was too great, and she

Gen. Fairchild unequivocally de-
clines to allow the use of his name
as a candidate for congress. But
Dane county is not therefore with
out a candidate. Mr.. Robert NJ. La
Toilette, the present popular district
attorney of this county, will doubt
less be presented ~ the convention.
Mr. LaFollette's friends say they
will do this because: lst, they
know him to possess the qualifica-
tons to make an able, faithful rep
resentative ID, because he can the
most successfully compete with
Burr w. Jones at the polls in this
county, would surely be elected and
materially aid the National, State
and local ticket in this doubtful
county. Sd, they wish to avoid the
appearance of discriminating in
favor of the candidate of one of the
other counties of the district, and
against others, as would probably
be the case if they had no man of
their own to present. Dane county
cannot alone nominate, and Mr.. La
Toilette can only succeed by a con-
siderable number of delegates from
other counties voting for him, which
they will not do unless convinced
that his nomination is the wisest
and best attainable. Mr.. LaFollette's
friends say they hope to nominate
him because they expect to convince
the convention that it is to the in-
terest of the party of the whole
district to do so. If they succeed
or fail, they promise that he will
make some of the best speeches for
the Republican ticket ever heard in
this district. If Mr.. LaFolIette can
do as well on the stump as he has
done on decoration day and 4th of
July occasions, their promise will
surely be redeemed. W. HE.

quiry into his personal character.
To genuine Republican it is not a
practical question, for he is going
to vote against Cleveland any way
for reasons outside of personal char
acter. But the most egregious
blunder of all is for the Governors
political friends to threaten retalia-
ton. That would settle it. The
American people know Mr.. Blaine's
domestic life, and no small part of
his popularity is due to the fact that
the Blaine household has come to
be an illustrious example Of an ideal
American home. To attack that
with the filth of the "your re another"
argument will bury the Democracy
under Pelion upon Ossa of pupu-
lar execration.

Young Men for Congress.


The following comments of the
Milwaukee Sentinel on the sugges-
ton of r M. LaFollette as a candi-
date for Congress, will apply with
equal force to others named, and es-
pecially to Phillip Allen, Jr. Mr..
Allen is somewhat olQer than Mr..
LaFollette, but is younger man
than we have been won't to see pre-.
sented for Congress, and his lack of
years and experience may be raised
in objection. On this subject of age
the Sentinel says:
Several days ago a Madison dis
patch was printed in the Sentinel re-
porting that there was movement
III the Third Congressional district
70 bring forward Il Nj. LaFoilette,
of Dane county, as candidate be-
fore the coming Republican conven-
ton to receive the nomination for
congress. 1t was said that the move
ment originated among the young
men of he party Since the publ
cation of the dispatch we have re.
ceived private letter from young
Republican of the Third district, in
which he says that the principal oh
lection brought against Mr.. La
Toilette is his youth, and asking
what we think of the propriety of
his nomination.
We have no disposition to instruct
the Republicans of the Third dis
trict respecting the choice they shall
make of candidate, nor have we
any personal acquaintance with Mr
LaFollette to enable us to Judge of
his qualifications for properly dis
charging the duties of representa-
tive in congress. The little we
know respecting him is that he grad
uated at the State university few
years ago, and that be first attracted
public notice while student in the
university, by winning the prize of
ora.ory both in contest between
representatives of the students OF
the several colleges in this state,
and, later, in the Interstate contest
III which students from the various
colleges of the North western states
contended for it, After graduating,
he studied law, and began the prac-
tice of his profession at Madison
Two years ago he was elected dis
trict attorney of Dane county, run
ming largely ahead of his ticket.
lis has also from time to time taken
part as a speaker in the political cam
paigns in his part of the state. The
record, as far as it goes, is fair
one, but whether Mr.. LaFollette pos
sesses the qualities which would hit
him for success in the national leg
islature in such an eminent degree
that he ought to be preferred TO
other candidates mentioned, we have
not the data for Judging.
In general, it IS safe to say that
his age is no objection. We be-
lieve he is about thirty. All the
gentlemen spoken of in connection
with the nomination in the Third
district are without experience IN
congressional service. If none OF
the others is intellectually superior
to Mr.. LaFollette, while they have
reached or passed middle age, then
his age is a strong argument in his
favor The men who have made
the highest reputation in the nation
al legislature, and welded the
greatest influence, have almost IN
yariably entered congress when
young. Calhoun was IS when first

