Truly the voter has need to open his
eyes. take in more newspapers, read
more books. think harder, and struggle
generally to qualify himself to grasp
new situations. and deal intclligently
with matters affecting the interests and
relations of the whole family OF nations.
The history that is making so fast threat
ems to affect the conditions OF existence
all over the world for perhaps CEN
tury to come. and indeed for all future
time. 1t is mighty interesting to be alive
in such a period, but the wear and tear
of il is very considerable. What must
impress every thoughtful person. is that
sif we are coming out of our big shell,
and are about to share in the distrac-
tions of the great world, we must man
age somehow to get our ablest and best
men into public life. and keep them there.
Undoubtedly we have the men, and tne
money. and all the essentials to the occu-
patton and maintenance of great place,
but our apparatus for getting the right
men in the right places, and for putting
out money where il will do the most
good does not yet work as surely and
effectually as it should. The most prac-
teal conclusion that must result from
the agitation OF the contemporary voter 5
mind is bound to take the form of con-
victiOn that it is time for the best there
IL in us to come out, for the really big
men to be put forward, and fdi the bosses
and the blatherskites to find their nat
ural level

One War Lesson
Worthy Of Note
From Harper's Weekly.


TT GROWS harder every day for citi-
zen sovereisns of the United States
III to supervise the development OF their
III Countrys dcstinies, and still ma
time for the transaction OF their
private business. Merely to keep an eye
on congress, watch the presidents ap-
pointments, and show intelligent interest
in local sclfgovernment have been used
to tax pretty seriously the average con-
scientious voters leisure, but since the
war began, his responsibilities have been
increased by the duty of following plans
and movcn Cnts ny sea and land, ana
CTiuicising new schemes of taxation, me til-
DDS of getting out troops, and military
and naval expcdientS by the score. so
far the voters attention has been taken
up by concerns near home, but now a
broadening of interests and rcsponsibili-
ties Confronts him which is fit TO make
him Curtail hours of rest, postpone all
rclaXatiOns and bend all his energies to
the assimilation of new ideas and the
projection of new policies. We have got
Manila: we are likely to have Porto
Rico; we are threatened with the aC-
QUESTION of Hawaii; we have assumed
heavy responsibilities about cuba; we
may have to capture the Canarie& In a
months time our improvised drum-neat
may be chasing the traditional British
rub-a-dub around the world, and the sun
may dodge about in vain for corner in
which to set out of sight of American ter
ritory.

Pennsylvania congressman seem to
be following the plan tried on the un-
just judge in the Bible, in their efforts
in behalf of Generals Goblin and Wiley.
The idea of appointing delegations TO
wait on the president every day, urG-
ing Pennsylvania military claims,
may by reason of opportunity have its
advantages, but it would seem that this
great state should not be Inundated
further in the process of receiving her
just dues at the hands OF the govern
ment.

There are five distinct cable lines
from Havana. Two of these run to
the United States and can be con-
trolled here. The others, going by the
way Of Santiago. diverge into six
cable routes after leaving Jamaica or
Hayti. by which news can reach the
outside world and therefore Spain.
Those from Jamaica lie by the way of
Cape Verde islands. Bermuda and
Halifax, Venezuela, Windward islands
and Dutch Guiana. From Hayti there
are two routes. Thus the urgent ne
cessity of cutting these methods of
communication can readily be seen,
and the sooner General Greeley's ad-
vice to accomplish this is fully fol-
lowed the less embarrassment we shall
suffer from General Blanoo's omns-
cience with regard to our military and
naval operations.

and sympathy will be with your noble
people and with the standard bearer
of republican America. who is advanc-

The advice "never write a letter and
never buCn one" had its efficacy proved
in New York this week, at least as
to the last clause, A man would prob
ably have been on trial for murder
with a good chance Of conviction, had
he not saved a letter from his former
sweetheart, in which she stated her
intention to commit suicide. When her
body was found the lover was immedi-
ately suspected OF the crime of murder
but the letter was excellent evidence
in his favor, although the writer had
urged him to destroy it lest il get him
into trouble.

In one round SIMPSONS fleet. If aug

500 pounds of metal and Schley's, IT,

for the fleet of the Spanish admiral,
Cervera. Should a new flying squad
ron be made up of the New York,
Brooklyn. Columbia, Misneapolis, New
Orleans and Montgomery, its projectile
weight would practically equal that Of
the enemy. while in speed it would be
a shade faster. The monitors alone, in
a stand-up fight, could annihilate the
Spaniard, with proiectile weight OF
$500 pounds and no target surface, to
at. We need not worry.

The question Of giving France the
cold shoulder at the exhibition Of 1900
is being freely discussed at Washing
ton. Many members of congress think
that the United States could not better
show contempt for the course of France
in sympathizing with Spain in the
present war than by refusing to make
an exhibit an the Paris exposition. Con-
gress has already appropriated $4,000
for the Paris exposition. only one-half
of which has been spent. 1t is not
thought that a member can be found
who will have the nerve to suggest an.
other appropriation for this cause.

Lord Beresford fears that the sug-
Eestion of an Anglo-American alliance
coming from England herself may set
the oversuspicious and shrewd Ameri-
cans to thinking that Great Britain
is in a position of difficulty and needs
an alliance for her own benefit. Why
not? 1t is well known that England
has more to do, in her vast colonial
possessions and in the many reforms
she has at different times proposed,
than she can manage alone. Why
need she try to conceal the fact that
an alliance with the United States
would be of immense value to her in
many directions? While, naturally
enough, the advantage would not be
solely on the English side. Americans
are not laboring under the hallucina-
ton that England is interested in the
plan for the exclusive benefit of this
country.

include all the delegates representing
counties who are or have been favor
able 20 Senator Quay. That this claim
is n bluff is illustrated by the attitude
of the delegates from this county. who
are located in the William A. stone
column, on the assumption that they
are owned by Senator Quay. The fact
Of the matter is that the delegates
who will represent this county in the
ensuing state convention own them
selves, and are under no obligations to
vote for any candidate for governor at
the dictation of any political boss or
faction. Every man of them is free to
act for the best interests Of the Re-
publican party when the time comes
for them to act; and they have been
steadily reaching the conclusion that
such action demands their support of
candidate who is free from suspc-
ion of being in the control of, or likely
to be controlled by, boss or faction
who have, whether deservedly or un-
deservedly, made themselves obnoxious
to a large and influential element of
the Republican party"
our Lancaster county contemporary
says it will be greatly mistaken If the
mathematicians who are figuring the
bluff for Colonel Stone shall not be
surprised at the strength Hon. Charles
w. Stone, of Warren, will develop n
the convention before the balloting is
concluded. For the party's sake we
trust that the New Era predicts truly.
Any nomination week after next which
shall save the party from factional
chaos and the peril of popular rebuke
will come to the party masses as a
welcome though an unexpected relief.

Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which man builds well. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon farm. OppOrtu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
cOnSin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.
Build a home of your own and be
happy.

some of the richest localities in the
