Can the Transvaal Expect Help from
Europe?

According to the German newspapers,
Kaiser WILLIAM II. has no intention Of re-
peating at this time the anti English demon
stratlon which he made in the early days
Of January, 1896 just after the collapse
Of DR.. JAMEsoN's raid. At the same
time, they intimate that, IL some other
European power should propose a Joint
intervention on behalf Of the South Afri-
can Republic, the proposal might not
be repealed by tho Berlin Government.
Even this Is by no means certain, for.
under the tripartitc treaty which Is said
to have been concluded eighteen months
ago between England, Germany and Portu-
gal, and which may become operative at
any hour, the German Emperor may count
upon acquiring, not only Angola upon tho
west coast, but also large part OF the
Portuguese possessions on the east coast, OF
Africa. AS the provisions Of the treaty
could not be carried out against tho wish
of England, in view Of her preponderance
on the ocean, the acqulescence OF Germany
In the conquest Of tho Transvaal would
seem to have been assured.
Let us assume, however, that the asser-
tions made by the German newspapers are
we'll founded, and let us enquire what Euro
pean power would be likely to take the in
itiatlve in a diversion against England and
In favor OF tho Beers. Can such a move
ment DO looked for from France? All tho
foreign wars and domestic revolutions
into which France has entered during
the last fifty years have started in
Paris, and 1t 80 happens that, just
now, in view OF the approaching Ex-
position, nothing Is SO ardcntly desired
as external and internal tranquility by
the vast majority of the inhabitants
of the French capital. We, of course, do
not mean to say that even the Exposition
would restrain the Parisians from plunging
France into war if they felt that the
national interests were threatened in vital
particular. But. II they would not fight for
Fashoda, which would have extended to the
Nile tho French possessions in Central
Africa, they will scarcely fight to uphold
the Boer republics in a part OF tho Dark
Continent wherein France neither has, nor
can hope to have, any territory.
Besides, contest between France and
England would be naval contest, and no
appreciable part Of the British feet would
have to be transferred from the Channel
and tho Mediterranean to South African
waters. No French naval expert believes
that France could cope with England upon
the ocean, unless she had the assistance of
both Germany and Russia.
What reason is there to believe that the
Car would seize the present occasion to
enter coalition against England? Such O
step on his part would obviously cast the
grayest doubt on the sincerity OF his
motives in proposing the recent peace con-
ference. Then. again. how could his Eli
nance Minister. M. DE wrTTE. reconcile the
advocacy II Suoh,-A coalition, which would

THE convention of the State Historical
Society at Green Bay this week is doubly
interesting from the fact that interest
alwaysssattends the doings of the society,
and Green Bay was the scene or center
of almost every early historic event en-
acted within the state 1t must have
been an inspiration to the society to meet
in such place and encounter men ma
tive to the state who have added TO its
fame There could be no cold formality
in such meeting and there was none.
The Society and Green Bay have ties of
conssanguinity which would make form
ality improper.

LABOR DAY.

| Monday las6 was Labor Day 1t is a
| legal holiday in this state and in "a 9th
ers and the District of Columbia. 1t
was voluntarily observed for some time
before it had legal sanction. 1t had its
origin in New York city in 1882. On
September of that year was the first
parade of laborers. Its success led to the
recognition of the day by the Legislature
Of that state and its action was followed
| by similar action in other states. When
labor is thoroughly organized the day
is observed with degree Of ceremony
exceeding that Of any other festival.
| It's original purpose was toimpress the
| people with some idea of the number of
people who toll When iaborers acted
without organization each was wholly
at the mercy of his employer, and in
large concerns the individual was an in
significant particle. Enlargement of con
Germs through concentration of capital
operated to reduce the individual still
more as an industrial factor What
wealth had been doing the laborer was
compelled to do and he soon outdid wealth

ton Labor Day is intended to show
this solidarity SO as to serve as an object
lesson to those not familiar with It's power
Labor organizations have done labor
invaluable service. Without them serf-
dom would be condition of the men
who toll for wages 1t is true that labor
becomes tyrannical at times and Is not
always sufficiently mindful of the rights
of employers. But this condition is more
incidental than general. 1t Is rarely That
even to the extent of injuring itself Ex-
ercise of power to the extent of becoming
oppressive is becoming more rare When
forces designed to work in harmony are
in balance there is less friction and more
mutually. Labor Day is not intended
for carousal nor excess of any kind. Its

view it deserves the heartiest common

he asks is a chance to toll at remunera-
tive wages. The toier is no lawbreaker

does not choose to live on the labor of

MURDER by HUNTERS.