the man most acceptable on the north
side of the river, and unobjection-
able on the south side. There would
be no Improperly in the Iowa
county delegates Withholding their
votes from all Richland county can
didates until it is apparent which, if
either Of the aspirants fills the bill
as to merit, capability and strength.
THE Iowa County Democrat, with
far less editorial penetration than
usually characterizes the manage
ment of that paper, copied an article,
claiming that, many years ago, Gen.
John A Logan was an advocate of a
law enacted by the Illinois legisla
ture, making it punishable offense
to give aid to any colored man, wo-
man or child; and called attention
to it as something particularly calcu-
lated to snake it lively for Repub
leans" While we think it extreme
ly doubtful that Gen. Logan adyo-
Gated such law, yet we are com
PEELED to admit that a law Of this
character was passed by the Illinois
legislature, and that since it has
come to be looked upon by all classes
as unworthy the approval of an en-
! lightened and christianized people.
But, justice compels us to state an
other very significant fact which has
become yeritable portion of our
country's history: That laws of this
character never found Judgement
upon the statute book of Illinois, or
elsewhere, except through the in-
suumentaity of the Democratic
party; and if the doubtful story of
Gen. Logan's advocacy OF such q
law should prove to be true, it should
not be forgotten that he was ut that
time in full fellowship with the
! Democratic party; nor should the
logical inference be lost sight of,
that any credence which may have
been given this story has arisen en-
tire from the fact that by so doing
he harmonized with the party with
which at that time he cooperated.
Since Gen. Logan Identified himself
with the Republican party he has
for nearly quarter century been a
conspicuous figure in public life
His opposition to whatever he deem.
ed adverse to the country's highest
interest or contrary to sound policy,
has been bold and Independent. His
advocacy Of measures which met his
approval has been characterized by
an uuwaycring drmness; and among
I the many public enactments sup
ported by him, with a courage and
ability, which has given him a ma
ional reputation, there is not one
upon which the lapse of time has
set the seal Of disapproval. During
the oyenful period Gen Logan has
acted with the Republican party,
he career has been such as to gain
for him the cotemporaneous respect
and esteem of his countrymen, as
well as to insure him an enyiable
place in this country's history.

REFERRING to the Republican con
vention for nominating State Sen
ator, the Dodgeville Chronicle says:
eve understand that there are a
number of candidates for the posi-
ton in Richland county, among
them being Messrs. w. j. Waggoner,
=. NJ. Smith, Elihu Baily, James
Washburn and n. /. James. IL be-
ing Richland county's "turn" for the
office, we have heard of no active
candidates among the statesmen of
Iowa county, but we doubtless have
a number of good men over here
who would not decline the honor if
the nomination was forced upon
them" Because il is Richland
county's "turn" is not sufficient
reason for the nomination of aRich
land county man unless he is equally
as capable and worthy, and as gen
orally acceptable to the whole dis
trict, as any resident of Iowa county
who may be named. Especially
should the delegation from Iowa
county avoid throwing their votes
for a Richland county candidate,
unless it clearly appears that he is
the man most acceptable on the north
side of the river, and unobjection-
able on the south side. There would
be no improperly in the Iowa
county delegates Withholding their
votes from all Richland county can
didates until it is apparent which, if

The Pipe Coming Into Favor

From the Albany Argus.
/ understand that large number of
American gentlemen will adopt the
English fashion of smoking pipe rath-
er than cigars. To be in good form
the pipe must be handsome, and the to-
bacco of the very best quality. This is
very sensible innovation, and / am
heart and soul with the movement. No
true lover of the weed but prefers an
old "dudeen" to the best cigar ever
rolled. Dudes and exquisites, perhaps,
are not equal to pipe, but they have
no business to touch anything stronger
than cigarettes. A pipe gives the true
flavor of the tobacco, and it keeps the
weed from coming in contact with the
very delicate mucous membrane lining
the mouth. Not the least reason why
pipes are desirable is their comparative
cheapness. The day of lavish expen-
diture has gone by, and no young man
is ashamed to show economy in his lab-
its. There is great deal of prejudice
against smoking pipes in the street. and
this is all very well, but should also ex-
tend to cigars. No man should smoke
on public thorough-fare in the day
time, but if he does, natty pipe looks
just as we'll as an imported Henry
Clay" The odor of pipe is thought
disagreeable but this is simply because
it is associated with rank tobacco. The
mild grades long cut" have very rich
fragrance, and contain, 1 believe no de-
leterious essences.
Pipes have been sung by the poets,
but where no cigars figure in song? All
of romance and sentiment circles up
ward in the thick, yellow clouds pulled
from the bowl of a pipe, and not in
the thin blue haze of the overrated
cigari

People interested in fast trotters have
been excited by the recent exploits of
jaw Eve-See and Maud S., owned by
William A. Vanderbilt. AT Narragan-
set Park, near Providence, ay-Eye-See
trotted mile in the marvellous time of
2 10 reducing the record one quarter OF
a second from the best previous time OF
. los made by Maud S. This was a
triumph indeed, but Maud S still heads
the list of trotters, her laurels as the
fastest trotter on earth having been worn
but "a hours by her most dangerous
competitor, Jay-Eye-See. The next
dav at Cleveland in the presence OF at
least 5000 people Maud S. managed
not only to lower ner own record OF
2:1Ob but to wipe out as 1.-THE
best record, that of JayEye-See made
Mt Providence yesterday, by trOtting a
mile. IN 2O9a. There isno disputing
the record of performance as unex-
pected as it was unprecedented. To add
to the credit of the performance Is the
fact that the mile was trotted without
a skip or break, and the mare had no
companion in the way of a runner tc
urge her on, an assistance which jay
Eye-See enjoyed at Providence. In
view of the gradual shortening of time
since Flora Temple astonished the
world by making a mile in 2:1s, it
Is not deemed hazardous to predict
that within ten years trotter will be
nrodueed which will make mile In
wo minutes.
