REVIEW OF THE FIELD.

AS the smoke of election battle clears
away and defeat stares us in the face
on all sides, we have nothing to regret
in the position we took on any question:
When we feel we are right in our posi-
ton on party principle we are always
willing to stand or fall when the verdict
has been given. The people have
spoken by their ballots, and we hope
wisely, yet we still believe that time
Will prove, if the democrats carry out
their platform, that they were mis-
taken in making the change. Opposing
parties will always be necessity and
defeat must always be borne by one
side or the other The democrats have
Weathered through many similar storms
and perhaps it is no more than right
that republicans should have their
trial. AS we look back over the cam
paign as carried on by the republicans
in the state, we cannot discover in what
particular they could have improved it
or in any way have changed the result.
The people are undoubtedly satisfied
with the state administration, and dis
satisfied with President Harrison or
they would not have voted to make the
change. We accept the situation with
good will and wish our democratic
friends success in all they undertake.
The battle is over and we believe every
body is glad of it.

BUSINESS OVERDONE.

1t is pleasure to note that the Green
Bay Railroad Co. are having more
freight business than they have cars to
handle it with. The past week that
company placed an order for 1900 box
cars to be delivered on or before the
month of February. At present they
are using several hundred cars they
rented from other companies. The
passenger travel is constantly increasing
and prosperity is evident on every
hand. We take great pleasure In
noting these facts and hope it will con-
tinue in the future

BERT PAYNE DEAD.

a telegram was received in this city
Friday morning by Mr.. Silas Payne
bearing the sad news that his son Bert
WAS killed in a boiler explosion near
Aberdeen, South Dakota, the previous
evening. We were unable to learn full
particulars, but it seems that Mr.. Payne
was working with a steam thresher
about eight miles from the above place
and that near sundown Thursday even
ing the fatal accident took place. The
remains will be taken to this city for
interment. The bereaved parents have
the full sympathy of all in this hour of
their great aftiiction.-Enterprise.

Advertising That Comes High.

A single page in one issue
Of the Century, taken for advertising
purposes costs $500; in Harper's
$4OO down to 500. \ yearly adver-
tisement in one column of the
New York Herald costs $4,000 for the
lowest and $4,000 for the highest price
column. These figures will doubtless
be of interest to men who invest two
or three dollars per month, and fatter
themselves with the idea that they are
extensive and liberal advertisers.

READY-MAOE CLOTHES and SHOES.
PAY ENOUGH!

Some people are too anxious to save
when buving a watch, thinking that
a cheap one will do as well as a good
watch, and that all the difference in
watches is in the price. May be it
requires IL moral effort on your part
to pay US $1,000 for a plain looking
but honest time-keeper, when some
body else generously offers you a
gold watch for~S2.50 and-just for
goodness sake-throwsi in a gold chain
and charm. OF course it is all a
tame schwirdel," as the Jew said
when he went up in a balloon and
couldn't find the silver lining of the
cloud. 1t happens every now and
then that's person sends off for such
gold watch, gets it, and then loses.
faith in watches and humanity for
ever and ever and ever. We think it
would pay you to call on us and see
if We have What you want, and if we
can't suit you, at all, out Of a large
stock of fine watches, why-it is time
enough thensto send out of town for
q $3.50 gold watch.
