Wisconsin, which is celebrating its
semi-centennial as State, has some
thing to celebrate. 1t is now COM
monwealth of more than 1000 inhab-

largest of which, Milwaukee, is nearing
the 100000 mark. In 1910, eight years
preceding it's admission to the Union,
the territory had less than Al, 900 inhab-
itants; in 1850, when it had been State
two years, it contained over 100000. 1t
is interesting to see its growth by de-

Sieradz in Russian Poland has been
the scene of an odd strike. The pro-
fessional beggars of the town have
been in the habit of calling at every
door on Fridays and receiving the GUS
tomary aims of Polish groschen,
worth about half cent. On recent
Friday they omitted their visit, and
later sent around a delegate with the
notice that, unless they received two
groschen from each house, they would
emigrate in a body to Czentochau,
where a miraculous image Of the Holy
Virgin attracts pilgrims and where beg
CARS reap rich harvest. AS in return
for the aims the beggars pray for the

TEN CENT TAX ON TEA
PROPOSED PLAN TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE WAR.

New York Importers See Little Profit For
Themselves In It-Think the Retailers
Gains Would BE Less-The Consumer
Would Get on Lightly.
New York tea importers say that If
the government needs $40, 900, 600 to
help carry on the war the money can be
raised in no more simple way than by
putting duty of 10 cents pound OH
tea, as is proposed by Senator Tillman's
amendment TO the war revenue bill.
South Carolina, by the way, grows tea
the output is one-fifty- thousandth of
the country's consumption--but no one
accuses the Carolina senator of desire
to protect this infant industry at the
expense of millions of Americans who
have never heard of Carolina tea and
probably never will
The importers estimate that we will
import this year about 100, 900, 900
pounds of tea, Japan sending us 49,
600, 900; China, $4,000, 600; Formosa,
$4,000, 900, and India and Ceylon, r., :
900, 900. Last year the import was | l3, =.
900, 900 pounds, an increase of nearly
20, 600, 900 over the 1896 import, de-
spite the fact that new law had gone
into effect, shutting out OF the country
millions of pounds of tea below fixed
standard. The average cost abroad Of
the tea imported here last year was 10
cents pound. The import of coffee was
1873, 000 600 pounds, the average value
being trifle more than ii cents a
pound.
The Japanese minister at Washington
makes this argument in his formal pro-
test against the levying of duty on
tea. The importers he says, have eds
counted the duty" and will have such
large amount of tea on hand before
July l, the day when the war revenue
bill will become law, that little will
be imported during the year, and the
government will not receive the expect
ed revenue. If this were possible, Japan
would not be affected by the duty, and
all the minister's arguments against the
duty would be uncalled for, but the
market conditions are the reverse.
The amount of last years tea crop
left over in the United States was un-
usually small, and the total import of
the new crop will not reach Is, 900, 900
pounds before the end of June. A duty
on tea would affect nearly the entire
import of the year. The tea season opens
in April, and the shipments begin in
May. The import is about the same
month by month. Already, in anticipa-
tion of the proposed duty, the cost of
tea in the foreign market has gone down,

General Aguinaldo Appears 20 BE an Ally
of Whom We Need Not Be Ashamed.
There has been much talk about the
savage character of the Philippine IN
surgents Probably many of them are
pretty hard lot They have never been
fully civilized, and such civilization as
they have come into contact with has
been of repellent and brutalizing kind.
1t has meant 10 them oppression and in
Justice, the whiplash and the thumb
screw. One could hardly wonder if they
preferred TO have nothing to do with it,
but TO remain savages. If the Philippine
natives had all been angels, the 800
years of Spanish outrages they have suf-
fered might have been expected to trans
form them into devils.
Nevertheless they are not all bad, nor
all mere barbarians Their leader, Cen
eral Aguinaldo. may confidently be
said to be proving himself good leal
of a man. He is showing his ability to
organize and discipline the native
troops, TO hold them in hand, to lead
them effectively against the intrenched
Spanish regulars, and thus to win vic
tories of considerable magnitude. He is,
moreover, conducting his warfare in
civilized fashion, with far more regard
for international usages than the Span
iards have shown on their side. To
what extent his character will be further
developed ON the same lines and to what
extent he will show himself capable
