MADISON, Wis, Sept. l0.-At a con-
ference of the state central committee
Of the Wisconsin gold democrats, to be
held in Milwaukee some time this
week, a separate ticket will be put in
the field. The gold men claim the &C.

convention in strongly endorsing the
Chicago ticket and platform, left no
other alternative. Considerable feeling
had prevailed i'll favor Of supporting
the regular state Democratic nominees,
should the action of the convention be
sufficiently moderate OF the silver
question to enable them to do so, but
they now feel that they are practically
driven either to support the Republican
candidates or nominate an independent
ticket. General Bragg of Fond du Lac
is expected to be at the head of the gold
ticket.

500 Claims to Have Evidence of Juggling
With Rates.
ST. PAUL, Sept. lO.-The 500 road
claims to have secured evidence that a
Chicago road had turned over a block of
unsigned return trip tickets to a broker
which he could sell at a rate of SIS to
Boston, from Chicago. Taking this as
a basis, the 500 at once made a straight
cut rate of $1S from Minneapolis, tickets
good until Oct. 3. The Chicago roads
claim that the 500 has simply made an
excuse, but the Minneapolis road claims
that it has positive evidence of the &C
cusation. The cut will probably precip-
itate a great cut in rates, unless some
thing is done to stop it.

Senator Plat of this State can be de-
pended on for sound and sensible views
concerning public matters. An illustra-
tion of this fact was seen in the Senate
yesterday, when Senator Call gave no
tice that ne would move at an early day
for the discharge of the committee on
alton Of the resolution for the recogni-
ton Of the Cubans as belligerents. He
the Senate to a direct vote on the ques-
ton without further delay. Senator
Platt rose and quietly said that he had
heard much talk as to recognizing the
Cuban insurgents. But he pointed out
that this was question primarily with
in the jurisdiction of the President
Moreover, the recognition of the insur-
gents was not to be viewed as an act
due them, but as a question affecting
the United States. If such recognition
was accorded only for it's moral effect
and for sympathetic reasons, then it
would be considered under information
al law, and justly considered. as an Of
fence against the parent country No
one doubted, Mr.. Plat said, the feeling
of sympathy of our people towards
those engaged in a struggle for liberty.
but in shaping the official course of the
government there should be no haste,
and every move should proceed accord
ing to the recognized rules of interna-
tional law.

about their rights as we are shouldn't
hurry to do anything that might be
considered an infringement on the
rights of another ation.

A lyoMAN VINO DID.

Some interesting questions have been
raised by the actions of woman who
has been postmlStress at Georgetown,
Maryland. For half-dozen years it
was her custom to select from the daily
deposits for the post such letters as
she suspected of containing messages
of love. These she carefully deposited
in an old shoe box under the counter.
There the inspector found them when
the inevitable exposure came--a peck
Of them, many dusty with age, their
fond messages grown moldy and illegi-
BILE.
No explanation of this performance
is given, 1t may be that the post
mistress had seen so much of love that
she was tired of it, and couldn't bear
to have anything to do with it. And
1T is possible that her experience with
love had been such that she thought
she was doing good turn to those
whose love-letters she waylaid. Was
she or was she not? Did she make
more trouble by putting the love let
tiers where she thought they would do
the most good than she would have
helped to cause if she had let them
go on to those to whom they were adj
dressed? Has she blighted or lighted
lives? And are the love letters that
never come more beneficial than those
are not too busy with the Venezuelan
question might tackle some of the
questions raised by this remarkable
woman.

OCCUR DE NlcG4 R0h,S

That the negroes of this country do
something besides eating watermelons,
playing the banjo and conveying chick
ems is strikingly shown by a pamphlet
written by Mr.. Henry Gannett of the
United States geological survey, and
printed by the trustees of the John f.
Slater fund. 1t gives interesting and en-
couraging facts in relation to the
material progress OF our negro popula-
ton. For instance, we learn that ne
groes occupied 549,642 of the 4,767, 179
farms in this country in 1890. OF the
total number Of farms occupied by ne
groes 120,T3S were owned by the occu-
pants. OF these farms 904 per cent.
were without incumbrance The male
negroes in agriculture in 1890 numbered
1,329,5S4, of whom 510,619 were indepen-
dent farmers, and the remainder We're
presumably farm laborers. The pam
phlet brings out the fact that in the
matter Of occupation the negro is main
ly engaged in either agriculture or per
sonal service. He has made little pro-
gross in manufactures, transportation
or trade. He has made good progress,
however, toward acquiring property in
the form of homes and farms, and
wherever he has acquired real estate
he has become more valuable as a cit
izen. The outlook for the negroes as
agriculturalists is very favorable,
though there is little prospect, Mr.
Gannett thinks, that the race will be-
come an important factor in manufac-
lures, transportation or commerce.
1t is interesting to note that while
Mr.. Gannett is expressing this opinion
an effort is being made, both in North
Carolina and in Alabama, to employ
negroes in cotton mills. A negro paper
in Raleigh this week publishes call
for a meeting OF the members of the
National Protective association, a negro
organization, in Raleigh, at an early
date to form a company to build and
operate exclusively with negro labor a
cotton mill in Raleigh. II the negroes
can raise the necessary capital, the ex-
pertinent will be tried. The result will
be awaited with much interest not only
by the mill-owners of the South, but
by the northern millmen as well; for,
IL it is successfully demonstrated that
negro labor can be profitably employed
in southern cotton mills it will probably
enable the mills so employing them to
produce cotton goods at a cost even less
than now.

professor Shaler In the North American
Review for December


Review for Decemher)
If the change could be made from the
system of standing armies to that OF
true militia of the Swiss type, long
step toward enduring peace would be
made In military sylstem of this ma
ture the soldier and the citizen would
be identical when put in the field; the
men would take with them that quality
of the household which makes the Swiss
soldier an admirable home guard, but
not to be considered for distant agrees
sive warfare. In such condition the
military motive in It's dangerous form
would speedily die out; all danger OF its
leading to wars Of a political nature
could to be left to the ever increasing
development OF the domestic spirit, that
humor which makes men very willing
to sacrifice for their ideals but exceed
ngly ir5isposed to die fer purposes
which they do not value. If the armed
forces Of governments should be brought

are established in Switzerland, the dis

can foresee, in any highly organized
society whatsoever. there will always
be need of using well organized force to
restrain the large part of the population
who are willing to seek their ends by
violence. There is no other way to retain
the good which has been won or to win
that which Is before us, save by the law,
and the sanction of the law Is in
strength. 1t is a sense of this truth
which goes far to justify the existence
of the great standing armies i'm the
minds of many judicious persons, who
fail to see that a well organized militia
can be made as effective in attaining the
same valuable end.
