He v. Dr. Newton is a member of
the Virginia Conference.
Rev. Dr. Beauchamp, who has just \
arrived from Louisville, where he
served four years, is spending moat :
of his time shaking hands with old-!
friends and acquaintances. Before j

Though just forty,- Dr, Beauchamp
is old in wisdom and experience, He
is not wise enough/ however, to bo :
/
able to forecast positively what the
Bishop is going to do with him.

MILWAUKEE, W18„ Nov. 10,— ,
That Victor U Berger, the first So.
clttlist elected to the United States
Congress, has no expectation of rev
olutionizing the country, at leaat not
at" once, is the aubatanee of a state
ment he issued here to-day He
claimed the honor, however, of being
the lirst real representative of the
laboring class.
"We have Had union men in Con*
grer.s, good men, too,” Berger said,
"but because they have allied them*
selves with one or the other of the
capitalist parties they have lost theft
individuality, and, as I believe, their
usefulness. I represent the social
Democratic party. and, therefore, *
will stand aloof from all entangle
ments.
"That docs not' mean, however, that
I always shall be In opposition to of
against the government. 1 shall re
serve the right to consider all meas
ures from the viewpoint of the work
ingman. and vote according aa that
class will bo affected.”
All doubt as to Berger's election
was set at rest to-day when com*
