The following quotation is from the
editorial columns of Harper's Weekly:
I" Hanna is very ordinary and vulgar
politician of the richest kind, who has
more faith in money than in discus
sion, and iE cupidity an in con-
science" It was an easy matter for
the editor of Harper's to, write that
sentence, but so hard to prove it, that

Oshkosh Commonwealth.
What need for confederation OF
proof when the verdict comes from the
infallihle lips of the much maligned,
long suffering, but still honorable Carl
Schurz. Surely no one would presume
to question the word or judgment of a
man whose magnanimity is illustrated
by the above passage, and whose rec
oru for consistency, patriotism and IN
ilnpeachable character speaks for it.
self. The Commonwealth is certainly
putting it's foot within the dangerous
land hauhted by shades and specters
when it ventures so far as to reflect
even the slightest doubt upon the
veracity or perspcacity of Carl Schurz.
Therefore we advise, Mr.. Common
wealth, tread lightly through the pre-
cincts of the dead, lest the gh"st OF a
departed saint rise up to rebuke you.

THE Laud stamp bill has been favor
ably reported and may now be called
up and passed at any time. Not a
single copy of paper can be sent out
at pound rates if this bill passes,
except to legitimate subscribers who
voluntarily order and pay for the same.
In other words the sample copy
privilege will be entirely taken away.
The object of such legislation Is, OF
course, to remedy the evils existing
whereby the postoffice is compelled to
run into debt to perform its function.
No doubt the privilege given publishers
is frequently abused, and this abuse
could be stopped by the passage of the
proposed bill, but there are undoubt-
edly other, more potent ills, which the
present bill makes no provision against.
The great amount of circular advertis-
ing which passes through the mail
does more to augment the expenses of
the postoffice department than the
sample copy privilege can possibly do
with all the abuse connected with it.
IF the number allowed under the
present law were reduced so per cent.
all the loss now resulting from it would
be counteracted.

BADLY BURNED.
MRS. VIM Cantwe1 and Little Daughter
Suffer Serious Injury.


Mrs. William CantWell and her little
daughter met with a serious accident
Monday afternoon, which resulted in
both Mrs. Cantwell and the little girl
being badly burned with very strong
mixture of concentrated I've. The lye,
which was used for sanitary purposes,
was placed in a small closet under Q
sink in the kitchen. The little child
crawed to this and in some way got the
door open and overturned the pot of
the concentrated mixture on her hands
and dress. Putting her hands TO her
mouth the burning liquid touched her
lips and burned them very badly. The
child screamed and Mrs. Cantwell rush
ed in and tore off the dress and in so
doing she spilled the I've over her right
arm, which was also very badly burned.

Dam On the Winnibtgosh-
ish Lake to Be
\ l. s3sa Abandoned. II

The United Sta tes engineering de-
partment has decided that the dam
situated on Winnibigoshish lake. at
7 thu hea0waters Oi the Mississippi
river, must be abolished and the
water emptied as soon as possible,
says the st. Paul Globe. The r ser
voir was built in 1S9l at a cost of
$4,000 and has cost $l0,0o0 a year
for maintenance since that time.
The dam referred to is badly In
need Of repairs. The river and har-
bor bill appropriation having failed
to pass at Warrington, there is no
money to be expended upon repairs,
and 50 the dam Ia to be abolished,
az it Ia claimed it would be danger
ous to allow it to remain filed an
other year.
The water will be out at the earli-
est possible date during the coming
summer when the Mississippi river IL
low and the gates will not be closed
again. The usefuln ss OF the monster
reservoir will be thus destroyed.
There are four other dams at the
head " ters: One at Leech lake, one
at Pokegama falls, one at Pine river
and one at SANDY lake.
' t'All these four dams," said Capt.
Frederick v. Abbott, of the United
States engineering department in the
Globe building yesterday, "are in
need Of repairs, except. the one at
J Sandy lake, which is new reservoir,
having been completed three years
agu, but as no money was appropri-
ated this year for such a purpose the
repairs cannot be made."
The Winnibigoshish. Leech lake
and Pokegama reservoirs form q
distinct group, with the PokegamP
az a distributing reservoir for the
water discharged from the other
two. Pine river and Sandy lake res
ervoirs are ON opposite sides of the
Mississippi. INTO which they dis
charge their waters, at point much
below Pokegsma fall. The five res
ervoirs hold a total capacity '!of
about O,0N. .0oO, 900 cubic feet.
The reservoir at Lake Winnibigosh.

dents during the dry seasen whom
