On Monday las t. at noon. Hon. N.

On Monday last, at noon, Hon. n.
p. Haugen of this city closed a
Congressional career covering a
period of eight consecutive years,
during which he made for himself a
record of which he may justly feel
proud. He has ably served his con-
stituents with fidelity and zeal
which has won for him a national
reputation as one of the most efficient
members of the House of Representa-
tiyes. Broad and liberal in his views
upon all questions affecting our
prosperity as nation he has ever
been found an earnest champion of
those measures calculated TO foster
American interests, and stoutly
opposing the enactment of all laws
whose tendency would be to retard
our advancement as people. In the
halls of Congress Mr. Haugen has
been heard upon all of the leading
subjects brought forward for legisla-
tive action in that body, and the
clear and logical manner in which he
has discussed them has eyinced a
familiarity with the matter i'm hand
which marked him as one thoroughly
imbued with purpose TO perform his
full duty as the custodian of a public
trust. In short, his service in
Congress has been an honorable one,
rejecting great credit alike upon
him self and his constituents. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Haugen was
the "SOle survivor" of the general
break-upof the Wisconsin Republican
Congressional delegation caused by
the land slide in 1890, and we are
constrained to believe that had he
refrained from entering the guber-
Material race in 1894 he would have
been chosen for fifth term in Con-
gress. Be this as it may he has hosts
of friends who regret his retirement
from the position which he has so
long honorably and acceptably filed,
but they may well be congratulated
upon the fact that his Congressional
mantle has fallen upon so worthy
as we coafidently believe
Hon. j. j. Jenkins Of Chippewa Falls
TO be.
