The New Governor.
PERSONAL REMARKS ABOUT GEORGE W.
PECK AND FAMILY


PECK AND FAMILY
Governor Peck is about so
years old, and Is known rs the editor
and proprietor of Peck's Sun Years
ago he was compositor on the State
journal and was poor man. He went
to La Crosse and started Peck's
Sun from which he made a precarious
living de took the paper to Milwau-
kee ten years ago, and it a. once be-
came popular, the circulation at one
time resching 10000 copies. Mr..
Peck had the good sense to see that like
all humorists he would lose his day and
made money while the sun shone and
knew enough to take care of it. The
circulation of The Sun soon began to
decline and but little is now heard of the
paper. Mr.. Peck, however, made a
fortune of 100000 out of it and the
book published entitled "Peck's Bad
Boy" He lives in beautiful red brick
and stone mansion on Prospect avenue,
Milwaukee, one of the fashionable
thorofares of the city. The house is
double one, one-half being occupied by
his son. George w. Peck, Jr.
Mrs. Peck is rather tall and slim and
goes much in society. Her name al
ways appears in the list of ladies attend
ing the fashionable gatherings. Her
sons wife is one of the beautiful women
of the Cream city. She too likes society
and entertains in a handsom way.
George Peck, has another son, about 10,
and George Peck, Jr., son of years.
1t is expected their advent in Madison
will mark an era of much social enter
tainment at the executive mansion

Magazines.
NEW ENGLAND.

HE NEW ENGLAND MAGAZINE for
November opens with an article which
must prove of rare interest to lovers of
Boston history and antiquities. and of
interest almost as great to everybody
who cares for architecture in America.
IL is an article Oh Charles Bulfinch, the
architect, by Mr.. Ashton Willard,
whose recent writing on the old New
England Westinghouse in this maya
zine has been so charming. Charles
| Bulfinch was the architect of almost
everything good in Boston early in the
century, and was for dozen years the
supervising architect of the Capitol at
Washington; but it is only after turning
the pages of this article, with its wealth
of illustrations,-the State House in Bos-
ton, the Maine State House, the Massa-
chusetts General Hospital, the Mclean
Asylum. Faneuil Hall as it now is. old
Franklin Street in Boston, Colonnade
Row, and so many other places dear to
the old Bostonian. with churcees and
cOurt-houses scattered all over Massa-
cbusetts, THAT one realizes the amazing
variety and extent of Bulinchs work.
The articles in this number of the NEW
ENGLAND MAGAZINE, however, which
will provoke most discussion, are two
on the Southern question. one by Rev.
A. ID. Mayo on 1.-The Third Estate of
the South" detailing the remarkable
growth in the South of a new democ-
racy, permeated by living ideas, and
destined rapidly to become the control
ling power; the other by Professor
Charles II. Levermore of the Massachu-
etts Institute of Technology, discussing
the dreadful mockery of law still pre-
Yailing in great sections of the South,
especially as witnessed by himself dur
ing Q recent residence in North Caro-
lima. No more notable contributions
have been made to the discussion of the
Southern question than these remark
able papers. Mr.. Mayo's paper was
first read before the Social Science Con-
gress at Saratoga last month. Edward
Everett Hale contributes to this number
a stirring article entitled 1.-The Professor
of America" sharply crilicising much
in our present college methods. and
urging that we ought to have everv-
where special professors to teach young
men adequately the new things which
America stands for in the world.

counts. It's a sea saw, and you can
easily see how I'd rather be on the end
that's down when the bump comes. 1t
hurts to be on the other end when the
board breaks. As TO this election, il
seems to me that there was a reversal
of things on account of personal bicker-
ings that had to be fought TO a finish.
They have brought their result and now.

years wilt bring about a complete
change The storm will then have
given place to a calm within our rank .
Now, as to the tariff, there cannot well
be any legislation on that subject be-
tween now and 1892, and the Mckinley
law will have long before then vindi-

