ForesIsnt Better than HinasIght.

The advantage of the clay stock
house at brick yard was demonstrate
ed at the Hanover last week. The dry
weather had cracked the banks Of the
clay pit and the excessive rains filed
the pit so full that it took week to
pump it out SO that digging could be
renewed. Meanwhile clay from the
stock house kept the machines going.
A system of forced draught for the
kilns is being put in at the works to
facilitate manufacture.

Making good butter is science, and

is not because butter is made by a
farmer that it is quoted below the

TROLLEY NOTES.

The iron poles for the Morris Coun-
ty Traction Co., are set as far as Cut
Ter street and a few remaining will
bring the pole line a little nearer town.
They have all been placed at regular
intervals except that Patrick Luby
objected to one in front of Ills premises
and the wide span required will result
in some diagonal bracing of the line
wire to put it in place. Nothing has
been done in week toward opening
the road below Henry street owing to
the dispute over the lines. Laborers
are surfacing the track and spreading
stone between the rails.
ee
The street committee of the board
of aldermen and D., f. Barkman have
arrived at an agreement over the lines
of Speedwell avenue in front of Mr..
Barkman's place and the trolley
work has been resumed. According
to the maps there was an apparent
jog of about four feet in the road
there. By the agreement some of the
trees will be left.

LAW OBSERVANCE.

The result Of the hearing in the mat.
ter of the charges against the city
marshal is given in the official coun-
ell proceedings. OF course Marshal
Thrasher has not been deposed; and
no considerable number of citizens de-
sired that he should be deposed. The
general desire was for better obser-
vance Of the law on the part Of private
citizens, and better enforcement of
the law on the part of public officials.
And everybody agrees that these de-
siraele objects have been attained.
AS In all other attempts by private
parties to enforce the excise laws,
there was bound TO be considerable
criminatio and recrimination But If
the evils complained of have been
done away with, and they shall not
reappear, the welfare OF Mineral
Point viii be greatly promoted,

COUNTRY LIFE BEST.
Former President Clevelan1 sa,

Former President ClevelanI says
this good word for country life:
1--WE must set ourselves against the
fallacy that city life is easier and more
productive of happiness. We must not
allow the cities TO wholly shape our
ideals and our ambitions. Nothing
that the wealth Of the city can buy will
atone for that loss Of American sturdi-
ness and independence which the farm
and small town have so frequently
produced.
1.-THE history OF our country shows
that the citizen who lives close to the
influences of nature Is far more apt to
shape his own political convictions, in
stead OF being mere obedient fraction
OF political machine. He Is certain
to be more self-reliant and more stub
born In holding fast to his own idea

Enforcing Respect for Law

baton OF all good people. This
species OF treatment Is altogether more

small fine. The latter may be liqui-
dated readily enough, and the old law.
less course resumed; but an official
order that closes the door and thus AT
once stops all revenues becomes a
penalty not lightly to be incurred;
The widest general application of this
means of enforcing respect for the law
Or fear OF it--should be encouraged

THE WISCONSIN PRESS AND
POSTAL REFORM.

The Democrat is delighted with the
postal reform resolutions adopted by
the Wisconsin Press association. The
United States government has long
been very generous with publishers of
newspapers and magazines in the mat
ter of transmitting their publication
through the mails. The rates of post
age on second class matter were made
very low, TO promote the growth OF q
free and Independent press. But the
privileges thus afforded have been
greatly abused, by loading down the
mails with publications which are is
sued almost wholly for advertising
purposes, or worse. To correct these
abuses congress constituted postal
commission to make inquiry and re-
port. This commission reported It's
findings last January, and an attempt
was made to pass postal reform
measure at the short session Of con-
gress. And this attempt accustomed
n very violent protest on the part of
many who have turned to their own
great benefit and behoof very gen
erous public policy, without rendering
in return TO the public any compensat-
ing benefits in the way OF education.
In this protest publishers generally
were besought TO join; and too many
have joined. The Minnesota Press
association recently adopted n harsh
condemnation OF Postmaster General
Madden and the postal commission.
And ut Madison, last week, IT was sug-
gested that the Wisconsin Press asso-
citation do likewise. But wiser coun-
sci prevailed, and resolutions were
adopted favoring postal reform. This
places Wisconsin newspaper men in u
more independent manly attitude
towards the government, Because
thereof the Democrat rejoices.

BARONS AGAINST BARONS.

