RACINE, July 9, 1910.
Mr.. G.. Lat. am Sholes.

VAis " ALotA Oil SuOICSs
Sir,-ln your paper Of the 7th inst, i
find an article under the head Of editorial.
censuring me as clerk Of the board Of coun-
ty commissioners, for sending the list of
unredeemed lands to Madison, for publica-
ton, instead of sending them 10 Southport.
In the article alluded 10, you say that your
paper came out but one day a ter the date,
and, perhaps, after the mailing Of the above
mentioned list. Now, sir, if you will be
so good as to examine the Wisconsin En-
quirer Of the 17th June, you will perceive
that the editor acknowledges the receiptof
the list, and gives its extreme length, as a
reason why it did not appear in that nun.
Der. Thus, you see, that it must have
been mailed more than one day previous
TO the appearance of your paper.
With regard to my knowled &c Of the fact,
that your paper was 10 appear on the 10th
June, can assure you, most seriously,
you are mistaken. And will ask you if
you recollect a conversation between Mr.
James and yourself, when you were last at
Racine, in regard 10 the issuing Of your
paper? Did you not say at that time,
(which was but two or three weeks previ,
Gus 10 the publication of the list at Madi-
SOM that it was very doubtful when your
paper would be published Did you, by
your conversation, at that time, wish 10
convey the idea, that your paper would be
forthcoming on the 16th2 And | ask YOU
if it was understood at Southport, even
eight or ten days previous 10 the publica.
ton of the Telegraph, that il was to appear
on the 10Th.
The law, in this instance, has not been
"iesignedly nfringed," and have get to
learn that the Law has been infrnged, by
my sending the list TO Madison, either in
tentionally or otherwise. Was there pa
per printed an Racine county, at the time
when the law says unredeemed land shall
be published
| | know, Sir, that between the citizens Of
Racine, and Southport, there is feeling,
not so friendly, perhaps, as it should be;
and from that circumstance, perhaps, YOU
thought | would rather pa,ronizc any other
| paper than yours. Such is not the fact
have no feelings untriendly to you, your
paper, or your town. 1t is natural that
should, to a certain extent, imbibe the feel
ings, and prejudioes Of my associates; but
| hope, not TO such an extent as to neglect
my duty.
Before YOU ccnsurc me second time,
hope you will be convinced that am cen.
surable, and when ] am in fault, "lav on
McDutt" Yours respectfully,
|. RAMSDELL.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The great and all absorbing subject now before the
people of the United States, is the approaching pre-
sidental election. In many of our exchange papers
from abroad, it is difficult to find an item of news
disconnected from the politics of the day. The
gies of the American press, seem almost wholly di-
rected TO the great question at issue. The cleo
tiOns in some Of the statesare now at hand-that Of
Louisiana past the result of which will probably
be received in for next paper, sufficiently
determine the political complexion of that state.
AS readers unquestionaby feel deep interest in
tire presidential contest, we shall endeavor TO give
impartial summary of the results in the several
states, as the elections shall transpire.

EXECUTION OF STONE.

John Stone the murderer of Lucretia Thompson
executed at Chicago the 9th inst. His body
after execution given over to the physicians dur
dissection The display had on the occasion is de-
serving of notice. The prisoner was taken from the
place of his confinement, habited in a white dress,
placed i'm q carriage drawn by four horses, and drove
in grand procession three miles cut of the city, to
the place of execution on the open prairie. Two
hundred horsemen, armed cap-a-pie neighing
steeds, with all the pump and circumstance of glo
rions war;" and one hundred footmen escorted him,
to the place assigned him for taking his leave of The
world Thousands of all ages, sexes, and conditions
crowded around with eager curiosity, TO see the VIC
tim die. There was the youth and the maiden, the
father and the son, the mother and the daughter,
mingled in one continuous ihrong gazing with in
tense interest, this most interesting scene. The
last act of the drama approached-ihe prisoner re-
manned firm and unmoved n stole philosopher
Socrates drank not the fatal hemock with more APP
parent resignation. The drop fell-he prisoner
leaped into eternity Vengeance was now satialed
the multitude had toasted their curiosity to their
full satisfaction.
We are not among the number, who disposed
question the Justice of Stones fIte he url-
quesionably murderer, and such deserved to die;
but the manner in which this great holiday of his
ecuton got up we beg leave to doubt its propri-
ETY.. The effect OF public executions, conducted with
ceremony and display, we believe to be decidedly
injurious to public morals and we doubt not, that
many thoughtless. hardened young man, left the
scene of Stones execution with bis wicked propen-
sites eng,hened-imagining il heroic die, a

