Wonderful Echoes.

In the Roman Campagna, at the
sepuIsher of Metella, the wife of Sulla
there is an echo which repeats five
times in five different keys. 1t win
also repeat a heXameter line, or apy
other sentence which can be spoken IN
two and half seconds.
An echo which repeats seventeen
times is to be found between Bingen and
Cobleutz, on the banks of the River
Naha. A popularity of this echo /:
that, although the speakers voice NAV
be almost inaudible, yet the volume Of
sound apparently increases in the echo
In the chapel of the Abercorn family
at Paisley the shutting of the door
produces an echo which sounds like
distant thunder.
The echo of the Eagles Nest" al
Killarney, is said to repeat bugle note
at least 100 times; the effect of fir
ing a cannon is to give the impression
of thGnders of artillery which die in
the distance.
Between inc two wings of the castle
of Simonetta, two miles out from
Milan. the report of pistol is repeated
sixty times; a single musical instru.
ment produces the effect of full
orchestra.

Under Dem o era cy.

Governor Peck and the other
gentlemen elected last November
took forma possession of the sew
eral state offices at noon last Mon
day. The oath of office was ad.
ministered by Chief Justice Cole,
of the Supreme Court, in the As
sembly Chamber, in the presence Of
an immense concourse of people,
mainly Democrats, including many
applicants for places under the new
administration. Contrary to an
nonBcements of the Democratic
press, the Inauguration ceremonies
and the ball in the evening were as
"highfalutin" as anything of the
kind ever known in the state. 1t il
doubted if so many diamonds
and other rare jewels were ever be-
fore seen in Madison The prom
ised "Jeffersonian simplicity" was
nowhere visible. During the week
our Democratic state exchanges have
been burdened with glowing &C.
counts of the great affair. Some of
these must have come under the
eyes of TRIBUNE readers, making
elaboration in these columns unnec-
essary. OF the incoming and out
going administrations the State
Journal says truly:
This will be a Democratic admin
istration. Never in the history of
the state have the officials been so
closely allied with the political man
ayers behind them as are those now
ensconced behind the walls Of the
state house. Every attempt will be
made by these officials and the party
managers to turn the affairs of the
comm on wealth To the benefit of the
Democratic party. That certainly
is the indication from the manner
in which some of the members of
the new administration have acted
since the election.
This cannot be said of the out
going administration. From the
governor down the list of state
officials the record left by the Re
publican officers is that of faithful
ness aud constant regard for the
courtesies due the public regardless
of political considerations. Gov.
Hoard retires from office with the
respect and good opinion of the
people of the state who value sin-
cerIty of purpose aud courage to do
what Is believed to be right regard
less of the consequences. He lis a
man of great ability, high character
and "A singIeness of purpose III right
doing.
The Republican state officials
were earnest, faithful, competent
men and did the work of their re
spective places with patient industry,
economy and care. They so out OF
off Sc with the respect and good
viii of the people of the state
whom they have 50 faithfully served.
The new administration will have
occasion to be careful and attentive
to their duties to reach the high
standard left by their predecessors.

Justice of Supreme Court.

I
With the understanding that
Chief Justice Cole will retire from
the Supreme Bench Of the state at
the close Of his present term, Dec.
3lst next, the press of the state is
discussing, and the lawyers are
planning and caucusing upon who
shall fill the vacancy. Under the
law, the member Of the court hay-
ing been longest in continuous SER
vice becomes Chief Justice. Judge
VIM. l.. Lyon will therefore be thus
distinguished upon Justice Cole :
retirement, and the new member Of
the Court to be chosen next April,
will be an Associate Justice.
There is a general feeling that
the Court should be kept as free
from political Vaccinations as pos
-ible, and with this view party nom
| nations have been seldom made;
candidates usually being brought
out by calls issuing from the bar Of
the state. For the present occasion
the same course IL expected To be
| followed, and members Of the bar
are holding meetings and otherwise
taking action. Thus far, however,
there is not sufficient unity of seuti.
mem 10 determine who il the favor
ite The diversity of sentiment
expressed indicates that there may
be two or more names submitted to
the people at the polls in April.
So far az elected the most express
sion by the bar and the press fayors
lion. S. u. Pinney, of Madison, but
before the time of final action
comes it is thought there may be
many Richmond's in the field. A
sentiment favorable 10 the re-elec-
ton Of Justice Cole is manifest, and
likely To grow to formidable If not
oyersbadowing proportions.
Mr.. Pinney having been endorsed
for the position at a meeting of the
"North Wisconsin Bar" and thus
brought most prominently forward,
his fitness aud availability is uatur-
ally most discussed His qualifca-
ton is universally admitted, but the
facts that he has expressed dissent
from the decision ruling bible read
ing out of the schools; and has
been retained as counsel for ex-state
treasurer Harshaw in the promised
quits against him to recover interest
supposed to have been received by
HIM on state moneys deposited IN
banks, are urged AS rendering Mr..
Pinney unsatisfactory to Democrats,
| although himself DemocraO and
therefore unavailable.
Judge Clementson is strong
favorite throughout the southern
part of the state, and a numerously
signed request for him to allow his
name TO be used as a candidate has
been presented to him by the At
torneys of this section. But the
Judge declines 10 acquiesce, much
to the regret of strong following
of supporters, and may not there
fore be listed as in the race,

How MANY of the thousands OF
fub.luyers who were "watChiug the
new year i'm after their own fashion
cast thought to the melancholy
ceremony that was going on IN that
bleak and barren country OF which

trial spot? In the midst of a wild
storm of wind and sleet ON the
afternoon of December 81, twenty.
FIVE of the United States soldiers
who fell in the battle of Wounded
Knee, were buried. In graves, IN
rows of six deep. the bodies were
laid, after few words ol prayer by
the chaplain Then the cavalry

moment M attack might be made.

already disastrous Indian war.

