Judge E e. Chase, of Bluehili, will
be re elected to the governors coun-

There is expressed by members OF
the Senate the greatest satisfaction at
the removal of all doubt as to the re
election of Senator Spooner. Not
withstanding that there was friction
between the Wisconsin senators
throughout the recent campaign, and
that the senator has never pledged
himself to support the theories OF
Governor LaFollette, the Wisconsin
legislature will include, on joint ballot,
riaety- one votes pledged to Mr..
Spooner out of a total of 105 replbli-
can members. Another peculiar feat
ure of the situation rests in the fact
that at one time the senator declined
to stand again, and subsequently re-
considered his declination. He is re-
gsrded as tower OF strength to the
republicans in every sharp debate.

A GOOD USE FOR SUNDAY.

From the New York Times.
 It would be a good thing for all conA cerned If the house and the senate would permanently adopt the plan experimented with in the house last week and relegate to Sunday all proceedings of a memorial nature.
 The custom that has prevailed hereto fore Is at once wasteful of time and not especially respectful to the dead On the death of a member of either house the fact is announced and the body adjourns. Then a day Is fixed for the delivery of speeches concerning the deceased mem- Der, and between the two occasions a full day or sometimes two days must be lost for the transaction of business In congress of 447 members, the average length of whose sessions Is less than six months In year, 1t will be seen that the possible loss of time through these peculiar memorial proceedings is less than six months In a year, 1t will be seen that the possible loss of time through these peculiar memorial proceedings Is very great. It is obviously absurd for If member has been really a good leg islator he would prefer that his death should not be. made the occasion of inter- rupting business; If he has been only an ordinary me nber the interruption is the less excusable.
 We have said that the exercises are not always especially respectful to the dead. Sometimes the audience Is very small and not very attentive. Sometimes the ad- dresses are extremely perfunctory, and are pitifully padded with mortuary quo- tations as musty as the graves of the long departed. At other times the audi ence is considerable and sincerely inter- 1 ested and the addresses are models of simplicity, sincerity and good taste. This class of exercises, howevef, will be held with quite as much appropriateness on Sunday and with the chance that those
 in Washington really desirous to attend them will be able to do so.
