The December COSMOPOLITAN.

Two very important facts in connec-
ton with the new era of magazines are
illustrated in the December Cosmopoli-
tan. Its fiction is by Stevenson, the
list story written before his death,
"Ouida, Sarah Grand, Zangwiil, and
the beginning of Jane Lane Aliens
new Kentucky story Butterflies. /"
Probably no stronger array of fiction
has ever been presented in any maya
zine-money could not buy better; Nor
has any magazine ever had a larger
number of really distinguished artists
engaged upon the illustration of a single
number. The reader may be puzzled
to know how such a number can be
made at the price of ten cents. But
the magazine itself affords that solution
1t contains I39 pages of advertising,
which, as the publishers announced,
is from $1,000 to 5000 more net cash
advertising than WAS ever before print
ed in any magazine, of any kind and
in any country. 1t breaks the world s
record in the publishing business.
Moreover, the cost Of the artists and
the authors who appear in this number
is divided amongst 1000 copies, bring
ing the cost per copy proportionately
low. The Cosmopolitan thinks that
the ten cent magazine, bringing, as it
does the best in art and literature into
all classes, is an educational movement
second in importance only to that of
the public schools.

The Wisconsin legislature provides
for the establishment of the Wisconsin
Free Library Commission, whose duties
are to give advice and counsel Ito all
free libraries in the state, and to all
communities which may propose to
establish them, as to the best means of
establishing and administering such
libraries, the selection of books, cata-
loguing and other details of library
management. The commission may al
SO send its members TO aid in organic
ing of new libraries or in improving
those already established The COM
mission includes three ex-offiCio mem
bers and two who are appointed by the
governor. The ex-ofticio members are:
President c. X. Adams fthe State Uni
versity, State Superintendent j. Q.
Emery and Secretary r. Ct. Thwaites of
the State Historical Society,". The mem
bers APPOINTED are Miss +. L. cans.
of the Milwaukee Public Library and
F. A. Hutchins of Baraboo. The mem
bers of the commission met in Madison,
December 3, and organized by electnG
F. 4. Hutchins chairman, and Miss L.
f.. Stearnes secretary.
The commission has prepared hand
book giving the text of the law under
which free libraries may be established
In Wisconsin, the general argument in
behalf of such libraries, hints as to the
arOUs1nC of interest in them and suC--
gestions to boards of trustees and
librarians who are building up new
libraries. These hend-books will be
sent free on application to the secretary.
The following list includes those
towns in which free libraries are in
practical operation: Milwaukee, Fond
du Lac, Neenah, Green Bay, Merrill,
Ashland, West Superior, Chippewa
Falls, Eau Claire, Menomonie (2), La
Crosse, Sparta, Grand Rapids, Beaver
Dam, Fort Atkinson, GAINESVILLE, Beloit,
Monroe, Mineral Point, Madison, Belle
vile, Wsshburn and Wsuwatosa. Osh-
kosh is about to establish library and
other towns are aGitating the subject.
There is not only a growing interest in
the founding of the libraries. but a dis
position to make those already estab-
lished more useful and more helpful
to the public schools. The commission
is not only willing but anxious to help
in both these lines and will welcome
the opportunity.

w. b. Banks Hits the Nail on
The Head.

In an interview published in the Tel
egram, W. B. Banks, gives out the fol-
lowing regarding the effect of Presi-
dent Cleyeland's message upon the
money markets:
Il think the president was too hasty
in his message and too abrupt in his
way of putting it, and has precipitated
condition OF things which will be very
hard 10 rectify. There was no reason
or excuse Tor him bringing the Nene-
ZueIan question to an issue at present
and particularly at this time whereby
the country through him was practi-
cally committee to an enforcement, pos
sibly by war on demand by him for
the arbitration Of dispute on a bound
cry line which has been in dispute for
almost one hundred years and which
as far as anyone knows positively, when
finally settled may show England to be
in the right on her claim.
''Of course, England's policy has al
ways been cOwardly and bulldOzing to
smaller countries, and her policy to-
ward Venezuela is only repetition of
her policy everywhere else. If she was
fair she ought certainly to submit the
question to arbitration as Venezuela is
SO small a country compared to England
that by not submitting it TO arbitration,
1t is practically an act of cowardice IN
that she can enforce her demands.
THE time might come when Amer
lea, following out the policy of the Mon
roe doctrine, ought TO compel England
to take the right course, but there Is no
necessity for the issue at the present
time and this country IS in no condition
at the present time financially or other
wise, to put chip on its shoulder and
invite England to knock it off.
'The president unluckily and very
unwlsely, has precipitated a state of at
fairs which may lead to avery unfriend-
~ feeling with bare possibility of war,
unless America backs down from the
position in which the president has I'M
wisely put her, or England backs down
from her position.
"In the meantime, until the matter is
finally reported upon by the commits
sion which undoubtedly will be COM
posed of wise, diplomatic men with
large experience in settling affairs of
state, the country is in my opinion
plunged into 4 state of uncertainty, and
1t Is going to take some time before
either country feels easy as to the ulti-
mate result. The stock market when
left New York showed a much better
feeling, although money WAS tiuctuat-
ing badly and the uneasiness had not
altogether ceased"

