existence. On a small

scale it is the famous log-cabin and hard cider campaign of 1840 foogbt over again, save that the public school takes the place of the issues before the people in the fight of the forties. Although the Democrats have imported the eloquent Roger Q. Mills and other outside speakers to discourse upon the tariff policy of the Republican majority in congress and other mundane matters, the fact remains that the Bennett law, or rather continued maintenance of the publie Icfiools of Wisconsin is the only real issue of the campaign. Aft through the state tens of thousand of Republicans have decorated the lapels of their coats with a buLton bearing a miniature impression of the United States flag and a country school house, while the Republican state comrrittee has formally adopted as its emblem a picture of a one story school house with a United States flag flying from the cupol%, the words ''District School" being over the front door, and on one side of the slanting roof the inscription: "The Little School House." Beneath this are the words

Stand by it!" The most striking spectacular feature of the campaign, however, has jet to come. During the next few weeks, three little girls in red, white and blue, respectively, will mount the rostrums most of the counties of Wisconsin and render a song of sixteen verses, with the refrain "Stand by the School House." Hundreds of thousands of copies of the same song are now being distributed, and it will be sung in stentorian tones atevfery Republican rally. On the other hand the Democrats are getting up clubs of inarching "Bad Boys" each club having a contingent of juvenile "Bad Boys for whose benefit a song with the title "When my pa is Governor" has been composed. The volume of sketches entitled "Peck's Bad Boy" is also being industriously distributed as campaign literature.

BIRCHELL DOOMED.

|«ni«ac«d (o b« on lb«14tb of Sovember. WOODSTOCK,8cptomber 30.—A rguments in the Birchell case closed late yesterday evening. The jury retired at 0:85 p. in. and were waiting with their verdict when the judge arrived in the court room at 11:25 p. m. Before the prisoner was removed ho called Detective Murray to his side and said ho was sorry for what his counsel had said against him, and he wished to say that he had been treated with the greatest consideration by that officer. At 11:27 the judge took his seat on the bench again. The counsel soou put in their appearance and the vast audlenco was as still as death for several minutes awaiting the arrival of the prisoner, whose life now hung in the balance. The prisoner was brought into court hnn Icuflod at 11:45, looking pale and nervous. As soon as ho arrived the jury were asked if they had agreed upon a verdict, aud replied, "We have." "What is your verdict?" asked Judge McMahmi. "Guilty," tli© foreman replied.

When asked if he had anything to sav why sentence should not be passed upon him, Birchell replied: "Simply, 1 am not guilty of murder."

The judge then said: "I fully concur with the verdict of the jury," and proceeded to pronounce sentence, which was that Birchall be taken to the county jail between the hours of 8 a- ni. and 6 p, m. on Friday, the 14th day of Novem ber, and be hanged by the ek until dead."

A Remarkable C«iu|iaign on Cream c:i«y. MILWAUKEE, Wis., September 30.—The er just, fair, nor right, political campaign now being fought in this city will go down into history as one of the usoBt remarkable of its kind in the one l.nndred and fourteen years of the

bill. This was opposed by Mr. Cockrell who said that the Senate was entitled to have some explanation of the conference report made and any attempt to force a vote without such explanation was neither just, fair, nor right. Mr. Aldricb said that he did not desire to force a vote on the question if any Senator desired to speak on it but there were no apparent indications that any Senator did so desire. Mr. Cockrell said that Mr. Mr. Carlisle desired to be heard on the question, but was somewhat indisposed to-day. Mr. Aidrich asked unanimonsconsent tohave 4 o'clock to-morrow fixed as the time for taking the vote. Mr. Cockrell objected to any cast iron rule for closing debate. Mr. Aidrich then gave notice that at 5:30 he would move for a recess till 8 o'clock this evening. Mr. Gray criticised the proposition and Mr. Aidrich defended it. Mr. Gray informed Mr. Aidrich that he would arrive at a vote a good deal sooner if he did not press his motion.

The conference report was laid aside informally without action. The conference report on the bill opening for settlement a portion of the Fort Randall military reservation in South Dakota was presented and agreed to. The concurrent resolution for the final adjournment to-morrow was presented and referred to the finance commtttee. The individual pension bills on the calendar were then taken up and passed (forty four in five minutes). After a short ex: ecutive session the senate adjourned, Mr. Aidrich stating that he would not ask for an evening session, as he was satisfied that a vote on the tariff conference report would be reached to-day.

Prominent Senators say the vote on the tariff bill will probably be taken about 5 o'clock this afternoon aad the bill will surely pass. Congress will adjourn tomorrow afternoon or Thursday. Friends of the shipping bills in the House are making an effort to have the committee on rul reports resolution setting a day for their consideration immediately after the reassembling of Congrees in December.

After a short timo devoted to morning business Carlisle took the floor in opposition to the tariff bill, criticising the various features and making a broad argument for lower rates of duties.

Envelope Combination Likely KO to

Piece*.

New YORK, September 30.—Reports have been current several days that a combination of envelope manufacturers formed about three years ago to adopt a uniform profitable scale of prices, was in danger of going to pieces. Trouble is said to be due to the want of good faith shown by certain manufacturers who have been cutting prices. The figures named by the combination insured profit of ten cents for every thousand envelopes sold. It is said within the last month it has become known that many inanufacturers are selling at reductions of fi_ve cents a thousand. The combination includes nearly all the largest houses in the envelope trade.

