THE DANNAN MONUMENT.

The daughters of Temperance of this city aided
by other benevolent persons, have founded a
CLONE" for Orphan and destitute children. The
location selected and partially paid for may be
madcone ofthe most beautiful healthy, and agree
able in the State. They need funds to complete
payments on the land, and properly establish and
start the enterprise. 1t is children III just such
condition Emanuel Dannan that they con-
template helping to an asylum and home We
put it to the good sense of the people of Milwau-
kee and of the whole State, if it would not be a
vastly better application of the 'Dannan Monu-
ment Fund" to aid in this work, than to erect a
scnseless pile of brick and marble. 1t does seem
in this common sense and utilitarian age, when
there are so many thousands suffering for food
and raiment, an insult to so lock up funds. Bet
ter build barn, to which the destitute and orph-
ans may creep sliivering, from the winters blast,
than erect a cold marble shaft, which, instead of
help, comfort, or protection, shall seem only an
added aggravation to sufferings already great
Think of the teachings of marble monument to
empty stomachs and frozen feet With good
home comfortable food and rament and compe-
ter teachers, more good may be done in one day
than n marble monument will accomplish in a
thousand years.

Dy- Our State Constitution says, that after the
frat election under it for members of the Legisla-
tnre, Senators shall be elected for a term of tlco
years. The law Of apportionmcnt passed by the
Legislature year before last provided, that in three
districts, viz the south half of Rock Co., the
south half of Waukeshn, and Washington county,
the Senators to be first elected under the appor-
tionment should hold but one year. The body
having been increased six in number and the Con-
stituton requiring one half to so out OF office eve
~ year, this was necessary to divide the body as
required. In these districts new members were
last fall elected viz L 2. Harvey, IN Rock Jas
RcymsFt. 10 Waakesha, and Balthus Mantz, IN
Washington, The seats of the whole of them VIII
be contested, says the Madison Journal, by the
old incumbents, who claim the application of that
clause of the Constitution alluded to.

For the many really kind and generous notices
of our connection with the Telegraph our brethren
of the Press throughout the State will accept our
ierVent thanks.
1t is against our taste to copy these kind greet
ings in our columns, but we feel the kindness all
the more deeply.
Our neighbor of the Democrat will especially &C.

that have great tenacity in the support of the
doctrines of the abolition party" but we hope we

our doctrines in a courteous and friendly manner

For the Kenosha Telegraph.
The American Sunday School Union.

The AMERICAN SUNDAY-scHooL UNION
has from its commencement been engaged
in the missionary work. For number of
years past it has commissioned young men
from our Seminaries and Colleges to go du-
ring the summer vacation as temporary mis-
sionaries into destitute neighborhoods, and
organize Sunday schools.
During the past year, this plan has been
carried out in the Eastern and Middle States
upon larger and more systematic scale, and
with very gratifying results. The young
men entered upon their labors with the full
approval of their instructors, and after receiv-
ing instructions from the Secretary of this
department, who has had long experience
in the work.
Not only have the blessings of the Sunday
school and healthful Christian literature
thus been extended to a portion of the six
million neglected children of our land, but
candidates for the ministry have received a
training of great value, and one adapted to
make them practical working-men in that
high office. During the summer
2l4 young men were engaged in this service,
from
70 institutions, together with three other Ia
borers of various denominations Pres
byterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Luthe-
ran, Congregationalist, United Broth
and Methodist. They performed
in the aggregate more than
Is years service; organized and set in motion
Cos schools, in places where they did not pre-
viously exist, induced
4,4l7 persons to undertake the office of teachers
in these
COS new schools, into which were gathered
"a, 203 children not previously receiving Sunday
school instruction They also visited
1920 schools, in which were
IL 1926 teachers, and
65,975 scholars, supplying them with books when
needed. They thus put in circulation
by sale and grant more than
1000 volumes of moral and religious teaching.
1t is doubtful whether as large an amount
of zeal, piety and intelligence could be secur-
ed at as small a cost from any class of the
community, or so greatly to the advantage
of our country and the interests of true relig-
ion. The whole expense of this great and
good work to the benevolent department of
the AMERICAN SUNDAY-scHooL UNION, in
cluding the salary of the superintendent, the
pay and outfit of the missionaries, and the
books given, was but $5,453 Sc.
The friends of Sunday schools will find in
these facts new motive to increased liberal
ity to this cause

MONEY LOST!

f. JONES, of Bristol, lost Porte Monnaie, a
few days since, containing siXtysx dollars, in gold
and silver. Some person probably has picked it
up, and knows it is not his If he is waiting to
find the owner TO return it TO him, we hope this
paragraph may meet his eye. If he has thoughts
of keeping it. we suggest to him that it would not
be whit better than stealing, and his conscience
will tell him SO more than sixty-six dollars worth
If he lives any length of time.
1t may be left here or at Jackson's tavern in
Bristol, or with Mr.. Jones and the finder can have
fire dollars.

