"a Curious Issue.''

If there are Americans who are too
busy in the chase for the dollar to realize
the dangers involved in the supreme
courts decisions in the Porto Rican case,
they may without great mental effort
obtain an analysis vi that decision as
made by an Englishman.
The London Daily News, commenting
upon the Porto Rican case, says it was
the most important decision which this
tribunal has ever been called upon to
make. It regards this, decision as "a
curious issue to l20 years of triumphant
democracy" Then the News adds:
ut is not progress, but retrogression !;
not the advancement Of humanity, but
that disheartening product of our times
the militarism of a democracy. We
venture to think that the trainers of the
United States constitution would have
laughed at the possibility of such a de.
velopment as incredible. The decisions
have extricated President Mckinley
from an uncommonly awkward position,
but it is a lamentable headlong fall in
the moral scale and a turning of the
back on all that has been the special
glory and distinction Of the United States
in order to join in the barbaric scramble
for the waste places of the EARTH"
Not progress, but retrogression, not
humanity, but militarism-not the pass
ing of another milestone in the path OF
civilization, but "a lamentable, headlong
fall in the moral scale and turning OF
the back ON all that has been the special
glory and distinction OF the United
States in order to join in the barbaric
scramble for the waste places of the
earth"'
Americans who can realize the truth
of this arraignment must feel even more
Inundated because OF the source whence
it comes.
The Porto Rican decision was indeed a
"curious issue to l20 years of triumphant
democracy" -Bryan's Commoner.

ARE THEY CAPABLE?

Are the Cubans capable Of self'govern-
ment? That depends on the point OF
view. In the spring Of 1898 there was
hardly voice raised in Congress 70 con-
test their capacity and fitness. AS the
winter of l90O.19O1 wore away and there
we're apprehensions lest the United States
should lose its grip upon the "pearl ofthe
Antilles" the idea that the Cubans were
capable of standing alone was secuted bv
our greatest statesmen and greatest edi-
tors. Now that the Plat amendment, by
which our pledges were repudiated. seems
likely to be- accepted-under compulsion
by the islanders, and sweet thoughts
of annexation fill the brain Of the benevo'
lent assimilator and the altruistic war
,ior for humanity, the conception OF the
Cubans again changes. Annexation is
already in sight, so you find that stern
moral leader Of the American press, the
New York Sun, coyly saying:
1--WE may here properly add word
with reference to annexation, not in adj
vocacy Of it, but in reference to certain
misrepresentation Of Cuba on the part
of those opposed to it. AS re-
cards the civilization Of Cuba, no man
who has visited Havana, Matanzas, Santa
Clara, Puerto Principe or Santiago will
for moment underrate it. In refine.
ment, in literary and artistic attain
n,ents, the Cubans thoroughly deserve
respect. Cuba has her poets, her novel
lists, her historians, her political econo
mists. 1t is now some years since We
devoted great many columns Of this
paper to reviews Of the most remarkable
history Of slavery ever published; We re-
fer to the monumental work Of Senior
saco, q distinguished Cuban. If British
North America can absorb the French
speaking province of Lower Canada. We
should find it easy to accommodate the
highly civilized state Of Cuba"
Cuba is in the position OF the Filipino
General Delgado. So long as he was out
in the hills with rihemen and bolomen,
he was "robber," "bandit," even
Savage" As soon as he surrendered he
was officially pronounced capable. &C.
complished, civilized and popular leader
OF his people, and was promptly made
governor Of province. 1.-THE highly
civilized state Of Cuba"-which means
that it's our island. The noble warrior
for humanity has been playing for keeps.

How to Tell Age OF Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says veterinary surgeon, Is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age Of horse which is more
than s years old. AS soon as the set of
teeth Is complete, however. wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid. and a new wrinkle is
added each year. SO that to get Mt the
age Of horse over years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

movement to sell the hose house, and
erect a municipal building on the site,
was not seriously contemplated. At the

failed to receive second, and a commit
tee was appointed to estimate the cost
of repairing the present building.

Washington, March 14.-Deep inter-

ion regarding the death will be de,

nation to the people notifying
them of General Harrison's death and

tues and characteristics. He will also
order salutes to be fired at various
army posts the day of the funeral and
on shipboard when the news is re-
ceiyed. Little more can be done Of
ficially as an act Of March 3, 1893, spe-
cifically forbids the draping of public
buildings in mourning or the closing
of executive departments on the oc-
casion of the death of an ex-official.
The late President Harrison was per-
sonally known to every member of the
cabinet and all spoke in praise of his
magnificent intellectually and rugged
force of character.