Secretary Tracy has decided that the
new man-of-wsr. Maine, shall be
launched on the 18th inst. His grand
daughter will ehristen the new vessel.
Every body here knew that there were
about ninety nine chances in a possible
hundred against the election of Maj.
Mckinley in his gerrymandered district.
but so strong were the hopes of his
friends, and all republicans are his
friends, that he would somehow pull
through, that his defeat was a surprise
to them. and words of sympathy for
him are beard on every hand. But as
one gentleman put it "Ohio is too proud
of Bill Mckinley to allow him to remain
long in private life."
The Congressional apportionment bill
introduced in the House by Representa-
tive Dunnell provides that $50, 900 shall
be the basis for each member of the
House, but the bin was prepared with
the expectation that the census would
show population of at least GA, 1000, 900.
The official returns being 800, 900 short
of that number it will be necessary to
change the basis of representation.
Should 10000 be adopted, as now
seems probable, Virginia would be the
only state that would lose a member,
while the following would gain: One
each, Alabama, Arkansas, California,
Colorado. Kansas, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon,
Washington and Wisconsin; two each,
Illinois, Minnesota. Pennsylvania and
Texas; three, Nebraska. At least IL
of the new members will be republicans,
and it is possible. should Congress see
fit. to provide that the new members be
elected at special election in time to
take their seats in the SD Congress,
which will not meet unless in extra
session until the LIST Monday in Decem-
Der, 1891.

CAssvlLLE.

Editor HERALD Having seen moth
ing in your valuable paper about Cass-
vile for so long time | thought |
would write few notes to let the many
readers know that there is such a place
living on the banks of the Father-of-
Waters, so send the following:
Several new buildings are being fin
ished this fall, among them are Mr..
Beach's who has moved his old one
back and built new brick one in front;
Peter Bernhard has built new dwell
ing house, and several others, besides
two new churches, one of which is the
Lutheran which will not be finished
this fall; the other, the Methodist Epis-
copal, which is fine building will be
finished and dedicated sometime in the
near future.
Lots of moving has been going on
this fall, among them is the pastor of
the M. E. church who lived in the house
next to the brewery has moved in the
house next to the drug store.
Otto Dakey died on the first Of Nov
ember and was buried last Monday
He suffered several months with sick
ness but was at last relieved.
Quite a number of Cassville folks
were up at Lancaster last week counting,
but [ believe all have returned except
two: Mat Dahmen and Joe Schulter
who have gone to another country to
live Probably they will find what sew
eral others have found, that there are
worst places in the world to live in than
Cassville.
We are looking for large ice har-
vest this winter, and the large ice house
that Mr.. Bilehartz is building besides a
large load OF ice tools that arrived at
the depot for him Friday looks as
though he intended to take a share in it.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent. j


WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Oct 81. 1890.
The President, like the rest of the re-
publicans. is both surprised and disap-
pointed at the result of the elections.
He knew, of course, that under the cir
cumstances it would have been little
short of a miracle for the republicans to
have retained control of the House of
Representatives. but the very large
gains made by the democrats astonished
him as much as it did the democrats
themselves, and he is deeply disap-
pointed to think that the result has been
obtained solely by the votes of repub-
Leans, who have taken advantage of
the opportunity to vent their spite, per.
sonal or otherwise, by voting against
their party and their honest convictions.
He does not regard the result as in
any sense a rebuke to his administra-
ton, but rather as the efforts of mis-
guided republicans to "get even" in an
''off year." when the democrats by con-
trolling the House can do themselves
no good and the country no harm. OF
course, il all the republicans who voted
for democrats or remained at home last
Tuesday had really abandoned the re-
publican party there would be cause
for serious alarm, but such is not the
case. 1t is only repeating history for
the administration party to lose is first
Congressional election--there has been
only one exception to this rule since the
foundation of the GOVERNMENT, and
when. 1892 rolls around the republican
party will, with unbroken ranks, march
to victory again.
MIR. Blaine was asked il he thought
the election portended a democratic
victory in 1892. mot at ALL" he re-
Piled; ION the contrary, it makes re-
publican victory in that year almost a
certainty" Secretary Noble says be
does not see any thing in the result to
discourage republicans and that lickings
are som etimes very salutary to political
parties as we'll as to obstreperous boys.
When several prominent republics MS
came here to urge upon the President
the necessity for calling an immediate
extra session of Congress they learned
from third parties that it had been
detinately decided at Cabinet meeting
held two weeks ago not to call an extra
session.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is here
consulting with Secretary Tracy about
the manufacture of new nickel-steel
armor plates for the navy expressed
himself as follows on the election: Il!
is simply q case of history repeating
itself. There was never yet trium-
plant party that did not feel the effect
of a reverse wave during the middle of
its success. Politics is simply comb
nation of reactions. They come in
ccles OF two years and fortunate is the
party that gets the benefit of the re-
action that comes in years when it

