And what reason does the Times give
TOR this curious alteration on it's part:
Because it and the Democratic party
differ on Il matter of coinage, which
the Times agrees involves none of the
great and fundamental doctrines OF
Democracy. and which therefore it
ought to discard; but, that being so.
and the party still standing for these
great doctrines as jefferson stood.
wherefore. on so small n matter, shall
the Times abandon these doctrines,
hSht the Democracy and do all it can
TO promote the success of the whole
pot and boiling" OF Rcpublicanism.
which it declares tend to the destruc-
ton of all human liberty and free
self-government"?
The fact is that while the Times
pooh-poohs the issue upon which it
turns against the Democratic party. "a
trifling one, the leaders, organs and
masses of both parties consider it the
issue that temporarily, at least. swal-
lows up all others; and Mr.. Bryan,

no less do the Times and it's Republi-

siderable sums of money have been sent

done to relieve the destitution caused by
the destruction of nearly the entire bus

cities and state authorities of Wisconsin
should cheerfully meet whatever tax on

found to be necessary to put New Rich

pear to be moving III the matter with a
sympathetic appreciation of the terrible
misfortune which has befallen the young

Commencement Exercises

The Opera House was crowded to
suffocatlon Thursday evening when the
graduating exercises of the New Ulm
high school were held. The members
of the board of education, the superin-
tendent and teachers were seated on the
beautifully decorated stage, where the
class motto "Perseverando", tastefully
adorned with flowers was also placed
conspicuously. The graduating exercis-
es of the high school are usually we'll
attended, but this last one created an
extraordinary interest as manifested by
the attendance.
An instrumental duet by Misses Hilda
T. Koch and Eva V. Klossner opened the
program of the evening, followed with
the salutatory address by Adolf F. Bur-
meister.
The class quartet, Eleanor B. Mullen,
Eva V. Klossner, Dwight F. Mowery
and Trudie F. Hirsch favored the audi
ence with an exquisite vocal number and
Dwight F. Mowery then delivered an
address on 'Universal Peace" This
young gentleman deserves full creditor
his able effort to discuss subject, al
most too difficult for one SC young, in
such thorough manner. We venture
the prognosis that he will at some fu-
ture time make his mark as speaker.
Miss Hilda T. Koch was chosen vail
dicterian, and it must be said that bet
ter choice could hardly have been made.
Miss Koch spoke on "Popular supersti-
ton" gracefully, fuently and eloquent
ly, taking her full share il the applause
accorded the speakers and vocalists.
President Chas. q. Cooper of the Man
kato high school spoke on "The Indi-
vidual's Obligations to Society" fully
exhausting the subject. In conclusion
Mr.. Cooper presented the diplomas to
the eleven graduates: Adolf F. Burmeis-
ter, Trudie F. Hirsch, Andrew J. Kaess
Hilda T. Koch, Eva V. Klossner, Louise
NJ. Meile, Dwight F. Mowery, May a

The program was concluded with 8

FRED WILLARD, of the First South
Dakota Volunteers returned from Ma
Mia and thus expresses himself in an in
terview with st. Paul Dispatch repre-.
sentative:
"What is the sentiment among the
boys regarding coming home2 Well, 1t
is this way. Every man understands that
he is enlisted to fight the Spanlards, not
to fight .niggers.' But while there IS
fighting to do they will stay by it for
two reasons. One reason is that they
can't get away and the other is that their
pride keeps them there. They are afraid,
if they should demand their discharge
now, they would be called towards when
they reached home. But I know that
practically every man on the island is
sick OF the fight and believes the war is
useless. In my opinion, 1t will take
many more troops than we have now on
the island to subdue the Filipinos. IT
they would stand, we could clean them
out in short order. But they won't. They
run from our troops, and after our boys
return to Manila or any other point, the
Filiplnos flock back into the captured
territory and the same work has to oe
done over again."

The horseless carriage which recently
made trip from Cleveland to New
York covered the distance of 7O7 miles
in ~ hours and "a minutes running
time, travelling over the ordinary coun.
try roads. The average speed was Is
miles an hour, but 20 miles were often
made over good pieces of road. The
motor was gasoline engine, and it is
stated that the cost of fuel for the whole
trip was less than 81. With span of
horses, at an average speed of so miles a
day, which would be big work for good
horses, it would have taken over tw O
weeks to cover the distance, and the cost
for care and feed of the horses could not
be less than 81 per day. The difference
in favor of the automobile in the matter
of time and cost is somewhat start.

SPECIAL SESSION.
City Dads Consider the Construction of Drink
ing Fountains.

City council met in special session
Monday evening, j. Klossner in the
char and all members present. A COM
munlcation from the mayor, notifying
the council that 5000 had been forward
ed by him to the mayor Of New Rich
mond, Wis. as advised by citizens and
members of the council, was read and
the action of the mayor approved.
Fred Nagel & Co. were awarded the
contract for constructing the smoke
stack at the pumping station, their bid
of $3.50 being the lowest. Work will
be begun at once.
Messrs. Ottomeyer and Stuebe ap-
peared before the council to agitate the
question of drinking fountains for the
city, which they regard as an urgent
necessity. Referring to Mr.. G. H. Ross
offer to donate fountain, they urged
that the offer be accepted and an addi-
C1Olal FOUNTAIN De eTeCCeu, Ine 1OCdllty
to be designated by the city council.
The latter resolved that Mr.. Ross be no.
tilted of the acceptance of his generous
offer, the locs tion of that fountain to be
left to the discretion of the water works
committee. Mr.. Ross wants to have the
fountain located in front of the Brown
County building, but this the council will
not accede to. It is not certain whether
Mr.. Ross will stick to his offer should
his demand be disregarded. After the
erection of this one fountain, which will
be placed in the center of Center street,
between Broadway and Minnesota
streets, it remains to be seen if another
fountain would be desirable. The whole
affair was referred to the committee on
waterworks with power to act.

