1.-THE Milwaukee bankers have gener-
ously advanced 500, 900 for the purchase
of coal to be sold at cost to the city's
poor The coal barons we fear are
laundering in their connivance with
unfortunate conditions and extortiOn
when municipalities are forced to resort
to such extremity to prevent actual
suffering. The people may come to
regard Il as legitimate function of
government to provide for their ma.
terial wants. Socialism and anarchy
never thrive better than under existing
conditions as respects the present fuel
situation. The present conditions will
long serve the agitators as forceful
and seductive argument among the
ignorant and unthinking in support of
their wild theories or as warrant for
disrespect of law and the rights of
property Extortion is unquestionably
overreaching itself at present, and to
its own sorrow as will appear later

JOHN G. SPOONER was again chosen
by the republicans for q. S. Senator
The caucus for the purpose of consid-
ering the matt was held 10 the capitol
at Madison. Oh Wednesday evening.
There was only one vote cast against
Spooner and that vote was cast by
David Evans. Jr for Judge Webb, of
Grand Rapids. The fact that the vote
was practically unanimous for Spooner,
shows that there was no opposition TO
him, and although the stalwarts made
a great hue and cry that LaFollette
had knife up his sleeve for Spooner,
il proved to be a case of sheer fright,
bordering on nervous prostrati0n.
Spooner may thank his stars that La
Toilette was generous enough to let
him have the election; had he willed
otherwise-well, all know what would
have happened.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Official FIGURE.

The government statisticians have
figured up the agricultural results
for the past year, and are out with q
report in which Minnesota appears
very prominently. The state holds its
old position of pre-eminence in wheat,
having produced 79,752,404 bushels
from an area of 5,737,5s3 acres, the
yield per acre averaging 1879. At Gle
per bushel, which is the average price,
the government figures that farmers
received for their wheat, the crop
brought $4S,64S,966 to the state.
North Dakota is next to Minnesota in
the production of spring wheat, show
Ing 62,S72,241 bushels raised from
B,954,229 acres, having value OF $780,
t65,900. Next in spring wheat is
South Dakota with 1927, ,033 bushels,
taken from 3,6O4,347 acres, and bring
ing to the state $25,064,629. In max
ing these estimates the government
uses Gle as an average price for Min
nesota, 58c for North Dakota, and SIC
for South Dakota.
Minnesota with 667,5O0 acres plant
ed to fax and yield of 6,942, 200 bush
els shows up well, but it is North
Dakota that takes the palm. The
farmers of North Dakota planted O.
100000 acres, the largest area ever de-
voted to fax, and from this immense
area have taken about 25,0O0,0O0 bush
els.

OPPOSED TO CASTRO.
Gen. Matos Back of the Big Revolu.
ton in Venezuela.
Nas Expended $2,OOO,OOO of His Pri-
vate Fortune In Attempts to
Overthrow the Present Cor
rupt Reconsideration.

Gen. Manuel Antonio Matos, lead
er of the Venezuelan revolution, is the
weathiest and one of the most promi-
nent men in that country. He is esti-
mated to have been worth $6,OOO,OOO
at the outbreak of the war and to have
expended at least $2,000,000 for the
revolutionary cause, paying his SOL
diers, who at one time numbered TO-
boo, out of his own pocket.
He has twice been called into the
cabinet to meet financial crises-once
under President Crespo and again un-
der President Andrade. He has al
ways been opposed to the Castro ad-
ministration, declaring it to be cor
rupt. He is related by marriage to
the Guzman Blanco family, and the
superior of President Castro by birth.
Although essentially civic leader,
he had some experience in the army,
under President Blanco. AT that time
he was said to have made large sums
out of contracts. He conducted a
large commission house in Caracas
and had branches in New York and
in various European cities.
He also owned stock in the Bank OF
Venezuela and the Bank of Caracas.
Much of his wealth is invested in CO.
Goa and coffee plantations.
The revolutionary movement which
he has headed, says the New York
Herald, was the result of the avowed
belief of a group of prominent Ven
ezuelans that President Castro's ad-
ministration was corrupt, was involv-
ing the country in dangerous difficult
ties and leading it to ruin. The rev.
olution began with desultory fighting
and Gen. Matos went to Martinique.
This was year ago, and at Fort
de France he gathered about him a
hundred eager leaders and 300 re-
cruits. Gen. Luciano Mendoza COM
manded the troops in the field, and
Gen. Matos did not at once avow the
leadership of the movement. Stores,

