Will any except a Republican assert
that the 25O Union regiments OF these
four States contained any but Demo-
Gratis? If every Republican voter in
the four States had enlisted, there
must have been nine Democrats to
every one Republican in these regi-
ments. AS the Democratic vote of
these four States in 1862 fell from
395, ,2O5 to liz, ,995, and the Republican
vote increased over 1860, Republican
voter of 1860 must have been greater
curiosity among these 250,0OO Union
soldier than an honest sutler.
Will even a Republican assert that
the Democrats OF these border States
were any more loyal to the Union
than the Democrats of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois?

Camano island, east of WILDLY is

"Bocas de Caamano," name given
by the Spaniard Elisa to the Admi-

Bellingham bay was named by
Vancouver, but the explorer in his

that name.
Cypress island was also named by
Vancouver on account of the many
expresses found there.
Duwamish river and bay were sur

the coast survey, after the natives OF
that region; the name OF Elliott is OF
more recent origin.
Port Orchard was discovered on
May "a, 1892. by Mr.. Orchard, one Of
Vancouver's officers and named in
honor of him.
Blake Island received its appellation
by Mr.. Wilkes in honor of Capt. Blake.

IT is estimated that over 20 ,OOO, 600
cigars are manufactured every day in
the United States alone, and this
enormous number requires in the
neighborhood of 100000 boxes for
their keeping. AS result there are
over 200 factories in the country turn
ing these boxes out. The wood of
which these boxes are made comes
from Mexico, Central America and
the West Indies. The manufacturers
buy the wood In large heavy logs and
cut it up to suit themselves. Some of
the cheaper grades of boxes are made
from poplar cut in the West, which
is afterwards stained to initiate the
real cedar. But the only real good
wood for the purpose is the cedar
which comes from the countries
named.

The Republican vote showed only
the natural shrinkage of an off year.
The Democratic vote, after allowing
for the on-year shrinkagc, was 23O, 900
votes short. Where were these $780,

Union army? And where were any Re-
publican voters except in civilian
dress at the polls? The Republicans
in the army were not voters.

Democrat, "will prove so in the same

How Some Of Them Talk.

Webster was very slow talker, and
he did not average over a hundred
words a minute, writes Frank Car
penter. He dealt in round periods
and was not a hard man to report.
Henry Clay rolled out about $50 words
to the minute, and Calhoun started
slowly, but warmed up as he went on,
and he frequently spoke as fast as MIR.
Clay. Jefferson Davis was one OF the
finest speakers OF the past, abounding
in classical illusions, and one OF the
fastest speakers was Sargent, OF Cali
fornia, who once spoke for two hours
and averaged 200 words per minute
during the whole time. There was a
debate here some years ago on the
District of Columbia bonds which
lasted about four hours and which by
actual calculation averaged between
100 and 200 words per minute. The
average of speaking in the Senate to-
day is not think over l5O words per
minute. The late Senator Beck was
very fast speaker, and he frequently
wilted his shirt collar with the perspi-
ration of his earnestness. One OF the
most curious speeches l ever heard
was that of John Bell, OF Tennessee,
who roared out his sentiments with
all the eloquence and earnestness OF a
revivalist preacher, Notwithstanding
that the president of the Senate, him.
self and 1 were the only persons in the
chamber. 1t was night session and
all of the rest of the Senators had
gone to the cloak rooms. Bell tore
the air and preached away as though
fifty thousand people were listening to
him. The perspiration rolled down
his face. He tore off his collar and
though the temperature was at seventy
he thrashed himself into frenzy OF
excitement. It was very funny.

Who Fought Our Civil War.

