Madison Journal: When thinking
people east and west shall take in the
character of Mr.. McGillivary's patron
age distribution bill, it will subject
the state to greater redicule than did
the anti-corset piayfulness. This latest
absurd measure { which proposes TO di-
vide the spoils of state among the coun-
ties on basis of population would
seem incapable of getting through the
senate as it has by vote of Is to 10,
except to those who know the clreless
activity and many resources of it's au-
thor. As was forcibly brought out 10
the debate, the matter of patronage falls
within the domain of political conven-
tions, not of the statutes of the COM
monwealth. In half the time spent on
his scheme of riveting political SQUAD
bling and spoils mongering, Mr.. Nc,
Calvary could have devised of civil SER
vice reform that would have made him
eminent in the annals of his state. AS
il ie, he is putting. Wisconsin on level
with Kansas in point of freak legislation.
Mr.. McGillivray is taken altogether too
seriously.

EQUALITY IN TAXATION.

II equality in taxation is to be So
cured there should be no distinction
between individuals and corporations.
All should be taxed alike and upon the
value of their property Then there
could be no ground for complaint.
1t is obviously unjust to tax one citi-
zen who may have his money invested
in business block for the full value
of his property and to tax another citi-
zen who may have his money invested
in corporations of quasi-public char
acter upon it's earning power. Such a
distinction may and often does result
in exempting from taxation the invest
ments of the citizens interested in the
corporation, while necessarily increas-
ing to just that extent the burden OF
the citizens whose money is invested
in private enterprises and who are
obliged to pay taxes on the value OF
their property, whether they derive any
revenue from it or not. Milwauk ee

HEART OF THE DESOLATE.

HEART OF THE DESOLATE.
BY WILLIAM HAUGHToN.
Heart of the desolate,
Sad and nigh broken.
1Cod the compassionate
Sends thee His token:
Mercy shall cover thee,
Healing thy sorrows;
Love watches over thee,
Hope for the morrow.
Flee to the hills for thy Refuge unfailing;
Flee as the dove that is wounded and ailing
Flee as the host to the light-giving fountain
Lo! the wild tempest rolls back from the
mountain.
Mercy is measureless
Trust is confding;
Heaven not treasureless;
Low and abiding
Vert thou the only one
Jesus would hear thee,-
Stricken and lonely one
Comfort Is near thee.
Heart of the desolate burdened with sorrow !;
Hearthe compassionate, hope for the morrow.
Christ thy Redeemer will fail thee, no never;
Love watches over thee, now and forever.

A Good Ope ming.

There are at least 20 mines In the vi
cinity Of Custer, which are fairly well
developed, which numerous tests from
time to time have proven will pay well
for mining and reduction. BY this we
do not mean to say that the ore from
these mines will pay to ship to asmelter
as in most cases the gold is in combina-
ton with tellurium, bismuth and other
volatile bases, which renders the ore
unfit for treatment by the smelling pro-
cess. The gold passes off in the fumes
of the metallic bases with which it is
associated in the ore. 1t has been as
certained. however, that these ores
(silcious in character) yield their gold
contents readily to either of the wet
processes, chlorination, cyanide, or
bromine.
A plant then, say Of about 20 tons per
day capacity, of either of the above
mentioned processes. is what is needed
in this camp. Home capital is not
available, and those who are chiefly in
terested in the establishment of such a
plant are not at this time able to build
it. We have talked with many of our
representative miners, and more pro
gressiye citizens, and we find that 1t is

Nearly Lost His Money.

The Minneapolis Times Of the 3rd
inst. publishes very interesting letter
from its Manila correspondent under
date of January 23rI, in which the fol,
| lowing reference is made to Lieutenant
P. ID. McClelland of Company 1 of Gus
ter, and his trusted bodyguard, "Kanaka
John:"
"Kanaka john" native Hawaiian,
who is kind of trusted bodyguard and
all around handy man to Lieutenant
| McClelland of the South Dakota regi-
ment, had strange experience a short
time ago, which had it not been for the
timely appearance Of his employer,
might have cost him dearly. Kanaka
John talks the native Tagalog language
and has frequently gone on exploring
expeditions into the country. He looks
much like Filipino and never had my
trouble in getting through the insurgent
lines.
Recently the native soldiers who come
into the city have been watching John
quite closely. One day Lieutenant Nc
Clelland missed his money belt contain
ing $500 in gold, also his watch. John
was also missing, and did not put in APP
pearance for two or three days. 1t look
ed as if the trusted Kanaka had stolen
the leutenant's valuables and departed.
But one day when the South Dako ota
officer wa down by the railroad station
he suddenly caught sight of John, who
was apparently a prisoner in the hands
of two insurgent officers. When the
Kanaka saw his friend he gave an ex.
clamation Joy, ran toward him, and
gave many profuse expressions of happi-
ness. He said that when he left the
lieutenant's room he saw the money
belt and watch lying on the bed, and,
as he was about to take a walk, he
thought it unsafe to leave them. He
therefore put them upon his person and
proceeded down Malacan avenue, but
had not gone far when two natives came
up, one on each side OF him and entered
into conversation. They invited him
to enter gulley or hack, which seemed
to be awaiting them, and when he de-
clined they silently pointed two ugly
daggers from beneath their arms toward
his sides. He thought it best to comply
with their wishes and soon found kim-
self in the insurgent lines, where he
learned that he was to be tried as spy.
He saw two Filipinos shot on the follow
ing evening and although he protested
his innocence, he did not have much
hope of coming out alive. The insur
gent officers decided, however, to take
him to Malolos and to consult Aguin.
aldo, and it was while they were about
to board the train with their prisoner
that Lieutenant McClelland appeared
John still had the lieutenant's money
and watch, but his revolver had been
taken away by the natives. There was
much rejoicing in the South Dakota
regiment when it was learned that
"Kanaka John" had returned after so
narrow an escape.

A Pierre special of the 7th inst. says /:
Gov. Lee this evening disapproved the
bill increasing the salary Of governor
and judges of the supreme and circuit
courts, the bill to abolish days OF
grace; the bills to license steam en-.
gineers; for beet sugar bounty; to pay
j. B. McCloud $500 for board Of meK
and horses in the Indian uprising OF
1901; to prevent illegal voting at eau
cuses; to abolish the Office of insurance
commissioner, and the bill for deposi.
tories of public funds and handling
through the state board of auditors.
One of the principal reasons advanced
for the dsapproval of the last bill is that
there is no provision to compel banks
to bid for funds, and no way provided
for care of the cash by the treasurer, in
case banks fail to bid, that would leave
funds in their hands regardless of any
action on their part. In the general ap.
preparation all that portion relating to
the maintenance Of the Springfield nor
NAL school was stricken out, as well as
500 for premium for insurance on the
building at Springfield. and $3.50 pei
year as expense Of supreme court re
porters. The bill to license the practice
of osteopathy was approved.
