TIE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

| AS an agricultural and industrial exhibi
ton our late county fair was success. IL
nearly every department the numerous arti.
Giles and animals were Of high merit. It wa.
success, too, in the large number of per.
sons who visited the fair.
It's success has demonstrated, among other
things, that county fairs have not outliyed
their day and usefulness that il is an insti
tuition that will promote the progressof ag-
riculture, manufacturing industries and
trade; that KenOsha county can have good
annual fair; and thSt the citizens of Keno
sha county appreciate the importance and
value Of annual industrial exhibitions.
How the gratifying success of our late ex-
hibition was insured is well known. The
County Agricultural Society had suffered
several failures in its annual fairs and was
deeply mired In the slough Of despondency.
Mr.. z. G.. Simmons put his shoulder 10 the
wheel and got the Society ON solid ground.
His spirit and example were contagious, and
the citizens Of Kenosha county aroused Them
selves and determined to make good fair.
1t is admitted that the path Of the Society
is yet edged about with difficulties. There is
still the debt hanging over it, mortgage on
all its future prosperity. Eleven hundred
dollars is g large sum, but it should moi dis
courage US or palsy the efforts Of the Society.
By making the right effort, and taking the
proper steps, that amount should be easily
raised among the enterprising peoph who
make up the population Of Kenosha county.
Mr.. q. G. Simmons has subscribed $500, on
condition that enough more is raised to pay
the debt. Iftherc we're eighty publicPirit-
ed men in Kenosha county who would give
ten dollars each the debt would be wiped
out and successful career opened before
the Society. This is matter that should
come prominently before the annual meeting
of the Society, which occurs on the first
Monday Of December. The friends 81 the
Society will have time TO consider the natter
and come prepared to suggest ways and
means Of raising the debt: and whatever
may be decided upon let il be executed with
energy and promptness. R.P.R.

The nomination and confirmation of
Judge Folger to the Secretaryship Of
the Treasury is received with satisfac-
tion. 1t is thought that he accepted
the position with promise Of more
permanent appointment soon, as in
accepting the position he relinquishes
one that is perhaps better, considered
as paying place. The resppointment
Of Mr.. James to the Postmaster Gen
eralship is claimed to have been made
from the peculiar wording Of the
article organizing the Post Office De-
partment, making it seem that he
could not be constitutionally removed.
His retention in the Office may have
been partly owing to the incomplete
disposition of the star route cases.
Attorney General McVeigh has not
been released from his Office. The
President, it is understood, desires
him to complete the prosecutions Of
the star route defrauders. Mr..
McVeigh wishes to be relieved. His
desire to continue in the cabinet is
looked upon as peculiar. and there are
rumors that his wish to be relieved is
because there are insurmountable
difficulties to bringing the star route
prosecutions to asuccessful end. The
appointment of Mr.. Howe, which was
momentarily expected last week,
is now not expected. Whether the
change of design was due to the fact
that Mr.. Howe's son-in-law was con-
nected with the defense of Brady and
others is not fully known, but it is
thought to have had its influence. It
is beloved that when these cases are
disposed of Mr.. Howe will receive
the appointment. The people will be
sorry and indignant if the cases of the
star route frauds are allowed to 90 un-
punished for any reason. Mr.. Mcyeigh
has said too much indicating his con-
fidence, as has also Mr.. James in show
ing the fraudulent character of these
transactions for backing down. The
President desires, as near as can be
learned, that these prosecutions shall
go on. Why it is that Mr.. McVeigh
now desires to be relieved may have
many reasons. What they are he has
not chosen to make known. Mr.. Win
dom has presented his credentials and
become again Senator from Minnesota.

Mr.. Vosburgh, the Republican nom.
inee for the Assembly in this county
is temperance man. Let it be as dis.
tinctly understood as any Democrat
may desire. The attempt to make
capital for the Democratic nominee on
that score may taste sweet to the
tongue, but it will sour on the stomach,
Mr.. Vosburgh is only one. There are
hundreds of temperance men on Re-
publican tickets throughout the State.
We shall be surprised il the great pre-
ponderance of nominees are not tenn
perance men, and whiskey men rare ex-
captions, whether on the State ticket
or various county tickets. The solici-
tude with which the Democrats regard
any Entertainments Of temperance up
on the Republican party or Of the Re.
publicans upon the Prohibitionist is
the most touching spectacle of the
campaign, Their principal efforts
VIII be expanded in trying to make
every temperance man Prohibition.
ist, and in warning every Republican
from voting fora temperance man, lest
he should prove Prohibitionist. It
does not take very great penetration to
perceive in all this an attempt to feath.
er the Democratic nest. But the trick
is too shallow. When temperance
goes to the Democrats for assistance,
or when Democrats indicate loving
regard for temperance, there is q Mig
ger in the fence, you may be sure. Mr..
Vosburgh is temperance man from
principle. He is not drunk on the sub.
Iect, as those fanatics seem to be who
are abandoning every other issue with
the one apparent object of dealing the
temperance cause a hard blow, for it
will be hard blow to the temperance
cause, in spite of anything that can
now be done. Nobody will be deceived
by the attempt to attach Mr.. Vosburg
to the Prohibitionists; it Is merely o
trick to obtain votes for Mr.. Van Bus
kirk, and very thin trick at that.

