THE WAR IS OVER.
As we go to press, cablegrams from
Paris announce the acceptance by
Spain of America’s fiaal terms of
peace. Tr a document of only three hun
dred ?o r Js are the stipulations con
tained. The conditions conceded are:
The relinquishment of Cnba and the
cession of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines by Spain to the United States.
We pay, not as an indemnity, but as a
liquidation of debts incurred for “muni
cipal improvements,” twenty million
dollars. The impres on prevails that
in two or three week., the peace com
mission will close up its work and return
home. The final treaty of peace - Spain
having accepted its terms—will have to
be drawn op with great care in order to
secure to the United States a resumption
of commercial relations with Spain od
an equal footing with other nations.
Whilst accepting the terms of peace,
Spain asserts her rejection of the “prin
ciplee” on which those terms are based.
We as victors can afford to and should
be magnanimous and indulge in neither
recrimination nor unworthy and un
seemly parade of our tria&ph in a
righteous cause. In the vigor and
enthusiasm of on' natural and laudable
s-If-congratulations we should not forget
to yield in ungrudging measures both
praise and gratitude to President Wm
McKinley, whose fervent patriotism and
unceasing watchfulness have so largely
contributed in conducting a victorious
war, in the cause of humanity to the
full sunlight of a glorious, honorable,
and we hope and believe, a lasting peace.
WILL STAND NO HEDGING.
Fennimore Times: Both the repub
lican and democratic members of the
next assembly and senate are to be
solely responsible to the people of this
state if legislation is not enacted next
winter which is in absolute harmony
with the various identical planks of the
republican and democratic plarforms.
In many respects the platform of the
democratic party was similar to th
platform upon which the republican
pnrty stands in this state, therefore
there sh uld be no dodging on the part
of the democrats when the questions
arise relating to the abolishment of free
passes and franks to state officers, the
enactment of anew primary or caucus
law, aid the proper assessment of rail
roads, sleeping car and express com
p mies.
And, while there should be no dodg
ing on the part of the democrats, the
republican members should also bear in
mind that under no circumstances will
the republicans of Wisconsin counten
ance anything on their part that looks
like hedging on the above issues. The
issues, as far as outlined, are already
practically closed to discussion: all that
is required is their passage and publi
cation.
PATRONAGE, NOT PRINCIPLES.
The democratic party as managed
and conducted the past three years, can
not properly be considered as a political
party. There were certain propositions
and governmental theories which the
old-time democracy always asserted in
their plat'orms and fought for at the
polls. But these ideas and policies have
no recognition or advocacy by the pres
ent people who dictate the weys and
fortunes of the so-called democratic
party. On the contrary all sorts of fads
and isms are picked up and exploited;
not because they are believed in as
representing permanent and desirable
things in government, but rather be
cause it is hoped that they may catch
the popular favor and win success at the
polls. These leaders are really prose
cuting a business enterprise; they are
making of the party a colossal specula
tive concern, whose sole objeot in ex
istence is to bring to its promoters the
control and disposition of the vast
official patronage of the country. That
is all there is of it and it is the solid
truth in a nutshell.—Whitewater Reg
ister.
IMPOSITION OF TAXES IN SPAIN.
Chaplain Butters, of Tomah, who
served with the Third regiment in the
Spanish-American war, is giving a popu
lar lecture on his findings abroad. On
the matter of taxation in Spain he says:
It has been known in a general way
that Spain taxes her colonies outrage
ously, but we do not thick the method
of levying and collecting has been well
understood. Taxes on crops are levied
and oolleotej when the crops are plant
ed, Spain takiDg no chanoes on crop
failures or low prices for the crops. The
rate of taxation is graded, not according
to the value of the orop, but is made
highest on products that can be raised
in Spain, to discourage their growth in
the colonies and force the colonists to
buy from Spain. Potatoes, for instance,
are taxed so high that none are raised
on the island of Porto Rico. There is a
tax of $lO imposed on each wheel of a
wagon when built, and improvements
are taxed when made. Thus all private
improvements are discouraged.

