A BAR CONVENTION of the bar of the First
Judicial Circuit is called to be held at the
Court Houee at Racine on Friday the 10Th
of March, to consider the Dropriety of the
bar making nomination and to recommend
suitable candidate fox Judge of said Circuit
The call has been signed by all the bar of
Kenosha County and is being circulated
through the circuit and will probably re-
ceive the signatures of the bar generally
The call, emitting the signatures, is printed
in this paper.
The purpose Of the convention is to recon-
mend suitable person for candidate for
the office, irrespective of political predilec-
tions, believing that candidate thus brought
before the people would be more likely to
secure the election of Judge possessing
the best qualifications than by nominations
being made and supported by political par
ties.

Mr.. EDITOR In your last issue I noticed
among the bills killed at last Legislature was
one introduced By Senator Black, of Milwaukee,
asking fer freedom Of conscience to the inmates
Of our State Institutions. As understand 1t, al
though contrary to the spirit of our free Instltu
ti0ns, Catholic Priest cannot enter those places
to offlciate as ministers of ether denominations
do. Mr.. Blacks bill made no distinetio was
voted down " for, 43 against. This speaks we'll
for our enlightened lawmakers. The most ap-
propri place for them would be the German
Parliament, under VonBismarck. Those christian
men did not hesitate to appropriate fifty dollars
each to secterian ministers residing at Madison
and at the same time denying the liberty of CEN
scieEce to unfortunates in our State Institutions
Perhaps those unfortunates do net need prayers
as much as cur solons in the Legislature.
