Senator Quarles.

HON. J. V. QUARLEs has been NOM
mated and elected to the United States
Senate from the State of Wisconsin.
After days of waiting and working the
inevitable has come at last and the
citizens of the Badger State and their
representatives in the State Legisla-
ture are rejoicing at the result. After
struggle unprecedented in the his
tory of our commonwealth, protracted
throughout many days and hOtly con-
tested at every point, the Republican
party has elected to this position of
great responsibility amid the opposition
of five rival aspirants, man who can
boast of butSlittle of this worlds goods,
no politician whose sole recommended
ton lies in his splendid qualifications Of
mind, body and character, and has
emerged fromlthe melee with no lasting
jealOusies or bitterness aroused, but
rather more closely united than before.
In this as in all other things the Re-
publican party has sought to observe
4 Che wishes of the people with the
happG result that public sentiment has
been satisfied and the public's good
sense reelected.
The election of Mr.. Quarles was not
the work of machine politics. 1t was
the triumph of the best Judgment of
the best elements in Wisconsin politics.
He owess his1electiOn to no clique OF
faction, but to the people, for, notwith~
standing the circumstances. it was the
strong under current of popular opinion |
which fnally.undermined all opposition
to Mr. Quarles and secured his victory.
he goes to his new duties !
unhampered and free to use all his
talents to their utmost in the promotion
of the manifold interests and the main
tenanGe of the honor of his state and
Ia view of the m0mentous events of
the past year, and realizing that the
closing days of the 10Th century will
usher in a new era OF new policies and
new responsibilities, the election of a
Senator assumes a deeper significance
than it might in different conditions
In the coming decade our Senators and
Congressman will be confronted with
problems of great moment, in which,
mavhap, they will find little in prece-
dent to assist them. Thus it becomes
necessary that we provide against the
future by electing to the Senate the
best material of which we can
boast. This Wisconsin has done in the
election of J. Y. Quarles. He assumes
the Senatorial toga at a trying time,
but his friends have sincere confidence
that he will atsall times, in all things
be guided by the highest principles OF
Republicanism.

Knights of Pythias Treat the RarDOcne
Sisters to a Pleasant Dance.
The Knights of Pythias gave the
RathbOne Sisters very pleasant sur
prise on Tuesday evening. The ladies
were engaged in holding their regular
monthly social meeting when the
Knights made raid on them and
assisted in devouring the sUpper which
the ladies had carefully prepared for
the occasion. The surprise was care
fully arranged. The knights had
announced to their wives and lady
friends that they had chartered a
special car to go to Racine. The ladies
doubted but an announcement in the
city papers threw them completely of
their guard and when the twenty
Knights broke up their meeting they
were completely dumbfounded.
After the knights had partaken OF
the bountiful supper prepared by the
ladies, an informal dance was given
Jacoby & Compton furnished the music
and the jolly social time was enjoyed
until early morning.

REVENUES TO BE MoRTGAGED.
President Mckinley Wants an Immediate
and Friendly Settlement of the
Army ouestion.-Porter to
Confer with Gomez.

Havana, Feb. Robert p. Porter,
the representative of President Nc
Kinley, and Gonzales Quesada, the
Cuban commissioner, who recently left
Washington on special mission to
Cuba, started Tuesday morning for
Caibarien, province Of Santa Clara, in
order to see Gen. Maxine Gomez.
Mr. Porter's mission to Gen. Gomez
is of a twofold character, to discuss
| with him fully the position of the Gu
ban army and to invite him to Ha-
vana.
The Washington administration de-
sires an immediate and friendly settle
ment of the Cuban army question. AS
the military chiefs decisively refuse to
accept $3,O0O,OO0 in complete satisfac-
ton of the claims of the soldiery,
Washington has determined, it is UNI
derstood, to offer a much larger sum,
even as high a sum as $15,0OO,O0O, If
less will not be accepted Whatever
is agreed upon is to be charge upon
the revenues of the island until it is
paid
The CubanS, civilians and military,
are aware that an engagement OF this
sort may prolong the American occu-
patton, but as it seems to be their ear
nest wish that the army be paid
great sum the administration at Wash
ington will yield, it is understood, and
open negotiations with this ultimate
object.
Mr.. Quesada, before starting for Cal
BARREN. said: "A loan of $3,OOO,OOO to
pay our army would be entirely IN
adequate. All the city councils in
the island should petition for further
loans. The American evacuation of
Cuba is a question of months only.
With calmness and patience all Will
end WELL
Col Jose Antonio Gonzales Lanuza,
formerly secretary of the Cuban Junta
in New York md a member OF the
special Cuban commission that has re-
GENTLY conferred with, President Nc
Kinley, said today that the result or
the commissions trip to Washington
was, not all that had been hoped for.
President Mckinley, he said, ind1cat-
ed to, the commission his readiness to
appropriate 100000 toward the pay
ment Of the army, but this sum, he
said, would be insufficient.
In the opinion of Col. Lanuza the
amount offered would have been much
greater "but for the uncertainty as to
the Philippine question and the posi-
bility of heavy expenditures there"

OPENED THEIR EYES.
silver Republicans Have Had n Les
son Which VIII DO Them
Much Good.

