to vote for biennial sessions of the

that they will ratiiy the proposition.

THE St Paul Pioneer Press was GER
tain that Secretary Ramsey would be
elected United States Senator from
Minnesota, and scoffed at the claims
of the McLillan faction that the latter
would be chosen his own successor.
McMillen was elected, however, to
the intense chagrin of the great ST.
Paul newspaper which claims that the
result was brought about by trades
and promises of official position in eff
feet amounting to bribery. The ma
chine" men of Minnesota seem to be
pretty well fortified, and the Indepen-
dents will have hard work to dislodge
them.

SHIP RAILWAY.

While the Panama and Nicaragua
ship canal schemes have been COM
handing public attention, Captain
Eads has quietly been taking the pre-
liminary steps toward the construc.
tion of ship railway across the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepee This famous en-
gineer proposes to lift the largest load
ed merchant vessels bodily out of the
water and safely transport them across
the isthmus and thus reduce the dis
lance between New York and San
Francisco for ships 1900 miles below
the Panama route, and make the diff
erence between New Orleans and San
Francisco 1900 miles less than the
Panama route. All the concessions
asked of the Mexican government
have been granted. and surveys have
already commenced. The completion
and successful operation of this novel
railway will mark an important era in
engineering skill, and at the same time
impair the stock Of the two canal
companies we have mentioned. BY
the terms of concessions made by the
Mexican government this ship rail
way must be commenced within two
years and finished within twelve years.

The Madison Democrat, in discuss

can elect a Legislature that will pass

OUR amiabie friend DETROIT, of the
Buffalo County Journal, is Of the
opinion that Hon. Hans B. Warner
is man that any party or nationality
can swear by" but protests gtinst his
nationality being urged aS reason
why he should be elected Governor.
We believe this is being done i'll but
few instances. We rise to remark
however. that while DeGroff's theory
may he all right, when put to a prac-
tcal test in Wisconsin politics il
won't wash, SO to speak. Messrs.
Breese, Doyle. Warner, Baetz, Kuehn
and Gunther were nominated for the
State offices which they have respec-
lively held. because of their nation
ality, and each in the discharge of his
duties has reflected credit upon him
self as well as upon the nationality
which he represented. The tlne-spun
theory that nationality nor locality
should be considered in the selection
of public officials is not accepted by
the people, and evidence in support of
this assertion may he found in almost
every school district, township, coun-
ty, assembly district. senate district,
congressional district and in the selec-
ton Of State officers. We venture
nothing in saying that should Mr.. War
ner become the next Republican nom
inee for the office Of Governor. Ger
man will he nominated either for Sec
rotary of State or State Treasurer, and
that his nationality will be one Of the
principal factors governing the noml-
nation.
