A GREAT DAY AT GETTYSBURG.

A GREAT DAY AT GETTYSBURG.
Great numbers Of Union soldiers
from this state are expected to witness
the dedicatory services which will oc-
cur at Gettysburg on the 3Oth of June.
The monument contributed by Wis
consin in memory of the dead who fell
In battle from this state and the monu-
ments erected by other states will be
duly dedicated at that time. Loyal
states as well as Wisconsin have shown
their patriotism by the erection of
suitable monuments. The dedicatory
address in behalf Of Wisconsin will be
given by Senator John G. Spooner.
Brief addresses will also be given by
Gov. Rusk. Gen. Fairchild and others
from this state. It is said that some
of the patriotic citizens of this city con-
template joining the excursionists
from this state to attend the commem-
orative services at Gettysburg. The
fare from Chicago and returning will
be $3.50. This tour will take in
Antietam, which, next to Gettysburg,
is the most historic battle-ground of
the war. Washington of course is in
cluded on the list of places visited. It
is estimated $4,000 veteran soldiers
will be gathered to witness these
events. 1t is hoped the Union veterans
OF this county and vicinity will be
literally represented.

INFLUENTIAL MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.

Is it an object for state to have in-
fuential members in Congress? To
this question it will no doubt be replied
in the Affirmative. There is wide
difference in the influence of states in
Congress, which is wholly owing to the
standing of their representatives in the
Senate and House. The state Of Maine
is cited as an example of having more
influence in the House of Representa-
tives than some states that have three
times as many members in that body
An exchange says:
"The explanation is found in the
fact that besides soliciting bright men
for representatives, the Maine Repub.
licans keep re-electing them, so that
they have great advantage over new
members. They are masters of the
rules of legislation, they are familiar
with all the details Of the government
they have a wide acquaintance among
public men, and by seniority of service
are entitled to prominent places on The
principal committees.
Wisconsin has not pursued this
course to secure influential members
in the House, and therefore during til e
past forty years there has not been
more than third Of dozen from thi:
state whe were in any sense regarded
leaders The trouble has been, they
were rotated out before they had time
to gain standing by the advantage o.
experience.

sentiment, it may be regarded quite
we'll settled that Hoard will be the

ed, are not so enthusiastic for Hoard

him.

UNKIND TREATMENT OF
BLAINE.

There is not an American citizen of
national prominence, whether at home
or travelling in Europe, who is the sub
ject of more causeless abuse than James
u. Blaine. He is minding his own
business affairs in Europe and in no
way interfering by word or deed with
the politics or government interests Of
the Unit ed States. He has carefully
refrained from answering all political
questions but one; he replies he is not
candidate for President. This does
not satisfy. He is charged with con-
cealing his true intent. and all sorts of
motives are ascribed to him. Although
he has not said word or performed
a single act which has furnished occa-
sion for criticism or fault-finding.
still he is daily assailed in the public
press, particularly by Washington
newspaper correspondents. Mr.. Blaine,
although he says nothing and does
nothing, is constant source of annoy
ance to some Wisconsin newspaper.
These papers are not content that
Blaine is out of the country and keep

topic "Gideon's Ifs." It seems the

When the Jews had harvested their
grain the Midianites came and took it,
and left them as badly off as Kansas
farm after a grasshopper feast. Gideon
felt called on to drive out the oppressors,
and reached the conclusion to do so
after climbing over some ifs. Gideon is
written mighty man of valor, but he
was still greater as strategist. With a
band of three hundred men he vanquish-

PROHIBITION STATE CONVEN.
TION.

The State Prohibitory Convention
met at Madison on Wednesday. The
attendance Of delegates from different
parts of the state appears to have been
large. Much enthusiasm. seems to have
prevailed. The magnitude of the con-
vention may be inferred by the vote on
candidate for Governor. E. G. Durant
received 57s; B. F. Parker, 1876; w. d.
Bartlett, 80; total vote, 7s0. If liberal
expenditures Of time and money during
past years, in the interest of Prohibit
ton, entities any one of the party to
recognition, it is E. G. Durant. We
have known him many years, and have
nothing to say of him but words of
kindness. Space this week does not
allow of extended notice of the conven-
ton.

SUBSTITUTE FOR SILVER AND
GOLD.

Mr.. Henry Pike, who has been sew
eral months resident of this city, has
been engaged in the business of manu-
featuring or compromising metals, hav.
ing an exact resemblance of silver and
gold. He occupies place in the brass
works here, where he has been engaged
in the production of these metals. AS
these metals have been long enough
known and thoroughly tested, no doubt
they are all that is claimed. Mr.. Pike
has samples Of spoons and forks made
from the imitation silver which could
not be detected from the genuine
silver, except metal workers might
find 1t harder substance. Mr.. Pike
claims il is settled that the metal OF
which the spoons and forks are made
Is less liable to tarnish than silver.
The imitation gold which Mr.. Pike
makes is apparently perfect. Watch
cases which the Elgin company have
manufactured from it have the ap.
pearance of fine gold: their beauty of
polish and finish seem all that coul
be desired. The chief Importance
which attaches to these new metals is
their cheapness. A pound of pure
silver is worth about SIC; pound of
the silver imitation metal made by Mr..
Pike can be afforded for about 81.
Nothing, therefore, to hinder its being
brought into general use. The imita-
tion gold bears about the same proper
lion in value to the real. These silver
and gold limitations have been open to
inspection some weeks, and hearing no
doubts expressed as to their genuiness,
Or that they are not what they purport
TO be, these statements are made.

THE IRISH AND THE POPE.

The recent alledged interference by
the Pope with the political affairs Of
Ireland has created considerable un-
pleasantness. His Holiness has been
criticised for stepping aside from his
sacred Office, to issue instructions on
matters which do not come within his
province. A meeting OF six thousand
people was held few days ago in
Dublin, and the sentiment to resist the
encroachments of church on the rights
and privileges Of the people was
strongly expressed. John Dillon, the
distinguished Irish leader. appeared to
voice the sentiment of the assembled
thousands, remarking: "The Irish
would neither submit nor bow to
Rom they would show the world
that they were able to discern between
the spiritual and political domain.
