WISCONSIN A BANNER STATE.

Mckinley, the apostle Of protection,
the great governor and the advocate
of sound currency, will be our next
President. Though the returns up to
the time we go To press are still in
complete and few states are still in
doubt, the assured number of electoral
votes for Mckinley undoubtedly give
him the election. The states that
seem now to be in the safe Republican
column are California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, New York, North
Dakota. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Yer
mont, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
having a total of 264 ELECTORAL votes.
But pa of these votes are necessary
for choice, so that Mckinley will
have at least 20 votes for good will
Our state is a standard bearer,
comming to the front with stanch
majority of 100000. Pennsylvania,
the key stone of the East, turns in the
splendid plurality of 100000. Illinois
tips big snOw-bank over Altgeld and
gives a majority Of 10000 TO Nc
Kinley, while Michigan, Indiana and
California are won by liberal margins.
In Kentucky Breckenridge is turned
n md eafnlxs
claim the state. Minnesota, for a
long time desperately wooed by the
Populists and given over only at the
last moment, emphatically declares
for Mckinley and rejects
Lind for ClOugh. Missouri and
Kansas waver for a time but finally
go over to Bryan, the latter very
reluctantly.
In st. CroiX county Mckinley is
given plurality of LOLA, Scofield and
Jenkins running close up TO these
figures. BOrchsenius is winner for
assent bly, and Woodwork for State
Senator. The entire county ticket
goes to the Republicans by pluralities
ranging from 600 to LOCO.
Our own county gives the Republi-
can ticket the handsome majority of
over 1000 right down the column
McKinley's majority is expressed in
the grand total of 1905, and every
town in the county, even to El PasO,
gives its vote to his party.
This is the way the towns have run
up Republican majOrities, giving a
count not officially issued but as ac-
curate as can be determined: Clifton

The fishing industry at the head of
Lake Pepin, of which we hear some
thing occasionally when some fisher
man is brought into court for viola
tion of the fish laws, is business of
far greater proportions than the ma
jority of people hereabouts have any
idea. On this side and across the lake
in Wisconsin there are probably thirty
or forty men who devote nearly their
whole time to fishing. They supply
the local market here and ship large
quantities of fish all through the
season, some consignments going to
points as far distant as Kansas City
and even beyond. Even such fish as
sturgeon which are used very little
here, find ready sale, the negroes
especially relishing this species. The
business of a season amounts to thou
sands of dollars, some single hauls of
fish being worth as high as $75. The
business is carried on all along the
lake, but at no place on so extensive a
scale as it is at the head.-Red Wing

A philosophizing farmer remarks
that there is one good thing about
taxes besides their certainty, and that
is the fact that they do not discrimi-
nate against good farming. The man
who raises % bushels of wheat to the
acre does not pay any more tax than
his next door neighbor, who raises
only 10 bushels, because of his shift
less ways and general worthlessness.
Again, it costs no more per pound to
ship 25c butter than would be charged
for the soap grease variety.
