Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies thenortherR
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count of exorbitaDt land prices.
1t is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, good roads
and other improvements are go
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented bypush and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity TO the
settler and the manufacturer,
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro.

If the editor makes a mistake
he has to apologize for 1t, but if
a doctor makes a mistake he bur
les it. If we make one there is a
law suit, tall swearing and a
smell of sulpher, but ifthe doctor
makes one there is a funeral, cut
flowers and the smell Of varnish
The doctor can use a word a
foot long but if the editor wants
to use it he has to spell it. If the
doctor calls to see another mans
wife he will charge the man for
the visit. IF the editor calls to see
another mans wife he gets a
charge Of buckshot. Any med1-
cal college can make a doctor.
You can't make an editor. He
has to be born one. When the
doctor gets drunk it's a case OF
overcome by the heat and if he
dies it is a case of heart failure.
When the editor gets drunk it is
too much booze and if he dies it
is a case of delirium tremers.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-06-20

The extent and seriousness of the
riot in Paterson, N. j., on Wednesday
seems to have been due TO the timidity
of the authorities. Had they taken
hold of the disturbance in its incipi-
ency and dealt with it firmly, the
chances are that it would have been
quickly crushed. But. under the lead
ership of an Italian of the name of
Galleano and several anarchists, the
mob was permitted to gain such head
way that il swept everything before
it, The trouble, indeed, seems to have
ship, and several we'll known anarch-
lists openly threatened that the life
of a policeman would pay for each
wounded rioter 1t is insufferable that
these enemies of law and order should
be permitted to terrorize and dominate
an important American city, and de-
moralize its industries. The Mayor, 1t
appears, has at last plucked up cour-
age enough to tell the police to shoot.
He ought to order out the military if
necessary and instruct them to shoot,
and shoot straight. Paterson has long
been a hot-bed of anarchy. More than
one assassination has been traced to
the groups of that city. The anarch-
lists ought to be given a lesson, a Sc
we're one and one that they will never
forget The time seems to be ripe for
administering the lesson at Paterson.

PROGRESS OF THE CoAL STRIKE.

That the anthracite coal strikers are
very much in earnest is shown by the
action of Mr.. Mitchell. the president
of the United Mine Workers. in calling
a conference of all the union coal min
ers to meet at Indianapolis on July II,
to take into consideration the advisa-
bility of calling out all coal miners in
the country. This of course means
miners of soft as well as of hard coal.
1t is estimated that there are approx
imately 100000 miners of coal in the
United States. OF this number about
$50, 900 are members of the United Mine
Workers Union. If a strike should
be ordered all of the union men would
doubtless obey it, and President Mitch
ell expresses the opinion that at least
so 900 of the non-union miners would
strike out of sympathy with the union
men. It is evident that the remaining
50,O 900 could not begin to supply the
demand for coal, and it is a question
if the strikers would permit them to
continue work.
The fact that the date of the meet
indicate that the strikers hope for a
settlement before the date of the con-
ference. They understand Of course
that the step they contemplate taking
is a very serious one, and they are
averse to taking it hastily. The cut
ting off of the supply of fuel would
mean the stopping of majority of the
hA
ing out of work of hundreds of thou
sands of toilers who have no connec-
ton whatever with the grievances of
the coal miners. 1t was stated
few days ago on the authority of some
one who had investigated the matter,
that in Cincinnati the great majority
| of the people were always within three
| days of starvation-that is. if their
wages We're stopped for three
| days they would not have the means
with which to buy bread. 1t is proba-
| BILE that the same condition of affairs
exists in all of the cities. This being
| the case, it can readily be seen what
| the stopping of ali of the industries of
| the country would mean. There would
be starving thousands IN all of our
| cities.
1t doesn't look as if the coal onera-
| tors have any intention to make con-
cessions to the strikers, and the strik-
ers seem to be determined to employ
every means in their power to win the
strike. Such being the case we may
have troublous times before the sum-
| n1er is over.

TIE PANAMA RourE SELECTED.

