There is a desire upon the part of Re-
publieans to have the convention at
Madison, April 30, make such selee-
ton of delegates as will speak the mind
of the party of the state at the National
Convention. 1t is not DESTROYS that
Postmaster Payne of Milwaukee, or
Chairman Sanderson make these selec-
lions, but that the delegates there as
sembled be left free to give the express
sion of the constituency which sent
them there. Ii a system of rolling
and intimidation is to be inaugurated by
those who claim to carry the vote of
Wisconsin in their hip pocket, the best
thing the delegates can do is to return
to their homes and leave the managers
to do their work in another way. The
vote of Wisconsin is too valuable to be
given out at the dictation of few men.

Last week a man named G.. III. Hoist,
who was acting in the capacity of local
banker at New Halstein, this State,
failed with liabilities of $4,000, and his
assets are reported to be $4,000. Among
the victims of Hoist are to be numbered
clerks, teachers. servants, keepers,
farmers, etc While the banks of the
country were paying only four and five
per cent. interest to depositors, Hoist
held out as an inducement for people to
leave their earnings with him that he
would pay eight per cent. This, of
course, caught all those of small means,
and the ones least able to lose their
money. As the principal creditors are
Milwaukee and Chicago people, the as
sets will be swallowed up before the
home creditors can get chance at the
remains. The failure is said TO be due
to private speculations INDUCED in by
Hoist.
AS the time approaches for the assem-
bling of district, county and state con-
ventions, the people are beginning to
inquire what shall be done towards Civ
ing the public their voice in the final
outcome? The proper place to do this
work is at the primaries, where the
people assemble en- masse, and where a
satisfactory expression OF their desires
can be obtained. If the electors of any
town have preference for particular
individual they should 50 express them
selves and elect such delegates as will
give voice to their choice. So on
through the various conventions, until
the delegates to the National convention
are chosen. AS such a practice has
rarely been INDUCED in by the voters.
it would, perhaps, be a little unpopular
at first, but constant practice would
soon make the matter as plain and as
easily accomplished as could be desired
From the number of Presidential can
didates that have been presented to the
public by the Republican press, it is i'm.
possible to say, at present, which one
would be the choice of the electors oil
Wisconsin. Chester A. Arthur, John
A. Logan and Lucius Fairchild are
without doubt, the most prominent can.
didates. in the minds of Wisconsin Re.
publicans, named; while Senator Ed
munds and James G. Blaine have a few
friends in the state. The convention al
Madison, April 30,will decide the choice
of Wisconsin, and in the meantime the
voters should give full expression OF
their choice at the primaries.

the rigging was frozen and the deck was
covered with ice. The storm still ragged
and tremendous seas swept over the
almost helpless vessel. shortly before

the main gaf and starbOard j0ist OF the

ton Of the crew little canvas could

The Country to be Divided in Six Dis
triets and the Profits Divided.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-The Age Of Steel
prints a statement on the authority Of
persons largely interested in the iron
trade that scheme is on foot to pool the
entire pig iron industry of the country.
The plan is to divide the country into six
districts, each to be represented in the
pool on basis made up from the tonnage
producing capacity of the district and
the profit earning capacity per ton as
shown by the work of a series of years.
Each furnace in the district is TO share
in The districts share of general pool on
a basis determined in the same way. One
of the Caief objects of the scheme is TO
ascertain the exact product Of pig iron IN
the country, and With this information in
the hands of an executive committee
having authority to shut down, it can be
ordered at any time TO let the demand
catch up with the supply and prices be
thus made regular and steady. 1t is also
proposed that any time the furnaces are
ordered to be stopped for any reason each
Will draw its share Of profits from the
pool as though 1t were in blast. The 4qe
If Steel saws that the scheme originated
among the furnace men of the Lehigh
valley, but that strong efforts will be
made 10 carry il out among the furnace
men in other parts Of the country, and

to-day to nominate officers, resulting in
what is regarded as the choice Of Payne

was solid against him. senator Pruden

from Cincinnati and against Pendleton.
They had the appointing Of joint CON-
mittee of three from each caucus, and ap-
pointed all anti-Pendleton men. Tue
committee called a joint caucus to-
night, which decided to makt-
the Senatorial nomination Tuesday

HERRLASKER'SLIFEOYER
TAKEN SUDDENLY I'LL AND
DYING IN 4 STABLE.

