Destroyed by Fire.

To the Editor OF The Iowa County Democrat.
Darlington, Wis, Dec. Is, 1895. On
Friday evening, Dec. l3, an alarm of
fire was heard, and 1t was soon discov-
cred that the large Touring mill of
Dexter, Mcdonald & Co. was burning.
The fire seems to have commenced in
The barn or warehouse back of the
mill, and had acquired such headway
before 1t was discovered that it was
impossible to save the property. The
flour dust found everywhere in a mill
Is as inilammable as powder, and the
flames filed every part Of the struc-
ture almost as soon as they found en-
trance from the barn. The walls fell
in, except the south end which is still
standing. The property is said to
have been insured for $1,000; the loss,
estimated on the basis of the cost of
replacing 1t, after allowing for the
added value of new material, must be
much more than double that figure.
The mill was full of combustble
material, and made very bright and
hot fire for long time. Fortunately
the wind was from the southeast, and
blew the flames and cinders away from
other buildings, and toward the river
above the dam. The lumber yard of
Collins 4 Boyle, however, lies in that
direction, and shower of burning
shingles, etc, was constantly falling
on the lumber piles and sheds. The
fire department was on the alert, and
every blaze was drowned at once, so
that Collins Il Boyle suffered no ma.
terial damage.
The fire commenced in the barn
back Of the mill, where it was hidden
from observation till 1t was too late to
save the mill. The cause of the fire
is unknown, but is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
1t Is not nnown whether the firm
will rebuild the mill; and many hope
that the power will be utilized for
some enterprise more profitable for the
owners and more advantageous to the
city than milling.

RALEIGH, n. c., Apri! s.-The A;assa-

last night over the ScaLoard Airline in
the special train provided by that road.
The day was pleasantly and quietly
spent, and with the exception OF tro
mile walk TO the Loci.ville water power
site not far from Raleigh. the party did
not leave the train. The mill men left
Augusta yesterday morning by the
Port Royal and Western Carolina road
and at Clinton connected will, the Sea-

during the day conversed about the
handsome and profitable mills that they

SENATE REORGANIZATION.
Republicans May Have DifiicGi:y :n Eli
Ing The Finance Committee.

Republicans May Have D!iiicG.:y n E'ill-
Ing The Finance Committee.
WAsHlNGToS, April Gin the gossip
about the reorganization Of the senate
it is hintcd that the proba bilities are
very great that the republicans will
have difficulty in choosing successor
on the committee on finance to Senator
Mcpherson. The filing Of the place
will, in all probability, be the first cen.
test which will occur in the next con-
gress between the silver men and the
anti-silver men, and the fight will be
none the less fierce bccarse fought un-
der cover. 1t is intimnted that the
lines may be drawn so sharply that re-
organization may be delayed Or even
defeated by it.
The Silve, men now have a majority
Of one in the committee. five or six men
constituting this majority being demo
Gratis. The silver men are also IN the
majority in the senate, but will be in
the minority in the rcpu bli:an caucus.
Under ordinary circumstances the
caucus would control, and il that event,
and if left free to act untrammcled,
there is said to be no doubt al anti
silver man would be selected for the
vacancy. The silver republicans have,
it is said, already given notice that the
place must be filed with a man from
their ranks and say that in case OF fail
ure TO make this concession they will
oppose reorganization and leave the
matter with the democrats, who would
in all proba bility fill the vacancy with
free silver man. Republican sena-
tors have generally manifested dispo-
sition to make the concession, but there
are some who are disposed to hold out
against it, so that it is not absolutely
settled that the silver men shall have
their own way about it.

A Landlord Boom.

