SENATOR LODGE of Massachusetts,
himself one of the ablest and most
scholarly members of the senate, IN
discussing the senate committee on
foreign relations, said:
emo member of the senate is better
equipped for service on the foreign
relations committee than Mr.. Spooner.
His recognized high standing as a
LAWYER, his familiarity with interna-
tiona1 questions and of the principles
of International law, as well as the
leading part he has taken during the
past three years in all matters respect
Jug our relations with foreign coun-
tries, makes it much to be desired that
Mr.. Spooner shall become member of
this committee, before which many in
tricate and important questions will
come this winter"
The state has at present the best
wepresen tation in the upper house that
it has had IN some time. The senior
senator is recognized by his colleagues
as one of the best equipped and strong
est men in the senate today, and the
abilities of the junior senator have al
ready won him important committee
assignments, and made him regarded
as one of the rising men of that most
conservative body. Both are at pres
ent the targets for the mud singing of
a small band of petty politicians who
are jealous of their standing and abili-
ties. The people of Wisconsin have
clear understanding of the motives
which prompt these attacks, however,
and are fully alive to the necessity of
retaining both men in the service of
the state.

MANY complaints ARE being made by
the parents of the children attending
some of the schools of the manage
rnent of the play rooms in the build
ings. The play rooms were provided
by the School Board for use in just
such weather as we are having at
present, but it is alleged that the chill
dren are not allowed to use them, but
are forced to spend their recess in the
open air. The children are dismissed
by their teachers on the upper floors
and told to go directly to the play room
to avoid catching cold, BUTT is alleged
that on one occasion at least the play
rooms were closed against them, and
that the pupils were forced to go out
on the grounds without wraps. In
consequence many of the children are
suffering from aevere colds. Those in
authority should look into the matter.

KEMPER HALL CLOSES.
Annual Holiday Vacation For the Young
Ladies Begins This Afternoon.

Kemper hall closed for the winter
term this afternoon and a large NUM-
Der of the young ladies left this even
ing for the different states to spend
the holidays. They will have three
weeks rest as school will not open
again until the 9TH of January. The
term just closed has been the most sue
cessful in the history of the school.
More pupils have been enrolled than
ever before and the usual high stand
ard for work has been kept up.
With the opening of the new term
the new gymnasium and dormitory
will be dedicated and the young ladies
will have new home for their sports
and games.
The only thing of interest in con-
nection with the closing was a general
order issued by the Sister Superior IN
charge of the school demanding that
all the young ladies be vaccinated he'
fore returning for the next term.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE has received
an unexpected advertisement for the
article on Senator Plat which he
wrote for McC1ure's. 1t is reported
that the Senator will sue White for
libel. For a score of years or more
the sharpest writer's of the country
have dipped their pens in gall and
gone after Plat, but White is the first
that ever got a ''rise'' out of the old
man. Plat has prospered and main
tanned his position as the power be-
hind the throne in New York State
politics for twenty years under storm
of personal abuse and vituperaticn
that would have broken the heart of a
man of finer sensibilities. Whites
article is very mild in comparison with
many that have been published in that
time about him, but Plat has never
made move to resent any of them un
til now.

THE President has appointed Henry
c. Payne postmaster general in his
cabinet. Mr.. Payne is a practical
business man of great executive ability
and sound judgment. He has served
on the executive committee of the
National Republican committee for
many years and has been vice
chairman of that body through two
national campaigns. Mr.. Payne was
postmaster at Milwaukee during the ad'
ministration of President Hayes and
Arthur and has taken deepinterest in
the workings of the department ever
since. Mr.. Payne during his long
service on the National committee
made hosts of personal friends, and
his appointment to cabinet position
will meet with hearty approval, not
only in his own State but throughout
the country. The Presidents first cab
met appointment is a good one. He
seems to have adhered strictly to his
rule of e1ecting ''on1y the best men"
for office.

CAPTAIN CLARK, of the Oregon, and
Cook, of the Brooklyn, who, with AID
mira1 Sch1ey are entitled to all the
credit for the victory at Santiago have
not been suitably rewarded for the
part they took in that battle. Instead
of having gained promotion as the re-
suit of the war, they have actually lost
seniority by having less meritorious
officers advanced over them. Con
gress should take measures to remedy
this injustice at this session. Even
Roaring Robert Evans, whose sole
claim to preferment rests in great part
upon his own unsupported and unsohc
tied testimonials as to his own heroic
behavior upon numerous occasions,
has been made a Rear Admiral, and it
does not speak well for the gratitude
of the country that proper recogni
ton of the claims of these distin
guished captains has been so long de
1ayed.

Marroquin Government at Bogota and
the Andrade rebellion in Venezuela will
be encouraged if not assisted. The sit
uation in the latter has been too often

shown an equal determination to pro-
tect the concessionaires-so of them
also Americans-whom the trust would

High Federal Court at Caracas. But
the trouble is that. on the merits of the
case. there is thought to be danger that
this tribunal of last resort will decide
adversely to the trust. This is no new
fear, for months ago it was represented
to the Venezuelan Government that,
should such thing happen. the de-
cision would be considered subject to
revision at Washington. Since that no.
tice was conveyed to President Castro,
it seems to have dawned upon the Ad
ministration that an attempt to review
and reverse the findings of the Supreme
Court of a friendly nation might in
volve us in international complications
of an uncomfortable character; in
short. that the public opinion of the
world would resent such a high handed
proceeding, and that the Concert of
Nations might regard it as occasion for
calling a halt.

THE BRITISH WAR OFFICE.

1t is the general opinion among those
who have given much study to the matter
that the British civil service system is
superior to our own. From it's nature it
must be. Public servants have the bene-
hit of long training. of protection against
displacement through political changes
and enjoy reasonable hope of promotion
rs a reward of well-doing. Thus there is
an incentive 20 do faithful work and to
display merit because there is a good
chance that 1t will be recognized But
from the administration of the English
War Office this country has apparently
not much TO learn unless il may be what
to avoid. The committee appointed last
December TO investigate and report upon
the organization and conduct of that de
partment has attended to those duties,
and its findings are not such as to cause
the British public much pride or satisfac-
