Republicans at Odds.

When he resigned from the cabinet,
under compulsion, Gen. Russell A. AL
ger, with all the facts fresh in his
mind, gave an elaborate interview to
a Milwaukee paper, stating his side of
the controversy, on condition that it
should not be published till after his
death. The moment the breath was
out of his body the Milwaukee paper
aforesaid sent it broadcast over the
land and thereby precipitated a row
among the Republican bigwigs which
is raging with amazing fury Charges
and countercharges are being hurled
about with a recklessness that is
amazing, and in the general melee the
public may come into the possession
of much valuable information.
Recent events in Germany prove be-
yond all cavil that Kaiser Wilhelm is
something of political campaign
manager himself. "'Twas famous
victory" which he won. 1t seems to
settle definitely that Germany is to
continue her colonization program in
South Africa, or anywhere else that
the kaiser determines to make the ex-
pertinent. Whether people believe in
a monarchy or not, they cannot help
admiring the courage and ability of
the princes of the house of Hohenzol-
lern.

Judge Brewer, of the Supreme
Court, explains toR~e, American pub
lie the radical di ID ICE in character
between a public as "a private debt
the citizen m' I'D. langer his own
property for business reasons, and
it is possible that his children may
lose by his bad Judgment, but he does
not place a weight upon their shoul-
ders and deny them the right of act
ing, in turn, for themselves. Where
as, the government which contracts
a debt burdens the future, forgets
that each generation has it's own obli-
cations and wastes money in riotous
living without the excuse of business
foresight.
Except in self defense, why should
a government borrow money? Surely
the history of our national debt is
but the record of how spectators
have bound the public to serve them
how politicians have sold or neg
lected the interests confded to their
guardianship, and how rascals have
proited at the expense Of industry.
And yet we now hear Republicans
declare that to pay a debt drawing
interest would be a national calam-
ity- to cancel an obligation would
paralyze business and keep promise
OF business purport and meaning,
would ruin us all at one fell swoop!
Surely the public cannot be victimiz-
ed again as in the old argument for
the tariff which denied that we paid
taxes for the protection of favored
interests surely Americans will not
endorse by their votes the PROPOSE
tion that the debtor who has the
money to pay should stop interest by
keeping faith with his creditor. And
yet the public has endorsed this view
and will, most probably, do so again
at the bidding of the Republican
party.
Judge Blount, in the North Ameri-
can Review shows that we must drop
the load of the Philippines, and de-
clares, eff we had devoted to our
rivers and harbors the uncounted mil
lions spent for assimilation and edu-
cation since 1899, we should now
have no railroad problem. Since
the Times Union has made the same
remark several times since 1900, it
must agree with Judge Blount, but
why the American voter follows the
Republican party to his loss along
a path marked out for him we can
see and understand as little as Judge
BlOunt. But in all this We see signs
that we are coming back to first
principles though experience is a
dear school.-Times- Union, Jackson

WHY THE CONTEDERATES
WOULD DIE FOR GEN
ERAL LEE.
An Incident.
Dear Mr.. Watson :


Your beautiful tribute to General
Lee, on his birthday, has prompted
me to give personal incident which
illustrates the cause of the devotion
Of Lees Army to their noble COM
mander.
In the latter part Of the summer,
or fall of 1864, while the seige Of
Richmond and Petersburg was on,
part of Grant s army had been mass
ed, and successful charge made
against the Weldon Railroad just
south of Petersburg.
A counter charge by the Confeder-
ates had been successful to the extent
of re-capturing the railroad, but
had not pushed Grants troops back
far enough to re-capture all of the
lost ground, and, therefore, a part
Of our men were engaged in throw
ing up new breastworks between the
railroad and the position then held
by the enemy.
Near the old gas works a citizen
had two or three-acre patch Of corn
in roasting ear.
General Lee ordered a guard to
watch over that corn night and day
to protect the citizens property.
The writer, then a mere boy SOL
dier of the 45th Georgia Regiment,
was helping in the work.
Goaded by that craving feeling that
every old soldier remembers, that
comes to one who has not had their
appetite satisfied for weeks past. l
decided to risk the bullet Of the
guard and the punishment of army
discipline In the determination to get
some Of that corn.
Leaving the workers for a short
time [ made my way through the thick
underground and over the fence, Sc
cured two roasting ears.
Returning along path through
the underground stopped, struck a
match, collected leaves and twigs and
soon had a small fire.
Having removed the shuck, I had
my two ears of corn standing on end
baking one side at the time, by the
Goals. [ was STOPPING to turn my
corn, when [ heard horse walking
behind me. Turning around-great
Heavens! General Lee had brought
"Traveler" to a standstill, while he
sat there like a statue.
Now, every old veteran that reads
this will know exactly what I ex-
pected.
To be ordered to headquarters for
punishment. But that noble old
Roman did nothing of the sort.
With his face all wreathed in
smiles, he looked, first into my fright
ened countenance, and then at my
corn, and with slight pressure of
the bridle-rein with the left hand,
causing "Traveler" to slightly sway
to the left, while with his right hand
he gave me the most graceful salute
[ had ever seen. In return I gave
him the most grateful, though not

through the press and Dyed interview
from Mr.. Drake, the commissioner Of
insurance in the District of Columbia,
to have inserted his powerful hand
into the legislation of the different
states Of this republic to prevent the
reduction of the salaries Of insurance
officers, he has not seen fit as yet to call
up to his desk and administer the
proper instructions to the next secre-
tary of the treasury, the present post
master general, the last chairman of
the national Republican committee
who received and administered this
fund. The same effort On his part
would have restored this misappro-
priated fund. Let us be honest, Mr.
Speaker. There is no man in this
great assembly who does not know
that during the last national campaign
this fund was received and expended
in the interests of a great political
party. While we now brand as crimi-
nal that which has heretofore been
done, We recognize the fact that the
necessity of this legislation which is
now proposed grows out of conditions
which existed and occurred during the
last great national campaign. Let us
then in our inspiration and endeavor
to do right, while we pass this legis-
lation, pay back what has been
stolen.'"

