SERVING APPRENTICESHIP FOR A WIFE.
The reader may remember that he Dow
ager Countess Of Westmoreland was one
Of the titled personages who visited the
United States last summer. A curious an
ocdo,e is related Of her marriage She
was the only daughter Of the eminent and
immensely wealthy banker, Child, who
tfourished in London about the time Of the
French Revolution. When he died, he
made n will, leaving all his property 10 his
daughter on condition that if she married,
she should marry a mechanic, (he COM
menccd life himself as brewer who had
served a regular apprenticeship Of seven
years at his trade. If she married any
other person, the whole estate was to
ALLEVIATE from her and her heirs. Tho then
young Earl Of Wes,moreland met her by
chance at ball given on some public oc-
casion by the Lord Mayor. He resolved
if she was willing, 20 marry her and on
her conserving to wait seven years he
bound himself apprentice TO a Mr.. Pol
lock, highly respectable saddler in Pic
cadilly, and actually learnt the trade. He
served his seven years, and exhibited a
saddle which he made to the entire salts
faction Of the executors under the will, and
gave title for fortune; Miss Child became
a Countess, and the mechanics apprentice
one Of the wealthiest Earls Of England

SCHOOL LAw.-The amendment to the school
law passed by the legislature last winter, has had
the effect to render nugatory the law, far the
building of school houses is concerned. How such
an oversight could have been committed by the le
gisature, especially by those who professedly
the friends of common schools, we are at loss to
conceive. The section to which we refer and which
porated in the town government law reads as fol-
lows:-
"No school district shall have power to levy
tax of more than two and a half mills on the dollar
the assessment roll, any law to the contrary not
outstanding"
This clause of the law we are informed has oc-
casioned much embarrassment the present season,
in many of the school districts in this county, parti
cuary those districts which were intending to build
school houses the present year. The restrictions to
two and a half mills on the dollar, renders it i'm
practicable for any of the districts to levy tax su
fcient TO build a school house, as it allows only
from twenty five to forty dollars to be raised in the
several districts, according to their respective
sessed valuations The act scarcely admits the raj
sing of one fourth of the amount necessary in the
several districts which is requisite for the building
Of school house. 1t is unfortunate that the cause
OF education should be thus impeded by this unwse
restriction in the school act. Incalcuable injustice
is done to the rising generation by this law, which
operates virtual prohibition to the erection of
school houses.

THE TELEGRAPH.
SOUTHPORT, WIS, MAY 10, 1912.

At no period during the settlement of this Terri
tory, has the scarcity Of money been more severe
ly felt among all classes of the people than at the
present. Provisions and the common necessaries
of life are cheap and abundant, but there is at this
time much embarrassment among the people arising
from the want of money; the amount of the circu-
lating medium, is entirely insufficient to carry
the business transactions of the people. This con-
ditlon of pecunlary embarrassment is by no means
confined to Wisconsin; the whole country is labor
ing under depression in the money market The
people are very generally inquirng into the cause
which have led the present state of affairs. nor will
there be any installing the true reasons No eff
fecs were eve. more clearly traced to their egit-
mate causes, than the present connection between
hard times and privileged banking institutions. -
The banks undertook to furnish the people with a
currency-lcgislatures sanction their schemes, and
aided them by special enactment to carry out the.
purposes-many of the banks have turned out to
be institutions of licenced fraud-the people have
been deceived and defrauJed, snd hence all suffer
more less from the consequences The people
of this Territory have Suffered much from this
source; they have been swndlcd out of thousa nds
of dollars, through the agency of irresponsible
banking institutions, They will learn from the
history Of the past to guard in future against like
calarity. They will adopt their true interests, by
refusing hereafter to dispose of their surplus produce
for any other currency than specie its equivalent.

RHODE IsLAND.-The result of the election in
Rhode Island has turned out widely different from
what either party anticipated. There appears to
have been great falling off among the friends of
the Free Suffrage, 90 irregular" party since the
adoption of their Constitution. In twenty one CT
ties and towns where the constitution of the free
suffrage party received 1,906 votes, their candi
date for Governor at the last election received but
5,758. There were over 1000 more votes given to
the Irregular candidates in the State, than were
given to the free suffrage candidates.

We learn from the Milwaukee Sentinel that it is
contemplated to establish Agricultural paper at
Milwaukee. While we admire the spirit of the
friends of Agriculture at Milwaukee, we can but
express fears that the population of Terri
tory is yet small to sustain agricultural pa
per. The population of Wisconsin has not yet
reached in point of numbers, that contained in an
ordinary sized county in western New-York. tits
hardly supposed that single county in Western
New-York, would be able to support journal de-
voted entirely to agriculture. The "Union Agri-
culturst," an ably conducted paper published at
Chicago, if mistake not, is the only agricultural
paper published in Illinois 1t has considerable
circulation in this Territory, and in Iowa. yet with
this wide and extended field of operation, it is but
barely supported. Still it is paper admirably adap-
led to the West, and industriously edited. We
feel some diffidence in making these remarks, lest
a wrong construction should be put upon our mo-
tives. 1t may be said by some that the wish to
foresta public sentiment, by predudicing the far
of this section of the country against the es-
Enlistment of the contemplated agricultural paper.
If an agricultural paper can be sustained in this
Territory, we shall be happily disappointed, and
shall be ready to confess that we have misjudged
the present condition of things. Racine county
will not be behind in lending assistance the sup
port of an agricultural paper in this Territory,
whenever the proper time arrives; and the farmers
of this county will as cordially unte to sustain
paper of that character at Milwaukee as at any 9TH
er town in the Territory.
