MADISON, Wis, Feb. 13.-A bill provid-
Ing for the installation of the initiative
and referendum in Wisconsin was intro

PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.
The proposed primary-election law was
debated before the legislature this after
noon. The hearing was TECHNICALLY only
before the joint committee on elections
but 1t was held in the assembly cham
Der, and practically every member of the
legislature was present. The principal
speeches were by Dairy and Food Com
ullSSlOlSr II. -. AuaIbS lOf IUe Dill ana
by U. S. Internal Revenue Collector
]. G. Monahan against it. Mr.. Adams
speech was an elaborate argument for
the bill, and Mr. Monahan wandered from
his subject to attack newspapers which
support the bill. These speeches are inn
portant because they sound the keynotes
of the big fight which will talks place on
the floors of the two houses when the
bill comes from the committee.
ADAMS FAVORS PROPOSED LAW.
Mr.. Adams said in part:
1.-THE opponents of the primary election
law, presenting numerous objecIicns
against the measure, must be crowded by
the resistless force of plain logic into the
final attitude of denying the wisdom of
popular government, and afflrming-5lGe
desirability of representative government
wherever that is possible. The friends of
the measure stand squarely upon this
proposition: That wherever we can OBJ
tain a direct expression Of the peoples
will it should lie done, and that the rep
resentative system should only be used
when it is what might be called q physi-
cal necessity.
Friends OF the primary election law
say that voter can be trusted TO pick
cut candidate for Office. The oppon-
ents of the primary election law say that
the voter may be trusted to pick out

II You desire to substitute Populist

tnat You deliver the old Republican eIe-
nhant to be sacrificed on the altar Of
Populism, ami tile possibilities are that
the Republican party will pass from a
majority to a minority organiza ton in
Wisconsin, and this bill will be repealed
by ., a Democratic legislature.
Ihe Republican party has faced grave
dangers curing her career, but if tenn
porarlly overwhelmed, she has always

IN every conflict when she fought under
fer own flag for her own principles, and
only suffered shame and defeat when she

around AFTER strange gods"

THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES,
One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.

One of the Ancient Seven Wonders
of the World.
The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders or
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
" made of bronze, historically known
as the colossus of Rhodes. 1t repre-
sented Phubus, the national deity OF
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
a pupil of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2SS B. Z.
The popular belief is that 1t stood
astride the harbor of Rhodes. that 1t
was 1O5 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pl!ny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was east on metal plates,
afterward Joined together, and this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was a spiral staircase reach
ing into its head. and in a great mirror
suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast Of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After 1t had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that is, until
A. d. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 300 talents-say, 49,
600 O,OOO-and 1t is not too much to say
that similar image might be con-
structed now in one-fOurth Of the time
and Mt one-thlrd of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues Of the sun.

may be- replied the girl. 'Tf you evel
hear a complaint from my lips, yor
may leave me in the road and continue
your Journey alone"
Half an hour later on, the podorojna
being presented by Michael, three post
horses were harnessed to the tarantass
These. animals, covered with long hair
were very like long legged bears. They
were small, but spirited, being Of Sibe
rian breed.
They were harnessed thus: One, the
largest, was secured between two long
shafts on whose farther end was
hoop called douga, carrying tassels
and bells. The two others were SIM
ply fastened by ropes to the steps Of the
tarantass. This was the complete har'
ness, with mere strings for reins.
Neither Michael Strogoff nor the
young Livonian girl had any baggage
The rapidity with which one wished to
make the journey and the more than
modest resources Of the other prevent
ed them from embarrassing themselves
with packages. 1t was a fortunate
thing under the circumstances, for the
tarantass could not have carried both
baggage and travellers. 1t was only
made for two persons, without count
ing the driver, who kept his equilibri-
um on his narrow seat in q marvellous
manner.
The driver is changed at every relay.
The man who drove the tarantass dur
ing the first stage was, like his horses,
q Siberian and no less shaggy than
they-long hair, cut square on the fore
head, hat with turned up rim, red belt,
coat with crossed facings and buttons
stamped with the imperial cipher. The
driver on coming up with his team
threw an inquisitive glance ut the pas
sengers Of the tarantass. No luggage
And had there been, where IN the
world could he have slowed It? Rath-
er shabby In appearance too. He look
ed contemptuous.
Grows" said he, without caring
whether he was overheard or not;
"crows at 6 copecks verst"
"No; eagles" said Michael, who un.
derstood the slang perfectly; eagles,
do you hear, at 8 copecks a verst and a
tip besides"
He was answered by merry crack
of the whip.
In the language Of the Russian pos
tilions the Grow" Is the stingy or poor
traveller who at the posthouses only
pays 2 or 3 copecks verst for the
horses. The "eagle" Is the traveller
who does not mind expense, to say
nothing of liberal tips. Therefore the
crow could rot claim to fly as rapidly
as the imperial bird.
Nadia and Michael Immediately took
their places in the tarantass. A small
store of provisions was put in the box,
in case at any time they were delayed
in reaching the posthouses, which are
very comfortably provided under d.
rection of the state. The hood was
pulled up, as 1t was insupportably hot,
and ut IL o'clock the tarantass, drawn
by Its three horses, left Perm In q
cloud of dust.
