Every man who comes in contact
with Horace G.. Blackman is impressed
with the conviction that Mr.. Blackman
in the Sheriff's Office will be the right
man in the right place. He has the
trmneSs, dignity and courteousness re-
Iuired in this important executive of
fee, Under Mr.. Blackman's honest
and capable administration the inter-
ests of the taxpayer, and the welfare
oil the people, will have the first con-
Sideration, Mr.. Blackman's Democrat
tc competitor shares the responsibility
of the extravaganza of the town ex-
penditures of Pleasant Prairie, and it
would follow, as matter of course,
that the same extravaganza would
characterize his administration in any
Office. Taxpayers, whether Democrats
or Republicans, will, if they look close
~ into this matter, find it will promote
their own interests to vote for IT. G..
Blackman for Sheriff.
Ralph +. Sutherland, County Treas.
urer, has served the people in this Office
over two years to the full satisfaction
OF all the people, Republicans and
Democrats. The public funds are safe
in his hands, and every cent accounted
for. Vote for II. +, Sutherland for
County Treasurer
AIr, d. B. Benedict, the old reliable
Register of Deeds, who has served the
people so efficiently, so'acceptably and
so long will be retained by the people
for future service. They all vote for
Benedict.
Fl. +. Rohldng, candidate for Clerk
of the Court, is a young man, and, of
course, has not had the opportunity of
making record or large number of
friends. But his friends have the ut
most confidence in his ability and fit
ness for the office, and endorse him to
the fullest extent. He received a very
tattering support in the convention,
and is entitled to the confidence and
goodwill Of all Republicans. Give
your vote for Clerk of the Court to
II. f. Rohlfng.
The breeze of ballots that will blow
Dan. Head into the Office of Coroner on
the second day Of November will
strand S. l.. Biglow on the bank Of Salt
river and make a worse wreck of him
than the gale did of his catamaran.

Kenosha county is Republican by
from two to three hundred majority.
In open field and fair fight we can win
every battle. But our foes are willy,
and to ensure victory we must be alert
and watchful. Our sentinels must be
wide awake to observe the tactics of
the enemy. In the thick of The fight
beware of the sudden advance by the
enemy of battery of circulars loaded
with ISLANDERS. Be prepared to capture
them. Our foes do not meet us with
bullets; their weapons are blandish-
ments, buster and bulldozing. Stand
firm. Be not moved by any Of these
things. Spot the traitor who with oily
words betrays you into the rebel camp
by scratching your ticket. Let the
magic word "STAND FIRM sweep
along the line. Make this a Waterloo
victory for National Sovereignty, Lib
erty and Union.

EDUCATIONAL.
D. A. MAHONEY, :
EDITOR.

At the general election next Tuesday
the people of Salem will vote on the
adoption of two Free High Schools in
the town. 1t is hoped that the friends
of education will vote solid" for the
resolution. 1t can be proved beyond
the shadow of doubt, interested par
ties to the contrary Notwithstanding,
that, after the schools have been pro-
vided, the cost of running the schools
Of the town, including the High Schools,
would be less than it is at present.
There are eighty-three such schools in
the State, and they have given album
dant satisfaction. The people of Salem
have an opportunity of establishing
schools which, for the practical affairs
of life, will afford a better training
than two years training at Normal
School. Every voter who has an inter-
est in the cause of education should and
acW vote for the schools.

BELOTT COLLEGE.

The people of the Free Congrega-
tional Church Of Bristol and Paris
were very pleasantly made acquainted
with this important institution last
Sunday by the Rev. H. A. Miner, Of
Madison. The church has existed here
for over twenty-five years with but a
dim consciousness that so worthy and
useful an institution was fourishiRg
50 near us. Oh. course everybody knew
there was a College at Beloit,. or at
least there had been one there; but
there hearing and knowing ended. Not
one of us knew what the college was
doing CT how it prospered, and no one
cared.
In very interestin@diseourse based
on the words, Whatever man soweth
that shall he reap the Rev. Mr.. Miner
gave us knowledge of the great and
noble work of higher Christian edu-
cation that is being accomplished by
Beloit College. He made q comparison
between the planting at Plymouth
Rock and that at jamestown. On the
Rock was planted freedom. education,
and intelligence. and all these guided
by the fear of God. On the fertile soil
of Virginia was planted human slavery.
And what of the harvest!
The work of a college was stated to
be not the examining Of q mans head
with books and with Latin and Greek
but to enable him to make the most OF
himself; to develop and strengthen his
powers; to broaden his vision; to
thoroughly equip him for his life work
He ably argued the necessity of s
Christian, not sectarlan, training, sc
that the man may always be guided by
a true sense Of right and duty. Dur
ing the thirty-three years Of the exist
ence Of Beloit College 5000 had DRUM
of the fountain of knowledge within
her walls, and 600 had gone forth fully
equipped for their life work. A bond
of union exists now between the Bris
toll and Paris Congregational Church
Fifty dollars in cash was subscribed or
the spot, and it is hoped the church
will purchase a scholarship.

Wisconsin expects every man to do
his duty. A great battle is to be
fought next Tuesday. We can hardly
realize it's immense Importance and the
influence of its outcome on the future
destiny of this grand republic. State
supremacy is in deathly conflict with
national sovereignty as it was in 1861
to IS. Wade Hampton, with a Solid
South at his back, swears to cross the
Potomac with 13S electoral votes.
They need but Al doughface Demo
cratic electoral votes to enable the
South to grasp National Sovereignty
by the throat and hurl it to destruc-
ton. Every Republican must take the
field. Now is-the time to prove your
patriotism.

Watch your ballots very closely on
the day of election. 1t is your only
weapon. With it you must win the
conflict for the equality Of all men be-
fore the law and the right of all men,
black and white, in every precinct in
the United States to cast his vote for
the candidate of his choice, and have
his vote counted as he cast it. Let
neither traitors nor enemies turn the
edge of your sword.

There is a silly runner flying from
one Democratic mouth to another to
the effect that several Democratic vo-
tiers sold themselves for two dollars
apiece to carry torches in the Republi-
can procession. 1t is positively assert
ed that Mr.. Fred Lyman purchased at
least one Democrat at the two dollar
rate. The report is false. Republi-
cans can make better use of their mon
ey, and would not purchase such
Democrats at ten cents apiece.

The state furnishes dictionaries to
school districts free of cost. If there
is district which has never received a
dictionary from the state, the clerk
should make oath to the fact, send it to
Madison, and a dictionary will be sent.
If dictionary is so worn as to be
unfit for Use the clerk can obtain new
one for 81. There are several districts
In this county in which new diction-
aries are very much needed. We hope
that the clerks Of those districts will
have them on hand when school opens.

1t was some time after the county
convention was held before the Demo-

one to consent to run against that eff

COURSE OF STUDY.

There is but one school in the coun-
ty in which the district board has
adopted course of study. In the other
schools the pupils act their own pleas
ure as to what they shall study, and
when they shall study it. We find pu-
pills in many of our schools who are
good mathematicians and fair readers,
but they know absolutely nothing about
composition, history or geography. In
other schools we often find class of
more advanced pupils studying algebra,
physiology, physical geography and
sentential analysis. This class, which
rarely consists of more than two or
three pupils, consumes from one-fourth
to one-third of school day, while the
rest of the day is given to the thirty or
forty younger pupils. Those studies
should not be taught in a district school.
One, two or three pupils have no right
to demand one-third of a teachers time
and attention. There are districts in
which one-third of the money paid for
teachers wages is paid for the educa-
ton of one or two pupils.