The following article from Belford' s
magazine would speak for itself with
out any particular comment, but as
there seems to be a feeling inimical
even toward an old soldier by COM
rades OF the Grand Army of the Re-
public if he is Democrat, we punish
the article with the hope that it will
assist in creating more liberal feel
ing in the minds OF those who think
because they wear the Grand Army
button that they alone saved the Un-
ion.
The question whether the Demo-
Gratis or the Republicans of the Federal
army did the fighting in the late Re-
bellion has always been answered un-
truly and enthusiastically by the Re-
publicans-" The loyal Republicans,
OF course" and from constant itera-
ton and reiteration the Republicans
themselves believe it, while the Demo-
Gratis appear to have tacitly acquiesced
in the statement.
Carlyle tells us the great majority
will over take man at his own esti-
mate. The Republicans have acted
on Carlyle's theory, in no very modest
sense. Their estimate of their own
work is only surpassed by their pre-
sumptuous ignorance and their mis-
statements of historical questions and
facts. That We can prove one Of their
most mischievous and barefaced as
sumptions to be totally at variance
with the facts OF the case is pleasure.
To crafty his love of fair play as well
as to further the interests of truth,
Mr.. Thomas Edgar Wilson, of New
York, has prepared the following
tables, which show conclusively that
to the Democrats the success of the
war is to be mainly if not wholly at
tributed. TIE verify his tables beyond
suspicion Mr.. Wilson employed experts
the most trustworthy. and accom-
plished. That we have not yet Null
hall or Levy is to our loss; but it is
a pleasure 70 note how rapidly Mr..
Wilson is gaining in this country a
reputation for statistics similar to that
of these two great "figure-heads."

The Tobacco Industry.

Lou Croft and Anton Furstenberger
returned the latter part of last week
from Edgerton, where they went few
days prior to market their tobacco crop
for 1890. Croft Br os raised their pro-
ducts on the northern outskirts of the
city, and Mr.. Furstenberger does his
tobacco raising on his farm few miles
north of town. Each received the same
price per pounds cts.-for his pro-
duct. which was of the finest quality,
and was readily sold.
Mr.. Furstenberger' crop was pro-
duced on 81 acres of ground, and yielded
1910 pound which, at "a cts. per pound
brought him S374.10. Deducting from
this the shipping and travelling expen-
ses. he received net profit of $I01 90
per acre
Croft Bros. got better yield, but no
better quality, They planted acres
from which they received 5575 pounds,
which at the above price brought 1882.
and net profit of s137.335 per acre.
The piece of land on which the tobacco
was planted is fraction less than 3
acres, and for convenience 10 figuring
was made exactly 3.

people.

Mrs. Elizabeth j. Basford wife of Hon Luther
Basford, Of this city, died Wednesday morning,
Dec 3, ofheart failure, aged 6I years, II months
and days.
The funeral services were held on
Friday morning. Dec. 5, and according
to her own request, IN the Congrega-
tional church, conducted by the pastors
of the Congregational and Methodist
churches. A large congregation of
sympathizing friends attended the SER
vices. many of whom followed the re-
mains to the cemetery.
Mrs. Basford was born in the county
of Withe. West Virginia, in Nov. 1922.
She removed from there with her par
ents TO Missouri. After her mothers
death, she came with her father, in
1886, to the lead mining region of Wis
consin. She made her home at Cass-
vile where she first met Mr.. Basford to
whom she was married on the 29th OF
May, 1889, when l6 years of age. She
lived happily with her bereaved hus-
band for more than half century and
usually in the enjoyment of good
health. Her family consisted Of six
children, four boys and two girls, two
of whom are now living, MIR. G. II.
Basford of Lancaster, and Mrs. M. j.
Scott, of Southern California.
Mrs. Basford became a member of the
Methodist church of Cassville when
fourteen years of age. Some years after
her marriage she transferred her mem
bership to the Congregational church
of Bloomington, which was the church
of her husbands choice. and there her
membership remained until transferred
to theChurch Triumphant. Her faith was
a source of great comfort 20 her during
her last hours and she said t. her hus-
band during her sickness that she was
ready to go. She gave directions in re-
gard TO her funeral which were care
fully complied with. In her every day
life she was of happy and cheerful
disposition; she readily made friends
and permanently retained them. Her
sunny presence will be missed from the
society of large circle of friends.

order of choosing seats was determined
by drawing a number from a box in
which one for each season ticket sold
had been placed and we'll shaken. Good
natured chat followed where some of
the first TO draw got tags with three
figures on them. hut while all could not
get end seats they secured them near
enough to their favOrite corners to ac-

matter of fact there are but few seats in
the house really undesirable so that all
will enjoy the coming treats. Much

which takes effect to-day, the route be-
