The general result of Tuesdays
elections throughout Wisconsin and
the country ut large is tribute 10 the
common sense and patriotism of the
American people. Party spirit did
not manifest itself in any great degree
and the party bitterness exhibited In
the national contest, u few months
ago, was almost forgotten. These
facts are full of promise for the
country, and just rs full of warning
for politicians who sneer Mt the inilu
ence Of men who refuse to follow par
ty leaders wherever they may choose
to 80. The independent voter has
come to stay, and good government is
his desire rather than party success.

Col. Ingelsoll has been delivering
his lecture on Truth, in st. Louis,
where Mr.. Moody has been holding
forth. The contention between the
two is, Who is preaching the truth
Mr.. Moody tightly says he has been
preaching the truth for years. IL the
specimens of lngersollism which are
given from time to time in the papers,
are indications Of Ingersoll's truth, the
less we have of 1t the better. For, nc.
cording to the truth which lngersoll
breaches, 1t is better to take ones life
than to endure Its ills. This pernicious
doctrine, which he breaches MS II truth,
has resulted In more deaths than we
