Fair To Silver.

Whatever may haye been the
opinion of silver men as to the at
titude of Major Mckinley upon the
financial issue they cannot consist
emily charge the President with I'M
fairness toward the Bryan idea IN
the appointment of Commissioners
to represent the United States IN
the International Monetary Confer
ence. OF the three commissioners
named. two are pronounced bl-
metalists, the other one represent
ing the interests of the single gold
standard. In thus constituting
this commission President Mckinley
as the agent of the Republican
party has sought to carry out In
good faith the pledge of the Repub-
lican national platform adopted at
st. Louis in June last, and given an
additional illustration of the pur-
pose of the great party of protection
and progress to perform, SO far as
shall be in their power, all that it
promises. There seems to US to be
but little prospect of the adoption of
the bimetalic standard by the mon
etary conference nations but in
any event those himetalic Repub-
licans who remained true to their
party because of the promise made
in the St. Louis platform enjoy the
satisfaction of knowing that their
confidence was neither lIispiaa ed
nor betrayed. This is q fact upon
which they will do well to reflect
when in later campaigns they shall
be told that they were basely deceiv-
ed. Some of the Bryan shouters in
1900 will forget al about the Nc
Kinley silver commission.

The Debasing Scheme Failed.

The people of the country should
be congratulated upon the failure of
the attempt to reproduce in every
village and city in the United States
by means of the Photographic art,
the recent disgraceful Nevada pugil-
istic encounter. The negatives taken
during the progress of the fight re-
fuse, from some cause, to develop, "
and for this reason the scenes cannot
be reproduced. The projectors OF
this debasing scheme have lost a
large sum of money because OF its
failure, and society has been spared
the infiiction of one of the most de-
grading and demoralizing general
exhibitions that can well be imag-
ined. Whatever may be the benefit
derived from photography, it is in
deed fortunate that in this instance
an experiment, the success of which
would have proved of so debaslng a
nature, failed to meet the expecta-
tons of those engaged therein. The
idea of reproducing by means OF
art, in public halls throughout the
country, the scenes of brutality and
degradation which characterize the
prize ring, is revolving in the ex-
IRENE. and does violence to all OF
those ennobling attributes which
seek to promote the cause OF true
happiness for mankind-a cause IN
which so many self-sacriicing men
and women are constantly engaged.
There are millions of people through
out this broad land of ours who will
ardently wish that prize-fght mega
tives will ever fail to develop. So
mote it be.

Floods.

The present year will go down in
history as one of the most disastrou:
in the character of its floods. The
inundation of millions of acres o
land under high state of cultiva
ton has wrought sad havoc, and
ruin to thousands of now homeless
people who have escaped the fury Of
the floods with only their lives. A
contemplation of the sufferers by
by floods prompts the thought that
the people of this portion of the
great commonwealth of Wisconsin
with whatever drawbacks it may
possess, have much for which to be
thankful. Although tropical pro-
ducts cannot be grown here we have
a climate that is salubrious and
heaHhful, and a soil whose fertility
makes glad the hearts of Is tillers,
high above the danger of loN + Ohio
and Mississippi floods, the appre-
hension of which must be a source
of constant anxiety to jewellers
down there. Contentment is an inn
portant factor in the great problem
Of human life, and is often produced
in some people by the adversely
brought on by results emanating
from discontentment in others.
While perfect contentment would be
a bar 10 human progress, a certain
degree of freedom from anxiety and
care is essential TO the happiness of
mankind. Do not leave the ST.
Croix Valley until you have a sure
promise of something better.

LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
Prince of Wales Accused of Be-
ing Involved in a Crooked
Transaction.

London, Nov. 5.-There was an ex-
traordinary case heard before the lord
mayors court today, when a man named
Hinde sued the Prince of Wales to re-
cover $780, 900 alleged to have been
wrongfully paid him by the late Under
sheriff Croll, who was the liquidatOr OF
the United Kingdom Electric Telegraph
company.
The plaintiff declared that the money
belonged to a certain Mr.. Allen, to
whose estate he was the assignee.
Hinde further claimed the sum of $780,
600 from Lord Suffolk, alleging that the
latter had subOrned CrOu to commit
perjury before Lord Bramwel at the
trial in 1877 in connection with the iq-
uidation.
Sir George Lewis, in behalf of the
Prince of Wales and the Earl of Suf-
folk asked that the proceedings be
quashed on the grounds that the ale
cations were nothing more than friV-
olous and a tissue of nonsense, and he
submitted an affidavit to that effect.
The plaintiff then addressed the court,
declaring that he had been told that
the Prince of Wales received the money
referred to, and then proceeded to
charge Lord BramweIl with defrauding
Aliens widow out of $3.50, 600 in order to
obtain promotion and a peeraSe.
The plaintiff was here stopped by the
court with the warning to speak re-
spectfully of judges. Finally the court
stopped the case and dismissed the act
ion which was described as being an
abuse of the process of the court

t. V. POWDERLY'S VIEWS.
Condemns Unrestricted Immigration
to America

New York, Nov. difference V. Pow
derly, commissioner of immigration has
given out his views on the evils of the
unrestricted coming of foreigners to
the shores of America. He says:
Unrestricted, unsifted immigration
is menace to the sta biIity of Ameri-
can institutions. immigration should
be restricted to the needs of the Amer
lean Republic instead of being permit
ted to flow in unceasing current, accord
ing to the order of a czar or the ca
price of the immigrant. Healthy, hon
est immigrants should be directed to
where they may find homes and en-
ployment; all others should be exclud-
ed.
wealthy Americans, who have
anlassed their wealth in the United
states, should be patriotic enough to
travel through their own country and
spend their money where it was earn
ed, instead of travelling abroad creating
the impression among the poor unfort-
unateS of other lands that wealth may
be had without effort in America.
Between wealthy Americans spend
ing their wealth abroad and ilI-paid i'm
migrants sending their earnings
abroad, the drain on our resources is
very heavy. No other nation could
stand it, and the patriotic sense of
Americans should be aroused to look on
both practices as evils which should be
checked" ."
