Milwaukee Sentinel, Since the re-
cent war with Spain has practically
Brought the North and South together,
effaciDg the last traces OF sectional Bit
terness left ov Or from the war OF the re-
bellion, the southern states should ex-
perience material benefits from the more
friendly relations that are likely to be
established with the North. 1t has been
the aim of Southern states in recent
years to induce Northern capitalists to
make investments in the south and to
attract immigrants from northern states
These efforts have been attend with
considerable success,too. A recent dis
patch to New York paper from Allan :
ia. Ga, says that the Illinois Central
railroad has, through it's colonization
schemes, settled in Mississippi and
Louisiana from Is 900 to 10000 fa- mers
from the west and the northwest. All
this has been accomplished in le last
four or five years In Georgia, this
dispatch says, no less than $4,000 per-
sons have come from northern states
since 1898. This influx of rev corners
from the north is likely to CONT, 1ss now
that it has begun and the effect of the
war should be to give it great impetus.
If there are inviting opportunities await
ing settlers in the south they will soon
be accepted, for there is certainly more
of a disposition to investigate such
opportunities now that the south is re-
garded as being well disposed toward
northerners. 1t will probably be a
question only of properly advertising
the south's resources and it is most
likely that southern promoters will at
tend to this part of the business.

CLEARY For CONGRESS.

The democrats of this congressional
district held their convention at Spring
Green, last Wednesday, and went through
the motions of nominating a candidate
to be knocked silly by ballots on Nov
8th. Thos. L. Cleary, an attorney OF
Platteville, was nominated on the first
ballot, the vote standing 43 for him to
to Il for Capt. Jackson Silbaugh of
Viroqua. The CENSOR speaks advisedly
when IL says Capt. Silbaugh's name was
presented without his consent and
against his wish. Of Mr.. Cleary, we
know but little. One thing we do
know, however, he has the free-silver,
reputation mill stone hung about his
neck, which is sufficient to drown the
strongest and bravest man in shallow
water the first time he goes down.

An Aged Pedestrian.

George FL. Dalton OF La Crosse, tells
of an odd character he met at the Grand
Army Encampment at Cincinnati. 1t
was J. A Rape, veteran of the Mexi-
can, the Civil and the Seminole wars, SO
years of age, who walked all the way
from his home in Marinette, this state, %
Cincinnati, to take in the union of the
old boys The distance is something
over 700 miles, and he pulled into the
Ohio metropolis in good condition,
ready to walk back, he said,but he didn't
do it. He came back on the cars. The
peculiar part of the whole business is
that he was not com~slled to do it; he
has considerable property in Marinette.

THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
1t is claimed by the war department
that reinforcement of our army at Ma
Mia has been on the tapls for some time.
In view of the fact that the situation at
Manila is now all that could be desired
so fer as the attitude of the insurgents
toward our government is concerned, it
may be that an increase OF our military
forces in the Philippines is counter
poise to any scheme that Germany may
have in the ultimate settlement of the
questions involved as to their owner
ship. The authorities at Washington
have learned that, acting under instruc-
tioDs from Berlin, the German COM
mander-in chief OF the Asiatic station
has made an exhaustive investigation of
the coal deposits of the ielands. His re-
port, which has been submitted to the
Berlin government, shows that the best
Ignite deposits are on the island of
Cebu, one of the Visayas group. Off
Is seem to have admitted that there
can be only one object which would
lead the Berlin government to direct
such an investigation, the desire to ex-
tend German jurisdiction over the islano
which has the largest beds of coal.
1t is now quite authoritatively stated
that in order to avert the commitment
OF any overt act President Mckinley
determined to strengthen Admiral Dew
ey's command, so as to make it superior
to that of the German fleet in Asiatic
waters, so the battleships Oregon and
Iowa are to start for Manila, By way of
Cape Horn, next Saturday or Sunday
