Fire Arms.

/ Has an American citizen right to celIy
loaded revolver? If not, why not? It GER
tainly cannot De because it is more danger
Gus than other fire arms; still a man may
carry loaded rifle through the city and no
one will think it strange, but let the same
man go through the same streets with a
loaded revolver Ill his hand, and he would be
arrested. In our large cities about one half
fthe men 60 armed with some kind of
offensive or defensive weapen-the most of
them carry pistols-and these are concealed
weapons Men are often arrested for carry
ing concealed weapons, and yet not one man
in ten who is SO arrested, is arrested while
the weapon is concealed, but afterhe has
brought it from it's hiding place, and when
ii is no longer concealed weapon. Every
police man carries some kind of a fire arm;
and it is always concealed. Does the law
authorize him to do SO? If the law does, is
it not for his own personal safety that he
carries it? Most assuredly it is; then why
should not every man carry revolver for his
own personal safesy-and right here is the
secret of so many men going armed-person-
al safety. The law says it's wrong to carry
arms because people are SO apt to use them;
still they are carried, and the reason why
they are carried is because the law is not 8
sufficient guarantee of safety. The business
man in the large cities, the travelling man
and many others seldom go away from home
without come kind Of weapon for his own
protection; and such seldom call upon the
officers Of the law for protection in time of
danger; well knowing that such protection
exists only in name and not in fact. w hen
the proper kind Of laws are enacted, and the
right kind Of men are selected 10 enforce
them, the private citizen will cease to carry
arms and not till then. The fault is in the
want of laws that are a protection fact
as well as name Just SO long as the law is
SO defective, and left in the hands of men
who use the enforcement of the law as a pro-
fession ard means of gaining a lively hood
Just so long will the law be nullity and its
enforcement a farce; and just so long will
the private individual carry his own law and
protection in his hip pocket. The evils re-

arms for self-defence are easily traceable to
the loose manner in which the laws of the
land are pretended to be enforced by men
who get themselves elected to offices for the
pu. pose of rising the same as stepping
stones to foftupe. If the laws were enforced
for the good OF the community and not for
the good of the officers cash boxes, many
of the rows, fights and shootings with which
the land is cursed to-day would disappear
and the morals of society would be improved
and the public concience become easier; but
SO long as the reverse is the case, fights ana
frauGs--riots and rascality- rum aud ruin
will increase It is time that this subject
was taken into consideration by the mass of
the people, who bear the burdens and pay
taxes for the privilege; and reform COM
menced during this centennial year, which
shall do away with these crying evils.

We have long wished that some one would take
the initiatory steps TO place Kenosha before the
public as lover of the fine arts, especially mu-
sic. We hail the circulars issued by Miss Clary
for musical school as step in the right direction
which we hope will be properly sustained by oul
citizens. Let all lovers of music take hold and
our word for it the winter OF 1876 and 1877 vii
give US many fine musical entertainments. In
structions in reading at sight and voice culturs
will fill our churches with good singers and our
halls with fine chorus.
