SENATOR QUARLES.

The question as to who would sue
coed John L. Mitchell in the United
States Senate, for the term Of six years
commencing the 4th of March next,
WAS decided on Monday evening last
by the election Of Joseph V. Quarles,
OF Milwaukee, The struggle WAS pro-
tracted one, and there were doubts for
some time whether any one of the can
didates who originally entered the con-
test would be chosen. dark horse"
being expected to enter the field at any
moment. Such did not prove to be the
case, however. The supporters of the
different candidates would not desert
their men until released, one minority
candidates would not give way to an
other, and under the circumstances
there was no way out of the difficulty
than to unite upon Quarles.
Whether Mr.. Quarles ID the best man
could have been chosen Tor the position
of Senator, we shall not presume to
Say, but he showed by far the most
strength during the fight, and it is reas-
enable to suppose from that circum-
stance that he was the one whom the
people wanted whom the gods had
marked out TO be one of the leaders Of
the people. But be that as it may, no
one who knows him will doubt his
ability, or question his determination,
to do the most that can be done for his
native state and the nation as whole.
Viewed from every way We think that
the people generally, and the Republic
can party IN particular, of the state, are
to be congratulated on the happy out
come of the struggle.
In is satisfaction to US to know that
our representative in the assembly
stood By Mr.. Quarles from the first
ballot to the last. Notwithstanding the
pressure brought TO bear on Aim to east
his vote for another In SO doing he
showed himself to be man Of good
judgment and worthy OF confidence.
Mr.. Catlln is to be commended for his
course
The TINES has much pleasure IN con-
graduating Mr.. Quarles on his election,
and wishing himself and family a pleas
ant sojourn in the nations capital,
where genius and beauty are passports
TO distinction.

War Department Reorganization.

There has never been a time in the
history of the United states when right
" or wrongly the War Department was
so profoundly distrusted by the country
az to-day. Yet Congress is asked TO en-
act legislation which will virtually
quadruple the size Of our regular army;
and there is to devolve upon our forces
the very difficult and delicate business
of occupying Cuba and the Philippines,
while military governments are to be
maintained in those islands under War
Department direction. Ii is to be hop
ed that Congress will have the wisdom
and frmness to thoroughly reorganize
the War Department before increasing
the army. The army of the United
States should be commanded by its
generals. Our navy is IN fine order
and enjoys unlimited confidence be-
cause it lie not in politics. Our army
management lis III wretched shape be-
cause 1t is permeated with the spirit of
political bureaucracy. 1t is in no man
ner pleasant to pass criticisms of this
kind and while the war was actively
on our hands the system aad to be
borne with. But the country has been
patient long enough, and the time for
plain speech has fully arrived. 1t is
not to be believed that Esgan or any
Other man in office in connection with
supply bureaus was directly or Indirect
~ trying TO make cent out of the war.
We do not for a moment suppose that
there is any corruption to be uncarth-
ed, either in Eagan's or in any other
army bureau, But Eagan's outhurst
shows the spiri, of hatred and jealousy,
discord and essential characterization
that has existed among men exercising
important military functions; and such
spirit, actively at work, is almost as
demoralizing to the army as specua-
ton or aud.-From The Progress of

The Power of Good or Evil AssO.
Citations.