We quote the following from the
Pratt Judson, dean of the faculty of the
Chicago University.
81 cordially approve President Cleve-
lands message in reference to the Ven
ezuelan question. | do not regard the
Monroe doctrine as among the canons
of international law, but that does not
seem to me a material question. The
doctrine is part of the traditional for
eign policy of the United States, and Is
quite on par with the European doc
trine of the balance of power. The
presidents Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine seems to me entirely log
| zeal and reasonable. 1t is contrary to
our interests for any European power
to extend its territorial possessions on
this continent. The way in which
England has dealt with the disputed
territory between Guiana and Nenezue-
Ia amounts, 1t seems to me, to the ex-
| tension of her territory 10y her super
rio force. And as to such aggressiv e
action on the part of any European IA.
ton l think we should oppose all re.
sistance in our power.
The Monroe doctrine implies that
! the United States must not let the
weaker nations of America suffer seiz-
ure at the hands of European nations
If there were two or three first class
| powers IN the Americas they might
combine for the enforcement of the
principle of the Monroe doctrine, bu!
as we are the only first class power on
this side of the Atlantic it is our duty
and interest to guard the weaker re-
publics from oppression and aggression
| of specific kind. There are two things
| we should not permit. We should not
| permit Europeans to oyerturn Ameri-
| can governments or TO seize American
| territory. 1t is questionable if We
| should even permit European powers
to take possession Of American territory
| by peaceable acquisition. During the
| administrations of Pierce and BuChan
an, when the purchase of Cuba was ag-
| itated, representatives. of this country
! took the position that the United States
should not permit any European power
! to take it if Spain undertook to sell or
cede it. That principle was laid down
| in the Ostend manifesto"

Ruth Ashmore in January Ladies'

hosts, etiquette of invitation, of the
table, wedding customs and various
minor social points. To the woman
who is the guest at friends home she
thus advises: "If your visit is to be one
Of several days or weeks you must
make your hostess, if she has not been
wise enough to state it in her invita-
ton, understand in your answer not
only exactly what time you will arrive,
but exactly what day and hour when
you will leave, and YOU Will show great
wisdom if, no matter how much you
are enjoying yourself, you refuse to
prolong your visit. During your stay
you must find everything pleasant that
your hostess arranged for you. Ask
no special service of 4 servant. You
must neither expect nor ask that your
laundry be done in the house, and you
must take great care not to leave the
dainty tOilet-table or the pretty room
in disorder. After YOU return to YOUR
home you should write letter to the

you, and sending your regards to tho

Report of Special Council Meeting.

The council met in special session
tuesday afternoon to discuss the effect
OF the recent Hayes decision upon the
city bonds. President Rogers IN the
chair. The council some time ago auth
orlzed the city treasurer to take up
about $4,000 of bonds, optional now
or IN two years. In accordance with
these instructions Mr.. Eckstrand called
IN part of the bonds, but about 5000
are still out standing. These bonds,
under the supreme court decision are
illegal and the treasurer wishes to know
what he should do concerning them.
A lengthy discussion of the question
was participated in by Messrs. Eek
strand, Bardon, kellogg, Atkinson.
Green and Ross. At last a resolution.
introduced by Mr.. Green, was passed,
instructlng the treasurer that whatever
OF the tax levied for a special bond is
sue had been collected, to take I'D that
issue, but in case only part of the tax
had been collected, not to buy in the
bonds with the amount on hand. The
resolution further provides that in case
the tax for bond issue had not been
collected, that the old invalid bonds be
taken up and new ones issued under
the authority granted by the legislature
OF 1893. These new bonds are then TO
be provided for by special assessment
Aid. Green introduced another reso-
luton, instructing the city treasurer not
to pay the interest on the invalid bonds
due January l, and amounting to 500
ooO. This action, Mr.. Green argued,
would cause the bondholders to make
inquiries and thus the exchange of
bonds would be facilitated. The reso-
luton was laid over until the next
meeting. The council will have anoth-
er session this friday evening.
