There will be more personal charges
by the free trade defamers of the
present tariff bill, made against the
persons and motives of its promoters,
than will ever be fired off at range
This is part of the inevitable penalty
of politics, but it is so understood and
does not hurt a hair. The policy of
the Republican party should be under

referable to personal interests or call

THE EUROPEAN MUss.

There is nothing certain as to the
outcome of the trouble in Eastern Eu-
rope outside of the fact that it is GER
tain to increase the strain upon the
| tether that binds the Powers together.
Already the situation as between Ger
many and England is anything but
cordial and now the Russian govern
ment is put out at the diatory tao
tics of England. The truth is that
none of the great European govern
ments, outside of Russia, have any
interest in keeping the Turks in pos
session of Crete. Russia has her al
lance with Turkey to keep good, in
cret treaty that has been signed for
more than year, but which the other
Powers were kept ignorant of. This
alliance is more guessed at than posi-
lively known in its terms, and this I'M
certainty offers no guarantee to Great
Britain that should Russia gain the
ends she seeks, in a Turkish license
to enter the Dardanelles, it would not
be worse for England in Asia. Ger
many only consents to what Russia
proposes in order to worry ard annoy
the government at London. France
really hates to add feathers weight
to the burdens of Greece, but her own
security of alliance with Russia is
all that enables her to hold her own in
the councils of the great Powers, and
this she must maintain by secouding
the efforts of her great ally in her
Turkish policy. 1t is a rope of sand
that holds Europe together in concert
of action and it may be ruptured AZ
any moment. Germany and Great
Britain are sworn foes IN their Afri-
can policy. Great Britain and Rus
STA are sworn enemies in their Asiatic
policies. France and Great Britain
hayeno bond of union, but Russia and
France have, while the old bitterness
between France and Germany would
lead to a renewal of the old difficulties
at any opportune moment. Italy
counts for little only as she is associat-
ed with one or the other of the four
powers mentioned, and all her affilia-
tons are naturally with Great Britain,
for her interests are not in any
quarter cross buttOcked by those of
Great Britain. The peace that is pre-
served between the powers is that of
constrained relations, not that of good
will and it will stand no longer than
the self interest that prompts it de-
mands its continuance. That peace |
would not last three days were only
one of the great powers certain that |
in the breaking it would gain more
than it would lose. This uncertainty
is the only guarantee today for the
peace of Europe. 1t is a guarantee
written in sand and liable to be wash
ed out by the first wave of self inter-
est that swells high enough to over
flow the shore.

A Military Man.

The Minneapolis Times Sunday morn
ing contained an excellent cut of W.
A. Carleton, we'll known in this vii
lage, with the following brief biogra-
ply: ''First Lieutenant W. A. Garlic
ton of Company F, First regiment, was
born Aug. g.. 1870; received his first
four years. schooling in Indianapolis,
Ind, at semimilitary day school, and
altogether all the drill was taught by
German rules and in the German Ian
guage. Lieutenant Carleton early
acquired love for military life and on
May Is, 1898, was mustered in as a
bugler in Company F, which position
he held until appointed sergeant of the
First regiment Signal corps in March,
1895. On Oct. S, 1895, he was elected
to the second ieutenancy of his COM
pany and on Sept. Is, 1896, to the first
lieutenancy. In business life he has
held the position of assistant secretary
to the Minneapolis fire department for
about six years.
He is very prominent in. military
circles in this State and takes a great
interest in his work. He was at one
time connected as an officer with the
boys brigade of this city, and helped
very materially towards making sue
cess out of that organization.

Well Drawn Conclusions.

Ii there are any wise conclusions to
be drawn from the experiences of the
past few years, they lie in the direction
of better methods and more intense
farming. Not that our farms or fields
should be larger, but that the yield
per acre, per field, per horse power
and per man power should be greater.
It means that we should quit getting
eightY-acre results from a three-hun-
dred-and-tw enty-acre farm. It means
that bunch of seven-year~ old-timber-
heel steers are money losers. 1t means
that a COW that gives skim milk, or
that can produce only a hundred
pounds of butter in two hundred and
fifty days isn't worth Milking It
means that a hog that is built only for
racing purposes isn't worthy the name
of ''porker." It means that breed OF
hens that cackles without laying should
be potted before they arrive at the age
of discretion, and their posterity cut
off before they are born. Finally, it
means that the average farmer cannot
afford to waste even the screenings or
the little potatoes or the sour milk or
the corn stalks and straw, or the grain
and grass that grows in the corners OF
the fields and fences, but that his sys-
TEN of farming should contemplate the
consumption Of all these on the farm
and their conversion into something
that will pay, whether it be beef or
butter or eggs or pork or mutton or
| wool. -Montevide0 Leader.

The musical program was excel

the column reformed and marched to