Now that the hunting season is open
we may look for a number of fatalities
rs a result of criminal carelessness
There are so many people who are in
cautious whtn thtir lack of prudence
involves no danger to themselves, and
who would be less regardless of the safe
ty of others if their own personal safety
was jeopardized by their heedlessness
that some form Of punishment suited to
the extent of the injury and not the in
tention should be inflicted
1t is evident that recklessness cannot
be cured by appeals for the safety of
those who are liable to be the victims Of
the hunter who has no thought but for
his own success, His selfshness leaves
no room for consideration of other peo-
pie. When he is armed his poximity rs
as dangerous as that of arattlesnake and
if he was dealt with rs ~ danger to be
suppressed his extinction would not be
necessary to insure the safety of others.
Repeated warnings, many in the shape
of tragedy. have no effect on him. His
t,.oughtessness has in it large share of
criminality The nan who will endan-
ger life by the careless handling of fire
arlI or shooting at Il living object for
the pleasure of killing with a hope that
it may be game, would set spring gun,
if fear Of the consequences to himself did
not deter him, on a travelled path not to
murder, but willingly accepting the
chance. IF undiscovered murder in the
remote hope of securing game.
The hunter who shoots Il living object
without knowing what it is. is a MUIR
derer without malice no matter what
the thing shot may he. He is more dan
yerous when abroad armed than if he
had the small pox and was allowed the
same liberty,
Almost as dangerous. though less Grim
inal is the careless handling of firearlas
in the presence of others, or carrying
them loaded when travelling in COMPANY
with others. The chance of n STRAY
shot is no justification for thus jeopar'
dizing the safety of others The ever
recurring fatalities show that preaching
has no effect against this criminal disre
gard
The legislature when passing a law t,
protect game. should have included som,
provision for the protection of huma,
life. A license should not be issued t,
any one who could not furnish proof b,
competent witnesses that the safety o
people is not endangered by permittin:
the applicant to go armed. And the at
testing witnesses should be held joint,
responsible with the licensed hunter fo
! whom they vouch, for any injury whicl
might result or any crime which Nigh
be committed by reason of his being pei
mitted to use firearms.

LABORI has made a bold move in the
Dreyfus trial. That it should be neces,
sary is a terrible commentary upon the
administration of justice in France. He
has appealed to Emperor William of Ger
many and King Humbert of Italy to per.
nit the military attaches of both govern
ments. who were the recipients of the
divulged military secrets, to state wheth.

This appeal for foreign Intervention to
save All innocent man, puts France in a
position from which any sef-respecting
nation would shrink. 1t was a bold move
but one justified by the circumstances
attending the trial and the disregard of
truth which characterizes French mill
tary officers.
There is a dramatic feature to the in
terposition which may attract Emperor
William who loves dramatic effect

everything he does. There is one other
thing in connection with this deposition
which must prove Illuminating to the
French officers intent upon the crmvic-
ton of Dreyfus. What they say on the
witness stand receives no credence ont
side their own narrow circle of preindic
ed cunspirators. What the German and

CHICAGO PLATFORM IN TOTO.

CHICAGU FLAlfVhu IN lOIO
The advocates of the adoption of the
Chicago platform in its entirety urge as
one of the chief reasons for their strenu-
ous demands. the avoidance of inconsis-
teucy. But they weavea tangled web
in the attempted adjustment of the new
issues on which it is desirable a position
be taken with some of the declarations
of the platform which is to endure for
all time The triumvirate which Is to
tote the democratic chariot does not
include tariff for revenue only, without
which the antitrust chariot horse will
be a very sorry nag. indeed.
What is the sense in declaring against
the trust and refusing to enlist the SER
vices of that which will be most efficaci-
ous in destroying these combinations
whose continued existence is a menace
to the welfare of the country Indeed
it seems the only agency that can at
present be used with effect. Without it
the chariot So far a. opposition to
trusts is concerned is cheap John ad-
vertising vehicle of as much import as
the sandwich man exhibiting bills of
fare designed to inveigle customers into
a basement restaurant
When the Chicago platform is adopt
ed the party is committed to postpone
,nf a in, col
terms. What sincerity can there be in ii
declaration against trusts when the
mother of trusts is guaranteed inn
munity from disturbance? The trust
hourishes under our present tariff laws
and the Chicago platform declares that
these laws are not to be disturbed until
tle money question is settled. The
doctrine of 16 to | is forced to the
front as rider on the propc sition to
abolish trusts
If the Chicago platform was right in
1896 it is right now. What is right i'll
its entirety must be right in its parts
To modify in part is to destroy that
beautiful proportion which has challeng-
ed admiration until it Appropriated
worship. I'VE may add to but we can
not subtract. There is repulsion be-
tween the anti-tarif reform plank of the
Chicago platform and the proposed anti |
trust plank of the platform Of 1900. The !
consistency which precludes modifica-
on of the Chicago platform will hardly |
approve of the injection of such an in
congruous element as an antitrust plank |
would prove.
What glorious inconsistency it will be |
t. denounce an evil with unreasonable |
capacity for harm if perpetuated while
sustaining its source to the extent of |
guaranteeing it from disturbance. This |
indeed is 'condemning the offense and |
not the doer of it But the platform of |
1895 is a declaration of principles the
wisdom of which time has approved and |
TO reject u title of which is heretical The |

of it in hair pulling with the tariff pick

lT BEGINS to look like war for Great
Britain. 1t will bea war of petty dimen-
sions of course but this will not prevent
it from having features of annoyance
to Great Britain. The sentiment of the
civilized world is opposed to war when
the contestants are SO unevenly matched
as in the case of Great Britain and the
Dutch African republic.
