GEN. CoRBIN expresses great praise
for the cavalry arm of the German mill
tary system The German horses, he
thinks, are better than ours, which may
be true. Germany takes military mat
tiers much more serious than we do. 1t
takes pains to breed horses expressly for
the army. That is farther than the
United States has gone vet. Foreign ex-
perts, however, including Gen. Wolseley,
have often said that the United States
has the most effective army in the world
for its size The United States believes
this. But in army matters as in other
things, the stationary condition should
be avoided. Improvement should be in
sisted on rightly in all branches of the
army as we'll as in the navy.

The Milwaukee Free Press is worried
by the common impression that Senator
Spooner and Quarles will discuss chief
national topics exclusively. 1t seems to
think that Notwithstanding Governor
La Follettes shabby treatment, they
should perspire in behalf of his personal
cause. Perhaps it is a stand off. Not
withstanding their eloquent reference to
foreign trade and the big canal, likely
enough some emery cuss in the audience
will want to know about the Kronshage
matter 1t would be just as we'll this
fall to let spell binders talk about what
they please. The chances are that the
field of discussion will be suggested by
the whiskered gentry on the back seats.

Gov. LAFoLLETrE opened the repub-
lican campaign in Milwaukee Tuesday
evening with one of the great speeches
he is competent to deliver. The issues
were discussed at length but with more
moderation than usually characterize
his utterances. AS was expected the
primary election hobby is the paramount
topic and received the most attention,
though other state issues receive atten-
ton. That the governor has set good
lively pace is generally admitted.

So FAR as the English government h

So FAR as the English government has
published the accounts. the Boer war
has cost that country Sl,l40000 which
is more than the interest paying debt OF
the United States. 1t is three times as
much as the cost of the Crimean war,
and yet the people have borne the nflic-
ton almost without murmur, while the
credit of the nation has not been i'm
paired in the slightest degree. No
other country in the world, save only the
United States, could have undergone
such u strain on it's financial aud mater
ial resources without having been nearly
or altogether ruined.

Mr.. J.. E. GETTLE, of Edgerton, has sat
as delegate in all five county Republi-

a nominating speech in the second Dane

In no respect is the success OF Amerl-
can business methods more clearly shown
than in railway management. The rail-
ways of the United States are better
equipped, better differed, and have bet
ter financial direction than those Of Eng
land or the continent of Europe. Wheth
err passenger or freight traffic be consid
cred, there is scarcely room to question
the advantage on the American side OF
the account
The passenger trains in the United
States are more luxurious than those
abroad. The former are better equipped
at all points than the latter. The cars
are heavier, the locomotives are more
powerful, the roadbeds on the principal
lines are in better condition, and for Or
binary trains the time is faster. For
long, continuous runs there are no quick
er trains abroad than in this country.
The American freight cars carry from.
three to ten times the load of the foreign
goods" car. American freight SEIZED
ules are more regularly kept and rates
are much lower. Locomotives are far
more powerful for all kinds of traffic liz
this country than on the other side of
the ocean.
These reflections are suggested and
stimulated in part by the late annual re-
port of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway. That great system dur
ing the last fiscal year spent above six
million dollars in betterments. 1t had
an increase of three and one quarter
million dollars in gross earnings and over
one million dollars in net earnings. The
dividend rate on common stock was ad
vanced from 6 to per cent. The enor-
nous gross earnings of S45,OOO,OOO may
we'll, as the late President Kruger said,
"stagger humanity at least that
part of it which is engaged in railroading
abroad.
More gratifying than all else is the
fact that the st. Paul road, like all its
principal competitors is giving eminent
satisfaction to the people who use it. Its
passenger accommodations are as nearly
perfect as human ingenuity and expert
ence at this stage of the worlds progress
know how to make them. It's provisions
for freight, although partly outgrown by
pressure of business are on generous
scale; it's rates. comparatively speaking,
are low, and its efforts to increase and
extend the service in every direction are
unremitting.
What is true of the St. Paul is equally
true of the other great trunk lines, and
especially of those west of Chicago. No
body grudges them their prosperity, nor
wishes to see it interrupted or dimin
ished. The property of the railroad to
considerable extent is bound up with
that of the whole people, and neither one
can advance or retrograde seriously with
out carrying the other in the same direc-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

with their fishing tackle intending to
pass the forenoon fishing. They landed
at the boom at Elliott's slough, and the
girls proceeded to fish from the logs.

in the water. Louise, in trying to help
her friend, also fell in, and the two un-
fortunate young girls disappeared in the
