The Senatorial Question.


One of the most interesting and i'm
portant duties which the Legislature
just elected will have to perform is the
election of United States Senator to
represent Wisconsin for six years from
the fourth of next March.
So far, we hear Of but two names
mentioned in connection with. the Office
-Ex-Gov. G. @. Washburn and Matt
II. Carpenter, the present incumbent,
and quite spirited and bitter con-
test has sprung up among certain Re
publican newspapers as to which OF
them shall be "the lucky man."
1t is of the form which this contest
has assumed, especially on the part
of some of the friends of Gov. Wash
burn, that we desire to speak, and we
most earnestly protest against it. One
paper of this section threatens great
falling off in the Republican vote if
Mr.. Carpenter is elected. Another,
which pretends to attribute the late
Republican defeat entirely to the sal
airy grab, threatens destruction to
the party in Wisconsin if he is re-
turned.
Now for our own part, our sympa
ahies are with Gov. Washburn, as we
doubtinot are also the sympathies of the
majority of the Republican party in
Iowa county. Mr.. Coates will doubt
less vote for him, and Senator Joiner
certainly would have, had he been
elected.
The fact is, the Republican members
Of the Legisla ture are generallypledged
to their constituents to vote for one or
the other of these two men for Senator
They had their minds made up long
since, and there have been no new facts
developed to influence them. They
have generally been elected with fair
unders landing on the question. Their
decision, therefore, will be an expression
of the will of the majority of the par :
ty in the State, and this is all any
fair-minded person can ask for. How
the vote in the caucus may stand, we
know not ; but We scarcely think the
ch dice will influence us OF any thinking
Republican to exchange his principles
for those of the so-called Democracy.
IF the choice of either Mr.. Washburn
or Mr.. Carpenter for Senator shall re-
suit in falling off in the Republican
vote of Wisconsin, those papers which
have adopted the ''rule or ruin" policy
will be alone responsible, and we call
upon them, using their own favofite
expression, to gave the multitude
aa d let the individual perish"

Our Forei9niPopulatioTZ.

Gen. f. A. Walker, Superindent of
the Census of 1870, gives the Advance
some interesting facts concerning the
distribution of the 1000 foreign
born inhabitants of the United States,
He calls. attention to the we'll known
fact that. broadly speaking, the for
eigners and the colored people live in
different portions of the country.
There are eleven Southern States in
which of each 1000 persons, Ais are
cOlored and only % foreign. In Del
aware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Missouri both foreigners
and blacks are found in considerable
numbers. Excepting few cities, as
New Orleans, almost the whole foreign
population is found north of the s8th
degree of latitude.
In 175 cities and towns, ~, 100000
of the foreigners are found. In the
so largest cities 445 of each loo
Irish in the whole country are found
1856 of each 1000 Germans; 36s OF
Frenchman. The Scandinavians do
not flock to cities. But rs of eacl
1000 Norwegians in the whole coun-
try are to be found in the SO largesl
cities. It is remarkable that of al
the Ncrwegians living in large cities
three fourths are found in Chicago
In distribution by states, New
York stands first in number of Irish
Germans, English, Scotch and French.
Pennsylvania ranks second in numbe
of Irish, English and Scotch. Wiscon
sin ranks 10 in population, fifth il
foreign population, first in number OF
Norwegians and fourth in number OF
Germans. Minnesota ranks secent
in number of Norwegians and Sweeds
Iowa stands third in number of Nor.
wegians and Sweeds. Illinois is frs
IN number of Sweeds and fourth il
number of Norwegians.
These facts show how largel,

And so journalism is officially rec
ognized as profession It is the
Treasury Department which has
earned gratitude from ''the fourth es-
tate" According to a dispatch to the
Republic, the case same up on claim
of an American Journalist returning
from Europe, who asserted his right
to import his purchases of books for
his professional journalistic library
duty free, under the provision which
permits the free importation of books
to be used in the library of ply

Baltimore custom officers ruled that
a journalist could not claim the ben e.
