AenOszna seminary for Young
Ladies.-We call attention of our readers
everywhere to the announcement in oul
columns this week Of Mrs CRAWFORD, in
reference to the opening of the Kenosha
Seminary for Young Ladies, on the 18th Of
June next. This Seminary has lately been
instituted on the basis of subscription OF
| $40, 900, which it is expected will be sufi-
cient to establish it on a permanent founda-
ton and put it well on the road to success
full operation and efficient usefulness.
As we have before said, the large and
elegant mansion and grounds of Senator
Durkee on the lake shore in the southern
portion of the city, have been secured for
the accommodation of the Seminary These
grounds are highly improved, making one
of the most delightful retreats on this shore
of the lake. .a... r...
The lady who has consented to take
charge of the educational department of the
Seminary, Mrs CRAWFORD, is abundantIy
qualified for the duties of the situation-of
ample experimental above all, whose
whole soul is in the work. She will be as
sisted by full corps of competent teachers
Of her own selection, with all the necessa-
ry apparatus and fixtures of first class in
stitution of learning. 1t is hardly necessa-
ry to commend this Institution to our friends
in this city and county, but to those at a
distance looking for desirable school at
which to place their daughters, we will say
that no Institution east or west will offer
greater inducements than this. Kenosha
has become noted, the country over. for its
salubrity and healthfulness. The heat and
sultriness of summer is ever modified by the
cool and healthfnI influence of the lake,
while the extreme of winter is subject to the
same modification We have no marshes,
no swamps, no stagnant pools to breed ma

sions increased, during the same period. was

claims, of both classes, admitted during the
year, was 1928, an annual aggregate OF ST.

in extending their farming operations which
at present never paid tor, and build more
houses. The whole business was in their
own hands. Would they use it?
Mr.. L. d. Whiting made q strong argu-
ment in favor OF regulating the railroad tar
ifs by legislative action. Ifs man owned a
mill, the law specified what toll he should
take; if any one loaned money, the law FIX
ed the rate of interest which should be de-
manded. Legislative action in regard to the
railroads was therefore justified. He advo-
Gated making this question a test in the cleo
ton of state senators and representatives
in that way the evil could be remedied.
Mr.. W, Perkins made an argument similar
to that of the gentleman who proceeded him,
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed.
After some further discussion on various
subjects, the convention adjourned.

NEGRO EQUALITY.

We presume our readers have not forgot
ten that. last fall, the republican county con-
vention dared not avow its real principles Tor
fear of defeating its candidates for county Oh
foes. The candidates were, therefore, NOM
mated without platform, enabling them to
urefess all things to all men. Who does not
remember how earnestly those candidates
nrofssssd ito conservative mem that they
were not in favor of negro equality, and ITO
radicals) that they were in favor OF placing
the negro upon an equality, before the law
with all white men? We we'll remember
with what venom we were assailed IN the
canvass of 1864, when we declared that the
intention of the radical party was to make
the negro the political equal with the white
man nor have we forgotten how sturdiiy
that sssoft impeachment" was denied by the
radicals. And many white men will recol-
lsct how, in the less exciting canvass OF 1900,
the same charge was met with silence, or a
very cool denial of its truth.
But time has moved on, and has brought
to history what was at those dates prophesled
in democratic speeches. The radical con-
gressmen are zealously pressing their ideas
before that body On the first day they man
aged to exclude the southern members from
the house in body.
Immediately upon the organization OF the
senate. Senator Sumner introduced four bills,
q Joint resolution, a concurrent resolution,
and series of resolutions all referring to
the equality of the negro. They are az fol-
lows
Bill No. provides that s.grand iuries shall con-
sist o one-hait of persons of African descent
where one sixth of the population are African, and
the same proportion IN petit Jures where the
matter relates to any injury IuhIcteo by person
of African descent upon person not OF such des-
cent. and vice versa and prejudice agalns. such
race is made ground OF challenge and exclusion
from such JurIes'
Bill No prescribes an oath to be taken by al
officers uader the government. One OF the claus
es of the oath reads follows ''rhat l will al

Bill No. 3 proposes to punish, by fine and I'm
prisonment, any attempt to control the services o
any negro, contrary to the provisions OF the 'sla

Bill No. gives the right of suffrage to negroes
