POLITICAL NOTES AND COMMENTS.


The editor Of the Oconomowoc (Wls.) Times pro-
poses to get up another new party. II it adopts
the name OF the place OF It's origin it will make a
"whacking" party
The CentralIa Ql) Democrat calls attention to
the Casey family. Sam Casey is State Senator from
the Third district; Dr. N. r. Casey is Representative
elect from Pulaski and Monroe; Colonel Tom Casey
younger brother STILL is Representative from Jerer
son, and Sam Dwight, nephew Of the Caseys, is
Representative from Marion.
The Belvldere IN. J.) Journal says:-"Among the
probable candidates for the United States Senator

Shipman, OF Belvidere, and John Blair, Of Blars

The Chicago Times states that the aggregate OF
democratic gains in the recent elections In Illinois
amounts to over 4, 600. In o few counties there
were small democratic losses, and corresponding
radical galns but the aggregate OF these Is TOO
small to alter the great significance OF the general
fact.
It's suggestive fact that i. Gratz Brown. one OF
the foremost champions OF negro suffrage In
Missouri, was saved from defeat by negro Suffrage

COuxrOny-Th0 HroSlOcutS mcBSa86s
The two houses Of Congress will reasonable
in the national Capitol on Monday next, 'the
first Monday in December" It is the last
session of the Forty-first Congress, and session
and Congress go out on the 4th of March next,
at noon, when (unless meantime the law is
repeatedly the new Congress will assemble.
The two houses Of the present Congress ara
fully organized, so that with quorum In each
ON Monday they will be at once ready for
business. There win doubtless, in each house,
be quorum, and, If so, our readers may look
for the Presidents Message Monday after
noon.
What will the Message be as a State paper,
good bad or Indifferent? Will 1t be long and
dry or short and crisp? Will 1t be peace
message or war message? Will it be a
stand-still or q go-ahead messenger Will
General Grant have anything to recommend
of any great Importance in our domestic or
foreign affairs, or will he be content to report
the workings Of the several executive depart
ments for the last twelve months Qncluding
the McGarrahan claim, with the recommends
tions Of his Secretaries for certain secondary
measures of Legislation?
We don't know. We dare say, however,
that the Message will not be long and
dry, but short and as clear and
crisp as new national bank note.
We dare say it will open with an appropriate
thanksgiving preamble; that in the workings
of the several departments it will give fatter-
ing exhibit of the management of our domestic
affairs, including the Treasury, Post Office,
army, navy, the public domain, the Mormons,
Indians, niggcrs and the Ku Klux Khan. We
hope that the President will haye some
practical and seasonable recommendations to
make touching the regulation of the currency,
our shipping interests, the postal telegraph
and a reduction of our taxes; and we are half
inclined to suspect that he will say something
Domingo, Mexico, Central America and ship
canal, and about Canada, the fisheries and those
Alabama claims. We can't think that General
Butler has been beating these bushes without
hint that there is some game in them
worth stirring out.
AT any rate, as General Grant has been for
a week or two hard at work upon his Message,
reading reports and taking notes and smoking
cigars eight or ten hours day, we expect
his Message will be ready on Monday for sub
mission to the two houses of Congress, and
that within few hours from the reading in
Congress its salient points will be discussed
by the Tammany Sachems in New York, by
Andy Johnson in Tennessee, by Brigham
Young at Salt Lake City, by Queen Victoria
in Windsor Castle, by King William at Yer
sales Cf not in the Tuileries), by Napoleon at
Wilhelmshohe Gf not in Berlin), and by the
Governor General of India at Calcutta-whose
fat pickings, they say, amount to one hundred
and eighty thousand pounds sterling year,
which is little ahead of Grants five thousand
as President of the United States.

Coop SENSE FROM New JERSEY. The
Trenton State GQsette (republcan) relieves
the anxiety of the Paterson Guardian in
contesting the seat of Mr.. Forker (democraD
in Congress, and adds:-"Ex-G Governor Newell
has never had any thought Of contesting the
election Of Mr.. Forker and the rumor that
has obtained currency to that effect is entirely
unauthorized and unfounded." Mr.. Forker
may therefore 'rest easy in his boots" and
those who have made bets that Governor
Newell wculd contest the seat Of Forker had
better ''fork over"

For the second time since the war in
Europe begun we have report OF the
attempted assassination of King William. o.
the first occasion the would-be regcide was
said to be Frenchman; this time he is a
Bavarian soldier. Nothing is said regarding
the motives which prompted the South Ger
man to raise his sacrilegious hands against a
monarch ruling by divine right. We expect
however, that the reported attempt will prove
as false as did the nrst story Of the same kind.

