Arbor Day.

We are in receipt of a beautiful
pamphlet, edited by State Superintend-
ent L. D. Harvey. 1t is the Arbor and
Bird Day annual. 1t contains the pro-
c1amation by the Governor making
Friday May 4th a day for tree planting
aud special bird study in the schools
throughout the state of Wisconsin. It
contains also an address to the teachers
urging that the attention of the pupils
and parents be called to the interesting
lessons of the day, and thus awaken an
Interest in the cleaning and beautify-
ing of school grounds and.Cdevelop
respect for bird life. Excellent selec-
lions from the poets are also inserted,
and instructive articles given in regard
to the variety of trees and the differ
ent feathered tribes. Mr.. Harvey will
please accept our acknowledgements
and thanks. Perhaps this editor may
be allowed to suggest that not only in
the school on May 4th, but frequently
in the home and at the table, "Trees
and Birds might be a delightful topic
for conversation.

Exports in March,

In the month of March 1899, the
value of American exports was in ex-
cess of S1O4,O0O, 900. But the value of
American exports in March 1900, was
more than S134,OOO,OOO. The exporta-
lions of March, 1900, are twenty-five
per cent. larger than in March last
year. March 1900 carries the victor's
broom. Thus this great country is
marching on. Yet the discontents are
kicking and banker for a return to a
regime of retrenchment and dimin-
ishment under some other than
Republican rule. But some fellows
kick naturally as frogs croak. Some
of us have indistinct recol1ections
of a Democratic war on the tin plate
industries of the country, and Of forced
marches against other prosperous
schemes inaugurated and executed by
Republican wisdom and foresight.

MAY MAKE. TUBING,
Chicago Brass Works Contemplating
the Addition of a New Line to
Their Business.
STILL IN EXPERIMENTAL STAGE

For Some Time the Company Have Been
Planning for the Manufacture of Brass
Tubing and it is Claimed That the
Scheme Will be Carried Outfit it is the
Business of the Company will be Largely
Increased and More Men Employed.
It is reported this morning that the
Chicago Brass Works are arranging to
make large additions to their lines of
business and that in the near future
the plant will enter the industrial field
as a manufa cturer of brass tubing. AS
soon as the report gained general Cir
cu1ation a representative of this paper
called on Mr.. Ellsworth and made in
quiries in regard to the story. Mr..
Ellsworth stated that he had no idea
how the story became public property,
but stated that the company had been
considering taking up the manufacture
ing OF tubing, but they had not as yet
decided absolutely to enter this line of
manufacturing business. He said that
as yet the whole thing was in the ex-
detrimental state and intimated that if
the experiments proved successful the
company would take up the work in
earnest.
In regard to the changes in the fac
tory, if the plan is adopted, Mr.. Tits
worth refused to talk at the present
time, but stated that as soon as the
plan had been agreed upon the people
of the city would know of it. People
4krit
the policy of the Brass mills for some
time state that the manufacture of
tubing was one of the long cherished
plans of Frank Avery, who was mana
ger of the plant until his death a short
time ago. That the company are plan
ming to carry out his wishes there can
be no doubt, and the only question is
as to the extent the Kenosha company
will enter this new field.
The story circulated on the streets
was to the effect that should the COM
pany go into this line the buildings
will be enlarged and large additions
will be made to the plant and to the
number of men employed.
The p1antis now distinctively Ke-
nosha plant. The offices of the COM
pany, which were formerly in Chicago,
have been removed to this city and all
business of the plant is now being
done from Kenosha. The announce
1aent that they will branch out into
larger sphere of action will be received
with great JOY by the workingmen of
the city, as the Brass works is a great
favorite with the men as well as with
the entire people of the city.

Money Circulation.

The amount of money in circulation
for each Individual in the United
States in 1896 was Twenty-one dollars
and Fifty-three cents; today it is
TwentY-six dollars and twelve cents.
Four years ago the circulation was
less by twenty per cent. than at the
present time. Two billion dollars at
this moment floating out among the
American people, and this is four hum
dred and ninety-two million more than
in 1896. Behind every copper penny,
every silver dime and dollar, and
every United States note is an eye of
shining gold. The gold circulation
has also increased largely in four
years. In 1896 it was $489, 100000. In
1900 it is S785, 100000. Silver has not
been thrown out by any means; silver
pieces and silver certificates are more
numerous than four years ago by a
considerable, let your own pencil
strike the difference, but the value of
silver coin and certificates in cirCu1a-
ton in 1896 was $685., 100000; while in
1900 it is S631, 900, 600. This under Re
publican rule.

Recruits for Kruger.

The papers state that Major Ames,
an officer in the regular army OF the
United States, confesses that he has
sent %, 600 men to the Transvaal to
join Kruger and his combatants. Most
of these recruits were enlisted IN this
country, though a considerable force
was found in Canada, and fully 700
came from Germany. Of course all
this dirty work had to be done in
directly and privately" Ostenslbly
twenty-three thousand men are en-
gagged as miners, as ambulance men,
and as nurses. Any vocation declared
to be legal and not likely to attract
attention is assumed for the time be-
ing, but with deceit in their hearts and
lies on their lips they go to South
Africa to tear the red cross symbol
from their sleeves as soon as they cross
the Transvaa1 border, and to take up
arms against Ia nation regarded as
friendly in America. It dishonors the
good name of the United States, not
because men enlist on the side OF
Kruger, for the individual has
right to do this if he wishes to, but
because hypocritica1ly done, and done
under the disguise of being helpful to
the sick, wounded and dying. How
ever sincere may be the sympathy OF
this country for the brave Beers, who
are fighting for national independence
as they understand it, the undetermined
work of Ames and his constituency
will be condemned not only by sensible
citizens of this republic, but by the
world.

