Il cannot afford to be a
congressman" remarked a promin-
ent young lawyer of the state who
has frequently been suggested as a
good man to send to the lower
house. 81 would want to live well
as we'll as | do now, and were to
do SO, | would live beyond my
salary. How much do you think
it costs Senator Spooner to live in
Washington in the neither modest
nor extravagant style he essays j?
Well, he told me himself that his
average annual expenses since
becoming a senator had been
$4,000. To be sure he occupies
a house on Capitol Hill and it's
doors are frequently thrown open
to society, but, in no event could
he maintain his present social
rank within the limits of his
senatorial salary of $4,000 a year,
most of our congressman cut no
figure at all in the social life of the
capitol and hence are perhaps
enabled to get along on the official
income, but such obscurity would
never suit me, hence, as | am not
rich, | cannot afford to go to
congress. When Charley Will
liams got through his service of
about fifteen years in congress he
actually had to borrow money
from a friend with which to get to
Dakota, and those fifteen years
were just the time in which had he
remained in private life he could
have acquired a competency.
Perhaps when l am fifteen years
older may be able to accept the
nomination but I am too poor as
yet though my practice nets me
$40, 900 year. I have always
thought that Matt. Carpenter came
pretty near characterizing the
thing correctly when he declared
that Washington was a great
bear garden" when everybody
was clawing for office, for social
distinction or for favor of some
kind-men and women alike. To
my notion there is little indeed in
congressional life to attract man
who is doing we'll otherwise"

of the Lutheran republicans is
very greatly overestimated and
that outside of a few municipali-
ties, notably Milwaukee, Racine
and Oshkosh, the detection from
the republican ranks will be small.
Gov. Hoard has hied himself to
the pinery woods Of Chippewa
County where in the facinating
sport OF angling for the speckled
beauties he is temporarily forget
full of the trials of office, especially
those that come on the verge of a
political campaign in which a
great and important issue like the
Bennett law is to figure and whose
welcome may be said to be
shrouded in some noubt. His
comrades are state treasurer
Harshaw and General Geo. C..
Ginty. 1t is at the summer camp
of the last named that the party
is sojourning. 1t was Gen. Ginty's
following in the last state conven-
ton which when released by their
leader, went over to Hoard, thus
giving him the nomination, and
the governor has never forgotten
the favor SO opportunity granted
just at the moment when Hold
Taylor was pleading SO desperate
ly for the McFetridge contingent
that the choice of Hoard might be
defeated. Ginty will yet be we'll
taken care of either by the
governor himself or through his
recommendation with fat federal
office. He stands an even chance
with Rock J. Flint of being named
within the next few days for the
marshalship of this district.

The Presidents anxiety to have
something done by the present
Congress towards increasing our
foreign commerce is attracting
attention, and it looks as if some
thing was really to be done in that
line at last. For more than TWEEN
ty years this question has been
more or less prominent. Presi-
dent Grant in a special message to
Congress, dated March "a, 1870,
said upon the subject" A nation OF
the vast and ever increasing inter-
ior for resources of the United
States, extending, as it does, from
one to the other of the great
oceans of the world with ali indus
trius intelligent, energetic popula-
ton, must one day possess its full
share of the commerce of these
oceans, no matter what the cost.
Delay will only increase this cost
and enhance the difficulty of at
tanning the result, Xxx. AS a
general rule, where it can be adop-
ted, | believe a direct money
subsidy is less liable to abuse than
an indirect aid given to the same
enterprise. In this case, however,
my opinion is that subsidies, while
they may be given to specified
lines of steamers or other vessels,
should not be exclusively adopted;
but in addition to substituting very
desirable lines of ocean traffic, a
general assistance should be given
in an effective way XXX. Score
tary Blaine is also doing every
thing in his power to bring Cong
ress to a realizing sense of the
situation, and a bill has just been
introduced in the House providing
the means for survey of the trans
continental railway line recon-
mended by the Pan-American
Congress.

An attempt will be made at the
next session of the legislature to
pass bill requiring all schools,
private and parochial as we'll as
public, to make annual reports to
the state superintendent of the
attendance Of pupils. The so
called Pond bill'' which so
greatly agitated the Lutherans of
the state two winters ago,
embraced this idea and the legis
lature became panic stricken at
the opposition that it created.
The result was that the bill was
referred to a committee of one
Senator Pond in the upper House
by whom of course it was never
returned. The fact that we get no
statistics at all from the private
and parochial schools places
Wisconsin at great disadvan-
tage in the comparison of the
school population of the various
states We are thus made to
appear very backward in educa-
tional progress.

1t is generally conceded that
the republicans will lose one
congressman in Wisconsin next
fall-Van Schaick in the Milwau-
kee district; but it is not thought
that the Lutheran vote is
sufficiently strong in any other
district to cause any trouble.
Van Schaick declines to be a
candidate again and this of itself
is good indication Of the situa-
ton in the 4th district. Van
Setback likes office well enough
but he does not intend to spoil his
record at his time of life by being
beaten in a political contest.
Though he has led in many a
campaign it is his proud boast
that he has never been defeated.
1t is fortunate circumstance for
the republicans that the Lutherans
vote is punched and that it is
strongest in democratic localities,
are democratic solely because of
the Lutheran vote. If this is so

when he declares that the strength