Ing to resrace her steps and make the
best OF her folly. The many millions which
the British government spent in humbling
Russia in 1876, and which now weigh heavily
upon the necks Of her overburdened and impov-
erished people, are to-day proved to have been
spent In vain. Then she spent her millions in
company with powerful alliance. A war
with Russia to-day would cost her more; and
the results, both Immediately and pros
pectively would be infinitely more fruitless, If
not infinitely more disastrous. Taking into
consideration the sentiments of Queen
Victoria, the sentiments of the most prominent
men of the three kingdoms, and remembering
the sentiments of Mr.. Gladstone when he
spoke Of Turkey as an ally, recalling the
memory Of Anchises on the back Of Eneas,
when they escaped from burning Troy, we
cannot doubt that this fresh war fever Is ended,
and that the London conference will give the
nations new point Of departure.
1t is scarcely possible that the conference
will meet before the LIST Of January. In that
case the French war will be ended-Germany
and France will have come to some satisfac-
tory arrangement. AS the treaties Of 1914,
1916, 1922, 1882 and 1856 are no longer
binding, let us hope that the treaty of 1871
will be of such o nature that the Old World
will have peace for another couple of decades
1t is gratifying to know that Russia asks only
for the abrogation Of the obnoxious clauses Of
the Treaty Of Paris which shut her out Of the
Black Sea. Russia as Christian Power is
the hope Of all the East. and whatever be
the ultimate fate Of Turkey, all Christian
peoples must rejoice in any arrangement
which shall hasten the triumph of the religion
of Jesus. Russia denies all aggressive inten-
tions. She asks only for fair play, and she
must have 1t.

EARL GRANVILLE insists, as we are informed
by a very late cable despatch, that France
shall be represented in any congress which
may be assembled for the treatment of the
Eastern question. If such an event should
take place the war between Prussia and France
would Of course be ended. What France
should we have afterwards Will the royalists
acknowledge the republic and revolution, or
attempt . restoration Of Imperialism Serious

THE NATIONAL IMauG RATION CONVENTION
Indianapolis papers are discussing the late
National Immigration Convention in that city,
and are especially severe upon the delegation
from this city, who are regarded as the repre-
sentatives of the ''Tammany Regency" If it
had not been for the so-called Tammany dele
gates the affair would have been failuro-a
laundering mummy grafton instead of immi-
grafton convention-without head or tail.

Tammany candidate, John Carey, has been

the republican candidate, will therefore have
to take another opportunity.

LAST WEEK family Of five persons, living
near Polosi, No., were murdered, under the
most revolving circumstances. On Saturday
the murderers were arrested and confined in
the Potosi prison. About one o'clock Sunday
morning some forty men suddenly made
descent upon the prison and attempted to force
the doors, for the purpose of lynchins the
murderers. The Sheriff was prepared for
such an attack, and after short fight drove
back the mob, killing one Of their number. A
few such examples of determined resistance TO
lynchers will effsctuslly quell the riotous dis
position SO frequently displayed in the West Of
aats, which sets the law ut defiance and sub
a>cts the community to the oaprcc OF mobs.

THE EXPECTED SoRTIE from Paris has not
yet taken place, although the sudden resump-
ton of cannonading by forts Issy, Vanvres
and Montrouge give rise to the belief that
Trochu intended to make a desperate attack
upon the German lines. His recent procla
nation foreshadowed an offensive movement,
but he has thus far been 80 slow about making
one that 1t begins to look as If he does not
intend to risk a. battle for the deliverance Of
the beleagured capital.

A Great Hebrew Fair.

A charity fair for the joint benefit of tho
Mount Sinai Hospital and the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum will be opened on the LIST Of Decem-
Der, and will remain open, except on Satur-
days and Sundays, during the ensuing fort
night. The most extensive preparations have
been made for several weeks past to make this
fair surpass all previous UNCONVENTIONAL fairs
in New York. Mr.. Constant Mayer, the well
known artist, has charge of the art depart
ment and q very interesting collection of
paintings and photographs, donated or loaned
by artists and prominent citizens, will form
conspicuous feature of the exhibition. Liberal
contributions of choice articles of merchandise
have been offered, and the acknowledged taste,
wealth and generosity which characterize our
Jewish social circles promise to verify the pre-
diction that the profits Of the fair will not fall
short of one hundred thousand dollars. The
fact that the Mount Sinai Hospital opens its
doors freely and without restriction to patients
Of every faith and nationality, to Jews and
Gentiles alike, strongly commends the great
Hebrew fair to the interest Of all classes in our
community. 1t cannot be doubted that this
additional one hundred thousand fair will be
one of the most brilliant and successful Of the
numerous fairs which will render the winter Of
1901 forever memorable in the annals Of
charity.