Necessary Precautions.

Necessary Precautions. -.'.. 4.
However we choose to regard the liza
bility of this section of our continent tt
the awful visitations of the kind which
has fallen with such crushing and crue
force on New Richmond the experience
of each succeeding year shows that the
few and simple precautions which are
needed at least for human safety are gen.
orally dlsregarded.
The awful suddenness with which that
tornado descended on New Richmond
will scarcely find a parallel. In every
other case Of a tornado attended by ia.
tai results, at least in this vicinity
when the visitation did not come at
night, there was ample opportunity to
reach places of safety, if such places
were available. Familiarity with the
passing storms of our summer season
render many of US Indifferent. 1t was
so, unhappily, in this case. But it should
never be so. There is but brief peri
cd, that of the transition of spring into
early summer, when these storms pre-
vail. They have many well-defned in.
dications. The so-called cyclonic cloud
is familiar to most people. And while
that cloud does not but rarely reach the
earth in the vicinity of him who is watch
ing it most intently, it represents an at
mospheric disturbance, the evil effects of
which are sure to be felt somewhere not
far from where he stands.
1t is not so many years ago since the
industry of tornado insurance was quite
profitable and active. 1t is so no longer.
And yet it is as truly a business necessi-
ty with the farmer who lives within the
area in which tornadoes take place as is
tire insurance. 1t is worthy of remark
that in all the destruction which has
been wrought during the past three or
four weeks IN Western states through
this same agency there was little or no
insurance. Fire insurance will, of course,
not cover such casualties In few cas-
es where fire broke out in the ruins of
New Richmond it may be possible to
recover; but even that is doubtful.
Every really thoughtful and prudent
person living IN any outlying district in
any Of the states in which the tornado
occurs ought 20 provide his home with
a cyclone cellar and ought to protect his
property by placing on it some reason
able amount of insurance in company
organized to protect against such risks.
There seems to have been no thought of
either precaution in any case that has
thus far been called for the general at
tention, except in one instance alone in
Nebraska. And yet with the construc-
ton of all underground resort attached
to each household, and with insurance
more generally resorted to, much of the
misery and suffering which such events
carry in their wake would be saved.

THOSE who have doubted the accur-.
acy of the predictions of weather prog
nosticators have reason this spring to re-
wise their opinions. Heavy rains, hail
and tornadoes have been predicted and
the predictions came to pass. Storms
of major or minor vehemence have visi-
ted various parts of this and neighbor-
ing states, hut the disastrous conseqen-
ces of these storms are insignificant when
compared with the cyclone which de-
vastated New Richmond, Wis, last
week. The storm passed directly over
the city, leveling business blocks like
houses made of paste-board, and fire
broke out to add horror to the scene.
First reports were that $50 we're dead
and over 800 hundred injured.
Later reports added to the horrors of
the occurrence. The town of New Rich
mond had a population of about $500,
and it is said that fully one third of
them suffered injury. The tornado swept
through the business center of the town,
cutting swath about 800 feet wide,
leveling everything before it, and leay-
ing death aud desolation behind. Fire
added to the horrors, and there was no
way to stay it, until help arrived from
neighboring cities, the flames feeding on
the helpless victims. Those who lived
to see the sight say it beggared all de-
scription. There was circus in town
at the time, and many were in from the
surrounding country, who shared in the
carnival of death.
Relief trains we're made up at St.Paul
and Minneapolis, and doctors and nurses
were hurried to the scene on an errand
of mercy. The dead were buried; many
of the wounded were taken to St. Paul
hospitals.
The effect of tie storm were by no
means confined to New Richmond. Wi
mona, Mimi, suffered severely, every
bridge in the county was washed out,
and several persons were struck by light
ming At Faribault and several other
places in southern Minnesota terrific
hail storms pounded growing crops into
the ground and did great damage.

WHILE in conversation with Mr.. G..
Freeman, stalwart Republican now
connected with Wyoming mining firm,
that gentleman expressed his grave fears
as to the ultimate result of the Philip
pine war; Even if successful our gov
ernmental policy according to Mr.. Free
mans views, based upon personal know
ledge, would bring dire disaster to the
inhabitants of this continent. The ma
jority of the people inhabiting the Phil
ippine Islands are inflicted with loath-
some diseases, caused by climatical con-
ditiors, pernicious to foreigners. A con-
slant export of our young men to the
Philippines, their inevitable retirement
from service and subsequent return to
this country will cause among our race
spread of the disease, common to the
Philippine Islanders. The results might
not show up during the next years but
show up they will, and later generations
will suffer for the grave crimes commit
ted by clique blinded with greed and
avarice.
Mr.. Freeman has travelled extensively
and knows thing or two about our
new acquisitions, If they be such, and
can be retained. The latter will not be
accomplished except by force of arms,
christianity must be fired into to Phil
ipinos out of gatling and rapid fire guns.
This sentiment, expressed by repub-
lican, will be corroborated by the re-
turning volunteers. The lack of enthu-
siasm and patriotism has manifested It.
self sufficiently, the recruiting officers
are not able to supply the wants of the
government regarding volunteers for
army service in the Philippines. The
whole nation would arise in arms to de-
fend the country against foreign attacks,
but not even few thousand can be in
duced to fight against nation of semi
savages who are striving to gain their
liberty. The American soldier obeys
the orders of his superior officers, but he
does not fight now as he did against the
Spaniard. Glory is not to be gained in
this war, death from lurking diseases
only awaiting the misguided youth, who