was: Zone characteristic of Harrison

opinion of his own political party and

ly summoned and reached the bedside
of the general before he passed away.
News of his death spread quickly
through the city and produced the
greatest sorrow, nearly every one hav-
ing nurtured the hope that he would
recover. Within few moments the
flags on all public buildings and most
downtown business blocks were hoist
ed at half mast and other outward
manifestations of mourning made.
None of General Harriso1's children

Colonel Russell B. Harrison nor Mrs.
Mckee had reached the city, although
both were hurrying on their way as
fast as steam would bear them.
Elizabeth, the little daughter, had
been taken from the sick room by the
nurse before the end came. The group
at the bedside included Mrs. Harrison,

son, Rev. M. l.. Haines, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church, which Har-

Col. Dan Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms

General Harrison's two sisters and

bed, her husbands right hand
grasped in hers while DR.. Jameson
held the left hand CT the dying man,
counting his feeble pulse beats. In a
few moments after the friends had
been summoned to the room the end
came. The great silence that fell on
the sorrcwing watchers by the bed

reaved wife and family and mingled
with the scbs CT the mourners.
General Harrison had been uncon-

He spoke to NO one yesterday, and
failed to recognize even his wife. The

Madison. March IA.


Industrial life insurance companies
received a serious blow yesterday
afternoon when the senate committee
on state affairs decided to recommend
for passage Senator Whitehead's bill
prohibiting the issuing of policies on
children under ten years of age.
Two companies, the Metropolitan II
New York and the Prudential of New
ark, N. j., have agencies in Madison
and almost every other city in Wis
consin having population of over TO-
900. In several places they have from
five to ten solicitors each. While
they do a general life insurance bus
mess, their principal income is from
what they call industrial policies, or a
plan by which protection to the
plan by which death protection to the
large sums) is given to working peo-
pie and children for small weekly
premium averaging Is or 20 cents. The
aggregate business of the two COM
panies for the year 1900 amounts to
about thTee-quarters Of million dol
lars, of which 80 per cent. was report
ed as premiums on industrial policies.
A former representative Of the Metro
politan estimates that more than 40
per cent. of it's industrial business Is
carried on children under ten years Of
age. This being the case, the effect
that the passage of this bill would
have upon the Industrial insurance
companies can be seen at once.
That no lobbyist appeared against
the measure is probably due to the
fact that it came in during the rush at
the close of new business and received
no publicity through the press. The
friends of the bill assert that the in-
surfing of small children, even at
very low age, has become a very COM
mon practice among the laboring
classes in cities, and that the idea is
in itself bad and the tendency unnatu-
raj and ObnoxiC Us to civilization. They
also claim thef the insurance thus is
sued is expensive and that it should be
discouraged.
On the other hand the agents of the
companies claim that industrial in
surance is the ideal protection for the
poor mans family. The small weekly
premium, they hold, puts insurance
within the reach of those who need it
most, and the insuring of the different
members of the family is quite as es-
sential as that the bread winner
should carry a policy on his life.
In Madison the Metropolitan has
about 275 policy holders.

Union Pacific Purchases Large Blocks
of Burlington Stock.
New York, March 14.-The Mail and
Express of last night says: ct was
learned today from an authoritative
source that the large blocks of Chica.
go, Burlington & Quincy stock which
have been bought in the open market
during the last three or four weeks
causing a jump of ten points in the
price, were taken for Union Pacific
Within short time this will be fol-
lowed by the election of several Union
Pacific men to the board of directors
Of the Burlington road. The close re.
lations which will follow between the
Union Pacific and Burlington are only
less important than the purchase of
the Southern Pacific by the Union
Pacific.
The Burlington was the company
which was most to be feared by the
Union Pacific in trans-continental
territory, the latter reaching well out
into Wyoming and Colorado and
threatening to build independent lines
OF its own to the Pacific coast. The
Union Pacifc's purchases are said to
be between 100000 and 10000 shares
and these holdings will be increased
when it can be done at concessions IN

Indianapolis, March 14.-General
BENJAMIN Harrison died at 4:45
o'clock yesterday afternoon without
regaining consciousness. His death
was quiet and painless, there being
a gradual sinking until the end came
which was marked by a single gasp
for breath as life departed from the
body Of the great statesman. Rela-
tives, with few exceptions, and sew
eraI old and tried friends were at the
bedside when he passed away. The
generals condlrIon was so bad that
tie attending physicians understood
the end could not be far off and all
bulletins sent out from the sick room
were to this effect, so the family and
friends were prepared when the final
blow came. The gradual failing of
the remarkable strength shown by the
patient became more noticeable i'll the
afternoon. A few moments before the
end there was an apparent breakdown
on the part of the sufferer as he sur
rendered to the disease against which
he had so bravely battled for so many
hours. The change was noticed by
the physicians and the relatives and
friends who had retired from the sick
room to the library below were quick
