III lie NEW

Having entered upon the TWEEN
tieth century, a few reflections con-
corning the great event, are
naturally in place. A hundred
years is but a brief span in the
worlds history, or in that of ma
tions, but in the life of men it is a
stupendous reach of time. The
significance of this statement
comes home to us with force when
we reflect that not one of the mil
lions who rejoice in the advent of
the new century, will be on earth
when the next. one is ushered in.
We will all have been gathered to
our fathers.
As we have stated, a hundred
years is merely a span in the life
Of a nation, and yet the century
Just closed has witnessed the most
marvellous advance in our country.
It has been a century of progress
all over the civilized world, but to
no nation didit bring such marve-
lous development as to the United
States. One hundred years ago
we we're but a mere handful of
people. Such cities as Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Cincinnati
and San Francisco had not even
begun to exist. There wasn't a
rod of railroad in the United
States. The telegraph had not
been ,dreamed of, and had any
man then living ventured to pre-
dict such an invention as the tele-
phone he would have been deemed
a fit subject for the mad house.
No steamboat had ever plowed the
waters and the idea of utilizing
the lightning's power to illuminate
a city would have beenpronounced
the fantasy Of a disordered brain.
The power printing press, the sew
ing machine, the typewriter, the
moving machine, the reaper, and
a thousand other inventions that
now tighten labor and facilitate
production were as yet unborn.
We mention these things mere
ly to illustrate the great progress
made during the last one hundred
years. It has been a grand CEN
fury. Its achievements surpass in
Importance those Of any previous
ten centuries in the history Of the
world, and what is still more to
Americans, their country has led
the van of progress from almost
start to finish of this marvellous
period. Our advancement has
been greater than that of any
other nation. We have given to
the world more inventions than
any otherpeople. Our population,
our wealth, our liberty and our
civilization have increased most
rapidly. We have more schools,
churches, newspapers, books, fac

due to catarrh Of the kidneys. Catarrh
Of the bladder Is q common disease, and
is rapidly becoming more and more

organs are subject to catarrh, and ca.

be any other distinguished visitor,
but care is taken that no en-
couragement be held out to him.
In this positive refusal of the
European nations to make the
cause of Kruger and his people
their own what a rebuke there is
for the p~estiferous and self-seek-
ing demagogues who but a few
weeks ago we're rushing up and
down the land believing like so
many wild steers because our
government refused to throw down
the gauntlet Of war to Great Bri-
tain in behalf of the Beers. And
yet this nation had gone farther in
their behalf than any other in the
world has done up to the present
time. We rendered our friendly
Office, with a view to bringing the
war to a close, but this did not
satisfy men like Bryan, Altgeld
and Towne who for the sake of
winning a few British votes
for the Democratic party we're
willing to plunge the country into
the horrors of war. Wisely did
the American people act when they
buried that gang of ranting politi-
cal demagogues mountain deep
beneath an avalanche Of condem-
uatory ballots.

tories, railroads and the mostsuc-
cessful popular government of any
land on earth.
And yet we may we'll believe
that as a nation the United States
is but in it's infancy. We number
all told, about 100000 souls,
but when our population shall be
as great per square mile as is that
of France, there will be more than
500,O00,000 Americans. What a
tremendous possibility this thought
suggests, or rather what a future
it reveals for our country; for that
the United States is destined to
rapidly become by far the greatest
nation that has ever existed on
earth there is no reason to doubt.
The century that has just dawned
will in all probability witness a
greater progress for America than
did the century just closed. Be-
fore the new: century shall have
passed by our population will be
numbered by the hundreds Of mil
lions. There will be a thousand
new cities. North Dakota will be
a great and thriving common
wealth, with perhaps a score or
more of cities as big as st. Paul,
and just as likely as not Devils
Lake will lead them all. There is
no reason. so far as human intelli-
gence can perceive, why it should

