G. d. JONES, one of our conservative
republicans, gave his views on the po-
litical situation of his party in this Sec
ton to the Milwaukee Sentinel, last
Friday as follows:
&c. ID. Jones of WauSau, one of the
well known attorneys of the Wisconsin
valley, was at the Plankinton yesterday.
Mr.. Jones is too busy in his profession
TO be a politician, but he keeps up an
interest in matters however and takes
stand for certain matters which are in
the public mind at the present time.
In speaking of the gubernatorial situa-
ton he said, Undoubtedly the governor
has few political friends up there
with us, but in my observation, it is
pretty much one way so far as Senu-
mentiS concerned. So far as / can see
the changes are the other way. To
my mind as a man who is not actively in
politics, no man can be success as gov
ernor WHO'S unwilling &c counsel with
his friends. To assume that every body
and everything is politically corrupe un-
less bearing q certain brand or mark. is
in violation of the American sense of
fair play, and do not believe that the
people will stand for it.

A NEW YEAR.

With the tolling of the bells at mid
night of this day we shall enter upon
the second year of the Goth century. If
the year 1902 is as prosperous, as has
been the one just drawing to a close, VIC
have no fear and will welcome the in
FAINT with outstretched arms. The past
year has witnessed many changes,
though few that worked to our detri-
ment. A revision of the old quotation
to read thus: thine moves in a mys-
FERROUS way, his wonders to perform"
would illustrate the happenings record
ed in our chronology for the dying year.
Old Father Time, with his sickle in
hand, has been lenieDt with us, for we
have not been visited by any disease of
a fatal nature; the business man feels
secure for we cannot recall single
failure in our midst of a serious nature
during the past year; the Marathon Co.
farmer is happy for his crops never
were larger or market so ready as the
past year has been fruitful of. In fact
we are all happy.
The same conditions prevail TO a
marked degree all over the country, as
is witnessed by the reports of Brad
street and Dun. The ysar 1901 has
witnessed the building Of more miles
of railroad than any proceeding year
for seven years. The bank clearings
increased SO per cent over the previous
year. The percentage of assets to liza
bilities this year is AGA per cent. smaller
than of any year for thirteen years.
Years are but the stepping stones of
time. We enter life's pathway and
travel its rocky course, and when we
reach its end lay down our burden, and
then marks the coming of another
morn. The book of life is an interest
ing one and as at each succeeding year
we turn over a new leaf, we wonder
how many pages are still before us.
We can read the pages of the past but
the pages of the future are blank to u.s.
In the words of Shakespeare "All the
worlds stage" we each perform our
parts, live but few years, and the book
of life is terminated with that one ma
gical word Fins" In reviewing con-
ditions the thought strikes us How
miserable is man."
In closing we wish to state that it is
not our desire that our readers look
upon the gloomy side of life, but rather
on the sunny side. 1t is our hope that
tomorrow will be holiday observed
with pleasure by ALL and that the com
ing year may be prolific of manifold
destines that will be to your comfort
"A Happy New Year. to ali our read.

The evidence in the Schley case dis
closed briefly this: Sampson was in
command of the fleet but was not pres
ent at the battle of Santiago, Sampson
had formulated no plans of battle in
anticipation of one. 1t was not Schley's
place to make plans for battle, as he
was not in command of the feet When
the Spanish fleet tried to escape Samp-
son being absent, Schley, as second in
command, was in charge, but Sampson
having provided him with no plan of
battle, Schley had none nor any time
TO make plans. This being the case
every captain of our fleet put his ship
into action and fought according to his
own plan. Commodore Schley looked
on. The captains did the business all
right and there was nothing needed in
the way of commands from Schley, so
he gave none. Result, destruction of
the Spanish fleet. HSampSon had been
there it must inevitably have been the
same. If both Sampson and Schley
had been absent. it could not have re
suited differently

John Daily, of Grand Rapids. Killed in
Runaway Accident.

