So far as we have observed, there is but
one newspaper in the State that boldly and
openly opposes the enactment of the Maine
Liquor Law. That paper is published in
the city of Milwaukee. The conductors of
that paper seem to think that the manufac-
ture, traffic and drinking of intoxicating liq-
uors are constitutional prerogatives, and that
Legislative interference would be an invasion
of the liberties of the people, and an attempt
ed infracton of the great Magma Charta of
the Republic. Well, this objection is not Or
iginal; it has been made before and is now
being talked in localities all about. One
day last week man was seen leaning against
post cxpounding this very doctrine Of con-
stitutional rights, and loudly declaiming
against the Maine Law men for attempting
to procure the passage of law to take away
his liberties.

build the road must necessarily come from
capitalists abroad. Foreign capital is now
seeking investments in western roads, but to
inspire the confidence of capitalists, it's ne
cessary that the people where the road is
proposed to be built, should manifest an in
terest by subscribing a portion Of the stock
required. The instances are very rare where
foreign capital has offered to build road in
any Of the Western states, without any stock
subscriptions in the vicinity of the proposed
road.
70 estimate the value Of railroad stock in
the proposed Kenosha and Beloit rail road
it is fair to Institute comparisons with other
roads in the west. The Beloit and Madison
railroad, which is now being put under con
tract, cannot be regarded by any one &C.
quainted with the geographical position of
the country, and the channels of trade, as de-
sirable location for road, as road run
ming from this place to Rock River. A
large amount of the bonds of the Beloit and
Madison road, bearing seven per cent. inter
est have recently been negotiated in New
York city at ninety-five cents, and it is stated
in the Beloit Journal that an offer is now
made for 100000 more of the bonds at the
same prices, but the company feel confident
the residue of the bonds can be disposed OF
at par On the above mentioned road, there
has not yet been spade struck into the
ground, or any beginning of the work.
From this example the people may be ena-
bled to Judge of the value of stock in the
Kenosha and Beloit road, provided the peo-
pie who are directly interested take hold of
the matter in earnest, and manifest their con-
fdence in the enterprise by liberal sub
scription.
We have extended this article already be-
yond our intention; we had purposed to
show that if the people Of this county should
take stock in the road to the amount of
100000, and that should the stock be
worth not over so or 90 cents on the dollar,
the tax payers and land owners of the coun-
ty would nevertheless ultimately still be
gamers. If in the foregoing we have pre-
sented any statemenents unfairly we shall
cheerfully correct them or being apprised Of
our error. Our columns are open to a fair
discussion of the interests of the county, in
the matter under consideration.

The idea Of connecting Great Britain and the
United States by telegraph, is revived in London
on grand scale. The proposition is to extend
the line from Scotland by way of the Orkney,
Shetland and Farce Islands to Iceland, and thence
to Greenland, thence across Davis Straits to Lab
rador and Quebec The entire length of the line
will be $500 miles and the submarine portion
Of it from 400 to l 500. From the Shetland
Islands il is proposed to carry branch to Bergen,
in Norwsy. connecting it there with line to
Christiana, Stockholm. Gottenburg and Copenha-
gen; from Stockholm line may easily cross the
Gulf of Bothnia TO ST. Petersburgh. The whole
expense of this great International work is csti-
mated considerably below $500 900.

TAX LIST.

1t was expected by SOME that the printing
of the list of lands returned for unpaid taxes
would be let out 70 the lowest bidder. The
Treasurer DEEMS himself responsible by re-
quiremept of aw for the publication of the
list. The right of any county tribunal to in
terfere in matters which are specifically fixed
by law, will not now be discussed. But for
the purpose of removing every just cause OF
complaint on the part of the people and tax
payers of the county, it is distinctly under
stood that the Board of Supervisors may al
low the Kcnosha Telegraph Office for print
ing the tax LIST, what they deem right and
proper. No controversy with the Board OF
Supervisors, or the tax payers of the county
is desired, nor will any just occasion be Civ
en- for any.

THE LADIES, EAHR

Held at the Runals House, on Friday ey-
ening of last week, for the benefit of the poor,
passed Oft very agreeably and proftably.-
One hundred dollars, clear of expenses, were
realized during the evening. The Kenosha
Brass Band generously volunteered their SER
vices for the occasion, also the Glee Choir.
The music, both vocal and instrumental, adj
ded mitch to the pleasure and interest of the
occasion.
The committee to whom is committed the
business of distributing these charitable gifts
VIII, we doubt not, exercise judicious dis
elimination in their bestowment. It is not
always those who are the most ready and
willing to acknowledge their wants that are
the most deserving. Frequently the most
necessitious are those who are retiring and
modest and who suffer in secret extreme
privation and suffering rather than let the
world know that they are the objects of
charity. Public sentiment is so prone to
INK poverty with disgrace, and to exclude
the poor from the circles of " good society,""
that sensitive minds often bear in silence the
mlsfortunes of perjury and want. The hsto-
ry Of thousands W HI have lost caste in soce-
tly, in consequence Of being overtaken by the
miSfortunes Of poverty, is SO stern and truth
full that families possessed of the finer sus-
capabilities are stricken with terror when
threatened with the loss of property. And
when at last the realities of restitution come
they avoid, to the last extremely, any public
acknowledgement of their condition.