Stricken by His Illness While Walking
Home In New York after Dining with
Banker Seiigmau-Sorrow at the News
at Galveston, Where His Brother Re
sides.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Dr. Edward Las
kerr, the eminent German known
TO the world Of politics as Herr
Lasker, died suddenly of heart dis
ease this morning at 1 O'Clock in
this city, Herr Lasker, who had been on
a visit to this country since May last,
had been at dinner at the house Of
Jesse Seligman. the banker. and was rc-
turning home III q carriage " hen stricken
By the sudden and fatal attack. Herr
Lasker died in the arms Of Mr.. Seligman.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5, Il P. M.-The state
merit that Herr Lasker died in the arms
OK Jesse Seligman is an error. The latest
and probably the correct account Of the
circumstances is as follows: Herr Las
ker dined last evening with Mr.. Seiigman
and remained until after IL O'Clock. He
then started to walk to his rooms, accom-
panied by a friend named Wasserman.
When he took his departure he seemed in
good health and spirits. After walking
a few blocks Herr Lasker was taken with
a fit Of coughing. which he could not
check. He refused to stop and obtain
medical assistance. When Twenty-eighth
street was reached Herr Lasker pressed
| his hand against his heart and staggered.
Mr.. Wassermau threw his arms about
him, preventing him from falling, and
called upon a passing citizen for help.
The citizen responded and Herr Lasker
, was carried to private stable near by and
laid upon a lot Of buffalo robes
and blankets. A physician was called
but too late to be Of any service. Ths
pulse was still beating lightly. bat even
this slight movement only lasted few
minutes. DR.. Lasker was unmarried and
had no near relatives beyond a brother in
Galveston and a cousin in this city. He
was a Prussian by birth, a lawyer
by profession and a politician
by practice. The opening of the
Reichstag required Herr Lasker's
presence at Berlin, and passage TO Ger
maay had been engaged for him on the
steamer Main that is to sail January 26.
1t Will now carry his embalmed body
instead.
GALVESTON. Jan. 5.-AIOrris Lasker, a
brother Of Herr Lasker, who died in New
York to-day, left for that city this after
noon. Mr.. Lasker is one OF the leading
merchants Of this city. Flags here are at
half-mast to-day, and many wholesale
I houses have closed their doors as a tribute
I to tle dead statesman.

A New Version Of the Recent A ccident-
Nihilists at Its Bottom.

=
Nihilists at Its Bottom.
VIENNA, Jan. 5.-The latest version of
the recent accident to the Car is as fol-
lows: The Car was returning about 3
O'Clock in the evening, December II, TO
the Gatschina Palace from a shooting ex-
cursion, accompanied by his suite in three
sledges with number of servants. Al
though darkness was coming on the party
noticed on the road ahead men, appar-
emily peasants. The Czar's Aides-de-
camp drove forward and ordered the men
TO clear out of the way. The men saluted
the officers and appeared TO obey the or
der, but when the Cars sled came on
level with them they suddenly wheeled
around and fired at the Car thrice, and
two Of them ran toward him. The
horses drawing the imperial sledge be-
came frightened and gallOped some tun-
dred PAGES, when the Gar was thrown
out Of the sledze. A bullet lodged in the
Cars shoulder. 1t offers, however, no
danger. The Cars followers Immediately
embarrassed their sledge horses, mounted
them aud followed the wOuld-be assass ms,
who escaped in a neighb0ring wood.
Owing to the depth Of the snow the pGr-
suit wss fruitless. One Of the pursuing
officers yentured too far and has not re-
turned.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Telegraph, refer
ring 10 the foregoing, says: wv neither this
story is true or untrue the revival OF
Nihilism is undOubted. The Nlhilist EX-
ecutye Committee promised to give the
present Gar a fair trial. No constitution
and no REFORMS have been granted,
although he promised them. His trial IS
therefore at IN end,
II. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-A Nlhilist
proclamation circulated here announces
that Lieut.. Col. Sude!&en was condemned
to he executed by the Nihilist executive
committee. Nine. Wolkenstein, 10 whose
recent arrest the murder of Col. Sudeik4n
has been attributed, is a sister OF the lady
ho shared in all the attempts against
the late Gar and who was finally hanged.
The proclamation also contains 4 terrorist
article directed against the Gar per-
sonally. Much anxiety prevails at the
GatschIna Palace.
