I CARTERS rHTTLE (OVER PILLS centennial circular No. 4, issued by the State Historical society. The purport of these circulars is to give suggestions to local historians in view of the proposed observances of the State-Centennial anniversary at Madison, in June. Archiaeologists, biologists, zoologists, and other ologists are invited to make examinations and collections to swell the great ex hibit at the state capitol. This is all very well, but again we must enter a mild protest against this mania for hoarding so much useless lumber.

Better the whole past might be swept away, and each generation be compelled to bury and destroy whatever it had produced before being permitted to leave the stage. When we quit a house we are expected to make it clean for the next occupant. Why ought we not to leave a clean world for the next generation? Hoarding all this rubbish entails enormous expense, and what good does it do? The living should be preferred before the dead. It would be much more to the purpose to erect a good canning factory in every county in the state, than waste money in musty files, and fossils, and mounds, and cracked pottery, of no earthly use to anyone. Leader, Eau Claire.

Is It To Be War? The situation is about this If Spain's false and beggar pride won't permit her to be reconciled to tate or to see where her only salvation lies, to wit, in letting go of Cuba at the best, terms she can get; if Spain's creditors and the governments of Europe can not influence her for her own good and to avoid a course that leads but to destruction, there will be war. The war will not come over the Maine. That seems settled; but over Uuba. The administration. the public is informed, has decided upon its course and, while hoping to avoid war, will persist in course no matter what the outcome.

That plan is to give sub- s. stantial, material aid to the Cubans to give them food, clothing, seed and tools and place them back upon their farms ready to begin the battle of life anew, This7 of course is "intervention" and of a most humiliating nature. If Spain's pride withstands that shock, there seems little to fear. But if she proves hostile, force will be used in the distribution of the charity and force is war. The outcome depends on Spain and a fortnight will develop her decision.

Oshkosh Times. Chippewa Independent, Dem. More in sorrow than in anger have we read the attacks that have appeared from time to time in the Green Bay Advocate on ex-Gov. George W. Peck.

They are cer tainly uncalled for. Gov. Peck, in his four years as chief executive of the commonwealth, made a record that every Democrat in the state can point to with pride. It was clean and the most economi cal ever made by a governor since the state was organized. "She death of Mr.

But through all this confusion there can be very easily traced one definite plan of action on the part of Wall street to prevent a war at all hazards and at any depth of national disgrace and dishonor which such a transaction might plunge the country. The motive that actuates these unpatriotic citizens is one that cannot be endorsed by those who believe in national honor and patriotism, but must be ascribed to the basest of passions greed of money, which, like Aaron's rod, swallows up all else.i This is to be expected of Wall street. Its record is too well known to look for anything But it is hardly thought possible that the president of the United States, the head of the army and navy, would lend him self to any such plan. That he 1 has done so cannot be questioned as it is too well shown by his every act since he was inaugurated to the high office of chief magistrate of this republic; He has shut his ears to the cries of the suffering in Cuba, for fear that any act of his might lead to trou ble wjith Spain with a consequent shrinkage in Spanish bonds and a depreciation of watered stock. Since the tension between the countries has become more pronounced, he has still been found halting and hesitating, and now that we are on the very eve of wari we find that we are not prepared, and are actually in danger of being whipped and our fleet either captured or swept from the sea and our poorly provided coasts left open to the foe to attack at their leisure.

The picture is not a pleasant one to look upon, but it is true in every detail, and the president and his admirers working under the dictation of Wall street are responsible for it. Times, Racine. SICK FORTY YEAR Suffered a Lifetime with Dyspepsia and is Cured at Sixty, An Old Man's Warning. Two score years of dyspepsia! Ycu who are suffering now, think what orty years of that means! An old man of sixty who knows what means writes this letter to save others such an experience. lie told us to publish it wherever humanity suffers, tie says, "Let other len know in their youth what I sough' a lifetime, and only found when I wa -ixty." His name is D.

Taylor, of Tyrone, and he Writes in part as follows, aider date of Oct. 31st, 1895. "For forty years I suffered all the time v.th; flatulent dyspepsia. About the mid-Je of last June I began taking Dr. Shoop's estorative, continuing to take it until uy sixtieth birthday, Sept.

22nd. I for- ot to take it once or twice then, and that I was cured. Since that time I have never been troubled with dyspepsia." i 1 Dr. Shoop's Restorative cured his in side 1 nerves- the nerves that no other medicine ever doctored. Those strengthened nerves set the glands of the stomach working right.

Medicines made of pepsin and bismuth will relieve while they last. They supply part I of the fluid that the glands of the stomach should furnish. They create artificial digestion that lasts only while the medicine lasts. They must be taken every day and forever. Butnobody ever cured dyspepsia, with-out curing those nerves.

Take that old man's warning who tried it for forty years. Write for Dr. Shoop's book on dyspepsia. He spent a lifetime in finding a medicine to cure it. The book is free.

