Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat IA it indiscriminately called, is a
-pecies OF < game rarely hunted by
spOrtsmen. This is Dut 70 much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because of It's actual
rarity. 1t is II stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t 10 not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk. etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities. but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber

THE WISCONSIN FLOODS.
Danger Appear+ to he About Over at
Most Points.

Most Points.
MILWAUKEE, March %. -Probably
never before thus early in the season
has the state of Wisconsin been SO
completely under water as it Is now,
and never has the damage been SO ex-
tensive to railway and other property
at this season, as now. Large portions
of railroad tracks in different parts Of
the state are washed out or submerged.
Both the Northwestern and the St.
Paul railroads suffered considerably
from the high water, while the tracks
of the Central were under water at
several points, requiring the greatest
caution in running over them and de-
laying trains considerably. Later ad.
vices from Sheboygan are to the effect
that the men who were carried down
the river had reached shore. The dam
age by food at Fond du Lac will reach
between $l5, 900 and $40, 600.
All danger is past at Oshkosh. AT
noon it was stated at the offices Of the
St. Paul that the serious trouble was
over, and hat the water was going
rapidly. 1t will require some time,
however, to make permanent repairs to
Wisconsin bridges and tracks.
The Central's tracks have also been
cleared and the through train from st.
Paul reached Rugby Junction only 20
minutes late.
he most serious damage Oh the
Northwestern was the giving way of a
center section of a 800 foot bridge near
Port Washington, where 10 cars of a
freight train went down. The weak
enlng of the bridge was caused by
gorged ice and high water

EIkins On Wages

"Wages must go down." said Senator

in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Wage
carners," continued the senator, do
not wish to see 1t or believe it. but it
is So" And again he said: "Wages in
America stand against any revival of
business"
He was discussing the coal trade. He
said: 1--WE do not export coal to Europe
because we have wages against us, and
that is the whole kernel of the coal
trade"
Being asked whether black labor was
settled in the mines of West Virginia,
he said:
"Firmly. It is as effective as white
labor and does not combine and con-
spire, and the negro spends all he
makes, while the Italians and Poles
send every cent out of the country"
The senator has Just as decided ideas
on the tariff question. He is firmly con-
vinced that protective duties, especially
those on coal. should go up. Tariff up.
wages down. That is what happened
under the Mckinley bill and is what
will happen and in fact is happening
under the Dingley bill. 1t is all done
In the interest of labor.

Nevada is the victim Of oircum-
stances. Rich in the potentialities Of
material greatness, and therefore strong
in the capacity to support a social struc-
ture, she presents the battling paradox
Of declining population in a western
state. If she were located in South AZ
rica, the nations Of Europe would plot
and struggle for possession Of her min
erals, lands and waters; if in New
South Wales, the colonial government
would employ the public capital to re-
claim her deserts and to enable the sur
plus population of Adelaide to make
homes upon her soil; if in Germany,
the imperial government would charter
rent banks" to operate under q COM
mission, in preparing the land for settle
ment and building humble houses, to
be purchased by home seekers on gener-
ous terms; if in Holland, the servants
OF the little queen would extend the ad-
mirable colonies which have fourished
for 20 years, graduating thousands of
needy men from beggary to tenantry,
from tenantry to proprietorship. Will