Now, if one will add the known
circumstances that of corn, and
probably of oats also, there never
was SO much of the previous years
crop left over as there was this year,
and that for both the prices have
ruled during the marketing months
very considerably higher than they
ruled year ago, there does not
seem to be much, even on the basis
of these poorest crops, 10 support

MILWAUKEE Sentinel, The lugu-
brious Democrats declared, during
the recent campaign, that the farm
mortgages in the states of Kansas,
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Iowa and Wisconsin, amounted to
S., 900, 100000 The census returns
show that the mortgage indebted
ness of the entire United States is
s85o,0o0,00o, or only little more
than a fifth of what was said to be
the farm Indebtedness OF seven
states. These evidences that the
country is not ruined are very

Pedigree of Free Trade and Pro.
lection.

The ideas of protection were
handed down by such men as Lin.
coin, Seward, Sumner, Greeley, Col.
fax, Grant, Log gan, Logan, Sherman,
Garfield, Blaine, Conkling and Har
rison. Free-trade is handed down
by Calhoun, Toombs, Floyd, Wise,
JEFF Davis, Breckenridge, Voorhees,,
Hendricks, Carlisle and Cleveland
The doctrine of free trade had a
conspicuous place in the Confederate
constitution. The south had no
fears of foreign cheap labor under
the benighted days of slavery, hence
their notions of free trade. Protec-
ton was instituted and fostered by
patriotic statesmen who will ever
live in the hearts of true Americans,
while free-trade is a twin TO and
born with the doctrine Of States
Rights and received new life and
yigor from the hot beds of secession,
and has been famed ever since by
those who sought to destroy the
country. Protectlonists need not be
ashamed of their ancestry. -Scrdn-

TRIBUNE SUBSCRIBERS BENEFIT.
The Weekly Inter Ocean and Serb
ner's Magazine at Unheard-of
Loan Prices.

The TRIBUNE, seeking to benefit
its patrons in the selection of fine
family reading, heartily recommends
/ 70 each home the subscription to
good metropolitan newspaper for
Wholesome general news, and
monthly magazine for It's literary
merit. CHANGING calmly over the
field of journalism we nave selected
the Weekly Inter OCEAN and Serb
ner'S Monthly as the two very best
possible visitors to the homes of
this or any other community.
The Inter Ocean next March will
enter its twentieth year as an active
and earnest Republican newspaper,
| during which time il has seen many
party triumphs and reverses. The
circulation of this paper continues
greater than any other of its class
west of New York. 1t is manifestly
western journal devoted to west
ern interests, though, combining at
the same time eastern conservation
with western energy and progress,
it well represents both sections in
news and literary features. 1t is
indeed a favorite in the family cir
Gle. This Is largely owing to the
high literary character it maintains
and its special features which inter
est every member of the family.
Among these are: The Youths De-
partment, edited by Frances Hodg-
son Burnett, Womens' Kingdom,
Curiosity Shop, The Home and
Farm; each of which is most ably
edited.
ScribBer'S Magazine is too we'll
known to need much comment here.
So superbly illustrated, it attracts
the young and entertains the old;
so high in literary merit, it literally
educates the youth and instructs
their elders; in rank among the
monthlies it takes first place in
every department. Fiction, poetry,
travel and choice miscellany com
bine to make a volume of this mag
azine a valuable addition to the
library.
The TRIBUNE has made especial
efforts to make rates with these
periodicals. BY special arrange
ment with the publishers we are
able 10 offer our subscribers great
saving in the subscription prices by
combining with the TRIBUNE. Com
pare the prices:
The Weekly Inter- Ocean and the
TRIBUNE may be obtained by this
means both for $40. The regular
price of the Inter ocean is S1OO.
Scr56ner's Magazine, the Weekly
Inter, ocean and the TRIBUNE, all
,hree, may be obtained for 1895.
The magazine itself is regularly
sold for $500.
/
We have still another combination
for our patrons: BY special arrange
ment we are pleased to offer the
! Weekly Inter. Ocean, the TRIBUNE
and nelo high arm Seloing machine,
one of the best manufacture, at a
price much less than subscribers
can purchase the machine for any
where else-S22.00.
Our success in offers of this kind
in the past has prompted us to
these great bargains; and opportun-
ity should be taken to send your
subscriptions to us at once. These
can only be obtained through the
tribune office. Call and get speci-
men copies. These make exception

Better Prices for Farm Produce
Have Come to Stay.
tFrom the American Economist.

From the American Economist)
Undoubtedly the short crops have
something to do with the high prices
now ruling for agricultural products.
Yet they are for the most part due
TO the return of more favorable in
dustrial conditions which will per.
manently relieve the late agrlcultur-
al congestion. The New York
Commercial and Financial Chronicle
of December Is has the following
timely and thoughtful consideration
Of crops and prices in recent years:
Very likely it will be claimed
that the farming sections must be
weak because the crops were so
much poorer this year than year
ago. Ii is strange how widely and
constantly this fact has been stated ,
and yet how partial a truth 1t is.
Even if the inquiry be confined to
the three crops, wheat, corn and
oats, which cover about all the loss
made, it is a fact worth knowing,
for il is very important one, that
the aggregate yield for the two
wears 1889 aud 1890 exceeds the
aggregate yield Of any two consec-
utive previous years in the history
of the country. Here is state