In the next congress the so-called "silver
republicans will be found back in the old
camp. Senator Cannon, of Utah, says the
silver jig is up: there's nothing left of it,
Former Senator Peffer, of Kansas, leads a
secession of the republican element from
the populist camp back to their old connec-
ton. Senator Teller. of Colorado may
stay out in sheer bitterness of spirit, but
the golden deluge has simply swampcd the
free silver delusion and turned all the
theories and assertions on which it rested
TO foolishneSS.-Buffalo Commercial.
The republican party added another
chapter to a noble history when it took
its stand so untlinchingly against the
cheap money delusion. The country
owes it debt of gratitude which can
never be fully repaid. Yielding to the
silver folly would have been as disas-
trous as surrender to the fiat money
idea of 20 years ago, and would have
brought upon the United States hnan-
eial ealamities so appalling that recov-
cry from their effects would have been
impossible for a generation at least.
The march of industrial progress would
have been almost hopelessly retarded.
and the unparalleled prosperity and en-
largement of our foreign trade, now
the marvel of the world, could not have
been brought about.
1t is doubtful even if, with our ma
ional credit seriously if not permanent
ly impaired, we could have protected
the national interests when in danger.
The trouble with Spain might have had
different ending. 1t is to the credit
of the 'silver republicans" that they
are getting their eyes open and return
ing to the fold. But how much wiser,
better and more patriotic it would have
been had they stood stanchly by their
party. which upheld the financial honor
of the country, instead of following
the popocratic banners that led to de-
feat and notwithstanding Times.

HIS BATH NOT A SUCCESS.
Being in Hurry He Forgot to
Take on His Under
clothes.

1t seems her husband had been out very
late celebrating, and as he came home in the
rose flush of the morning he thought it
would be capital idea to take bath be-
fore getting into bed. First of all and most
important it would contradict any wrong
impression as to his condition, as his wife
sometimes had wrong impressions when he
had been out late at night. Women are SO
suspicious.
So he went boldly to the bathroom and
was soon splashing around gayly as
canary. In fact, he created such an un-
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter.
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with a look so cold and contempt
uous that it struck a chill to his very
heart. But he made dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his abu-
tions.
What are you doing there, Peter?" she
asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.
Cant you see what | am doing my dear?"
Unanswered, with another prodigious splash.
I'm taking a bath"
Don't you think it would be good idea
for you to take off your underclothes?" she
asked him, with frozen reflection as she
passed out of sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

TOOK z FRESH START.
Municipal Ownership scheme Adopted
by the City Council Of Detroit After
Fierce Struggle.

Detroit. July 12.-Municipal owner
ship Of the Detroit street railways
took Il fresh start last night, in spite
of the recent adverse decision of the
Michigan supreme court annulling the
appointment of the street railway com
missioners, and in spite of various
other kinds of opposition. After five
hours of fierce argument and desper-
ate tilibustering the common council
hy a vote of 10 to ii passed the So
called security franchise ordinance.
This ordinance prescribes the terms
under which the street railways are
10 be operated by their present owners
in the event of their reNersion through
the municipal corporation (organiZed
by the late commissioners in behalf
Of the city) failing to meet the pay
mcntS according to terms of purchase.
Mayor Maybury will veto the ordi-
nance. but Gov. Pingree and the other
promoters of the municipal ownership
plan appear to be confident OF Secur-
ing four more votes necessary to pass
the ordinance over the mayors veto.
The veto Will be presented next Tues
day night. If the security ordinance
finally passes, a working ordinance,
under which the "Detroit Municipal
Railway" corporation will operate the
roads, will also be passed. In the
event of passage of both ordinances
the municipal company will doubtless
have to pass through injunction pro-
ceedings before three-cent fares and
city Through corporation) ownership
is accomplished.
The Detroit Municipal Railway Co.
originally consisted of the three
street railway commissioners. Yes
trrday the council was notified that
Carl f. Schmidt, one of the late com
missioners, had withdrawn from the
municipal company and that Jere {.
Futchins (vice president and manager
of the Detroit Citizens Street Railway
Coz had been substituted in the Nut
nicipal company forSchmidt.
The security ordinance was taken
from the table by vote of II to II,
which was the vote throughout the
long struggle with two exceptions,
these being a proposition to substitute
thrcc-crnt fares for six for a quarter:
the other obliging submission of the
ordinance to vote of the people.
After several hours of flibustering
and debate, Alderman Beamer, presi-
dent of the council, made a sensational
attack on the ordinance and its pro-
motcrs. Charges shat several of the
aldermen had been improperly influ-
enccd by the street railway people
were freely made by Beamer. So
broad were his hints that one alder
man threatened to fight.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Announcements are made occa-

