The Washington Star explains that, al
though we are not going to give Cuba
what We promised to give her, and what
she wants, we are going to give her some
for her. and what she ought to want. That
Is it exactly. The essence of benevolent
assimilation could not be more lucidly
stated. In it's noble zeal for the welfare
OF it's beneflciaries, 1t does not allow any
such triies as puny sentiment against tell

General Grant. when a southern congress-

"GOrnlanizing."

rom the Cumberland News.
The political situation in Maryland has
suggested the coinage of a new word to
The Washington Star and that word is
explained in the following sentence: ITO
gormanize state is to pare down its suf-
frage to meet present partisan demands" )"
Senator German may yet achieve dis
tlnctlon that came to Governor Gerry Of
Massachusetts, after whom the practice of
irregular division of districts for partisan
advantage was called gerrymandering. 1t
is not an enViable distinction to supply a
language with political bye-word, but
it would be an appropriate termination of
Mr.. Germans long career as a political
boss, whose methods have provoked popu-
lar uprising and Indignation. There is not
the slightest doubt about the paternity of
the measure now being urged in this state
by the German ring. There is not the
slightest question as to the reason of Mr.
GoImans anxiety for its adoption for its
evident purpose is to make his return to
the Senate possible. Therefore, he will
surely deserve the odium that will attach
to him if the word "gormanize' is general
ly adopted in the application noted.

A Delightful Entertainment ut Elm
Grove ParochiaI School.
The children of the Elm Grove par
ochial school gave a delightful enter
tainment last evening, rendering a very
pretty programme, previously prepared
with much care and attention. The diff
ferent numbers were received with en-
thusiastic applause, and SO well did
each little one acquit herself of her
part that it is rather difficult to single
out any individual as outdoing her as
sociateS. The choruses We're all bright
and charmingly sung by the sweet lit
tie misses. The vocal solo "A Foolish
Little Maiden" was sweetly rendered
by little Esther Beuter, and brought a
round of hearty applause to the youth
full songstress.
The recitation 3The Last Hymn" was
given with fine effect by the senior
girls of the school. The music was OF
a high order, and the duet la Bala-
dine, played by the Misses Layden and
Callaghan, was the gem of the evening.
The most notable feature Of the enter
tainment was the presentation of four
gold medals by the Rev. E. Weber.

the different classes, namely: Miss Rose

Albion Academy.

The first three days of this week have
been devoted to examinations this being
the end of the first term.
There are not only bright prospects
but positive knowledge that next term
will be success as far as attendance is
concerned. Many applications have been
received, so many, in fact, that accom-
modations for those who come cannot be
had in the school buildings.
The first noteworthy social event of the
year took place Tuesday evening. The
faculty, students, and several invited
guests sat down to splendidly served
Thanksgiving dinner. The dining hall
had been tastefully decorated for the oc-
casion. The banquet was given in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Jensen. When at
length justice had been done to the
sumptuous feast, Prof Ristad rose to
voice the sentiments of all present,
speaking in high appreciation of the ex-
cellent work done for the Academy by
Mr.. Jensen, and presented him, from the
faculty and students, as slight token
of their appreciation, with an elegant
gold match safe. Mr.. Jensen responded
in speech in which he disclaimed any
honor or credit for the time and labor it
had been pleasure for him to bestow
on the academy, paid fine compliment
to the faculty and students, and ex-
pressed his deep and heartfelt gratitude
for the honor shown him. Prof. Ristad
being ex-officio the postmaster of the oc-
casion, called upon and introduced with
apt and witty illusions to the individ-
uality of each speaker the following:
Rev. Linnevold, Mr. Solheim, Prof Teis-
berg, and Prof. Haight, who responded
with eloquence and enthusiasm in words
mplimentary, bright, and hopeful. The
event was an unqualified success.

business they will secure share of the
patronage of this city and surrounding
country. The public are cordially in

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Gasoline Lighting Plant in Goodrich's
Store Explodes.

