ford Men Being Considered.

New York, March 31.-The board of
directors of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford Railroad held another
meeting, today, to discuss the PROPOSE
ton of the strikers regarding wages.
The question of the hour schedules was
not touched upon. President Hall and
some of the directors said they consid-
cred this matter as practically settled
with the 11-hour schedules.
The meeting was delayed some time
pending the arrival of J. P. Morgan
and VIM. Rockefeller. 1t was an
nounced that nothing would be made
public after the meeting, as nothing
could be definitely decided, today.
At the close of the meeting President
Hall only would say that the moderated
wage schedule had been the one thing
under discussion. The company'S Off
Gals will meet the representatives of
the men at New Haven, tomorrow
morning.
New Haven, Ct, March 31.-The
members of the trainmen's grievance
committee of employees of the N. Y, N.
H. & H. Railroad Co. declined, tonight,
to make any comment on the situation,
stating that the entire matter is in sus-
pense until they receive notice from
President Hall and the board of direct
ors of the decision upon their demand
for an increase in wages. They did
not expect to learn the company's de-
cision until tomorrow morning at the
hour agreed upon for the conference,
which it is expected will be decisive one
way or the other.
President Hall returned, this evening,
but declined to give any statement,
stating that courtesy to the men re-
quired that they shall first be notified.

The Bible was not divided into chap
tiers, as 1t is now, until the thirteenth
century. Early Hebrew Bibles were
marked into sections and verses by
means of accents, which served as
marks to be observed in the eastern
manner of reading. The work of di-
viding the Bible into chapters has been
attributed by some TO Stephen Lang
ton. The division into verses was made
by a printer of the name of Robert
Stephens In 154S and was adopted
throughout all editions.

fidence. don't think they can pinch
the lumber business, which is the main

As it Works in Wausau

The Board of Review, which has been
in session this month, finds that one of
the governors pet schemes, that looked
so nice on paper, tends to operate just
the reverse of the way it was intended.
This year there will be loss of about
100000 from the tax rolls of year
ago, just through the workings of the
mortgage taxation law and the in
creased number of exemptions of diff
ferent classes of property. The officials
not having completed their work, it is
impossible at this time TO give exact
figures, but with the ratio determined
by a comparison of the figures that are
at hand, with the roll of last year, a
fair estimate can be made. Through
out Marathon county conditions are
the same The operation of this law
removes from the personal tax list a
vast amount of property-an amount it
is thought that will nearly equal the
total mortgage assessment of last year
which was about 81, 10000. At present
the tax rate for Marathon county is
SO271, which will have to be greatly in
creased next year to raise the necessary
taxes. 1t does not matter what amount
of property is made exempt from taxa
ton through the passage of certain
laws, there must be so much money
raised to meet the expenses OF
government-paying salaries of game
wardens, etc. If money lender crawls
out of paying proportionate amount
of taxes, and a poor man finds he has
to pay more, through the raising of the
tax rate, who is benefited by such a
measure Certainly not the latter
class Marathon county is fortunate
as regards the working of this law, for
we have but few mortgages, compared
with the older counties of the state. II
is early yet, but with the adjournment
of boards of review in the different
cities there comes a wall of protest,
the reverberation of which will be
heard in thunder tones year hence.

The Cleveland Boom.

Twenty-Five, or even fifteen years ago,
such q political movement as the pres
ent Cleveland boom" appears to be
would have seemed quite harmless
little thing, to the average citizen. But
we no longer do things in the political
held, as they were wont to be done q
few years ago. A "Class" of men who
have arrogated to themselves the title
of 1.-THE business men of the nation, :"
has dictated who our president shall be,
for sometime past, and they do not run
things with display type, mass meet
ings, brass bands, flags, or fire works.
They know more effectual way.
They are, many of them, not honestly
entitled to be called business men, I"
seeing that they have grown enor-
mously wealthy by ''stock gambling"
railroad wrecking," Squeezing" the
exploitation of watered stocks, and
other illegitimate methods of acquiring
wealth. They are not honestly entitled
to call themselves democrats or republi-
cans, although some of them have
worked with one and some with the
other ofthese parties in the past for they
have really no political creed, and only
make use of political machinery to fur
Their their own business" schemes. The
chief center and seat of power of these
men is New York City. But they have
numerous allies in all the large cities
of this country. Members of the class
Just mentioned are responsible for the
present Cleveland BOOM" That be-
ing the case it is necessarily a very
strong movement, if this class which
has arrogated to itself the title of The
business men of the nation" viii unite
in putting MIR Cleveland forward, as a
candidate.
Win these self-styled business men
of the nation" unite upon Mr.. Cleve-
land If they do, how is it possible to

would lose hundreds of thousands o.

THE Milwaukee Journal quotes Neal
Brown, of this city, as follows on the
anti-movements in the democratic
party:
meal Brown, who is a member of
the committee on resolutions in con-
nection with the Democratic meeting
in Chicago today, states that as he
understands it the committee will not
meet for several days, perhaps weeks,
to formulate its report. so far as /

cratic party.

to reOrganize is to reorganize. We

the most disastrous days known on
Wall street since May 9th, 1891. De-
moralization is said to have ruled in the

that corporate Iborrowring's seemed