Be not deceived Evil communi-
cations corrupt good manners" is one
of the wisest sayings of st. Paul, the
greatest and wisest Of the apostles. "A
man is known by the company he
keeps" is an axiom Of such universal
truth that it has passed into proverb.
The reputation of q man is like his
shadow, which either goes before him
or follows him" Whether this shadow
shall be of good or evil omen. dark or
bright, noble or ignoble, depends wholly
upon the man himself.
The famous court preacher, Herder,
who formed one of that brilliant galaxy
of which Goethe and Schiller were
leading lights, ard which made the lit
tie city Of Weimar, the intellectual
capital of the world, crystalized these
truths in rhymed parable which may
be thus rendered into English:
Friendship, my son, with men Of diverse
Good, bad Indifferent. is not the same.
A drop of water on hot iron fell,
And passed to nothingness beneath its spell
1t sought the calyx OF a beauteous flower,
And fresh and glowing, lived its little hour.
But cherished in 4 shells heart. it became
real pearl in lustre, worth and fame.
There is story Of one of the great
Italian masters who painted an angel
face of such exquisite spirituality, pur-
ity and beauty that it became the Won
der and delight of all who gazed upon
it. He had in this picture almost ex
actly reproduced the face of his model,
a young BOY who fully realized his idea
o. angelic Ioyeliness.
Years after, having been commits
stoned to paint the face of the Evil One.
tie sought lar and near for model who
in form and features should embodv
his idea of all that was loathesome, dem
onac and horrible. He found this
model in the convict Of a prison cell.
and upon investigation learned that the
seraphic child he had painted long ago
and this trightful caricature Of human
ity were one and the same person. 1t
was evil associations that had wrought
this blight of Il human body and soul.
Have many acquaintanccs. but few
friends" is a wise counsel. AMI let these
friends be chosen with the utnst care.
A true. steadiast friend is DESERT ed by
Frederick Won Bodenstedt as
" That one pure jewel mid the worlds alloy.
Beneath whose spell LIES sorrow turns to
joy"
The poet adds:
Art thou a beggar OF all else bcreft.
Count thyself rich while one true friend is
left.
: Is thine earth lofticst throne, thourt
poor indeed,
II no friends heart respond to thy hearts
need.
Boeenstedts sovereign. Louis II. of
Bavaria, was SO pleased with his poem
written is praise of genuine and worthy
friendship that he had it framed IN gold
and had it hung above his writing desk

The Gold That GlitterS.
DO RICHES MAKE HAPPINESS. OR
DOES HEALTH MAKE
WEALTH

The richest man cannot always be
said to be the most successful, for true
success is not possible without happi-
ness. Many a wealthy man would give
all he now possesses to have the health
and happiness of a young athlete.
Health is not hard to get and keep if
good judgment is used in caring for and
supplying the needs of the system.
Nature often needs assistance; YOU
sometimes abuse nature by overtaxing
your nerves. your brain, or your body,
and you haven't time to relax, and
take the rest that you need You must
have outside help. Pabst Malt Extract.
The Best" Tonic, will supply the ex-
ira fuel, food, and strength; it is abso-
iutely pure an unequalled assistant to
nature in giving health, vitality and
strength. 1t will make you eat and
sleep well, and cause You to feel like
yourself again. or perhaps, better than
you ever felt in your life. The Best"
Tonic was awarded the 100 points of

The Smith Family.

The extent TO which the Smith fam
lily figure in general affairs was dem
onstrated yesterday in the case of an
oyerCoat thief, who was brought up for
punishment in a MAGISTRATES court
says the Philadelphia Record. The
prisoners name was John Henry Smith,
and he looked accurately the part he
had played in purloining another man S
garment. The policeman who caught
the daring 'awbreakeI and dragged him
to the bar Of Justice WAS William Smith
the typical terror of lawbreakcrs.
The judge before whom Prisoner
Smith was brought by Policeman Smith
was Magistrate +. X. Smith The trio
OF miths all had to smile when the
fact was brought out that the Smith
family WAS So well represented. The
color Of John Henry Smith, the prison
er, precluded the possibility of mis-
claiming relationship with the Smiths
who represented the dignity Of the law
and the best that could be done for
HIM vas sentence of three months
The smile which spread over the
faces Of the three Smiths grew into a
loud gntfaw a moment later, when OH
Ger Edward Smith appeared at the bar
with a prisoner charged with drunken
ness. who looked wise when asked his
name. and replied. John Smith. Jr.'"

of having a trade, where best 10 learn
it, the right age at which to begin, the
wages of an apprentice in the various
branches of skilled labor, the wages of
a lOurnevman, the average duration of
work in the year, and the possibilities

capital. The information contained in

detail, as every lad who is about to take
