Much Important Business Transacted
at the Meeting of the Council
Last Evening.
MEISELBACH ASKS FOR A REBATE.
City Council Decides to take Part in the
Fight for Opening School Grounds
Communicates With the Board.

The common council met in regular
session at the city hall on Monday
evening and considerable business was
transacted. The first business of in
terest to come up was a petition from
the Meise1bach company asking the
council to rebate the taxes on the
plant for the present year. In tine pc
tition Mr.. Meise1back stated that the
plant had been idle for many months
and that large amount of money had
been expended in making improve
ments and in adding to the equipment
of the plant. He stated further that
the plant would be opened in the near
future and worked to it's fullest ca
pacity, thus furnishing employment to
a large lumber of men in Kenosha.
In consideration of the fact that the
council had fostered industries in the
past Mr. Meiselbach asked that his
plant be favored. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on taxes and
they will make report on the matter
at the meeting of the couHci1 next
Monday evening. The sentiment
favor of the granting of the rebate.
A largely signed petition was pre-
scented asking that Ashland avenue be
continued through the bark piles of
the tannery as far as Caledonia street.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on streets, alleys and bridges.
A letter was read from John D. Nc
Leod, general manager of the Wis
consin Telephone company, stating
that the grievances of the people of
Kenosha and the request for free tele-
phones had been presented to the
board Of managers of the company and
that they would meet early in March
and take some action on the matter.
The superint endent assured the coun-
Gil that the company would make some
concessions to the city but did not
enumerate any of them.
At this point in the meeting the city
council dedicated to take a part in the
fight that is being made for the open
ing of the school grounds for the use
of the pupils and Alderman Pirsch
presented a resolution endorsing the
proposed amendment to the rules of
the schools as offered by Commission
er Hack1ey. The resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote and the
city clerk was instructed to send a
copy of the resolution to the members
of the board of education.
The city began the work of paying
harbor claims Monday evening when
the bill of the Starke Dredge and
Dock company, amounting to $5O2.2O,
was ordered paid.
The claims committee were not
ready to report on the many claims re-
ferred to it and further time was
granted.
Aid. Pfennig presented a resolution
asking that no registration of voters
be demanded for the spring election.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted. This resolution will result in
the saving of from three to five hun
dred dollars of the funds of the city.
The rest of the meeting was given
over to the passage of the franchise
for the construction of a spur track to
the Allen tannery. Notice of this is
given in another column.

The Sentinel, Mi1waukee's leading
morning daily. and one of the largest
papers ofthe State, has passed into the
hands of new ownership and man
agement.
We wish for the new management a
most brilliant, useful and successful
future. The Sentinel has been a
splendid paper and the new manage
ment will not have the easiest task in
the world keeping it up to its old
standard, to say nothing of making 1t
even better and a larger paper than
it has formerly been. The Sentinel
has been the leading Republican pa
per of the State in it's time and we sim
cere1y hope that it will be brought
back to and kept in that position OF
undisputed leadership in the State.
The platform of the Sentinel, as pub
1ished in the first edition of the new
management, promises great things
for the paper, and if the platform is
rigidly adhered to there is no reason IN
the world why the Sentinel should not
become, not only the leader of the Re
publican press of the State, but an ex-
ample for journalism generally. The
reads as follows:
It will be it's policy to provide it's
readers, at whatever cost, with the
news.
It will be Republican newspaper
It will do what it can to prevent fac
tiona1 divisions in the party, or in the
community.
It will criticise. as the public interest
may seem to require, men and meas
ures, without fear or favor.
It will endeavor to be just to it's po-
1itica1 opponents, and courteous in its
criticism, if such there shall be, of
other newspapers.
It will do its utmost to develop the
material and other interests of this
commonwealth.
1t will advocate justice to the peo-
pie, and justice to capital, corporate or
otherwise.
It will not be the organ of any per-
son or of any faction, political or 9th
erwise.
1t does not propose to be in any wise
sensational.
It will not criticise individuals un-
Justly because connected with corpor-
ate interests, nor will it attack corpor-
ate interests because of any dislike of
individuals connected with them.
It will not permit itself to be made
in any way the vehicle of any mans
spite or spleen, or the mere instrument
of any mans personal ambition.
It will not assume to be infallib1e, or
that it is the embodiment of all the
wisdom, intelligence, and honesty in
this community, nor that all who dis
agree with it are actuated by unwor-
thy or corrupt motives.
In short, it will seek to be a fearless,
fair Republican newspaper, serving
the best interests of the party and of
the State, helping to build up the COM
mercia1 interests of every nature, and
adhering to this purpose, it hopes to
secure the commentator and con-
fidence of an ever increasing con-
stituenCy.

New Election Law.
Winfield Tribune.

