The part played by our political pop
Inlay, the Vice President, in the con
troversy between the Administration
and Mr.. Conkling is looked upon with
considerable curiosity, not unmingled
with pity and disgust. The nonentity
of the man is so apparent. The lack
of personality and entire subserviencs
to the within of his chief must indeed
commend themselves to the considera.

ed with suspicion from the first. The
manner OF his election and his effort to
secure the withdrawal of Robertson's
name have not fixed upon him any
trait Of character other than the char
acter of obedience, not to sense of
justice, but to the will of his political
majesty, Mr., Conkling.

Mr.. Conkling occupies so large part
Of the visual angle of some Of those
journals that have supported him
through thick and thin in all the diff
culties in which he has involved him.
self and his friends for couple of
months past that they cannot see what
will become of New York politically if
Lord Roscoe is not returned to the SEN
ate. They are unable to realize that
New York without Conkling and Conk-
ling without New York are not synony-
nous terms, symbols of political dis
aster and death to both. Mr.. Conkling,
without the great state of New York
at his back, is not particularly awe-in-
spiring-no more than any talented
man. Without New York he becomes
man dependent upon his own abilities
the same as any one else. That they.
are of high order all are willing to
admit. New York loses none of her
prestige by dropping him out entirely.
The glory Of the Empire State lies in
her immense resources and great in
dustries. 1t is simply the regalia of
this greatness Mr.. Conkling has worn.
He has made the mistake of supposing
that New York's greatness was simply
that reflected from her senator's imperi-
al intellectS. 1t was bad mistake to
make, but he was so thoroughly imbued
with it that he has absorbed into the
same belief many whose brains were
too weak to comprehend the hollow
ness Of his assumptions. Mr.. Conkling
has found his mistake, but less capable
than he has worshipers. who go on pay
ing tribute, unable to comprehend the
change that has come.

A petition was presented to the New
York legislature the other day, signed
b. 300 names from one Of the con-
gressional districts, asking the return
of Conkling and Plat. On examin'
alton, 1t proved to be copy of the poll
list, all written with red ink and in
one hand writing. This fact was dis
covered and brought out in the session
to the great amusement of the "half
breeds" and to the chagrin Of the
stalwarts." 1t was evidently an
effort on the part of some rural politi
cal rascal to impose upon the legisla
ture. 1t was fortunate that it was
discovered in season.

The "City of Milwaukee" made its
first trip from Milwaukee to Racine on
Saturday, with fine company Of excur-
sionists from the Cream city. A large
addition to the company was taken on
at Racine, and the day was spent IN
viewing the beauties and testing the
powers Of this beautiful boat. we had
the pleasure of going over her with
hundreds of others as she lay az the
wharf in Racine. Such a specimen
of beauty, power, convenience and all
the other qualities that are desirable
in a fine lake steamer is seldom to be
seen, and leaves an impression of the
magnitude of the enterprise expended
In making travel delightful and safe
nowadays not easily eradicated. Il
any one wishes to view sample OF
what this enterprise has wrought lei
him step aboard the "City OF Milwau'
kee" and his curiosity will be more
than satisfied.

How many of the teachers of Ken
osha county know that we have such a
thing as teachers library? From
the number who call for books, we
judge that only a few are aware of the
fact. For the benefit Of those who
never knew, or who may have forgot
ten, we will state that there is teach
ers' library in the county, and that it
contains many good works on teaching.
Half of the books are in the Office of
the clerk of the court, at Kenosha.
MI. Gallaghan will gladly wait on the
teachers whenever the superintendent
is not in the Office. The other half of
the books are at the superintendent
house at Salem, and he will be glad to
show them to teachers at any time of
the day or night.

