The OUTLOOK.

The The enthusiastic welcome Third which President Mckinley Term. received on his tour of the country has started the report that he may be making capital for a third term in office. Some of the papers take rather kindly to the idea, and say that we have grown to be such a great government that a longer term of office for the President is a thing to be well considered. It is certain that busi ness is very much unsettled by our ire Quent presidential elections and if a president held office for ten years he could do much more to shape the policy of the nation. Each decade then would stand out by itself and there would be very good basis for writing our history. However the country is conservative in this matter and in all probability neither third term nor a ten year term will come to pass atOnce. Besides this third term boom will in- jure the boom of Mark Hanna, which some politicians are nursing very care fully.

One of the signs of the times as showing our industrial supremacy is the fact that some 15 or 20 workmen from Great Britain are to come to our country for the purpose of studying our methods of manufacture the various trades in which we are the leaders. American manufacturers have been quick to take new ideas while the English are very conserva- tive.
 A New It may be news to the Passion Scene. American people that they do not need to go to Oberammer- gau to see Passion Play. It is said that in New Mexico the Franciscan friars observe year after year at the time of Lent sort of crucifXion. On Good Friday the people have pro- cession and a man volunteers who is bound to a cross and is suspended in the air for some time until often he faints from exhaustion. In former times they used to nail the man to the cross but so many died under the suf- fering that this part of the ceremony was given up. The sect that goes through with this service are called the Penitents and the May Home Magazine gives graphic account of the ceremony.
 Trusts. Russell Sage'S remarks about the dangers of the trusts have brought out a variety of quite instruc- tive replies and some very interesting figures. Mir Schwab, the president of the steel trust, shows the great combines benefit the workingman. the capitalist and the consumer. He says that company of 1000 men can be as cas- fly handled to-day as company of 100 men 50 years ago. He instances the Metropolitan Street Railway of New York, which is the consolidation of Is different companies, as d sample of how consolidation helps the public. For merly there were IS sets of officers to be paid and there was no uniformity of carrying on the business. Now, one man is at the head, there is a system to the whole thing and the public is better served. The number of men employed is five fold and their earnings have increased from p to 100 per cent. Mir Flint of the rubber trust shows that in these large combines capital is earn ing good interest and 47 trusts are cited which average over 13 per cent profit, some of them earning p per cent annually on their capital stock. Evidently there are various sides to the trust question:

Former Attorney and Real Estate Man
Would Attempt to Block Opening
of South Exchange Street.
TO TEST THE CASE IN THE COURTS
Notifies Council That He Will Make Every
Effort to Prevent Opening of Street.
Claims Awards Are Unfair.

Walter M. Cowe11 is making an eff
fort to prevent the opening of South
Exchange street, which was recently
decreed by the City Council and to fur
Their his protest he has filed lengthy
petition for the councils considera-
ton, objecting to the report of the
commission and to the awards of
damages and assessments for benefits
made by the said commission.
Cowell was assessed the sum of $75
for the payment of the street and as
he has no property fronting on the
street he alleges that he should not be
asked to pay this sum, as the opening
of the street will prove hardship to
him. Mr.. Cowel1 goes further into the
case and declares that the awards have
been made without due process of law
and that for the city to deprive him of
his property without any payment for
it is contrary to right and equity. He
claims that the street has been ordered
laid out entirely too wide.
In his petition he claims that the
street is being laid out for the benefit
of certain property owned by the Balm
estate and that the street is not needed
to enhance the value of property in
this part ofEthe city at this time. That
the award of benefits is not uniform
that the benefits acruing to property
owners are nearly all to the Balm es-
tate, while the estate has been assessed
for no part of the total cost.
In his protest Mr.. Cowel1 brings out
the point that sit is street frontage
and not acres that counts in Kenosha
at the present time" That the assess
ment of $40 as benefits to property
owners and the granting of 5000 as
damages to the estate is without paral-
lei in law and equity and entirely I'M
just.
Mr.. Cowe11 has retained attorneys
and is prepared to make hot fight to
prevent the opening of the street.
Should the city start to open the street
Injunction will at once be served on
the proper officials and the case will
be taken into the courts. In this man
ner Mr.. Cowe11 expects to land the
case in the Supreme court and secure
decision as to the rights of property
owners when streets are opened.
Nearly all the people residing on the
street favor the opening and the fight
made by Mr.. Cowe1l will probably be
an unpopular one.

CONT Your Meanness.

WHAT is the good of calling names?
What purpose is to be served by 1t!
Will either "Ha1f Breeds or "Stal-
warts'' gain anything by showering
epithets upon one another? If there is
any good to come from it, if there is any
practical purpose to be served by it, or
if either party is to gain anything by
1T, we fail to see where or how or what.
Abusiveness is not argument, never
has been and never will be. The pro-
fuse use of abusive language that has
been INDUCED in by both "Half
Breeds and "Sta1warts" in the pres
ent controversy in the Republican
party can find no excuse. 1t is hurttul
to the interests of the Republican
party eff the State, a reflection upon
the State and a rank disgrace to the
profession of journalism in Wisconsin.
IF the honest argument has all been
had, and all has been done that can be
done nv fair de1iberation and disputa-
ton to settle the question, what right
have a few whose prejudice or person
al interest still remains unsatisfied to
keep the fame of factional warfare
burning by pouring upon it the nox-
ions oil of censure, abuse and vitupera-
tiou? It cannot heal factiona1 feel
ing. it cannot hasten the day OF fair
settlement; it can only postpone the
time when reason and calm judgment
shall maintain by keeping men
minds in a state of ferment and per-
sonal feelings excited. Unreasonlng
passion. uncompromising prejudice
and Unsuitable spleen never produced
desirable results. Abuse, pure and
simple, is their natural instrument
and abuse begets antagonism which
knows no reason and recognizes no
law mt the law of destruction. Abuse
is ali there is left now of the primary
election controversy, and it indicates
bevond dispute that all there is left to
the SIGHT is the passion and prejudice
and animosity of the few who insist on
keeping the petty brawl before the
public. Then, why not desist?

Antelopes as Cave Diegers.

That there are some animals which
cannot thrive without salt is we'll

Gently, when NJ. Desuzinges, French

which their walls were largely formed

he says, lis as large as an ordinary
drawing room, and the natives assured
me that they had been entirely hol-
lowed out by the antelopes, which are
known in this country as dwicks.'
Wishing to know why the animals
busted themselves In making such
excavations, / examined the caves and
found that their walls were impreg-
mated with salt, its presence being
clearly revealed by very characteristic
capitalization. A day or two later, as
I was hunting, 1 noticed fourteen an

as soon as they heard me approach.