One of these new tangled gasoline
lighting machines which are being intro
duced this season, and couple of them
installed recently in Edgerton, blew up
in the Boston store, owned by FL. w.
Goodrich, about four o'clock Tuesday
evening and flames from the reservoir
tank shot up to the ceiling. The store
was filed with customers at the time
and there was CONSERVATION and ex-
element and hurried rush for the
doors. Fortunately there were no in
hammable goods located near the fire or
the store would have been afame in an
instant and but for the presence of mind
of Mr.. Goodrich, who securing blanket
by dint of rapid work succeeded in
smothering the blaze, something vastly
more serious might have occurred. Mr..
Goodrich considers it a mighty close call,
however, and himself fortunate that his
whole store did not go up in smoke. Mr..
Goodrich says if the agents for this ma
chine will furnish him paid up policy
on his life and stock of goods at full
rate he might leave the machine in his
store, otherwise electric lights are good
enough for him.
The ever present danger of having a
tank of gasoline in the same building
with infammable goods is risk no
merchant can afford to take when a
safer and better method of illumination
is at hand. If our flame killer" man
would only keep on the trail of the gaso
line machine vendor he ought be as
sured good sale for his fire extin-
guishers.

A Hot Game at Albion.

One of the best played and most holly
contested football games of the season
occurred Thursday afternoon, between
Milton College and Albion Athletics at
Albion The game started at 3:15 with
kick off by Albion, Place securing the
ball and advancing it to center of field.
Milton lined up and by end runs ad-
vanced the ball about yards, when AL
bion held them for downs. Taking the
ball Albion went down the field to Mil
tons 25 yard line where they were penal
lied 10 yards for off side play. Nothing
daunted, the boys steadily advanced the
ball to their opponents yard line when
time was called. After 10 minutes inter-
mission Milton kicked off, Tyler carry
ing the pigskin forward for Is yards
gain, Albion lining up on their 35 yard
line and advancing the ball to Millions
II yard line there losing it on downs
Milton taking the ball succeeded by end
runs and line bucking in forcing it to
within 3 yards of Albions goal where
Milton fumbled and Tyler fell on the
ball. The umpire at once awarded it to
Albion. While forming for aggressive
work, Milton seized the ball and rushed
across the goal line claiming touch
down. The officials, being unable to ar
rive at a decision on error of the last
play, the game stood to @. The main
features of the game were the excellent
aggressive work of both teams and bril-
liant runs of Whitford of Milton and
Watson of Albion.

Tobacco Notes.

Mr.. Jos. Hirsch of New York visited
the local markets of the state during the
week.
Mr.. Phil A. Goslinski, San Francisco
leaf dealer, dropped off in this market
for short stay during the week on his
return from New York, leaving for home
Saturday evening.
John r. Young, of the Philadelphia
firm of Young & Newman, was in this
market Tuesday accompanied by J. M.
Thayer of GAINESVILLE who looks after the
Wisconsin business.
S. B. Heddles has purchased the L.
Bamberger building just south of his
brick warehouse in GAINESVILLE and has
coated it with iron and will remodel it
and make a irst-class storage house of
it. b. w. Calkins has purchased the
Suffer Bros warehouse near the st.
Paul passenger station and will occupy
it this season.
week in the Rio tobacco section where
a number of the Americans buyers were
operating. 1t is his opinion that three
quarters of the acreage in this section
has been purchased at prices ranging
from to 1Oc. The three chief products,
tobacco, potatoes and beans grown by
farmers in that section are all bringing
first-class prices this season. With po-
tatoes at rs cents, beans at $1.5O and
tobacco at & 1Oc, the farmers are hav-
ing easy times.
Although the fact may so far escaped
the attention of the trade, the information
comes to us upon the best authority that
the Chicago firm of j. Friedman & Co.
are the largest holders of 1900 Wisconsin
leaf of any jobbers in the west. This en-
terprising firm has been quietly adding
to their holdings ever since it purchased
the Soverhill & Porter packing early in
spring. Lately they took big block of
Vernon county leaf from the Bamberger
firm, until the Chicago house can count
about 1000 cases of 1900 Wisconsin and
makes them clearly the largest holders
of the crop of any jobbers in the west.
Friedman & Co. are one of the Oldest
houses in Chicago and have each year
been extending their trade throughout
the country. Their business foresight
in securing such large block of Wis
consin puts them in position to serve
their customers with the best binder
stock the trade has seen in some years.

