THE Philadelphia Record. referring u
the extravsgant record of the billion dol,
lar congress, says;
The expenditure of the billion congress
is such q bewildering total that it is hard
to grasp il. 1t is to be divided up and
thought of in separate sums. 1t smount-
ed to 80. 000.0 900 per day while congress
was in session. Counted in silver dollars
there was metal weight of 5000 tons
per day, or about $525 apiece for each
senator and representative. For the two
sessions Of 500 days the expenditure was
at the rate of $23 second. This is 6
tolerably rapid gait 1t is not probable
that the billion congress will ever find its
equal for rspscious proflIgscy.

The "snd-tights" wave is spreading
1t has struck the capitals of Michigan and
Illinois as we'll as Minnesota. The wo-
men have started the agitation at Lansing,
and the men at Springfield. At the latter
place in our beloved state, the legislators
are overwhelmingly against an anu>tights
law and ridicule the movement as prudish.
The members of both houses have been
interviewed and only few are in favor
of the law. Some of the reasons gwen
in its favor read very funny, while the
answers of its opponents are productive
of levity.

High Tariff in 1880.

The simplicity of our forefathers on
the tariff question almost passes belief in
this day of McKinleyism. The stately
old gentlemen who met in the first con-
gress selected carriages as articles of
luxury on which to levy the highest duty
in the first tariff law. This high tariff
on carriages was placed at Is per cent.
and then the forefathers thought they
had done something in the high tariff
line which would lay burden on the
rich. But we have outgrown the ideas
of the fathers. We bear duties ten times
as high as their carriage duty, and we
are even told that the tariff is not tax.

DEATH OF w. H. PECK
An Educator and Publisher Who Filled
an Honorable Position in Life.

w. II. Peck of Platteville, but
formerly of Mineral Point, died in
Madison last Sunday afternoon of
enlargement of the heart. Mr..
Peck had been confined to his bed
since Thanksgiving but his death
was unexpected. He has been
resident of this state for nearly
thirty years, and was well known
among Wisconsin educators and
publishers. Since last January he
has been holding the situation Of
filing clerk IN the secretary of states
office, taking the place of Capt.
Jones. Mr. Peck was born at
Lynden, Vt, in 1915. He graduated
from Dartmouth college in 1862 and
then came to Wisconsin engaging
in teaching in high schools in the
southern part of the state. More
than twenty years ago he served as
principle of the Mineral Point
schools and afterwards as county
superintendent of Iowa county and
at the same time published the
Mineral Point Democrat. In 1874
he went TO Chicago, where he owned
and conducted for some time a
printing establishment. Seven years
ago he settled in Platteville and
established the Platteville Ne,oS,
which he sold last spring. The
deceased leaves a wife and two
daughters, one Of whom teaches in
Fort Atkinson.
Mrs. Peck and her youngest
daughter had been with the sick
man a few days prior to and since
his illness. They, with his eldest
daughter, Miss Mary II. Peck, and
Mrs. Fish, his sister, wife of Prof.
Fish, Of the state normal school at
PIatteville, were at the death-bed
Mr.. Peck had been feeling unwell
week or two before taking to his
bed, and did not work Thanksgiving

from nervous exhaustion, but never
complained. He passed away peace
fully, keeping up his CHEEKY spirit
almost to the end.
The remains were taken to Platte
vile and there laid to rest on
| Wednesday. Several state official,
attended.-State JonnaI
In this city and county Mr.. Peck
had many warm, personal friends.
He was a man among men. Because
Of his quiet, unasuming manners
his ability and worth were not
brought fully to the front, and in
consequence, it is believed, did not
receive the reward on earth which
such sterling traits merit, For the
bereaved wife and daughters much
sympathy is expressed.
