WALKING IN CARNOT's FUNERAL

There was, however, amid the
mournful splendor of the pageantry
of last Sunday one figure on which
all eyes were fixed. The new presi-
dent, ainging etiquette to the winds,
followed the dead president to. his
tomb. Alone, in the broad interval
between the family carriages and the
great officials who followed, walked
Casimir-Perier, target for anarchist
bullets. He was told it would be an
act of rashness, and that the police
in such circumstances were powerless
to protect him. Nothing could move
him from his resolve to do what he
thought duty to his predecessor and
to the state. 1t was, in truth, an act,
not of rashness, but of high courage,
of personal courage, and of that civic
courage which is higher still. This Is
the spirit in which the menace Of an
archist murder is to be met, and so
long as this spirit inspires the leaders
Of civilization, the enemies Of civili-
cation are impotent.-G. W. Smalley's
Letter to New York Tribune.

THE VALUE OF THE ARMY.
A Sermon Preached From the Text
of the Strike

1t is difficult to see how any one
can follow the occurrences of the past
fortnight without realizing the great
wrong they do to liberty and the
country, who discredit our army and
seek in any way to deprive it Of its
just claims to conSidera ton and sup
port. In view of the events of the
present, and the possibilities of the
Immediate future, this seems almost
l;'re suhornation of treason. The ad-
ministration at Washington is entitled
to great credit for the >vigor with
which it is acting in this emergency.
The assertion Of authority in the de-
cisiOns Of United States courts over
the railways, which are our modern
highways, goes beyond anything we
have heretofore had, and it was great
~ needed. Indeed, without it, it would
seem as though chaos might come
again. The presence of our army is
limited to protecting those who enforce
the processes of the courts and to
guarding public property; it may con-
serve national rights when they are
once declared, but it has no power to
go beyond their judicial and executive
assertion.
The necessity for a larger army is
becoming more apparent every hour,
and it would seem hardly possible
for congress to ignore it. The pending
appropriation bill should have added
to it clause removing all restrictions
upon enlistments. This would permit
the increase Of our army to the maxi
mum strength Of the several COM
panies, troops and batteries. The rest
could safely be left to the discretion
of the president.-Army and Navy

THE FIRST DAY.

The academy of music was thronged
ton assembled yesterday. Gal
leries, boxes platform and au-
ditorium were filled. Ladies were
numerous and palms and flowers lined
the front of the rostrum. Upon the lat

old editors. In a box at the right was
a small but distinguished party, in
Guiding Editor Horace Rublee Col E.
W. Keyes, Congressman J. W. Bah
cock and eX-Lieutenant Governor S.
S. Fifield. Directly over their heads
were chairman Wall, of the democratic
committee and Postmaster Forth, of
Milwaukee. Mrs. Baibcock was among
the ladies in boxes opposite. Mr.. Wall
smiled good-humoredly while Orator
Elliot was likening him to a nickel
in-the7slot machine, and a universal
whoop went up at the mention Of
Blaine's name.

