New York Times
Nearby salee, at the very name OF
which our New England ancestors
who went down to the sea in ships
were wont to shudder, and with good
reason, is now closed by sand bar,
which even the daring Barbary cor
sairs would not dare to cross in their
light-drawing feIuccas, but the Moor of
the bad country is still a pirate,
though the times have driven him in
land from the seas. Until recently he
preyed upon the passing caravans as
q century ago he sWooped down with
his hawklike galleys upon our be-
calmed sailing ships. The Kabyle
horsemen who rush with SO much fury
and reckless daring up to the French
batteries and rifle pits, do it not only
because they have a hatred of the
Christian which their church sancti-
fies to a virtue, but because they are
starving to death and want to get at
the men who have taken the bread out
of their mouths.
Held Plains and Passes.
Ten years ago these dashing horse
men, whose gorgeous costumes and be-
jeWeled weapons made them most
beautiful if somewhat barbaric OBJ
iects to behold, were the lords of the
plains and the marshes which lie be-
tween the western Soudan and the
port owns of southwest Morocco. They
were the masters of transportation in
this part of the world, and had to be
reckoned with. If you cared to take
caravan flight in ostrich feathers, gold
dust, slaves, or salt, they would pro-
tect you or pillage you, whichever was
the most profitable.
These dashing Dordermen were
bound to the imperial government by
the slenderest of ties; they were
wholly immersed in their profitable
business operations and in annexing
to their own households the most
beautiful slaves culled from the pass
ing caravans. When the tax-gatherers
ventured into their domains they
buried them alive but when the late
sultan, Mulai Hassan, who was a fight

ciety, and also president of the North.
ern Wisconsin academy, now North
land college, has been spending the
last month in Northern Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Mr.. Mccormick is now To-
Gated at Spokane, and there is a deal
of circumstantial evidence to show
that the ambition of the millionaire
lumberman will not be requited until
he has chance for the United States
senatorship.

Wisconsin Postmasters' Co,

wisconsin PoStmaSrerS' convention.
That the civil service examination
for positions as letter carriers is not
the best means of obtaining the best
man for the service, was agreed by
the postmasters assembled at the final
business meeting of the Wisconsin
Postmasters' association held in Mil
waukee. In speaking of Local SUI
pervision of the Rural Free Delivery"
Col. G. w. Burchard of Fort Atchison,
expressed the opinion that the post
master is far better fitted for the
choice of carriers than the civil serv-
ice commission. His opinion seemed
to be shared by every postmaster pres
ent. The rural free delivery ques-
ton was discussed from many angles
by the postmasters, many complaints
as to the demands made upon the car
rier by the patrons of the service be-
ing reported. The chief trouble is in
that farmers do not provide the neces
sary boxes for mail, cigar boxes, shoe
boxes, and many other inadequate
means being used. Judge e. W..
Keyes, postmaster at Madison, told
of the proper means of meeting such
difficulties, saying: mo person re-
ceiving mail through the rural free
delivery system handled through the
post office at Madison, will have his
mail delivered unless he provide a
good substantial box in which to re-
ceive it." Election of officers was
held and Oshkosh was chosen as the
place of the next meeting. The Off
GERS elected: President, e. M. Crane,
Oshkosh; secretary and treasurer,
Christian Widule, Milwaukee,; first
vice president, G. G. Cuttings, Racine;
second vice president, E. S. WEIGH,
Eau Claire; third vice president, F. M.

president, Miss Marietta, Andrews,

Industry in Alabama.

Alabama is now producing as much
pig iron as Pennsylvania did quar-
ter of century ago. In 1887 the
south made trife more than 100000
tons. Last year it made 100000
tons. The south has about one-half
the known iron ores of the United
States. A great steel industry has
sprung up in Alabama within the
last ten years, and it is said to pro-
duce better steel rails than the
north, and at lower cost.

Plans New Bank.

Former Congressman Herman 3. Dab
lie, Of Mount Horeb, has for some time
been considering the proposition of
opening another bank in Eau Claire.
He has looked over the situation pref
ty thoroughly and had dealings with
several business men regarding the
purchase of a suitable location. Mr..
DAZZLE is an experienced banker and
he is much impressed with the posi-
bilities in that city. There are already
four banks in Eau Claire, controlled
by two separate arrangements.

Sent to Inspect Grain.

