The public sense of humanity and brotherly instinct is deeply touched this question.

It Is a trait which is exceedingly creditable to a free and liberal people. It is admirable. There Is reason why this trait should not be respected by congress. The questions involved are far different from those presenting themselves In many of the purely administrative affairs of this government. There are Instances where the administrative officers had better have their own way.

In diplomatic affairs and upon questions of a purely departmental nature In which the general public cannot be in position to best judge, popular demands are not alwaya right and cannot usually be safely followed. But here la a question simply treating an adopted people as Americana or as foreigners, end an acquired territory as part of our country or as belonging to some other country. If the people of Puerto Rico are not now Americans, what ere To what power can they look for protection? Of what government are they citizens or subjects? Tne United states or no government. They ere citizens or subjects the United States or else outcasts owing allegiance to nobody and responsible to. nothing.

It is along these lines that the people are considering the Puerto Rlcan question and these lines bring us unerringly free intercourse. Restricted Intercourse violates these accepted conditions and belles the attitude we are as To the Electors of the Eighth Con gressional Trtstrlct: 'At the earnest solicitation of friends throughout this con-gressiontl district, who have urged me to seek the nomination for congress, I have decided to enter the race, end hereby announce my candidacy, subject to the wishee of the Republican congressional convention, to be held at Apple-ton, April 21, In formally announcing myself as a candidate before the convention, I wish to heartily thank ell those who have thus far interested themselves in my be. half, and extend thanks In advance to those whom I know will render assist ance when they learn of my decision.

The March meeting of the current topics department of the Twentieth Century club occurred in the parlors of the First Congregational church, Saturday after noon. The usual business of the meeting was supplemented by the election of Mrs. F. W. Bond as delegate to tha nominat ing convention, with Miss Barden alternate.

A very Interesting program followed, the subject being "Current Science" (applied). Miss Harney presented a very Interesting reading on "Photographing Electricity," some very beautiful illustrations be ing shown. Few realize the enormous service whloh has been rendered to science by photography. She said: "The human eye has certain limitations, perhaps the most notable of these limitations being what may be termed rapidity of vision. We have ail of us experienced the sensation of having our eyes deceived by skillful sleight of hand.

"We know that we are being deceived, yet our eyes do not record the Impression quickly enough to enable us to see what la passing before them. The photographio plate Is different Practically nothing we know of is quick enough to escape It, provided always that the movement takes place In a good light. There Is perhaps no more pleasing feature of scientific research than that there are men who de vote themselves to such Investigations from pure love of the subject. To take but one instance, wa need only note the discoverer of the X-rays. The work on which he was engaged was of interest only to a limited few but a few weeks later the world Is richer for an Invention which has already proved invaluable to medical science.

Electricity is becoming the most useful, as it is the most wonder ful of all the forces man has broken into ubmlsslon and turned to everyday use, though much remains to be yet understood. The scientist referred to In the article is photographing electricity at the moment when It bursts from its natural home the wire. Soma day actual pic tures may be taken of the current as it passes along the wire. No one can say what the value of such pictures would be. They might open up a storehouse of new research and facts, or they might confirm existing theories." Mrs.

Bond gave an account of the util ity of the bicycle in army work, and showed that the machine has been very successfully used by the English in South Africa. She also told of experiments made in sprinkling streets with sea or salt water, by which It is proved that much Is gained in using salt Instead of fresh water for street sprinkling, the salt attracting any moiBture contained In the air, thus preventing rapid evaporation. Sirs. J. H.

Crawford told of a restau rant which has recently been established In the slum district of St. Luke's, Lon don, where excellent meals are served for nine cents. The "Alexander Trust is at the head of tha enterprise, aided by many wealthy personages. Sir Thomas LIpton, of international yacht fame, gave $500,000 to aid In the establishment of the charity, and the prince and princess of Wales recently dined there, unannounced, and found the menu very excellent. They, too, are patrons of this restaurant, where science Is so well applied to cooKery as to enable one to secure a good meal for nine cents.

Oddly enough, another current topic, by Mrs. S. H. Sturtevant, related to photog raphy, and showed how "Our Nearest Neighbor in Space" was discovered. Thi3 new and most singular little member of the solar family was quite recently discovered by Gustav Witt, a German as tronomer.

Up to the middle of 1S38 no fewer that 432 lesser planets had been dis covered, the existence of the first of these, Ceres, having been proved by I'iazzl on ths first night of the present century. No. iS3, one of the greatest astronomical finds of recent years, is a small planet, and Ilerr Witt found It by a photograph of the heavens which ha took a few months since. When he came to examine this nartlcular nlata he at once detected a planet, by its characteristic streak mark on the plate. Proceeding to compare it with a list of the planets already discov ered, he found, after gome calculation, that it had never before been recognized as a planet.