We are informed that the increase in
state taxes is very largely due to the mill
tax for school purposes, though some ad-
ditional tax for purely state purposes
was made. The county tax is higher be-
cause of $4,000 raised for a soldiers
monument and also to cover a deficit in
the treasury. The local school and mu-
nicipal tax will also be few hundred
dollars higher this year.

tive preparation against such evils as that
reported in the Ellis Island case, where.
for instance, the basement of the new hos
pital leaks even to the point of flooding
with the tides. The character OF the soil
and the height Of the tides were well
known in advance. Waterproof cellars have
been built under similar conditions. II on
so important a matter both the private and
the public architects score a failure what
guarantee is there that a similar taint OF
error may not be found In any line Of their
work?
1t Is evident that the true remedy for the
defects of the public building system has
not yet been found. Much of the fault may
be due to the contractor, but surely there
is or should be legal method to prevent
such a lapse. There should be enough
acumen in the responsible officials to pre-
vent the acceptance Of unwisely low bids.
There must be something wrong with an
organization which cannot find good men tc
do the public work and hold them to their
requirements.
Washington hopes that these deficiencies
will be cured before the new government
buildings imperatively required by the pub
lie service in this city are planned and
built. In the days to come there should be
the best of designing, the best of super
vision and hence the best Of workmanship
in all such constructions. which are not for
the year, but for all time. the monuments
of a governments dignity, power and great
ness, not of the sloth, incapacity or cor

Mr.. Hanna Still in Harness.

Senator Hanna's declaration on the Ohio
stump Saturday that his interest in poll
tics Is unabated and that he has no inten-
ton of resigning the craftsmanship of the
republican national committee will be read
lily accepted by all who know the man.
1t has pleased Mr.. Hanna's political op-
ponents for the past four years to repre-
sent him as the great power behind the re-
publican throne. Nothing was done with
out previous consultation with him. He Sc
lected men for the principal Offices He
shaped the national policies. His smile was
worth fortune to it's recipient His frown,
or a shake of his head, was a sort Of SEN
tence of death. Men secretly schemed, or
openly fought, for his favor. 1t was gov
ernment of Hanna, by Hanna, and for Han
mas favorites. As a result, when Mr.. Nc
Kinley was killed the report followed that
Mr.. Hanna had lost all interest in pubic
affairs, and at as early day as possible
would withdraw from office and its respon-
sibilities- The bullet that ended Mr.. Nc
Kinley's life had ended also Mr.. Hanna's
political power, and he would not lag su-
perfiuous on the stage.
Like ali yarns Of its class, this yarn was
overdrawn. 1t scarcely needed e formal de-
nial. The country had come to know how
features Of Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley
1t had come to appreciate the relationship
that had existed between the two men,
They were very intimate friends, and MI
Mckinley put high valuation on Mr.. Han
mas judgment about men and measures.
He frequently consulted him, and frequent
ly no doubt to his advantage. But Mr.
Mckinley was always the President. He
sat at the head of the table, and his was
the most potent voice In his administration.
His wisdom taught him to seek advice, and
his experience taugL. him where to go for
1t. But it was advice and not direction
that he sought, and that was offered him
by whomsoever he complimented by an ap-
plication.
Mr. Hanna. then. has lost a near and
dear personal friend, and naturally deeply
deplores his loss. But he is still interested
