Representative Mcpherson, of Iowa.

Representative Mcpherson, of 10 IVA,
who was this week nominated by
President Mckinley as judge Of the
United States court for the southern
district of Iowa, has received many
hearty congratulations. The confir-
nation of his nomination by the
senate is likely to be unanimous, as
his reputation as a leading member
of the Iowa bar has been long es-
tablished.
Senator Foraker's remarks in a
short speech just before the senate
passed the Porte Rico bill, contain
ing the tariff clause, stated the posi-
ton of President Mckinley and the
supporters OF the bill in a nutshell,
and should be carefully considered
by those Republicans who have al
lowed themselves, for one or another
reason, to antagonize the bill. He
said eve are going to give absolute
free trade to the people of Porto
Rico. 1t will come in less than TWEEN
ty-three months under he bill. In
deed, in six months they may have
free trade ii they will only take adj
vantage Of thu opportunity given
them under this bill to ask for it.
We are not violating the recommend
alton of the president. We are ap-
proximating to it absolutely. He
did not say that it >}0nld come now.
right away, dav before yesterday,
but that we Ni,u,lld na>t. free trade.
and that we should bring it about by
legislation. This legislation we are
now enacting, but it cannot be put
into operation at once. Free trade
now would leave the Porto Ricans in
a state of helplessness.
While President Mckinley and
every member of the cabinet agree in
the belief that the condition of the
treasury, IN which a surplus is stead
lily accu nulating, is such as to war
rant a material reduction in the
internal revenue, taxes imposed to
meet the expenses Of the war with
Spain. the time remaining of the
present session of congress is so
short and the matters to be cOnsid
cred in the formation of legislation
making a reduction SO complicated
and important that the cabinet and
the president have decided that it is
inexpediept to recommend any legis-
lation along that line at the present
session. Meanwhile treasury officials
will investigate and report on the
receipts from internal revenue tax
alton, go that the president may
include a recommendation for the
reduction of that class of taxation
in his annual message at the opening
of the next session Of congress.
Secretary Hitchcock promptly &C
ceptsd the resignation of Hon. Web
ster Davis as assistant secretary of
the interior Mr.. Davis leaves the
government service In order that be
might be free TO take the stump for
the Beers without compromising the
administration. While not doubling
his sincerity in the leasS, the best
friends of Mr.. Davis think that he
has made a mistake. Nothing can
be gained either for the Beers or for
ourselves by agit ting the matter.
The house has passed its substi-
tute for the senate bill providing
territorial government for Hawaii
The differences between the two bills
are not radical, and no trouble is
anticipate in quickly reaching an
agreement when the matter gets into
the hands Of a conference committee.

Washington Letter.

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 6, 19OO.-Pres-
ident Mckinley has extended his per-
sonal congratulations to every Re-
publican senator that voted for the
Porto Rico bill who has been in the
White house since that measure was
passed by the senate, and added bis
belief that public sentiment would
endorse the bill when it's workings
are more fully comprehended. The
Republican leaders of the house have
no doubt that tn bill will be sent to
the president substantially as it
pa4Sed the senate
The general publican sentiment
towards Admiral Dewey's announce.
ment OF his candidacy for the presi-
dency is that of sympathy for the
admiral, who Is believed to have al
lowed himself to be persuaded into
doing a foolish thing by an ambitious
wife and q scheming brother in law.
John r. Mclean, his brother in law,
is generally understood to have been
in sympathy with the movement en-
gineered by exSenators German and
Hill and other eastern Democrats to
defeat Mr.. Bryan in the Democratic
convention, and it looks as though
they intended trying to use Dewey to
do it, and IN the event of failure to
make Dewey an independent candi-
date. Republicans regard the renom-
nation and reelection of President
Mckinley AS so certain that they are
not seriously concerning themselves
about other candidates.
Solicitor-General Richards has filed
brief in the United States supreme
court against the application for a
writ Of habeas corpus for a native of
Porto Rico who was convicted of IL
legal voting by one of the military
courts on the island, which strongly
presents the legal position of the ad-
ministration, that the constitution
cannot be extended to new territory
without an act of congress, and that
consequently the United States su-
preme court has no jurisdiction over
the case presented.

af., for the purpose Of electing two
delegates aud two alternates to the
Republican National convention 20
be held in Philadelp hia, June 10,
1900, and to transact such other
business as may come before the con-
ventlon.
Special attention is called to the
unit basis Of representation as di-
rected by resolutions adopted at the
last congressional convention, which

Resolved, that the Republican
Congressional committee OF the Sec

that all congressional delegates be
selected by county conventions
called for that purpose, instead of by
Assembly district conventions. )"

each county is entitled was fixed at

A QUIET ELECTION.
Light Vote PoIIed and Very Little In
terest Shown-Mayor CRUDE Again
Elected by an Increased
Majority

AS was to be expected, the NUM-
cipal election last Tuesday resulted in
the success of the entire Democratic
ticket and for the most part of the
Democratic ward nominees. It was
about the quietest election ever held
here and no particular interest was
apparent on the surface. One of the
lightest votes in recent years-only
1867 for the head of the ticket-was
polled.
The handsome majority of 715 given
to Mayor II G. CRUDE well attests his
popularity and must be evidence that
the people are satisfied with his con-
duct of the city's business. Last year
his majority was 449.
The Republicans came out of the
election with one supervisor, two al
dermen and two school commissioners.
In the First ward M. H. Gaebler was
again chosen to represent his constit-
uents on the county board, defeating
Charles LANCE by 81 majority. In
the Second ward battle royal was
waged over the Offices Of alderman
and school commissioner, the present
efficient incumbents, Herman Vert
heimer and w. G. Pritzlaff, respect
lively, being successful by majorities
of II and 7. The Fourth ward elected
Frank M. Eaton school commissioner
he having more votes than his Dem
ocratic opponent, John L. O'Connor.
The greatest surprise of the day,
however, occurred in the Fifth ward,
where one of the leaders of the coun-
Gil, Alderman FL. G.. Mayer, was de-
feated for reelection by Edward d.
Stack, a young west side business
man, who made remarkable run and
scored q notable victory. Mr.. Stacks
majority was 33. Not only was he
solidly supported by the Republicans
of the ward, but the younger element
of the Democratic party worked for
his success and gave him liberal sup
port at the polls.
Following is the vote in detail:

MAYOR ROSES re election in Mil
waukee LAST Tuesday must be taken as
great personal victory, rather than
as q party triumph. Practically all
the papers OF the city save The Jour
nal were against him, which no doubt
tended somewhat to lessen his
plurality. Where he was most strong,
however, was among the business
men and the younger voters, who
recognized the mayors patriotism
for his city and his efforts to bring
her fame upon every favorable occa-
sion. And then the sulking of Baum
gaertner and his followers two years
ago when he failed of the nomination
was remembered and Republicans
in solid phalanxes cast their votes
against their part candidate without
the slightest conjunction.

The impression seems to be gaining
ground that Governor Scofeid will
finally consent to a third nomina
ton. 1t is understood that his close
friends and trusted lieutenants stand
ready to aid him in securing the
prize. While the governor during his
second term has made a record
that has never been excelled In this
state, it is very doubtful if the Re
publican party in general will look
with favor upon his entering the field
again. Southern Wisconsin should
furnish the candidate this year.
