The official returns of the late cleo
ton in Wisconsin show that the whole
number of votes cast for Governor was
1908 less than in 1868, and 1850
less than in 1872. The Democratic
candidate, Taylor, fell short OF the
vote cast for Greeley, last year only
3,O75 votes. while Washburn, the Re.
publican candidate. fell short Of
Grants vote 3S.773. Taylor's majority
is 15,4l1. These figures show that in
Wisconsin, as in Ohio, the Democrats
succeeded, not by reason of their own
strength, but through the suplDenass,
inaction and absenteeism Of Ke3abll-
cans. The Democratic party has not
gained any strength in either d those
States, nor any ground which j. can
hold permanently. Add the ReSak-
lican stay at home vote to NasAbucAf g
vote and he would have been elected
by over thirteen Thousand majority.
Without going into any discussion as
to the causes of this unfortunate
apsthy in our ranks, We ane free to
confess that it was rather bad year
for Republicans; but the figures show
that on full vote Wisconsin is still
largely Republican, and We have not
the slightest doubt that the future Will
so proye.-Inter Ocean.

We were interviewed, last week, by
an esteemed friend because ct the
publication and republication Of the
communication of Eastern Star" in
regard to the sword presentation in
Friends Meeting House. last Sabbath
night week. We have no apologies to
make for the admission of that COM
muaicatioa into our columns ia the
first place; bat the reason for its re,
publication was the demand expressed
for It by those who desired to read it
for themselves, is the explanation we
desire to give Tor its second appear
ance. The reason why we have no
apologies to offer, for the admission of
that article, is that the transaction
was public one. It was taken as a
deliberate and premeditated insult to
all so-called "secret orders" but more
especially to the Masonic institution,
and the writer dealt with it plainly,
and handled the incident in a BETTING
manner. 1t met with not only our ap-
proval, but the appreciation Of every
member of the so-called secret or

ed to be right and proper, and are Will

We note - strong and growing
sentiment everywhere in favor Of
the establishment of postal savings

discussed and considered the
stronger it becomes. The very fact

the circulation OF every available
dollar is proof that the system Of
savings as at present practiced is
both defective and injurious; de.
fective, because it fails to command
public confidence in times when
confidence is most needed; and in
furious, because the effort to secure
its own safety from q possible con-
tingency has tendency to paralize
the legitimate business of the coun-
try by Withdrawing from circula-
ton the money needed for purposes
of trade. National savings banks
would be free from this serious OBJ
lection. They would offer a low
rate of interest and absolute secu-
, rity to the depositor. They would
invite millions of deposits that are
now stored away in some secret
hiding place. They would strength
en- public confidence in times of
financial depression. They would
tend to encourage thrift, industry.
/ and wise economy. They would at
ford the Government an opportun-
ity of saving millions in the item
of interest alone, by refunding it's
present high interest bonds with
ones bearing a lower rate. They
would, in time, so reduce the public
indebtedness that the money deposit
ted could be diverted to the pay
ment of the current expenses Of the
Government, taxing the people for
the interest paid on the deposits.
By this means taxation would be
largely reduced, and its burdens
would hardly be felt. The system
IS not an experimental one. 1t

England, and has worked we'll
The English system can be improv-
ed upon, and the one established in

order system has out lived the ob-

and is daily growing in importance
and favor. The business in some
sections has more than doubled
since the beginning Of the panic
The postal savings bank system
would be even more popular, for il
would supply want never more
keenly felt than during these times
of financial depression. The poe,
men of the nation who have q few
dollars to lay aside from their hare

