The Next Congress.

The present Republican majority in
the national House Of Representative
is Al, the Republican members number
ing 202, and the Democrats 155. The
next house will contain % more mem
bers than the present, as the new
appOrtiOnment based on the census
Of 1900 has gone into effect. Demo
cratic rainbow chaSers, who are figur-
ing that the next House will be Demo
cratic, assert that the Republicans will
carry only 176 Congressional districts,
while the Democrats will carry 211.
The Republican States in which the
Democrats assert that they expect to
make gains, and the gains which they
say that they expect to make are as
follows: California, 2; Connecticut, /;
Delaware, l. Indiana, 2; Iowa, ,; Kan
sas, 8; Maryland, 4; Massachusetts, /;
Michigan, 4; Minnesota, 2; New Jersey,
/: New York, 6; Ohio, 2; Pennsylvania,
4; Utah, /; West Virginia, 2; Wiscon-
sin. .. This is an Off-year. In off
years close districts often go against
the party in power. The Democratic
calculations start Off by claiming all
the close districts. But many Of the
districts which they claim are not close.
The Democratic estimate is one IN
which the wish is father to the thought.
It is bluff. The Democrats are great
at blufing. and do not confine their ac-
tivity in bluffing to off-years con-
seryative Republican estimate makes
the Republican membership of the next
Congress 2O4, against 49, for the Dom
ocrats. This would give the Republl-
cans a majority of %, which would be
enough for practical purposes. 1t Is
not at all unlikely that the Republican
majority in the next House will be
more than that; but Republican esti-
majors havea way of being moderate IN
their claims, and Of giving the facts
a chance to exceed their predictions.
What tangible basis is there for build
ing upon Democratic landslide in
November? None whatever. Yet 1t
would take n landslide, and landslide
of extensive proportions, to give the
Democrats the gains for which they
pretend to look in the approaching
election. -SIilwaukee Evening Wiscon-

Cemetery Work Is Stopped.

The government has been forced to stop
work on the old Fort Crawford military
cemetery near Prairie du Chen. The i'm
provements which had been planned came
TO sudden stop, when it was learned
that the historic ground was not govern
ment property, but belonged to the Law
Ior estate. Plans and specifications for
the improvements contemplated had been
drawn by Col G. E. Bolter of Chicago,
assistant quartermaster general, but
nothing will be done until the title to
the old cemetery is cleared. 1t has al
ways been supposed that the government
owned the property, but a letter received
from Washington says that the lots We're
patented to John Lawlor. Col. Bolter
has gone to Washington to investigate.

For 1850 and 1860 the amount is esti-
mated, while the figures for 1870 are in
currency and should be reduced one
fifth.
Now the recently issued bulletin for
1900 gives the value for 1899 as $4,739,-
1873 and if the census had been
taken last year it would no doubt have
conceded that the value of our agricul-
tural products was fully 100000, 1000.
That is more like it, but still far from

A Strong Position.

The only objection Republicans
would have to the bringing forward
of the tariff as the grand issue of the
next campaign would be that it would
make the fight too easy for them. The
object lesson of the past six years, as
compared with those of the preceding
four, would render very little of the
customary debate necessary. The tar
if is an issue whereon the Republican
party is too well fortified to make the