Milwaukee, July 27.-The above is
the ticket whose forming it required
the republican convention two days to
accomplish. The work ended at 7:2O
last night, and there at once ensued a
scattering of the weary delegates.
When the convention reassembled
yesterday morning Upham's nomina-
ton was a foregone conclusion. No
combination could beat it. The Marsh
field man was the second choice of
too many delegates to be in any dan
ger of defeat.
HauSen was the second choice Of
none, and at no time during the entire
contest did he stand the remotest pos
sible chance of being nominated, but
his followers utterly failed to get onto
the loaded wagon even when it was
perfectly plain where it was. Upham
won in their very teeth, and has moth
ing whatever to thank them for
ho
ton to order at IL a. N. IN the pres
ence of an immense gathering of eX-
pectant people. There was no delay
in proceeding to another ballot for gov
ernor. 1t was the sixth formal but
the first Thursday. Such material
changes were announced from the first
district called, that it was plain the
Upham tide had really set in. The
wave grew bigger as the vote pro
crossed and cheer went up when,
long before all the districts had been
called, the 173d Upham vote was
recorded. Monroe, Winnebago, Sank
and other counties got onto the loaded
vehicle in fine style, but Dane and the
other Haugen followers still held aloof.
AS soon as the roll was completed
Milwaukee scrambled aboard, as did
all the tenth district except Douglas
and Sawyer counties. John NJ. Ewing
proclaimed that the Taylor interest
was now all Upham's, Waupaco flop
ped, and then Alley Peterson put a
climax on the situation by moving to
make Upham's nomination unanimous.
Delegate Eastman, of Marinette, sec
Onded the nomination; so did Judge
Classon, of Oconto, both Scofield boom
ers, and the motion prevailed, while
hats and papers went into the air, 10
Quarles lead in three cheers and con-
fusion generally prevailed. The bal

There were loud cries for Maj. Up
ham, and a committee Of three was
named to bring him to the hall. Chair
man Elliott named G. II. Everett, OF
Beloiq T. B. Reid, of Appleton and
j. w Quarles, of Milwaukee. Dele
gate FALL, of Milwaukee, wanted all
the candidates brought in. Chairman
Elliott said that it would be the sense
of the convention that all of the can
didates would be welcome at any and
all times.
+. P. Lamoreaux moved that the
gentleman who nominated Mr.. Black
stock be given an additional five min
utes to speak at this time. The sug-
gestion was greeted with cheers, and
there were cries of Blackstock, who
came forward and told a good story
or tw o. He finished only on the ap-
pearai nee of Major Upham, who was
greeted with great applause. The ma
Jor made very brief ana simply
wooded speech of thanks.
A SHARP CONTEST.
A motion being made to proceed to
the nomination Of a lieutenant govern
or, A. G. Dodge, Of Green county, pre-
sented the name of J. B. Treat, of
Green county. E. T. Wheelock, of Med
ford, presented the name of Jesse
Stone, Of Watertown.
Thomas Torrison, Of Manitowoc
county, nominating Emil Baensch,
called the attention Of the convention
to the fact that the sixth congressional
district is overshadowed by democracy.
1t was of great Importance, he said,
that Manitowoc should give all the sup
port that can be mustered for the NOM
lnee for congress in that district, and
2 nominee from Manitowoc county
would aid materially in bringing about
the desired congressional election.
In naming T. A. Copeland, of La
Crosse, J. J. Esch, of that city, said
that he did not come to deliver pam
egyrlc ON the republican party. He
came to nominate Col. F. A. Copeland,
La Crosses favorite son. He called at
tenuon to Col. Copeland's political SER
vices and paid a glowing tribute to
MIN as man. 1t was one Of the best
speeches Of the convention.
There being no more nominating

time the president was writing the
letter to Senator Wilson," Mr.. Villas
went on dramtically, 1.-The senator
from Maryland and his coadjutor were
appealing to Mr.. Cleveland to induce
him to support them in an effort to
qualify the enactment Of democratic
principles instead of crystalizing them
into law. How utterly wanton IS this
cry of interference now because he
has seen fit to throw the weight of his
influence with the house in favor OF
influence with the house in favor Of
democratic principles; because he re-
fused to stand with them. they make
his action the ground for complaint
here aud in horror cry out against 'ex-
ecutiye interference Mr.. Villas said
he was content to leave it to fair
minded men whether the president
wantonly encroached upon the tights of
congress.
Senator Villas asked leave to with
draw his motion to instruct the senate
cOnferees to recede from the duty of
One-eighth on refined sugar
Senator Stewart spoke on the re-
spective prerogatives of congress and
of the executive. The question on Mr..
Hills resolution in the senate to re-
cede from the amendments of making
coal and iron dutiable at forty cents
! per ton then came up. The first vote
! taken was on iron ore. The repub-
! leans, except Mr.. Hansborough. voted
| with the democrats and the first half
! of the resolution was lost. The vote
were: Senators Hill, Irby, Hansbor-
! ough, Allen, Kyle and PETER. The
was to So. The six affirmative votes
vote on coal followed, which was also
defeated by to GA,
Senator Washburl. then submitted a
/ motion to instruct the senate con-
ferees to recede from the portion Of
the sugar schedule placing an eighth
of cent differential on sugar above
| Is dutch standard. A general debate
/ followed and without arriving at any
conclusion the senate adjourned.
Washington, July 25.-The confer
ence report On the fertilization bill
was agreed upon and assigned to a
committee. Some thirty bills reported
from committees, were passed. Among
them was the bill amending the act
! for the construction of a bridge across
the st Louis river between Minnesota
and Wisconsin.

