RACINE FACTORY WIPED OUT.
Nail and Tack Plant Consumed by the
Flames.

Racine, Wis, Jan. 19.-The Racine
Nail and Tack company plant, situated
in the manufacturing district on the
north side of the river, was totally de-
stroyed by fire yesterday. The loss
will amount to $4,000, which is COW
cred by an insurance of only $4,000.
The company has not been doing much
business lately, but with the last few
days it has received numerous orders
and expected to do large business.
It is impossible now to tell whether
the factory will be rebuilt. The Chi
cago Rubber Clothing company and the
Belle City Malleable Iron company's
plant, which are located very near the
factory, were for time in danger of
being destroyed.

why Fur Rugs are Expensive

Fur rugs are expensive luxuries, and
this is the season when they find the
greatest sale. The orders for perfect
lion skins are sometimes very hard to
fill, but the very highest of prices are
paid for these rugs with the beautiful
heads attached. An order for fine
Lichtenstien Hartehssti, or African
deer head. may take year to fill
special prices are charged on such an
order, as the remainder of the animal
is rendered useless even for museum
collections, and $3.50 to $500 is not an
unusual price.
Rug skins without the heads do not
bring one quarter the price of those
with the heads attached. The most
perfect lion skin, having a rich color,
handsome names, all the claws. mount
ed, with the full whiskered head at
tached, bring as high as 5000, and no
fine ones are to be had for less than
$1,000 Nearly all of them have some
imperfections, because the superstit-
ious natives usually cut off the heads,
or the whiskers, ears, and sometimes
the claws, before they sell them to
traders, having SUPERSTITION that If
these go out of the country in which
they live the entire species will become
extinct.
The favorite head rugs next to the
lions are the tigers, the white and
cinnamon bears, Russian grizzly, Loop
ard, jagua, wildcat, lynx fox, ocelot
and panther, costing from $3.50 upward.
Buffalo skins have become scarce at
$3.50 apiece, while the beautiful heads
alone now bring as high as $1,000.

Que way of meeting the threatened
danger of militarism is to belittle it; to
pooh-pooh it; to laugh and say "On,
shaw p That is the republican way of
meeting one of the most serious, if not
the greatest question that ever con-
fronted the American people They
ask us to look at the present army of
100000 men and compare it with the
total population of 75,0O0,OOO why
bless you it is only one soldier for
every 80 men, women and children in
the country say they. Are you
afraid of thats You must be very
squeamish and cowardly if you are
If the American people could be
assured that our standing army would
never exceed 100000 soldiers it might
be alarming enough considering our
isolated position and freedom from
danger of foreign invasion, and. yet
might not be so portentous thing as
to indicate any such militarism as ex-
lists in Europe. But that IS not the
right way to look at it, for, in the first
place, it is entirely certain that the
present army of 100000 is not large
enough to answer the imperialistic pur-
poses of the administration. 1t must
be doubled. or the Philippine Islands
must be given up to the Philippine
Islanders. In the second place the
first large increase in the standing
army, will not be the last one. If we
get a tendency toward militarism we
will continue in that direction. The
curse of militarism never comes all at
once. 1t did not come suddenly upon
Europe. 1t was gradual growth. 1t
will be a gradual growth here. Our
standing urmy, as fixed by law before
the Spanish war, was large enough for
all legitimate purposes. If we do not
want to be like France, Russia, Ger
many, and other European nations;-
if we do not want every civilian in the
country to carry a soldier upon his
back, as they do IN Europe, the time to
stop the tide of militarism is now when
it is beginning to set in upon us, and
not later on when it shall be more for
midable, and more difficult to oppose
ii. That is the sensible way to look at
the question:. The question is, or ought
to be, is militarism wrong? If it is
then let us have none of it, neither a
small quantity, nor large one.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel has method
of its own. 1t claims to have discov-
cred that it is not possible to elect
Bryan without giving the democratic
party a majority in the senate. The
Sentinel assumes that this means a
majority for free silver. We wish it
did, but know it does not. There are
two troubles with this campaigning
effort of the Sentinel. In the first place
the Sentinel circulates in the West, aud
Western men are not afraid of bimet-
talism. Republicans in the w est voted
for Mckinley because they thought he
was a bimetalist, as he had always
claimed to be; and because the republi-
can platform of 1896 promised to pro-
mote bimetalism. So far as we know
there were only two republican papers
in Wisconsin that favored the gold
standard in 1896. These were the Mil
waukee Sentinel and the Wausau Rec
ord, The Sentinel cannot frighten
many Western republicans by the bug
bear of free coinage senate. Western
republicans would be glad to have free
coinage, and why not, seeing that it
would benefit them. With Fasteners,
whether democrats or republicans, it is
different Eastern democrats are as
much opposed to bimetalism as Western
republicans are in favor of it, and for
the same reaSon-Self interest. The
interests of the two sections are opposed
on the question If the Sentinel could
brighten Eastern democrats away from
Bryan by its bugaboo of a silver senate
that would be a good stroke of cam
paigning, but the Sentinel does not
circulate in the East, and if it did
Eastern democrats would laugh at the
idea that they favored free silver, or
that it would &c possible for Eastern
democrats if they controlled every
legislature in the eastern states to elect
democrat who would favor bimetal-

this time; that much of the Sentinefs
supposed case is among the possibilities.
But that those states or any of them
should send democrat to the United
State senate who favors bimetalism is
rather too absurd proposition. When
Western republicans find out that they
are cheek by iowl with Eastern demo
Gratis upon the coinage question, and
thatthey are helping Fasteners, demo
Gratis and republicans TO fleece the
western business men, both democrats

hope for bimetalism, not from Eastern
help, but because the West win have
got its eyes opened, and the West is
able to attend to and protect its own
interests in this matter when it finds
out what its interests are,-if it ever
does.
