torio of Esther was given in this city I'm
der the management of the Bakers, and il
was said to be for the benefit Of the
Methodist Society. In that case, as liz
this, we were never asked to publish the
notices gratuitously, and we have never
received either payment or thanks for
publishing them, And worse still. Job
work, in furnishing Programmes, to the
amount of $3.50, has never been paid
The representative of the Oratorio,
through the foreman,got the Programmes
charged to himself, and they remain un-
paid for. We were absent at the time of
the rendition of the Oratorio, and learn
ing on our return that the Programmes
were no5 paid for, we sent the bill twice
and called once ourself on the represen,
tative for payment, but failed to get it.
And it remains unpaid at the present
time.
Wewould gladly stop here if we could,
but our duty to the Methodist Society
and the public requires us to go farther.
We find charges on book made the 10Th
of December, 1857. for job work to the
amount of $10.75, remaining unpaid.
And by tracing it back we are brought
to the same person, and we believe the
same representative of the same Society.
This has been standing nearly four years,
and with our best efforts Tor nearly three
years we have not been able to secure it's
payment.
As we said last week that the people
of the city are responsible for the doings
of their representatives, so we say now,
that the people of the Methodist Society
are responsible for the doings Of their
representative. IF their representative
gets Advertising and Programmes for
their benefit without paying for them,
they are responsible for it-certainly NOR.
ally responsible. The Society is bound
to know that the integrity of it's repre-
sentative is equal to the position in
which he is placed. And it is high time
that Societies and People were
brought to feel their responsibility. And
we are not without hope that when the
Methodist Society sees the demoralza
ton into which it has been passing, ii
will be capable of bringing about reform
which will secure its former good name
for courtesy, honor and honesty, as well
for religion and christianity.

must confess that am either behind the
times or have an undue appreciation of
the GdUGnce made in the exhibatorv
quail itications of certain individuals, and
the stock IN trade they offer the public,
in these modern days. I had supposed
that gambling hells,' were held in the
dark alleys OF the cities Of oar State, but
at the fair, saw them by the side of the
tent where refreshments were sold bv
the House of God, for the benefit of the
Lord and one informed me that the license

money of children, was much less tina n

OF Brighton, drunk on whisky and beer,
drunk in the enclosure Of The fair grounds,
and not an officer or poliece to preserve
order, or protect the lives and property
of citizens. #st#tsE#
AS citizen Of this Town, I protest
against this thing. It bas been our boast,
that never in this Town has license
been granted to sell liquor, yet for three
days during the fair annually, we have it
sold under our faces, and drunken mob

THE FAIR.

From personal knowledge we can speak
but briefly Of the Fair. The officers OF
the Society failed to get an accomoda-
tion train, except train to start from
Kcnosha at noon, run to the Fair Ground
and return at four o'clock, on "Wednesday
and Thursday We went on the cars to
the Fair on Thursday and besides hear.
address and getting dinner had but little
ing the time for seeing what was at
the Fair. There was some good stock,
some good fruit, some good articles
Of manufacture, and some good machine
ry. The address was good one, and
was we'll delivered and we'll received
A copy was asked by the society for pub
lication and will be furnished in due
time. Financially we believe the Fair
was not as successful as the Fair was last
| year.
We publish two communications TO-DAY
in relation to the Fair which will speak
for themselves. IF the communication O.
| @. |. S. gives fair statement of what
transpired at the Fair and on the eve
ming of the LASS day, the officers of the
Society are very reprehensible. Ifthey al
lowed the sale of intoxicating liquors on
the Enclosures of the Fair In a Towr
where it has been the boast that no Ii
cense has ever been granted, and rowdies
became drunk and conducted as stated
III consequence of such sale, without
an officer of any kind to stop it, the off
GERS of the Society should receive pub
lie rebuke, and should be censured by thu
Society. From what we know Of G. l. S
we are constrained to believe what h(
says of the rowdyism, drunkenness anG
lawlessness arising from the sale Of Eq
uors on the Fair Enclosures, and yet We
could hope that the officers might be
able to say something to relieve them
selves to some extent from the odium
which must otherwise attach to them
And we deem it right that they should
have the opportunity to indicate theil
action or relieve themselves from the con
sequences, if they can, before invoking re
buke or censure.

THE BADGERS TEMPERANCE
PLEDGE MOI.

