AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN CONTRAST.
One can not find sharper contrast Of
the two civilizations than by going almost
directly north two or three miles from
the barracks at Juarez to where the Unit
ed States has two or three companies sta
toned at Fort Bliss. The contrast is
even greater than between the well-built
brick houses with verdant grass plots at
El Paso and the squalid adobes, with their
surroundings of bleaching gravel In
Juarez.
Fort Bliss i or the mesa. two or three
hundred feet above the valley of the Rio
Grande. and as one approaches it and
sees 1t shimmering under the relentless
rays Of the sun, there is feeling of SYM
pathy with the soldiers whose tour of
duty brings them to these spots of cheer
less aridity.. But as I come into the
ground Of the reservation the sympathy
vanishes, for it is far from being us COM
fortress spot as it looked ut a little dis
lance. The ground it is true is hard, hot
and dry, with only scanty trees, and vege-
tation maintained by such irrigation as
can be furnished by windmills and pumps.
But though the thermometer is close to
100 and not cloud in the sky, it does
not feel excessively warm, for q strong
breeze is constantly blowing.
The houses are set up from the ground,
with considerable shade and fresh green
grass all around them. The wide porches
are very cool and inviting in the shade,
and one has only to move as the sun does
to keep constantly in the shade, and be
far more comfortable than one would be
on Summers day in the atmosphere Of
lower attitudes.
1t is astonishing what comfort there
can be found in = very little patch of shade
in this region. Ali that one needs is
that will break the direct rays
Of the sun-the shade Of few boards, or

half of his title-he was created Duke
Of Gordon in January. 1S76-he was
sent to this country as president of the

America and no desire for any terri
tory there by Germany. The Gov
eminent and the people of Germany
are very anxious to cultivate the
most friendly relations with the
United States.
1t is noticeable that the influence
of these lingo papers in arousing
enmity towards Germany was so
small as to be altogether impercept-
IDLE. The people of the United
States are just as anxious to keep on
friendly terms with Germany as the
people of that country are to keep
on terms of amity with this. The
man who would stir up strife be-
tween us and our good friends over
the sea, England and Germany, is
an enemy to his country and his kin.

At the coming election a constitu-
tional amendment is submitted to a
vote of the people. The proposed
amendment provides for two addi-
tional members of the supreme court.
Wisconsin has a smaller number of
judges of the appellate court than
many of the states that have less
number of inhabitants and the work
of the supreme court of the state is
much in arrears. This proposed
amendment, increasing the number
of members of the supreme court
from five to seven, passed the legis-
lature of 1901 without opposition
and the Legislature of 1903 without a
dissenting vote. The proposed law
providing for these additional judges
should be ratified, for the extra force
is needed.