Personal and General Notes Concerning
the Soldiers.
Company “M” Fourth Wisconsin Regiment
Camp Shipp, Anniston Ala., Nov. 21,1H98.
Fkiend Munson: We are moved into
our new camp and the buys are very
comfortably situated indeed. They all
have a fire to get around now and much
more room to take care of their things.
Tuey could not be much more pleased
over their new houses if they each had
a brown stone front. Oliver Helgeson
is much better and says be feels as if he
was well enough to get out, but his
docioie thick differently. His tempera
ture is about normal and if bis case wbr
typhoid it was certainly a very mild
form. We all rejoice, however, that it
was no worse. Sergeant Mitchell is
nearly rosdy to return to the com any.
An Anniston lady sent u > a nice lot of
flowers, for the Wisconsin sick. Sunday
Private Isaao G. Shreve has been
summoned borne by the serious illness
of hie mother. Hospital Stewart Herry
S. MorrisoD, has gone home on a fur
lough. The writer has a five days’
leave and will visit Atlants, and porhaps
Montgomery on a sight-seeing trip and
to meet Otto Brown, who plays with
the Hoyt Milk White Flag Company, in
Atlanta, the 23d and 24th.
Thanksgiving is near at hand and
will probably pass off as quietly io camp
as an ordinary day. We feel that we
have much to be thankful for. We are
thankful that we have no more sickness
than we have in our company and that
what we have is no worse than it is, and
we are certainly thankful that the boys
have a fire to get around when the
“Sunny South” catches old, as it does
occasionally. Many of the boys of the
southern regiments are going horn for
Thanksgiving, but our boys are too far
away to stand such a luxury. Company
H, of Milwaukee, received SIOO from
home with which toecjov Thanksgiving
and they are going to Birmingham for
dinner. Many localities and individuals
are sending b ixes from the north for a
Thanksgiving feast. We have ordered
one hundred pounds of turkeys and wi I
see that everybody gets a charge for
one meal at least.
The papers this morning say pence
negotiatijns are broken off, and if tk’B
is true don’t be surprised to hear of us
being headed fcr somewhere before very
long. Respectfully,
Jackson Silbaugh.
Tobacco Information Here and Else
where.
Growers in this section had commenced
to remove their tobacco from the pulls,
when the zero weather of last week came
upon them, which of course caused all
operations to cease. Of the tobacco
conditions elsewhere the EJgerton Re
porter says:
Very little of the ’£B orop has been re
moved from the curing sheds so far this
fall. The hanging tobacco bus come in
to case several times since it was cured,
but the growers have bean so busy with
other farm work that they could not
spare the time to attend to their tobacco
until the other crops were secured. The
time has arrived now, however, when a
considerable portion wonld be removed
from the poles in the advent of casing
weather. The longer the tobacco re
mains in the sheds after it has cured
the more casing weather is required to
bring the leaf into pliable condition. It
is this fact doubtless that leads growers
to often permit their tobacco to reach
too high a case, a danger that needs be
carefully avoided. This is especially
true in a season when the 1 af is thin in
texture and more liable to damage like
the present one. The writer believes be
is doing a kindness n keeping this mat
ter prominently in view. Beware of too
high case.
The indications are much more favor
able now for a general movement of the
'9B crop than any time since buying
commenced this season. Evidently the
growers have be*n looeicg up in their
asking prices somewhat for considerable
tobacco has been bought lately under
the six cent mark, which it seemed im
possible to do a few weeks ago. There
are p'enty of buyers ready to take the
field whenever they c>n gain an intelli
gent idea of what the tobacco is like.
Some even havn’t waited and more sales
have been made of late than is gener
ally known for buyers who are out and
have not b?en idle by any means.
Prices range all the way from one to
six cents; four to five being about the
average. Some offers are being made
on filler portions of the new crop, but
growers generally are not disposed to
separate them from the crop.
Property Changes In Vernon.
To Deputy Register of Deeds, T. O.
Mork, the Censor is indebted for a state,
ment of the real estate sold during the
past year. The whole number of acres
transferred was 19,352, with a consid
eration of $255,009. The assessed valu
ation of this property was placed at
$80,619, Average selling price pet
acre sl3 18; average assessed valuation
per acre $4 17. Whole number of vil
lage lots sold 90; consideration $40,714
Average per lot $452 38. Total assessed
valuation sl3,4Bs;average assessed valu
ation $149.82. These figures do not in
clude lands and lots described in the
deeds by meets and bounds. The law
provides that the register shall not enter
these sales in bis annual stat ment. We
may also sav that very many sales are
not reported on account of the fact that
many neglect to record their deeds.
When we add these transfers, which are
quite a per cent of the whole, we must
conclude that the real estate changes in
Vernon county reach fignres quite be
yond our comprehension.

