Discuss the Bill.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The cheering report comes from Wash
ington that the older senators on both sides
regret the partisan turn that has been given
the debate on the Philippine civil govern
ment bill during the past few days, and are
anxious to allay the bitter feeling that has
been aroused. The sooner efforts are made
to that end the better for the reputation of
the Senate and for the welfare of the coun-
try. The spectacle presented by the Senate
during the last few days has been mortify-
ing and exasperating to Americans who
have at heart the good name and the well
fare of their country. They realize, If the
Senate does not, the gravity of the Philip
pine problem. They have seen what it has
already cost the country in many ways and
are profoundly anxious for the future. If
the wrangiing senators have at last realized
their errors and Will now address them
selves seriously to the task before them the
change will give general satisfaction.

SUPPORT THE FLAG.
Democratic Newspapers North and
South That Would Not Scuttle.

The democratic press is not a unit in
support of the policy of scuttle enunciated
by democrats in Congress. There are
newspapers processing republican faith
which have divorced their flag and married
themselves to the Malay. There are news
papers unfaltering in fealty to the demo-
cratic creed which do not acquiesce that
the government of the United States shall
decline the task committed to it by dest my
and that it shall renounce it's obligation
to the people of this country, the people
of the Philippines and the great cause of
human good.
Following are a few comments from
democratic newspapers:

MEMORIAL DAY.
Program Of Exercises at battle-ground

Wheaton are to deliver the Memorial day
addresses at battle-ground national Gene
terry on the Brightwood road. The program
will be conducted by the Grand Army of the
Republic, and will include music by the Sol

the cemetery is very near Fort Stevens,
where President Lincoln stood exposed to
confederate fire, and near by are the graves
of forty soldiers who fell July IL and II
while defending Washington. The execu-

Hurting the South.
From the Richmond News

rTom the IticuUoDu news.
The debate on the Philippines as it is
now being conducted is doing harm every
day, particularly to the south. But for
the invincible common sense of the peo-
pie of both sides, it might easily develop
extremely grave and serious results. 1t
would be a mercy to the country, and
particularly to the democratic party, if
the senators from South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi Utah and Kansas could be lock-
ed up in a room together and allowed to
conclude their discussion in private with
tongues, statistics, affidavits, penknives,
bowie knives or axes, according to pref
erence.
proceeding on the theory that the men and
officers of the United States army are
some special kind of monsters and have
tortured and killed Filipinos for the love
of it and without provocation. Their whole
effort is to put their own country and
people in the wrong and these yellow saw
ages in the right in every transaction,
episode and conflict between the two.
Their position is that Aguinaldo and his
followers are gentlemen and patriots
and men of courage and that our people
from highest to lowest are ruffans and
treacherous murderers. towards liars
and robbers. With that kind of an issue,
especially presented from southern men,
the republicans need no more campaign
material. The Goals to fire the northern
heart are laid all ready to their hands
All they have to do is to blow a little.
OF course in Tennessee and South Caro-
lima there will be vast cackling and hur-
raining among the people who do not
know anything beyond their township
lines and do not see anything beyond their
own noses. We shall have sophomore
praises Of the manly and fearless" and
"outspoken'' declamations of Tillman and
Carmack. But that will be poor salve for
the harm likely to be done, politically and
generally. 1t may help Tillman and Car
mack. but it will be heavy burden to
the democrats in the states where real
elections are held and work must be done
to carry districts.

other citizens interested in
the litigation to appear before
Judge Bum at Madison, and

Events have travelled thick
and fast in the Washburn,
Bayfield, & Iron River rail
road matter, but as matters
now stand everything is very
satisfactory to the represen-
tatives of the county, who be
lieve they will finally win out
on every point.
Last Thursday there was a
good deal of excitement
throughout the county when
a message was received from
Madison saying that Judge
jenkins, in the federal court,
had found eight of our citi-
zens guilty of contempt of
Court, and had sentenced Dis

The supreme court listened to
the arguments of the attor-
neys and gave the attorneys
for Receiver Frost until Mon
day in which to file a brief.

