THE Milwaukee Herold has been in
terviewing the German Americans of
the state on the question of expansion
and from the replies received it is evil
dent the opposition is not as great as
was reported. The fact of the matter
is that people generally take no interest
in the disposition of the Philippine ques-
ton 1t is about the same as with the
sale of the State Park. The people didn't
care snap whether it was sold or not.
Not one in hundred knew there We're
lands reserved for park and majority
of those who did know, did not regard
the knowledge as particularly valuable,

THE papers which speak of Eryai
and his friend Aguinaldo' permit theiI
so-called patriotism to outrun their sense
of propriety. An American would not
feel pleased if some Of the noted English
statesmen who stood as the friends OF
the Thirteen Colonies would be denounc-
ed by an English paper for their sylnpa
thy. The fight of Aguinaldo with his
mother and little child barely escap.
ing capture, suffering hardships in the
woods, recalls Valley Forge and the
blood stained snow.

NEWS from Hong Kong is to the eff
feet that Aguinaldo is willing and anx-
ious to surrender and that the Philippine
junta has advised him to do so. 1t would
be a happy outcome of the affair If
Aguinaldo su1renders he should be treat
ed with clemency so as to convince his
countrymen that United States control
is wholly devoid of revenge. The Fill

relations with the United States. What
is sought by force can be accomplished
by clemency and wise policy of liberal

THE speech OF Joseph Chamberlain al
LEICESTER England on Thursday last was
most significant one in more respects
than one, and will have an effect, almost
lncalculable on the politics of this coun-
try. 1t is an admission that there is an
understanding between the United States
Germany and England, tacit but not
lacking in force because not promulgat-
ed in the usual form. In the days gone
by the republican party used free trade
Now the tables are turned and England :
friendship will be used against the re-
publicans,
And yet setting politics aside, and put
ting out of the realm of consideration
all ideas of territorial expansion by con
quest, an understanding between these
three great powers is apt to make for
the general peace of the country. Nc
one can question that they are the three
great powers of the world in the lines OF
progress and civilization. But an I'M
del standing based on acquisition would
be nothing more than trust and should
meet the opposition of every one moi
willing to subscribe To- the doctrine that
might is right.

JEREMIAH QUINN suggests through
The Sentinel that England show its good
will TO Us by ceding Us Canada. That
would be as effective rs the purchase of
the Philippines from Spain. Any person
who travels through Canada will learn
that there is nothing approaching de,

Canada has practical autonomy now, but
its loyalty to its mother country is in

Of Englands friendship which does not
go to the extent of surrendering any pos
secession as a token of good will But
England could not deliver Canada if il
was SO disposed.

Well, it is a little strange. Wisconsin
has earned more reputation through its
football team and its work with the oars

THE situation in Milwaukee regarding
granting new franchises to the Street
Rail Company for 80 years and extend
ing those now held SO as to cover d like
period is unique, as the former oppon-
ents of the company favor the extension
and those who We're classed as 'monop-
oly's tool" are in opposition. Few people
outside of Milwaukee have given much
attention to the matter and are unable
to explain the psychological condition.

THE Plankinton Bank failure has
proved fruitful of supreme court decis,
ions ON matters of great importance.
Judge Johnson of Milwaukee has had
several reversals and they are of kind
which cannot be pleasing to him He
has appeared a bit arbitrary His course
may not he hostile TO the creditors but
they evidently have that impression and
this fact makes it a difficult matter fol

inton Bank failure. The unwisdom of
selecting as an assignee any person hay
ing connection with the institution that
failed is clearly demonstrated by the
proceedings in this case.

THE FOURTH CIRCUIT.

1t is now quite certain that the next
legislature will readjust the circuits so
rs to relieve overworked judges. The
Evening Wisconsin through its Fond du
Lac correspondent has interviewed the
attorneys Of this circuit and they are
unanimous in expressing the opinion that
division of this circuit has become an
absolute necessity. The plan which re-
ceives most favor is to make one circuit
Of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan; another
circuit to comprise the counties of Man
itowoc. Calumet and Kewaunee.
The attorneys perceive the need of some
immediate action to relieve the longest
ed condition of this circuit at present.
Not only is Judge Kirwan overworked
but so is Court Reporter Bush How to
relieve the situation is by no means sim
pie. Other judges might be called in,
but this would only afford temporary re-
lief. To clear up unfinished business and
conduct what may arise in the ordinary
course of events would require the ser
vices of two judgesa year without inter
mission This being the condition it is
evident that something needs to be done
in justice to the presiding judge. the
court reporter and litigants. Lawyers
are hampered by having cases put over
and many interests suffer. But the hui
name feature is the salient one.

Many spectators witnessed the sight OF
draining the lake into the Pacific ocean
by a tunnel 300 feet long through a
mountain spur.
Inc escaping water surged down a
ravlne through which the small creek,
the natural outlet Of Gold lake had run.
and plunged over the ice of a second
lax below. The weight Of the water
broke the ice with a thunderous noise
and threw it around in great masses.
Gold lake fell 81 feet to the tunnel level,
and the volume Of fresh water. 81 feet
deep, 5000 feet long and 2, 900 feet broad,
escaped into the ocean.
The gravel exposed by the drainage
runs 50 to $50 a ton. The bottom Of the
lake thus contains millions in gold.