est men who read Robinson's scorch-
ing, blistering words will feel that he
was boldly saying what millions think.
Cushman's Humor.
First and last, several representa-
tives in congress have been nominated
by the public press as Private John
Aliens successor as wit and humor-
ist par excellence. Among them Fran
els w. Cushman, representative from
Washington, has received that honor.
For some reason not necessary to
state here, even if 1 knew, the Wash
ingtonian is not enamored of Hon.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of
the interior. Quite the contrary.
Truth to tell, most of the senators and
representatives from the far west are
rather hostile to the lineal descendant
of the" hero of Ticonderoga. When
Cushman learned that Mr.. Secretary
Hitchcock will retire to the shades of
private life on March 4, he declared
that when that event came to pass
there would not be dry throat west
of the Mississippi river. Some time,
somewhere, somehow, somebody may
have said more humorous thing, but
it may we'll be doubted.

wrong9 Did General Lee do
wrong?" My conscience answers,
no. And if the n kip owned that

He had the power to punish and
he had the power to pardon.
When the final history of that
great struggle is written, I hope
something Of this incident will be re-
membered as an inspiration to those
IN authority In the ages to come.
This personal incident made me a
better man in after years, as it taught
me not to condemn my fellowman un-

WISCONSIN rOBAOOO MARKET.
EDGRRroN, WIS, Jan. %, 1907,

EDGRRTON, WIS, Jan. 70, l9OI
Receiving of the 1906 crop is still un-
der full swing throughout the growing
districts. As an evidence that the
dealers are exerting every effort to salts
fy the urgent demands of the growers
for an early delivery date, is found in
the fact that SO carloads of bundle leaf
from outside points have been received
in this market alone during the week
This, 10 addition to the hundreds of
wagon loads received by teams at the
local warehouses, brings the delivery of
the week close to S30O,0OO worth of leaf
at this point alone. At the present rate
of receiving the great bulk of the crop
will be out Of farmers hands before
March ls.. The work of receiving, how
ever, is attended with some unpleasant
pess. Deductions are demanded when
the tobacco does not come up to contract
requirements and an occasional rejection
made where satisfactory settlements
cannot be agreed upon.
Warehouse handling of the crop is be-
ing crowded along as rapidly as condi-
tions will permit at all the packing
points. The tobacco is coming to the
tables in such uniformly good packing
condition that it is being prepared for
the cases with lighter labor cost than
usual.
The market for cured leaf has devel-
ed no news. Shipments out of storage
reach 35Ocs aside from ten car loads of
bundle leaf for the week.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 1907

A general improvement in market
conditions is observable this week. That
the manufacturers are busy is noticeable
from the heavy Withdrawals from bond,
and the same activity has given life
and tone to the domestic leaf mark ct
that has been sadly lacking for num-
Der of weeks. The presence of a number
of Western and out-of-town buyers here
has contributed TO the same result.
There is considerable demand for Wis
consin Havana Seed binders, and num-
Der of sales in this type have taken
place. A demand is felt for thinner
Spanish and Wisconsin filters, and a
number of transactions involving in the
neighborhood of 800 cases each have
been reported. Also, some transactions
have been consummated in which few
hundred cases of Pennsylvania Broad
leaf and old Gebhart changed hands.
Connecticut light wrappers are dull.
Sumatra.-That stocks in the manu-
facturers' hands are small has been evi
denced by the character of the business
done in Snmatra tobacco in the last
week. It has been OF the hand to mouth

trading proclivities. but at the same

Experiments Conducted i'm New Z

Experiments Conducted i'm New Err Gland
In the Connecticut valley the Jrk Of
producing, under shade, wrapptr leaf
having the qualities demanded ~ the
trade has been continued, in con- ection
with the breeding experiments OF the
Bureau of Plant Industry. Eleven se
lectlons we're taken in a four acre tent,
seven from Sumatra seed and four FROM
Cuban seed of the third generation in
Connecticut. The yield of Sumatra
ranged from 1445 pounds to 1912 pounds
per acre, and the Cuban from 1874 10
1884 pounds per acre. Out Of these
eleven types there have been selected
two types of Sumatra and one of Cuban
seed that appear to meet the demands
of the trade.
Besides the area in the experimental
tent of the department there were grown
last year about 120 acres under cloth
shade, both Cuban seed and Connect
cut Broad leaf being planted. One firm
growing the Broad leaf sold the tobacco
for $1,06lO2 an acre, giving profit OF
about $500 an acre. The Cuban tobacco
was sold for $1,000 per acre.
Owing to the serious damage caused
annually in Connecticut by pole sweat
or house burn, the Bureau conducted
some preliminary Investigations in cur
ing sheds containing both the cut and
primed tobacco. A detailed record Of
the moisture and temperature conditions
in each shed was kept, as. also Of the
condition of the tobacco, with view to
determining the point of relative humid
ity and temperature of atmosphere at
which tobacco would begin to be affect
ed with pole-sweat, and the means to
prevent the atmosphere of the shed be-
coming such as to favor its spread. This
study will be closely followed, as it is be-
leved that results can be obtained which
will be of great value to the Connecticut
growers.