be settled BY the decision
whether the state has a right

a defence along the same line,
claiming state rights, but

for a brief time they were
up against a proposition. =
They realized that it would be
rather a dangerous thing for
them to attempt an action in
the circuit court, or any other
state court, as they were liable
to be hauled up for contempt,
but the road must be saved If
possible, SO they voluntarily
faced jail, and prepared their
order which they asked Judge
Parish to sign. The latter
looked into matters, and evil
IDENTIFY believed that it was
his duty to his circuit and to
this county to sign the order,
and accordingly affixed his
signature to it. He cited the
receiver, Mr.. Fros5, to APP
pear before the circuit court
at Medford, but Mr.. Frost
ignored the order, and at
tempted to pull up the road,
with the result that General
Manager Clark and thirty
seven Workmen we're placed

United States Marshal and
Mr.. Frost came to this city,
and made another attempt to

Messrs. D. NJ. Maxcy, M. A..
Sprague, John A. Jacobs, w.
Fl. Lemke, Captain r. d. Pike
and Carl Hirsch to each pay
a fine Of $3.50. It seemed al
most incredible to the people
here that such should have
been the result Of the case
wherein the citizens and off
GERS had attempted to prevent
by an action in the circuit
court, the tearing up Of what
is known here as the ssBattle
Axe" railroad. But the re-
port was confirmed little
later, and people have been
wondering ever since how it
all could have happened, and
this article will attempt to
show how such a thing was
possible.
After being sentenced the
defendants secured a stay Of
proceedings for ten days
pending an appeal to the
Court Of Appeals, which will
sit in Chicago. The case will
come before the court in the
near future, and ia the mean

UeotilIlg up Inc ROAD Tor seven
days, and that the matter be
heard before the federal
court. Judge Jenkins con-
suited with Judge Bum and
the order was granted, and
the hearing will come up next
Saturday. When this order
was secured the attorneys for
the county had secured what
they had attempted to get
from the start, and that was
to show to the federal court
that Judge Bum had no juris-
diction to order the destruc
ton Of the road. Mr.. Mcleod
and his associates were finally
in court as they wished to be,
but the process was a long and
eVentful one, AND II was al
most like breaking in with a
pick axe and a Jimmy. But
though misfortune befell them
more or less, il can now be said
that the case lis up on it's mer-
it's, and the county and state
are in a position to get what
they want to before the feder-
al and state courts, and since
they can do this theyfeel quite
positive that they will ulti-
mately succeed in all they
have undertaken.
Attorney General Hicks is Of
fering every assistance to the
county, and is thoroughly worked
lap over the matter. He proposes
to do every possible thing to pre-
vent the tearing up of the line
and will use all the power and
authority Of the state to protect
the interests of the people in
this matter.
Battle Axe matters are now
before the federal Court, where
the hearing on the states rights
will cone up before Judge Bunr
on Saturday. Before the su-
preme court the action brought
to protect the states rights will
likely be decided on Tuesday,
while the court of appeals will
pass upon the contempt cases at
some later period. The criminal
proceedings before the munich
pal court Of this city are set for a
hearing Jan. 30. In addition. to
all this litigation a gres & many
civil suits are threatened. Re-
ceiver Frost, if he fails to tear up
the railroad, promises suits for
damage, etc, and he, also will be
particularly fortunate, if he does
not find himself defendant in
some unpleasant matters.
The basis of the actions is the
contention Of Bayfield, county,
| its attorneys, and the state by
It's attorney general, that the
federal courts have exceeded
their jurisdiction. That may be
properly said to be the whole
contention in the case. If the
supreme court upholds the com
plainants the victory is practical

Expectancy that the. supreme
court will see the matter in the

 The Congregational church was deco rated in a tasteful manner, and large, old fashioned windmill was the center of attraction. Old Santa came in, and with the help of the children, raised the wind to turn the wheel which ground out a nice assortment of pres ents. The exercises were enjoyed by all.