The message of the president greatly disappointed the people and unfavorable comments are to outline a definite administration policy and the apparent disposi tion to temporize and delay has caused, revulsion of feeling and great indignation. Members of House and Senate, (not the Jing type) expressed regret at the lack 'of spirit and strength of the President's message and are out- 1 Ppncilon t'c plan to provide relief to Cubans, unless there is genuine intervention.

-It is to be deplored that a Jackson or a Cleveland, with backbone and a vigorous American spirit, does not occupy the White-house. Unless the next message which may go to the senate today is far more definite congress can no Torigefbe held in check. Representative Minorhas the following to say concerning the message: "I aux disappointed in the action of the president in submitting the testimony of the Board of Inquiry to tbelsenate alone. I believe the house of representatives has shown Jtseif tobe a conservative, safe and judicious body, and we were entitled to that consideration from the executive. I regard the message as" a very weak document that will hardly be satisfactory to the people.

He says that he has sent two communications to Spain and the evidence of the court. We have no means of knowing the tenor of those communications or what Spain intends to do. If the communications sent to Spain are firm in 'tone and character, it is possible -I that Spain may declare war at any moment, and with the approach of the torpedo fleet, the situation is grave and serious. I hope that" the day is not far off when the president will warn Spain that she must cease her barbarous warfare in the Island of Cuba. I hope that when the time comes he will back it up with the army and navy of the United States.

I would also demand indemnity-from Spain for the loss of the battleship, and also for the relief of, the sufferers and for the heroes who died for the Congressman Cooper said that he objected to the part of the message which indicated that the president has confidence in the good faith'of the Spanish government to dd the right thing in -the premises, and said he wished the president had confined himself solely tosaying'that the facts contained in-the report has been laid before Spanish government. Mr. Cooper added that in regard to the report that the president would ask-for a relief fund, he did not believe such a bill would pass congressunless it was accompanied with a plan for intervention. "I favor Cuban independence with intervention, and I hope the administration will carry out that policy. I believe that promptly upon our recognizing Cuba, Eng.

land will do the Representative Griffin said that the message was essentially very disappointing, and would to make many people throughbut the country believe that the adminis. spirit which, permeates the people in general over the entire Cuban situation. Representative Barney believes the country is tired of waiting and the destruction of the Maine is sufficient to warrant us in taking de cisive action at The message should have been firmer in tone. The president should have advised congress more in detail of what his note to Spain contained and what the future policy of the. administration is to be.

If we appropriate money for the relief of starving Cubans, we should at the same time recognize the independence of Cuba. Representative Otjen says the time for action, has arrived.

The pension-commissioner wants it distinctly understood I that if any pensioner should enter the army or navy, he thereby forfeits his pension. If such is the! law, or if it is an arbitrary regulation established by the pension bufeau, in either case congress should promptly repeal the law or turn down the regulation While it is true that not one old soldier lin a thousand could pass; an examination for active but nearly half of theha could take care of the forts and the! federal property, on the Canadian frontier and in the interior of the United States, and thus permit the regulars now on duty ati those ppsts, and the National Guards 'to jtake the field, and guard the fortifications on the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Small Pill. Small Dose. Small PricOr The present Republican city administration came into power a year ago with a high and mighty flourish for progress and plenty of public improvements. Lo, the year has passed and what is the harvest? The Inter-Urban was tracked down a main thoroughfare, ruining it for traffic, and public improvements side tracked down the back entry of time. Of "course with few public improvements the taxes are much lower and easier to pay? Oh my, no; not at all.

Taxes about as high as they usually are under Republican rule. Hence the kick, and it is'a legitimate kick. The Republicans manage municipal affairs on a political basis, which is wasteful. Democrats have always managed municipal affairs in Appleton on a business basis, which is economical. That is the history of the two parties in Appleton.

Republicans "ran the machine" three years wide open, spent money needlessly, foolishly and wastefully result: enormously high taxes and a bonded indebtedness. Then, for the last year, almost nothing in the way of improvements was done but the same old -high taxes greet the householder. Blowing the funds like mad and then of a sudden shutting off all expenditures is a crazy method or in other words a Republican method, which shows a woeful lack of ability to say the least. The rational method, as pursued by the Democrats, produced as valuable public improvements as ever instituted by the opponents who are now in the saddle, but were never accompanied by high taxes. Representative Minor, of this district, does not propose to be governed by the Wall street agents of foreign bond holders in matters relating to Cuba, and the Spanish destruction of the Maine, even though he defends their position on the money staudard of the United States; and accordingly he disapproves the time serving policy of the president.

Mr. Minor knows full well that not one in a thousand of his constituents upholds and defends the course of McKinley in reference to the Maine and the starvation of a quarter of a million combatants in Cuba. A few days will demonstrate whether the president's policy of "peace at any price," demanded of him by the sky locks of Wall street, is to be tamely, sub milted to by Theo.