Wln1eld tribune.
II looks as though it was the purpose of the
last legislature to pass law disfranchisng as
many voters as possible. The intricacies of
the Australian ballot were bewildering, but if
the Legislature had let it alone, the voters would
soon have learn I'd to comprehend it. At each
session, however, some member with more in
dustry than brains tackled on an amendment,
and the result has been large number of voters
were unable 10 legally mark their ballots. The
last legislature capped the climax. If judges
follow the law to the letter, twenty per cent of
votes next election will be thrown out. The
statute specifically prescribes that the follow
ing irregularities in marking the ballots renders
it absolutely void:
1st. Making the cross mark outside the cir
Gle at the top of the ticket, or outside any of
the squares after the name of candidate
ed. Making any mark whatsoever on ballot
except the voting cross.
3d.. Making cross in circle at head of ticket
and also in squares, unless each and every
square in same column shall be SC marked
4th. Making cross marks in two or more
circles at head of different tickets.
5th. Writing name or names on ballot in
any manner or place other than prescribed by
the statute.
9th. Marking more candidates than there
are persons to be elected to office.
9TH. Any defacing or tearing of ballot.
9Th. Eracing any device, emblem, figure,
letter or word on the ballot.
9th. Marking or writing on ballot with
other than pencil having black lead.
There are number of other points in this
law that the voter will have to give careful
study in order to vote properly. There is nota
single amendment, however, which adds any
thing to guard against illegal voting or protects
the purity of the ballot. The only effect that
can be attained is to disfranchise the uninformed
voter. The law evidently conceived bv
some political ass who believed the ignorance of
the state was in the ranks of the opposition to
the Republican party. 1t is the most venal,
nonsensica election law on the statutes of any
state i'll the Union.

book, and less honesty than there is among
thieves.
Lawyers may offend rogues and corporations
and not be entitled to as much honor as the
man whose life rusts out for want of honorable
employment. The teacher and preacher are
grander figures in history than milionares.
The tramp, if driven to tramp for want of en-
ployment, is away ahead OF the men who drove
him into such an unnatural life in that measure
that sizes men up for what they are, rather
than what they seem to be.
Under our competitive system, at the core,
there is no heart for benevolence, kindliness or
boundless compassion toward our fellows, such
as the Son of Man taught should be, and such
as our hearts would cry out for were we are
under different teaching and different environ
ments Intellectually, as whole, the race is
dwarfed and the nob,est impulses are throttled.
Energy is diverted into wicked channels and
mans best ideals are rnattainable.

the -hindmost' stampede from the cradle to the
grave. Competition has no favors for these
classes There is whole lot of the how-not-
to-get-rich people, and the number increases
daily.
l knew a very ordinary scrub of a man who
went TO the gold fields. He was one of null
titude who 'struck it rich." From mining,
this man entered railroad company He
helped "squeeze'' honest investors, and not
only bought stock below value, but he helped
issue and sell watered stock. He became i'm
mensev rich, but his trail was the trail of a
serpent.
Other men, through deeds that, beside them
highway robbery is honorable, obtained control
of the coal and iron mines. They bought la
Dor at starvation prices, and sold the products
of their mines at an advance over cost of 200
per cent!-and they, alas! got rich.
Another set of men handled money exclus-
lively. In addition to interest collected there
was panic every twenty years. The panic is
the grand finale of worlds money system that
fattens the victim for a great feast of human
agony. All the great bankers who were in the
secret, and had hand on the string, prospered
exceedi Ugly.
Lately, the field in which to gain riches has
been enlarged. There are billion-dollar trusts
of mines and MANUFACTURERS, and there is much
wealth already in store, and untold billions in
prospect.
We are reaching the climax of the competi-
tive system. The field is narrowed down to
chosen few. The tramp is not sure OF hand
out, nor the dog of bone, but the buzzard is
sure of the carcass. All else is uncertainty
I have seen the temperate and industrious
live hard and die poor in multitudes, and yet,
they made the best of their opportunities. Had
their opportunities been greater, they might

sent off for fine stock, and his neighbors shared
the benefits of improved stock. He, too mar
ried, and his wife was his companion instead OF
his slave. His ears we're ever open to the cry
of the unfortunate. He helped to pay the
preacher. His money sent missionaries to
China to get into trouble with the Boxers. In
the earlier years of his life, he had modest
competency. Being hard worker his health
broke. There was sickness and short crops.
He borrowed money, and interest ate holes in
his pocket-book. His old miser chum took ad-
vantage of his necessity and bought his stock
for less than value. AT last he died, scarcely
escaping the poorhouse.

A DESERTER CAPTURED.
Arthur Howard, Jailed ut Manila, VIII
Shortly BE Court Martialed for Going
Over to the Enemy.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Lieut. Hazard. Of
the Third cavalry, has brought in here
Arthur Howard, the American desert
er, who was recently captured by the
lieutenant while in command Of some
Macabebe scouts in the island Of Min
doro. He was placed in Jail and will
shortly be court-martialed. Howard
denies that he was ever an American
soldier. He claims he was born in
Spain, that his father was English and
his mother Spanish, but that he
espoused the cause Of the Filipinos.
In 1895, after peace was declared, he
SAYS he went to Hong Kong and re-
turned in 1898 as Aguinaldo's chief
Of artillery. While in that position,
Howard also says, he made friends
with many Americans before the In
surrection, including Gen. Green. lie
cast his lot with Aguinaldo at the
time Of the rupture with the Ameri-
cans and he says that he brought in
16 American prisoners under flag OF
truce at Angeles in September, 1899,
Howard denies that he commanded
the force at San Mateo which killed
Gen. Lawton. He speaks like an edu'
Gated Englishman. Lieut.. Hazard
saws he, himself, saw Howard at
| Angeles in 1899. Two former Cali,
forn;a volunteers yesterday identified
Howard as a deserter from their regi-
ment named Valley, Of company A
