Let Chauyenet Go.

Stratton has resigned as mem
Der of the board of trustees of the
School Of Mines. He does not
like the stand the trustees have
taken. He looks upon the young
men at the school as a pack of
hayward youngsters who need
discipline more than instruction.
He inumates that when they get
out INTO the world they will always
be on the strikers side instead of
looking after the interests of their
employers Mr.. Stratton never
had any qualifications for the
office of trustee and only for his
money was he appointed. What
the world demands of the coming
generation is meu of brains and
Independent action and not seryie
tools of anybody aud we admire
the spirit manifested by the young
men at the school.
Let Chauvenet 20 if he wants
to. ale is not the only pebble on
the beach"

Under the bill, as it has been
sent to the senate producing mines
will be assessed on the full amount
of their net proceeds which will
practically be the smcltcr returns.
Producers are defined Us mines
with smcltcr returns of -, 900 or
more, Non-productvc claims
will be valued at not more than 80
per cent of the net proceeds of the
smallest producers in the country.
Thus the assessor may assess non
producing claims at 800 or $3.50
per acre. Of'coursc. if the ground
Is without established value, hc
will place the valuation at smaller
figures. and in some cases at 70
nominal amount.
1t is probable the senate may
make some amendment To tins
feature of the bill.

of her life, may think that for such as
she there is special need of any period
of self-denial. She is good enough as
she is.
People make pilgrimages to the city

There is now pleasure for those who

true that on free days there are many

have equaled them no words can equal
them. They teen with the life and the
death of the battle field and show up all
| that is hideous and wrong In war. But
| If those same people have looked at the
pictures and tried to understand their
meaning, it is not probable that any
words concerning their power would be
considered too strong. One woman was
heard to say on coming out of the gal
lery, Il don't see why any one should
paint such pictures. There was nothing
| pleasant about them and they almost
made me sick Nothing pleasant about
| them And so a harping little critic
would dispose of the work which
good heart, clear head and skilled
hand had produced. Not pleasant In
deed Well. there are many things
which are not pleasant. Rebuke is usu-
ally not sought for, and medicine is sim
| gularuly unattractive. The Verstcha-
! gin pictures combine rebuke and medi-
cine. Mans heartlessness to man is
swallowed up In the more dangerous
nations heartlessness towards nation.
Not pleasant! Well. possibly not. "A
yard of roses" would probably suit the
critic better. Roses are very good, and
it would be a little soul who could not
love and long for them. But the world,
while it contains roses, contains many
other things besides, and he who paints
nothing but roses day after day, does
not paint the world as 1t Is or as 1t
should be. Yet perhaps the little critic
was not altogether just after all. What
is there more pleasant to see than hui
man sympathy, the broad love which
takes in and cares for not kindred or
friends alone, but every human being
in need of sympathy and love? 1t is
that spirit which makes Verestchagin's
pictures truly remarkable. Not from
the love of the horrible does he paint
those sometimes grewsome scenes, but
for the love of the human. And when
such love actuates genius, much that is
crude and unpleasant can be over
looked.

COMING TO IOWA.

Preparations have been in progress
for some time past looking to the es-
Establishment of settlement of Hol-
landers in this county. Some lo,0oo
acres of land in Huron township have
been purchased by Peoria firm Tor
Hollanders from different sections OF
Illinois. 1t is understood that the
transfers of the property will be filed

About 100 families will settle upon

THE DANISH ISLANDS.

While there has been an agreement
between the United States and Den
mark for the sale of the Danish west
India islands, 1T is stated that the Dan
ish government will not take plebis-
cite or vote of the islanders 10 see
whether they will consent to sale to
our government until the United States
senate shall satisfy the treaty OF ces-
sion. This circumspection is supposed
to be the outcome of the senate's action
In rejecting former treaty of cession
inter Denmark had accustomed the
islanders to the idea of a transfer. All
adyices indicate that the islanders are
willing to become subjects of the
United States.
The question of the expectancy OF
buying the islands will be brought out
when the senate is called upon to ratify
the treaty and the house is asked to APP
propriate mooney for the purchase. Den
mark is anxious to sell the group, and
as they are considered TO be worth the
money 5,0o0, oOO), and as one of them
St Thomas, has an excellent land
locked harbor, suitable for the shelter
ing OF a navy, it may be deemed expe-
Gient to buy them rather than to run
the hazard of permitting the islands to
become the possession of foreign
rower, and all that is implied in such
menace.
These islands lie Immediately east OF
Porto Rico and form a sort of outer
guard to the West Indies. They We're
prosperous years ago. but latterly they
have declined In population and In pro-
ductive capacity. The islanders believe
that by becoming part of Uncle Sans
dominion, and by securing free trade
with the United States, they will pros
per again.
If plebiscite is permitted and the
Islanders vote to come in, as they
doubtless will, the anti-imperialists viii

against absorbing foreign territory.

solve in part the question of disposing
of surplus, will prevent an accumula-
ton in the national treasury that is a
menace to business interests in that 1T
often causes depletion of ready funds,
and it ought to lead to circumspection
in granting large appropriations.
1t Is stated from Washington, how
ever. that il this plan is adopted it Will
lmean that tehre will be no concessions
to Cuba on her products brought into
| the United States, on the ground that
there are close relations between these
questions, as in the event of looping off
the war taxes the treasury will need to
| hold to such important revenue produce
| ing importations as sugar and tobacco.
| 1t would seem to be much better TO
| hold on to the tax on beer and several
other articles of luxury, possibly, and
grant the tariff concessions to Cuba on
which President Roosevelt and Others
of the administration are bent, than to
| sweep them OF at one DiOW. II Is pro-
posed to reduce the tax on beer to 81 a
barrel. This is the amount of the tax
on beer which prevailed before the
Spanish war The tax of 10 cents 8
pound on tea will also be removed
These are the two principal revenue
producing items that remain of the wal
| act Modification or reduction of these
would be more in the interest of the
people than entire repeal. The tax or
bankers and other business interests
not regarded among the luxuries, ma.
well be abolished.
| The movement to strike off these wal
taxes will without question be in har-
mony with public sentiment, but it vii
put another tax on the brains of demo-
cratic leaders in their efforts to find al
issue. for they have made no secret OF
their intention to create political CAPT.
tai out of what they assumed to be the
unwillingness of the dominant party t.
touch the war taxes. They will have
another guess coming in seeking pos
sible issue.
