho.ge,
1t is probably the oldest civilized COM
mnnity in the United States and the most
ancient Of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities dis
agree as to whether this city or San Angus
tin, Fla, were first founded. Santa Fe was
first visited by American traders in 1904
and from that time dated a wonderful era
of prosperity. The thrilling incidents the
old Santa Fe trail, starting from Westport,
No., gave it a world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANITAR1uM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U. S.
weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is in the
driest habitable part of the United States
This region is extensive, and changes in
form from season to season, but Santa Fe is
always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is dominated
by the influence of mountain peaks that
tower nearly $4,000 feet high. Together
with this it lies at an altitude of 7,0l5 feet,
and latitude, about the Both degree north,
that gives it a peculiar advantage as san
itarium. The elevation tempers the summer
heats, which naturally should be about that
OF Memphis, Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and
its southern situation reduces the rigors of
winter. AS an illustration, during the win.
ter of 1898, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omission did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great ply
sician expressedit. The rare, ozonated air
permeates every cell of the lungs, and thus
prevents hemorhage.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. S. Weather observation Office has
been stationed here for % years. and the
following statistical data tells better than
words how even and mild is the climate OF
Santa Fe. Taking the summer heat and the
winter cold the following tables show a
most equable and delightful temperature.