But why they are held no one seems to
know.-Troy Times.
EyBetween Bryan, the silver man,
and German, the machine man, the
mugwump press is certainly in a bad
fix.-Springtield Union.
EEAt this time it looks as if repub-
licans in all sections of the country
were pretty well agreed to making
President McKinley's denomination
unanimous.-Baltimo Herald.
GyEX-Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
says the democrats should have no dis
tinct issue in next years campaign.
That would be distinctly democratic
to just wait for something to turn up
on which the democrats might oppose
the MISUNDERSTANDING Leader.
EFOne of the most prominent silver
ties who departed from the republican
party in 1896 was II. l.. Louclls, of South
Dakota. Last week, however, he came
back to the old party as a delegate to
a republican convention. The eXpan-
sion sentiment in the new states which
went for Bryan in 1896 is bringing those
who left the republican party for sill
yer or popuism back to the republican
ranks.-Indianapo Journal.
G1FThc fight to rid the democratic par
ty Of the free s4Iver iSaIa is being car
ried on systematically and with Il vigor
that will cause the Bryan people much
trouble if it does not result in their be-
ing won over entirely. That the move
nent is concerted and widespread is
becoming more apparent every day.
When we consider that the party was
never silver party from principle, but
merely to get votes, it can he easily un.
derstood how good are the chances OF
the anti-silvcr men for success in the
campaign they are now waging.-Den

Clerk.

A quietIooking, smooth-shaven man, with
a straw nat pushed back from his forehead,
registered from an adjoining parish at the
Grunewald one evening and laid a package
cS the counter. The package was about

was wrapped up in an old newspaper that
bore the stains of travel. 1t was tic1 with
piece OF white cotton string. Il wish you

sir, replied the clerk, and, reaching for the
receipt book, proceeded to fill out a blank.
Whats the value" he asked, mechanical

HAS REACHED THE LIMIT.
Frenchmen Have Obtained All the
Tariff Concessions They Can Get.

Washington, July lat appears to
be the accepted view in well informed
government quarters that the limit of
concession has been reached in the ne
gotiations with the French autflori-
ties for a reciprocity treaty and Tues
days conference did not bring about
any material advance in the negGtia
tiOns.
France conceded the minimum rate
on the entire tariff schedule at the out
set, the difference between the usual
maximum rate and the minimum rate
being 20 per cent. ,ir. Kasson, in
return, submitted a list of articles on
which our rates would be reduced
under the provisions of Section 4 of
the Dingley act, allowing not over 20
per cent. reduction on articles agreed
upon. The American concessions,
however, have not proved as satisfac-
tory in Paris as was expected, and
consideration has been given of late
to extending the list somewhat. Some
further concessions have been made
ON our side, but these have not been
sufficient TO close the negotiations.

THE CHINAMAN OBJECTS.
Gen. Brooke Has Brought Out "a Pro-
test from the Consul General.

Havana, July 12.-The Chinese con-
sui general has filed a strong objection
to the decision of Gov. Gen. Brooke
that commercial treaties between
Spain and other foreign countries do
not apply to Cuba, as was formerly
the case, and that future treaty ar
rangemCntS must be made with the
United States in the name OF Cuba.
The ground of his objection is his fear
of emigration restrictions. Under the
old regime Cinnamon were admitted
and immigration encouraged. and they
are now to he found in all parts of the
island, employed principally as house
servants, though many work on the
plantations and in the sugar mills
where they have proved excellent help.
In the opinion of the Chinese consul
general the arrangement of long
standing ought not to be disturbed.
especially as Cuba is so much in need
of labor.
Many Cuhans object TO admitting
the Chinese, owing to the extreme sus-
ccptiniIity of the latter to leprosy. \
large percentage of the inmates OF the
leper hospitals are of Chinese origin.