Thoroughly dissatisfied with the
Minnesota system of grain inspection
that has prevailed at Superior, Wis,
for years, the Canadian government
has sent William Crawford, of Winni-
peg, to Superior to supervise the in
spection of Canadian grain. He is ac-
companied by Messrs. Cassell and
Horn, of the Manitoba grain commits
sion, and will begin work with the ar
rival of the new crop. This is re-
garded as another feather in the hats
of the fighters for Wisconsin inspec-
tors.

Insurance Decisions.

In a letter to the state insurance
commissioner, the attorney general
holds that the action Of the so-called
union" fire insurance companies in
combining to pay agents high commits.
sions to secure business away from
companies not affiliated with the
union" is not a violation of the
statute prohibiting discrimination in
the issuing of policies or the charg
ing of premiums. In another opinion
rendered the attorney general holds
that corporations not organized under
the laws of Wisconsin cannot hold and
act under franchises for the opera
ton of public utilities in this state.
The question arose on the application
of the Dutch Hollow Lead & Zinc
Mining company of Phoenix, Ariz., to
file articles of incorporation in the
secretary of states Office, authorizing
it among other things to buy and sell
franchises for the operation of public
utilities.

Sultan's Willy Answer.
Certainly not was the sultan's
immediate answer, 'the rocks were
put there by God for some good pur-
pose, let no man dare to remove
them"
What the sultan doubtless thought
was that foreign men-ofwar could get
into the Atlantic ports Of his empire
quite easily enough, and at all events
he did not wish to appear in the eyes
of his sullen people as facilitating the
exits and the entrances of the hated

Christians. The policy of his little son,
Abdul-AZiz, has been much more lib
eral, and from the western view point
more enlightened, and is, sad to relate,
one of the contributing causes to the
present alarming situation. He recent
ly consented to the request of the con-
sular corps and the shippers that har-
Dor improvements should be under,
taken in Casablanca. Whereupon the
suspicious Kabyles of the adjacent
mountain Businesses rushed down to
the white House" city and killed IL
or Is Europeans, mostly Spaniards,
who were engaged upon the work.
In making concessions to the Euro
pean spirit of progress and enterprise,
for which his people are not ready, the
unlucky and probably most incapable
young sultan has raised a storm which
may cost him his throne To-day, if
he stands with his people, he is threat
ened with foreign expedition, while
if he stands by the treaty he runs even
greater and nearer danger at the hands
Of the various pretenders to the
throne, by whose activity the sultan's
life has been made very miserable
ever since, or almost ever since. BY a
harem conspiracy and the weakness
of his father the young prince was
called to the difficult post of ruling
the Moors.
Present Ruler Unpopular.
Abdul Aziz's accession to the throne
was most unpopular one, and this
fact probably accounts for the fact
that early in his reign he surrounded
himself with foreigners who, with
some exceptions, were not generally
men of a high type-rope walkers,
photographers, balloonists, and sleight-
of-hand men were the representatives
of western civilization who for a long
time appealed most powerfully to the
young sultan's appreciation of our cul-
ture. In view of the rising tide of dis
content and the disaffection even of
the people of the capital, and the
growing strength of the various reyo-
lutions in progress, in the last year
the sultan has dismissed his staff Of
foreign adventures and goes to the
mosque as regularly as his father did
but probably the harm has been
done. In Morocco, as well as in other
countries, a reputation for orthodoxy
is hard to retrieve.
One brother of the unlucky sultan.
Mulai Hafid by name, of whose char
acter and leanings upon the questions
of the day little is known, has been
formally proclaimed sultan in the
great mosque at Morocco City. An
other brother Hassan, it is said. has
been exercising rights Of sovereignty
in the Riff highlands, west of Tetanu
and on the Mediterranean coast for
two years past. In the Sus country an

Morocco's greatest sultan, Mulai Is

New Years In New Amsterdam.

When our Dutch ancestors debarked
from the Half Moon in the harbor Of
Manhattan it was 1909. And they
brought with them from their native
Holland nothing of that spirit of re-
Egious intolerance which distinguished
the New England Puritans who came
six years later. In fact. they were de-
nounced by their Yankee neighbors as
q goddess crew." but they kept Christ
mas and New Years day. both of
which were frowned upon by the Mas
sachusetts Puritans. On New Years
morning the old Dutch burgher would
start forth from his own door and
visit his neighbors, collecting all the
money due him from the solvent debt
ors and .forgiving the insolvent ones,
and, having drunk numberless mugs
OF punch with the solvent and insolv-
ent alike, he returned to his home q
better man. forgiving in spirit and per-
haps more religious minded than his
Puritan neighbor, who had spent the
day precisely as he spends every other
week day in the year.-Utica Observer.