We can now breath easy, since the
United States supreme court has de-
clared the income tax unconstitution-
al. Those of US who have money to
invest certainly should be thankful
for having in the highest legal trib-
unal, men who will protect our
wealth, and save US from being taxed
like poor men who must toll, sweat
and pay tribute to run this govern
ment Of ours, while we live on in
ease and luxury and not become con-
taminated by mingling with poor
people at tax collectors Office. This
is glorious country, why shall we
seek other climes? We have here the
privilege OF amassing great wealth, it
matters not how, and as soon as we
reach the notch where We need no
longer work to support our families
the government e1empts US from
taxation unless we foolishly place our
investments in such things as land or
manufacturing Industries or some
other enterprise that Will give en-
ployment to human beings to keep
the wolf of starvation from their
doors. The government considers
those of US that are rolling in wealth
too good to be troubled with those
things that will keep our fellow-man
from pauperism it therefore offers US a
premium to invest in stocks, bonds,
and various sureities and as special
inducement it allows US to make
these investments without taxations.
The government does not want to
break into our lpile which is growing
larger every day when it can get all
1t wants from those poor wretches
that are forced to follow q mule every
day from sun to sun, or who must
go down into the bowels of the earth,
or hammer away from morning nntil
night IN a shop to get bread. We
think the supreme court should be
presented with handsome testimo-
NAL of our esteem for their recent
decision which will save US from pay
ing taxes on what We have and at the
same time gives US more protection
than those get who pay taxes.

The People are the judges.

Never before in the history OF
State politics has the desire for peace
been as great as it is to-day, and
never before has it been as difficult
to adjust our differences. The peo-
pie are tired of dissension and are
willing to get together upon an hon
orable basis, but some politicians and
newspapers are not willing unless
they can arrange the terms.
There is only one way out of the
difficulty and that is for the people
to make the best terms they please
and let the politicians and newspa-
pers fall into line OF get out of the
way. The matter of electing resre-
sentatives to the constitutional con-
vention IS entiseiy m the hands of the
people and they will say what kind
OF a division they will have or wheth-
er they will have any division.
Leading men may meet and arrange
their plans, but they can do nothing
without the sanction Of the voters,
then let US stop this war of words
about the division of delegates to the
constitutional convention and go to
work to get level-headed men to
make the new constitution for US.
The more we talk about a division
OF delegates, the tighter do we draw
the factional lines. If we are to have a
constitutional convention made up of
men without regard to fsctional lines
the only way to get it is for US to lay
aside factional feeling and elect men
for their qualifications. We can
never get non-factional convention
by one faction making demands
upon another faction, especially when
the demanding faction is in woeful
minority. The white men of this
State should stop this foolish quar-
reling, we can not afford to fight
among ourselves in the face of the
enemy who are already marshaned
and ready to march into any breach
We may make. If the shibboleth is
"white supremacy, all of us can take
upthe cry and go OF to victory. A con-
stitution made by the white men OF
this State will be made for the best
interests of all and it matters not
which faction gets the control of the
work.

THEY HONOR LIVINGSTON.
Tho ycnezuelans Grateful Cor Ris speec
on tho Monroe Doctrine

on tho Monroe Doctrine
WASHINGTON, April s.-Advices from
Venezuela state that Congressman
Livingston, of Georgia, is hero OF the
day there, and that it would not be sur
prising if his statue were erected on
the public square at Caracas alongside
that of ex-President Monroe, as an ex-
ponent of the Monroe doctrine. Mr..
Livingston introduced the resolution
which passed Congress directing the
state department to intercede between
Great Britain and Venezuela for set
tlement Of their troubles He also
made a speech on the subject, sounding
the Monroe doctrine. The speech, it
seems, has struck a popular chord in
Venezuela and has attracted great
deal of attention there. It has been
translated in Spanish and is printed in
full as a memorable utterance. Ven
ezuelan poet has written poem sound
ing Mr.. Livingston's praises, and his
picture, advices received here say. ap-
pears in all the newspapers.

Illinois CoIonists In Search OF Site for q
Cooperative Town.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. April CA
party of gentlemen who represent an
organized colony OF Illinois farmers
and mechanics, are on their way to
Chattanooga and the south delegated
by their companions at home to locate
suitable site for cooperative town
in some good locality near some thriv-
ing city and with good railroad facili.
ties. They represent 100 families, the
heads of which are skilled mechanics,
most of them old employees of the Pull
man company, and farmers who are
anxious to locate in the south. They
want to secure a site where each fam
lily can secure about forty acres each,
which it is intended to improve and
cultivate for homes, while q number of
small industrial concerns will be ope-
rated by the men skilled in the various
trades. They want to locate in body
with view to cooperation.