Iti I-nw with Reference to Truancy.
The Censor, last week, referred to the
appointment of Marshal Johnson as
; truant officer by the city board of edu
cation. It is right and proper that the
board should enforce the law as far as
practical, with reference to attendance
upon school. The young boys who
have oeen ia the habit of daily loafing
about our streets will, in years to come,
tbauk the t fficers for their interest in
their welfare.
The law provides that any person
having under his cor trol any child be
tween the ages of r.even and thirteen
years shall cause such child to attend
some pub'icor private school for at least
twelve weeks in each school year, pro
vided, that ibis shall not apply to any
child who is being otherwise instructed
in the elementary branches of learning
for a like period, of who has already
acquired such knowledge, or whose men
tal or physical condition is such as to
render his attendance at Bchool and
application to study inexpedient or im
practicable, or who lives more than two
miles fiom any sohoc l by the nearest
traveled road, or who is excused for
sufficient reasons by any court of record
Any person who shall violate shall for
| feit not less than three dollars nor more
than twenty dollars for each offense.
It ehall be the duty of the director
or the president of any board of ednca
lion, or any truant officer appointed by
such board of education, to sue for any
forfeiture ULdir the preceding section,
and any such officer neg ecling so .0 do
within fifteen days after a written no
tice Las been served upon him by a
qualified elector or taxpayer within the
district, village or city ail bin which the
offending person shall reside shall him
self be liable to a foifeitnre of not less
than ten nor more tLan twiniy dollars
for each offense. t
The board of education or the district
board may appoint one or more truan
officers, whose duty it shall be, acting
discreetly, to apprehend upon view all
children beteen seven and thirteen years
of age who habitually fr*quent or loiter
about public places and have no lawful
occupation, and p’aoe such children,
when so apprehended, in such schools
as the parent or other person having the
Control of such children may designate.
And such officers shall report all csee

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew woree. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consumption;
she bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefi ed from first dose.
She continued its use and after taking
six bottles found herself sound and well;
now does her own housework and is as
well as she ever was. Free trial bottles
of this great discovery at Craig & Co’s,

A WORD WITH DELINQUENTS.
This is the season of year for equaling
of accounts. The Censor has on its
books many subscribers who are from
one to ten years in arrears. All such
we most certainly desire shall remit be
fore January first. We send statements
to those who reside without the county.
Home people are requested to send or
bring their delinquencies to the office.
The printed tag on your paper tells to
what date your paper is paid —“1 Jan’y
’9B” means that your subscription is one
year in arrears. While you are in the
act, we will not be displeased if you send
or bring the price for one year in advance.
This notice is not published to take up
space, but to remind del’cquents what
we desire and expect of them.

■Cobbed itie Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, whs the
subject, is narrated by him & s follows:
“I was in n most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Electric
Bitters,’ and to my great joy and sur
prise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their nee for
three weeks, and am now e well man.
I know they saved my life, and robbed
the grave of another victim.” No or.®
should fail to try them. Only 50 ceno

Advice to
Consumptives
There are three great reme
dies that every person with
weak lungs,or with consump
tion itself, should understand.
These remedies will cure
about every case in its first
stages ; and many of those
more advanced. It is only
the most ad’. *nced that are
hopeless. liven these are
wonderfully relieved and life
itself greatly prolonged.
What are these remedies ?
Fresh air. proper food and
Scoffs fwMrn
of Cod Liver C.l with Hypo
phosphites 13e afraid of
draughts but not of fresh air.
Eat nutritious food and drink
plenty of milk. Do not fc r get
that Scott’s Emulsion is the
oldest, the most thoroughly
tested and the highest en
dorsed of all remedies for
weak titioats, weak lungs and
consumption in all its stages.