Teachers are not usually very active

Teachers are not usually very active
politicians. The male teachers of a
county as small as this ere few. II,
however, we entertained the same opin-
ion that some of the teachers Of the
county have expressed to us in regard
to the danger Of working against
their present Official head, instead
Of quailing in the corner and sub
hitting to it, we would get out and
blow if we had to chop wood for the
next two years to pay for it. A county
superintendent is a much less potent
individual in the matter of the dispo-
sition Of situations in his county than
teachers imagine. He may help his
friends. but a teacher with a reputation
can usually obtain a desirable place
without very much assistance. A
superintendent dislikes breeze about
as much as any other mortal, whether
he is running for Office or not; and GER
tainly one who would make it hard for
teachers, either by pressure upon schol-
ariy qualifications for a certificate, OF
by disparaging their work in the school
room to school officers, because they
were politically opposed to him, would
be entitled to zephyr at least. We
are inclined to discredit such stories,
but there are good reasons besides
these why the teachers Of the county
should give their support to Mr. Mid
Idlecamp; not alone in voting, but in
t talks with the formers and voters In
| the field of your present work. There
remain but three more days, but these
| are the best days Of ali, Mr.. Middle
campis young man who will do cred
1t to the Office. You need have M
fears but that he will use you jus
right. He is fitted to be at once th,
| friend and leaaer Of the teachers Of thu
!, county. You can make any superin
tendent understand, if you will, that b
is more dependent upon teachers thar
they upon him. Go right to work. l
is as much your right and your bust
ness to be politician as it is anybody
else's. Even the young school ma'am
may WELD political influence in regar,
to this Office, and those who desire t
see Mr., Middlecamp elected will, W
trust, do what they can between nov
and Tuesday, as we'll as on that day.

Among the things to be voted for or
against at the coming election is the
constitutional amendment with refer
ence to biennial sessions of the state
legislature. Our readers will please
excuse us if we refrain from vontur-
ing an opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
such change. We must confess that
we do not see the object Of it, however
apparent it may be to those who are
intimately acquainted with it. 1t is u
question that has been discussed for a
number Of years. 1t would cheaper
the expenses of legislation probably,
and there may be no need of the legis-
lature converting oftener than once in
two years. 1t is very apparent that
Wisconsin, in common with other
states, is inflicted with too much imma-
ture and needless legislation. If the
biennial plan will 90 away with this
IL might re n good thing to vote for.
The Republican party has taken no
new attitude on the subject Of temper
ance legislation. What it has been it
still is. 1t refuses to adopt as a part Of
its platform a resolution fayoring the
reference of the question Of prohibit
ton to the people. Such q resolution
would be weak. 1t don't mean any
thing. The proper mode Of securing
such action would be by petition. If
the Republican party desires to come
out for prohibition it will introduce a
resolution to that effect, and not one
so meaningless as the one proposed by
the prohibitory enthusiasts. If a.
strong petition is presented to the in
coming legislature for an amendment
to the constitution making prohibition
possible they will probably listen tOI
the petitioners. If they don't, let enc
he elected that will, if it can be elected.
Some one has said that the refusal to
incorporate the resolution was denial
of the right of petition, Such per-
son is thorough innocent or is trying
to impose upon presumed ignorance Of
people. The right of petition is merely
the right to petition. II it implied that
the petitioner was entitled to have
his petition granted, then we would
find that the people themselves would
do the legislating.

There is much talk about the re-
markable ability and discretion the
new President has shown during his
brief administration. The talk comes
principally from the stalwart press,
who are fairly rubbing their hands in
undisguised delight. We confess to
being somewhat skeptical as yet. The
new Presidents career has been alto
gether too brief. bis official acts too
limited in amount and Of too negative
a character to warrant any unusual
overflow Of enthusiasm. Tt may be
that in the choice Of Mr.. Arthur for
Vice-P President The people selected
better than they knew. The whole
body Of Republicans ought to be free
to acknowledge this whenever it be-
comes evident that it is so but there
is no reason for forming too hasty an
opinion, especially as to do so will re-
quire backing down from a similar
mistake made in quite different di-
rection. The new President has been
way IOvtUOHu AL uloCIUciHS HIS LnIUn-
tons. There may be indications Of
wisdom in this, or it may show quite a
different quality. The regard Mr..
Arthur has shown to the late Presi-
dents intentions and his admirable
conduct since that memorable I'd Of
July are quite as much an element Of
this growing popularity as anything
he could have done. People are quick
to recognize sign Of warm-hearted.
ness, and the Interpretation Of the new
Presidents official acts will no doubt
be tempered by the regard he has
gained by such course of conduct.
The beginning is good. 1t seemed
almost impossible six months ago that
Mr.. Arthur could have made such ad-
vancement as he has. Ard yet it is
what he will do, and be that we have
to look to. Confidence is as much a
plant of slow growth now as it ever
was, and doubt must be the prevailing
sentiment for some time to come,