The Importance of the discovery lies in the fact that Eros, as the professor calls it, moving around tho sun in the space between the earth and Mars for the greater part of Its orbit, is our nearest planotary neighbor in the whole host of heaven. Before the discovery of Eros, the planet which approached near est to the earth was Venus atcertaln times Venus is miles from the earth therefore Eros approaches the earth more nearly thin Venus ever can by U.OOO.OuO miles and more nearly than Mars by miles, Eros la one of the smallest bodies In the solar system, the diameter being estimated at seventeen miles, and is not visible to the naked eye. Its unique interest Is that It comes nearer to us than any other body except the moon, and as the moon Is our satellite, it Is only nat ural that we should think of Eros with livelier feelings of interest than we do on the "queen of the night" Sir Robert Ball has calculated that if the moon were cut Into one million parts each part would be twice as big as Eros. The speaker of the house Is usually man's wlXs I used to hold her in my arms, And swing her to and fro, And praise her for her baby charms, But that was long ago. Ah, that was long ago!

What wa want now is a man who Is acceptable to the entire Republican party. If such a man be Stebblns or Bradford or Krautzer, let him be nominated and he will be elected. We have no particular objection to Long Jones, even though he is a recent importation from Illinois. It may be an objection to Senator Stebblns that he voted against the anti-pass bill.

Bo far as we are concerned, this Is no objection. In fact, we rather like him for standing up for what he thought was right In the face of the popular sentiment In favor of the bill. Such a man, if elected, would be, in fact, governor of the state. Omro Herald.

66. OSHKOSH WISCONSIN. MONDAY, (MARCH 19, 1900. Exit Sheldon. 1 The Sheldon experiment has ended and left a row behind it among the tockholders of The Topeka Capital.

The week closed with two Issues on Saturday, the usual morning- edition, and another edition printed at five o'clock to take the place of the regular Sunday morning issue and, as Mr. Sheldon announced, prepared especially for Sunday reading. The Saturday morning issue starts off with a boxed quotation beginning, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." In the center of the page Is a boxed poem two columns wide entitled "If Christ Should Come Today." The three principal needed articles in tne nrst page are devoted to Sunday observance, the story of a christian dally published in Mon treal, and a story of 'the Sunday schools of Kansas. There Is nothing on the first page but matter pertaining to religious subjects. The other portions of the paper are much like the preceding issues, the news features being cut to the smallest limit.

The Saturday afternon Issue for Sunday reading is the flattest specimen of a newspaper ever issued. It contains not a line of telegraph, local or editorial except a boxed double column card on the first page signed by Sheldon in which he makes excuses for this issue and tells how a good Sunday paper might be issued on Saturday afternoon. He tells how he thinks it might be done but signally fails in Illustrating it in his own case. This Issue con tains four pages of advertising and four pages of reading matter. The first, second and third pages and a column and a halt on the fourth page are devoted entirely to extracts from the bible classified under topics, and the remainder of the fourth page Is devoted to bible Not one reader in ten thousand will read ten lines or it, excepting perhaps, Sheldon's signed excuse for printing what any one may read in the new testament.

And to end it an the sensational experiment and colossal failure has left a hot row among the stockholders, which Is scarcely the thing Jesus would approve of and which is likely to undo all the christianizing Influences the whole advertising scheme has exerted. Deceived by the enormous circulation which this week's experiment has brought to the paper and the eheckels that have rolled Into the counting room from merely curious people all over the country, those stockholders who are In It for the money desire to keep the sensation up, while the professional newspaper stockholders, the editor-in-chief and the business manager, regard such a course as ridiculous and will have nothing to do with it Some of the opposition stockholders threaten to apply to the courts for an injunction to restrain the other stockholders from continuing the paper as a christian dally, should the majority so decide, on the ground that it would be impairing the value of the stock. The matter is to be fought out at a meeting of stockholders today, and whichever way the matter is decided there will probably be bad feeling and possibly litigation. Puerto Rico and the People. The Republican senators have arranged for a series of conferences on the Puerto TUco tariff and governmental bills in hopes of arriving at compromises that will be satisfactory to the senators and that will insure the passage of the bills.

The tariff and governmental bills are to be kept separate In order that one shall not encumber the other, and that each may be considered on its merits. The people are less in terested just now in the governmental 11U than they are in the tariff bill. It Is taken for granted that Puerto Rico will be given the best and most liberal ter-rltorlal government that the clrcum stances and conditions there will admit of. But the people generally do not feel that tns isiana enouia De made a part of this tountry In its governmental re lationaJ ana ft foreign country in its commercial relations. The two are In consistent from an American stand point.

The supporters of the present tariff bill give very able excuses for such a measure. They point out that this is the best and easiest way of raising needed revenue for the time being. They tell us that free trade will put millions of dollars into the hands of speculators who have bought up the last two crops of the island. They assure us that when the public comes to think over this matter it will recover from the hysteria now so epidemic. But the American public is a sentimental Cost Is never considered In the face of friendship.

