REsOLvED: That the executive committee

gun at Once.
The unanimous verdict of the
Board of Regents of the Normal
Schools of Wisconsin not only
settled the question relative to
the continuance of the Normal
School in this city, but in its
broadcast significance it has estab-
lished a precedent for the future
welfare Of the other six cities In
this state that are honored with
these state institutions. 1t is
within the range of possibilities
that any one Of these other cities
may unfortunately lose it's school
buildings as did River Falls;
therefore in this contest for the
supremacy of what every fair
minded man believes to be just
law, unwritten though it be,
River Falls is not the onl y city
that may reap the benefits of this
triumph.

The fourth Normal school
building was constructed In this
city in 1874-'75 and at about 8
o'clock Monday evening Nov. 20,
1898 fire was discovered on the
third floor which baff1ed the heroic
work of The fire brigade and left the
building a mass of ruins.
At different times since this un-
fortunate occurrence we have had
occasion to commend the gener-
Gus sympathy and tangible as
sistance of the citizens private
and official and also the same of
the civic and religious societies;
the wisdom of the faculty in their
immediate reorganization eliciting
thereby the admiration OF
friends and enemies and the con-
fidence and generous su pport OF
the Board Of Regents; and lastly
but not least the loyalty of the
students who as a body have
adapted themselves to the new
environment with surprising ease
and vigor and have held the work
in all its intricate phases up tc
the usual high standard OF eA-
cellence.
Mass meetings were held Tues
day. Nov, 80, for the purpose O
determining the means to continue
the work. The use of public build
ings, individual volunteer service
and a liberal appropriation from
the city treasury enabled thu
faculty to resume their work a
the usual hour Tuesday P. NJ. will
the loss Of only one-half day.
The executive committee o
the Board of Regents met herr
Dec. 2, and approved of the step
taken by the faculty and gener
ously commended the attitude o
the people toward the Norma
school; they authorized the nQr
chase of new furniture, books ahc
other necessary furnishings. The
new furniture was contracted for
Dec. 6. and it was delivered anc
set up in the new NJ. &. church
ready for use Christmas Eve.

ed the following resolutions. On

months it never beat a single time, day
or night, when it did not cause her
pain. It seemed to keep saying, He

After they had located him in Chick
amauga they went down to pay him a
visit and took his little three year-old
sister with them.
They sent for him and he came to the
hotel, clad in his soldier clothes and
radiant in his manly beauty. OF course,
it was an embarrassing moment His
father had been training himself TO
look proud and stern. but the moment
he saw that staIwart figure (the crook
all out of his back and one inch added
to his height), the very expression he
had fought against so hard sprang into
his eyes. Something big and round and
hard which he could not swallow leap
ed into his throat. His hands clutched
convulsively and ne said to himself,
He's mine; he's minel" There % the
stuff of heroes in him.
And as for his mother-well, she had
not rpractised, and she just fell right
into a pair of arms that gripped ner
like the steel bands around cannon.
1t was littIS hard to talk There

he put away his fourth dish OF Ice

Bob stayed all night with them, and
when they put Toodles to bed he just
hung over her and kissed her and kiss

Suddenly something round and bright

THE RECONCENTRADOES

Two months ago congress solemnly
declared its purpose OF entering into war
with Spain for the purpose OF freeing
Cuba from Spanish rule, and Of rescuing
the starving reconcentradoes which the
Spaniards had driven from peaceful agri.
cultural pursuits and penned up in mis-.
cradle, filthy quarters around Havana to
die. Since then the Philippine islands,
1000 miles away have been captured and
troops are enroute for the purpose OF
concluding their conquest Porto Rico
has been bombarded; Santiago de Cuba
is infested by land ard sea by the Amer
lean forces; but the POOR. starving recon-
centrado have seemingly been forgotten,

ONLY THE SHADOW

When the war revenue bill came from
the conference committee only the >had-

government through the purchase OF sill
yer bullion under the act OF 1872. Assist
ant secretary Nanderlip in speaking OF

the var revenue bill says:
Il cannot see any effect worthy Of

vided that no more than the minimum
amount OF 81 800 600 month, required
by :he law, should be coined. Under
the operations OF the treasury, in the nat

chase Of the bullion were redeemed and

gated sl2 ,65l ,73l, and the segniorage
covered into the treasury on account OF
this bullion coinage amounted 10 So, 49,,
900. Should the operations under the
present bill be limited to 81, 800 900 a

upon the mint, it is not probable that

within the ten months $l8 900 900 coined

left to die, while those in authority are
bending their energies toward a war OF
conquest in direct opposition to the ex-
pressed purpose Of the nation, whose
word was given by congress to the ma
tions of the earth that we distinctly dis
claimed any purpose of acquiring terri
tory.
The administration has openly and
brazenly broken the word OF the nation.
that those who bought and paid for the
administration at the last election may
have new fields Of exploitation. These
NAV seem hard words, but personal adj
vices from Washington not only confirm
them, but the following from the circular
OF Henry Clews, one OF the purchasers at
the sale in 1896. He says:
"Our government is being urged to II
quick aggressive movement to get Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines in our
possession before Spain seeks peace as a
means of setting forth the plea that we
have not made good our ownership by
complete occupation. There seems to be
some mistake in this conception. If Spain
asks for peace. it can only he granted on
our conditions: and il we demand the
Philippines or any other territory as
condensation for our war costs, Spain
must either cuncede our terms or drive
our forces ont Of what she claims to be
her territory and continue the war until
we have completed cur occupation be-
yond all cavil.
Mr. Clews knows whereof he speaks.
for he talks by the card; until we have
completed our occupation beyond all
cavil." Nothing about reconcentradoes
there. No time TO think Of them while
dreams Of conquest fill the minds Of those
in authority. Woe he the time when
this nation, dsregarding its solemn
declarations, starts out on = policy OF
territorial aggrandisement.
And, lest the HERALD be accused Of
faultfndng on account Of political differ
ences with the administration, it may be
well to quote John Sherman ,ex.secretary
Of state, who is nov visiting Puget Sound.
To P-I reporter, Tuesday he said
"We are unfortunate as to the Philip
pines. This is not war OF conquest lard
the occupancy and acquisition of the ISL
ands is in direct conflict with the whole
theory and policy of our government
The declaration of war expressly noted
that our attitude must not be considered |
in the light of one for acquisition of new
.eritory."
