these ducks were pure white birds
that have not been seen in this

deficiency promptly supplied by the
genial host. Mrs. Jeuck evidently
had some ihtimation Of what was
coming, but to the Major it was
wholly unexpected. When he re-
sponded to the alarm at his front
door, and beheld the procession ex-
tending to the street, was the first
suggestion to him that anything un-
usual was on hand for the evening.
He readily grasped the situation,
however, and ably supported Mrs.

exhibitions in impromptu costume,
and genial sociality, left no dull
spots in the evening, and all de-
parted confident that they had
struck the very best place in town

New School Building.

The Democrat Of last week prints
a very good picture of the proposed
new school building for this city.
and gives us very well written ar
ticle favoring the erection OF such "A
building. The fact that our neigh
Dor is able TO present such cut I'M
plies that plans have been perfected
for the structure, and considerable
progress made in arrangements FOR
its erection. From the picture we
should say it is to be very fine
building, an ornament to the city
and a desirable addition to our
school accomodations. People are
inquiring where the building Is to be
located how much it is to cost etc.
AS yet these questions cannot be
answered. The common council
must first take some action in the
matter, and il vote of the people Is
necessary formula proposition will
doubtless be submitted for consider
alton. When such proposition Is
is promulgated it will perhaps an
swer the questions as to cost, loca-
tion, etc, and discussion Of the ques-
ton will be in order.
Later - The common council on
Tuesday evening voted down the
proposition for bonding the city for
money to build the proposed school
house, and so the question.is laid to
rest again for a while. 1t is supposed
that the improbability of being able
to obtain suitable site and erect the
building for the sum named influ-
euced the councils action.

But Did "somsbody Blunder 2"


That it may be seen how dangerous
1t Is to intimate doubt of the infal-
llbllity of those in charge of city af-
fairs, the following letter is given
place:
MINERAL POINT. Wis. Oct /. 1900
W H. BENNETT, Dear Sir:-Your article in
reference to the fire department building in
last weeks issue of the Tribune is, to say the
least. as unjust as untrue. You state that the
walls were nearly all up and had to be torn
down ON account of some ones bunder 1t
would have been nearer the truth had you said
that the front walls had been started and the
black coloring matter used in making the NOR
tar was found to contain oil enough to run
through the brick staining them so badly as
to ruin them. As the walls were up about two
feet only. with the exception of the corners, we
thought it much mo-, sensible to take down
the little that had been done and have it re-
built properly.
As to the high board fence you dislike SO
much it was built to defend our bank account
and not TO conceal errors We found it impos-
sible to keep the men at work on account of
the row of wise criticsQO who insisted on tel
ling the men how to do this that and the other
As Mr. j. j. Penhalegon and myself are in
active charge of the work. think You owe Ms
an apology, as your article is direct reflection
on us. We are both putting in a good deal of
time and work for which we get nothing-ex-
cept censure. FRANK c. LuppxN
Now what did the Tribune say that,
was untrue or unjust? To show ex-
actly, the article complained of is
reprinted in full, as follows:
"Sombody blundered" so that the pressed
brick front wall of the fire company's binding
which had been laid up nearly to the top had
10 be taken down. Now the front of the struc-
ture is closely boarded in, presumably that any
other blunders may not be open to public view
Possibly this conveyed an idea that
there was more of the wall up than
Mr.. Ludden states, but that it was up
so far as to have the stone window
sills set (and they were set higher
than they are now) is fact, and that
the corners We're higher Mr.. Ludden
admits. The slight difference as to
amount of work that had to be taken
down does not warrant an accusation
cf falsehood, no more than when Mr.
Luddea says: "you state that the
walls were nearly all up" he pur-
posely misquo;ed what the Tribune
had said. He merely failed to notice
that the front wall had been men,
toned specifically and no other at
all. If it was an injustice to mention
the matter, then the people may not
justly comment on anything in the
of public affairs except
to praise. The reason given by Mr.
Ludden for taking down the wall is
good, but it does not gainsay that
somebody blunderrd" in putting it
up. His statement of why the high
board fence was built accords with
the suggestion of the Tribune-'twas|
to exclude critics. We did not know
who was in charge of the work, or
whether they were under pay or not
that, however, has no bearing on the
facts, nor does it follow that an apol-
ogy is due for having briefly noticed
an admitted error in the execution of
a public work. W. II. B.

is strong language, bat no stronger than

Another thing which. as the New York

NOT A PARTY QUESTION.
Mr.. Hanna's Views on the Present Aspect
Of the Chinese Problem.

