THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The election Of a Unitel States Sen
ator in place Of Matt FL. Carpenter,
whose term expires next March, comes
before the Wisconsin Legislature the
present winter. The Republicans,
having clear majority ia both branch
es of the Legislature, Republican will
be elected to this high and honorable
position. We have all along been in
favor of having the question as 10 the
successorship Of Senator Carpenter
fought out In the Senator al caucus where
the claims Of the candidates could be
eanvassed impassionately by their res
pective friends. Since, however, an
attempt is being made by portion of
the press of the state to forestall pub
Lie opinion on the subject, we do not
hesitate to announce where our prefer
ence lies in the matter. In the recent
campaign a direct issue was made on
Senator Carpenter by the opposition,
and the line of attack against the Re-
publican party was as to whether Matt
Carpenter would be his own successor
or the choice Of United States Senator
fall upon DR.. Wight, Alexander Mitch
Ell, George 3. Smith, or some other
equally notorious Reformer or Demo-
erat. Senator Carpenter met the issue
openly and squarely, making thor
ough and an able canvass ofthe State and
we believe, that to his work in the
campaign, the Republicans of Wiscon-
sin are largely indebted for their sue,
cess We have the best evidence Of
Senator Carpenters influence IN the
election, By the result at his own home.
Last year the Republicans were with
out a member of the Legislature from
KilwauEee city or county. For some
years previous the Republicans usually
elected one or two members each yea.
This year, in the face ola bitter attack
made on the public and private char
acter Of Senator Carpenter, ja of the
Milwaukee Assemblymen are Republi-
cans, and in favor of Carpenters re-
election to the United States Senate.
The circumstances under which the
campaign was fought, leaves it clear
to our mind that the victory belongs to
Senator Carpenter, and that he is justly
entitled to reap the benefit. This we say
without intending any disparagement
towards other leading members Of the
party who assisted by their ability to
wrest the State from the Reformers

The Trtbune's Platform.
Tariff and transportation Charges

THE TRIBUNE will advocate the adoption
of such measures as will cheaper transport
talion and reduce the taxes on goods. The
lightest tariff which will provide the Gov
eminent with necessary funds to carry it
on and maintain its credit should only be
imposed on imports, and the national high
ways should be improved to create astrong-
er competition with the railroad mopopo-
lies, which will compel them to lower their
tariff of charges.

reported, amount to eighty-one in all,

The Remains Of a Mammoth.

The people of Racine county are iu-
terested in the discovery Of the remains
of a mastodon in the town of Dover,
about two miles and half from Roch-
ester. Mr.. Litchfeld was engaged in
ditching on the farm of Mr.. Hoffman,
when he struck bone Of large proper
tons The fact was brought to the
notice Of Messrs. T. E. Wells and T.
S. Perkins, who at once set about the
work of exhuming the bones of the
monster. They took with them gang
Of four men, marked off a space Of Is
by 20 feet, and succeeded in finding
the remains after digging down through
twenty two inches Of peat, twelve inch
es of hard-pan and another layer Of
peat twelve inches deep. The bones
rested in clay, and were found in a
partial state Of preservation. The par
ty took out rib s feet in length, and
a portion of the vertebra 81 inches in
diameter. Messrs Wells and Perkins
also got out one Of the tusks, and found
it in fair state of preservation. 1t
measured four feet five inches in length
and sixteen inches in circumference at
the large end. The other tusk was
partially decayed, but was gathered up
with other remains Of the mammoth
and formed part Of the load of four
one bushel baskets of bones.
Mr.. Wells Immediately took precau-
tons to preserve the tusk and other
well-preserved portions, and has mount
ed them for exhibition. After they
have been examined by the people Of
Racine county, the gentleman will
send them to the museum at Madison

went about two miles further, when the
drag rope caught in large tree. The
occupants were nearly thrown out by the
tremendous shock of this sudden STOP
page. The balloon was 100 much for the
tree, however. The limb, large one,
snapped off, and away went the air-ship
again, rising rapidly toward the heavens.
Donaldson was anxious not to lose any
gas, as he wished to continue his journey
as long as possible; but after this failure
he decided that the only hope of landing
on this side of the Hudson was in sacri-
ficing some of the gas, so the anchor was
thrown out and the valve opened. Down
came the balloon. The graphing irons
caught. There was thump, then an
other, and then the huge globe swayed
to and fro and the basket was stationary
upon the earth.
Disposing of aportion of his crew, Mr..
Donaldson reascended with the rest and,
after varied experiences, finally landed
near Saratoga, N. Y, having travelled
about 800 miles and continued in the air
nearly twenty hours.

A Terrible Case of Lunacy.

A remarkable case of lunacy has just
been made known in Green Village, N.
j., by the death of Charles Crowell at the
age of seventy, who had been a raving
maniac for over forty-fve years. He was
kept chained to the floor of his home, and
would never allow clothing to be put on
him. He was confined in a small apart
ment made for his use. No furniture
was in the room, the only thing in it be-
ing straw. His mother took care of him
for the first fifteen years, and during that
time he tore to pieces over 100 bedquilts
which she had made for him. At times he
would be perfectly harmless, and would
allow his mother and sister to stay in his
room and feed him. But for months he
would pace his small room and no one
dared venture near him. In his room
was very small window through which
food and water were given him. Some
times he would not eat for week; at
other times enough food could not be
given him to satisfy his voracity. His
mother died from the great burden, and
his sister took charge of him. She, too,
died after some years from the constant
care and anxiety with which she watched
him. The most remarkable fact in con-
nection with the case was that just before
he died his mind was clear and he called
an attendant by name.-N. Y Tribune

SAILING SKYWARD.
A Notable Balloon Experience -Twen-
ty Hours i'm NIfd-AIr.


On the afternoon of the Goth of July,
Donaldson, the aeronaut, made a grand
ascension in the balloon "Barnum" from
New York, which is thus described in
the New York World of the 20th:
At precisely quarter-past four Mr..
Donaldson gave the order Let go all
The ropes were loosened, and the balloon
sprang upward in straight line from
the Hippodrome, gaining an altitude of
500 feet in about two minutes. In one
minute more she had reached height OF
roo feet above the sea-level, and the me-
tropolis was spread out before the voy.
ayers like picture of vast dimensions,
but perfect in all its details.
At twenty minutes after four the bal
loon was lowering above Forty-second
street and Seventh avenue. 1t had been
rapidly rising since the start, and the
Colosseum looked like large-sized
brown paper collar. An altitude Of 500
feet had been reached at that time, and
the air-ship had been going directly
northwest. In four minutes more 40C
feet had been gained in the ascension
and the voyagers were directly in line
with mass of white clouds (tinted by
the declining SUM which was form.
ing in the west Still upward and
still onward to the west the balloon
held its course. The bottom of the bas
ket was as steady as the floor of par
lor, and the large globe of gas scarcely
moved in the light breeze. At twenty
five minutes past four an altitude Of
2,45O feet had been reached, and the air
ship was directly over the middle of the
Hudson River. At twenty-seven minutes
past four the North River had beer
crossed and the balloonists found them
selves lowering over Weehawken, jus
opposite Fiftieth street. This distance
had been accomplished in exactly twelve
minutes.
The scene at this time was magnificent
To the north, west and south stretched
the cities and villages of New Jersey
Paterson, Hackensack, Newark, ant
the hundreds of villages which are clus

Hackensack Valley were in full view; tt
