WHAT ais the Milwaukee Journal
lately? It has very manifest crimps in
it's disposition. 1t insists upon look
ing askance at everything. Anybody
would think that journal that had
reached its eighteenth birthday would
begin to direct it's footsteps in the
straight and narrow path and look
carefully to it's decorum, but there is
about as much ajestic calm" about
the Journal of late as is noticeable in a
bull terrier in dog days. Not long ago
we ventured to remark on the fuss
made over the transfer of the Dewey
home in an editorial beginning with
this sentense, "The yellow fellows are
getting ye11ower," and ending with
this sentence, "But the yellow fellows
must talk" 1t ilhcited the following
comment from the Journal.
''The Kenosha News. Rep. is mis-
taken again. A Republican paper like
the Chicago Tribune warned the ad-
ministratiOn politicians that they
might go too far in attacking Dewey
A Republican paper like The Times
Herald, administration in season and
out, is an example of Republican pa
pers that did not take up the cudgel
in the adniraIs behalf but was by
another Republican journal called to
account for its treatment of the matter
The News certainly aims only to tell
the truth, and should apologize to it's
readers for saying that the charge that
political sChemers were making the
most of Dewey's slip originated with
the yellow journalists"
The matter is not, in itself, worth a
controversy but relative to the late let
ter from Judge Baensch it may prove
of some value in that it demonstrates
the unre1iabi1ity of the Journal as a
reader and interpreter of other peoples
opinions. Regarding the above the
News suggested in the editorial com
mented upon by the Journal that the
administration and the Republican
party were "not in the deal" 1t called
attention to the thorough manner in
which the Republican papers had taken
up the cudge1 in the Admira1's behalf
as evidence to that effect. The Journal
in its comment mentions two papers
that did, to only one that didn't. Final
1y the Journal exhorts the News to
apologize for what it never said. The
Journal cannot find in the editorial in
question the allegation that the charge
that the pO1itica1 schemers were maxi
ing the most of Dewey's slip originated

BROWNS IN TOWN.
Kenosha Theatre Goers Who Saw This Play
Last Winter Say It's Good.

Browns in Town." the latest farce
which will be the attraction at the
Rhode opera house next Sunday even
ing, is in line with the very best COM
edies of the day. It's lines are said to
be terse, its music catchy, the dances
pretty, and the situations well handled.
Altogether it is one of the farces cal
culated to please without burdening
the mind with an afterthought. Its
keenest satire is on the question of
tnatrimony at an early age, and the
possible incidents are c1ever1y deve1-
oped. The fun is said to be efferves-
cent and irresistible and the company
includes many clever people. The adj
vance sale of seats is now in progress
at Dickhaut & Ayton's drug store.

REPUBLICANS might as well own up,
since the Nebraska election, that
Democracy has at last found IAN ISSUE
on which to appeal to the country in
1900. That issue is William J. Bryan, y
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The
oratory of the party may be devoted,
as Chairman Jones suggests, in one
section of the country to clarifying the
10 to dogma; in another to apotheo-
sizing Ag1ina1do; in another to de-
nunciat1on of trusts. But in all Bryan
will be the real issue. Americans all
know what Bryan stands fora fifty
cent dollar, flag hauled down, a
general closing of factories, a stagna-
ton of trade, an army of tranps on
every thoroughfare, a general crash in
There is no need of any resolutions
whatever in the platform as long as
Bryan is to stand on it as presiden-
tia1 candidate. Those who want what
he stands for, as above outlined, will
vote for him. Those who want to see
the present prosperous conditions con-
tinued, the flag kept afoat and Uncle
Sam marching as drum major before a
band of forty-fve states, to whose
music the world must keep step-these
will vote for William Mckinley.

TODAY the people of the United
States will celebrate another. Thanks
giving day. It is doubtful if ever in
its history this nation has had greater
and better reason for thanksgiving
than now. 1t is the custom, and has
been since the day was established, to
give thanks on Thanksgiving day
whether the people at large were alto
gether satisfied that there was reason
for it or not. When the weather is Sc
we're, when the factories are closed, la
Dor is out of employment and money is
scarce, when financial conditions are
panicy and everybody is dissatisfied, it
is not altogether probable that the
thanksgiving services are largely at
tended or highly popular. Even when
our nation has g1orified itself, either in
the field of arms or diplomacy, and
there is cause for patriotic rejoicing,
the average man does not go to the
thanksgiving sermon with his heart
full of gratitude unless he himself has
some material reasons therefor. That
is the feature that lends significance to
our Thanksgiving day this year.
Aside from the more or less remote
fact that our arms have been every
where triumphant and an inso1ent at
tack upon the flag has been subdued,
the Americans have to be thankful for
a condition Of general prosperity that
effects them all closely. The farmer
has good crops; the 1aboring man has
plenty of work and 1arge>wages; the
merchant finds money plentiful; the
manufacturer has orders far ahead;
the capitalist has employment for his
capital; the nation has treasury in
splendid condition Notwithstanding
enormous and unusual pressure, and
an administration in which it feels
confidence, amicab1e re1a tons with all
foreign countries and bright outlook
for the future. Thus both as private
individuals and as citizens of a great
Republic we have reason for thanks
giving. Under such conditions
Thanksgiving day has real signif-
canoe.

