Two instances of jury trials have
lately occurred near here-the trial
of Erick Paulson of Pepin county
and that of Eli. Burns, at Menom-
onie-both for murder-both unde-
niably guilty-both going free. Mr.
Burns pleaded self defense, but the
man he shot had no weapon, and
was getting into his sled to drive
away when he was killed. Most
jury trials are farce.-Spring Val

1t is question with the Demo
cratic party as to whom they shall
nominate for their presidential can
didate. Billy Hearst did run well
for a season in securing delegates to
the national convention but Judge
Parker of New York seems now to
be gaining upon the man of many
newspapers. 1t matters little who
the nominee shall be. He will get
10 nearer the White House than the
nomination.

The Presidents Pension Order.

The newspaper that claims to be
independent in politics is often the
most partisan, and not infrequently
is it the most unreasoning and un-
reasonable. The editor of the indie
pendent paper, if he is man of dis
tinct ability-has opinions of his own
is a pessimist. He is always look
ing, to find in politicians and parties,
not excellencies, but faults. 1t is
faults that please him most. These
he emphasizes. The partisan will
be sure to see good in his own party,
while the independent, the man who
stands aloof, sees good in no party.
The independent paper is generally
against the government. It's preju-
dices preclude it from being fair and
often lead it so far off from the truth
as to make its absurd statements
seem almost ridiculous. In one of
these independent papers, a paper
that claims a circulation of several
millions, there recently appeared the
statement: "The Presidents latest
performance in the pension matter
has brought him nothing but op-
probrium."
This statement refers to the order
of the President making the age OF
81 in the veteran an evidence of dis
ability emitting him to a pension
under the law of 1890.
Now it will be interesting to en-
quire as to who these are that would
place the stigma of opprobrium up
on the president because of the liber-
atty of his Interpretation of the law.
There are yet 100000 of those
who left their homes and business in
1865 to fight for the maintenance
of the government. They were
promised as a remuneration the sum
Of $1,000 month in money worth
from 80 to SO per cent on the dollar.
Campaigning was not all fun. 1t
brought its hardships. Many were
killed. More died of sickness Incl
dent to the service. Most of the
survivors came out Of the ordeal
with broken health. Two million
who wore the blue lie under the sod.
But they left relatives and friends in
vast numbers. These revere their
memories and defend their reputa-
tons. The 100000 who still live
have voice and an influence. All
these, the soldiers living, their friends
and the friends of the dead-do they
cast opprobrium upon the president
for his order? Those who support
ed the government in its endeavors
to maintain the integrity of the ma
tion-do they censure the president
for his order? The millions of freed
men and their descendants who
benefited by that war, are they OPP
posed to this order? Who then are
these who cast opprobrium upon the
president for this slight and tardy
recognition of patriotic endeavor?
There were in that agonizing period
that tried mems principles, their
souls and their endurance, few
people in the north who from cow
ardice, treason or malefcence, OPP
posed the government in its fight for
its life. These earned the significant
epithet of copperheads-name most
Infamous. Are there any of these
still numbering the earths These
would attach opprobrium to the
presidents order. And the presi-
dent is honored in their SO doing.

THE IMPENDING WAR.

The cause of the 'rouble between
Japan and Russia relates back to the
war between Japan and China in
1894. That conflict arose over rival
named, for control CT the trade and |
commerce Of Corea. Tne fighting be-
gan in that TERRITORY, and after the |
Japanese were victorious there they |
marched through Corea and Manchuria
to invest Port Arthur which they sue
ceeded in capturing, and also the Pot
Of Wei:Hai-Wei By the treaty IT
Shimonoseki in the following year, be-
tween the two nations, the indepen-
dence Of COrea was established. The
island Of Formosa was ceeded to Japan
ana also the Liaotung peninsula. in
GLIDING Port Arthur anu Wei-Hai-Wei
But Japan hau no sooner obtained
these territorial advantages on the
main land as q result Of her remark
able victory, than Russia stepped in
with the objection that possession Of
Port Arthur by Japan would mean
control Of the gateway to Pekin, AMI
so the balance Of power in the east
would be disturbed. France and Ger.
many supported Russia IN this oontear
ton and Japan was reluctantly OBJ
liged to relenQuish these spoils Of war

to great distance. 1t was the hre
from this height that kept Admiral
Togo's ships lodging. The system OF
interior defense is equally comprehen-
sive. In case fleet should succeed In
entering the harbor 1t would still IND
itself the target for most active DEM
onstration.
Having thus renewed the defenses.
the new tenants Of Port Arthur turned
their attention to the condition OF the
harbor. The Chinese had done little to
make the port available as an anchor
age. and the Japanese during their
brief occupation had been unable to
carry their plans into effect. The APP
proach to the harbor is SO narrow and
tortuous that 1t would seem as II ma
ture had not intended it for roadway.
When the MuscoyiteS came to Port
Arthur tie channel was so filed with
mud that it was impossible for large
merchantmen to get inside. Cargoes
had to be unloaded at the outer an
chorage into sampans and poled labo-
riollsly through the long, winding neck.
The Russians began at once most eX-
tensive system OF dredging. The inner
harbor was excavated to depth suffi-
cfent to float a first class battleship.
The rocks which blocked the gateway
were Ioosened with dynamite and re-
moved by means of floating cranes of
giant capacity. AS result of months
of unremitting toll the width of the
entrance at it's widest point was in
creased to $50 yards, while at the mar
rowest spot it is only 500 feet in width.
In it's best condition it is no easy prob
lem in navigation for a vessel over 800
feet in length either to enter or leave
the harbor. The construction of a suit
able basin was the next undertaking.
The excavation for this work had been
begun by the Chinese, but 1t was en-
laraed greatly. AS now reconstructed
