Kenosha, Wis, May 12.-There was
a strange interminsiing OF the blue
and the gray in Kenosha yesterday al.
ternoon. when twenty grizzled veter-
ans of the civil war and former men,
bers OF the Union army gathered at
the city cemetery here to pay their
last respects to William H. Mcdonnell,
who had served with distinction In
the Confederate army during the war
of the rebellion.
The men were all members OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, and
nearly every one OF them had faced
Mcdonnell in the battle during the war.
Mcdonnell Just before he died asked
that the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic be asked to carry him
to his last resting place. and these
men gave to him the tender. consider
alton that they would have given to
one of the members Of their own or
ganization. except that the coffin
was not draDed with the stars and
stripes.
As the body was lowered into the
grave by six members of the Grand
Army a former Union soldier sounded

Report of the Saturnalia Com
mittee Shows That About
$1OO Was Cleared Chang
eS. in Constitution.

In order that the merchants and
citizens generally may talk over plans
and arrangements for the second an
nual fall festival, to be held next fall,
a mass meeting in the nature OF q
smoker, will be held at the city build
ing next Tuesday evening, to which
every one who is interested is invited.
Plans for such a meeting were made
last evening at the meeting Of the Y.
NJ B. c. in the council chambers.
1t was first the intention to hold
a mass meeting to see whether the
merchants really wanted fall festi-
val. but after several of the merchants
present last evening, stated that they
were unanimous for such. it was de-
cided to hold a mass meeting SO that
the general public could suggest what
would be desirable fer the big event.
Will he Superior.
According to the statements of sew
eral members of the Y. NJ. b. c. last
evening, the affair will excel that OF
last year much more than Is antici-
pated. The club has the experience
and can profit by few of its failures
in connection with the affair last
year. The merchants are expected to
take a greater working" interest III
the affair.
The plans have yet to be worked
out but they will be generally along
the lines of those Of last year. The
displays this year will be larger and
there will be greater variety.
After some dispute as to whether
the names of delinuuent members
names should be posted in the club
mously adopted an amendment to the
constitution. providing such. An am
endment providing for change in the
term of service Of the directors OF
the club was also adopted. Under
the new provision the fifteen direc
tors will be elected for two years.
Instead OF having suckers printed

to the merchants and manufacturers

bills Of the senate and the house OF
representatives be made to eliminate
the bad points of both bills and re-
tain the good points of both has sad
phase when 1t is recalled that the last
time the senate and the house got to-
gether on a tariff schedule a few
years ago. there was just the opposite
effect. On certain schedule both
branches of congress were in conflict
-one held out for fifty cents-the
other for twenty-five cents-so they
compromised on seyenty-five cents at
tel. a long delay!
Although the senate will in all prob
ability hand down its bill in June,
even those who are saying that moth
ing can be done before the first Of
July are among those optimistic legis-
lators who have their eye on the sum-
mer vacation.
That is why the spring is marred
by the talk about the tariff-also why
much of the debate is to empty CALLER
les and why the congressional record
is full of speeches and the newspa-
pers of the country fuller of the com.
ings and goings of senators and rep
resentatives to and from little meet
ings and conferences.
The American people may as well
enjoy the spring-the clamor of the
people, no matter how violent will
not avail much unless the unexpected
happens. The tariff will never be
satisfactory and can never be even
comparatively SO, until the matter is
approached with definite knowledge
gained by experts. The present sys.
tenn can never yield any thing which
will approach the real tariffs of the
world which are based on knowledge
gained by careful research. Germany
makes her tariffs after long years OF
study-Japan and England and
France have the German system
worked out with variations. America
is content to let the tariff be wooled
around by committees which are not
favorable to any thing but infant in.
dustries or else are ignorant of condi
tions-even woefully ignorant of what
the purpose of their party is upon tar.
If revision-whether upward or
downward. (witness .Aldrich and Com.
pany)-.
Some day the people will awake to
the fact that they ought to have a
tariff made by proper methods and
made for their benefit.
In the meantime they may as well
enjoy the spring-the spring is less
uncertain than the tariff made by the
present methods.

SOME VIEWS OF SOCIALISM.

1t is singular coincidence that in
there should be references to Social
ism. In some of the correspondence
of the late Grover Cleveland letter
from one of his friends is quoted as
saying that the teachings of Karl
Marx are displacing the doctrines Of
Thomas Jefferson in the democratic
party. The letter says:
l think Mr.. Bryan will be candi-
date again, and of course I intend to
fight him. I see no indications that
the democratic party as you and
knew 1t is ever to be restored. Under
normal conditions party should arise
from the masses of the people to de-
fend the necessary doctrines of strict
construction of the Constitution and
the use of the coordinate branches Of
the Federal government of the powers
delegated to them. and no others. But
conditions are not as they were when
we were young. The press Of the
country no longer discusses constitu-
tiona1 questions; the spirit of social
ism In its many forms is abroad
amongst the masses OF the people, and
any movement arising from them is
more likely to carry the doctrines of
Karl Marx than those of Jefferson.
In another magazine there is SYM
postum OF the leading socialists of the
90 try 70 t,.Sv, q
about certain things; namely the
ways and means of confiscation and
the high hope of socialism that the
state shall afford every man living.
The significant thing is that the let
ter OF Eugene v. DeEs is the most re-
strained of the lot while the views of
certain others Of the Upton Sinclair
type predict the most violent changes
and confusion. The author Of the
Jungle" says: Then with hunger
parades in our streets, and Maxim
guns also; with strikes in every in
dustry and a Socialist meeting on ev-
| cry corner-the great change will be
made by whatever party happens to
be in power"
But though Upton Sinclair sets the
date as 1913. Debs is not so confident
The is far more normal.
No one on earth knows how Social
ism is to be introduced. First of all.
| no one knows how II will come. nor
what the conditions will be at the
time of its coming. ror. in fact any
thing about it except that it is bound
| to come.
| OF course no intelligent person be-
lieyes that Capitalism will abruptly
cease and Socialism as abruptly be-
gin. The change will doubtless come
gradually in obedience to the evolu-
tionars forces which are producing it.
As to how it will be introduced de-
ponds upon so many potential factors
and SO many possible contingencies
THAT It is impossible for any one to
say with any degree of assurance how
1t Will come and what immediate
changes will take place AS a matter
OF fact it will not be introduced, but
II will adjust itself. Ii it comes in
peace, or at least without great VIC