The New York Herald breaches an
impressive temperance lecture on the
statement made by the keeper of the
Morgue in that city. that four-ffths OF
the 5000 bodies which annually reach
the dead house are sent there by drunk
enness. 1t says:
There may be cities in the world
where men can drink spirits without
injury to body or brain, but New York
is not one of them. In city where
everybody, from the millionaire to the
day laborer, is being continually impell-
ed to begin more work than he can
finish, whatever increases physical or
mental excitement is a positive curse.
The Morgue's occupants do not all
come from the lower classes. who drink
bad rum; scions of honorable stock
have been found there too often, fol
alcohol is as merciless leyeler as death
itself.

has always been credited. Mr.. Conklinf,
sees in Mr.. Arthur the fatted calf, and
he is offering him up on the sacrifcial
altar before the reaction comes and he
becomes too lean for the purpose for
which he has been fatted.

Some people find it hard to get over
the notion that the senators of state
are entitled to make executive appoint
ments in their states, or, what is the
same, advise the President so to do OF
not to do, and then consider themselves
insulted if their wishes are not carried
out. The fact that presidents have
consulted with senators on such ap.
pointments Is not due to any sense OF
obligation resting upon them, express
ed or implied. The Senate have the
consideration of the question, but not
till after the nomination is made, and
then not rs individuals or states,
but as body. If senator's have
exercised dictation in any such cases,
or all of them, it is plainly an usurpa-
ton of a power plainly given to the
executive,

There is a vast difference in the fla
vor of eggs. Hens fed on clean, sound
grain and kept on a clean grass run
give much finer favored eggs than hens
that have access to stable and manure
heaps and eat all kinds of filthy food.
Hens feeding on fish and onions flavor
their eggs accordingly, the same as
cows eating onions or cabbage, or drink
ing offensive water, impart bad taste
to the milk and butter. The richer
the food the higher the color of the
eggs. Wheat and corn give eggs the
best color, while feeding on buckwheat
makes them colorless, rendering them
unfit for some confectionery purposes.

to represent the 9Th senatorial district
the Walworth County Independent
speaks as follows of Hon. w. 5. Max
well, who so worthily represented this
Assembly district in the last legisla-
ture: at is conceded according to
custom that the position should be
given to a Walworth County man. If,
however, it should be given to Ken

deserving or better qualified than Hon.

sented his county in the Assembly two

Unhappy Ireland Still the land
agitation is tearing at her vitals and
rendering any thought of peace and
quiet impossible. Hundred of arrests
are being made under the coercion act,
evictions multiply, and all thought
of spending his days peacefully
in the land of his birth must soon
desert the unhappy Irishman forever.
With what tenacity Of purpose do they
not cling to the memories of their be-
loved isle? Few as are the inhabitants,
there are yet too many for such sys-
tenn of holding lands. A scarcity of
labor seems the only motive left to in
duce landholders to treat their tenants
with justice and moderation. The
Irishman must emigrate.

The Inter Ocean, speaking of the re-
forms in the Post Office department in
stituted BY Mr.. James, says: $50 far
he has won all the laurels of the Gar
field Cabinet" This will be news to
many people who have supposed that
secretary Window had done a little in
the way Of winning a laurel wreath.
Mr.. James is doing handsome work in
the post Office department, having al
ready saved 100000; but this amount,
compared with Mr.. WINDOWS little
presto change, and $14,O0O00O annually
rolls into the vaults Of the Treasury,
is not enough to entitle him to any such
extravagant statement as the above.
If the Inter Ocean will get that big flea
out Of its eye it will see many things
in the present administration worthy
of commentator, not the least among
which is the way in which the Presi-
dent knocked Roscoe into a cooked hat,
so to speak. The Inter Ocean thinks
Mr.. Conkling has been insulted and
wants to see him returned. Mr.. Conk-
ling has been badly used. He slapped
the ADMINISTRATORS back and got
knocked down for his pains. They are
doing all they can M there at Alhanv
to resuscitate him, but he comes to
hard. One thing nobody can look
upon his reelection as a vindication.
Let him be reelected. Mr.. Conkling
is smart mana powerful man; he
has had humiliation enough. Let him
go back. He will probably know
enough to behave himself in future.
If he don't, he viii be treated like bad
boys usually are.
