CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-Congressman Nc
Kinley is in Chicago this morning and IS

to an Associated press reporter tonight on
the results of the recent election, and re-

it had much to do with republican losses 1t
is not because Of the law itself but because
of the misgiving of Its provisions among

was the most telling agency OF deception.
The law was less than a
month old when the elections occurred.
It's effect could not be felt or shown by
actual experience Falsehood took the
place of fact and was imposed upon credu-
Ious people Goods were said to have gone
up In prices which had been placed on the
free list in the new law. Many articles
whose duties had been reduced were said TO
have gone up, all because Of the new law.

Misrepresentation and deception will no

over. Those who care TO know its exact
provisions can do so by an examination Of
the law itself removed from partisan preju-
dice. The people, in my judgment,
said Major Mckinley viii stand by pro-
lection. They always have when the
issue has been presented fairly. The
major refused to say anything as 10 the

The sacrifice of Mr. La Toilette to the
sectarian disturbance in Wisconsin is one
of the most unfortunate results of the
election. None of the younger members
of the house has won more enviable
reputation than this brilliant and versa
tile represen tative. In rejecting him, the
voters of the third district have robbed
themselves of services which were always
disinterested and able. and which gave
dignity to their national affairs.-New
York Tribune.
The real cause of La Follette's defeat
was his active agency in the framing and
passage of the mill boss bill advancing
the cost of the necessaries of life, and his
undisguised aversion to Blaine's reciproci-
ty scheme of enlarged trade with the
American republics. Mr.. La Fol
lette is an intense devotee of the Chi
nese wall policy of international trade,
and utterly ignored the effect of his bill on
consumers. While it did not provide a
new market for an additional bushel of
wheat or barrel of pork, as Mr.. Blaine
showed, it did provide for an increased
cost of the clothing of the people by over
S1O0, 100000. The Mckinley bill dis
gusted and angered the western farmers.
1t confscated their wheat, so to speak, and
gave them only Ghatf.-Chicago Tribune.

rCnlnmhns Democrat. Norr1

Having secured a clear majority on
Joint ballot in the next Legislature, one
OF the most important duties that will
devolve upon the democracy during the
ensuing session will be the choice OF a
United States senator to succeed Mr..
Spooner. There should be no mistake in
the selection and from nasty glance at
the names Of the newly elected members,
we have no doubt wise choice will be
made.
1t is but fair to say that Wisconsin has,
with rare exceptions, been ably represent
ed in the uper house of congress. We re-
call the names eff those who have repre-
sented the state in the senate: l. P.
Walker, Henry Dodge, Chas. Durkee,
James R. Doolittle. Timothy o. Howe,
Matt. Il. Carpenter, Angus Camerson,
Phietus Sawyer ard John c. Spooner.
OF these names. those that will live the
longest are, no doubt, Doolittle, Howe
and Carpenter. In respect to ability
these were the pears Of any with whom
they served No partisanship, however
blind, viii fail to recoguize the talent,
worth and distinguished character of
these gentlemen. And furthermore we
shall not deny to Senator Spooner a high
place on this roll Of distinguished names
Few Wisconsin senators have ever enjoy
ed TO greater degree the respect, admira-
tion and love of their party than Senator
Spooner, and save the three ma med, none
have held higher rank In the senate in
point of ability.
The high position Wisconsin has hither-
to held in the senate Of the United States
must be fully maintained in the character
Of the choice made this winter. So far as
the sentiment Of the democracy Of this
vicinity is concerned there appears to be
absolutely DO division Of opinion in respect
to the senatorship- One name only /.

Astronomy an d Photography.

The most astonishing results over all Of
the sciences have been produced In astron-

exposure of thirtv-thrse minutes, the same
instrument which renders visible TO the
human eye stars of the fourteenth magni-
tude, which in the entire heavens would
register about 44,000, 900 of stars, shows to
the Photographic eye 134, ,0o0,000, and, On
an exposure OF one hour and twenty
minutes, would throw before the astonish-
ed gaze of the beholder luminous dust of
400. .OOO. 900 stars Never before In the
history of humanity has man possessed the
power of penetrating 50 profoundly into the
depths of the infinite,
when it is remembered that, with the
Lick 36-inch glass, the moon is brought
within about 100 miles Of the earth, with

One of the most important acts of the
next Legislature of this state will be the
election of United States senator in the
place of John c. Spoonec, whose term will
expire next March. The legislature being
democratic, Mr.. Spooner's successor will
be democrat
These facts have led even at this early
date, to considerable discussion, princi-
pdlly among republican papers, as to what
democrat will be accorded the distinguish
ed honor.
Among democrat papers and democratic
voters there should be no difference of
opinion. and doubtless is hone, ON this
question. Colonel William F. Villas, of
Madison, should, receive the vote of every
democratic member of the senate and as
sembly for United States senator.
