THE LEGISLATURE.

We are heartily IN accord with
the following editorial taken from
the Milwaukee Telegraph. We
hope members of the coming legis-
lature will heed its policy and
success will crown its labors:
what a political revolution
there has been in Wisconsin since
the Democrats divided the state,
giving it an apportionment that was
dishonest in the extreme. Six
years from the meeting of that
legislature another legislature will
assemble that is so overwhelming
ly against the party that gerry
wandered the state that it is almost
laughable. Fifteen Democrats and
Popullsts are all Of the opposition
the Republicans will have in the
next legislature. On the shoulders
of this intensity Republican legis-
lature will rest great responsible
ties. That it will meet them and
the expectations of the public there
is ample reason for believing. That
it will do its work we'll we need
not doubt. Every man should be
on his good behavior from begin
ming to finish. There should be
no bungling legislation; there
should be no unjust legislation;
there should be no class legislation.
AS there will be no contest for the
senatorship that work will be
easily attended to. There is likely
to be only one Republican name
before the caucus. Indeed, the
chances are that there will be no
caucus. The chances are that it
will do as it did in 1867, assemble
in Joint convention and vote direct
for senator. That is the way the
late Timothy 0. Howe was once
elected, and if we mistake not that
is the way ex-senator Philetus
Sawyer was once elected. There
should be throughout the session
harmony that is as nearly perfect
as possible. There should be an
utter absence of factional quarrels.
Every member should make it his
business to see that when the leg
islature adjourns there is not even
a sign of cloud Of factionalism.
Much depends upon the legislature.
If it meets and fghts-if the Re-
publican members array them
selves against each other-their
fights are taken to their homes,

had time to appreciate, but some
thing of its meaning we know and
all the people of the country know.
AS to the past, it means that the
American people have grown tired
of keeping foreigners at work while
American workmen sit in idleness.
1t means that they have grown
tired of letting the foreign pro-
ducer have the American market
as free gift. It means that they
have grown tired of closed work
shops and silent machinery. 1t
means that they have grown tired
of a national deficit; that they
have grown tired of bond issues.
1t means that they have grown
tired of business stagnation and
industrial depression. It means
that they have grown tired of hard
times. 1t means that they have
grown tired of Free-Trade and Of
all its train of evils. 1t means
that they have seen the folly and
the hollowness of all the Free
Trade rant about Tariff taxation;"
that they have found out that free
raw materials is a snare and de-
fusion; that they have learned that
"the markets of the world" is only
a catch word to deceive the I'M
thinking and the unwary. 1t
means that they have learned the
value of our home market. 1t
means that they have learned that
the prosperity of the American
people depends on the employ
ment of American labor. 1t means
that they have come to believe
with William Mckinley, that
nothing from abroad can be cheap
to the American people, which
means idleness among ourselves.
1t means that they have learned
that "a revenue Tariff levels down"
and that "a Protective Tariff levels
up"
AS to the future, it means bust
ness, it means confidence. 1t means
an end to idle capital and idle
workmen. 1t means the Ameri-
can market for the American pro-
Queer. It means work for Ameri-
can labor. 1t means better wages.
1t means prosperity for American
homes. It means that the
American system Of Protection to
American industries, the system
which has never yet failed to bring
prosperity and which never will
fail to do so, is to be the perma-
nent policy of the American peo-
pie.

Yachts and YachtSmen,

The pilots at St. Pierre, MID, have a new
14-ton pilot boat, sloop-rigged, which has no
reef points in her mainsail, but the boom
works on a swivel and when sail has to be
reduced the canvas is wound around the
boom, which is worked by wrench.

allowing them to fly the American flag and
exempting them from port charges imposed
upon foreign owned vessels of like charac-

Maine Rivers and Harbors.

