FINANCIAL affairs in England are
Row about as bad as they are in
this country. The rates of interest
on money are very cXorbitant, and
some failures are rumored in Lon
don. 1t is not improbable that the
discount rate of the Bank Of Eng
land, which is already . per cent,
viii be again advanced during the
week, and the public need not bc
surprised if ere long that institution
should even suspend specie pay
mcnts.

NOTWITHSTANDING their loud bel
lowings about civil service reform,
the Democratic victols Of the late
election announced their intention
Of displacing all Republican en-
ployces Of the State, including one
legged and one-almed soldiers, and
old men robbed of their natural
props by the late war, to make
room for the hungry hounds Of De
mocracy, who have so long waited
for this opportunity to get their
paws into the public pap,

DEFEAT AND IFS CAUSES.

iNlIiliAtAC abI''' Wv - - "'~f'r
was at first supposed. As yet, OF
course the exact majority against
us is not known, but unqucstionably
II is eight or ten thousand, II not
more. Now that the smoke Of bat
tie has cleared away, the causes OF
the defeat are plainly seen bya all
who look for them. The most
prominent immediate. causes are
four, to-wit: 1st, Failure OF Re-
publicans to vote rs generally as
the opposition did. ID, The united
and determined opposition OF the
LIQUOR Dealers Association jD all
the large places, Where the liquor
influence is greatest. 3D., The cap
ture Of the Granger votes IN some
localities. It'll, The united oppo-
eition Of nearly all the railroad IN
flucncc in the state. These, we
say are the leading immediate causes
Of the result, to which may be added
~ remote causes, the Credit Mo
bilicrscandal; the Salary Grab BIZ
and the Presidents failure to veto
the same the late financial panic
and consequent low prices OF farm
products, and business stagnation.
The first in the catalogue of
causes, is one against which the he
publican press has heretofore warn
cd the people, and which alone has
heretofore well nigh given victory
to the enemy. If the result OF the
late election shall arouse the chronic
stay-at-homes of the Republican
party to a sense Of their duty, and
bring them to the polls IN future,
one needed reform at least will be
accomplished.
The second direct cause needs
little comment, it is one that ever
has and douhtloss ever win be used
against the Republican party. But
in the late contest the liquor oppo-
sitiou was more thoroughly organ
lied, and better handled than ever
before. Hereafter this element must
be recognized as the most folnId-
able opponent of RcpubIicanism III
Wisconsin, and campaigns must be
planned accordingly. We believe
firmly that a vast majority of the
voters Of this State are In favor of
y wholesome restriction of the liquor
traffic, such as provided for by the
Graham Law, but, under the mis-
uomer of "RefoI'm," the people have
been led to place i'll power n party
bitterly at enmity with that law,
and whose record proves will, when
they have the power, either repeal
Or so modify it as to render it in
effective or void The main-stay OF
the Democratic party (and to that
party and no other have the people
Given control of our State afrairsl is
tae liquor interest to that interest
the party owes It's late success and
on it must the party depend for
future triumphs; hence, Whatever
tlat interest demands the party
must conccde or suffer defeat nj the

Reform ticket was the triumph OF
beer and whiskey, and that alone.
The issue in this city was made
squarely upon the liquor and sun
day dance-house question, 80 far as
the so-called "RetoImers were CON
cerned. They nominated their can
didates for the Legislature with
reference to it, and money was
poured out like water to elect them.
Bands paraded the streets i'll four
horse wagons, playing reform
music; carriages rushed in all di-
rections, bringing III "reform'
voters reform beer and whiskey
flowed freely, and drunken men
were at every poll, vociferously pro
claiming the necessity for reform.
The great beer and whiskey lords
were everywhere busy II money
could in any way bring them votes
or support, it was forthcoming, ana
there was little effort ut conceal
mcnt. They openly declared that
their sole purpose was the repeal OF
the Graham law, which means that

follows:
When the German element had
told him that, if they found they
could not endure the laws of the
United States, they would so home,
he had told them that such was not
the hest course, that they should
stay and make laws for the Amcri-

Reasons why they Only
should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION Is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands of testimonials have been received,
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases Of long standing, many Of
them considered hopeless.
THERE Is NO RISK IN TAKING THEN.
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases often the
result OF the many uostrums of the day. Physicians
recommended them a. superior 10 Quinine or any
