TRIBUTE TO MATERNITY

Nine. Virginie Dermont looks back
to her earliest childhood to find the
first traces of the maternal instinct,
the power in almost all of her import
ant pictures She cannot remember
time when she did not think of chill
dren-of her own children that were
to be. The children who now exist in
fuenced the life long before they were
born. When she became mother the
little ones resembled strongly the chill
dren she had depicted in her paintings
years before. She has lately written:
Maternity is the most beautiful, the
healthiest glory of woman it is a love
dream in palpable form, and comes
smilingly to demand our tenderness
and our kisses; it is the inexhaustible
source whence feminine art draws its
purest inspirations.-Mrs Lee Bacon,
in the Century.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 14.-The re-
Iublican joint legislative senatorial
caucus last night was sort of love
feast Great enthusiasm prevailed
The assembly chamber was crowded,
the doors being opened to the public.
Senator ]. j. McGillivray of Black
River Falls, made the address placing
Col John G, Spooner in nomination
for United States senator. Senator
Weton made brief, but earnest sec
onding speech, then the vote was
taken, lis votes for Spooner, none
against. The only republican Of either
house refusing to aid in the nominal
tion was Assemblyman A. R. Hall of
Dunn county, who is noted for his
hostility to railway passes and has for
many years waged bitter fight to
compel the railroads to pay more
taxes He Is supposed to look with
disapproval upon corporation lawyer
being sent to the senate. He will
however, vote for Spooner at the cleo
ton, so he admits privately A COM
mittee was appointed to find the NOM
inee.
Col Spooner was greeted with
tumultuous reception when the COM
mittee escorted him into the chamber
and he responded with a ten-minute
speech. He paid high compliment
to the gold democracy, whose splendid
services in the last campaign none, he
said, appreciated more than he and he
hoped that the republicans would con-
tinue to receive its help: yet for all
that he was republican and
grateful though he might be, he saw
no occasion for the abandonment OF
those weli-known principles which are
essentially republican. If elected SEN
ator he should, he said. do his utmost
to have an effective protective tarlff
law enacted-a law applicable to
present if not to past conditions"-a
law that should be conservative, in
which specific duties should be substi-
tuted for ad valorem, that should pro-
duce revnues sufficient for the pur-
poses of the government economically
administered Further he would aid
in the reestablishment of the reciprocal
policy Of Blaine the mention OF whose
name even now makes our hearts
beat faster" He declared for curren-
cy reform, without specifying the
kind, and for the present non-fluctuat-
ing monetary standard, and he voiced
his conviction that the United States
government might protect it's property
at any time and at any place without
asking for the consent of any state
executive. He pledged his support to
Mckinley. and returned thanks for
the honor granted him, saying that,
coming unanimously this time, it was
even greater than twelve years ago
when the same dignity came to him
but after q long though friendly con-
test. Col. Spooner was frequently
interrupted by applause, particularly
in defining his views as to party policy.
His formal election occurs Jan. 26.
