Miss L. l.. Arthur has been visiting

spend the Fourth.
Miss Mildred Wickham, clerk at the

was decided to have nine months
school in all departments.
Miss Sarah Evans has been again
engaged to teach in the primary
department, a recognition of worthy
teacher and faithful worker.
A beautiful granite monument was
erected over the grave of Prof. Tif-
fauv last week by his family, and,
while it stands as tribute of their
affection and love for the departed, it
also is reminder of the loss Ridge
way sustained when his young life
was so suddenly blotted out last
February.
Patriotic services were held at the
p. NJ. church on Sunday evening,
July 30. The church was tasteiully
decorated with flags. The Declare

TOO MANY LAWS.

In an editorial article headed "Too
Much Zeal in Law Making" The
Saturday Evening Post says:
"None who gives attention TO the
matter will deny that this country
would be freer and happier 1t there
were lawful check against laws.
The lack of any such check puts on
the people OF every State, In every
season, such u mass Of restraints that
not the lawyers themselves keep track
of them, and confusion Is worse CON
founded by the wrongness, inconsis-
tency and mutual interference Of the
bills that go through the annual
grist. Legislatures are commonly
political rather than statesmanlikc,
and they put into the permanent form
Of law, schemes for temporary and
party benefit, Sometimes the laws
are not even SO wide MS that, but are
mere screws for eXtortion. IL cannot
be that so many measures are needed
10 preserve the uprightness of n coCn-
try that Is naturally Ms upright rs
any in the world; yet it is II fact that
over 10000 pages of laws issue every
year from the legislatures of our
states.
ave live In II riot of law making
IL Ii ~ blessing that most of the meas
ures are dead letters from the day of
their enactment, yet 1t Is n danger
that any of them can be rcsurrccted
from the limbo of the forgotten and
used TO enforce an unjust demand or
express n prejudice"
That "the best government Is that
which governs least Is n saying con
tanning good deal Of truth; but II
seems to have been long since forgot
tan by the people of the Unitec
States. Not only are the fedora
statutes altogether too voluminous
but In almost every state Of the Unior
there Is an endless confusion of laws
1t IL to be hoped that some genera
and efficient remedy may soon be APP
piled to the evil.
In Wisconsin especially there seems
TO be no limit to law making. Tn,
new representative In Senate or AS
sembly seems To think that he mus
try his prentice hand on framing new
laws or amending old ones; aud II h.
secures reelection he takes 1t rs ~
endorsement of his strenuous efforts
in law making, and continues with re
newed zeal the work of statute tinker
ing, The present legislature remain
ed in session 1876 days; and while 1t i
understood that nothing OF vital i'm
portauco was accomplished, the vol
ume of laws turned out averaged
long newspaper column of fine typ
for every day of the session. AS
check TO law making in this stat
there should he u constitutional re
quiremont that every measure enacte,
into law should be voted ON by aye
and nays, and should receive an nj
frmation vote OF the majority OF tn
members elect of Senate and Assem-
bly, respectively. With all due res
pect to our worthy governor, Tn
Democrat holds that the paramount
need of Wisconsin Is less laws rattle
than primary election laws.

Citizens Purse For Base Ball.

The Fair Society, in view of the
losses sustained by the wrecking of
some 30 horse stalls, to replace which
will cost IA considerable sum, ask the
people of Mineral Point to extend
aid toward expenses of the approach
ing fair in the way of guarantee
fund Of $500 for baseball purses. A
committee has been appointed to
solicit subscriptions to such fund,
and it ought to be easily raised. The
people Of Darlington and Platteville
have subscribed literally for similar
purposes in aid of their respective
fairs, and this people have never been
second to any others in support OF
local enterprises. If they are SO now,
the committee will be disappointed.

PENSIONS FOR MAIDS OF HONOR
Ladies of Queen Victorin's Court to
Have Small Annuities Given
Them.

The ladies of the late Queen Vic
toria's court, after anxious waiting,
have learned that they are to receive
pensions, although minute ones. Many
of these former members of the royal
household, though of high lineage,
have meager fortunes, and the maids
of honor, etc, found their posts rich
er in honor than in profit. The excuse
for the meagerness of the pensions is
the inadequacy of the provisions for
the royal expenses.
During the last few years Queen
Victoria was unable to make the civil
list meet the official expenditure and
was obliged to draw on her private
fortune. King Edward now has to
keep up Balmoral castle and Osborne
house, costing f31 900 annually,
though he diSlikes both places.

EXCITING OPPOSITION
Ascendancy of United States Stirs
Europe to Action.
Likely That mn Alliance Between
Italy and Germany and Austria
VIII lie Formed 10 Control
Commerce of Europe.

A dispatch to the Journal and Ad-
vertiser from Paris says: Addison
Harris. former United States minister
to Austria, is now in Paris on his way
home. He gave to the correspondent
the following statement ON the com
mercial sentiment of European ma
tions against the United States:
"ln 1887 the AustriaIlungaria min
lister of financial affairs urged on the
Austrian parliament the necessity for
continental bund against the United
States of America. 1t was reported
that he also addressed notes on the
subject to European courts. Austria,
in pursuance of this policy, is now en-
gagged in framing a new tariff which it
is expected Hungary will ratify, thus
making the new Austro-Hungarian
tariff take effect in 1903.
THAT year the triple alliance ex-
pires by limitation as also do the COM
mercial treaties between the three
powers. 1t is reliably reported that
these powers will cooperate CONNER
cially at the same time as they renew
their martial alliance.
"The board of trade of Austria is
diligently engaged in collecting data
and framing schedules. and the min
lister of finance will soon submit the
proposed new law to the Austrian par
lament. The terms of the schedule
have not yet been made public, but one
well informed said TO me:
/. a E.. nd
commercial treaties with Germany
and Italy, then if the United States
want to trade with us they must offer
high inducements
"Of course. how Austria and Hun
gary may formulate their common tar
if is not entirely assured. On this the
commercial treaties with Germany ana
Italy must rest. But the sentiment of
farmers and manufacturers is for high
protection, with favoritism to their
political allies.
1.-The operations of Mr.. Morgan and
his associates have energized the peo-
pie of central Europe. They are not
afraid; they have foreseen the fierce
struggle with the United States and
have been preparing for the fray. In
cluding Italy, Germany and Austria,
there are 150,000,0O0 persons between
the Mediterranean and the Baltic.
They produce everything we do except
cotton. Germany's iron works are sec
ond to none. and the question every
morning with the merchants of Buda-
Pesth is, what is'the price of grain in
Chicago?
"The upholders of the triple alliance
claim they have controlled the peace
of Europe during the last two years.
They contend that with similar COM
mercial alliance they can regulate the
commerce of Europe.
II do not think the Austrian minister
sent invitations to the chancelleries
of Europe to join in coalition against
the United States. If he had he would
not tell. Anyway, the time is not ripe
for such action. European coalition
is not impossible, but it is exceeding
ly difficult"