We publish to day "The Badgers Tenn.
perance Pledge No. ~, dated January
9Th, 1894, with So names subscribed to it
1t is very good Temperance Pledge
with the exception Of five words. Leav-
ing out the phrase Of five words, for the
aaert 150e gears, it is fully equal to any OF
the later Temperance Pledges, and capa.
BILE of securing those who keep it free
dom from personal intemperance. How
many kept the pledge for five years we
do not know. Some, having returned to
drinking habits, would do we'll to sub
scribe the pledge anew, with the words
for the meet .1fue gears, left out, and then
be sure to keep it. Some of the IS sub
scribers were probably temperance men
before they signed The Badgers Tenn.
perarce Pledge No. l. Certain it is they
have been temperance men since the ex.
piration of the five years. One of the
s bscrlbers, John B. Jilson, appends to
his name the words "for life" He has
undoubtedly Kept his pledge thus far and
will keep it to the end. But does he
fully comprehend the meaning of his
pledge? The pledge of the others was
for definite time, foe gears. Hispledge
was for an inde6nite time, for life, which
might be less or more than five years
And it might be inferred by implication
that he reserved the right to use intox-
icating drinks as a beverage after the sx-
piration of life, as the other subscribers
did, after the expiration of five years
But he will have one advantage. Being
free from the appetite for intoxicating
drinks at the expiration of life, he will
not be likely to desire to imbibe them
after his departure.
The belief of Immortality, or continued
existence, is much more prevalent now
than it was quarter of a century ago
And belief, a doctrine, philosophy, is
somewhat prevalent at the present time
that the Incorporate departed, by placing
themselves in rapport with the intemper-
ate living, can crafty their incorporate
appetites, with and through the living
partakers. But whether this belief, doc.
trine, philosophy, or whatever name it
may receive, be true or not, it is not
likely that John B. Jilson thought of ii
when he appended to his name the words
for ly0.
A word to the subscribers to The
Badgers temperance Pledge No 1, who
are still living, and reside in Kenosha.
Your pledge has subserved it's purpose.
None now. except the one for life, are
under any obligations from the pledge, to
abstain from the use of Intoxicating
drinks as beverage. Now as then, and
more than then, something is necessary
to restrain the intemperance and gen.

DEMoRALIzATIoN-L TO HOME
In conversation last week with one of
our citizens he remarked that there was
q general Generalization all over the
country, that we need not talk of the
Tammany Thieves, that there was as
much stealing in Kenosha as in New
York in proportion to the size of the
place, and that our duty was to look to
home and labor for reform here, and let
the people of other places take care of
themselves. There is much truth and
good sense in the view he takes OF the
country in general and the duty of the
people to labor for reform at home. And
we hope not to forget home interests and
home reform. Last week we addressed
the people of Kenosha and appealed to
them, one and all, TO labor for reform.
And we hope our address and appeal
have not been altogether without good
effect. This week we make some remarks
IN relation to some of the doings of a
religious society which we hope will
produce good results. What home mat
tiers may require attention next week we
can judge of better when the time
arrives. There are many subjects claim.
ing attention, but only one or few can
be reached each week. So we would saw
to the people, be patient and we will do
the best we can.

THE B1ILING or TWEED.

Bail is the softer alternative of Jail. man,
accused of crime but not yet tried, has legal
as well as moral right to be treated otherwise
than as a convicted felOn. The law requires
only that he shall surely be on hand when
wanted for trial, and requires bail expressly
TO this end. 1t rcpOscs a wide discretion in
the committing magistrate because $1,000 may
he amply sufficient in one case, when 100000
would be too little in another.
II Justice Barnard supposed bond Of 5000
would certainly retain Mr.. Tweed within his
jurisdiction until he shall be required to stand
at the bar, then he did right in holding him
to bail III that sum. If he did not, then he
has prostituted the forms of law to defeat the
ends of justice.
NO one Is entitled as yet to pronounce the
accused guilty of the oilcnsc whereof he stands
indicted; but the Judge who is asked to admit
him to bail must act on the hypothesis of his
guilt. He must ask himself" Supposc tbc
"prisoncr now before me guilty of the crime
" whereof he stands indicted. what sum will
"hold him to await his trial ~
III the light of these truisns, it seems To ia
that Judge Barnard has done wrong-that
considering the magnitude of the spol,aton
alleged, 5000 is no such amount as sbould
have been cXactrd.
