NOT CONCLUSIVE.
Peace Between China and Japan
is Not Assured.
Treaty Must be Confirmed by
the Two Governments.
JAPAN NOT PLEASED.
There is a Strong War Spirit
Still Existing
Which May Lead to a Renewal
of Hostilities.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-It is stated by
diplomatic officers that the extension of
the Japanese Chinese armistice to May
8, is in order that the peace terms may
be ratified by the respective govern
ments. This brings out for the first time
that the action of the peace envoys was
not conclusive, and that there is still a
possibility of a failure to ratify the agree
ment
Accompanying this are the reports of
popular agitation in Japan against the
peace terms and the suppression of
many newspapers which assail the
government. This expression of popular
sentiment, coming at a time when the
Japanese parliament would be called on
to accept or reject the agreement, causes
some apprehension as to the outcome
though the government is expected to
prevail and carry out its programme.
1t has been feared from the outset of
the negotiations that the military ele-
ment of Japan encouraged by their con-
slant victories and supported by the uni
versal war spirit among the people, could
not be easily induced to accept moderate
terms of peace.

Condition of Trade.

The midsummer reports from all
space is given than usual, are of especial
interest, covering the questions on
which the future of business depends.
They indicate distinctly better crop
prospects than other official or CONNER
cial accounts, marked increase i'll re-
tail distribution Of products, an active
demand for goods, and a general en-
largement Of the working force, with
some advance in the wages of more than
half a million hands. At the same time
they show that the rapid advance in
prices has somewhat checked buying Of
few classes of products. In every
part Of the country the outlook for fall
trade is considered bright.
Nothing dlSturbs the money market
the government begins the new fiscal
year with more than the required gold
reserve, and the disbursement of nearly
$50, 200, 900 by corporations IN interest
and dividends will stimulate business in
many branches. The latest agreement
of railroad presidents is treated at
Chicago as meaning more than usual
and shipments have increased, amount
ing for four weeks TO 20S,S77 tons East
bound, against 1877 800 last year and 20S,-
us in 1898. Earnings of railroads in
June thus far reported, amount to
$3.50, $50 in the United States, and are
6.S per cent. larger than last year, but
lo.1 per cent. less than in 1898. The
payments through clearing houses for
the first week of July have been 2S. s
per cent. larger than last year, though
81 per cent. smaller than in the same
week of 1892. June payments average
larger than in 1898, the pYnic year. in
every section, but are about $4,000, 600
daily less than in Nav, and about Sl2,-
| 000,O00 daily, or 6.Spe cent. less than
in June, 1892. The advance in iron
| continues, and the Thomas Company
has raised anthracite No. l another 81
per ton.-Dun's Review.

STATE ADMINISTRATION

The Stevens Point Journal has
the following to say in reply to the
New North, published at Rhine
lander, by Geo. w. Bishop
Secretary Of the State Immigration
Commission, who owes his ap-
pointment to the Governor:
The Rhinelander New North
says that the Wood County
Reporter and the Stevens Point
Journal are amusing themselves
by criticising Gov. Upham and
then copying, one from the other
Our down-river neighbor can
answer for himself. So far as this
paper is concerned it has never
copied any articles of that kind
from any paper. To reproduce
the many criticisms that have been
made by the Republican press
upon the present administration
would require too much space.
To get them all in we would be
obliged to enlarge the paper.
This paper, in common with
thousands of Republicans i'll all
parts of the state, disapproved OF
the action of the late legislature
and the Governor in relieving three
Of the eX-state treasurers from
their obligations to the state, thus
violating one of the party's solemn
pledges. We have said so in
unequivocal terms and still hold
the same views we did when the
bill was passed and signed.
Personally this paper has always
entertained the kindliest feelings
towards the Governor, but person
al feelings, whether Of friendship
or animosity, should not be allow
ed to govern in matters Of public
policy. The welfare of the
Republican party is of far more
Importance then the welfare of any
Of its individual members, and no
Republican should feel called up
on to endorse a wrong because it
was done by members who happen
to have been clothed with little
brief authority. All men are
liable to err and honest criticism is
always in order.

Too Much Personal Politics.

The Green Bay Gazette INDUCES
in some pretty sharp criticisms on
the action Of the state administra-
ton with reference to appointments,
referring especially to the filing Of
the places in the state institutions
that arc under the board of control.
1t is our impression that there is a
little too much politics being in
ieCted into the business concerns
Of the state, and there is a wide
spread belief that too many Of the
minor appointments are made at
dictation from high sources. 1t is
we'll to let officials, like the men,
bers of the board of control, and in
fact all officials who have subor-
dinate places to fill, be reasonably
free from interference in making
appointments. They are directly
responsible for their acts and
should be substantially untram-
melted in the performance of them.
Too much dictation is both dis
tasteful and dangerous.-Madison
State Journal.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1895-07-11
RISING WAGES.

