American Opinion On The War.

The English Press continues TO show
great intcres. in the nature Of Ameri-
can sentiment and opinion regarding
the war in South Africa. 1t may be
safely said that the feeling of the
American people is far more friendly
toward The English people, whom
they know, than toward the Boer peo-
pie. who are strangers in the full
sense. But at the same time Ameri-
can feeling is far more favorable
toward the Boer ca8S6 than toward the
English cause in this particular war.
There is nothing paradoxical about
this state of mind. The people Of
the United States have ALWAYS been
in sympathy wish English Liberals
rather than with English Tories
When the leading Liberals are candid
enough, in the face Of the war excite
ment, 20 say plainly that England is
waging an unjust and improper war.

the merits OF controversy At least
it is quite too much to suppose that
such sympathy, growing out OF kin
ship and the possession Of common
language and literature. would assert
itself actively except upon occasions
of magnitude. If England were in
desperate warfare with coalition OF
the great European powers, the Eng
fish blood of America would be aroused
quite irrespective Of the nature OF
the quarrel Il at had led to the war
Just as the German blood OF America
was excited to the utmost on behalf

Wisconsin Editors to be Entertained.

The officers Of the Wisconsin Valley
Advancement association are at work
on plan for the entertainment of the
State Press association when the latter
are to be the guests of the w. V. A.
association while taking an outing
next summer The enterprising peo-
pie of Northern Wisconsin ale deter
mined to LEI no opportunity pass to
let the outside world hear of them and
the advantages offered by the Wiscon-
sin Valley to people looking for
homes. The editor of the Tomahawk
strikes the keynote to the situation
when he says to''entertain the editors
and they will reap the reward twice
over in the amount of free advertising
in the write-ups they will receive, 'or
words to that effect.
The program that has been formu-
lated for the entertainment of the edi
tors promises to be both novel and
entertaining in the highest degree.
The details are yet to be worked out.
but unless there are changes made the
editors will meet at Kilbourn on Mon
day, July 10th, and the first day will
be spent in excursions in the dells OF
Wisconsin, Beyond this point the
arrangements are fragmentary as yet,
but among the features will be flow
er carnival at Wausau on the day
that the eXcursionists reach that
place, to be followed by an entertain
ment in the Opera house in the even
ing.
On arriving at Tomahawk it is pro-
posed that the Press association shall
appoint from their members a COM
mittce Of twenty-five who are TO 90
into the woods, chop down hemlock
or spruce tree, each one Of the com
mittee sharing in the work After
cutting it into logs they are to be
transported to the paper mill where
in the presence Of the editors the tree
is 70 be transformed into pulp and
from that into paper. and in the after
noon +. L. Grayson of the Tomahawk
will print off an edition of his paper
on the paper thus prepared and each
editor and his wife will be presented
with copy as a souvenir
Many other novel features are being
arranged, but are not definitely set
tied, to be carried out by the other
cities in the Advancement association
after all the cities in the association
have been visited the Press associa-
ton Will go into camp in military
fashion, upon the banks OF one OF the
many lakes in the Wisconsin valley,
whore they remain for a week. There
will be fish fries and real Indian war
dances, trout fishing for the women,
and muskalounge fishing for the more
daring of the editorial fraternity.
There will be fishing by the light of
torches as well as fishing by the light
of day, and there viii also be a grand
display OF fireworks on the lake.
II the proposition q the Wisconsin
Valley Advancement association is
accepted, as it undoubtedly will be,
there viii be carnival that viii eX-
tend all the way up the Wisconsin
Valley, and one that has never been
eqnalled III the variety of the enter
tainment to be provided.
