In the language Of the Inter
ocean we can but declare the Presi-
dents message to Congress upon
its converting, ga model of adriot-
ness" We do not say that it is in
sincere; we merely remark that it is
evasive. 1t is full of good points,
but they are points that would have
been as good in an after-dinner
speech to a non-partisan body of
politicians as in an address to Con
gress. The President reoapitulates
all that everybody knew, and indi-
Gates all that everybody believed.
He suggests nothing. Briefly, the
Presidents message is a not inele-
giant process verbal of the present
domestic conditions and foreign re-
lations of the country. 1t contains
nothing over which the Bourbon
Democracy can be rapturous, moth
ing at which the Mugwumps can
take violent fright 1t says nothing
about civil-service reform. The
Mugwumps can construe silence
into consent, and the Democrats
into contempt of the doctrines of
advanced reform. 1t is a message
whose caution may prevent severe
criticism, but where vigor will not
excite enthusiasm. And it leaves
him free to avow or disavow the
revolutionary tendencies of his
Secretary Of the Treasury.

The death of Congressman VIM.
T. Price, the representative of the
Eighth Congressional district of
this state, occurred at his home in
Black River Falls, Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Price was in his 63d year
of his age, and came to this state,
when young man, from Pennsyl-
vania. He engaged in numbering
and had amassed fortune. From
an early period he took an active
part in politics. He has served as
county judge, was member of the
assembly two terms, of the senate
four terms, and was one of the
presidential electors in 1868. He
was elected to congress in 1882, re-
elected in 1884, and again elected
the present year. He returned
from Washington at the close of
the last congress with impaired
health, but was not considered dan
gerously i'll until a short time prev
ious to the election. His malady
was cancer of the stomach.

The various county officers seem
rather slow in sending the children.
Several counties have written to
ascertain if they cannot send more

THE year 1856 seems destined to
go into history as the great strike
year. The Commissioner of Labor
Statistics for New York reports
that up to the present time he has
received information of 1000
strikes in that State. His last annual
report made mention of bat Pop, al
though there were some not re-
ported. The record of other States
would probably show a similar re-
markable Increase in the number of
strikes.

But little speculation is heard as
to the next state tickets. More
people are heard to express the opin-
ion that Rusk and Timme, and per-
haps other state officers, will be re-
nominated by republicans, than any
thing different. Governor Rusk
invariably states that he does not
want a denomination. He has had
whatever of honor there is in the
governorship, and pecunlarily it is
not profitable. But, as he says, if
the convention thinks it best for the
party TO nominate him, he should
not feel at liberty to decline. The
party having taken him as its can
didate when he desired it, he could
not do less than carry the standard !,
if called upon to do SO in another
campaign, though preferring to fol-
low some other as leader.
Congressman LaFollette is named
to pronounce one of the eulogies
upon Congressman Rankin. His
friends will watch the occasion, con-
fident that the youngest Congressman
will reflect honor upon Wisconsin
in the House, as the youngest Sena-
tor has done in the Senate.

The Death of Another General

The Death of Another General.
ONE by one the great soldiers fall
and are laid beside their comrades
in arms. Last of all to pass away
was Najor-General Winfield Scott
Hancock, the renowned fighter in
the Army of the Potomac, who died
on Tuesday, Feb. Q, at $3.50 p. M, at
his headquarters on Governors
Island, n Y. harbor.
The General had been bothered !,
while on business in Washington,
with boil on his neck which after
being lanced assumed alarming APP
pearauces, and when his surgeon
was summoned, kidney trouble had
developed Though there was
thought to be no near danger, he
went down, as the surgeon described
it, like going down stairs, and his
death took the whole nation by sur
prise.
His last great public act was the
planning and managing of the fun
eral Of Gen. Grant, in Aug. last when
he appeared to be in perfect health
and full Of vigor, and as he moved
about gave no evidence of the fact
that in six short months he would
suddenly complete his career
Gen Hancock was fine gentle
man, a loyal patriot, a terrific fighter
and yet 4 considerate general. His
old second corps was called in 1864
the foot cavalry Of the Army Of the
Potomac.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

WASHINGTON Feb. 8, 1886.
During the week interest in the
proceedings of Congress, and in the
controversy between the President
and Senate has been partly over
Swallowed by the constantly expand
ing Pan-Electrie exposure. Every
where in Washington the Telephone
is the recurring topic of conversation.
1t is heard at the Capitol, in the lob
bies of the Senate and House, in the
street cars and hotels, and in every
group where politics or public men
are discussed. Every one is Won
dering what the President will do,
and what the Attorney General will
do.
1t is painful to see the Democratic
party distracted from its great work
of reform by this embarrassing
affair After twenty five years of
publication it is 4 pity that it should
be placed in such position. And
| feel constrained to say in the lam
guage of a Congressman from Maine,
''If the righteous suffer thus, what
then will become of US poor Repub-
lican sinners"
The friends Of Mr.. Garland hold
that while he is placed in a very
embarrassing attitude, he is not at
all to blame. The supposition that
Mr.. Garland's purposes were entire
ly honest does not affect the situa-
ton. The pecuniary interest of a
Government officer must have moth
ing to do with the public service
with which he is connected, and the
Attorney General has remained,
since he was elected to his high Of
fee, connected with an enterprise
whose interests he could further by
using his official position.
Official virtue is urgently needed
in these days when there is deep
seated suspicion in the public mind
that public affairs are not honestly
managed. And this affair is pecu-
liarly sickening when it is remem-
bered how the Democratic party
pratcd, during the Presidential cam
paign, about old fashioned public
virtue.
The course that Attorney General
Garland will pursue cannot be fore
cast, though it seems he will attempt
to brave public sentiment, a difficult
part to play where personal reputa-
tation is affected. The opinion is
often expressed here that he must
either get rid of his Telephone stock,
or the Department of Justice must
get rid of him. Some Congressman
express themselves freely about
stock jobbing statesmen, but Sen
ators are reticent. Should proceed
ings of impeachment be instituted
against Mr. Garland the Senate would
be called upon to act as jurors, and
1 it would not be proper for them to
PREJUDICE the case.
The House committee which is to
investigate the conduct of the Iele-
phone suit has on it FIVE Democrats
and only three Republican Members,
/ but the latter are active and deter
mined. Representative Mckinley,
Of Ohio, Speaking to this committee,
said: 'Nothing can stop a House
Committee when it gets started. 1t
can go as deep as it pleases.'
Congress did creditable weeks
work in quiet way. There was
legislation for land and water. The
Senate voted 100000 for the
Nations militia, and the House pas
sed the old Dingley shipping bill,
