THE SPEAKEKSHIP.


the canard is not known, but he is evil
IDENTITY an enemy of both gentleman
concerned, and would like to create i'll
feeling between them. This, however,
il impossible. Mr. Reed is too great
man not to forget any feeling Of dlsap-
pointment or jealousy he may have
entertained owing 10 the nomination OF
Mr.. Mckinley, and the latter has too
high an appreciation of Names favorite
son to entertain for one moment any
doubt as to the latters desire to assist
him in every honorable way to further
the best interests of the country. All
good Republicans will do well to take
such stories cum grano sails.
While we have been for the past
week enduring intensely cold weather.
re, aside from the heavy fall of snow
and the little blizzard on Thanksgiving
day, we have no reason to complain.
When we contrast the sufferings, loss of
lifs.and property, too, in so many other
places, We ought to thank God that we
Chippewa Falls (the full account will
be found on the outside of THE Tines
must be almost DeyOnd conception.
Houses and business blocks had to be
vacated The Easements and in many
cases the first floors being flooded, and
the intense cold weather causing it to
freeze in solidly, and that means that
about next June they will get thawed
out. Then, too, the danger is not yet
over. 1t now seems likely that the big
gorge will hold its position, and if the
lesser ones are removed farther up the
river the water that will come rushing
down will have to form new bed, and
which way it will 90 is very important
question. In any event still greater
damage seems to be IN store, and no
estimate has as yet been made Of the
losses The citizens of Chippewa Falls
seem very near to US indeed, and our
sympathies go out TO them in this their
general sorrow.
The Milwaukee journal is very
much afraid that the newly elected leg
islators will not do their duty along
some lines, and especially are they anx-
ious regarding the pass question. Time
alone will tell which way the represent
atiyes will vote The Journal is very
much against the giving of passes ''by
corporations to public officers, either
for their own use or the use of others"
and have sent out letters asking the
me mbers to state their positions regard
ing the matter, and now because the
questions have not been promptly an,
swered, the Journal says they are dodg- |
ing the question and are wary besides !
saying many other things that they |
simply guess at. Let our representa- |
tives be credited with desire to do the |
right thing, until they have at least had |
the opportunity of doing wrong, then if |
there is need of watching them, We say
do it by all means.
The Manitoba school question, if we
may judge from the widely differing
views expressed by the newspapers and
public men of Canada, appears to be as
the proposed substitute for the law re-
pealed is regarded miserable make
shift that will only aggravate the old
sore. Others, while not wholly approx
ing of the proposed law, believe that in
time it will, if loyalty accepted, accom-
piish desired results. 1t, in fact, pleases
nobody, and the Roman Catholics who
were promised they would be justly
treated-least of all, and they have de-
termined TO yield no rights guaranteed
them by the constitution Of Dominion
The end is not yet.
=" Sleepy" Burke, a wide-awake ana
all-round crook, now out on bail in Chi
cago, has written a book which doubt
less will have wide circulation as most
bad books do. Is there not something
wrong when thieves and murderers are
allowed to rush into print and thus
corrupt the minds of the young And
how is it that such villains are allowed
out on bail? If hungry man stole
ham from butcher stall he would have
to'languish in prison until his trial, but
a professional crook must not. Great
is the power of money when it saves
the wicked from their punishment. No
wonder crooks are on the increase.
If DR.. Parkhurst speaks the truth,
New York city must be like unto that
ancient city within which just men were
as scarce as mosquitoes are around the
head of the lakes just now. DR.. Park
hurst, however, while he is n preacher
of the gospel does not always speak the
truth. There doubtless are many i'm
moral people in New York, among all
classes, but when he says the great city
down by the sea contains 2500O0 men
and women who are either secretly or
publicly immoral we refuse to believe
him.
Deposits III New York banks have
increased $4,000, 600 since Nov. 8. In
two weeks the banks OF New York have
increased their loans no less than SIS
10000, and the expansion since Nov.
has been S2l 400 800. Never in the
history of the banks has such a develop
ment of business been manifested in
the same length of time. This would
seem 20 indicate revival of confidence
in business circles
Italy has conquered Holland, or, we
should say, Prince Victor Of Savoy has
won the heart of Hollands queen, the
lovely Wilhelmina. And now Dutch
men will dance 10 the music Of the hand
organ and sauerkraut a Ia Hollandaise
will become the national food of Italy.
