The greatest judge that the world
has ever known is the American citizen
standing in an election booth ready to
mark his ballot. On the justice of his
decision hangs the destiny of the
greatest nation on which the sun ever
shone. If every voter understood his
awful responsibility, our institutions
would last into the centuries. But
alas! the sacredness Of the ballot box
is thoughtlessly violated by too many
voters.

The Senate.


Washington, Feb. L.. Throughout
its session yesterday the senate had
the financial bill under discussion.
After 2 o'clock the debate proceeded
under the ten-minute rule and the
times became spirited and interesting.
Late in the afternoon test vote, in
dicating approximately the majority on
the proposed bill, was taken. Mr..
Chandler Of New Hampshire offered an
amendn ent to authorize the president
to appoint commissioners to any inter
national bimetallic conference that
might be called, and it was defeated by
a vote of 45 to %. The Chandler prop
osition out of the way the discussion
proceeded on the amendment brought
in by the finance committee providing
that the provisions Of the bill are not
intended to place any obstacles in the
way of International bimetaliSm The
Democratic senators arraigned the Re
publicans for reporting the amend
ment, declaring they were insincere,
and the proposition was intended to
hoodwink the people and catch votes.
NO vote on the amendment was
reached. The final votes on the amend
ments and and the bill will be taken
some time to-day.
The House.
1t was the intention of the Republic
an leaders of the house to call ND the
Porto Rico tariff bill to-day but there
was such a demand for time to discuss
various questions during the general
debate on the legislative and judicial
appropriation bill, which was called
hot
notice that he would allow the Porto
Rican bill to go over until Monday.
The debate upon the legislative bill
yesterday strayed far from the bill,
touching the question of government
deposits in national banks, reckless ex-
penditures for pensions, and. finally,
drifting into the question of election
methods in Missouri. Mr.. Bartholdt
Of Missouri raised the latter question
by attacking the Nesbitt law, and pro-
voked long reply from Mr.. Benton
OF Missouri, who In turn aroused Mr..
Pearson of Missouri Some very
caustic things were said on both sides
The Senate.
Washington, Feb 10. - The senate
substitute for the house currency bill
was passed by the senate yesterday by
the decisive majority of %. Prior to
the final passage Of the bill amend
ments were considered under the ten
minute rule. Only two of these
amendments Were adopted. one offered
by the finance committee keeping the
door open to international bimetallsm,
and one by Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota
providing for national banks with S25,-
600 capital in towns Of not more than
1000 inhabitants. The vote taken on
the various amendments offered were
practically along party lines. Mr..
Chandler Of New Hampshire voted for
the bimetallic amendment but against
the bill. Mr.. Caffery of Louisiana and
Mr.. Lindsay, Of Kentucky voted
against the committee amendment but
Tor the bill. Mr.. Kyle Of South Dakota
was the only senator who did not vote
and was not paired. The free silver

consin a few years ago, when
times were not as prosperous as
they are now, are reaping their
reward. Northern Wisconsin is
feeling expansion in the trueat

ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
of acres of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
well as the manufactures which
can be obtained at low figures
and on easy terms. Good roads
fine school houses and other i'm
provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kao-

plies the wants of everybody.
The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin
