WISCONSIN.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. Sat no pre-
vious election in Wisconsin has there ever
been such a delay in receiving returns from
the state as the present time. For twenty
four hours figures have been coming in in
dribblets, and are so scattered about the
state that it has been almost impossible to
form a reliable estimate on any particular
section. The respective headquarters of the
Republican and Democratic central commit
tees Of this city have been crowded during
the entire by the party leaders from various
parts of the state, and an interested popu-
lace. About the Republican headquarters
was for the greater part OF the
time crowd of thousand
or more. massed in front of the building
fold Milwaukee Club house, unable to gain
admittance. Bulletins from all parts of the
Union are regularly received and announced
from the balcony Of the building. The great
interest was centered in New York, and as
telegram after telegram told of the outlook
in that state, wild cheers we're given by the
enthusiastic crowd. Late in the afternoon
Gen. Fairchild, of Madison, appeared and
was greeted with deafening cheers. He was
lifted bodily from the ground and carried in

to the large reception room, and in respopse
TO determined calls, delivered an enthusiastic
five minute speech, expressing his conf
dence of a Republican victory having been
won. Brief speeches were also made bv other
prominent gentlemen present Consider
ing that Wisconsin Republicans have in this
county, in addition to assisting outside
states, worked single handed and alone,
furnishing their own funds and speakers,
they feel that the result of their labors is
leading achievement of the contest They
have elected the entire state ticket, secured
the legislature and gained four congress-
men. Returns from the deciding precincts
of the Sixth congressional district now as
sure the election of Guenther, Republican,
which had been in doubt until this evening.
This will make the states congressional rep
resentation stand seven Republicans and two
Democrats. At this hour the majoOties of
these are not materially changed from figures
given this afternoon. Returns from 43S
towns and wards show a net Democratic gain
of 1,71S on the presidential ticket as COM
pared with 1850. Should a proportionate
gain be shown for the Democratic ticket in
the remaining precincts, Blaine will have
carried the state by 10000, but the later re-
turns are showing a smaller average gain for
the Democratic ticket.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. s., GAS p. m.-Returns
from 592 towns aul wards, which include
over One-half the states entire vote, show a.
net Democratic gain Of 1856.

THE E4RTff is OuRS.

The claim made by the GLOBE yesterday
morningof PIG votes for Cleveland is fully
verified by the latest news received up TO
o'clock this morning.
1t was not altogether a cloudless sky,
for during yesterday afternoon Democratic
JOY suffered a temporary eclipse. The
false claims and figures sent ont under Jay
Gould's manipulation Of the telegraph wires
had depressing effect, but in the evening
glad tidings were again resumed and the
good news Of yesterday is more than con-
frmed.
The n. Y. Sun, paper violently hostile to
Cleveland, has returns from every precinct
in New York and gives the State to Cleye-
land by 1,648.
The Associated Press, which is always
hostile to the Democrats, gives the state to
Cleveland by THREE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND SIXTY SIX.
Now let the Democratic JOY break forth
afresh.
The battle has been CALAMITY fought and
nobly won.

Malone telegraphed confirmation of the re-

This news was very consolatOry to those of
Blaine's friends who were still doubtful
about New York. Early in the evening a
dispatch was received announcing Cali fornia

Oregon by at least 1000. Several discour-

ER4NCE mn CHTNA-

The French war in China, with all its
buster and assumption of doing great things,
is after all, but very trihing affair, so far as
making any injurious impression on that
Empire is concerned. The Chinese govern
ment remains serene, undisturbed and de-
FAINT and is so little affected that it scorns
the idea Of asking the madiotion of any
power between itself and France.
The Chinese government, intrenched in
its businesses at Pekin, surrounded by its
millions of population, looks upon the bonn
bardment of a few outposts, or maritime
towns of the Empire as a mere bagatelle.
Such trifies make no Advancement towards
conquering or humiliating the vast Empire.
The Chinese will beat France, in its
vast war-like adventure, by the effective pol
icy of "masterly inactivity" To make any
appreciate impression on China, and to
arouse its government to active resistance,
France must send a great army of many
thousands of soldiers, to penetrate the inte-
rior, aud thunder at the very gates Of Pekin
Itself.
This France cannot do. She cannot raise
and equip and sustain such an army of iuva-
sion and she dare not press into the military
service for such war-like enterprise the
flower of her population, or spare them from
her territory leaving herself comparatively
defenseless and exposed to the exactions OF
other powers, and run the risk even of the
overthrow of her present governmental dy-
nasty.
It would seem that but one of two things
remains for France, either to hack down OF
to raise an army of invasion of a hundred
thousand soldiers, aud march on Peldn, tho
last of which she has neither the resource:
nor the men to enable her to do. 1t is not
very difficult to see what must be the out
come of this Fran Chinese war.

millions. The wealth OF this region It is said
can hardly be exaggerated. and its trade and
industrial interests are capable of almost IN
limited expansion.
The French and Germans are striving for
the supremacy in this country, while the
English are quietly, but perseveringly push
ing their trade into that country, aud the ir
exports already aggregate three millions an
nually, with possibilities OF vast increase.
The Dutch are also said TO be doing an in D.
mense business. The exports OF the Congo
valley reached ten million dollars last year,
and the profits Of the trade are said to be very
arge. The Congo river is said to be one OF
the largest in the world, exceeding in vol
ume the waters of the Mississippi. In the
great central basin OF Africa It offers 400
miles of nayigable water. In times Of food
II is said its turbid waters may be observed
hundred miles at sea. Its val
ley is rich in palm oil. wild coffee, ivory and
timber.

and Germany have already agreed upon the

INDIAN CIVTLfZATION.

There seems TO be some hope OF solving
the Indian problem without continuing un-
ending appropriations for the ''savages," or,
by wronging them, melting Indian wars. By
statistics Of the Interior department at Wash
ington, it is ascertained that at the present
time, more Indians are living in homes, and
less number in tepees than ever before and
more devoting themselves TO farming, and a
fewer number are devoting themselves TO
hunting. Schools for Indian children are
better attended, and more of the adult In
dams are accepting mechanical instruction,
and more are becoming self-supporting and
less will be required Of the government in
the future in the shape Of annuities. The
true solution of the long vexed Indian ques-
ton is, to civilize the aborigines and to
train them into the ways, habits and Gus
toms of civil life, education and labor.
Civilization and Christianity are the true
modifers of Indian character, instead of war
and bloodshed, cheating, wroLging and OPP
pressing them.
