The tendency to total depravity on
the part of the wicker lounging chair
deserves mention by way of warning.
The summer, to be sure, is ended and
the seductions of piazza chairs are at
an end; not only, however, are thera
other porch days to come, but the
wicker chair finds favor as indoor fur
niture and the visitor is likely to find it

of time one or two of the small nails

varieties of these pretty chairs part
company at the point with the cane,
and sad is the fate of bodice or shirt
waist that comes in contact with the
same. The resulting rent almost in
variahly describes two sides of small

sometimes plays similar ugly tricks
when it becomes roughened. The best
preoaution is to cushion seat and.cush-

Minneapolis, July 80, 1900.
Col. Jos. Bobleter,
New Ulm, MINI.
Dear Sir: note by the New Ulm pa
pers that Herman Nagel has purchased
the land contained in the peninsula
north Of Third street, and intends to
cut down the timber during the winter.
1t seems pity that this should be done
I have always looked upon both the
Moth and South Peninsula IN the Min:
nesota river at New Ulm as part of the
futule park system. This. natural park
adds to the beauty of the city and
should be retained for the benefit of the
public, together with that strip of land
which on the map of New Ulm is re-
served as the Public Landing, and which
also contains some timber. The city
during the past few years has given
away considerable of it's North and
South German Park to the railroad CON-
panies and we have very little land re-
served in the city proper for park pur-
poses. In years to come the river front
will probably be sought more than any
other part of the town, if shade is pro-
vided. 1t strikes me that the CONNER
cial Union should take the initiative in
securing the retention of some of this
land for park purposes. The expense
at the present time would not be ex-
cessive, and if the public could be
sufficiently aroused to SEE the necessity
of raising funds at this time have no
doubt that the small amount necessary
to prevent the desolation and desecra-
ton could be raised. I wish you would
take this matter of preserving the pen
insulas for park purposes into your
hands and talk with some of your
friends and members of the Commercial
Union. You can count on me for a
reasonable subscription for that purpose
at any time. Yours truly,
CHAs. L. ROOs.

Is Roosevelt Really Brave.

New York Journal: Governor Roose.
velt has publicly declared that all Dem.
ocrats are "dishonest ard disorderly at
home, cowardly shirkers abroad"
This rough-r1ding statement makes if
proper to inquire what Governor Roose-
velt's character may be in regard to
courage.
Physical courage, of course, is conced-
ed to>him.
He held responsible position as as
sistant secretary of the navy. In that
position good character-fertility of re-
source-had he possessed either, would
have made him invaluable to the coun-
| try.
He gave up his position and demand
ed place in the limelight. 1t was Civ
en- to him. The plain English of it was
that he had to have chance to show
off. He got the chance. and he showed
off we'll. AS leaders of his rough riders
he selected an interesting collection of
young New York dudes-and there is
moi, the slightest question that they all
showed excellent grit together. There
is no question that with 80,000,0o0 peo-
pie looking on Roosevelt is physically
brave. But plenty of men are brave un-
der such conditions-even Democrats,
sometimes. In fact there were Demo-
Gratis among the rough riders. 81
Roosevelt is not coward in the lime
lighr-that is settled.
+ But what about his courage in other
ways? %S@ i 81 5@.N. ii s. ~5 IS.
b When he ran for governor he prom
ised to punished the canal thieves. They
were all Republicans. They had behind
them Platt, who could help Roosevelt
to higher place. Roosevelt did nothing
to them. .
In dealing with the canal ring Roose-
welt deliberately broke bis word there
is no question at all about that.

An Extra Session Necessary.

The situation in China IS growing
more acute with every day that passes,
and each days developments make it
more and more certain that the United
States will have to send much larger
| force than has heretofore been contem-
plated. We have not the troops to spare
for that purpose, and it is become there
| fore evident that, however much the
president may desire to escape the ne
| cesslty Of calling an extra session of
| congress, he is confronted with an emer-
gency which will make it an unavoidable
duty to do so. Moreover, the march of
| events in China is rendering it more and
| more difficult, and may soon render it
impossible, for the government to ad-
here to the lines of its present prudent
| policy in assuming that we are not at
war with the Chinese government but
with lawless mob, or at the most a
revolutionary party which for the time
being the legitimate government of Chi
ma has been made and is unable to re-
strain. There may be groundwork of
| truth in this, but the more light that is
thrown on the situation the more it
seems probable that this convenient dip
lomatic fiction cannot much longer be
maintained. Russia has already 1ecog-
nized the fact that China, by invading
its territory, has declared war against it.,
and has accordingly dismissed the Chi
nese minister. The other powers are
evidently preparing to do the same. It
may be necessary upon further disclos-
ures Of the completely of the Chinese
government in the massacre of the lega-
tioners and in other acts of hostility for
the United States also to declare war
against China-wh1ch can only be done
by congress.
But aside from this the necessity of
providing more troops renders the call
ing of an extra session of congress I'M
perative. This is clearly shown by Con-
gressman Stevens in an interview. Both
be and Congressman Tawney are of the
opinion that such call cannot be long
delayed and we are inclined to concur
in their opinion, for which they give
weighty reasons. -St.Paul Pioneer Press.

ton of reserve to liability and a gain of over
s., GOo,000 in bullion in the week The improve
nent in the Bank of Englands position is reflected
i'll the decline in the open market discount rate in
London in the last week from as per cent to Sss
per cent. The growing ease of the London market
precludes the possibility of gold exports from this
centre to London but further shipments will
doubtless be made to Paris. 1t is reported but
not confirmed, that the Bank of France has bor-
rowed S5,0o00o0 in this market. The Sub-Treasury
continues to be debtor at the Clearing House, and
so far this week the loss to the banks has been up

but the receipts from the interior and the Sub
