BY an extraordinary combination of
circumstances Wisconsin is by no means
clear as to the political complexion of
its nine members of Congress to be elect
ed next month. After the state was
redistricted it seemed reasonably GER
tain that the Republicans would send
seven and the Democrats two members.
Now it appears that only three districts
are certainly Republican. tive positively
Democratic, two probably Republican,
and two probably Democratic. The
change in the probable outcome of the
election has been brought about by a
variety of causes, not the least of which
is a temperance agitation

dig and no irrigation to plan as
In some OF the western states;
no drought 10 fear, as in the
southwest; no foods 10 dread as
IN the rich bottom lands OF the
lower Mississippi; no leyees to
build or fertilizers to buy, as in
the elder agricultural counties,
and no past record OF failure to
hover over and to alarm the man
who plows and reaps in the
wheat garden OF the Universe.
The land that was put in crop
eleven years ago is as fertile to-
day as thea. Yearly, there is no
iimlnution IN tile productive
qualities OF this unequaled land.

BE Sure and Vote.

Sioux City Journal: Every
legal voter in Dakota this year
ought to cast a ballot. 1t is To
the interest OF the territory in
many ways to show as large a
vote as possible, but the danger
is that the vote is far short of be-
ing toll. 1t is generally under
stood III the territory that the
delegateship is virtually already
determined. The only question,
on either side of politics, is felt
to be a question pertaining to
the size OF Capt. Raymond's ma
iority. The effect of this is cal
culated to deter many men from
voting who would otherwise ex-
ert themselves to get to the
polls. AT best, in country of
such distance, it is not easy to
get out Il full vote; yet it is hard
to satisfactorily explain to the
crowded east the conditions that
have rendered the vote other
than representative of tho popu-
lation of the territory. SO It
NAV as well be understood III
advance that the returns Of the
November election will he gem
orally taken as "A basis of caicnla-
tion upon the number Of people

sonal interest in the future of
the territory, and therefore has

be made up on the 7th of No.
vember. The tact that there is
no doubt of the result as be-
tween men and parties, should
not blind the electors to the re-
malniug important requirements
Involved in the election. 1t is
to be hopei, therefore, that sys-
tematic effort may be put forth,
in each community and each
county, to get out the voters, to
the end that tho totals may be
fairly represented.
