first ball at the Opera House last

We are in receipt of the first BIZ
ennial report of the bureau of labor
statistics of Wisconsin. 1t is com.
piled by Frank A. Flower, commits
sioner of the bureau, and contains a
great deal of statistics, mainly in
relation to the manufacturing inter
terests of the state, including the
labor employed in manufacturing.
If the figures given and the deduc-
tons made were accurate and cor
rect, it would doubtless be very
valuable book. There is, however,
one chapter on Tariff Tabulations y
which is so worthless by reason OF
being unreliable and colored by the
authors own erroneous ideas upon
the subject, as to cast discredit upon
the remainder Of the work. Lists
are given showing the capital, wages
paid, and the products of manufac-
turers who deem the tariff bene-
fetal and of those who deem it det-
rimental, respectively. The products
of those who favor so-called pro-
lection aggregate s25,568,279, while
of those opposed to protection only
S3,S54,G37. Evidently Mr.. Flower
believes that this array Of figures
strikes crushing blow at those who
advocate more rational tariff laws.
The logic Of events is proving every
day that hardly any class of men is
more deluded as to the benefits Of
high tariff than the manufacturers
themselves, many of them believing
it their only hope and salvation,
while in fact it is crushing them.
But, according the views of the
manufacturers who desire high tariff
taxes all the respect which the COM
missioner of labor statistics could
desire, his own report contains evil
dence more than enough to outweigh
them. By a comparison of tables
of figures which it contains it is
readily seen that the importance of
the industries which are set down as
benefited by protection are in great
disproportion to the Importance Of
agriculture and other unprotected
industries which are heavily bur-
dcned in the name of protection.

luton recommending Col. w. f.

one worthy and well qualified to fill

date for L. S. senator, the Madison
Democrat says:
Tho democratic legislative caucus worhily
b,suows its compliment in nominating gen.
EDWARD S. Bragg as the one TO receive the votes
ol the democracy for Intod states senator. No
man -lnuds stronger IN the respect of people Of

career as II soldier and statcsnnn is as honor

1t is unnecessary to contrast Gen.
Bragg with Col Spooner, whom the
republican members of the lcgisla-
ture selected to represent Wisconsin
in the United States senate, and
who, according to themselves, was
the candidate Of professional poll
tician5 and monopolists, and not the
choice of the people.

The Teller alludes TO the state

"A DEMOCRATIC THANKSGIVING.

1t is rather difficult for democrats
to temper their rejoicings with mod
Grafton. They still feel good over
the result of the election, and believe
that if democracy has been dead,
then surely there is a resurrection
from the dead, and that is right to
rejoice and give thanks evermore.
The following, which first appeared
in the Chicago Herald, but partially
describes the feelings of the average
democrat:
Make me II turkey sandwich,
tnrnished with wolf and deer,
rs the first thanksgiving of pleasure
I've had for many year.
Fry me "A dozen oysters;
over them clam juice pour:
Let me feed till my mouth runs over.
Giving thanks for 81
Fetch me Il bear and bison
From the tracks of the western plains;
Bring me a buffalo bleeding,
For the wallop of Jane G. Blaine.
Throw me an acre of ilaplacks
Soaked i'll wild goats cream:
Hold me minute waiter,
TIL shrek an old time scream.
tive me a Jefferson doughnut
Smothered with Jackson Juice
knock in the head of Il barrel
Give me chance 10 get loose.
Oh for II bite of pumpkin
As big as mountain top;
oh, for II forty horse biscuit
Dipped in some elephant sop.
>trangle me an alligator,
Bring me a terrapin live;
Turn me loose in the honey
Aud let me rout out the hive.
For Eve been waiting yes, waiting,
Twenty four years ON fast.
But now we've got EN- yes, got EN-.
The dcmoCratss there at last.
Rub me down with q coon skin
shove me in tigers lair;
I'm goat, I'm an old hyena,
I'm n wolf I'm grizzly bear
Let me give thanks for n million
Let me dance, let me yell and sing
Let me rise IN as old Ebenezer
Let me ride on an angels wing.
Cleveland and Hendricks have got there
Twenty four years we were out
Give me IL derrick for a litter,
And let me raise up shout.

Senator Warner has introduced a
bill in the legislature providing for
keeping all the ballots for six
months after an election. In view
Of the recent election fraud in
Chicago we do not think that Mr..
Warmers bill ought to become a
law. 1t seems the better way to
have all ballots publicly counted,
and to destroy all over which there
can lie no question raised at the
time. 1t is enough to preserve de-
lcclive ballots.

gone and the lights are out. Gaia

schools and colleges to seek the favor
