The PrussIan Monarchy.
London Daily Graphic, in rs

!
The celebration of anniversaries is
not always a profitable or ever agreea.
BILE occupation, but the jubilee which is
celebrated in Berlin today is assurr div
as profitable an obi .ct lesson 10 the
world as t is an agreeable fate day to
the Prussians. IL is the two hundredth
birthday oi the PruSsian Monarchy
How few Of us realize that the Kingdom
which has TemOdelled the map Of
Europe, and whlch is now dreaming Of
remodellIng the map Of the world, is a
mere youth among nations which began
ats history only in the last year of the
reign OF William III. OF England
the modern epoch IN our history. And
how has It cTowdt d those two hundred
yearsr What stores oi genius and energy
must there be in a people which within
that comparatively short period has
produced a Frederick the Great, a
Stein. a Scharnhorst. a Moltke and
Bismarck, and which from a people Of
a million and half inhabitants, with an
army of $1,000 men, has developed into
the German Empire. and the most
powerful State on the Continent Of
Europe. With this record behind her
Prussia may we'll look forward to the
new century with houudless hopes, and
the world may be warned by the same
record that those hopes will not prove
sterile.

and IL it does not il will be voted
away as easily as it was last Mon
day when the bill was sent to con-
ference in spite Of the desire TO
prevent such action.
There are ugly rumors in eircu-
lation regarding the motives OF
the man or men foremost in hind
ering action -Tumors which the
SENTINEL positively declines to be-
lieve. We hold rather to the view
that the Senate has begun to put
in operation its plan for the per-
manent retention of the internal
revenue to replace the protective
system. Even Mr.. TawneY, of
Minnesota, who is so outspoken
Tor his constitutional privileges,
had announced his intention to de-
feat the Senate bill before it was
known to have uSurped House
PRIVILEGES, because. as he asserted,
oil this permanent internal revenue
feature. To this the House OBJ
jects, and hence the deadlock.
Whatever may be said of the
present as the proper time to in
augurate a change in our fiscal
policy, no conservative Uan will
defend an attempt to introduce it
through the medium of the War
Reduction bill. Nor do we be-
lIeve it will be done. We look for
a peaceful aud satisfactory solu-
ton of the difficulty, out OF which
will come no loss to brewers.
Congress needs immense sums
to meet the large appropriations
now being made. Apart from the
daily press (for financial reas-
ons, probably we know OF no
widespread clamor that the brew.
ers shall be compelled to meet
the expenditures, nor do we think
they will be. After the Senate has
been given 70 understand that the
House will permit no encroaching
upon its domain. the Conference
Committee will make its report,
and the friction will cease.
Should this not occur, the COM
bined Democratic and Pavne Re.
publican votethat ruled the House
last Monday is there yet, ready to
overturn any obstructive tactics
that may be adopted to retard
necessary and, we may almost say,
Indispensable business.

Senator Oh aRuIer's Reform BnI.
Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, is the author Of a bill
ito prohibit corporations from
making money contributions in
connection with political elec.
tons" This measure has been re-
ported favorablY by the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. II provides that "it shall
be unlawful Tor any national bank
or anv corporation engaged in in
terstate or foreign commerce, or
any corporation organized bv au.
tn ority Of any laws OF Congress, to
make a money contribution in
connection with any election to
any political Office" The corpor-
alton violating the law is liable to
6ne ofSs 900, while "every stock
holder, officer, director or emplove
oil any corporation who shall con-
sent to any contribution by the
corporation in violation of the fore
going provisions shall be subject
to fine OF not exceeding 81, 900.
Senator Chandler has been a Re-
publican all his life, but his devo-
ton to the party did not count in
hiss favor " hen the corporations in
New Ham shire decided to retire
him to private Life. His bill is a
good one, but it is to be feared it
will not receive the support of the
majority in Congress. Without
money contribution" from the
corporations the Grand Old
Party" would soon find itself in
sad plight. The trusts would no
longer dictate legislation; the tariff
would be amended so as TO protect
the interests OF tke people; indeed,
there would be revolution in
legislation and IN the methods OF
administering the Government.
Such a law honestly enforced
would drive Republican party out
OF business or accomplish it's COM
plete reformation. 1t is to be
hoped that Senator Chambers bill
may receive favorable considera-
tion, but il is hardly probable that
his party is yet prepared to sign
its death warrant.

SUFFERS COUP.