LESSON FOR DEMAGOGUEs,

~ IOAS hOs
When Paul Kruger ran away
from his own country in the face of
the foe he ceased to be the heroic
figure he was when standing man
fully by his country, he babe them
fight on in defense Of their liber-
ties. Then he seemed rash, it is
true, but for all that the world adj
mired his seeming, bravery and
crowned him a hero and a patriot.
But now that he has deserted his
countrymen and gone trudging
among the nations begging sym
pathy and meeting with rebuffs in
stead of kindly welcome, he no
longer appears in the light of a
valiant old man, but presents in
stead a sight at once weak and
pitiful.
The only country in which Kru-
ger has met with a warm and en-
thusiastic welcome was France,
and even there the government
held aloof from extending to him
the least recognition or encourage
ment. The people, however, gave
him a royal greeting, which they
we're inspired to do by hatred OF
England rather than by sympathy
with the Beers.
In Germany, where the people
are bound tothose of the Transvaa]
by ties of kinship, Kruger doubt
less expected a substantial vel
come but instead he met with {
cold and cruel rebuff, being re
fused the bare courtesy of a royal
recognition. So deeply did this
slight cut the poor old man that
he is reported to have cried like a
child.
The same blood that flows
through the veins of the Trans
walters also ourses in the veins 0:
the Hollanders, but their govern
ment makes no move to succo,
Kruger and his people. Don
Paul is kindly received as would

The Appleton, Mimi, Press
takes up the question Of local i'm
provements and ably discusses it
as follows: mo town ever built
up to a city Of importance without
hard work on the part of energetic
and public-spirited citizens. Pub
lie Improvements in a city is one
of the essential steps to a solid
foundation. Of course such enter
prises are always opposed by a
class who are so short sighted they
see no good in the expenditure of
money for public improvements.
Every dollar spent in the upbuild-
ing of a city enhances allproperty.
Such improvements as waterworks,
electric light plant, city hall, a
sewerage system, ETC., attract in
vestors and serve as the means to
build up town. The outlay per
capita for such improvements for
those who bear the expense is not
burdensome, and they eventually
realize more than compound int :
est on the investment because of
the increase it puts on property.
No man of means seeking a bust
ness or residence location will in
vest his capital in a town that is
void of public improvements or
conveniences. We are pleased to
be able to state that in public i'm
provements Appleton is far ahead
of any town of it's size in the state
and this fact is generally known
and favorably commented upon by
outside men Of influence. And
this will in time rebound to the
benefit Of every business man anc
property owner. But this fac
should not deter our citizens in
making further OUTLAWS for needed
improvements Of a general charac
ter. Push and enterprise are es
sential to success"

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable Fora great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced It in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

THE CHURCH,s STAND.
Is Being Discussed by Archbishop Ire
land and Secretary Root.

New York, May Evidence that the
Philippine trouble is rapidly drawing
to a close, says a special to the Tribune
from Washington. is found in the fact
that Archbishop Ireland has been in
Washington for two or three days, and
has held several conferences with Sec
rotary Root. From the beginning Of the
negotiations looking to a settlement Of
the church question Archbishop Ire
land has been the representa- tive in this
country of the vatican. The distin-
guished prelate has succeeded in keep
ing himself from the public view in his
present visit to Washington, and this
circumstance adds strength to the be-
lief at the capital that he has come to
confer with the authorities regarding
the treatment to be accorded to the mill
lions of church property of which the
friars have been dispossessed by the in
surgents. In the last month Judge Taft
has sent to Secretary Root many con-
fidential communications on this sub
ject. 1t is presumed that they contain
reconnm endations which the secretary
is now studying carefully so that ne
may assist the Taft commission in for
mulating a policy to be, pursued toward
the church interests. Archbishop Ire
land also is supposed to be prepared to
deal finally with the question for the
church. and it is therefore thought that
he and Secretary Root can soon arrive
ait a decision satisfactory to all the in
terests involved Their decision will
probably be communicated at an early
date to Judge Taft for his guidance.
