Republican Senators i'm Caucus-TsIk-

 Tenn.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Immediately after the adjournment of the Senate to-day a caucus of the Republican Senators was held to discuss the appointment of g president pro tenn. to succeed Senator Edmunds, who has indicated his desire to be relieved. The caucus did not agree upon nomination. There was general interchange of views in regard to the selection of Senator Anthony which were all expressive of the most friendly feeling toward that gentleman. On account of his i'll health, however, in order to ascertain his wishes, it was decided that it would be best to confer with the Senator on the subject before taking action. For this purpose committee of three was ap- pointed with instructions to report at 8 future caucus.

 The Tax on Bank CfEculatfOn-NOt Mach
 Chance for Its Repeal.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Chairman Buckner of the House Committee on Banking and Currency, said to reporter to-day that he does not believe the proposition to repeal the tax on national bank circulation can be car ried through the House. It may get through the committee though that is doubtful. He is confident that it will, however, be defeated in the House. He says there are Republi- can who will vote against it. Mir. Buckner also said that there is no feeling of hostility that he is aware of in the committee against the national banks He added that there is some difference of opinion as to the best method of providing for the exigency which presents itself by the calling in of per cents and that this difference exists among the members who are strong friends of the banks. For instance MT. Potter of New York has bill to meet the case which differs from tha proposed by Comptroller Knox.

THE COLD SNAP.

As will be seen from our dispatches this
morning the phenomenal weather from
which QUO Wheeling folks are suffering is
pretty general It is perhaps the coolest
snap at this hate season that We have had
for twenty-five years. On the morning OF
the 9TH day Of June, ls59 there was frost
that laid everything low. As the weather Is
dry and We are in the light Of the moon, 1t
Is to be hoped that vegetation will not suffer
50 much from the prescn, cold spell How
ever il gives everything a backser, and moth
ing will mature 50 wen as it would have
done if the warm weather had continued.
These cold waves at unreasonable times are
always hard ON the human system. They
affect the nerves, and are particularly hard
on old and delicate persons.

Of time to convince history that it is all
wrong, and to say at this time Of day, that
q woman shall be permitted to pursue the
voc. ton to which her tastes lead her and
for which her studies have qualified her.
Tbs decision is exactly in point Where
there is no prohibition there is liberty. The
fair implication in this case is, that since
the University was established for the bene-
fit of tie pouth Of IVES, Virginia, it means
the whole youth and not single class or
sex. There can be no question but that
the young ladies NAV demand and enforce
heir rights 20 admission into the State

demand and We insist that the Board OF

icv, under existing circumstances, that
would close the doors of that institution

HAUL DOWN THE COLORs.
Grover Cleveland Declared President
Elect, the Result of the
Official Canvass.

The official canvass of New York State
by counties gives the Cleveland and
Hendricks electors a plurality, thereby
giving the Democratic nominees the 36
electoral votes of the States, and total
of 219, majority of the electoral col
lege, and insuring the election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks.
The official amour cement of the result
of the canvass in New York city, as
made to Smith E Weed, of the Democrat
ic State Executive Committee, last Sat-
urday, places the vote of the highest
Blaine elector on the ticket at 1903,
while the lowest Cleveland elector is
1873, 1877. This leaves a clear plurality for
Cleveland of 1904 in the city, and 1,O95
in the State for the lowest electors against
the highest.
The Republican committee and news
papers give up the contest and universal
ly bespeak the hearty acquiescence of the
people.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1884-11-19

WE know it is popular just now for
Republicans to speak contemptuously of
St. John and his supporters. But we are
free to say that we think such talk is un-
just. Those people who voted for John
P. St. John for President had as good q
right to do so as the men who voted for
Blaine, Cleveland or Butler, and if they
did so from principle they should be
honored for it. The st. John vote did
not come from politicians or sore-heads,
but from men who are thoroughly indie
pendent of politics and politicians. The
so-called Independents" or better
named, Republican sore heads, of the
Conkling stripe, are the ones who should
be berated if any are to be.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1884-11-19

GENTLEMEN, be calm, and let the TRAN
SCRIPT tell you something. IT'S true
that Cleveland is elected, but it will make
but little difference to the most OF US.
We voted for Blaine, and vainly hoped
for his election, but the President cannot
max or unmake single law. The lower
house of Congress has been in the hands
of Democrats for several years, and no
great harm done. The greatest difference
will be that the off1ce-holder will go out,
and the effice-seeker will go in, but the
world will wag on, and no great harm
come to this great and prosperous nation
in the short space of four years. No,
friends, Satan himself, in the Presidential
chair, could not spoil this country in four

Mr.. w. G.. Elliott commenced the winter
term of Rose Creek school, on Monday.
IT is the intention of the school law to pro-
hibt districts from engaging third grade
teachers without the express sanction Of the
County Superintendent. In fact, third
grade certificate is not valid until the number
authorized to teach, is inserted. It is unwise
for third grade teachers to try to engage
large and advanced schools. A hint in this
direction should be sufficient.

The chief coffee-consuming country in
the world is the United States, and the
coffee trade is one of the leading items
of our foreign commerce, the value Of
our coffee imports during the year end
ing with last June being $49, 949, 1928.
This was an increase of nearly 19,OOO,-
600 pounds in the amount consumed as
compared with the previous year, and it
is evident that coffee is outrivalling tea
in America, although it is said that the
general verdict of the world is in favor
of tea, but it is believed that coffee of
the best quality, properly prepared, is
sure to be preferred to tea almost any
where. Unfortunately, very few people
ever taste such coffee. The greater part
of the coffee used in this country comes
from Brazil, and it's excellence may ex-
plain the rapid increase of the consump-
ton by our peOple.-Er.
