At n Killing Pace,

New York, July 2S.-George McFad-
den and Joe Cans of Baltimore fought
20 rounds at a killing pace in the arena
of the Broadway Athletic club tonight
to what Referee John Stills called a
draw.
A majority of the 5000 persons who
packed the auditorium of the club was
of the opinion that the colored lad
from the Southern city had made the
better showing, but the contest had
been so fast and interesting that cheers
alone greeted the decision.

COUNTRY TRAINING SCHOOLS.

The county board of Marathon county
appropriated 81, 800 for training school
for country teachers The state will
pay one-half of this sum, leaving the
county to raise 81 $50 1t was designed
by Supt. Christensen and others to pre-
sent the matter of a training school for
this county to the County Board at its
session this spring. but circumstances
prevented the carrying out of the pur-
pose.
The members of the Board should give
the matter some thought pending the
annual session The country schools
have always sat below the salt whenever
any body charged with educational du-
ties met in convention. The cause is
apparent. There was no one to cham
pion the cause of these schools Even
bodies made up of men whose interests
lie closer to the country school than any
other educational institution, confess by
their failure to act in behalf of these
schools that here economy should begin
Country members of the legislature glad
ly fall into line when appropriations are
asked for the University or for normal
schools but seldom raise their voices in
behalf of the schools whose interests
should he their special care.
The high schools have teachers special
" prepared for their work at the expense
of the state. Country teachers are train
ed at the expense of the schools they
teach. Here is an opportunity offered
by the state TO train teachers for schools
for which no provision has heretofore
been All that is asked is that the coun-
ty meet the state halfway. 1t is not
wise to preach economy in the face, of
such an opportunity, 1t is economy tc
take steps to make teaching efficient and
valuable. Let the Manitowoc County
Board decide to act favorably ON this
question at the annual session

The Rand & ROemer Hardware Co.
EIGHTH and YORK STRS, Manitowoc Wisconsin,

WEST SUPERIOR is in bit of trouble
over its city printing. The city printing
was given to d daily paper which had
been published two years before the
award, but legal holidays Were skipped
and so it was not published every day
except Sunday as the law provides and
hence comes within the purview of the
law. The contract was awarded after
the passage and publication of the law
and hence the plea of being retroactive
cannot be made. This law was enacted
at the instance of the small dailies which
were eligible under its terms, so as to
prevent competition The small dailies
of the state are responsible for great
deal of reprehensible legislation The
publication of the official ballot is an
instance, though the legislature of 1897
properly limited the compensation for
such publication to a reasonable sum.

RICHARD Z. BLAND, the great silver
leader died at his home in Lebanon
Mo ON Thursday last. Among the lead
ing advocates of free silver, Bland was
one of the few whose contention had in
it no element of selfish consideration.
He favored free coinage of silver because
he believed in it and not because he
sought notoriety as Its champion or poll
teal advantage by its success. He was
earnest, honest and argumentative and
eschewed the dramatic. Bland was of
the type of Thurman, more solid than
SNOWY and with full belief in the justice
and ACCESSIBILITY of what he advocated,
He sought to implant his views in the
public mind by force of reasoning, and
not to secure their adoption by the de
stfuctive method of antagonism.
He was respected by all because there
was no suspicion of his honesty and every
one who gave ear to his words know il
was not personal aggradizement he
sought but the public good, even though
he erred in his selection of the means.
An honest man is never dangerous as he
is always ready to repair error and
Bland was an honest man.

HAVE EMERGENCY FUND

The people OF this state and Minnesota
lief in the case of New Richmond 1t
increases ones respect for mankind to
observe the readiness with which contri-
buttons are made to assist those who
have encountered serious loss 1t makes
people better to respond to appeals for
assistance when the object is worthy and
the distress genuine. When the contri-
button is spontaneous moral sentiment
in the benefciaries is elevated through
sense of gratitude.
But there is a feature of human nature
which comes TO the surface on these oc-
casions which it is not SO pleasant to
contemplate. There are people whose
sympathy for distress assumes no active
form and is carefully limited to feeling
bad" for those in need of help. These
people can easily direct who should
give, but the list never includes them.
selves. That form of charity which
finds expression only III words Is usually
insistent upon others bearing the bur
den. As a consequence the burden OF
affording relief falls upon a few in every
community.
There is not the celebrity in voluntary
contributions which is essential for inn
mediate relief when such Is needed
Not that response is hating, but the ma
chinery of receiving and forwarding
must be adjusted and put in operation.
Stricken communities turn instlnctlvely
toward the state government for help.
But all it can do is to appeal to the peo-
pie and offer assurance of the pressing
need OF assistance The work must be
taken up by cities and by "a comparative
" few in each There should be an
fund provided for by taxa
ton. This would enable the state gov
erument to afford instant relief and not
await the action Of municipalities which
in turn must deal with the minutiae OF
collecting and receiving. The emergen-
cy fund need go no fnftner IMAM dHOru-
ing relief for immediate distress. The
work Of aid in restoring conditions may
be left to the benevolence Of individuals
The prompt action of individuals, cor
porations and municipalities was such
that immediate wants We're supplied
with degree of promptitude which
could not be exceeded by anticipatory
organization But such promptness can
not always be counted upon Besides
there is some satisfaction III knowing
that when the state assumes the work OF
charity, those who are profuse only Ill
wordy sympathy are forced to contribute
more tangible.
