The time is nearly al hand for another
election Of q. S. Senator from our
STATE and there being no man in Wiscon-
sin better qualified in every respect than
[. o. Howe TO fill again that most hon
orabe and highly important Office, We
only repeat our long held and oft express
sed desire to have him reelected and If
| possible by unanimous vote OF the
| Wisconsin Legislature sooa to meet at Ma
olson. The Racine dIcOcGte speaks our
mind better than we can express 1t our
selves in the following:

ifdorse the position taken by this
gentleman in relation to the payment of
Southern claims. and other questions OF
comparatively minor Importance. it is an
undeniable fact that he has as clear re-
cord as any man in public life, without a
single exception. We do indorse his can
did outspoken honesty Of purpose. One
of the strongest possible reasons for ad
vocating his reelection is because we can
always know Just where to find him on
all leading questions, no matter what
the pressure brought to bear from any
quarter may be. Wisconsin people ought
to be in a condition to appreciate such
incorruptible honesty and answering f.
deity to sound principles.


1t is Of the utmost Importance to have
a representative who votes right. Sena-
tor Howe not only votes in accordance
with the wishes Of an overwhelming ma
io:ity Of his constituents, but In addition
to that. there arc few men in public life
who exert so great an influence upon
others as he does. Senator Howe, not
only enjoys the confidence of his constitu-
ents. his party, and his home acqualntan-
ces; but he enjoys the perfect confidence
Of all who know him, whether publicly
or privately in the United States. He is
doing, and ca2 do more than almost any
other man in the West, ard is certainly
capable of accomplishing more than Is
possible for any other man, not in public
life. for Wisconsin. His worst political
enemies do not nor can they raise any
sound reason for opposing him, other
than that he is q good Republican. Al
though faithful to his party he is not,
properly speaking, ali unrelenting parti-
san.


As genuine statesmen, he has few
equals and no superior in the nation
His rare judgment is we'll known to the
people, and We believe that if the ques-
ton could be submitted to a popular vote
he would receiYe the greatest majority Of
any candidate that ever came before the
reoplc of tEis State for election. What
ever others may think, we believe that
his services are too valuable to the people
Of this State to be dispensed with for at
least seven years from the 4th OF next
March. 1t is in the interest CT the peo-
pie that We urge his name. It is always
safe rule to let we'll enough alone, unless
something decidedly superior is offered.
It is impossible to improve upon the can
didate proposed. Any change whatever
can only be for the worse, As g State,
we cannot very well afford to try the dan
gerous experiment of change"

What John said was, that he didn't care
much for pumpkin pie; but that was after
he had eaten a whole one. 1t seemed to
him that mince would be better. The
feeling of boy toward pumpkin pie has
never been properly considered. There
is an air of festivity about its approach in
the fall The boy is willing to help pare
and cut up the pumpkin, and he watches
with the greatest interest the stirring-up
process and the pouring into the scalloped
crust. When the sweet SAVIOR of the bak-
ing reaches his nostrils, he is filed with
he most delightful anticipations. Why
should he not be? He knows that for
months to come the buttery will contain
golden treasures, and that it will require
only slight ingenuity to get at them.
The fact is. the boy is as good in the but
terry as in any part of farming. His elders
say that the boy is always hungry; but
that is very coarse way to put it. He has
only recently come to a world that 10 full
OF good things 10 eat, and there is, on the
whole, very short time in which to eat
them; at least he is told, among the first
| information he receives, that life is short.


Life being brief, and pie and the like
fleetlng, he very soon decides upon an


active campaign. 1t may be an old story


to people who have been eating for forty


or fifty years, but it is different with a be-


ginner. He takes the thick and the thin


as it comes, as in pie, for instance. Some


people do make them very thin. knew


a place where they were no thicker than a


poor mans plaster; they were spread so
thin on the crust that they were better
fitted to draw out hunger than to satisfy
it. They used to be made up by the great
| oven full and kent in the drv cellar


where they were hardenedland dried to q
toughness you would hardly believe. This
was long time ago, and they make the
pumpkin pie in the country better now, or
the race of boys would have been so dis
couraged that l think they would have
stopped coming into the world.-C. d.

CHICAGO, August 16.-A letter from Red Bird, small town in Monroe County, Ill.,, gives thrilling account of the escape from it's keepers of the rhinoceros belonging to Warner 6 Co.'S menagerie and circus on the occasion of its being brought into the ring for the first time. The snowman had pre- pared the animal for the exhibition in the ring by attaching to ring in its nose two strong wire ropes, and twentY-four men were deemed sufficient to control the beast, which submitted quietly to being led from the cage, but on entering the arena suddenly threw up its head, and, plunging madly to the right and left broke loose from the men and dashed forward through the tents. Its first victim was John Gillem, a canvass- man, who was knocked down, and, the beast tramped upon his breast, he was killed instantly. It next ran It's nose against Martin Ready, another CANVASS man, striking him in the stomach and rip ping out his bowels, killing him.

Dashing into the museum tent it smashed all the curiosities, stampeding all the people in the vicinity, and rushed out through the side of the canvass into the street, finally bringing up in vacant house, the door of which stood open, and here the men succeeded in capturing the animal and getting it into a cage. The damage to the show was about 5000.
