Special Correspondence OF The Tribune
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16.-H there is any one
thing in which certain class Of the men OF
wealth Of Milwaukee excel more than another,
it is in the origination Of brilliant schemes
looking to the future welfare and greatness Of
the city and their consequent enrichment. The
facility with which these schemes are evolved
and discussed during each succeeding winter Is
truly astonishing; but what causes even greater
wonder In the mind OF the average reader Is the
fact that none of them are ever carried
into execution They all look well
on paper, and are even feasible;
but, somehow, they are invariably permitted to
suffer obliteration for want Of the necessary en-
terprise to carry them out. To tell the truth,
Milwaukee is blessed with people who seem
ever ready to plan for the investment OF capital
By others, vet arc never willing to lnvcst dol
lar themselves. They are handy at placlng
chestuuts in the hot ashes to roast, hut dlslkc
very much to employ their Own digits in pulling
them out. Thus there arc rich landowners here
whose estates in the suburbs would increase IN
value an hundred fold through the estab-
lishment OF parks, the erection OF summer
hotels. or something Of that sort. These men
one will find at this Season OF the year con-
stan,ly planning something Of the kind; but
when it comes to going down into thei- own
1noncy-bags for the wherewlth to make begin
ming they arc never at home They prefer that
others should hazard the experiment rather
than assume any risk themselves; and always
affect surprise that Eastern capitalists fail to
realize what fruitful source OF Investment lies
within easy reach and needs only to be grasped
to insure rich returns
No one can question the fact that Milwaukee
Possesses all OF the elements necessary 1or Il
first-class summer-resort-' Her location is one
OF great natural beauty, with q bay than which
no haudsomer exists; with an atmosphere
throughout the ''iiog-lays" season that is not
alone invigoratin:r and health-giving, but posi-
tiycly delightful; with stretch Of territory back
OF her that nbounds in lakes and beautiful coun-
trv-road drives. All that the city requires to
attrar5 summer tourists is some one with
the necessary pluck and capital to take
tie initiative In the erection OF s
summer hotel and summer cottages for occupa-
ton By those who annually migrate norrhward
and could easily be induced to remain. Yet that
some one can never be found, and OF whot avail
are location and other natural advantages uu-
less improved at home! Printers ink is cheap
in this Gty,-only too cheap, in fact But
printers ink will never infuse pluck and enter
prise where not 1.-THE OF either exists. To ac-
cornp}ish such result under existing clrcun.
stances would be to revolutlon:ze tie laws OF
nature.

The Grange Anniversary which took
place last Thursday night was a grand
success. Notwithstanding the bad
roads and the dark night, goodly
number of the Changers and their
special friends found their way to the
Hall, and spent a pleasant evening.
The early part of the evening was de-
voted to the young people, who Occu-
pied the time in singing and speaking.
At nine o'clock the bountiful supper
partake thereof. After supper a short
time was spent in miscellaneous busi-
ness, and every one went home feeling
that the night was pleasantly and
profitably spent.
Our schools are now under active
operation and, we hope, doing a good
work. If in any district the teacher
is not successful, we can blame no one
for the failure of the school but the
local directors, for we believe that in
many cases it was with them in hiring
mere matter of dimes, and not the
previous success of the teacher. The
following is our corps of teachers /:
Special District-H. M. Wright, Elsie
Hollister and Josie Shobern. Town

Hughes, L. E. Hughes, Lucy J. Byers
Mary Sheliday, Mary Wilson and Bar
bara Garrison.
The Edinburgh Literary Society is
now fully organized. At the meeting
last Saturday night Constitution and
Bylaws were adopted, which, we

cerned. The object of the Society is
the propagation of literature, morality
and friendship; the members of the
Society are determined to make this a
model Society. The next meeting will
be held next Friday evening. Ques-
ton for discussion "Should Chinese
immigration be restricted ?" We hope
all who are interested in the Society
will be present at the next meeting.