Special TO The Washington Post
Cleveland, Ohio, July Ex-senator VI. A.
Hanna was summoned to Canton by Pres
ident Mckinley to-day, and had planned
to leave this afternoon, but changed the
programme by reason of the Presidents
sudden call TO Washington, because Of the
serious developments in the Chinese situa-
ton.
Mr.. Hanna was going to see the Presi-
dent for consultation on the Chinese ques-
ton. The Senator is disposed to view the
situation as one of the most extreme
danger to the country. He said to-day,
however, that personally he did not be-
lieve there was occasion for an extra gas
sion of Congress. 1.-The President" says
the Senator, 'has full power to meet all
conditions as they may arise. He has a
full treasury, and is empowered to call on
the troops he may require to meet such
emergencies as may arise. There seems
now to be no reason why Congress should
be called together. Subsequent develop
ments, however, may make such action
necessary"
Mr.. Hanna was asked what effect the
recent Chinese developments would have
on the chances of the Republican party
this fall, whether the public was In accord
with the President in his policy. THE
public" replied the Senator. 'fs in full &C.
cord with the President thus far in mis-
handling of the Chinese question. There
has been no division of sentiment on the
question, as far as parties are concerned.
The question is one of the utmost impOr-
lance, ard has thus far been met in q
mastery manner"
Urged to discuss the issues of the cam
paign, Senator Hanna said: THE issues
of the campaign are the work of the ad-
ministration, the prosperity of the coun-
try, and the ability of the President and
his advisers TO solve the great problems
as they have been presented. The Demo-
Gratis viii present any issue which they
think will have any effect in the matter Of
securing votes. Their campaign Of four
years ago on the issue of class against
class may be repeated this fall. but I
should think they had had enough of that
disastrous form of campaigning. 1t is I'M
possible for me to outline in any degree
the line Of action which the Republican
party will follow in the coming fight We
will meet the issues as they arise"
Mr.. Hanna said that the President
would make no speeches before he wrote
his letter of acceptance, but that he might
do so after that message had been sent
out.

An Erroneous Assumption.

The Detroit Free Press, one OF the old
time Democratic newspapers that refuse
10 support the candidates and platform Of
the regular Democrats and their allied
forces, takes occasion in a recent issue
10 assure the Organizes" that they are
caught in their own trap" That trap
is :he free silver plank in their platform.
The Free Press, careful OF its own record
for consistency, as well as for its reputa-
ton as a forecaster. reminds the leaders
OF the combine that It was insistent In
warning them that the adoption Of such
a plank would be fatal TO the chances
they might otherwise have in this years
canvass. 1t says that common sense
foresaw the Inevitable, but neither COM
mon sense nor the majority could gain
control Of the Kansas City Convention"
The mistake Of the Free Press. and of
the Gold Democratic papers generally,
was the assumption that The Kansas City
Convention had full control OF the situa-
ton.
MIR. Bryan's nomination had been as
sured by the instruction Of more than
two-thirds OF the delegates. His candidacy
was by no means the exclusive property
OF the Democratic contingent Of the tri-
partlte combine. Instruction for him I'm
piled IndorseU Mt Of free coinage and
such other concessions 10 the Populists
and Silver Republicans. not exceeding
those Of 1896 as would insure q cont!nu-
anCe OF the alliance Mr.. Bryan practicad
no deception. His intimate relations with
The Populists were we'll understood long
before the delegates were chosen and
most OF them instructed. Il was known
that the Populist governor OF Nebraska
acted on his advice in turning down a
Democrat and appointing a Popullst TO the
United States Senate. Before the Kansas
City Convention assembled the Popu!ists
had nominated Mr.. Bryan on a platform
70 which he offered no objections. They
called for fat money. but. as In 1856. they
were ready TO compromise on fitty-cent
dollars. thus making a sacrifice OF one
| half OF their convictions. Il was not oaly
the nominee Of the POpuiists 10 whom the
Kansas City nomination had been decreed
In advance, but Il was well known that
he Was tie choice Of the Silver Repub-
lean.
