FULLER CONFIRMED.

M. W. Fuller, of Chicago, who was
nominated many weeks ago to fill the
vacancy Of the Office of Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, was con-
6rmed by the Senate on Friday last, by
a vote of Al for and 20 against. Among
the Senators who voted no were some
of the oldest and ablest men in that
body. They earnestly protested against
his occupying the highest judicial post
in this country; the proof is not want.
ing that he was not in sympathy with
the union cause in the rebellion. Mr..
Cleveland has passion for bringing
forward for the highest offices in the
gift of his appointing power men of
disloyal antecedents; witness his nom.
ination of Lamar, of disloyal history.
Senator'S Edmunds, Evarts and others
warned against the policy of putting
in office for life men of the stamp of
Fuller. 1t was said in defence OF Full
Ter, if he was not loyal in early times
he had been loyal since the war. That
is not the kind of record the Chief JUS
tice Of the United States Supreme
should possess.

PRICE OF LABOR AND THE
TARIFF.

Authentic tables are frequently
published of the prices paid working
men in the various industries in this
country. and in England and other
countries. A table of prices paid the
various workers here and in England,
in the most common employments,
show the day wages in England
averages much less than one-half paid
for day wages in the United States.
The reason is plain that the tariff pro-
lection of our industries secures to
workingmen here these advantages.
Every common school boy can under
stand this labor problem. Yet because
some articles of necessity may perhaps
be purchased cheaper in Europe, there
fore it is said let all such cheaper com.
modities be produced abroad, and leave
the people to buy where they can pur-
chase the cheapest. This is a reckless
theory, because it throws millions of
our mechanics and working men and
women out of employment, or forces
them to accept of European prices for
their services. 1t doubtless would be
acceptable to England to furnish as
far as practicable all the needful arti-
Giles for this country without any tariff
restrie ions, and it might be an act OF

NOVEL ARRIVAL.

A novel procession came into this
city on Friday afternoon last; thirty.
one young men. mounted on bicycles
of the largest and most improved
patterns, came in from the north in
single file in military order; about q
dozen more who had fallen behind
came in some later. We are told a
company of eighty six, similarly mount
ed, started from Milwaukee on the
forenoon of that day. One-half of that
number came no further than Racine.
The lake shore road north of this city
Is unsuited for bicycle travel. Much
of the road from this city to Racine is
very sandy and hard to travel for any
kind of wheel conveyance. The bicycle
party concluded to return by railway.
The bicycle on good roads is capable
of being propelled at the speed of a
feet horse.

respectable number of students to the
different educational institutions in the

the Whitewater Normal school, a state
institution especially designed to fit
young men and women for teaching.
From the catalogue it appears there

is in reference to the needs of teachers.
Much more could be said in favor of
the Whitewater school. From what
we know of those who have it in
charge, we recommend 1t to students.

1t is an undisputed fact that about
all the sugar produced in the United
States comes from Louisiana. Al
though it is protected by government
bounty, statistics show it is yearly de-
clining. The product in 1853, in round
numbers, was S6S,0OO,O0O pounds, and
by the showing of 1887 it was only
1S1,000,000 pounds. Sugar is not an
industry adapted to this country, but
to tropical climate, therefore not en-
titled to the protective policy as q
home industry. Yet mark the Demo-
cratic policy in the present Congress,
which aims to put wool on the free list
and the duty of 6s per cent on sugar.
1t is pertinent question to ask, is this
the policy of the party which our
Democratic friends are now seeking to
perpetuate in power in the coming
Presidential electionp

THE ISSUE OF NATIONAL

HE ISSUE OE NAIkONAL
PARTIES SETTLED.
It cannot be denied that the Mills
tariff bill, voted on last Saturday in
Congress. settles the question what is
the issue which divides the Republican
and Democratic parties in the coming
Presidential election. After having
been the chief subject Of discussion in
Congress for long time, the two
national parties are no nearer together
in sentiment than they were at the
beginning of the session, eight months
ago. The ayes and nays on the Mills
bill shows a remarkable unanimity in
the ranks of both the Republicans and
Democrats in Congress. It is quite
probable the Democratic members
would not have voted so generally for
the Mills tariff bill had it not been I'M
derstood to be Cleveland's policy, and
it would have been at the risk of losing
official favor to have voted against it.
Randall, prominent Democrat. voted
against the bill, and for this act he is
denounced and will be cast out by the
President.
The Mills tariff bill passed the House
on Saturday by vote of 1862 for and
149 against; majority for the bill, 10.
Only two Republicans voted for the
bill and four Democrats against it.
Nearly dozen Democratic members
had been calculated upon to stand by
Randall, of Pennsylvania, in the early
part of the session to oppose the pass
age of the bill, but the Cleveland lash
drove them to its support. But the
end is not yet. Mills tariff has to go
through another ordeal, the Senate.

The importation of frecrackers this

WORLDS RELIGIOUS MOVE.
MENTS.

The news from Japan is to the effect
that the chief minds in that country
are discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting the christian religion by an
imperial decree of the government as
the accepted national religion of Japan.
If this is done it will not be, it is said,
because the government acknowledges
the christian religion in the sense in
which it is held in other parts of the
christian world, but simply for the
reason that the government recognizes
the necessity Of religious basis for
moral and national life. The old JAP
anese faith has entirely lost it's vitality
as standard, and new religion
needs to be substituted in its place,
and recognized by the government. 1t
may, therefore, be said that the adop-
ton of the new religion will be mat
ter of national policy, looking to the
benefits which christianity would
bring to the nation. Such move.
ment in Japan is not singular. when
taken in connection with the readiness
with which that country, for a few
years past has adopted the civilized
customs of this and other enlightened
countries. The changes in Japan in
throwing aside old and senseless Gus
toms, and following in the lead of the
United States and England has been
wonderful. Even if nothing more
than an authoritative recognition of the
principles of christianity by the mil
lion of Japanese is for the present
gained. it cannot fail Of placing chris
tianity on permanent basis where it
has only been tolerated by sufferance.
