new ORLEANS FIRST VICTORY
over SAN FRANCISCO.

After hearing extending over sew
eral days, the Committee on Industrial
Arts and Expositions returned report
favorable to New Orleans as the place
at which to hold an exposition to cele-
brate the completion OF the Panama
Canal. The advocates of both cities
appeared before that Committee and
presented elaborate arguments, the
committee holding meetings from day
to day in order to get all information
obtainable upon which to base it's find
ing. 1t was not until everybody who
desired to speak had been given the
opportunity to do so that the public
hearing closed.
Both cities put their strongest ad-
vocates forward, every claim which
each city had to advance was presented
the opportunity being given the rival
city to traverse the allegations of its
opponent. In this way only those con-
tentions stood that could successfully
bear the test of the most searching
analysis.
A report resulting from a perfect
method of obtaining the facts means
something and should command the
popular confidence and support. 1t
means that the advantages of holding
an exposition at New Orleans have
been made clear to a majority of the
members of the committee, which has
had far better opportunity than either
House of Congress to become familiar
with the facts.
The report of the Committee will be
presented to the House without delay
and the vote upon its adoption may be
expected shortly Aside from all the
arguments that ought to influence the
support of New Orleans by everybody
East of the Rocky Mountains, the Com
mittee's report resulting from this
exhaustive hearing ought to be con-
vincing.
The question is entirely non-political
under which circumstances the House
usually considers the reports of its
committee conclusive, and acts accord
ingly.

TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO.

Hon. Joseph Rankin died at Wash
ington on Sunday at O'Clock in the
afternoon. In the morning it was quite
evident that the end was near, and the
whole family remained near him. lie
was in great pain during the forenoon
and tossed about uneasily on the bed.
He wanted to talk, but his tongue was
partially paralyzed and he was unable
to do so. At times his mind wandered
and he fancied he was in his seat in
the House and attempted TO make a
speech on Fitz John Porter. About
one o'clock there were symptoms of
convulsions, but he soon became con-
scious and intimated that he would like
to have the children come near him.
They came sobbing and bade him good
bye. His last conscious act was bidding
farewell to Mrs. Rankin. During his
entire sickness he dreaded this final
parting with his wife more than any
thing else. He often spoke of it to
friends as the only thing which gave
death pang. He died without pain,
though for weeks he had suffered much.
HON. JOSEPH RANKIN,
We have lost our hero the soldier cries
We have lost the captain we dearly prize,
And shrouded in silence our leader lies,
For his great soul entered, beyond the skies,
The camping ground immortal
The gallant bearer of Stripes and Stars,
That Joined the march of the q. A, RS.
A loyal and brilliant son of Mars,
Has broken the cruel prison bars,
And passed beyond the portal
But he II keep his place in our hearts, until
We follow our leader over the hill.
Where the mists are white and the air is
chill.
Where the spirit fails, and the pulses still
And the shadows are deeper growing;
Though we know on the other side the rilI
OF perpetual peace is flowing.
We have lost a brother" the statesman
sghS,
That bound our hearts by the strongest
ties,
BY the love and honor that never dies;
And to do him honor we gladly rise,
And salute our peer departed
For spirit never reached the skies,
OF one more noble hearted
He has left void tha cannot be filed
A voice in our midst that cannot be stilled
For its echoes fall where its magic thrilled,
And we hear him speak. though his lips are
chilled,
And we know he's gone before US.
If the cloud o er hanging be silver.lined.
We must search for the light, for our eyes
are blind
And the brighter side we still fail to find
While we hail his memory true and kind
In a sad. unbroken chorus"
We have lost our Rankin. " the City walled,
As firm lips faltered. and fair cheeks paled
We have lost the spirit that never quailed,
We have lost the friendship that never fail
ed,
Whether war or peace hung DER US
Our praises. now, and our pnings blend
AS toward Forest Home our steps we bend
And follow him to the mournful end
And bury our Soldier, our Statesman and
Friend.
" hon genius cannot restore us.
Ger the saddest scene must the pen be brief
Ger womans courage, and childhood s
grief
Where the only balm was the sad belief.
That death brought the long tried one relief,
For skill could not relieve him.
So long Farewell to Wisconsin's Chief
And may Heavens host receive him

PRAISING THE TEACHER.

