SENATOR WILSON ON WASHING
TON POLITICS.

In an interview few days ago Senator
Wilson of this state used the following
words:
"rhe republicans will stand firm and
fight the campaign on their platform.
They are opposed to the Chicago platform
ami all it represents On the other hand
the democrats cannot win on their plat
form without modifying it to meet certain
views"
From that we would infer that the SEN
ator is in favor of carry ing out the pledge
of his party to use all reasonable means
to gain the free coinage Of silver through
international agreement, and not to agree
with President Mckinley and Secretary
Gage "to more thoroughly commit the
country to the gold Standard In an
sHer to the question, Can fusion he
made successful IN your state this ear,
SENATOR" Mr.. Wilson replied:
"In this matter there are changed con-
ditiUns. There are two representatives in
congress to elect, two judges in the su'
preme court, and the legislature will
choose United States senator. II is the
expectation OF the re ublican5 to name
men of ripe judicial attainments for the
judges OF the supreme court. Ii face
there il strong desire to secure non
partisan bench, and eliminate political
considerations As lar AS possible in select
ing men Tor the court"
Certainly, Senator. That is just the
kind OF men We all want; but, as polite al
consultations never have been entirely
eliminated from the Judicial mind as yet,
and as the people propose to try their
hanl at legislating again next winter,
they are tired of having it against them
and will try to find men for the place
who will think that the constitution,
which was made by the people, was made
for the people. We have had enough OF

WAR IMMINENT.

Each DAYS news as heraldei through
the press shows that "A war between the
Uuited States and Spain is becoming
more and more probable with each re-
curing day. The report OF the commits
sion which has been investigating the
cause of the disaster to the batteship
Maine has been handed to the secretary
of the navy and the president, but its
findings are not yet made public. What
ever facts this report may reveal will have
very little effect in deciding the attitude
OF the United States, as that deplorable
event was not the cause of the strained
governments. OF course it has tended to
widen the breech which already existed.
We are not certain that that calamity has
not delayed rather than FASTENED HOSTILE
ties. 1t is doubtful if congress- could
have been held In check and prevented
from passing resolution recognizing Gu
ban belligerency, if not Cuban independ
ence, before this.
All hopes OF ending the war through
autonomy or conquest, which was i'm
peratively demanded by President Nc
Kinley, are now dssipated, and have
been for some time. The shock which
thrilled the nerves of the whole world
when more than 30 of our brave seamen
were mangled and destroyed while peace
fully sleeping in their berths with their
gallant ship riding at anchor in a sup
pose1y friendly harb)r, has pal-ie
the tongue Of congress and stayed its
hand while waiting an investigation. We
repeat, the Maine disaster was not the
cause, but merely a shocking incident OF
the present conditions. The real cause
was Spanish inhumsnity, which was
going on before the Maine went to Ha-
yana, and has been going on at an in
creased ratio ever since. The horrors
and atrocities depicted by Secretary Proc
tor and Miss Clara Barton of the Red
Cross society, to which women and chill
dren and the sick and aged inhabitants in
the reconcentrado camps are subjected,
SURPRISES in devilsh cruelty and wicked
ness those of the worst prison pens where
men have heretofore been immured.
That those things shall cease is the de-
mand of the American people. What
ever the report on the disaster OF the
Maine may be, the question of humanity
remains, and must be settled right.

number of yards actually required by the
people in it's own stste-cotton goods that
they need for their comfort and happi-
ness-the number OF yards it would take
to clothe the whole human race to make
them comfortable. and see ii the cotton
crop OF our southern states was too big"
and il "the world didn't want so much. !"
Down with this rot Of overproduction Of
anything necessary to the comfort and
happiness of the human race. There
never has been such a thing, nor will
there ever be. But give the people the
means with which to get what cotton
goods they want, and the price to which
cotton would rise would only be governed
by the corresponding price of some COM
peting commodity.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.

The Michigan legislature met in extra

consider measure he has devised for in
creasing taxes on railways, telegraphs,
and telephone companies. The governor
has found that while those corporations
hold large proportion OF the property in
Michigan they pay but little taxes. The

diton confined 70 tina, state. 1t exists in
every state and territory in the Union.
The strange thing is that republican
governor should see it and attempt to
stop such unjust Discrimination, which
has been so beneficial to those corpora
tions and has helped them so much in
paying dividends and aiding the repub-
lican campaign committee. Populst
governors have frequently pointed it out
but when they succeeded i'll getting a
law passed that would Justly equalize

TO FURNISH A GOLD MARKET.

Senator Cullom of Illinois introduced q
bill in the senate yesterday which had
been sent to him by the National Bush
ness Mems League. 1t provides that 90
importations of merchandise or manu-
featured articles, or Of other articles i'm
ported from foreign countries, shall he
paid in gold coin of the United States,
and the remaining 80 per cent in such
currency Of the United States az the sec
rotary of the treasury may designate.
The only merit IN Incorporation is it's
boldness. Against it is all the iniquities
of tine accursed exception clause, which
the gold gamblers got inserted in the
greenbacks IN 1862, whereby they sue
ceeded in robbing the people, especially
the soldiers who were fighting the ma
TONS battles, of untold millions of dol
lars.
The effect of such law would be
simply this; Gold, and the currency
designated by the secretary of the treas
ury, which would not be silver under the
present secretary, would cease to crcn-
late The currency thus practically de-
monetizei would be the only money in
general use, ani would be tn s,ouly money
used IN the purchase of goods, imported
or domestic. The importer would he
compelled, on the arrival of his ship, to
take such debased money for which he
had sold his goods, to the bank, and
with it purchase gold and the other ia
vOret currency at whatever price the
banker SAW fit to charge. The National
Business Mems League, which is com
posed OF importers, manufacturers, large
merchants and bankers, are allied to-
gether in this cause, as they would be
all benefited thereby. The importer
would add the extra price paid for gold
and preferred currency to his goods the
manufacturer would have thereby an IL
creased protection which would enable
HIM to raise his prizes the merchant
could raise the price on all goods on
hand IA we'll As those purchased suhse-
quently, and the consumer would pay it
all. The patriotism % of our wealthy
classes is showing itself early. The
United States senate had at one time
been looked upon 10y the common people
with disfavor, but now it is to the senate
they look to save them, and they are
glad to know that at this time such men
az CnllOm are in the minority.

QUEER LAKE SAlAWIk.
Its Waters Grow Warm In Winter and
Men Can Fish There with Clubs.

The rich placers of the Klondikc are
not the only curiosity of the country
traversed by the Yukon. No; far from
Dawson there is in Alaska a really ex-
tiaordinary lake which was named
Salawik by its discoverer, Rev. +. Tosi,
a missionary among the sayages.
This Jake. which is 80 miles long, and
about Is miles wide, is perhaps the only
one in al that extreme northern region
which does not freeze over during the
winter. No communication has been
discovered between it ard the sea,
nevertheless, at high water upon the
coasts of the northern ocean, the level
ofthe lake rises, and it falls again at low
tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawik
a salt lake; on the contrary, is waters
are good to drink. But another Of its
rccularitics is that its temperature
riecs in winter and falls in summer.
When all the water courses Of the neigh
boring country are completely frozen
over. Lake Salawik becomes so warm
that il is really pleasant to battle IN it.
On the other hard, in the summer time
the water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes il in the win
ter time a Mecca for fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is 50 great

When she had slipped away.

Well, sech a bill O fare as that
