Scene In 4 Milwaukee Court.

There was a sensational scene in Judge
Sloan's court at Milwaukee at the close OF
the trial Of Paul Grottkan and Albert
Moessinger, charged with having melted the
riots last May. The entire day had been
consumed in argument. Judge lSoan had
concluded the delivery OF his charge,
the iurymen were filing out, and the
crowd was On the point oideparture, when
it's exit was arrested by the rapping to
order OF the deputy sheriff. Flourishing
a copy OF Grottkaus paper, the Ar.
better Zeitung, District Attorney Will
hams advanced to the judges desk and
in a loud voice said: "Your honor,
desire to call your attention to a
gross scandal and villainous libel anu con.
tempt in connection with this case; and he
pointed to several marked articles in the
paper. One was q poem taking Judge
Sloan for q topic, and containing the most
scurrilous abuse OF him. The prose arti.
Giles were OF similar tenor, and denounced
the jury as bought up and the witnesses
Tor the state rs perjurers. The action OF
the district attorney created great sensa-
ton. GrOttkau turned pale and hurriedly
sought his lawyer. Judge Sloan said he
had heard OF the publica tons referred to,
and also that witnesses for the state had
been grossly intimidated. He declared
that q thorough inyestiga tion would be
made, aud appointed Monday the 9Th, as
the day On which Grottkau wo uld be given
an opportunity to explain.

soldiers ever in the army was in 1866,
when we had about 500 more than

a thousand, and in 1910, shortly be-
fore the second war with England, less
than 10000 men guarded the whole
United States. Ten years later u, 600

army jumped quickly from $4,000 to
$4,000 men. It increased right along
up to 1865, when it reached the en-,

All the congressional business Of the
present session must be done in the
short space of three months; and even
this time is shortened by the habit of
congress TO take vacation OF week
or ten days during the holidays. For

ed, and the work to be done is fairly
laid out. Bills have been reported at
the previous session, and are con the

Thegross earnings oftwenty-si six lines
OF railway for the third week in Nov
enlber show small decrease when COM
pared with the corresponding week
last year, but the reduction is mainly
in the Northwest, where transporta-
ton was impeded by severe weather,
which is an unusual occurrence so early
in the season. For the second week
sixty-six roads made gain of about
eight per cent. which is q satisfactory
result, considering that the November
earnings last year were on liberal
scale.

Among the matters mentioned as

of the present congress is, Inter State
commerce, the coast defenses, the Gre

methods for expediting the business
OF the United States supreme court,
methods Of counting the electoral
votes, the bills admitting Dakota and
Washington Territories, the fisheries

The present copper coinage OF the
United States amounts to $5,OOO,OOO.
For three years past no cents have
been coined, owing to the over-supply,
but lately the mints have resumed,
owing to an increase demand. This is
accounted for by the fact that many
retail dealers mark goods down to
fractional prices, necessitatlng the use
OF cents for making change. This
strongly illustrates the Importance
attained in the aggregate by trans
actions Insignificant in themselves.

THE NATIONAL CONGRESSIONAL COM
MITTEES.

Since Congress adjourned, Senator KEN
Ma as Chairman of the National Congress
sional Committee, has put his clerical
force actively TO work in collecting CAM
paign material. The records Of the Execu-
tive Department are being carefully seru-
tinized and show we'll for Democratic rule
and bad for the Republicans. Especially
in the financial exhibits are very damag-
ing statements found against Republican
officials. II is found that about twenty
per cent. of the Republican receivers In
the Western States and Territories have
dehulted. The records of the work OF the
present Administration are very credltaoie
and will make favorable contrast with
what the Republicans have done.
Congressman GoFF is said to now De
making the most of his time, rs Chairman
of the Republican Committee. His clerical
force will likely spend much time IN look
inc over the records, rs such mass OF
Republican rubbish will have to be gone
over to find a few grains of genuine cam
paign matter capable of standing fire.
Since both parties have called nearly all
their conventions throughout the State,
and the Congressional and Legislative fights
will soon begin, both committees have
GOOD field for work in our State. Gen.
GoFF will work for the reinstatement OF
the Republican party and seat for him.
self i'm the U. s. Senate; Senator kENNA
will work for the strengthening OF the
Democracy. The Democracy Ofour State IN
this contest wants to hold its present pos
sessions and drive out the enemy from
seat in Congress and y few seats in the
Legislature,
The Democrats have already seen some
very interesting developments in the man
agement of the Republican campaign OF
this State. That intended hegira OF the
bosses to Columbus for a little season at
fixing up states and discussing the division
of the Doodle; and the Republican con-
terence" ut Parkersburg in which 1t was
shown that the Republican leaders are
willing to work on any platform or any
principle just so they can catch votes
The attempt of men not in favor Of prohi-
bition to catch the prohibition vote by that
prohibition resolution is one example.
They are following out this version OF the
contemplate lagos injunction: Get votes;
honestly if you can; but get votes"
But they'll not get them-not If the
Democrats keep their eyes open ready to
expose other little schemes that will come
