message be referred to a committee of
the whole house and ordered printed,
but first he said he desired to comment
upon it. He referred to that part re-
lating to the Southern States. He said
he failed to see what the President
saw. He failed to see any thing wrong
at any election in the South and charg-
ed the President with vacillation Car
field responded not SO much against
what Wood said as against the time Of
his saying it. Wood replied and Hale
sponded-and Cox followed. Woods
motion to refer and print was agreed
to soon after which the house adjourn

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message is the Presidents best.
1t has many good qualities and no OBJ
jectionable ones. 1t is short, able, ju-
ducious and appropriate. And it is
conspicuous for what it does not say
as we'll as for what it does say It says
nothing of civil service reform.
Two subjects in the message will at
tract more attention than others.
What is said Of the South, and Of the
elections in Louisiana and South Car
DINA at large and in some Congress
sional districts outside Of those States
and OF the finances, including the coin
Of silver. The President thinks the
election laws of Louisiana and South
Carolina and some Congressional Dis
trlctS outside of them have been VIC
lated and that it is the duty of the De-
partment Of Justice to bring the vio-
lators to justice and punishment, and
says he will leave nothing undone on
his part to that end, and that he relies
confidently en- Congress making the
necessary appropriation to enable the
Executive Department to enforce the
laws. The President, with views I'M
changed of the law under which the
coinage Of silver proceeds, thinks the
financial laws better remain unchang-
ed for a year by the expiration Of
which time better judgment can be
formed Of them and Of what legisla-
ton if any may be advisable for their
Improvement.
However just the Presidents views
may be on these subjects there will be
action in the present Congress in rela-
tion to both of them but whether it
will result in legislation and law has
yet to be determined.

CHORALE SOCIETY.

During last Summer an effort was made to in
tereSt the people OF Kenosha in a g Musical In
stitute" in which vocal music was to be taught
in all its branches. Only few could be induced
to support the enterprise at the beginning The
nature OF the work, however, was such as to en-
list a steady growing interest, a musical society
for mutual Improvement being organized at the
closing rehearsal. For many reasons the socie-
ty was postponed from time to time until the
interest seemed to have been almost entirely
lost. A Musical Convention for the purpose Of
again arousing an interest was arranged for, to
be conducted by DR.. j. f. Fargo This too was
but lightly supported at first, but as in the In
stltute the work proved musical success.
1t was announced that the Musical or ''Choral
Society" would meet ON Monday evening, at the
High School building. To the establishment of
all SeVenty-tiye met for the first rehearsal A
motion was made and carried to devote the first
part OF each evening to elementary work,
Teaching the members to read music by sylla-
BILE phrase, and letter
Now let all who want to learn to read music,
avail themselves of this rare opportunity for self
Improvement in one of the most delightful of
all sciences Three months rehearsals for 50. 90.
Next rehearsal @onday evening next, at High
School building, from 7 rs to rs O'Clock.

TT ECtTION FRAUDS IN FLORIDA.


| ELECTION FRAUDSIN FLORIDA
The Democratic msnagers In florldt
have introduced a new system OF cleo
ton frauds which has been successfuI
Ily practiced. The Democratic Legis'
Ilature Of 1877 so amended the registry
| law that it was made the duty Of the
county commissioners to erase from
the registry list names of such persons
as are known, or who may be shown,
to have died or ceased to reside in the
district or are otherwise disqualified
to vote at the place of registration.
The Democratic commissioners acting
under this law DISTINGUISHED Republi-
cans outrageously. Out OF 1000 Re-
publican voters in Leon county, the
names of 1900 were erased. In JEFF
ferson county they struck off 1 900 Re-
publican voters, in Gladstone 700, and
in EscOmbia, 500. In other counties
where Democratic commissioners had
charge Republican voters were strick-
en- off in about the same proportion.
And though the law provides that the
commissioners shall hold special meet
ings to allow complaints and correct
the registry in case names have been
improperly omitted only three days
were allowed the clerks to issue thous-
ands of certificates and the clerks were
in session only a few hours every day,
and certificates were issued to but
comparatively few. BY these means
thousands of Republican voters were
practically and completely disfran-
chised.
Senator Conover being interviewed
on the subject closes the interview as
follows:
I am sure that the members of the
Democrotic party would never have
endured in silence their wholesale dis
reimbursement by any Board of Com
missioners. All past election frauds
in Florida are dwarfed into insignif-
canoe in comparison with this mon
strous wrong, which allows to petty
Board of County Commissioners the
power, in utter contempt Of the
pledges of the Constitution, by the
stroke Of the pen, to annihilate the po-
litical rights of an entire community
Other frauds were committed at the
polls, when Republican votes, handed
to those in attendance to be deposited
in the box, were exchanged by slight
Of hand for Democratic ones. | could
give you other instances where Demo
cratic officials, who had things all their
own way, violated all law and decency,
but I will defer it until another time.
I cannot believe that, when these
frauds are properly shown up, even a
Democratic House can allow a mem
Der TO take a seat obtained in such a
manner. [ cannot cOnscientiouSly,
and will not, allow wrong so sweep
ing to pass without some effort to
have it repaired. Florida is Repub-
lican State on anything like q fair
election, and even under such colossal
frauds as are now perpetrated there,
the Democrats can hardly claim it.

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS IN KE-
NOSHA.

ESTABLISHING Mt OF MANUFACTURERS.
Can anything be done to revive
business in Kenosha more than is
done?" is asked by the writer IF an
article published in this paper, in rela-
ton to the revival Of business and the
establishment Of manufactures in Ke-
nosha. The writer, after speaking of
several manufactures now existing, and
the business arising from them, sug-
geSts the establishment Of other man
ufactories and speaks Of the effects
which would result from them. The
writer is right in what he SAYS ana
suggests. Kenosha is a fine place for
the establishment of manufactures. It
is beautiful and healthful. And there
is abundance of room-room for all
that the writer suggests and much
more-room III space and in manufac-
turing not occupied. Two Of the man
utactures spoken of by the writer are
not in Kenosha. No paper and no
Woolens are manufactured in Kenosha.
There is an open field for these, and
also for other manufactures which
might prove equally profitable. And
there is capital enough in Kenosha to
make q beginning. And now is u IA
Vorable time to make that beginning
to bring forth the capital and embark
In manufacturing. Action is now nee
essary. Concert of action with union
OF capital sufficient to place whatever
manufacturing is engaged in on bus
mess and financial basis, ensuring sue
cess. This can be done if those who
have the capital will set themselves to
work and unite in action. With the
union Of capital and united action. sue
cess may be ensured.