The Tribune's Statements.

re- 1t is true Mr.. Butts, of the Tribune,
has had opportunities of knowing exactly as
to the circulation of the Telegraph, therefore
the monstrous falsehoods he utters in his last
on the subject, can be attributed to nothing
but deliberate design. We did not suppose
since the death of Annanias and Sapphira,
that any man could be found to sit down de-
iberatey, and with full knowledge of the
facts, utter such monstrous falsehoods; and
too, when they are so easily proven as such.
During this week Mr.. Butts stated voluntarily
in this office that his whole edition compii-
sed II quires. This is two more quires
than it really is. but admitting it as he states,
any person who chooses may have the hber-
ty of examining our mail book, and if he does
rot find our county circulation greater than
his whole edition, we will honor his draft
for ten dollars. Again, there is not single
post-office in the county at which the Tele-
graph is not taken, as can easily be known
be examination here or inquiry at this post
office; and not only this but there is not
more than two offices in the county, where
the list of the Tribune telrs in numl ers any
proportion to that of the Telegraph. And
all this Mr.. Butts well knew when he got his
partner to write the article in question, and
all this can be shown to any person if Mr.. B.
dares to submit bis books to the test.
With an individual who has such genius
for falsehood, we will have no controversy,
but if there is person who doubts what we
say, and wishes his doubts settled, We pledge
ourself to furnish him abundant proof

Our Daily-Prospects of Kenosha.

There has been rumor about the streets that
our neighbors of the Telegraph intended TO issue
daily. We have before calculated the chances
of enterprise of the kind and have satisfied our
selves that as permanent thing it cannot pay.
If the publishers of the Telegraph shall succeed
We shall be the last to regret it. We know from
experience that it is hard enough for a newspaper
publisher to keep up with the times without at
tempting to go ahead of thcm-and we know too
that the charitable aid of the public first called
ont by the novelty of project of the sort named,
very soon dies out, and the publisher is left to the
natural resources of the place for support.
KenoSha Democrat
The rumor is just what we stated last week.
It seems our neighbor has itself thought of start
ing n Daily, but finally concluded that the city
was too poor and feeble to sustain one Possibly
it may be right in its estimate of the growth and
enterprise of our City; bat we have much larg-
or faith, and we hope we are not mistaken. We
shall not start it till We think it can be made to
pay its way. And if our citizens shall continue
to subscribe liberally as they have done thus
far, it will do this.
Our Harbor Improvements, our Railroad En-
terprses, and all other growing interests are brave
ly and rapidly lifting Kenosha out of the depres
sion under which it has been suffering. 1t is the
experience Of every city, that for the first few
years of its existence it will take the most rapid
strides ahead. Then-like all results of over ac-
tion--it will stop, stand STILL and even seemingly
retrograde. Such it has been with this City.
But with the new times and new improvements
surrounding it, growing up in it, and extending
out from it, it has recovered its strength and is
again pushing ahead-not with the fitful, ntoxica-
ted steps OF inexperienced youth but with the stea
dy, strong caution and care of maturity.-D.

Judge Miller and the Higher Law.

Judge Miller, in the L. S. District Court at
Milwaukee recently, among other things, i'll his
charge to the jury said
1T sometimes happens that a citizen is sum-
moned, TO serve juror, who entertains vague
or underlined idea that some particular provision
in the constitution some statute, should not be
enforced. Superior obligation of conscience, or
the unconstitutionality of law, is usually the
son alleged. Such person has not a proper
knowledge of the duties of juror, nor a correct
appreciation of his position or privileges as an A
merlcan citizen. No juror, or man III his individ-
ual capacity has the power to declare any statute
unconstitutional that power belongs exclusively
TO a component part of the government, the judi
CARY, and there it is not done but i'll clear and un-
doubted cases. We owe allegiance to the consti-
tuition and laws OF our country. In return for our
protection under them; and TO render this allegi-
ance without exception, or reservation, Is the
bounden duty of every man. Resistance TO the
constitution law, with force of arms is treas
on refusal to execute them is misdemeanor.
Every man in this free country, has his vote in
the election of representatives TO enact laws for
the government of himself and the whole people,
and at the time is bound TO submit to the will
of the majority. Whatever laws are passed must
be submitted to.
If this were correct and carried out, our police
would have its hands full. But nothing can be
more false, and it never can be carried out.
! We have our Statute book law on the sub
ject of misunderstanding But we never heard of
/ it being enforced, although there are instances
enough Of its violation.
| Another statute forbids the circulation of small
/ bills of other States. But there is not man or
newspaper in the State but is denouncing the law
as Hnnbug! 1t is safe to assume that he violates
this law himself every day in his life And yet,
with these and thousand like facts staring us in
the face, to talk of civil law being superior to con-
science ID

From California and Oregon

The mails of the steamer Illinois having
arrived, we have dates from San Francisco
up to the 9th ult, which is one week later
than the news by the Northern Light. The
papers are as usual full of murders, lynchings,
Indian difficulties &c.
Governor Stevens, accompanied by his ar
tist, reached Fort Vancouver about the mid
die of December, and shortly after for his post
in Washington Territory. He is quite conf
dent that the rout he has travelled is feasible
for a railroad track; and one of his assistants,
Capt McClelland, who at last accounts was
in charge of the greater part of the company,
reports that he has surveyed two routs through
the Cascades, both of which are practible for
the contemplated road.
Every arrival from Oregon brings accounts
of the destruction of the homes of the white
settlers by the Indians. All the tribes, with
the exception of the BIackfeet, and the Sho-
kans both of whom Gov. Stevens represents
as friendly, seem to have leagued together
with the view of driving the pale faces from
the country. Disease and misfortune, how
ever, have so thinned out the various bands
of red men on the western sides of the Rocky
Mountains, that they are nearly powerless in
battle, and can now only commit havoc by
suddenly descending upon the unwary settlers
burning his cabin, numbering his wife and
little ones, and driving off his stock.
The Illinois also brings late intelligence
from Australia The news from Melbourne
and Sydney shows that, although trade was
dull gold was as abundant as ever, and PEG
pie were pouring in from all quarters of the
world to procure their share Of it.
