The question is asked, When will
England reach the zenith of her great
ness, There are some reasons for
thinking that she has already reached
it, and they have no reference to her
success or failure in the Boer war.
First, the English have ceased to be an
agricultural people, and they must de-
pend, even in war, upon food imported
from over the sea. Second, as a manu-
featuring nation they have already be-
gun to decay, as witness their final
loss of the premiership in iron and steel
production. 1t is morally certain that
England will be left far behind in the
industrial struggle of the twentieth
century by the United States simply
because the United States possess the
greater natural resources, while in
natural capacity the Americans are
fully the equals of the English. Third.
if England loses ground in agricultural
and manufacturing and trace it will
be inherently impossible for her to
maintain first rank as a political pow
er, because in her recurring wars her
accumulated wealth will be gradually
swallowed up. That she must engage
in such wars seems clear because Of
the intense jealousy of her great rivals,
and because her limited Imperialism
brings her in endless antagonism TO
those rivals in various parts of the
earth.

The commonest principles of justice
and humanity must be lacking in the
brain of man who can sit in judges
chair and say solemnly to a jury: IF
a railroad company kills child its par
ents should be satisfied with 81 dam
ages. Children are source of eX-
pense to their parents and are of no
pecuniary benefit" Yet this is the ex-
pressed opinion of a Supreme Court
justice in New Jersey. Only 81 for the
life of every child killed under the
wheels of a train or trolley car. The
market value of an ordinary dog is
five times as much. A pig is worth
more. Scarcely less foolish than this
opinion is that delivered by a justice
of the Superior Court of Connecticut.
He says: provided the railroad com
pany killed the man painlessly. so Is
sufficient damages for his relatives.
The relatives must prove that the dead
man suffered pain to get more. The
fact that the body is mutilated does
not prove it," Here is another gem of
Jurisprudence. A man put to death
painlessly is worth $40. A man who
suffers some pain is probably worth
$780, On the other hand, and in ac-
cordance with the same rule. man
who is run over by a trolley car and
dies shouting hallelujah and joyous
praises for the company would have
to pay for the privilege.

Mainly About People has collected the
following curious slips of the tongue:
A fashionable congregation was once
startled by hearing the reverend gen
ueman announce that they were about
to sing Hymn No. 35S-From Icelands
Greasy Mountains" After this they
listened with equanimity when they
were reminded that they should not
covet their neighbours house, nor his
'oss, nor his axe" Preaching before
varsity congregation on the Queens
diamond jubilee, he remarked, impress
slvely: Now, my brethren, you have
a queer dean, a very queer dean, a
very queer dean indeed" AS it was
widely known that he had recently
serious difference with the dean of his
college, the slip was intensely enjoyed.
The same reverend gentleman once
assured his hearers that they all knew
what 1t was to have "a half-warmed
fish" within them. "a half-formed
wish" he meant. On another occasion
he referred to Bon the BAPTIST" Feel
Ing dimly that there was something

Another dear old college gentleman
had occasion to reprlmand an under
graduate who had wasted two consecu-
tive terms in youthful folies. After
lecturing the delinquent severely in his
queerly high-pitched voice, the dean
finished by saying: 81 am sorry to
have to speak so severely to you, but

broken many rules of the college; you

Rayfield & western Bonds

What has become of the case
against Bayfield, county to compel
the turning over Of the railroad
bonds Of the Bayfield, and Western.
The county board who
were being sued, don t know. No
one else does, and the matter ap-
pears to be resting quietly, easily
and comfortably. Perhaps the dis
trict attorney and his co-counsel
know, but if they do they never
have made their information public.
There appears to be more or less Of
a feeling that when the time comes
that it can be done that in some
undetermined manner Sabin and bis
gang of blood suckers will be very
quietly given the bonds. THE TIlEs
does not choose to believe that this
will be the case, but prefers to
await the outcome of the mltter.
However it may be true as charged
that there is good deal OF p'ocras-
tination in the District Attorneys
office over the matter.

WASHBURN THE CHAMPIONS.
Wins Two out of the Three in Series With
the Interstate Team.

the Interstate Team.
Washburn's team of invincible
base ball players went to the head of
the lakes via the steamer Hunter
Friday night, and came back Tues
day bringing with them the North
west championship. On Saturday
and Sunday they played at Daluth
with the interstate team, and on
Labor Day the same teams played at
West Superior. The game Satur
day was warm one, Washburn
winning by q score Of four to two.
Wigg4, the tai pine of ashburn,
sent an ice burg chill down the spin
al column of the Superiorites and
struck out twelve men. Washburn
played good ball. and demonstrated
to the head Of the lake people that
they could not win, even with an
umpire whose decisions were rank
in their favor.
On Sunday Thiery was in the box
and did good slab work up to the
seventh inning, at which time the
score was three to one in favor of
Washburn. La, the seventh the
lake boys pounded Thiery and helped
on with two errors scored three or
four scores. The game finally
finished with score of s to 5 in
favor of the inter-s states.
On Monday the game was at West
Superior. The Leader gives the
following account of the game:
One James Wigs, the human re-
production OF Jacks famous bean
stalk drank long, deep draughts of
sweet revenge yesterday.
He not only pitched wonderful
ball for Washburn, but he also
smashed the spheriod in the pro-
basis for most timely two-b base hit.
As a result of that crashing double
to right, three blue-leeged visitors
scampered across the plate, and
Washburn was never headed there
after. The score was five to two in
favor of the other fellows. Z
Cox pitched splendidly, also, and
but for that one tremendous wallop
of James, the elongated, who
wasn't good enough for Superior,
the honors would have been even.

His GOODNESS and engenuity pointed

If those people who are kicking
the loudest about the action of the

ence to Labor day would stop to
consider that the bayfield, team was
trying to freeze the Washburn team
out of game, they would have to
admit that our ball management
was entirely justified in going to

here, and there appeared to be

leave Washburn in the cold for its

not appreciate the efforts of two or
