VOTE FOR KOPP.

LILO I0PuUllCdA CdAulOdt0 lOI Uu0
office of district attorney is Mr..
Arthur w. Kopp of Platteville.
Mr.. Kopp is young man, but he is
not an unknown man. By dint of
his knowledge of the law, his per-
severance and honesty, he has al
ready made for himself reputa-
ton at the Grant County bar. The
office of district attorney is an ex-
ceedingly important one. 1t re-
quires such an enforcement of the
laws as will insure to each indivd-
ual security in life, liberty and the
enjoyment of property honestly
obtained; and, moreover, it in
wolves the exercise of good iudg-
ment and caution as will secure
these rights with no1greater outlay
of public funds than is necessary to
secure the end sought.
The grand jury has been practic-
ally abolished. The whole duty
formerly performed by fifteen men,
carefully selected and solemnly cal
led together for the purpose Of con-
sidering questions Of gravest i'm
portance has now been thrown up
on the district attorney alone. What
qualifications candidate for SO i'm
portant an Office should possess is
not easy to be laid down. The re-
sponsibility thrown upon the dis
trict attorney is greater and more
far-reaching in It's consequences
than that thrown upon any other
county officer. If it is sound con-
clusion that the judges and the
superintendent of schools should
be chosen at the elections in which
partisan politics are as far as posi-
BILE excluded, so that more attention
can be paid to the individual quail
fiications of the candidate, would it
not be well to include the office of
district attorney in the list? Such,
however is not the case, but the
voter cannot afford to overlook the
qualifications of the candidate, or
to weigh these qualifications to per-
form the duties of the office against
any expressed personal opinion or
wish or choice on the part of the
candidate as to who should be his
party's candidate for some position
on the ticket.
Mr.. Kopp, after some years as a
practising lawyer, has by his single
handed effort, ability and fidelity,
obtained the confidence of a large
number of clients who are willing
to entrust their private business to
his hands. He has shown himself
worthy Of the trust imposed, and in
SO doing he has shown himself
worthy of greater confidence and
that he may well be chosen the
guardian Of greater interests. The
voter who casts his ballot for Ar
thur w. Kopp as district attorney
may do so with the assurance that
he has cast his ballot for a man who
has already demonstrated his ability
to faithfully administer the trust
imposed.

London, Nov. 4.-The fall of Port
Arthur seems imminent. Detailed re-
ports of the operations against the
position indicate that the prolonged at
tack is nearing it's end, and that the
Japanese are now entering upon the
last stage of the memorable siege. For
the first time the Associated Press cor
respondent with General Nogi's army
has been permitted to send dispatches
direct from Port Arthur, and these
show that practically all the outlying
defenses are in the hands of the Japan
csc, who are sanguine of immediate;
victory. The armies of Oyama and
Kuropatkin still confront each other
along the Shakhe river, inactive except
for skirmishes and artillery exchanges.
st. Petersburg Feels Relieved.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg,
dated this morning at 1:25 o'clock,
says: There is scarcely yelled feel
ing of relief throughout st. Petersburg
that another day has passed without
bringing news of the fall of Port Ar
thur. There had been considerable
fear that the Japanese might push
home the final attack yesterday. 1t is
now felt that there may come another
period of respite. The authorities state
that they are without direct news from
Port Arthur, and every one is de-
pending upon foreign sources for It'd
ings Of the devoted garrison. .
Stoessel Reported To Be Wounded.
London, Nov. A dispatch to a

Status of the Dogger Bank Case.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 4, 20 a. H.
Negotiations regarding the North sea
court of inquiry have not yet been con-
cluded. The Associated Press is in
formed that the present position is as
follows: The terms of the draft Of the
treaty for the constitution Of the court
are under consideration by the en-
perOr, who may desire some modifica-
tons, in which case re-submissiOn of
the draft to London will, OF course, be
necessary; but the amendments, if any,
are not expected to be of Importance.
One of the points already agreed ON is
that Great Britain and Russia will
jointly propose that France and the
United States appoint high naval Of
tlcer as a member of the court, which
probably will sit in Paris.

has been put in a position to state
positively that it's dispatches from Che

to the effect that the Japanese battle
ship Yashima had been sunk by mine
off Dalny, have finally been officially
confirmed. The Japanese government;
has notified foreign governments of the
loss of the ship. This leaves Japan
with only four battleships. The
Yashima was the finest ship in the
Japanese navy. The Baltic fleet has
five battleships, and there are five in
harbor at Port Arthur. but their con-

A WARNING AGAINST APATHY.

Chairman Babcock of the Repub-
lican National Congressional Com
mittee sounded a note of warning
few days ago, against the charge
of apathy in the Congressional cam
paign. He pointed out that where
as all indications seem to promise a
sweeping Republican victory, and
yet lose the House Of Represen-
tatives-this through conditions
local to the Congress districts.
Chairman Babcock's warning was
addressed not only to Republicans,
but to the independent voters and
the former Gold Democrats who
have helped to elect Republican
Houses in times past. 1t is reason
able to assume, he thought, that
these voters would rally again to
the support of policies which their
votes in the past had helped to sus-
tain. There was additional ground
for their assumption in the fact
that some of those policies are yet
to be rounded out to fuller proper
tons and perfected and others to be
preserved from being tempered
with by unfriendly hands.
The warning of the Chairman of
the Congressional Committee was
directed chiefly against apathy and
Indifference. He had no reason to
assume that there had been any
change of political opinion among
these voters since the Congressional
election of two years ago. 1t was
reasonable to take it for granted
that the Gold Democrats who voted
for the Republican Representative
two years ago because he did not
want to take any chances on imper-
ling the existing financial standard,
would vote the same way this year,
when the Democratic party seems
astraddle Of the fence on the money
question the free silver action of
the resolution committee of the
convention on the one side, and
Judge Parker's gold telegram on
the other. He could take it fol-
granted that the voters who had
helped to elect House that passed
the present tariff law and were
realizing it's benefits, would vote
this year to sustain the party
which protects that law from the
onslaughts of free traders.
1t was easy to believe that the
men who had backed up Republi-
can Congress in framing the Philip
pines law, would still support the
laws they had helped to make and
would not align themselves with
those who would undo them; that
the voters who demanded the Pan
anna canal would not go against the
party that had brought about re-
alization Of their demands.
Indeed, it was because all these
assumptions seemed so reasonable

TIE sensational attack by Senator
Ranigan of Pawtucket on the Provi-
dence Journal last week in which
he intimated that collusion existed
between certain Journal employcs
and the gambling fraternity has nat
urally created much comment. i
would no doubt be very difficult iol
Senator BanIgan to prove that an,
one connected with the Journal ever
received money for paying strict at
tention to other matters and closing

possible that any man connected
with a paper so utterly respectable
as the Journal, would have any con-

this fact that the city editor of the
