judicial Election.

Next Tuesday is election day; and the
republicans are called upon to see to it
that they, each and every one, cast ballot
for Judge Lyon, for Associate Justice to
the Supreme Court of the State. Judge
Lyon is one of the best specimens of the
true republican: that we have in the State.
He is a tried man and has not been found
wanting. He has honorably filed most of
the high positions of our State with credit
to himself and honor to his constituents.
The Judge served four years in our late
war, and did his countrys service with
honor. A better record no man in Wis
consin has. This is the man we want on
the supreme bench of our State for the
next six years. Than all turn out and
cast vote for Judge Lyon, who is a pa
triot, one of the ablest Judges, and an hon
est man.

Political Notes.

The Charleston News recalls the fact that
Gen. Hancock was connected with ''the infa-
nous Surratt affair" and adds: "This must
have damaging effect upon his chances of
nomination." The Ne,vs further frees itself
by saying: Any soldier, who, in that evil and
excited hour would have had the courage to
throw up his commission rather than so much
as countenance a military crime would have
won laurels before which the brightest gained
on any battlefield would have paed." The
Neaos predicts that before the year is ended
the very name of a soldier in connection with
a civil Office, will have been made permanent
ly hateful to all parties.
Some of the Democratic witnesses sum-
moned to appear before the Ku-Klux Com
mttee have become frightened since the ex-
animation of Gen. Forrest, and fled to parts
unknown. One of this class ran away to
Canada, and then wrote the committee ask
ing for amnesty, promising to return if they
would take no notice of his disappearance
Sixteen other Democratic witnesses have thus
far neglected to appear after being summoned
presenting all manner of excuses, or evadng
the summons altogether. Most of these are
regarded as leaders in the Ku-Klux organiza-
ton.
There is talk among the Conservatives OF
Virginia of dropping that appellation and
adopting that of Democratic. 1t is said that
the old Wings who yet shout for "Clay and
Frelinghuysen" cannot be prevailed upon to
adopt this name anymore than a ribbonman
could be induced to wear an orange-colored
scarf.
The Jersey Governor Randolph, excites
considerable attention at Long Branch. The
Commercial Adoertiser says the same Cover
nor of the Mosquito State has made record
that may produce some peculiar" results
when the next Democratic National Conven.
ton meets.

TheiDecline of New England.

This is fayorite topic with demagOgues
engaged in the laudabIe work of creating dis
content, and for lectures by lot of dyspeptic
reformers, but there ae no facts that 60 to
sustain the oft-repeated declaration that New
England is really dying of kind of slow dis
ease. There is no evidence of the fact in
more than nine-tenths of the manufacturing
enterprises; the railroads rapidly radiatine
from its business centers and doubled in value
the past decade, and now increasing faster
than at any other period, do not indicate the
deplorabe state of affairs that many seem so
fond of depicting. When general decline
comes to New England, the dry rot will be
felt by railroads first of all, but not in increas-
ed business or higher market price for its
bonds.
While the increrse in population has not
been so great as in some newer sections of
the country. Its healthy growth is apparent
as may be seen from the following statistics,
In 100 the population of all New England
was about 10000, of which nearly 10000
were in Massachusetts, and Maine. In 1850
the population had increased to nearly 400
000,-say 225,000 in Massachusetts and
Maine, 10000 in Connecticut, $4,000 in
Rhode Island and 10000 in New Hampshire.
In IT'S New England had about ia, 900 peo
pie, Massachusetts and Maine being reckoned
$4,000, Connecticut 1852 900, New Hampshire
100000 and Rhode Island $4,000. BY the
first national census in 1890, New England
had l,Oo9,S23 inhabitants; in 1900, ,2:3S.315:
in 1910, 1,471 Sol; in 1920, 1,659,sos; in 1880.
1,954,717; in 1910, 2,234, 1922; in 1850, 2,72s..
1O6; in 1860, 3,135,2s3; in 1870, 3,4s7.7e4.
1t thus appears that, during the whole GEN.
fury from 100 to 1900, New England gained
in population about 100000; while the fist
seventy years of the present century, the gain
has been 2,254,000, or more than twice as
great The rate ofincrease was more. hun
dred years ago, but the absolute gain has been
much greater of late years.
The percentage of gain for the last ten
years mas been IL IA, which in Europe, would
pe recKoned very large. From 1850 TO 1880
1t was nearly 25 per cent, and, but for the
civil war, it would probably have been mora
than that in the last decade. From 1900 -
1910. it was but 10 1-3 per cent. and fro,,
1910 to 1920, only IL 3-4 per cent, so that the
rate of increase for the last twenty wears. has
been fully equal to what it was thirty five
years ago, or sixty years ago.