The War Situntlon-An0ihcr Defeat Of the

The War SituntiOn-AuOihcr Defeat Of tho
French.
The news from France regarding the en-
gagement Of Sunday between the French and
German. armies in the nelghborhood of
Amiens rs well as the battle of yesterday in
the valley Of the Loire, is far from satisfac-
tory. AS far as the battle in the vicinity of
Amiens is concerned, our dispatches received
at an early hour this morning removes ali
doubts as to the result No details of the
contest are given; but it evidently resulted in
the complete defeat Of the French, as
the city has been occupied by the Ger
mans and their opponents are in full retreat
In the engage mo it with the Army Of the
Loire the Germa IS have not had so easy
task to accomplish as that they experienced
on former occasions. All the movements of
Paladines so far are characteristic of caution
and careful thought. In the battle which has
taken place, and in which the Germans are
said to have been defeated, although no men,
ton is made of the place at which this
disaster occurred, there is every reason
to believe that the German army was the
attacking party. This being the case, the
French had all the advantages of intrenchcd
positions, as there is good reason for the belief
that they have been preparing earthworks and
have made no advance northward for some
time past. Notwithstanding the announce
ment Of French success near Orleans, we
feel inclined to regard it not in the light of any
great victory, for most assuredly we should
have something more definite than the
despatch from Tours furnishes us with. At all
events, the situation looks hopeful for the
French. What has taken place at Laden and
Migneres is but the commencement of the
great conflict which must finally take place
along the whole line, from Glen to Chateau
du Loir, over which General Paladines' Army
Of the Loire extends.

The Political Troubles In Alabama.


Harmony In State with two executives ID
hardly to be expected, and Alabama, with her
two Governors, finds her government at =
deadlock and her people threatened with
another civil war. At the last election the
majority for Lindsay (democrat) for Governor
was one thousand four hundred and twenty
nine. On Saturday last, while the Legislature
was in joint convention for the purpose OF
canvassing the vote for State officers, Cover
nor Smith obtained an injunction forbidding
the counting of the vote for Governor and Trea
surer. This injunction was obeyed, and after
declaring the vote for Lieutenant Governor
and Secretary of State the Senate.
cans, withdrew, thus breaking up the
joint meeting The Assembly, however,
with the new Lieutenant Governor presiding,
continued the session, counted the vote for
Governor, and declared Lindsay elected.
Lindsay Immediately took the oath of Office
and entered upon it's duties. Smith refused
to abdicate, and obtained the services Of q
number Of government troops, which he
posted In front of the executive room and
Treasurer's office. Throughout the State the
excitement caused by these proceedings is
intense, and Governor Smiths action is
denounced by all parties. Resolutions were
adopted in the House yesterday reciting that,
in the face Of the fact that peace and order
prevailed throughout Alabama, military
force Of United States troops had been quar-
tered within the capital of the State during
the present session Of the Legislature, and
demanding by whose authority and upon
whose application such troops had been sent
there. These inquiries are most pertinent
and timely. Alabama is a recognized State
of the Union, and federal interference in her
purely local affairs cannot be too strongly
reprehended. i -.
Nelson's Concluding Performance in New
York. ----,.g.-s:'r-,, "1' - "a
Tonight Miss Nilsson will sing for the last
time in New York previous to an extensive
tour West and throughout the country
generally. We can hardly expect to hear her
agar. in this CITY before February, and,
perhaps, only at very limited number OF
performances then, for she has to return early
in the spring to fulfil engagements In Europe.
The grand oratorio, "The Messiah" will DO
repeated tonight, when Miss Nilsson will sing
some of the gems of this sublime work Of
Handel, and will be assisted by Miss Gary,
other fine artists and the Mendelssohn Union.
No artist ever had greater or more
prolonged success in concert performance
here, and none ever left a more favorable
impression upon the public. 1t is said she
has realized the net sum of fifty thousand
dollars already. The manager, too, has
pocketed a good round sum, although the cost
of employing such company of first class
artists must be very great. But the people Of
this city, who have supported the concerts SO
literally, will not be satisfied unless they see
this charming prinaa donna in opera before
she leaves America. We hope Mr.. Strakosch
will give us a short season of opera, at least,
when Miss Nilsson returns from the West.
