THE Milwaukee Sentinel quotes from
an article in the last issue of the Pilot,
in which we suggeted that the honor
claimed by the Wausau Record as
being the only supporter of the gold
standard among the republican papers
of Wisconsin, during the campaign OF
1896, should at least be divided with the
Sentinel The Sentinel disclaims that
either itself or the Record can make
that claim and says
Throughout the campaign of 1896,
nearly all republican papers in Wiscon-
sin, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, openly advocated the gold stand
thing tor which The Sentinel is dis
posed to claim particular credit is its
insistence, before the meeting at Mil
waukee of the republican convention
in March, 1896, that this convention
adopt a flat-footed declaration for gold,
In giving this advice it acted almost
alone among the republican papers OF
Wisconsin"
The Sentinel is correct in stating its
attitude as to the gold standard before
the meeting of the state republican
convention We distinctly remember
that.
In our article we said we did
know of any other republican papers in
the state that advocated the gold stand
ard besides the Milwaukee Sentinel
and the Wausau Record, during that
campaign, and suggested that the atti-
tude of friendliness to bimettalism
taken by the republican press of the
state generally at that time probably
misled republican voters, who were
opposed to the gold standard. The
Sentinel thinks differently and says
that the republican papers of the state
according to the best of its knowledge
and belief "a rather cautious statement,
by the way,) "openly advocated the
gold Standard As to this our reeol-
lection is the same as that of the Wau-
sau Record, only we think the Record
ought to have divided honors with the
Sentinel,-or taken second place.

The following editorial paragraph
clipped from the Milwaukee News,
seems to hit the mail squarely on the
head "The year and century is near
ing an end with the two great English
speaking nations of the earth-the
United States and England-the ma
tons that boast they represent the
flower of civilization at war with weak
powers. Both wars are those of con-
quest, against people fighing for the
right of self government. These are OF
coercion in which the hypocritical plea
is made that tie advancement of civil
cation warrants the onslaught these
great powers are making against weak
powers. The more backward nations
of the earth have cause to rejoice that
they have not reached the degree of
civilization that compels them to go to
war for conquest on the heels of the
recent peace congress"

An English WeYler.

VIII our friends who are inclined to
believe that British colonial rule is
good, and that the Transvaal republic
is an oligarchy of Dutch farmers which
denies civil rights to al aliens within
its limits, sit down a moment and rea-
son with us. Throw aside prejudlces,
as far as possible, and let us see what
may be inferred from admitted facts:
Here are two important facts not dis
puted by anyone:
First, the able bodied Beers are all
gone to the war, leaving their wives
and children at home with the Uit-
landers and Hottentots. Yet we hear
of no sign of an outbreak there, al
though we have been told that the Uit-
landers have been much misgoverned,
and that they outnumber the Beers two
to one.
Second, in Cape Colony which is I'M
der the rule of a British governor, Gen.
Gatacre, fearing revolt has issued re-
concentrate order compelling all males
over twelve years of age to go into
camps, and there sustain themselves.
This is that previously unheard of
measure whereby the Spanish general,
Weyler, excelled himself in cruelty,
shocked the civilized world, and made
the blood of Americans boil to the fight
ing point. 1t was considered cause for
war by the United States against Spain.
Consider these facts, friends; consider
them candidly, and draw your own
conclusions

THE LAST YEAR IN THE GEN.
TiTQN

Only twelve months remain in which
to set in order all the things that be-
long to the expiring century, to the end
OF giving it decent dismissal and to
save the coming century from the hand
leap of an unfairly large burden of ar
rearage. There has been rather cur
ious misapprehension In the minds of
many people as to the proper location
of the year upon which we are entering;
and even in print there has been good
deal of allusion to the year now ended
as the closing one of the nineteenth
century. A half minutes clear thinking
is enough to remove all confusion,
With December 81 we complete the year
lS99-that is to say. we round out so of
of the 100 years that are necessary to
complete a full century. We must give
the nineteenth century the 365 days that
belong to its hundredth and final before
we begin the year 1 of the twentieth
century. For some reason the mathe-
NAUTICAL faculty usually works far more
keenly in monetary affairs than else
where; and none of the people who
have proposed to allow ninety nine
years to 60 for century would sup
pose that a nineteen hundred dollar
debt had been fully met by tender OF
81 1893. There would remain due Just
one hundred cents. 1t is to be borne in
mind that the year 1900 is not leap year,
although disvisible by four. Under the
Gregorian calender the year consists
approximately of S65 days, hours, 49
minutes, and u seconds. The accumu-
lated surplus over and above the 365
days amounts, in course of century,
to very nearly 244 days. To indulge in
a leap year every four years would re-
quire enough remnants of time stuff to
make up 20 days for every century. The
arrangement in practical use allows "a
leap years each for three consecutive
centuries, and then gives the fourth
century % such days. Thus, though il
is not likely to concern many of us in
an immediate, practical way, it may be
remarked that the twentieth century
will be one day longer than the nine
teenth, since it is arranged that the
twenty-fifth leap year witch is assigned
to every fourth century shall be brought
into the calender of the year that is
diyisible by 400 The failure to sacrifice
three quadrennial leap years-that is to
say, three extra days in every four cen
turies--has led to the discrepancy be-
what is known as the Julian, or old.
style calender, and the Gregorian.-

government can aid in completing she irrigation development of is own lands with equal suecess? The people of our arid west are rapidly bec1m:ng unit o1 the need and valuI of water storage. The practical invesii igation being made by the United States geological survey and .tGe department Of agriculture, in the way of stream rleasurena nants, res ervoir surveys, sounding for bedrock, dc.. is resulting in a collection of facts regarding t.he condition of the west and it's water supply which will prove inn menssly valuable in formulating plans for the control and diversion of the flood waters.
 What the west needs is a study of irrigation facts. There has been alto getler too much cloud walking in con- necti7n with thc irrigation development of the paa., which largely accounts for the lamenta5le failure of many private irrigation enterprises. There is, howev- CT, no question but that there is an ab- so.utc demand for more irrigation wa ter in ih4 west tan can be supplied without water storage. It is equally true t2at the stream measurements for the last ten years sh- -rv that an i'm mems volUra Of water has ba5n vast ed by the inability to store and intel ligently distribute, during drouth, the flood walkers of these rivers. The frri- gated west has today practically reached the limit Of development with out water storage.
 As q pTaCrioal irriglt0r, farming sev- eral hundred acres, know thai,, fir m a 'bC--nszs standpoint I can afford to pay literally for the certainty Of storage wat-r; and When storage reservoirs are constructed, as they are sure 10 be. the government will find demand for tie stored watsr and it's idle land which will leave no question as To the pracui- cal success of water storage, when in telligently. distributed.
 Ii5 only needs the assurance of watcr, through storage, and tne knowledge that this water will be honestly distrib- Ut and guarded by a code .cf equita- ble fedylal laws, to people our western valleys With tens of thousands, and ul- t.mately milli0nS Of intellgeni, earn est and progressive American citizens, ready and willing to make the desert a garG-n, dotted with prosperous homes.