JNSN plCNIOuS 10 tnG ndH sdS OlAY
Convention, last spring, a news
paper man oi this city, who was
old enough to have known better
and whose connection with the
collection OF funds for the Beer
Delegates reception and their dis
tributioD gave him opportunity to
obtain information sufficient to
have prevented him from making
a charge of such nature against
anybody connected with the affair,
sent out from Washington a syn
dicate newspaper letter alleging
that OF the SI.I7o collected for the
widows and orphans oi Boer sol
diers, all but sIS had been spent
in wining and dining the Transvaal
Delegates, the Reception Commit
tee and their friends.
This story was at once branded
as malicious falsehoOd by Mr..
Sulzer, chairman of the reception
committee, Mr.. Rupert, chairman
Of the finance committee, and
Captain O'Farrell, treasurer OF the
fund. whose accounts, after care
full and minute Investigation, were
found to be correct and free from
the extravagances falsely ascrIbed
to Mr.. Suffers management. So
far from a depleter OF the fund, Mr..
Sulzer was found to be its heaviest
contributor, VINO besides assumed
and paid bills out Of his own pock
cts that properly should have been
betrayed from the funds treasury.
This, it was hoped, had ended the
matter.
Mr.. Sulzer attacked the Admin
istration in The House, last Mon
day. for its subserviencv to Eng
land. He declared the United
States was violating the neutrality
laws OF nations by permitting the
English to buy munitions of war
here tor use IN South Africa
against the Beers. He believed
it was the duty OF the President
and OF Congress to stop the pur-
chase Of supplies here.
His structures on the Admins
tration were not relished bv Re-
publ cans, nor were they intended
to be. It was not expected, how
ever, chat one OF that side would
tempt fate as recklessly as turned
out to be the case in its defense.
1t was hoped that the wide circu-
lation given to the reiutation of
the charges above referred to dur
ing the recent campaign had put
a quietLs upon them that would
ehectuallY dampen the ardor for
their future resurrection Vain

Some men are as irresistibly at
tracted towards a buzz saw as a fly
to molasses. And Mr.. Mahon, OF
Pennsylvania. is one OF those men.
He ought to have known better.
Only lew weeks ago, he admitted
himself. he had bucked against an
Agricultural Department. report
and barely escaped defeat. With
so little weight that gust OF wind
had almost DO Wled him over, Mr..
Mahon should have lett to others
the dangerous task Of challenging
Mr.. Suffers connection with the
Boer reception and revamping the
old charge OF wasting widows anal
orphans funds to wine and dine
strong men.
Mr.. Mahon's anxiety to help the
Administration oVercame his pru-
dence. and he interrupted Mr..
Sulzer to renew the slander, hoping
thereby to deaden the effect o. the
New Workers. arraignment OF this
Governments despicable policy
towards the South African Repub-
lies.

An ordinary business man calculates
the advantages OF a contract according
to the terms OF the contract itself. Eng
land. France and Germany require Of
ship companies drawing governmental
subsidy contracts setting forth in detail
the services which the ships are TO per-
form under the contract. The pending
subsidy bill in congress provides for
contract. The only thing In the CON
tract that the ship companies agree TO
do Is to build ships equal to the ton
mage drawing subsidy in American
yards. An examination win show that
these ships can be paid for exclusively
out OF the subsidy. The contract does
not provide that these ships shall ever
be run unless additional subsidy is de-
sired upon the ships. They can be sold
at once TO either Americans or foreign
ers. They do not contract for any
amount of speed or any number OF
trips; they do not contract for any re-
duction OF freight rates; they do not
contract for any services as auxiliary
cruisers; the only thing that they con-
tract to do is to use a part OF the sub
sidy money In building ships for them
selves. Let any business man place

ment concerning this matter, and what

North Wisconsin Advantages.

The following extract was taken
from the Milwaukee Journal, and al
though of no great benefit to the peo-
pie living in this section, it may be OF
great interest to good many people
not acquainted with the soil in this
Northern Wisconsin. and therefore
we reproduce it;
s.The Eau Claire Leader calls atten-
ton to one. great advantage of north
ern Wisconsin, as an agricultural re-
gion, which we have not seen. en-
phasized before. It is the fact that
drouths are never known there.
While crops are failing in large areas
in the west, the richest agricultural
sections of the country, the farmer OF
our New North has nothing to fear.
His crops never fail. One or another
product may fall short of full yield,
but a general failure is impossible.
he does not depend on one crop alone
as corn, or wheat. He can and does
raise great variety and is sure OF
his annual reward. He knows no fat
and lean years. His grazing is sure
and his stock never has to be sold tc
save it from starvation. His acre
yield may not be as large as that, Of
the, west, but it is steady and sure.
He can depend on it. Go north, young
man, and cultivate the earth"

\ An EaSy Mark

Last Sunday Herman Korth was
asked by VIM. Fl. Murphy.a painter
who has been identifying D. E.
Rior9an's house, to cash check for
him amounting to $56.95, which. he
said Mr.. Riordan had given him for
his services for painting his house.
Kind hearted Mr.. Korth, believing a
check issued by Mr.. Riordan to be as
God as gold, gave Murphy all the
ready cash he had on hand, amounts
ing to some thirty odd dollars, the
balance to be given him when the
bank opened Monday morning. But
Murphy didn't wait until the bank
opened, for he hired team at Rad
cliffs livery stable to take him over to
Minocqua Sunday afternoon, from
which place he flew for parts un-
known, probably Chicago, from where
he came. When Mr.. Korth visited
Banker Mckenzie he discovered that
owned forged check.
A warrant was quickly sworn out
before Justice Moon for Murphy's ar
rest and sheriff Elliott who left to
find the maa who by eunningness got
away with anothers cash., returned
home I Wednesday, without finding
any trace of his man.
MoRAL-Never cash checks before
you are sure they are genuine.