CENTURY MAGAZINE.

The CENTURY MAGAZINE celebrates
its twentieth anniversary with the No
vember number,-a number which is
intended to examplify the best that an
illustrated magazine of our day can do
for its innumerable readers. In the
editorial on the event the editor claims
for THE CENTURY "a sane and earnest
Americanism, an Americanism "that
deems the best of the Old World none
too good for the New Instead of
viewing at length the literary and ar
tistic achievements of the magazine the
editor considers it best to celebrate the
astonishing progress in magazine print
ing during the past twenty years in an
illustrated article by Theodore l.. De-
Winnie of the DE Winnie Press.
The great feature of THE CENTURY
new year, the series on the Gold Hunters
is begun with John Bidwell's paper,
fully and curiouslv illustrated, on 1.-The
First Emigrant Train to California. .

in begun is Mr.. Roekhill's illustrated
account of his journey through AZ IN
known part of Tibet,-th strange land
of the Lamas. A notable and timely
contribution to DIR. Shaw'S series on
municipal government is his interesting
and thorough account of the govern
ment of London, with its warning for
American municipalities. A pictorial
series begins in this number ''Pictures

given being viii II. Lows 1.-The

State Journal: It. is idle to say that
the people of this county have suddenly
concluded that protective policy is
wrong, and that they are in favor of a
free trade policy. They are not. So
far as the defeat of republican nominees
for congress can be attributed to na-
tional issues and influences of those
issues, it should be said, as it can in the
strictest truth be sand, that their defeat
is due to the fact that the republican
tariff bill passed but four weeks before
the elections. There was no time 10
Judge of its merits or realize the good
it would do The opposition opened up
a bitter and most vicious attack upon
the new law, and upon every represen-
tative who voted for it. They made
wild and reckless charges with the sole
purpose of influencing the people
against the Mckinley BILL" They
made charges grossly untrue and
relied upon the brief time of
the canvass to prevent their falsehood
being exposed. They charged the new
law effects that it has not had nor will
it have. They took advantage of de-
termined, hastY, vigorous assault upon
the results of public action to prejudice
the people against the fruits of that
action.

Local weather prophets are getting
in their work now and while some pre-
dict a mild winter, other declare that
we are sure to have the coolest ever
known. There was time when there
were a number of reliable weather signs,
but the most of them have failed so
often that people have begun to lose
faith in them. But there is one sure
way to tell what the weather will be,
and for the benefit of those who may
wish to know what the winter will be or
what kind of a summer we will have,
the rule is given here. The information
is received from the corn stalk. If the
corn husks are thick it is a sign that the
winter will be cooler than the summer,
but if the husks are thin it is sign that
the summer will be warmer than the
winter. This is infallible.

WHEN the democratic party of Wis
consia comes to pay its debt to .be
alien churches what will it dog 1t is
hardly likely the power that dictated
votes from the pulpit Sunday before the
election will be satisfied with merely
leaving parochial schools alone, for
those schools were never assailed. The
motive for union of church and politics
in the late campaign must be looked for
back of that, and it will take more able
craftsmanship than the democracy OF
Wisconsin can boast to meet it.
