InexplicabIe Diplomacy.

Unless all the information we have
been able to obtain from our study of
the interests of the United States in the
Chinese question has been false, the
diplomacy of Secretary Hay, which has
changed the attitude of Russia toward
us from friendship to hatred, has been
a most deplorable mistake from every
point of view except that of our chief
CONNER eial competitor the British
empire. Russia has been and win be,
for a century TO come, the greatest inn
porter of those manufactures in which
the United States chiefly eNcels, mills,
railroad materials, and farm maehin-

Der lands. suitable for general farming
after the timber has been removed,
greater in extent than all the timber
and wheat lands of the United States
aud British America combined. Nine
tenths of it is virgin forest and virgin
soil Russian Siberia has been our best
customer for many years past, but
when the development really begins
that is TO follow the era of railroads in
that vast empire, the demand for the
things which we have won our greatest
commercial success in manufacturing
will be so great as To tax the ability of
all manufacturing nations with whom
Russia is on friendly terms, to supply

THERE is good deal of talk Just now
about trying to have the capitol of Wis
consin changed to Milwaukee Many
would like to have this brought about
on account of the manner in which
visitors are fieeced by the hotel men
when they do 60 to the capitol city. 1t
has been a common thing, especially
when the legislature is in session, to
have to pay $500 to $500 day in Madi-
son for service, no better than can be
had in town of several hundred in
habltants. This ''hold up" policy has
been the talk of the whole state for
years. Nevertheless there has always
been hopes that hotels would be erected
there that would give good service at
reasonable rates. The capitol building
will be rebuilt at Madison, for it is the
proper place for it. All the talk of
building it in Milwaukee and making
that city the capitol city, is wind
wasted; of course, each town in Wis
cOnsin that has a population of from
100 mp, has its over enthusiastic ones
who are frantically reaching out trying
to have the capitol taken away from
Madison and located in their town
This is also wind wasted There is
enough of the capitol building left in
which to do business and when the time
comes, the building will be repaired or
a new one built on the same site, and
this would be the wish of two thirds of
the people of the state, if a vote were
taken.
