1t will take the funny men some little
time to get down to all the peculiar names
in the Fifty-fourth Congress. Probably
the roll will be called number of times
before the name of Sauerhcring will di-
vest itself of IAN ancient and fish-like'
sound. The wearer Of this name is one
of the accidents of the late election. He
lives at Mayville. Wis. and his home ad-
joins that of Mr.. Barwig, the present men,
Der of Congress from the second Wisconsin
district, who was defeated by Mr.. Sauer-
herring in the late mpleasantness. Mr.. s.
is a native of Wisconsin: his father went
to that state in 1875 and started in the
drug business. The old gentleman now de-
votes most of his time to old settler as
sociations and telling the younger genera
ton Of the early history of the badger
state. The son still continues the drug
hOsiness, started SO long ago For several
years Mr.. SaueIhering has been an act
i've republican. He is a young man, but
thirty-one years of age, and while he Is
not the youngest member OF the next
House. he will be well down toward the
the republican managers of the second dis
trict We're looking about for some one TO
carry the banner of a forlcrn hope In the
solid democratic district-AIr. Barwir car
ried 1t two years ago by about G,iUi ma
jority-some one said. Tets give it to Ed"
and so the young druggist of the peculiar
name was selected. He made campaign
such as many another made, without hope
of success He circulated his cards. which
bore n picture of himself, and this inscrip
ton: ED. Saucrhering, republican cand
date for member of Congress, second dis
trict, Mayville, Wis" TO everybody's sur
prise he was elected by majority over
Barwig of go. Mr.. Sauerhering is not
likely to remain in Congress long. The
small majority by which he elected
can probably be easily overcome in such
a strong democratic district that rep
resented by Mr.. Barwig, unless, perhaps,
the republicans should rearrange the dis
trcts so to give him better show.
His picture shows him to be a rather good
looking man, with more than the ordinary
degree of intelligence. For time he will
he asked for by visitors 10 The Capitol, as
his name will give him some prominence,
much the same as was the case with Quigg
of New York.
There seems to be some lack of equity
in the way justice is dealt out. While the
lawyers are arguing and turning every
point to secure the release of Capt. How
gate, who everybody believes made away
with three or four hundred thousand dol
lars, there was sentenced i'm the court
across the way, to three years in the peni-
Tertiary at Albany. negro boy who had
been guilty of taking a bicycle from the
sidewalk and was riding it about the city.
Somehow, this seems a little out of pro-
portion.
Alex. ]. Jones, who was connected with
the Associated Press in Washington about
a year ago, has been elected to the Illinois
legislature. 1t is explained that he es-
capped the landslide, he being democrat
because the democratic voters We're each
privileged to vote three times for him.
Alex. got sure thing before he played it.
1t is understood that in better times he
will make the race for Congress, and those
who know his style have no doubt of his
ultimate success.
