If any body wants to know what
kind of time the man who didn't
have any editorials in the paper last
week had up north, will say that he
had good time. worth more to him
than money will buy. He saw some
as fine farms as lie out doors, and as
fine farming as is done out doors, and
got acquainted with some of the finest
farmers that live out doors, OF in doors
either. If any one doubts this let him
take trip into that little triangular
portion of Fond du Lac County that is
inclosed by the Sheboygan and Fond
du Lac, the Wisconsin Division of the
Chicago and North Western, and the
Berlin Division of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railroads. Ripon, one of
the handsOmest little towns in north
eastern Wisconsin. is situated at the
west angle of this triangle, Fond du
Lac at the east, and Bennett Junction at
the southern point. Now, if any body
imagines that's slow country up
there, just let him go up there and ride
around and gaze around and talk with
the farmers and he will recover from
any such delusion. Fond du Lac
County is large wheat raising
county, but the farmers up there begin
to see that they must go into some.
thing else. Only the most favorable
circumstances bring forth a full crop
of No. wheat. A large amount of
barley is raised. Corn, oats, timothy
and clover are the remaining staples.
They are raising some sugar cane this
year. Fond du Lac County ranks
high in the production of cheese.
There are numerous factories. From
six to twenty and forty COWS are kept
for cheese-making purposes by each
farmer. The cheese-making art is I'M
derstood to perfection. Every farmer
has his flock of sheep, but their cattle
and sheep are not as well tended nor
of as choice quality as they might be,

The House of Lords, which at first
showed such disposition to amend
the Land Bill, have been obliged to
capitulate. The Commons were firm
in adhering to the bill as it passed
that body and allowing very slight al
teration. The bill has now passed
both Hou ses, and it remains to be seen
how far its measures will ameliorate
the tro uble in Ireland, and bring about
a better relation between land owner
and tenant. It cannot be doubted that
the law has been so altered as to give
the tenant a much better opportunity
to become independent, to enjoy the
full fruits of his labor, to be free from
the fear of eviction, to enjoy at fair
rent the land necessary to his existence
in Ireland. The struggle that has been
necessary to secure HIM these privi-
leges has been enormous. The untir-
ing patience with which Mr.. Gladstone
has fought it through, resisting the
combined assaults of the Lords and
Radicals, inspires new confidence in
him. He is one of the grandest old
men that have ever figured In English
politics. The successful operation OF
the law will be fought equally hard
with the passage of the bill. With
what tremendous throes do govern
ments of late years secure the passage
of laws wholesome and necessary
to the public good. All the tremen.
dous forces of bribery, the cunning OF
political strategists, the influence OF
corrupt lords are hurled against them
and it is only by the same effort that
laws the most obnoxious and violent to
the rights of the people are met and
defeated.

whether it is because it don't pay to
stock up with the best breeds or for
other reasons I can't say. The horses,
too, are not the heavy, powerful ami
mails that of late years farmers in many
localities have taken to buying, but
they are tough and well kept animals,
and do their work in good shape. The
old rail and board fences are giving
way to wire fence. There are miles
of it in the county. Many farmers
prefer mixture of wire ana board.
Some fences have board bottoms and
wire tops, others board tops and wire
bottoms. The board bottoms are con-
sidered better for sheep pastures.
This article has taken somewhat of
an agricultural turn. We would be
glad to make it an initial one of a
series of agricultural articles, if our
farmer friends in this locality will
suggest something that will be of prac-
tical value or interest to the farmer
readers of the TELEGRAPH. We be-
lieve that the experience of home agri-
culturalists on subjects pertaining to
farming in any locality is of more
value to the farmer than any imported
article that can come from a country
differently situated and with different
circumstances to deal with.

The pages of the TELEGRAPH this
week show that the popularity of Capt.
Timme as candidate for Secretary of
State is not bounded by the county
lines of this county; that his merits
have gained deserved recognition
throughout the entire state. AS a
public officer he has always discharged
his duties in an honorable and efficient
manner. AS citizen he has ALWAYS
deserved and received the confidence
Of his friends, neighbors and acquaint-
ances. The empty sleeve tells the
story of his faithfulness as a soldier
His education is ample, both English
and German, to meet the requirements
of the Office. His pleasing personal
appearance and genial nature fit him
well for the social needs of the posi-.
ton. This county can ill afford to
spare the captain from the office he has
filled so long and honorably; but the
duties he has so faithfully discharged
as County Clerk OF this county for the
past fourteen years indicate what NAV
be expected of him in the higher
capacity of Secretary of State: and
what is county loss will prove a state
gain. The position is an honor un.
sought by the captain. He has simply
endeavored to deserve well in his
capacity of public official by guard.
ing faithfully the interests that have
been placed in his charge. The Office
coming unsought, laid at the feet, as il

to his candidacy. n

There will be convention repre-

state ticket, consisting of candidates
for governor and other state officers,
to be supported by the party at the

properly come before the convention.

qua. He is man Of unquestioned
ability and strictest integrity, and his
reputation is without a blemish. He
has been County Clerk of Kenosha
County since 1865, and is heartily en-.
dorsed by his Democratic friends
Only at one election he had opposition,
and his competitor received but sixty
eight votes in the entire county.
Capt. Timme is a gentleman whose
election would honor the Republican
party and the First Congressional Dis

Capt. E. G. Timme is leading in the