The early life of Mr.. Richards, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel, is reminiscent
of the struggles of the American pio-
neers who opened up the great west.
At the age of II he was teaching a
country school in Wisconsin. A few
years after the war the pioneer spirit
which he inherited from his father i'm
PEELED him to go westward. From that
time until he finally settled in Wyom-
ing, where the highest state honors
were conferred upon him, his life is full
of interest He left Wisconsin in 1869
to seek his fortunes in the boundless
west. He was at a loss as to where he
ought to locate, and remained in this
uncertain frame of mind for years.
During that time his travels took him
as far west as the Golden Gate, to the
Mexican border on the south, and as
far north as the boundary separating
the United States from the British pos
sessions. He studied law in Omaha,
and edited a paper there; he was in
charge of vast herds of cattle in Wy
oming when the buffalo covered the
plains and the red man roamed at
will. He went to California in 1879,
and after brief residence there was
elected surveyor of Santa Clara coun-
ty. Later he went to Colorado, and
again actively entered into politics, be-
ing elected surveyor of Ell Paso coun-
ty, and city engineer of Colorado
Springs. He afterwards returned to
Wyoming, and became governor, and at
the breaking out of the Spanish war
was the first chief executive of state
to wire President Mckinley that his
troops were mustered, fully equipped,
and ready for action. Finally, later in
the Mckinley administration Gov.
Richards came to Washington as as
sistant commissioner of the general
land office. 1t is an interesting fact
that three of the men called by Presi-
dent Mckinley to take responsible po-
sitions in the ordepartments spent
their boyhood days in southwestern
Wisconsin, within a radius of ten miles
of one another. One of them is Gov.
Richards, another H. Clay Evans, for
mer commissioner of pensions, now
consul general. to London, and the
third William A. Jones, commissioner
of Indian affairs.

rifles and ammunition were brought
to Fort de France on board the Brit
ish steamship Ban Righ, which was re-
christened the Libertador.
On January 2, 1902, the expedition
slipped away at night. President Cas-
tro declared the vessel a pirate craft,
and offered $4,000 reward for its cap
ture. The entire Venezuelan navy
was sent to hunt for it, but despite
these precautions the expedition land
ed near Barcelona two days later. The
expedition included $50 men, Gems.
Penaloza, Duchame, Nicholas, Kolando
and Nieves Navarro. The ship was
armed with rapid-fire guns and COW
cred with steel plates.
In a proclamation which Gen. Matos
issued just before sailing from Fort
de France he called upo-l all of his
countrymen for assistance.
"Our country is moaning and per-
ishing," he said. "Our primary object
is to remove one man from his public
post, in which he has committed every
error and every excess, and who has
compromised, not only Venezuela S
good name, but even her national in
tegrity."
After several small battles had been
fought, Gen Matos left the scene and
cruised for time on the Libeselador,
touching at various points along the
coast, where the revolutionists were
in control. He landed in Trinidad in
March, to be at a cable center, from
which he might direct his forces. The
fighting at this time became heavy
and losses and defeat were reported
for both sides.
In June Gen. Matos issued procla-
nation in which ne announced pro-
visional government, with himself as
president.
Don Pedro Ezequiel Rojas, former
minister of foreign affairs, was made
foreign representative. The army
under the command of Gen. Pedro
Duchaine and Gen. Valenlis Perez, ii
was announced, would assume control
of Venezuela. The 80 per cent. duty
on articles imported from the West
Indies was declared abolished.
In September President Castro is
sued a decree in which he denounced
Gen. Matos as traitor and pirate -
Meantime fighting continued on a
small scale, often near Caracas.
Gen. Matos broke down under the
strain, and the revolution dwindled,
although his forces remained in the
field In November he landed at Cura-
Gao with his son in a small boat, and
has since lived near Willemstead.
His health has continued poor, and
there has been little fighting since his
partial retirement.