Patriotic set-tlments of brotherhood stand above all considerations of speculation or filthy revenues. The American people have had It in their minds to welcome the Puerto Rlcans as their brothers' and fellow citizens of a common country, and this is the Inspiration which resents the slightest interference with on no of of to it a omen weary from pain and the torture of over-taxed nerves, it is but natural that you should be low-spirited and dejected.

The sun rises In the morning on one Filipino woe and sets In the evening on another, so fast they follow at the nation's capital. The shrillest try against "Uncle Sam's" cruel oppression of the mild and dusky Tagal Is caused by the refusal of the authorities to permit a philanthropic impresario of San Francisco to bring to this country and hurl In competition against every other strolling band of minstrels the Filipino National band. It is said that It Is the most famous organization of horn blowers and cymbal beaters In all the orient, and that It has seventy members, "every one of whom Is a soloist." When the haughty agent of the treasury department at San Francisco Interpreted the immigration laws against tho Filipino National band, straight to Washington came the philanthropic impresario. He has been here ever since. He haunts the capitol in search of some Californlan statesman to take up the cause of the Filipino Na tional band; he haunts the white house grounds to lay his plaint at the feet of the president, and he haunts the treasury building In the hope or meet ing Secretary Gage so as to pour Into the ears of that official the woes of the Filipino musio makers.

He has about given up In despair. iBut when he leaves Washington he will go back to the boundless west an uncompromising enemy of the administration which he helped to put in power. Washington Letter. GEN. mm DEAD.

Tanner, Herbert Battles, Kaukauna, born February 13, 1859, at Whitewater, la a son of Ford and Mary Ann (Battles) Tanner; grandson of Cuy-ler Tanner, M. of New York, who was a surgeon in the patriot army during the war of 1813, his certificate of service bearing date of April 1S14, and who died In 1857; grandson of Jason D. Battles, cM. of Boston, who settled in Illinois in early life, commenced the study of medicine at the age of forty years, graduating at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1848, and died at Grlggsville, 111., in 1890, aged ninety years.

The sen' tors desire to arrange the tariff bill so will be satisfactory to enough of them to secure Its passage. It may satisfy the senators, but will it satisfy the people? The people may acquiesce in tariff, but they will not be satisfied. They may put up with It, but they will not endorse it.

They may not care to politically defeat the party and men who impose this foreignlsm upon 'Puerto Rico, but they will criticise them and will not defend the act It seems that they have a sort of Goebel law governing the municipal elections in St. Louis. The legislature passed the lav and the supreme court has decided it to be valid. Something of the nature of It can be gleaned from the following from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "The voters of this city now know the conditions under which they must vote this year.

A board of three men has charge of the election machinery. All were appointed by the governor. Two are Democrats. The third Is an alleged Republican. The governor's word must be taken for that.

He made the selection. In registering the voter deals with Democrats. His vote may be struck oft by Democrats, and Demo- crats alone can restore it At the polls the Judges and clerks will be Demo. crats and alleged Republicans selected by Democrats. The law absolutely fences oft the Republican party from any share In the control of elections as tar as its own organization is concerned.

No Republican is permitted to be a Judge or clerk, except by Demo eratic choice. Under the former law the Republican election officers were nominated by the mayor, and all nominations were subject to the approval of the circuit Judges. Rut this Judicial ap. proval is no longer necessary and no Republican nominated can pass except by Democratic consent" A Milwaukee man named Welmann in filing a petition to be relieved from paying further alimony to hl9 divorced wife sets forth in affidavits a curious condition of family affairs. He shows that his father alienated his wife's affections, and only a few days after the di vorce was granted the father married the son's wife.

The divorced parties had a child Marie, which the court gave to the mother. The mother now having married her divorced husband's father, a curious condition of relation ship follows. Little Marie Is now the step daughter of her grandfather and therefore the step-sister of her own father, while the younger Welmann Is the step-son of his former wife. Mrs. Welmann is thus her own child's grandmother and Mr.

The elder Welmann Is his son's daughter's fa- ther.and his daughter-in-law la his own wife. The contest for the Republican nomi nation for mayor in Milwaukee was practically settled before the convention met today which proved a mere for.

TMestreet car Issue Is overshadowing all others and it Is now probable that the candidate for mayor will withdraw and support Baumgaertner. Tha Dally News (inde pendent.) gives Baumgaertner little short of positive endorsement while attempting to occupy the position of a dis interested spectator. All signs seem to point favorably toward Baumgaertner's election. As another illustration of the confusion arising from the use of the editorial "we," the following from The La Crosse Chronicle, edited by a bachelor, is a brilliant specimen: "Since those triplets were born on the north side there ie a very envious feeling In Oshkosh.and In other places where the hope had spread that La Crosse was not holding up in popula tion.