that they can have their saving,
when they want them, and that q

No doubt many of your readers are
interested in hearing from William
Baxter, the indefatigable laborer in
the cause of temperance, through the
columns Of the Palladium, who has
been travelling throughout our State
leaving the comforts of home, and
an interesting young family, for no
other motive than to fortify aud build
up the good cause in the minds Of the
people, that they may defend and sup
port our excellent temperance law,
that friend Baxter was Sc instrument
tai ia placing ON our statute books at
our last Legislature. Too much praise
and appreeiatien for his untiring labor
ia the eaxse Of Temperance in our own
community, as we'll as the State, can
not be bestowed. Especially are we
pleased with the disposal our friend
Baxter made Of the prefer Of an ova-
ton rendered him by our citizens, to
come off on the evening" Of the Sd of
December next, by declining it peremp-
torily and very respectful,y-prefer
ring that the supper be dispensed with,
and its cost appropriated to the poor
of the city. This suggestion, we IN
dersAand, viii be carried out; but a
temperance meeting in Lyeeum Hall
ON Wednesday evening next, we are
informed, is resolved on by the com
mittee, to which all our citizens arr
invited. This is a sensible change
and we trust the hall will be crowded
to hear from our friend Baxter, ant
J to take the proper steps to enforce the
law against those who are engaged il
manufacturing drunkards, by appoint
ing a committee, whose duty 1t shall
be to see that the law is properly an,

Uaited states Extended.
WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-It is sta
ted, on what is believed to be good au-
thority, that our Government has ex-
tended the time for the definite reply
from Spain to the demands Of our
Government, and it can be said, COM
ing from an official source, that nego-
tiations are still in progress bat afairs
are in such a condition that not even
an intimation can be given of their
character. There is reason for saying
with certainty, that the prospect.
is not favorable for an adjustment OF
the Virginius dttEculty.as several days
ago. There were grounds for believ-
ing that the report that the Spanish
Cabinet had agreed to surrender that
vessel was predicated mainly on pro-
fessions of amity and an expression of
willingness on the part of the CASTELAR,
Cabinet to do everything compatible
with honor in satisfaction of the wish
es Of the United States, and also from
the friendly assurance of Admiral
Polo, the Spanish Minister, and his
action in the premises. The Govern
ment, yesterday and to-day, was in the
receipt OF dispatches from Madrid of
an elaborate character, giving the re-
suit Of interviews between Minister
Sickles and the Spanish Minister for
Foreign Affairs on the points of con-
trOversy. They are not yet concluded,
nor from present indications is it pro-
bable that the matter will soon be
terminated by negotiation.
Polo has not been clothed with
extraordinary powers. On the con.
trary, his functions have been ignored
both in Madrid and Havana, and he
has finally reached q point where he
is but little else than a mere clerk
through whose hands dispatches are
transmitted. No such propositions, a.
basis ct the adjustment Of the diff
Guilty have been agreed upon between
the Spanish representative here anC
Secretary Fish. 1t is expected tina
the CASTELAR, Government will delive
the Virginius into the hands Of tn,
treasury officials at Key West, salut
ing the flag. In case this Is done, tn
Treasury Department will procee,
against her for violation Of the neu
trality and registry laws. If she il
found to have violated these laws, tn
case of Spain will have been made out
If she is found not guilty Of such VIC
lation, the United States Government
will take effective steps to have tn
repsration due her. Oar Government
will not abate one jot or title Of til
demand for satisfaction till it has bee
fully acceded to. The situation il no
regarded as being as full of danger .
at any time since the taking of tn

filed with mose serious apprehension
than ever before. The ability of II

quirements of the occasion is exceed
ingly doubtful; and if the quarrel

The st. Louis Globe published
statement made by III. J. 7. Drew.
to the effect that the as. G. or bear

1868, and also that this money
went to pay debt due Amos B.
Merrill, an attorney for Mr.. Ames
at the time. As an instance Of the
injustice of the warfare upon Mr..
Colfax, we take the following from
the St Louis Dispach:
The Globe has settled the Colfax

The Dispach knew it could Meth

ical friend of Mr. Colfax, so, as is
usual with that class of journals, it

Under ordinary circumstances the
power Of declaring war rests with Con-
-gress alone, but if the hot-headed
Spaniards should attack one Of our
vessels now cruising in the vicinity Of
Cuba, the President would have a
right to declare state Of war by the
act of Spain. If it does come, this
country will gobble up Cuba so quick
as to make the Spanish head swim.

Push forward the fattening of beeves
as fast as possible. The best flesh is
laid on before the coolest weather.
Give the shelter Of good warm sheds
to your stock, and stable the milk
cows. If this be not possible, give
them the best protection you can.
Poor fences are temptation to peo-
pie to steal rails for firewood, and the
careless farmer is in part answerable
for the crime.
