For years, before River and Harbor
improvements were begun on the
lakes, the East was receiving large
appropriations. Now that the West
stands chance ofhaving the chairman
of the Rivers and Harbors committee,
and Kenosha it's own representative in
that position, we should not lose our
golden opportunity. We may never
have such another. Will Kenosha rise
to its opportunity? If so, she must
lose no time in securing the land north
of the north pier, so that when con-
gress convenes she can tender to the
government a deed of the land neces-
sary to widen tie entrance.

The eliminating event in the Span
ish-American war has occurred. The
Spanish members of the peace commits
sion have accepted the terms proposed
by the United States, and with that
acceptance the war terminates, Spain
makes her farewell bow to the Western
hemisphere and the Philippines, and
the parting of the ways in Americas
foreign policy becomes distinct. The
terms over which Spain has dubbed
so long, and the final acceptance of
which by the Spaniards means so much
to America and the world at large, are
briefly these:
l. Twenty million in cash.
2. Equal trade privileges.
3. Religious freedom and protec
ton.
f. Protection to property of Span
iards.
5. Each government to satisfy the
claims of it's own citizens for damages
growing out of the war.
Of course there remains several
minor matters still to be settled. The
treaty must be signed and ratified by
the two governments. But these are
both a foregone conclusion.
With this treaty occurs the browning
act of the most brilliant war in
modern history, and the natural re-
suit of that dazzling triumph
of American prowess at Manila Bay
on May l. 1t seems strange that a
war which had for its purpose the
relief of suffering at our very TIRES
hold should begin and end and,
indeed, center about those far away
islands of the Pacific and result. not as
was intended at the beginning, in the
mere independence of Cuba, but in the
emancipation of millions of people from
the thralldom of barbarous despot-
ism, and the assumption by the United
States of great and significant respon.

light of recent events, the question

President McKinley's message will

which will meet the demands of the
occasion and receive the support of

The Milwaukee Journal devOteS a
third of column to the old, old outcry
against the present condition of the
currency, but like most of the rest OF
US discreetly refrains from any effort to
locate the evil or suggest a cure. 1t is
very easy to complain of the inefficiency
of the monetary system. 1t does not
require any great degree of brains to
do that. Even the least of US have
done it time and time again. But it
does, however, require something OF
mental acumen and perspicuity to
thoroughly diagnose the case and pre-
scribe a remedy. This became quite
evident when the free silver solution
was offered as panacea for our fnan-
cial ills. We are free to admit that
our currency is far from perfect, but at
any time it is a delicate matter to
tamper with, as again witness the free
silver fuss, and at the present when,
though something may be wrong, still
it operates with reasonable degree OF
success under favorable conditions, it
will not bear tinkering except in the
most cautious and skillfuI manner
Awkward fingers must be kept off. It's
mechanism is too sensitive to endure
such sledge hammer treatment as that,
the mere suggestion of which, so nearly
shattered it in '96. When the Repub-
lican administration undertakes a
money reform, let us hope it will not
be such one as that, nor calculated to
so result. 1t will not be the product of
haste, indiscretion, and perhaps dis
honor; but of deliberation, wisdom and
honesty.
In the meanwhile the Republican
party is in no way pledged to reform
the currency. The principles of it's
platform and the promises they implied
in regard to that question have been
fulfilled. BY virtue of those promises
the Republican party did not essay to
inaugurate new system, but it did
attempt, with success to avert a3system
of finance which threatened bank
ruptcy, reputation and national dis
honor. 1t avOwed it's devotion to sound
money and has maze good that avowal.
1t has done all in It's power to recuper-
ate an exhausted exchequer, and also
to maintain the silver and paper cur
rency at parity with gold. Moreover,
it has sought to promote an interna-
tional agreement, and in so doing has
redeemed the last letter of it's money
pledge
If, however, while the Republican
party is in power, opportunity offers to
so re regulate the currency as to &C
complish a public benefit instead of
injury, it is probably safe to say, the
opportunity will not be lost.

SOME Democratic newspapers are
already charging the recently elected

before the said legislature has had
opportunity to prove itself either SO or
otherwise. This does look little odd,
but possibly it is the NATURAL deduction
from the history of Democratic legis-
atures.

MINSTREL SHOW FOR CHARITY

Interesting Exhibition is Being Prepared
For the Benefit of the Poor.
An effort is being made to arrange to
give minstrel show in the near future
for the sake of the poor in this city. A
paper was started this morning asking
for the support of the people in the
undertaking and it has been largely
signed by nearly all the business and
professional men on Main street. Fred
Parkhill has charge of the paper and
says that the plan is receiving universal
commentator.
The parties at the head of the move
ment intend to give the minstrel show
during the holidays, under the patron
age of Mayor and Mrs. 0. M. Petit.
Only local performers will be asked to
take part and all services must be do
mated.
The approach of winter has been a
hard blow to many of the poor of the
city and many of them will soon be
thrown on the city for support, while
as many more, whose pride will not
allow them to ask the city for help will
suffer untold hardships. This latter
class the promoters of the minstrel show
hope to care for during the winter and
it is hoped that the citizens will give
their entire support to the charity
Minis rels.

(From Sundays Second Edition.)


WASHINGTON, July g. = The commits
soner of internal revenue is receiving hum
dreds of kilograms and letters from mer-
chants, manufacturers and boards of trade,
as well as from senators and representa-
tiveS, asking his construction or the war
revenue law of 1898 on the point as 10 VINO
should pay for and affix stamp on tele-
graphic messages and on express receipts
or bills Of lading given by express, railroad
and steamboat companies and other COM
mon carriers for goods transported by them.
He has made general answer to all such
inquiries to this effect AS to the stamp
on a telegraphic message, the law does not
specify who shall furnish 1T. 1t simply I'M
poses the tax of / cent on each message
and prescribeS in Section 18 that no tele-
graph company or its agent or empoye
shall transmit to any person any dlspatcn
or message without an adhesive stamp de-
noting the tax imposed by TINS act peing
stamped thereupon, and in default thereof
shall incur a penalty of $10.'" The com.
missioner holds therefore that the sender or
the message should stamp it.
In the case of the stamp required to be
affixed to an express receipt or bill OF lading
or other common carrier. the law specl.
fically states that 1T shall be the duty or
every railroad or steamboat company, car
rier, express company or corporation, or
person whose occupation 1t is to act as
such, to issue to such shipper or conSignor
or his agent or person from Wnom any
goods are accepted for transportation bill
of lading manifest or other evidence OF re-
ceipt and forwarding for each shipment re-
ceived for carriage and transportation,
whether in bulk or in boxes, bales, pack
ages, bundles or not so inclosed or included,
and there shall be duly attached and can
ceed as in this act provided to each of
said bills of lading, manifests or other
memorandum and to each duplicate thereof
a stamp of the value of / cent.
1t is held, therefore, to be clearly evident
that if an express company or other car
rier accepts goods for transportation it
must issue to the consignor bill of lading
or receipt duly stamped and the stamp cam
accent
goods offered for transportation, except on
condition that the consignors shall pay the
price of the stamp in addition to the regular
charge for the service performed pro-
posed to be performed, the internal revenue
laws afford no remedy. AS to whether the
carriers, If appealed to, would supply a
remedy the commissioner holds that the
courts must decide.