We sing the praises Of the teacher.
We hail him rs the hope of America.
We declaim that the soldier writes
history with a pen of steel dipped in
human blood, followed by misery un-
told; the statesman writes the law on
parchment, his successors alter, amend
or repeal; the merchant rearS his state
ly buildings, they crumble, tumble and
decay: the lawyer wins victories with
logic or with eloquence, they are like
the whitecaps on our lake, evanescent
and feeting. But the teacher builds
his monument in the hearts of his
scholars. His ideas are indelibly inn
pressed upon the minds of the young
and thus transmitted to future genera
tions. His influence is flowing down
through the years to come, an ever
widening river of blessing. And, crown
ing him with this responsibility, we call
him the Modern King. Yet we should
remember that
"Uneasy lie the heads of all that rule,
His worst of all whose kingdom Is a
school,"
The teacher, single-handed can new
er accomplish the results hoped for
Those results are superior breed OF
people, and the lessening Of the unfit
and vicious, who, like Canada thistIcs,
multiply most rapidly. TO succeed in
raising a good crop, clean crop, free
from noXious weeds, the teacher must
be surrounded with salubrious elm
ate and be furnished with fertile soil.
Pablo sentiment must stand back Of
him, uphold him in his work, encour-
age him in his efforts.
From an address 10y Hon. Emil
Baensch before the Manitowoc County
Teachers Association.

Thirty-two teachers were present at
the meeting at Mishicot last Saturday.
All who were on the program were
present, and there was good discuss
ion on every topic. The debate was
especially interesting. Mr.. Urban fav-
ored the teachers with a few select
ions on his violin. The teachers dis
cussed several of the educational mat
tiers which will come up before our leg
isIature, such as the "Teachers' Pen
sion Bill" "Minimum Salary Law

er's last resort.

Irregular attendance may often be
improved by the teacher If he will but
make some note Of it on the pupils re
port card when he sends it home to be
signed. \ better way would be to go
and see the parents in person. Where
this is not possible letter somewhat
like the following to the parents will
improve matters or at least convey to
the teacher the real cause for the il.

One of LCndon's most interesting
women has been brought into promin
ence by the Turco-Italian outbreak
She is the Princess Eugene Nicphorae
Comnenae-Palaeologae, who claims to
he a direct descendant in an unbroken
line, from the Emperor Constantine
the Great, and a claimant to the an
cient throne of the Byzantine Gaze
sars.
In all that pertains to Greece and its
people Princess Eugene is intensely
interested. Greek po''tics, Greek ga.
therings, and Greek art and culture
arouse in her an intense enthusiasm.
She loves, in particular, 20 dwell upon
the days when her ancestors sat upon
the throne of the Eastern Empire, and
Greek laws and Greek learning served
as a model for all the world.

mediocre position in a mediocre Office
If ones own work is finished, then
help somebody else with hers. The
strikers are always willing to receive
help, provided they get the credit OF
the work. and while this may seem
rather a thankless job, It is infinitely
better than idling
The girl who persistently shows 4
desire to work and to work earnestly
during her office hours has nothing 70
lose, despite the cynical philosophy
of the shirker, and she will surely gain
by this method
Even though her work may not inn
mediately come to the notice Of her
chief sooner or later she will have
created for herself even in the camp
of shirkers, the reputation of an earn
est, conscientious worker, and once she
has established herself on that footing
in an office, it is only matter Of time
until she is picked for a place of re-

THE THRONE OF CONSTANTINOPLE

AS a British subject. ] naturally feel
that the British Government should
support ny claims to the throne of
Constantinople in the event of a parti-
ton of the Ottoman Empire or the
Punishment of Turkish power from
Europe. The present war between
Turkey and Italy may lead to such
result at any time, for the concert of
Europe will not consent to any one of
it's members ruling Constantinople.
an all PROBABILITY a small buffer
State will be formed, with CONSTANT
nople as its capital and an inderendcnt
sovereign as its ruler That will be
my opportunity, for no one can show
stronger claim to the throne of Con
st0ntinople than can. Moreover, the
elevation of a woman to that throne
would furnish the Powers with a sim
pie solution of most complex prob.
lem. At the same time it would tend
to raise the standards of Eastern chiv-
airy and restore the women of the
Orient to their riahtful privileges and
