With the exception of lowe,
Wisconsin and California Mr.. Bryan
carried practically all Of the western
states IN the above list in 1896, and
in 1892 Cleveland got all but one of
the electoral votes in California,
one in North Dakota, one IN Ohio,
besides all Of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin and live in, Michigan Thus
you see it il very easy to figure out
a victory forMr. Bryan without the
aid or New York, and ii is not SO
certain that that state will not cast
its 80 votes for the Democratic
ticket, inasmuch as it is a very
doubtful state and has been in the
habit of voting the Democratic
ticket quite often, having elected a
full Democratic ticket two years
ago, with the exception of Cover
0nor. New Jersey, which has not
. been included in the above, also
cast its u votes for the Democratic
ticket in 1892. There will be 1873
votes in the electoral college and
I 0tbe man who gets 242 of themwill
be the next president OF the United
States. Let us not be too certain
who it will be.

The liquor traffic is a soulless
monopoly, is the greatest foe to the
laboring class aud ever present
menace to their homes.
The state must look after this
whisky business. 1t has become too
strong to be handled by local com.
muhities; too inso,ent to brock re-
straint, and too devilish to pay any
attennon to the prayers of the good
or the weak. Nothing but the
strong arm Of tile law will have any
power to restrain the business.
Rum not only destroys the mo-
ductye power OF drGukards, 1t Grip.

whole community The traffic
leyics a tax upon US ALL He wastes
while We try TO save. He blights
and blasts while other men are try

who are forced to labor when they
ought to be at play or at school,
are the slaves of the deyilish en-
gineery of the saloon.

in the Shops.

The University Extension Division
of the University of Wisconsin com.
menced work with its first regular
class in a shop in the Filler StowelI
plant in Milwaukee last March. Mr.
Thomas j. Neacy, the general man.
ager of the plant, is enthusiastic IN
commenting the work done i'm the
class. In describing this work for =
newspaper reporter he said: Glasses
are held in the shops at stated inter-
walls in mechanical courses, one day
being given to one subject, and al
other given to another course The
instructors from the University Ex-

blackboard and illustrate as much as
does the teacher in the school room.
These instructors are the men who
have been teaching individual mem
bers of the class by correspondence
By means of the classes, the teacher
has an opportunity to come in per-
sonal contact with his pupils, and ex-
amines them and knows exactly the
progress of each. The pupils are able,
by this method. to PROFOUND and an
swer questions, and get a far clearer
idea of what they are trying to do
than by the long distance style Of con-
tact which is the one in use in the
ordinary commercial correspondence
schools Mr.. Neacy adds to his state
ment the following which is drawn
from an extended practical experience
as manager of a large plant:
"a young man working in a shop
or manufacturing institution of any

hands. Before he is competent to
handle others or even attain a high
degree of proficiency as a mechanic or
engineer he must have a little train

unravel some of these perplexing
problems which constantly arise in
this work. Then to he properly
finished, he should take course di-
