MAUD GONNE'S HOT STUFF.

QUEEN Victora is receiving a
great ovation from her Irish sub
jects, during her visit this week to
Ireland. However it was found
necessary for the government to
seize whole edition of the United
Irishman on account of its refer
ences to the Queen. The objection
able article, which created pro-
found sensation, was entitled ''Thc
Famine Queen" and in part said:
''In truth, for Victoria in her de
creptitude of her eighty-one years,
to have decided, after an absence OF
half century, to revisit the coun-
try she hates, whose inhabitants
are the victims of the criminal
policy of her reign, the political
necessity must have been terribly
strong; for after all she is a woman,
and however vile, selfish and pitiless
her soul, she must sometimes trem-
BILE as death approaches when she
thinks of the countless Irish mothers
who, shelterless and watching their
starving little ones, have cursed her
before they died.
Every eviction during the sixty
three years has been carried out in
Victoria name, and if there is justice
in Heaven the shame of those poor
Irish emigrant girls, whose very
innocence renders them an easy
prey, and who have been overcome
IN the terrible struggle for existence

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

The Superior Citizen, the leading
democratic newspaper in the Tenth
Congressional district, in speaking
of the Congressional situation, says:
IT is hoped that Mr.. Jenkins will
receive the nomination by unani-
NOUS consent, as he has made one of
the best congressman in the state.
Mr.. Jenkins is a man of the people
and as such is revered and loved by
the voters of the Tenth regardless OF
partisan bias.

DEWEY A CANDIDATE.

A FEW months ago the whole
people were throwing themselves
almost into spasms hollering for
Dewey, the hero! If the Admiral
had been content to rest on his
laurels as hero his memory would
always be sweet to the American
people. But like Caesar he was am
bilious, or at least his new wife is,
and with great deal of surprise the
American people are informed that
the Admiral wants to be president.
Of course the announcement started
people to discussing the new candi
date, and it has just been learned
that Admiral Dewey is democrat.
This is in contradiction to recent
statements of the Admiral's Mildred,
who said; i am democrat, and my
husband is a republican, so all the
people will vote for him. The
Dewey Republican Club of Balti-
more, has changed it's. name, and at
a special meeting of the Association
the portrait was turned around,
while the members sang: 1.-THE
Picture that was Turned Toward
the Wall. :" The leading democrats
of the country are each coming for
ward and entering a general denial
to the charge of bringing Dewey
out. and the great old ailorfighter
seems to be making a mighty poor
fist of politics. Dewey says he
never voted in his life, but he thinks
that "the Office of President is not
such very difficult one to fill. !"
While he was returning home he ex-
pressed himself to the effect that
President Mckinley should be re-
nominated and elected. Dewey was
a wonderful man until he decided his
home-the gift of the American peo-
ple-to his bride. Since his mar
rage he has been doing all sorts of
ridiculous things and Washington
people, and the country at large,
seem to be of the opinion, that the
hero of Manila is tied altogether to
close to Mrs. Dewey's apron strings;
and one cannot help but think that
the old saying which usually applies
to love sick old men is very true in
this case, "that an old fool IS the
worst kind of a fool. "
But seriously there appears to be
little chance for Dewey. The dom
, jnent crowd OF the democratic party
are unquestionabIy welded to the
candidacy of Bryan for the nomina-
ton. A few of the gold demo
Gratis will likely espouse the cause
of Dewey, but they are SO decidly in
the minority that there is rot
ghost of a show of their winning.
Mrs. Dewey is undoubtedly at the
bottom of the Admirals candidacy,
and she is making a political mon
key out of a great naval hero.

Capt. Swift on Jenkins.

Rice Lake Leader: Hon. John ].
Jenkins is candidate for renomina-
ton as repres sentative in congress
for this congressional district-and
the Republicans could do themselves
no greater honor than to renomin-
ate him by reclamation. He stands
high among his associates, has
commanding influence and reflects
credit and honor on not only the
district but the state.

AFTER THE TIMBER-WHAT?

Col P. HI Swift, of che Rice Lake Leader, in
the Milwaukee Journal:
Many who PROFOUND the query in
volved in the heading to the article
have but a very faint conception as
to the wonderful resources and
possibilities of northern Wisconsin.
The impression obtains among many
of those who have not visited this
section, that after the timber is re-
moved nothing remains but unarable
lands, totally unfit and undesirable
for agriculture purposes. Such is
not the case, however, for there is a
great area of fertile land that can be
made as productive as any in the
state and which will yield large pro-
fits to the husbandman, if his work
is irtellegengly and judiciously di-
rected, which fact is being demon
strated in those sections where
numbering has given place to agri-
culture.
The disappe arance of the timber
will be beneficial to those who desire
10 engage in legitimate farming, as it
has retarded farming to a great ex-
tent by reason Of those who should
have cultivated their farms, having
found employment with numbering
concerns and neglected their farms ;
and while umbering has been an
advantage in settling and opening
up the country, it has to very
marked degree been a hindrance to
it's development along agriculture
lines, for those who pretended to
farm simply scratched the earth in
very indifferent manner, expecting
but little in return for their labor
and not being disappointed; their
chief reliance being upon the logging
or luln boring companies which gave
them employment and furnished
them with the necessities of life.
But there are many exceptions
and many who got their start in the
employ of the logging concerns have
fine farms and are prosperous and
happy, as all might have been had
they paid more attention to their
farms. The class of which we have
spoken are selling out or being sold
out and succeeded by class OF
farmers who understand their bust
ness and are making their farms
blossom as the rose, and by the in
PRODUCTION of high-grade stock and
the application of new ideas are
making money where others made a
failure.
We have spoken of the fertility of
our soil, and now will speak of it's
remarkable productive qualities.
All of the loot crops yield abund
antly, the cereals do exceedingly
we'll, the crops as general thing
averaging higher than is usual else
where, and corn has become of late
years a good staple crop and is safe
from frost. Our native grasses are
luxuriant and heavy, and produce
milk that tests from Al to II per
cent in butter fat. Our butter and
cheese stands high for excellence in
the market and can be produced as
cheaply here as in any portion OF
the state Sheep. cattle and hogs
can be raised here at profit, but
the country as a whole is dairying
and sheep-raising country-our wool
aud mutton being of a very superior
grade and quality, and both com
mand a good price.
The reader may think me extrava-
giant in my ideas and opinions, but
we will hazard the prediction that
within the next decade or two the
agricultural resources and wealth of
northern Wisconsin will be equal to
any part of the state.

SAD STATE OF

Cross may Help

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Secre-
tary of the Treasury has received a des-
patch from Alaska confirming the re-
ports that a most deplorable condition
exists among the native Indians along
the coast from Cape Nome northward.
The treasury officials are powerless to
render any aid to the sufferers owing
to the fact that the department has no
available funds for such purpose, but
General Spalding has written letter
to the War Department, which has a
fund that can be drawn upon in emer-
gency cases like the present, recon-
mending that food be supplied and dis
tributed under the direction of the army
officer in charge of the troops stationed
there. The Treasury Department will
furnish surgeons from the Marine Hos
pital service, and the customs officers
will be instructed to render any assist
ance possible. Inc Red Cross Society is
becoming interested in the relief meas
ures now being taken and it is not un-
likely that it will cooperate to the ex-
tent of furnishing clothing for the des-

Bryan, and that this announcements
from Cleveland will be followed by
similar declarations from Carlisle and
otner big Democrats, including Will
liam C. Whitney. These announce
ments are timed so as TO be gwen out
when Bryan is in the East, tnat their
effect upon public sentiment here may
be greater. The report now is that II

ment at all it will be given to the pub
lie within ten days.
