The following is from tie Mineral
Point Tribune, which paper had not
heard of Senator Cameron's with
drawal at the date of its last issue
The election of a successor to Hon.
Angus Cameron, as U. S. Senator, is
thesmost important duty the Legisla.
ture of 1880 will be called upon to
perform. Therefore the selection of
candidates for Legislative positions
should be made with special refer
eRce to that duty. Angus Cameron,
E. w. Reyes and Philetus Sawyer
are understood to BIZ candidates, and
their respective friends throughout
the State will aim to secure the
election of members OF the Legisla
ture accordingly The last two ere

actively at work =; while Mr.. Came

RETAINING from any interference with
or even suggestions to the people as
20 the choosing of candidates. The
commendabilty Of such caurse all
concede, but the efficacy of it, we
regret to admit is doubtful
Of the gentlemen named, the
Tribune would give decided prefer
ence to Mr.. Cameron. His record
during the present term is unassaila
BILE. He has agreeably surprised
even his friends by displaying abili
ties greater than had been claimed
for him, and taking rank among the
great msn of the Senate far above
the average of new Senator's No
member of either House stands above
him for perfect rectiiude of public
and private conduct, or faithfulnsss
to the duties of his position. That
neither of hose named is his superior
in any respect is admitted and that
he has some points OF superiority to
either will be generally conceded
All Congressman of this State are
re nominated-most of them for third
or fourth terms. None of them are
more deserving than Senator Came
ron, or have greater claims to such
recognition. To discriminate against
him would be positively unjust, even
were a better man to be chosen,
which is not at all probable if posi-.
bic. If the sentiment of the Assem-.
bly, District Convention, to be held
at Dodgeville on the 28th, agree.
with ours, candidates will be nomi
mated who, if elected, will vote and
work for Mr.. Cameron's reelection.
AT least we hope that the nominees
will be required to state their posi-.
tons on this important question, that
no misunderstanding may arise here.

United States Senatorship-Senator
Cameron's Withdrawal.

The JanesUilte Gazette comments
on Senator Cameron's letter of with
drawal and his record as a member
OF the United States Senate as fol-
lows:
There are some who viii be
pleased with his declination, while
very many of his political friends
will regret that he has voluntarily
taken himself out of the Senatorial
race. Mr.. Cameron has made an ex-
cellent Senator. He has provoked
the displeasure of the Democrats and
has agreeably disappointed his Re.
publican friends. 1t will be remem.
hered that he was elected in 1875 by
the votes of the Democrats in the
Legislature, and dozen Republicans
who could not endorse Mr.. Carpen.
ter. Receiving the united support
OF the Democrats,it was supposed by
not few that he would either keep
company with the Democrats in the
Senate, or climb the fence after the
fashion of Judge Davis of Illinois.
But Mr.. Cameron was not willing to
barter his political principles for
seat in the Senate. He did not seek
the nomination in 1875, and thought
so little about it that he could not
even hope of becoming dark horse.
But when asked by telegraph if he
would accept an election to the Unit
ed States Senate, Mr.. Losey, his part.
ner, (Mr. Cameron being absept) an.
swered that he would, and immedi-
ately he was nominated. He felt
that the Democrats had no claims
upon him, and that he was under no
obligations to them, and therefore the
moment he entered the Senate he
placed himself on the side of the Re-
pubicans, and throughout his term
remained aStrue Republican, and was
fearless and unremitting in advocat-
ing and defending the principles of
his party. He will leave the Senate
of the United States bearing with
him the sincere regards of the Re.
publicans of Wisconsin.

The advancement of any great
science is always matter of public
interest, and accustomed as the PEG.
pie of America are to wonderful dis.
coveries in the world of inventions,
they take no less delight in those
revelations which concern the mate
rial universe, including the most re.
mote heavenly bodies. The erection
of new building, therefore, which
is designed to advance the study of
astronomy in all its departments, is
matter of both national interest
and universal Importance. This is
just what the Warner Observatory
at Rochester, N. Y, is designed to
do. Being the finest private obser.
vatory in the world, and containing
telescope third in power to any on
this continent, it cannot fail to con.
tribute largely to the cause of science
in the United States.
But, however much may be &C.
complished in the future, American
astronomers have already done
grandly in the past. Among the
prominent revolutions which they
have made to the world may be
mentioned the following: The sepa
ration of Biela's comet into two
parts, in 1916 the discovery of the
eighth satellite of Saturn in l848 by
Professor Bond; the discovery Of
the transparent ring of Saturn, in
1850, by Bond ; and Professor Hall,
of the Washington Observatory, dis

County Union" Ticket.

The Democratic and Greenback
County tickets have "fused''. The
committees and candidates met last
Saturday for that purpose. The re-
suit is
For Sheriff, Fl Fl Virgin, of PlatteviIle.