The administration OF the Pompes fune-
bres is now preparing the coffin which is
to receive at st. Helena the mortal remains
of Napoleon. 1t is to be Of solid ebony,
in the shape of the ancient sarcophagi,
and large enough to enclose the collins in
which the Emperor lies at St. Helena, SO
that his ashes may not be disturbed. The
funeral pail is in velvet, strewed with gold
bees, bordered with broad band Of ermine;
at each corner is to be placed an eagle,
embroidered in gold, and surmounted with
the imperial crown.
A Point to be Decided-In a case tried
in one of the Now York courts a day or
two ago, the Chief Justice remarked that
''if married woman has good proof that
her husband is dead, she may marry again,
and if her husband turns out TO be alive
and returns, she undoubtedly would not be
guilty of bigamy, because the guilty intent
would be wanting; but which husband
would be entitled to her would be matter
of doubt"

In publishing the suboined communication, we
cannot forbear saying word two further in rela
lion 10 the matter referred to in it. If at any time,
in onr remarks injustice has been done to ndivid
nal we are perfectly willing, when onvinced Oft, to
make all reparation in our power; and even If the
Injustice should be the injustice only of publishing
facts, we are yet willing that the aggreved should
be heard in his dc fence We trust, if there any who
have taken interest enough in the matter to waste
thought upon way the other, that this letter
of MIR. Ramsdell, may have the effect to free him
from all mputation: us, however, it is far from be-
ing entirely satisfactory. In the first place, why
could not the time at which the document was mail
ed have been stated: the idea is INTENDED to be
vcyed, its receipt was noticed in the Madison pa
per of the 18th June, that it of necessity been
mailed some time previously. 1t does not, however,
require any very great length of time for communi
cations TO reach Madison, and whilst perhaps it is too
much TO say that it was mailed late the 18th.
yethe fact of IFS not being published in the Enqui
rer 17th when it was necessary comply with
the acquisitions of the law, that it should be- is evil
denCe that it was received there at late day, and
could not have been mailed long time before; but
little more Than one day previous to the appearance
Of the paper here. AS regards the absence of know
ledge that the paper would be issued here on the
10TH it seems to us that it resulted not much from
of for acquiring the in Formations, from
lack of disposition to do it, and the conversation
alluded to, with Mr.. james, could have been of no
importance, as, although we do not recokect the
act time, it must have been had some fourteen six
teen days previous to the issuing of the paper when
under the circumstances, we could have known but
little definite about but say positively, that
it was known here tea days previously TO its being
issued that the paper would appear at fhe time it did,
and had any definite information on the subject been
desired it could have been given that length of time
in advance. Perhaps it will be sufficient answer
TO the question: WAS there paper printed in Racine
county nj the time when the law says unreedeemed
lands shall be pubshed?' to say that two numbers
of a paper printed in Racine county made their APP
oeorance before the unreedeemed lands were pub
lished a, Madison and such being the fact if the law
could not be complied with at home. how near has
it been abroad
We do not wish any mputation 10 rest where il is
not deserved and shall be perfectly satisfied fthe
letter of Mr.. Ramsdeh shall clear him of all blame
in the premises at the time seems to u.s. as il
is matter of general interest to the county that
such things should be confined in it, il would have
been worth while to have incurred little inconye