Work on the Xatoral Gas Line to ChiCAFFO. CHICAGO, September 30.—A dispatch from Valparaiso, Ind., says- Information has been received heie that orders have been given to suspend work on the Chicago natural gas line.

The work of stringing the pipe has been suspended, and the pipe is now being stacked up at the stations.

Inquiry of officials of the company in this city brought out a confirmation of the statement that work bad been stopped, but no information could be had as to the reason therefor.

There is a wide^#en game of chucb-a-luck going ou in OBP of the saloons across "Main street from ti|6 court house and almost in sight of tlje grand jury room, and there are poker games running on every hand. There isa keno outfit somewhere in the city and a North Sider who is known to be somewhat friendly to the game is thought to be in possession of the outfit. ttrepmH ions have aLso been made to open a game Qt hauward and in fact the game may nave been- ~ppened in orie'of the Main, sfcflfcei p»aOes and several games of poker afte rtadiung in an upst iirs-room near tf» Western Union Telegraph' Office.

In the Nstrth Side resorts the games are worked more openly even than up town, and no effort has been made to stop them. A Cincinnati traveling man is said to have carried away $1,800 from one of these places one night last week and that th# game was temporarily closed for want of funds. One of the Main street houses is closed ,and closed tight for fear that its,opening this time would precipitate a fight on gambling.

NKW YOEK, September 30.—William Waldorff A star's name seems to have dropped completely out of sight in connection with the mayoralty of this city. When first mentioned three months ago it was received with enthusiasm. The biggest property holder of New York was thought just the man to conduct the affairs of the city for the welfare of all property owners. It is said the occasion

was his own coldness and indifference. Persons of position in the community who wrote him on the subject got no replies, or in some cases the mere formal announcement of the receipt of their epistles signed by the secretary.

I Political Pieknps.

The Independents have rented Champer's hall and on Thursday night will have a Sixth ward mass meetiug. J. P. Harrali and others will hold forth. ,,

At Sandford last night was held an 'Independent" meeting, or at least a meeting which was addressed by several candidates on the Independent ticket

Both Republican and Democratic headquarters will be Jcept open at night from now on to election, and both committees will keep files of their political journals for the entertainment and instruction of, their visitors. 1

Said an old citizen this morning: "Whatever the result of the election may be I hope whoever succeeds to the shrievalty will institute anew order of things in regard to releasing prisoners from jail confinement on straw bond or no bond atalL One thing that has contributed to an increase- of misdemeanors and offenses in this community has been the ease with which orisoners arrested by the police have been turned out ori the streets upon the solicitation of their attorneys, the order of the mayor, justice and what not, without the sanction of reason or law. How frequently prisonera, serving time in jail, have been drilled out to elections and turned loose if they voted just the right ticket, no one can say but it has been done many times. Tfie new election law, however, will knock this outrage higher than Gilroy's kite, and it will come none too Eoon."

Katie Hines Assnnlted,

The notorious Katie Hines was at tacked the alley back of James Sullivan's house, at 821 North Third street, late yesterday afternoon, by John Zolan and Joe Gallagher, two young men of the North side, who were under tho influence of liquor. Mrs. Hines ran into Sullivan's house for protection, followed by her assailants. Zolan seemed to be the main aggressor. He threw tho woman on the floor in the back room of Sullivan's house. Mrs. Sullivan entered at the moment and interfered. Zolan knocked her down and then administered the same treatment to hen daughter. By this time Mrs. Hines had regained her feet and tho three woinen managed to eject Zola* from tho "house." ~Hi£ companion had left voluntarily. The two were arrested a few minutes later by Patrolman O'DonnelK

The jury in the case of Thomas Newhouse vs. tho Western Union Telegraph company for damages, for the improper delivery of a telegram informing Mr. Ncwhouse of the dangerous illness of his mother, went out yesterday afternoon. This morning they returned a special finding of facts, giving plaintiff $400. In case this finding is adjudged by the court to be consistent with the law it will stand, otherwise, not. When the judge's ultimatum will be pronounced remains to b'o seen: The counsel: Hamill and Stunkard, for plaintiff, August Mason, of Indianapolis, for defense.

Resigned His Position.

Charles Woods, who has officiated as night mailing clerk at the postoffice has tendered his resignation and left last night for St. Joseph, Mo, which he will make his headquarters as commercial traveller for a large furniture'factory. Mr. Wood's successor has not yet been selected.

Yates' London cable to the Tribune says: Experiments with armor plates just concluded at Annapolis by the United States government, gave results that must cause us serious uneasiness. The fact is, we are always so obstinate-and slow to move we are in a chronic state of backwardness, compared with the rest of the world. We clung to the muzzle loading ordinance in the most pig-eyed manner. It took a lot of reviving oefore our war department could be induced to entertain the idea of a magazine rifle, and now the best armor plate on the English plan that Sheffield can produce are easily destroyed by shots which fail even to crack French plate. Previous experiuienta in France, Italy, Sweden and elsewhere have shown the incontestible superiority of all steel plates over the compound, yet we go on clothing our battle ships with weaker ones.

The children of Prince Albert, of Prussia, are being taught to use their hands as well as their brains. Their father is well versed in the mysteries of bookbinding, as was Emperor Frederick in carpentering, and the two elder sons of Prince Albert have learned enough masonry to be able to build a small pavillion under the proper superintendence of a vounger brother who is to bo joiner. Prince Albert takes more interest in this part of his son's education than any other.
