State Park Lands.

We are heartily IN sympathy with the
Milwaukee Telegraph in its opposition
to the sale CT the State Park lands. If
it's done, it will prove great mistake
and black eye to the republican party
of the state. There are errors enough
already committed for which the repub-
llcan party must answer to the people,
and if those in power and control don't
heed the warning, defeat will and must
follow as result. The reasons offered
for the sale are too thin and will not 90
down with the people. The sale will
reveal the fact that certain numbering
interests will get the pine and perhaps
reveal the motive which prompted the
sale. We say with the Telegraph, delay
the sale and the party will never regret
it.
The man who wrote the Telegraph as
follows, hits the nail squarely upon the
head: 'In behalf of the early settlers
| desire to thank you for your strong
opposition against any further larceny
of the public domain. The thieves will
not rest quietly until the last tree is cut
and the last acre is turned into a Pot
ter's Field. The press of the state
ought to rise up in honest indignation
and drive the state commissioners into
a hole. Why they want to sperpetrate
this damnable sale, at the present time,
to the injury CT their own regulations,
to the great damage of our party, and
to the sacrifice of our last bit of public
domain, is incomprehensibe l am so
disguised over the business that Ian
guage is inadequate to properly charac-
terize their conduct"

Another proof of the generally i'm
proved business conditions is found in
the enormous increase in the output
OF pig-irOn. When business generally
is good the demand for iron is good.
1t enters into the production of arti-
cleS for the farm, for the railroads, for
building, for sea-gOing vessels, and
almost every business enterprise, and
has rightly been denOminated a bust
ness barometer. In October of last
year the weekly production of pig-iron
in the United States averaged 112, 900
tons. The average weekly output for
September Of this year will average
about 100, 900 tons. That is the differ
ence between protection business and
free-trade idleness, protection pros
perity and free-trade adyersity.

Nov that the soft-cOal strike has

those who are sc0lding about the in
reference of the courts in matters of
this sort to the fact that the use of
the injunction has doubtless been very
valuable in preventing disturbances.

deal OF blood by preventing the con-

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
ence has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
trea @ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture
by F. J. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address

The Treasury Department Called
 on For Small Currency
 WASHINGTON, June 23.-Tne Treasury Department within the last week has received 8 considerable number of re- quests for small notes in unusually large quantities. This iuquiry was en- 5irely unexpected and is confidently re- garded by treasury officials as an indi- cation of im proving business conditions. At least once year she treasury meets 5he demands for small notes from the west aud south where they are needed for the movement of crops. Rlrsly, however, has the inquiry begun earlier than the tenth or middle of July snd therefore it is assumed that the call for notes of small denominations is net in anticipation of crop movements. Is bss become so general, however, particular. ly in the south, that treasury officials ascribe it to renewed activity in general business.

Reasons Given for tn Protest by the

 WASHINGTON, June 24.-The gist of the protest of Jspsu to the annexation ot Hawaii to the U oited States ss read to the Senate com nistse on foreign reia- sions yesterday is as follows: The &C., quisition of Hawaii by annexation to the Uoited States would deprive resident Japanese in the islands of the rights to which they are entitled under the pres ant treaty with Hawaii. There are 25,- GOO Japanese in the islands with large property rights. end under the present conditions they ara entitled to become citizsns of Hawaii. Ia case of snnexa- tion these Japanese ooud nos become citizsns of the Uoited States, as deci- sions of the U aited States circuit courts are to the effect that no Asiatic can be- come citzen of the United States. By annexation the Japanese now resi- dents of Hsvsii would be subj aot to any measures that might be adopted by ehe U 1ited States; they would lose the right to become citizs ans and to vote; the large interests owned by Japanese citizsns on She islands would be greatly jsopsrdize Therefore, the Japanese government must firmly protest against the proposed annexation.