We give it as our judgment that
this ticket is not as strong as the
material at hand was capable of max
ing but on account of the varying or
knots in some of the timbers, is as
good as the carpenters could frame
at this time. 1t is doubtful whether
much is gained by fusion anyway.
Three years ago there were three
full tickets and the Republicans were
saved in this county by GOO. Two years
ago the opposition was thoroughly
fused and the Republican majority
was about 900.

THE ROCHESTER, ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY.

the greatest astronomical events of
the present century. In addition to
the above, the United States claims
the discovery of more than one thou
sand double and triple stars (among
them some of the most wonderful in
the entire list of those Objects over
fifty asteroids and fifteen new comets,
while Professors Watson and Swift
during the eclipse of 1878 discovered
three tra.Mercurial planets. This
is a record of which Americans can
justly be proud.
The new observatory at Rochester
is to be large and airy building,
specially designed for astronomical
purposes, and its endowment is due
to fortunate circumstance. The
original idea was to construct a
tower and building of moderate pro-
portions, but the business success of
Mr.. II. III. Warner, who made the
original endowment, induced that
gentleman to ex pend a much larger
sum and make the building what
now it is to be. The new telescope
will cost about SIS 900, and is to be
in charge of Professor Lewis Swift,
who has become so famous by reason
of his discoveries of comets and two
intra- Mercurial planets. The tube OF
the new instrument is twenty-five
feet in length, while the lens is six.
teen inches in diameter, and it will
be mounted in the revolving turret
so as most thoroughly to sweep the
horizon in all its possible direc-
lions.

THE NAME IOWA"
Il. Origin and Specification Interesting a.,i.

Iowa is word of Indian orr
gin. 1t has been handed down |
through French explorers and trav-
elers from the first discovery Of In
dams in this region. In some Oh
documents it is spelled +" 1oway,'
but 1t has finally taken the classical
ending like " Americas" and is pro-
ncanced with the accent on tie first
syllable or letter. And SO it has be-
come very classic appellation for
State, river and = county, as well
as town. The original name CIV
en- to the old capital was "the city
OF Iowa." which has been contracted
into Iowa City" SO much for the
origin OF the word, first applied by
the French to q tribe of Indians,
then to the river, and subsequently
by actusl settlers and the govern
ment 20 the State and its first capt.
tai.
The simple meaning of the word
Iowa isl "Here is the place." or
"This is the epot." This signifca-
ton is most nnquestionsbe. An
tome LeClairs, late OF Davenport,
Iowa, gave tho writer of this arti-
Gle, from his own knowledge of the
Indian lang usge, the ignIficalion-
Here is the place." or This ia the
spot" He said, the Indians hsgiug
been driven, before their enemies,
over the Mississippi river, exclaimed,
Here is the place to live. Hav-
ing removed from place to place, till
they crossed the CREST river, they
hoped for spot on which TO dwell
unmolested. Mr.. LeCIsire was born
and bred among them; know their
native tongue, and was for many
years the United States interpreter
in making negotiations and treaties
with the Saukie and Musquskie
tribes, commonly known to US as
the Iowa Indians, from tribe OF
that name first discovered on Iowa
soil by Marquette, the French mia
| sionary.
The testimony of Antoine lie.
| Clalre, Esq therefore, ought 10 De
received as conclusive, with respect
to the meaning of the name, Iowa.
He was of Indian and French de-
scent, although he used to boast, in
his goOd.humored way of speaking,
that no was the first white settler
in Iowa. Different signifcstions
have been given, but none appears
so authentic as this of Mr.. LeClaire
One writer has represented q tall
Indian on high bluff, looking over
the Mississippi spd exclsiming 10
wa Iowa." Beautiful Beauti-
full " Another gives the meaning
as " None Such" But they are all
fanciful names. The real meaning
is: Here is the place."

Next Weeks Elections

Next Tuesday the State elections
in Ohio and Indians take place.
The eyes of tho nation are at this
time turned to them. They are
likely to indicate the November re-
suit. -Four; years ago Hayes carried
Ohio by about 1000 plurality and
only 2,747 majority. Last year the
Republican plurality was over ~.
600, but the majority was only s.
352. II is close State and the
result doubtful. In 1876 the Demo.
Gratis carried Indiana by 5,5l5 plu.
rality but were some 1000 in minor
ity IS against the combined oppo-
sition. At the last election in that
State, which was two years ago, the
Democrats had I4.lI3 majority. If
the Republicans should overcome
this and carry Indiana and carry
Ohio by an increased majority, the
in dex TJuld point to Garfeld's cer>
tair aection. 1t would give the Re-
-.dolicans such a start that they
would fairly distance the Democrats
in November. If on the other hand
the Democrats make gains in these
states over the Republicans, the lat.
ter will receive a dreadful shock
and may not ov roome it in Noyem-
Der. Should there be but little
change and no change as to result
the present suspense will continue
until the Presidential election. Gains
will help which ever party gets them
in the ratio OF their extent. The
Democrats will not probably carry
Ohio and the Republicans can hard
ly hope to carry Indiana.