The End of the Rebellion.

After duration of nearly ten months
the rebellion in the Philippines is vir
tua11y ended. It began on February 4,
by an attack of Aguina1do's troops on
Gen. Otis before Manila. It has closed,
or has practically closed, by the cam
paign of Gems. Lawton, Macarthur,
Wheaton and Young about 125 miles
north OF Manila. Bantisto, the Presi-
dent of the so-ca11ed Filipino Congress,
has surrendered to Macarthur, and
has renounced all further connection
with the rebellion. The Congress and
the Cabinet, he declares, are scattered,
and will never come together again.
Some of the members of the Congress
and the Cabinet are in American
hands. The entire Filipino govern
ment is dispersed, and Aguinaldo is a
fugitive, with the chances that he will
be captured in a few days. The news
of his capture or surrender at any mo-
ment need not surprise anybody.
Aguina1do's troops are scattered, and
are fleeing in different directions to
hiding places, where they hope to
e1ude capture for few days longer.
The beginning of the end of the rebel
lion has come.
Some fighting on Luzon will still
occur. A demonstration south of Ma
Mia will have to be made against the
rebels before that region is entirely
freed from them. Some guerrilla war
fare may occur north of Manila, and
Aguina1do may secrete himself in the
jung1es or swamps for a few days
longer. Practically speaking, how
ever, the rebellion has collapsed.
When the re-enforcements now on the
way to Otis reach him Gordon will be
stretched around the disaffected dis
trict, and the bushwhackers will
quickly be subdued or captured. One
more question will be added to the
large number with which Congress
will have to grapp1e when it convenes
a week hence. A civil authority of
some sort will have to be provided for
the Philippines. The military opera
tons on any important scale are likely
to be over by the time that Congress
gets together, and the purely political
aspect of the question will present it
self. This will offer difficulties, but
they will involve no loss of life and no
further increase of expenditure. After
a continuance, with one long Interrupt
ton, of state of war since April q,
1898, when the Spanish Government
gave Minister Woodford his passports,
peace is about to dawn for the United
States.-St. Louis democrat.

browns in Town. :"

The fun in the latest farce offering,
Browns in Town." which comes to
the Rhode opera house next Sunday
evening. The situations in Brown
are said to be grotesque1y funny, the
lines bright and witty and the music
and songs catchy. The story that
furnishes the groundwork for the play
IS simple, but original, yet despite it's
simplicity there is not dull moment
in it from sthe opening scene to the
final fall of the curtain. The action of
the farce is rapid and is said to keep
the audience guessing. A peculiar and
humorous feature of the entertainment
is the fact that there is no Grown" in
the play, and yet our familiar friend is
an important factor in the story of the
farce. The songs and music are said
to be very catchy and the advance sale
opens today at the usual place.

Patrick Towhey An Old Soldier Is Roughly
Handled While Coming From Racine


Handled While Coming From Racine
Patrick Towhey, a member. of Com
pany K, 5th Ohio regiment in the civil
war had hard time of it Tuesday
evening while attempting to come from
Racine to this city. Towhey was try
ing to make his way back to soldiers
home in Ohio and as he was out of
funds he jumped into a box car hoping
to reach Chicago, where he had friends
who would furnish him money to make
the remainder of the journey. Shortly
after he got on the car he says that he
was set upon by a number of toughs
who were also riding in the car and
beaten in a terrible manner When
the train was passing through this city
he was thrown from the car by the
men and badly bruised by the fall. He
told / is story to officer Zievers and
showed credentials to prove the truth
of his statements. The officer took
him to the county Jail and then made
an effort to find some of the men who
had taken part in the assault on the
old man. The hunt proved in vain as
the men had managed to board train
enroute for Chicago.

Municipal Ownership.