The following article from the Dem
ocrat, published at YOUNGSTOWN, Pa. +,
discloses a keen Insight into the real
causes leading up TO the irrepressible
conflict now on In national politics:
lit Is obvious that the railway reg
ulation campaign was planned by the
standpattors in the interest of the tar
III barons. II has had the answering
support OF practically the entire stand
pat element, from the president down;
and, according TO Washington advces
this campaign Is to be pushed even to
greater extremes than hitherto thought
probable. Not merely are rates to be
regulated, but they are to be fixed up
on basis wholly different from that
which has always prevailed. The
roads are TO be appraised and charges
are to be determined, not by what the
traffic will bear, but in accordance
with the actual value of the property
exclusive OF water" so that the
earnings shall not be in excess of a
tair return on the actual Investment.
''This proposal Ia drastic enough to
arouse the railroads and there are
symptoms of n great awakening In that
quarter, The New York Central has
already determined to forego improve
ments aggregating 800, 900 on ac-
count OF extortionate charges for lum-
Der, rails, cars and other equipments
controlled by the trusts. The South
ern Is appealing to the public against
what 1t claims TO be unjust criticism
and hostile legislation on the ground
that it Is itself the victim Of conditions
over which only congress has control.
And in all this there is the promise
that In the falling out Of thieves just

CATTLEMEN SUFFER
AN IMMENSE LOSS
Stock Buyer Says Animal
Are Dying by the Thousands in
the Northwest.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 30.-J. X
Howells, of Minot. n. D., a leading
buyer of cattle and sheep, declared that
the cattlemen of the northwest would
stand 10 lose more than 81, 000, 900 by
the severe winter. He has made a tour
of inspection along the transcontinental
lines, both in the United States ana
'Canada, and says the losses Will not
be so great in North Dakota as in Al
'berta and Montana.
In the Alberta country. ACCORDING 10
Mr.. Howells, thousands OF cattle had
ihuddled together along tho railroad
tracks and dead cattle We're to be seen
for 100 miles or more lying twenty feet
deep in some places. The same condi-
tons, he says, prevail in Montana.
Mr.. Howells says that while In Havre,
Mont, last week a ranchman offered
him 10000 sheep for $4,000, which last
fall were worth $50, 600. Sheep were
dying by hundreds for want of food.
Last year Mr.. Howells' company
shipped out of Havre nearly 400 cars
of cattle, but this year it has been I'M
able to get out a single carload.

MAY INDlCT THE
THEATER MAGNATES

New York, Jan. 29.-It is generally
believed enough evidence has been Sc
cured by the grand jury TO warrant In
dictment OF the heads OF the theater
trust.
The contract of the combination
formed by AL Hayman, Charles Froh-
man, Nixon &. Zimmerman and Klaw
& Erlanger, wa the principal piece of
evidence against the syndicate. 1t was
signed on August 81, 1896, TO run for
I've years, when 1t was renewed. Last
June ii was renewed again.
Members of the combination were to
pool profits. Each company hat the
syndicate controlled got 70 per e OF
the gross profits of the house, and 80
per cent. went to the manager of the
house, out of which he had to give a
third to the trust. In the contract
there was a clause that they were not
to allow n opposition attraction to
play in their houses on the circuit, nor
would any of the houses controlled by
the trust be allowed to book any in
dependent attractions.
The syndicate had about fifty houses
on it's circuit when the agreement was
signed. Now IL has all but about 100
of the 600 heaters In the country. I'm
der the arrangement Xlaw az Erlanger
did the booking. M. Hayman and Mr..
Frohman had charge of the finances OF
the syndicate, and Nixon & thinner
man were the travelling representatives.

AS ALLY OF ROOSEVELT

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 29.-The leg

sent the San Francisco school board
in the proceedings instituted by the
federal department of justice to COM
pei the board to admit Japanese to- the
public schools for white children: IL
also ~appropriates $4,000 for the en-
ployment OF special counsel.
A~ssemblyman Grove l.. Johnson, au-
of the resolution, arraigned Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his entire course in
the matter, saying that the federal gov
ernmen was attempting to infringe
on the rights OF the state.
1.-THE trade OF the orient is their
song" said Mr.. Johnson. Before the
rebellion 1t was Well lose the trade of
the south.' Let the trade of the orient
go, but let us preserve the right of the
state OF California to settle its own
school question.
IF the president has his way the
state will become the mere province OF
n centralized power, and the dream OF
Alexander Hamilton will become true.
Courts very rarely decide against their
own jurisdiction. 1t is my experience
as a lawyer for forty years that the
courts fear the power that appoints
them. In the United States supreme
court, presidents in the past, and Pres
ident Roosevelt in particular, has an
ally, and this body will decide as he
wants. at least this has been the course
Of procedure in the past"