WASHINGTON, April 80. The river and
harbor bill has just been received from
the printers after being reported to the
Senate with amendments by Senator Frye
OF the committee on commerce. BY the
amendments made in this committee the
appropriation for improvements for the
Maine rivers and harborS has been in
creased by S31, 900. Should the confer
ence committee of the House agree to the
Senate amendments there will be expend
ed therefore in Maine during the coming
fiscal year the total sum of S251, 800
The Senate amendments are made only
upon the improvements for the rivers,
the harbor appropriations remaining as
fixed by the House. These, as will be re-
membered, are as follows: Improving
Camden harbor, 5000 Rockland har-
Dor, S25, 800; Mooseabec bar. S12, 600;
Portland harbor, so, 900; Belfast harbor,
IS, 600; Mt. Desert breakwater, SO, 600;
Sullivan Falls halbor s., 900; Carver 5
Harbor so, 600; total 800, 800. Accord
ing to the amended bill the appropria-
tions for improving the Maine rivers will
be as follows: Bagaduce river, s., 900;
kennebec river, so, 900; Narraguagus
river, s., 600; Lubec- channel, So, 900;
Saco river, 10000; Union river,
SD, QUO; Georges river, SO, 600; Sa-
samoa river, $40, 900. OF these amounts
the Senate has made an increase
of SIS, 900 in the appropriation for
Kennebec river, an increase of 81, 900
for Sasanoa river and added an appropria-
ton for the dredging of Union river which
was not inserted in the House bill. The
latter appropriation was doubtless insert
ed BY Senator Frye in response to large
.l,,I
this spring. The increase in the Kenne-
bee river appropriation is doubtless made
in consequence vi the recent heavy flood,
and clause is added authorizing the sec
Rotary of war to expend SO much of the
$50, 900 as is necessary for repairing dam
ages to improvements made by the fresh
ct. The report of Major Heap, of the
corps of engineers, calls for an expendi-
ture of $40, 900 and the amount is fixed in
the bill in place of the ST., 600 appropriate
ed by the House bill.

Alaska, the New Mining World.

Latest advices from Cooks Inlet are
that the Denslow, Ward & Company's ex-
petition, bankers, of so Broadway, N. y,
has arrived upon their gold placer
grounds, which are within fourteen DAYS
from New York city, and that active oper-
atoms upon large scale have already be-
gun. From letters received we make the
following memoranda:
This is the most deliberately equipped
Alaska party that has ever been fitted out,
taking everything useful in the mini ng
way, from a needle to sawmils, stea m
engines, and powerful hydraulic works s.
The working company consists of twenty
five experienced hydraulic and quartz
miners, and seventy five first class men,
viz, engineers, skilled mechanics, archi-
tects, surveyors, a physician and sur
geon, besides large stock of horses and
provisions. The beautiful town site, as
anticipated, covers 100 acres of choice
and, and is the most eligibly situated spot
upon the shores of Cooks Inlet, it being
the only deep water and safe harbor where
docks can be built, and will control the
shipping trade of the Pacific coast for 300
miles.
A name for the town has not as vet been
chosen, but it will be unique and worthy
of its noble founders, where large future
city, with wealth, trade and commerce.
has got to come; while for beauty, con
venience and health the town will not be
surpassed in America.
1t is being laid out in the most approx
ed city style with wide avenues and streets
at right angles, and ali due provision
made for churches, schoolhouses, court
house, prison and public squares.
The apparently inexhaustible coal beds,
forty miles in extent, belonging to the
company, and which stand out in actual
bluffs of solid strata along the shore, are
being mined for immediate use and for
later shipment from the docks of the COM
pany to Japan, San Francisco and other
Pacific coast markets. The vast coal bus
mess will, beyond all doubt, make this
company an assured commercial success,
for millions of dollars must accrue to the
treasury from this source alone.
Machinery, sawmills, lumber and Little
Giants are being put into place for i'm
mediate operation upon the great gold
placers which have been secured, while a
locating and surveying corps are taking
up some twenty miles square of the richest
virgin gold placers ever discovered. After
these new lands are surveyed and record
ed for patents, general map is to be

niticant.