1t is gratifying to be able to
chronicle an advance in the wage
scale. On every hand we receive
information announcing the scale
Of wages being raised. The
democratic press already claim
the credit under the Wilson bill.
The facts are that good times are
due to the overthrow of that
party whose advent to power was
followed SO speedily by reductions
of wages all over this country.
By no stretch Of the imagination
can it be claimed the advances
noted are due to any act or
any provision properly chargeable
to Democracy. That party came
into power pledged to knife every
industry in this country, to open
wide the doors Of competition to
the products of European cheap
labor. The elections of 1898
served to call a halt in the pro-
gramme mapped out. Internal
dissensions arose, and the result
was a Tariff law satisfactory to
no one, providing insufficient
revenue, protecting wheIe the
need for Protection was not felt and
failing to protect where Protection
would have added to the industrial
wealth of the country. Had the
advance followed the passage Of
that act more speedily, Or had
confidence returned before the
overwhelming defeat administered
to Democracy last fall, then ii
might make good its claim tc
some part of the credit But
under no circumstances can it be
credited now with the advance.

Which Will He Choose?

The position in which Attorney
General Mylrea finds himself in
the matter Of the State treasury
cases, is one Of the most difficult
occupied by any Wisconsin state
official within recent years. If he
takes official action releasing the
eN-state treasurers as the law
passed by the legislature and sign
ed by the Governor provides, he
will be an accessory after the fact
in the deliberate violation of a
pledge which the Republican party
Of Wisconsin gave to the people
and purposed to fulfil to the letter.
That pledge-not to interfere with
the decision Of the courts in the
treasury cases-has not been full
filled, but has been deliberately
repudiated SO far as the action Of
the Legislature and the Governor
can represent the party, and it now
rests with the Attorney-General
alone to say whether or not, in
spite of the Legislature and in spite
Of the Governor, the Republican
party of Wisconsin shall keep faith
with the people or ole out" of the
promise it has publicly and form
ally made.
If Mr.. Mylrca sanctions the
steps that have been taken and re-
leases the judgments, he will gain
the good will Of the eX-state treas
urers and their friends, but will
UNNECESSARILY disappoint the great
body of the party which has hon
ored him with the office he holds,
and a fundamental of whose creed
is that party promises are made to
be kept. If he refuses to satisfy
the judgments and sends the matter
to the supreme court, he will arouse
an active and influential though a
numerically weak enmity against
himself, but will also win the ap-
proval and applause of Republi-
cans Of the state to an extent that
will make him a conspicuous and
not unlikely a winning candidate
for governor in the next election.
There is equity in the release Of
the ex-treasurers from their obliga-
ton to the state, no doubt; but
the method Of release that has been
chosen is a blunder politically and
wrong morally. Better an inequity
under which individuals suffer for
a time, than a falsehood justly
chargeable against the Republican
party Of Wisconsin.-Green Bay
Gazette.

Manitowoc Pilot Gov. Upham
is not in good standing with his
party. He was a little too pro-
fcient in holding the word Of

were too numerous. Those who
had reason to expect reward for
party fealty or for manipulating
caucuses in behalf Of Candidate
Upham, and who have been dis
appointed, are talking lawful

SO that his Excellency thinks it
justifes the use by him of little
profanity.

More Truth Than Fiction.

The city of Wausau is after the
home for feeble minded to be
located soon by the state board Of
control. While we would like to
see Wausau recognized, and she
possesses every advantage neces-
sary for such an institution, yet
we believe just what the Herald
expresses in the following editorial:
wAUsAU NOT IN IT.
ust at present our Contempora-
ries of the Central and Record are
laying themselves out in the laud-
able effort Of trying to persuade
the home for the feeble minded to
come to Wausau. They are using
much valuable space to set forth
the beauties and advantages Of
Wausau, after reading their dis
sertations, it would seem that it
were moral imposslbility for the
State Board of Control to do any
thing but locate the new institu-
ton right here on Big Bull Falls;
but the board will do otherwise;
at least that is the view The
HERALD takes of it, though we
would in this case be greatly
pleased to find we had been mis-
taken in Our judgment.
The reason for our belief is
simply this: The political mistake
from Marshheld who happens to
occupy the governors chair is just
now enjoying all the pleasures of
the sweat box and his tormentors
are the ex-treasurers and their
principal bondsman, Charley
Phster, the Milwaukee politician.
These men and the governor him
self are exceedingly sore on
Attorney General Mylrea for
blocking their little game that the
recent legislature was SO recreant
as to work through for them, and
anything they can do to get even
they will do. The governor can
readily see that should Wausau
get the institution the people here
about at least would naturally
believe Mr. Mylrea exercised a
strong influence in helping to
secure it. This he does not want.
Gov. Upham has shown all the
way through that he did not have
any use for Marathon county. He
has not given this county a single
appointment. True, Marathon is
credited with two employees in the
capitol-G. E. Vandercook of
Spencer and Frank Chesak Of
Poniatowski, but they do not owe
their appointments to the governor
they came through other sources.
The members of the Board Of
Control owe their positions to
Gov. Upham, and from what is
known of that dignitary's way Of
doing business, it is not unreason-
able to believe they were not
appointed without an understand
ing that what Gov. Bill says goes.
To man on the fence it would
appear our republican friends are
simply wasting their wind in sing
ing Wausau's praises as means
of inducing Bill Upham's Board
Of Control to locate the home for
feeble minded here.
