Spoke at the Banquet.

Acting Governor Jesse Stone was
one of the specially invited guests at
the banquet rendered to United States
Senator-elect Joseph V. Quarles by
the Merchants and Manufacturers
association of Milwaukee last Friday
evening at the Plankinton house
Mr.. Stone responded to the toast,
1.-The State of Wisconsin," speaking
as follows:
wish to express my thanks to the
committee having this banquet in
charge for the honor shown me in in
viting me to be present and take part
in the exercises.
regret deeply the absence of Gov
ernor Scofeld from the state, for
know he would have been glad to join
with you in thus honoring the guest of
the evening. | am not accustomed to
public speaking, and tonightI wished
that were, that might do Justice to
the subject which you have assigned
me. lam just beginning to learn little
something Of fwhat the term The State
of Wisconsin, means. lam just begin
ming to learn something of her insti-
tutions-something of her resources
and possibilities-the greatness of her
Institutions, and her power to easily
adapt herself to the changing needs
of her citizens, and this KNOWLEDGE
emphasizes my inability at this time
to even attempt to speak upon it in a
large way.
| feel, however, like congratulating
the people of Wisconsin upon the very
reputable senatorial contest which
ended but recently, and more yet upon
the fact that our state is to have in
the senate of the United States two
such able and honorable gentlemen as
Mr.. Spooner and Mr.. Quarles.
[ believe there are ;ew people in
the state who do not feel proud of the
brilliant record which John G. Spooner
has made in the senate as a leader and
counsellor, and no one of US who
knows Mr.. Quarles has a doubt that
we shall be equally proud of his re-
cord in the senate.
[ have thought several times lately
that if | were in Mr.. Quarles' place
should be in doubt which to be the
more grateful for, the fact that was
selected for so high a position, Or the
fact that the people of the state 50 gen.
orally and enthusiastically approved
the selection. This splendid gather
ing tonight is evidence of the gener-
Gus appreciation of the people of Mil
waukee of the honor shown to favor
ite citizen.
In closing, I wish to congratulate
the guest of the evening upon his
well-deserved popularity, and to wish
him the highest honors that can come
| to him.

SPANISH GUNNERS.
Why Did They Make Such o Poor
Showing at the Rattle
of ManiIa7

Lieut.. Bradley A. Fiske, y. S. n, of
the Petrol, writes an article for the
Century, on "Why We Won at Manila"
Lieut.. Fiske says:
Considering that there were about
38 Spanish gun captains, one may
reasonably ask: Was there not even
one of them who could shoot straight?
There is no apparent reason why a
Spaniard should not be able to shoot
as well as anybody else. Is bad shoot
ing an inherent trait in Spaniard? t?
If not, was the bad shooting due to
lack of discipline? There is no reason
to believe it; and the usually accepted
idea Of the Spaniard would tend to
make one suppose that there might
have been too much discipline rather
than too little. Was it due to lack of
intelligence on the part of the officers?
The officers of both the Spanish army
and navy represent the best of the
blood of Spain, where the ordinary vo-
cations of trade and in a measure, the
civilian professions are deemed be-
meath the patrician families; and the
literature of both services bears con-
vincing proof of the excellent instruc-
tion which their officers have received,
and of their devotion to and interest
in their service Was it due to lack of
courage? The Spaniard is, and always
has been, brave; and he was brave, very
brave, in Manila, on the 1st of May.
Was the bad shooting due to the con-
stantly changing direction of the ships,
necessitated by the maneuvers? Not
at all, for the ships remained in col
umn, and nearly motionless, for the
greater part of the time.
But had there been enough drill of
the men in the handling and firing Of
their guns dnder way, and under cir
cumstances Stimulating battle? This
question we are unable to answer def
nitely; but the impression which we
receive from civilians. natives and 9TH
ers does not lead US to believe that
there was the same labor and time
spent on practical gunnery drills at sea
as in our service.

Beet Sugar Plant.

There seems to be excellent ground
for believing that Watertown stands
good chance Of having a beet sugar
plant. W. H. Wheeler, of Beloit,
who addressed a meeting held here in
that interest a couple Of weeks ago, was
in the city again Monday He feels
certain that if 100000 is subscribed
here he can get outside parties to in
vest 100000, and thus practically
make it an assured success. Several
gentlemen of this city are anxious
to invest their capital in this enter
prise, and if a few more will only
come forward and put their shoulders
to the wheel there is no possibility
of failure. We have an abundance
of idle capital, which might just
as well be earning from 20 to 80 per
cent. This has been the experience
OF Well-managed beet sugar plants,
and where they have no such soil
from which to raise sugar beets.
Mr.. Wheeler, as is we'll known, is
man of large experience, and knows
a good thing when he sees it. He is
not urging this enterprise for the pur-
pose of wasting his time and money,
but because he feels that it would be
a good paying investment.
A committee of our citizens, which
will include Mayor Mulberger, Alder
man Wertheimer, F. E. Woodland and
Fred Kusel, will depart for Bay City
tomorrow to give the beet sugar plant
In that city thorough inspection,
and thus familiarize themselves as
far as possible with the details as
we'll as the expensive features of the
business. These gentlemen are good
representatives of the commercial in
terests of this city, and their recon-
mendation will be very safe guide
for those who may be contemplating
an investment in that industry.