HIS ALDERMANIC DIGNITY.
Newly Elected Official Has New and
Novel Way of Blufing Bill Collectors.

There is a good story going the
rounds in regard to one of the newly
elected aldermen, which seems to show
that this man considers the elevation
which he has received from the hands
of the people as an easy way to go
through bankruptcy. Before the man
was a1derman-and perhaps after-he
was accustomed to visit saloons pretty
freely and in one of these saloons he
had quite little written on the slate
which the bar-keeper has for his pri-
vate friends. AS soon as he had been
elected the saloon man took occasion
to send him bill for the amount. This
ri1ed the a1dermanic dignity and he at
once gave the saloon keeper piece of
his mind. He seemed to think that the
saloon man had committed an unpar-
donab1e sin in suggesting that he, an
alderman, should pay his honest debts.
The alderman a. once informed the
man that he could rest assured that
his saloon would not receive any favors
a long as said alderman was in the
chair. Of course the saloon man,
hearing such dire threats, retired from
the field, but it is stated that he will
take the matter before the mayor.

Republican Prosperity.

What is the reason that under Presi-
dent Harrison, in two years, from an.
1st, 1891, to Jan. 1st, 1898, the value of
all live stock on American farms was
increased by the considera bic sum of
154,OOO,OOO? What is the reason that
during the four years of Grover C1eve-
lands last term the farmers lost
$3.50, 100000 through the diminished
market value of their live stock? And
again, what is the reason that under
President Mckinley the farmers were
again benefited, the total gain in the
value of all farm animals during the
last three years being S557,OOO, 900?
We cannot forget that the losing years
were during a Democratic administra-
ton, and the enhancing years during
Republican administrations. 1t was
not the men, Cleveland is doubtless as
wise and great man as either Har-
rison or Mckinley. It is the political
foundations and principles on which
these great men stand. The eyes OF
the nation are open to the fact that the
watchword Of the Republican party is
progress" that Of our Democratic
brethren is conservatism" Mr.. Coin
will have time to write many other
books ere the wide awake American
people will be ready to strike the key
stone from the Republican arch.

The Silvary Speech.

The Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
the Chrysostom of Democracy and
Popu1ism, started out to make a
speech on free silver ten thousand
miles long, but he has cut it short and
is now preaching on the masterfu1ness
of money in the acknowledgements of
man. This is to be the general theme
until July, then the Nebraska orator
will swing off into new argument.
Perhaps he will send out a menagerie
of sore headed calamity howlers to
hector and harass the goddess of ma
tiona1 prosperity as she passes along
the margin of the last four years.

The House Divided.

Democracy at the present time is not
a unit, by any means. Part of it is
democratic of the Jeffersonian type,
and part popu1istic; certain members
of the party are imperia1ists and others
anti-inperia1ists; some are for expan-
sion and some are opposed to it; some
of the party are men of silver and
some are men of gold. ga house di-
vided against itself cannot stand"
The mass of mercury will fall to the
floor tomorrow and be broken into
pieces a score, and scattered not to be
easily regathered. 1t will be the story
of ''Humpty Dumpty" over again.

Kenosha Life Saving Grew Make Splendid
Showing at the Opening of the Season.
The members of the Kenosha Life
Saving Grew, under the command of
Capt. B. G.. Cameron, Thursday and
Friday entertained Lieut.. Renholt, of
the United States Navy, now stationed
at Chicago and IN charge of the work
of looking after the life savers on
Lake Michigan. During the visit of
the lieutenant to this city the crew
were given their first inspection for
the year 1900. The visit of the lieu
tenant was entirely unexpected and
the members of the crew had no time
to prepare for the examination, but
they made a very creditable showing
and were warmly praised by the in
spector. The large boat was launched
and capsized, much to the delight of
the new inspector. He stated that the
Kenosha crew had the reputation Of
being one of the best crews on the
West shore. During his stay in Keno
sha Lieut.. Renho1t made close exam
nation of the present quarters of the
crew and it is not improbable that he
will suggest that the government make
number of changes to increase the
comfort of the crew and the efficiency
of the service in Kenosha.
The crew this year is the same as it
was last year and every member has
had large experience in the work OF
life saving While the season has
been opened only short time the
crew are already down to routine

Good News for Our Readers

Who have scrofula taints in their
blood, and who has notP Scrofula in
all its forms is cured by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla which thoroughly purifes the
blood. This disease, which frequently
appears in children, is greatly to be
dreaded. 1t is most likely to affect the
glands OF neck, which become enlarged,
eruptions appear on the head and face
and the eyes are frequently affected.
Upon its first appearance, perhaps in
slight eruptions or pimples, scroiula
should be entirely eradicated from the
system by thorough course Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla to prevent all the painful
and sickening consequences drumming
scrofula sores which drain the system,
sap the strength and make existence
utterly wretched.