Washington, July 24-Mr. Hill made
another speech in defence of the
president. He said he sympathized
with the presidents letter to Chair
man Wilson. Its sentiments were his.
The president violated no clause of
the constitution when he sent that
letter. He had the right to do it. 1t
was private letter. No democrat on
the floor could controvert the position
taken by Mr.. Cleveland in that letter.
He saw that to place a duty on coal
and iron would be to violate tn at
form declarations of the pa y and
would place the party, whose success
he desired in a false and indefensible
position. The democrats of the coun-
try were in sympathy with Mr.. Cleve-
land Democratic clubs and demo-
cratic conventions all over the country
had endorsed the Wilson bill IN respect
to free raw materials. On the other
hand the senate bill had been re-
ceived everywhere with signs of disap-
prevail. Even in the senate, every
democratic member of the finance
committee had announced himself as
personally in favor Of free coal and
free iron ore.
In the house fourteen bills from the
committee on public lands were
passed; also the bill providing for the
unemployment Of certain DISCHARGED
railway postal clerks.
Washington, July 25.-The tariff de-
bate was continued in the upper
house. Senator Villas said that an ex-
traordinary scene occurred on Monday
last in the senate. A democratic SEN
ator, he said, saw fit TO attack the
president, without precedent, he
thought or if there was a precedent
it was one that ought to be Stunned
instead Of followed. It was per-
sonal assault upon the president and
his character. What were the points
OF accusation?' inquired Mr.. Villas. "in
the remarkable assault to which [
have alluded?" Mr.. Villas then re-
viewed at length the presidents posi-
ton IN favor Of free raw material, his
letter of 1887 and other public utter
anceS up TO his message to congress
at the opening of the present session.
Constantly, Mr.. Villas declared, MI.
Cleveland had insisted upon this prin-
ciple. 1t was everywhere proclaimed
by his supporters to be the first step
in the enfranchisement of labor from
the thraldom of unjust labor. Could
it be possible, he asked, that any one
supposed he had abandoned the prin-
ciple that lay at the base of any
scheme of tariff reform? What was
the proof adduced in support of this
alleged change Of heart? Mr.. Villas
then ranged alongside of Mr. Cleye-
lands utterance the statement Of Cor
man that the senate bill could not
pass if it did not have the hearty sup
port Of Mr.. Cleveland cat the very

Washington, July 27.-In the senate
the pending question was the decision
of the chair on the points of order
raised by Messrs. Gray and Mills
against Mr.. WaShburn's motion to in
struct the senate confereeS to recede
from the Is per cent. differential on
sugar.
Mr.. Henderson was Immediately rec
ognized and proceeded to argue
against the point Of order upon which
so much hinged. He maintained with
vigor. that it was competent for the
senate to instruct it's conferees.
Senator Harris in the chair sus-
tanned the point Of order against
Washburn's motion. An appeal was
taken. The vote to lay the appeal on
the table was a tie-32 to 80, and was
lost
The question reverted to the motion
to sustain the decision of the chair
The roll was called amid most in
tense excitement. It also resulted in a