The adoption by the Senate Of the
Spooner amendment to the Hepburn
isthmian canal bill means that there
will be no isthmian canal bill passed
at this session of Congress, and per-
haps not by this Congress. 1t is a
pretty safe assertion that the vote in
favor of the Spooner amendment was
made up of those who honestly believe
the Panama route the better one and
those who are against all canal legis-
lation.
AS the matter now stands the House
is committed to the Nicaragua route.
1t having passed the Hepburn bill.
which authorizes the construction of
canal on the Nicaragua route, and
the Senate is committed to the Pana-
ma route. But because the House vot-
ed for the Nicaragua route it doesn't
follow that it prefers that route. When
the House passed the Hepburn bill the
Panama Canal Company had not sig
nified its willingness to accept for its
property the amount at which the 18TH
milan Canal Commission appraised it.
1t was after the House passed the
Hepburn bill that the Panama Canal
Company concluded that If it wanted
to get rid of it's property it would
have to accept the Isthmian Canal
Commissions valuation.
Besides, when the House voted in
favor of the Hepburn bill the report
nf
was in favor of the Nicaraguan route,
not because it thought that route the
better, but because of the enormous
valuation which the Panama Canal
Company placed upon its property-the
amount being considerably over $780,
100000. The Commissions estimate of
its value is about $40 100000.
1t does not seem to us that the canal
is much nearer being built than it was
at the beginning of the present SEES
SIGN. 1t is probable that the House will
accept the Panama route, but before
1t does so it will insist upon a very
thorough understanding with the Pan
anna Canal Company, with the French
government and with the government
of Colombia. To arrive at this under
standing will take time, and a great
deal of it. No doubt the opponents of
a canal will throw all of the obstacles
possible in the way of a satisfactory
settlement of the many questions that
are certain to arise.
Senator spooner, in his speech in
favor of the Panama route, said that
Senator Morgan would be known as
the father of the canal. That and
other compliments were paid to the
venerable Alabama Senator in the
course of the debate as a recognition
of the earnestness and persistence
with which he has worked for an 18TH
milan canal. but it is doubtful II he
will live to see the American govern
ment begin work on a canal on either
the Nicaragua or the Panama route.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-06-20
A PROMISE NOT KEPT.

Nothing that was said by Mr.. Rich
ardson, the leader of the minority of
the House, in his admirable summing
up on Wednesday of the shortcomings
of the Republican party, irritated the
Republicans more than his statement
that the promise of reasonable trade
concessions to Cuba had not been kept
by the party in power. The President
and his friends are exceedingly sore
over the failure of the Senate to agree
upon some measure of relief for Cuba.
Relying upon the promise of the Re-
publican party Cuba has been waiting
patiently for the expected commercial
concessions that would open the way
to prosperity for her. Her sugar plant
ers have been holding their sugar at
a great sacrifice, confidently believing
that our tariff on Cuban sugar would
be so reduced that they could find a
market in this country for their pro-
duct that would save them from bank
ruptcy.
What irritates the President and
those of the leaders of his party who
have been standing by him in this mat
ter is that the promise to Cuba has
not been kept and will not be, because
of the opposition in the ranks of their
own party. At the beginning of the
present session of Congress the Presi-
dent had no doubt that one of the first
things Congress would do would be to
reduce the tariff on Cuban imports.
In his annual message he strongly
urged such a reduction, and only a few
days ago he sent a special message to
Congress on the subject. Neither mes
sage had any effect. The President
what the people expect it to be. Sena-
tor Aldrich, the Republican leader of
the Senate, has suffered loss of pres
tige. He undertook to put through the
bill which provides for relief for Cuba,
and he failed. Those of the Republican
senators who are jealous of him as a
leader or who dislike him because of
the power he exercises are openly re-
joicing at his discontinue. 1t is sus-
pected that some of the senators who
are among the IS Republicans who were
instrumental in defeating the plan to
aid Cuba were influenced in their
course in this matter more by their
hostility to him than by their interest
in beet sugar.
So we have the administration de-
feated, a promise made by the Repub-
ican party unfulfilled and a break in
the harmony of the Republican sena-
tors exposed as the result of the eff
forts to extend a helping hand to Cuba.
1t is evident that everything within
the Republican lines is not running
smoothly.

Trouser. versus Mail Sack.

He had been a brakeman on the
c. N Railroad, but owing to
injuries received in the service he had
been given a small place on the line
of the road, says Harper's Magazine.
His entire wardrobe consisted of one
suit of clothes, and he was patiently
awaiting the next payday to get the
wherewithal to purchase another.
The fast mail and express, which
was due at midnight, was reported
four hours late, so he thought he could
get in a pretty fair nights rest by
setting his alarm clock about an hour
ahead of the time when the train was
likely to come as he needed little time
to perform the only duty required of
him, viz, to see that the sack of mail
was properly hooked to the crane,
so that the extending arm of the fast
mail car would surely catch it as the
train went by.
The alarm clock, of course, upon this
awakened by the shrieking of the
whistle of the locomotive as it warned
the station for the coming of the train.
He jumped for the sack and his trous-
ers, grabbed both, rushed out on the
platform, made an accurate throw and
whiz! away sped the train. He
turned to pick up his trousers, when
he found that he had thrown them on
the crane and they had gone in place
of the mail. AS to whether or not he
dressed in the mail sack-But enough

The breach between Senators Bev-

While addressing the Senate day
or two ago Mr.. Bailey of Texas said:
Indian agents may be divided into
two classes-the smart and the good
The trouble is that the good agents
are never smart and the smart agents
are never good" Another clever remark
Is this by Senator Blackburn: 1.-The
position of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections in regard to
the bill for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people reminds me
of the man in Kentucky who got mired
while driving an empty wagon down a
hill. He couldn't unload and he
couldn't back up"
