Indiana has put forward two of her ''fa 1884. Ono of these is Senator Harrison who is declared to have the hearty support of the Republicans of the State. Ex Senator Me Donald, on the other hand, is announced as the favorite candidate of the Democrats. A conference Of some leading Democrats of the western States has been held at Chicago for the purpose of making plans for his canvass. From the fact that Henry Watterson of Louisville, Ky, was in Chicago oa the day the conference was held, it is suspected that he is taking part in the movement in favor of Mcdonald.

perhaps 15 or 20 feet above your head, bulg- ing outward considerably and extending in straight line for 300 feet along the ground, and tell yourself that 1t Is only tree! The owners of the beautiful grove near the hotel have erected tall ladders to enable people to climb on to some of these heights and walk along the fallen trees as if on garden ter races It sounds cockney, but 1t Is decidedly pleasant to gain 8 view of the forest from an elevation of 30 feet, and it is not every one who can scale the red rampant without the aid of the ladders If you choose to chamber along the upturned roots you may find an airy seat some 40 feet above the ground. This sounds high, but on further cons!dera- tion you begin to marvel how such extraord1
 narily small roots can ever have formed @ fit pedestal for so ponderous weight. They have literally no depth and a comparatively small spread, 50 that they have merely superficial hold on the earths surface. Yet this slight support has enabled these huge bodies to resist the wild storms of many cen turies.- All the big trees of the district are concentrated in two groves, namely, the little forest gem of Calaveras, and much larger belt known as the South Park grove, on the StanisIaus river, about six miles further. In the Caaveras grove all the Sequoias lie with in of 50 acres over which space altogether about 100 lie scattered singly or in groups. Of these 20 attain circumference of about so feet near the base, and one, which
 is distinguished the Father Of the Forest, is found to measure 110 feet round. It now lies prostrate, and has apparently dons so for many century, for the well nigh inn perishable wood is in part decay, and long a chimney had burned out it's inside and destroyed it's summit ere it fell. The portion that still remains is like & long noun tain, and two large archways have been cut into the side of the said mountain in order that those whose taste lies in that line may ride into the hollow trunk and come out by the further opening. It is estimated that the tree, when perfect, must have been about 450 feet in height. Of the trees now stand ing, exceed 300 feet in height, and 1 meas ures 325 About 25 said to exceed 250 feet.

The Bar Association of New York city has interested itself in promoting the adoption of the Davis bill, passed in the United States Senate on May 12, 1881. This bill provides for the establishment of Line courts of ap- peal, greatly to the relief Of the Supreme court. Under this arrangement eight cen new circuit judges would be necessary, and they, together with the present judiciary, would be the proper resort for many appealed from the district and circuit courts. Cues tiong of law and certain questions Of fact could be carried from the appeals court to the Supreme court, which would thus be en, abled to keep up with its docket The Davis bill is preferable to all known propositions on the enlargement or division of the Su- preme court.

The Japanese journalist does not appear to lack ingenuity. A Japanese newspaper sus poets that missionaries are sent to Japan in the employ of American and English dealers in idols and images. These works of art, it says, bring high prices in Christian coun- tries, and the missionaries' plan of work is
 to shake faith in the popular religion so as to
 ! depreciate the value of the images and buy 1 them at prices ruinously cheap.

ABOUT THE FUTURE.

1t is now the ooted question have the
democrats come to stay? The democrats
have certainly good lead toward reach
ing the goal in 1884, but the opinion il
generally accepted that the result of the
next presidential election depends large
ly upon the action of both the political
parties for the next two years. Even
Governor Cleveland frankly admits this.
Should the democratic party insist on
again laundering and fail to give evil
dence of favoring reforms in the govern
ment the victories achieved this fall
would not prove of much service to it.
The people know pretty wellswhat they
want and have drawn up bill of partlc-
ulars ia their minds and the party that
is most likely to be the exponent and
friend of these demands will be trusted
with the reins of power. We do not be
lieve that the people stand ready to put
confidence in any party because of its
present name or solely for what it has
done in the past. Before it will be voted
worthy of trust it must show itself desery-
ing and able to deal with the future.

HOW IT WAS DONE.

Colonel Butt, republican candidate for
Member of Congress in the Seventh dis
trict, in al interview at Madison last
week, bears the following testimony as to
the causes which lead to his defeat. He
said:
Yes it's true, I am beaten by about
1000. The vote stands about as follows:
t'Vernon county 996 plurality for Butt;
Richland, 2f3 for Butt: Crawford, 200
for Woodward; La Crosse, 1874 fer
Wood ware; Juneau, 240 for Woodward.
and Monroe, $50 for Woodward. Wood
ward used money very freely, particular
ly in Vernon county. The Germans and
and Bohemians were afraid of prohibition
and to man voted the democratic tick
ct. Last year, Kaneuse, for governor,
got 1900 votes in our district; this year,
Parker got $500: every one of the 900
additional came from the republican par
ty. The prohibitionists have done the
mischief in the seventh district; they
hurt us both ways:-their vote came
from our side, and the scare they got up
frightened the Germans SO that they
Hooked over to the democracy, where
they knew no sentiments of prohibi-
ton could possibly prevail. There was
an issue in La Crosse county that served
to increase Woodward's vote in his own
home: the people there being anxious for
a government building in La Crosse city;
they were persuaded that the next house
was to be democratic at any event, and
that republican member would stand nc
show of securing the necessary appropri-
alton, so hundreds voted for Woodward
solely on that score. But the obstinacy
of the prohibitionists, in maintaining a
separate organization and raising an is
sue which was not national or political
in any sense, in purely political cam
paign, was what really defeated me, after
all; for otherwise ] would have pulled
through in spite of local factions.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1882-11-15
THE PROHIBITIONISTS.

What have the Prohibitionists of this
state accomplished? Their course has led
to the election of democrats to Congress
from the 1st and 9TH districts, making the
result in the 9th and 9th districts close
and doubtful, almost wiping out the re-
publican majority in the legislature end
giving the state to the democrats by TO-
900 majority. So far as can be ascertain
ed they do not elect a man in any quar-
ter of the state so that the only reward
they have for their canvass is in the de-
feat and disrupture of the Republican par
ty. Just how the Prohibition cause has
been advanced in Wisconsin by the ac-
ton of the Prohibitionists at the re-
cent election is not at all discernible.
Without having any possible chance
to rule their whole stock in trade lies
in what ruin they can infict Con the
Republican party. Having been in
s.Tumental in restoring the democratic
party we are somewhat solicitous to see
how much the democracy will do in return
in the way of temperance legislation for
their Prohibition co-laborers.

THERE il Just the least bit of curiosity
manifested to see what Mr.. Winans
will de in regard to his identity at Wash

Whether he will act independently of
both political parties, as he announced
his intention of doing in many parts Of
the district, and upon which theory he
received republican support, or act open
ly and unreservedly with the democratic
party, which all the democrats expect he
will do, remains matter to be solved in
the future.
