We learned that Mr.. Munson will be
a candidate for denomination this fall
Surely She republicans of the Twenty
Eighth senatorial district owe it to
themselves to give him the place again.
He has conscientioGsly represented the
interests of the people of this district and
of the STATE, and we believe if there is a
senator in Wisconsin who is entitled to
a denomination at his district convention,
his name is Oliver G.. Munson. He has
not failed to vote for the interests of the
people as agains5 the corporations where
the two interests have conflicted. Ii the
republicans of this district care anything
for their own interests they will see to
il that Senator A1unson is placed in
nomination for return trip to the Wis
consin state senate, where he may com
plete the work which he has only fairly
begun.

OVATION 70 KRUGER.
The Former President OF the TraasvaaE
Republic enthusiastically Welcomed
at Marseines-

Marseilles, Nov. 23.=Paul Kruger.
former president of the South African
republic, landed here at 10:45 a. M
Mr.. Kruger can not but be elated at.
the warmth of his reception by the
people of Marseilles. He may be said
to have been borne on an irresistible
wave of enthusiasm from the landing
stage to his hotel. The broad streets
and boulevards through which the
route lay presented a perfect sea OF
human beings, all gathered there
prompted by the unanimous desire to
welcome the aged BOer statesman
From the moment the white, twelve
Dared barge left the side of the Eel
derland, with Mr.. Kruger, who ap-
peared to be in good health, sitting in
her stern, surrounded by the Boer
representatives, including DR.. Leyds
and Messrs. Fischer and Vessels, q
storm of cheering broke and never
ceased until Mr.. Kruger entered his
hotel. Even then a vast concourse
of people remained in front of the
building until Mr.. Kruger appeared
on the balcony, where he had to re-
main for some time, uncovered, ac-
knowledging the acclamations of his
thousands of admirers, who con-
tinued cheering until they were
hoarse with shouting.
Replying to the addresses of well
come of the presidents of the Paris
and Marseilles committee, Mr.. Kru-
ger spoke in Dutch and in low voice,
accompanying his words with ener-
getic movements of his hat, which he
held in his right hand. After thank
ing the committee for the warmth OF
the reception accorded him, and ex-
pressing gratitude for the sympathy
he had received from the French gov
eminent, he spoke of the war as ter
rible and barbariously conducted by
the British. He said: ''I have fought
with savages, but the present war is
even worse. We will never surren-
der. We are determined to fight to
the last extremity, and if the repub-
lies of the Transvaal and Orange Free
State lose their independence, it will
be because they have lost every man,
woman and child"
This declaration which Mr.. Kruger
made dispelled at once any impress
sion that he intends to accept any
compromise from the British govern
ment. His announcement was greeted
with a roar of cheers and cries of
''Vive Kruger" ''vive les Boers,' give
la Hberte.''

when appeal should be made to con-
gress to enact appropriate legisla-
ton for the establishment of a we'll
founded system"

REPORT ON ALASKA.
Gov. Brady Urges Extension of the Gem
eral Land Laws to the Territory
Condition of Natives.

Washington, Nov. 24-The annual
report of Gov. John G. Brady, of
Alaska, to the secretary of the inte-
rior urges congressional legislation on
the extension of the general land laws
to Alaska, giving the natives the same
legal status as the whites and the
representation of Alaska by a dele
gate to congress. The report says
that at Cape Nome Everything and
everybody is peu nell; there are sew
eral claimants for each town lot, beach
claim and creek claim, fully $4,000
people waiting for the action of the
court there"
After referring to the outbreak of
the grip, accompanied with pneu-
mOnia and measles, that occurred
among the native Eskimo this year,
the governor says they were threat
ened with utter determination last
summer. He adds: ga deathIy plague
and a wild stampede of hungry and
avaricious whites poured in on their
precincts and turned loose upon them
by shiplOad after shiplOad, bringing
with them the arts and accomplish
ments of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is
hoped that through the missionaries
and change from hunting to
pastoral life a remnant of a noble
people may be saved. The withhold
ing of the land laws is the real diff
Guilty in the way of getting a terrific
rial government for Alaska. If con-
gress would treat Alaska as it has
other parts of the western frontier in
regard to land titles this will bring
within few years a population there
ready to assume the burden of an ex-
pensive government, where now an en-
tire population, who are simply squat
ters, with a few exceptions, are not
able to do So

Constantinople, Nov. 24.-The porte