Vienna has just completed muni-

Berlin will build one underground to
cost S25 100000, and has municipal
markets bringing an annual revenue
of $645,oO0; its municipal savings bank
has 543,O79 depositors and $44,000,00o
deposits. Manchester's gas works
bring in net profit of 100000, its
slaughter houses 100000, and its cleo
tiic light an equal amount. bradford
made from it's electric light last year
$4,000, and Edinburgh $17,50o. Paris
gets public lighting at cost and ST.
100000 a year as share in profits of
six companies, whose rights all revert
to the city on expiration Of charters.
The London county council paid ST.
100000 for tramways, and now works
the system. The municipal printing
plant of Boston made $4,000 in the first
six months of its existence, that sum
meaning, we suppose, the saving as
compared with the previous contract
system.

"GOethe's Last LOve'' Still Living.

AS sixty-seven years will have elapsed
next week since Goethes death, very
few persons now living can have seen him
in the flesh. Baroness Ulrike Won Levet-
zow, however, who has just kept her
n!nety-fifth birthday at Triblitz, i'm Bo-
hemia, not merely knew the poet, but was
even privileged to stir the vast embers Of
the tender passion In his susceptible
though aged breast. In 1923, then a lovely
girl of nineteen, she accompanied her
mother to Marienbad, where the author
Of "Faust'' was making his annual cure.
Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded
without difficulty in getting an introduce
ton, and there ensued on his part a Sc
rious attachment, cordially reciprocated
it is said, by the lady herself. Fear of
ridicule prevented Goethe contracting a
marriage of the May and December type
He tore himself away, writing the we'll
known "Mardenbad Elegy" in the post
chaise that took him back to Welmar
Ulrike having thus won the title of
"Goethe's las tlove," remained satisfied
with this distinction for the rest of her
life, and is still 'Freifraulein' Won Levet-

TREASURER SAVARD IS OUT
INDUCES THE TRADES ASSEMBLY
TO ACCEPT RESIGNATION.
Some Aide rlnen Are Criticized and
the State Federation Meeting
lis Discussed.

At the meetl ng of the trades and labor
assembly last night the resignation of
Thomas Sava1l as treasurer was ten
dered and accel 'ted.
The remainder of the evening was prln-
cipaliy consumed in discussing tt,e coming
state convention Q. f the Federated Trades,
which will be he'll on June u and Is in
this city.
When Mr.. Savar6r's letter of resignation
was read that gen heman rose and cx-
planned his reasons .:o~ resigni ng. In the
first place, he said, his surety bond had
expired and as his term would come to
an end in two months he lid not want
to go to the bother Of obtaining a new
bond for so short time, and ne earnest
ly recommended that the tel m of treas
urer be made one year instead of only six
months as at present. Sec,on oily Mr.. Sa-
ward said that the office of tt easurer is a
troubles ONE one and that he has had too
much trouble and is not hun ting for any
more HIS resignation was Immediately
accepted. Mr. Savard receiv ing good
many compliments on the al 'le way in
which he has filled the office, of treas
urer.
j.
elected to fill Mr.. Savard's unexpired
| term of office, Walter Thomps On and F.
A. Cullum who were also nomi mated both
declining to allow their names II be used.
| Three aldermen came in for mild criti-
| cising Two of the aldermen declared at
the last meeting of the assembly: that they
are firm friends of labor and the eight
| hour system, but it was compE aimed last
night that when the question; of giving
city printing to a non-union firm came
up at Monday council meeting: the COM
| mittee appointed to look after the COM
mon council reported that they did not see
| their way clear to act consistently. These
actions, the committee thought, were an
additional incentive to the labor unions to
|! elect labor candidates to represent them
and not to depend on platforms and prom
ises.
The committee appointed to meet with
the obbers' union is ready and await
| ing a notification from the jobbers as to
what it is expected to do.
The coming convention is evidently very
| close to the hearts of the delegates to the
assembly and they will spare no pains
% show the delegates from the State
| Federation of Labor how Duluth can en-
tertain on such an occasion. The meet
ings of the convention will be held in Odd
| Fellows hall and headquarters will be at
| the Hotel st. Louis. An attractive pro-
gram has been prepared including drive
over the boulevard, a sail on the lake,
banquet and winds up with grand ball
| and reception at the armory.
TO do all this in proper style money is
needed and it Is sincerely hoped that the
! members of the various unions as well as
| the unions as body will contribute liber-
ally to the fund that must be raised.
| Various plans for raising money have
been proposed and reected for 1t is
/ thought best to leave the whole matter in
| the hands cf the different unions with the
confident hope that the labor element in
Duluth will not be found wanting.
