The statement Of failures by class

failures have been smaller than in
any other month Of the entire period,
in trading smaller than in any other
month except one, and in many
branches Of manufacture. smaller

weary Of their dismals and begin to
see the dawn of better days Last
month was the first for four years of
which the volume of business re-
ported by clearing houses was larger
than in the same month Of 1892. and
the telegraphic dispatches from all
parts of the country given this week
show gratifying improvement. This
is probably due to large yield of
wheat, and good prices, though the
crop is probably not as large nor are
prices thus far as high as in 1882. but
of cotton the price is higher and the
yield probably larger than in that
year.
Other farm products are realizing
good prices and the possible decrease
in yield of corn may help the enor-

SchOfield a Candidate.

Governor Scofeld has been forced in
self-defense to declare himself a candi-
date for reelection next year. This
course has been imperative in conse-
quence of the persistency with which
Mr.. LaFollette's friends have been using
his name of late, and which has many
evil forebodings for the older members
Of the republican party. Governor SEQ
field expects to throw himself on his
record and trust to that alone for future
success. How he will fare is hard to
predict. 1t is no exaggeration 10 state
that Governor Scofield is not as popular
as he was eight months ago. He has
made mistakes, some Of which might
have been averted if ordinary judgment
had been Fused, and while some of these
errors are comparatively small matters,
those who have noticed them have been
forced into the conviction that the gov
ernor is far from being infallible.
La Follette's course is one of indie
pendence. He seems to be striving to
unmask hypocrisy in political affairs
and to point out the weakness of his own
party. He does..not spare the machine
politicians in the least and bis words
must cause the administration consider
able annoyance. He has the backing of
some of the most influential papers in
the state. although they do not manifest
it in tin-hOrn manner. There are evil
dently stirring times ahead of the repub-
lican party in Wisconsin.-Green Bay

TRIP TO EUROPE.
Rev. j. II. Rowland Has an Atlantic
VOyage.

a lady who recently visited Mr.. Row.
lands family at Waupun, contributes
an item to the Press, which will be of
interest to our city readers.
Exactly at one O'Clock p. m. Saturday,
July 10th, the steam tug pulled the
great ship "Eteuria" out into the har-
Dor amid the many fareweIls and way
ing of handkerchiefs.
AS the steamer got out to the great
ocean the large breeze came up with
invigorating effect. SO much was this
apparent that typical "Son of Erin"
remarked that eff we were exposed to
such say breezes for three weeks we'd
be healthy people all the rest of our
lives" this remark was made to Mr..
Rowland just after the starting of the
steamer. The pleasant experiences of
the voyage continued until Tuesday
afternoon, July Is. DisagreeabIe
weather came on compelling them to
seek the sheltered side of the steamer
A gospel service had been planned for
that evening, but the plunging motion
of the steamer decided it could not be
held.
The next two days were very stormy
and he went through in common with
hundreds of others the awful experience
sea sickness in aggravated form. The
weather moderated however, and if it
were not for a very dense fog which
came on that night, the steamer would
have landed early next morning, as it
was, the steamer landed at Queenstown
late in the afternoon of July 18th. The
first place where he went to renew
acquaintances with old friends and
neighbors, was at Cork, where he
preached the following day. He spent
two weeks in visiting old friends and
then proceeded to the home of his
childhood. He found his aged parents
very well indeed. Every Sabbath since
he has been there he has preached at
least once a day. He will visit several
other places before he returns, and is
at present visiting relatives in different
parts of England. He is booked to sail
on the largest steamer on the ocean,
the "Campania" on the fourth of Sep
tember. His many friends both in New
London and Waupun, wish him a safe
return home. During his absence his
pulpit at Waupun has been temporarily
supplied by different young ministers.

gress Is. .e without independ-
ence and there is no independence
when any human is excluded from any
business or prohibited from the legiti

heard Of army surgeons making any
progress for the simple reason that they
are at the command of some other per-
sons. Rigid military discipline destroys
liberty to such an extent that steady,
progressive action and thought becomes
so frequently interrupted that no final

investigation requires uninterrupted
leisure.
The liberation of woman which allows
her to enter medicine, as well as other
departments of action stimulates men
to greater progress, to higher morals,
to finer habits and to better citizens.
With woman in medicine, man doctors
must discard vulga stories and tobacco
cucs, the smoker must give up his offen-
sive habits, the lazy male must assume
activity and the drinker must drop his
drinks. With woman in medicine man
will learn to be more worthy competi-
tor, with lessening avarice. Woman in
medicine purifes the medical vocabu-
larry, introduces cleaner Offices and
neater men. Woman III medicine re-
fines doctors habits and breaks down

break the shackles of tradition, eman-

action. Woman in medicine will lessen

will aid to check quackery and credulity,
devise better means for the treatment

man in medicine will teach human lib
erty, will teach the girl independence,
TO earn her own living and buy her own
necessities and not to sell her morals
for mess of pottage. Woman in med

real diseases, in which the chief dark
ness is ignorance, and aid to save the
young from lives of misery and disaster.
Woman in medicine is great step in
human progress.