John DAILY, one of this sections most
prominent and successful lumberman,
and most respected citizen OF Grand
Rapids, met death in a runaway acct
dent at Dancy last Saturday. At the
time of the accident Mr. DAILY was dri.<
ing his family team hftched to pair OF
light sleighs, and in company with
Thomas Petty was going over a new
piece of logging road, which the former
was having opened up between Dancy
and Eau Pleine. The team being spir-
tied started to run and was soon be-
yond control. Mr. Petty was first to be
thrown out, but fortunately escaped
with slight injuries, and was horrified
little further on to find his companion
with life blood oozing out through a
severe cut ia top of head; there was
also other severe injuries. As no one
saw Mr.. Daily AT the time he was thrown
out OF the sleigh, it will never be known
just in what manner he received his in
juries, as the ground was smooth where
he was found. He was Immediately
removed TO his brothers home at Eau
Pleine, and medical assistance sum-
moned from Grand Rapids and Most
nee The physicians, upon arrival.
found their patient beyond medical aid.
A special train came up from Grand
Rapids and the injured man was re-
moved to his home, where he expired
at S:15 Saturday evening, never regain
ing consciousness from The time of the
accident.
Mr.. DAILY was one of the best known
lumbermen in the Wisconsin river val
ley, having varied interests. He was
junior member of the firm of O'Day q,
DAILY, and was interested in the Merrill
Iron Works; the Thief River Falls Lum-
Der Co., of Thief River Falls, Mira. :
in furniture and box factories at Grand
Rapids; he was a heavy stakeholder in
the Grand Rapids Lumber CO., which
owns considerable timber lands and OPP
crates heavily in the vicinity of Dancy
He gave employment to hundreds of
men who will mourn his death. He
was one of those big hearted men,
always interested in the building up IF
his home town, and leaves many friends
to remember his kindness
He leaves wife and three children.
Funeral was held at Catholic church,
Grand Rapids, this Tuesday morning.
A special train was run from Merrill
for accommodation of the many friends of
deceased who wished to attend the fun
eral. Deceased was 66 years of age at

man has passed to that great beyond to
meet his eternal reward.

As the mercury seemed lower or high
er in the PHILIPPINE thermometer,-as the
prospects for submission of the island
ers to our rulership appeared better or
worse, the republican press has either
patted the republican party upon the
back for this glorious acquisition, !"
which, they say, makes US world
power" or, being in the dumps on ac-
count of bad news, they have with
Christian resignation pointed to Provi-
dence as the cause which cast the bur-
den upon US. Just at present it will
not be feasible for them to take either
of these positions until it shall be settled
whether Judge Taft is right in his as
sertion that the islanders are practical
ly pacified and need nothing except
civil government to make the job COM
plete, or whether it is General Chaffee
who is right when he asserts that the
Philippines are unanimous in opposing
our rulership, and are more determined
now to secure independence than they
were before. But the news from Wash
ington indicates that Chaffee has the
best of the argument, and that alter
this the vote viii be pretty unanimous
in favor of submitting meekly to the
mysterious ways of Providence, and
asking the dear people to keep that
grand old party in power during the
indefinate period of time required to
work out this Philippine problem, and
meanwhile to be patriotic and help to
pay the few hundred million year
which the grand old party will need
to carry on its work of supplanting the
present civilization of the Philippine
islands by different. article, supposed
TO be better.

THE sober second thought of the
American people will hardly approve
the conduct of President Roosevelt
toward Gen. Miles. The latter was
technically in the wrong, but only
technically. He had said nothing to
warrant tearing a passion to tatters.
And nothing that he could have said
would justify the president of the Unit
ed States in making public spectacle
of himself by flying into a frothy pas
sion, and losing his presence of mind
before an assemblage of prominent
men.

COMING EVENTS.

The coming course of concerts is
looked forward to by music lovers with
great interest, and the ladies of the
Tuesday Musical Club are earnestly
working to make their initial effort in
this direction such success as will
warrant them in the belief that Wausau
will support good music as literally as
it has always upheld and supported the
good in every other direction.
The artists have been carefully select
ed and it is believed that the chosen
ones will appeal to all, whether stu
dents of music or not
This movement is just one more step
towards lettering the condition of our
city, and giving Wausau the reputation
as city of culture and refinement as
well as that of a thriving business CEN
ter.
Visitors to Wausau have expressed
surprise that we dare to aspire to such
artists as Mr. Max Heinrich and Miss
Clara Murray. We r>ply that the hearty
CO. operation Of Cur citizens in matters
of public enterprise has been tested be-
fore and has never failed. The ladies
expect to make this course so popular
that it will become distinct feature of
that when they wait upon the citizens,
they will be met with encouragement
and liberal support
