For a Prosperous New Year.

The report that the Protectionists on
the Ways and Means Committee have
already taken steps to prepare Tariff
bill which will protect the industries of
this country, and the prospect that an
extra session of Congress will be called to
pass such Tariff law, was as welcome a
Christmas present as the people of the
country could have received. 1t doub-
ly valuable, first, because it means a
speedy end to the foreigners friend
the anti-American Wilson-Gorman law ;
and secondly, because it means that the
new Tariff law will have fair trial be-
fore the next Presidential election. The
success of the FreeTrade party four
years ago was due wholly to the mis-
representations which were made and
the falsehoods that were told about the
Mckinley bill. The two years of unpar-
alleled prosperity which followed its
enactment were not even sufficient to
counteract the fabrications spread broad
cast by the Free-Traders. The new law
if passed in extra session, will have fully
three years of trial. There is no doubt
but that it will stand the test. A Pro-
tective Tariff always does stand an honest
test. 1t will have another advantage
over the Mckinley bill, of even greater
value-viz, the comparative history of
the Mckinley bill with its successor,
the Wilson-Gorman bill-the remem-
brance of the upbuilding of industries,
the activity of business, the rise III wages,
the unexampled prosperity under the
Mckinley law; the mendacity and per,
version of fact which led to its repeal
the stagnation of business, the closing
of factories, the loss of wages and the
general paralysis Of industries under
the partial Free-Trade of the German
bill. On the whole the people of the
country should have sat down to their
Christmas dinner in peace and thank
fulness that the era ofprosperity is again
so near at hand with the coming ofa new
year. Let us hope it will be happy
and prosperous one for all of US
Economist.

Prompt Payment by the Federal Life
Association.

As usual the above company is right to
the front in the payment ofits life losses.
Mrs. VIM. H. Brown who recently died
in st. Paul, Minnesota, carried two pol
ices of $1,000 each in the Federal Life
Association of Davenport, Iowa. One
thousand was straight life $500 of which
was payable to George Ward and $500
payable to Mrs. Jane Stocking. The
other thousand was Saving Fund policy
payable to VIM. II. Brown with cash
accumulations. On Dec. 29th c. J. Car
man, state agent, paid these two policies
in full $500 to Mrs. Jane Stocking; $500
to George Ward, and S105S62 to Mr..
VIM. H. Brown. The $5S.62 is the cash
accumulation on the policy since the
date of it.
The above facts would not warrant
the recent rumor upon the streets that
the old reliable Federal Life Association
was busted. This payment makes a
total amount of $17 Jos 80 that has been
paid to benefcaries in this locality

Milwaukee Sentinel and Upham.

We were very much surprised to read
the editorial in Sundays issue headed,
"Gov. Upham's Exit" The author of
that article attempted to leave the inn
preston with the reader that Upham
could have secured a denomination
had he desired it. We know that if w.
H. Upham had had the least idea that q
denomination was within his grasp he
never would have succumbed to the
will of what we are pleased to call the
bosses, when they told him he would
haye to be satisfied with one term. 1t
was all these same elements united to-
gether could do to defeat La Toilette s
ambition for the nomination as those
who were in the last republican state
convention can testify. Upham would
never have been in it q minute had he
been a candidate for re-nominatiou
against La Toilette. The Milwaukee
Sentinel knew it to be a fact that Gov
Upham was forced off the track because
he had made failure Of his admins
tration and could not secure re-nom-
inatiOn.

The Future Of Democracy.

Baltimore Sun: AS for the future of the
democratic party, it is involved for the
present in great deal of uncertainty
That the party is destained to survive
the great error committed at Chicago
last summer, as it has survived even
greater errors in the past, we have no
doubt. The principles of democracy, as
laid down by Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe and Jackson and illustrated by all the
antebellum dem ocratic administrations
from Jefferson to Buchanan, are bound
to survive all the follies that may be
committed in the democratic name, be-
cause they are the historic and neces-
sary constitutional principles on which
our republic was founded, and which
cannot perish while the republic itself
endures.

Both Wrists Broken.

Our neighbor and respected towns
man, J. NJ. Thorn, met with serious
accident on Saturday. With the aid OF
a step ladder be had ascended upon the
roof Of his house for the purpose of fix
ing chimney. On descending in some
manner as he stepped upon the step
ladder it slid out from under him,
throwing him headlong upon the hard
frozen ground, breaking both wrists
and injuring the cheek bone. Mr.
Thorn is a large, fleshy man, weighing
over 200 pounds, and it is wonder that
he came out of his fall as fortunately as
he did. He is getting along as we'll as a
person can considering the severe fall
and shaking up he received. He carried
no accident insurance.

Upilam And Rose ZOIdOSki.

The closing act Of Gov W. II. Upham
in pardoniEg Miss Rose Zoldosl1, is the
most commendable act of an otherwise
discred1ta bic administration. Wecan re-
call no act in his whole administration
that is SO deserving of the commenda-
ton of the people, as a whole, as the
closing one. We have no personal
knowledge of the girl or of the crime
which she was convicted of, except what
we read in the daily papers at the time
of trial but we have ALWAYS felt since that
time that the evidence published was
not sufficient for her conviction, and
therefore are delighted to know that
Governor I pham had the manhood to
pardon her, even though it was in the
closing hour of his term. Republicans
will have the pleasure of pointing to
one act of his administration that theyare
not ashamed of. Had it not been for
this the last one-we would have look
ed in vain.

Electing The President.

Mr.. Mckinley will not be officially
elected president until Monday, Jan. II.
Electors who were chosen in November
Will meet that day at such places in the
several states as the laws of such states
require and vote for president and vice
president, and make and sign three GER
tifcates of all the votes given by them,
each OF which shall contain two distinct
lists, one Of the votes for president and
the other of the votes for vice president,
which lists shall be annexed to one OF
the lists of the electors certified to by
the governor of the states. The consti-
tuition OF the United States, article 2,
section l, paragraph 2, gives congress the
power to determine the day on which the
presidential electors shall cast their
votes. An act Of Feb, 5, 1887, to be
found in volume l of the supplement to
the Revised Statues, page 525, fixes tie
date given above-the second Mon
day in January-which this time falls on
Jan. IL.
The electors shall seal up the certif-
Gates made by them and certify upon
each that the lists of all the votes of such
state given for president, and vice pres
ident are contained therein, and shall,
by writing under the hands Of all, ora
majority of them, appoint person to
take charge of one Of these certificates
and deliverit to the president of the
senate at Washington before the first
Wednesday in January: they shall at
once forward by mail to the president
of the senate another of the certificates,
and the third certificate they shall cause
to be delivered to the judge of the
United States court of the district In
which they have assembled. Congress
shall be in Joint Sc ssion on the second
Wednesday in eb., and the president
of the senate, in the presence Of both
houses, will open the votes and they
shall be counted, and the person having
the highest mum brr Of votes for presi-
dent, if such number be majority of all
the votes cast, shall be president; and
the person having the highest number
of votes for vice president, if such num-
Der shall be a majority of the whole,
shall be vice president, The action OF
the electors is usually Il mere formal
ity, ratifying the choice of the peo-
