THE correspondent Of the London

made 4 thorough canvass of the island,
and estimates the number killed by the
earthquake at 1000. The villagers ON
the south side OF the island are all
wrecked scarcely house being left
standing On the western side many
houses fell, but nobody was killed. The
damage to tile northern villages was
less serious

certain classes. To the extent that there
was any boarding during the eighteen
years of exclusively paper currency,
it was gold and silver that were put
away. Gold is more easily boarded
than silver. because it is hidden in
smaller recesses. The United States
contains many millions of foreigners
who have been in the habit of boarding
their savings. and who would naturally
prefer to put away gold rather than sill
yer or paper money, when the former
is as easily obtained as the latter. The
sad experience which many of the
poorer people had with the savings
banks few years ago probably encour-
aged the practice of boarding IN this
country. How much gold is slowed
away III vaults, safes, iron boxes, draw
ers, stockings and bed-ticks. no one can
tell; but the aggregate must be enor-
NOUS. One thing is certain; the Amer
lean people have the gold which the
mines have been producing and foreign
countries have been sending here dur
ing the past few years. and this fund
makes Il very good, substantial founda-
ton for the general prosperity that pre-
walls

an appearance not unattractiye before
the season closes. 1t looked like too
much Of an undertaking when the Park
Association commenced the civiliZing
process last fall for the amount OF
funds on hand; but, if successfully
carried through, the enterprise will be
deserving Of all praise, and it viii add
very much to the attractions Of Keno
sha as a residential city. There must
be considerable cropping in the dark be-
fore we can rise to the heights. Many
an enterprise commenced in darkness
and uncertainty has eliminated in the
height of success. There are many in
Kenosha looking forward to more pros
porous days and a bright future for
the city. They are working at all pos
sible points to secure such ends. Keno
sha is not strictly a commercial, an
agricultural, a manufacturing, or
residential center. 1t combines them
all to limited extent, and its success
may lie in either. So, while we are
doing all we can to induce manufac-
turers to come, let us not neglect to
look well to our other interests. A fine
park will be great attraction to those
who are seeking a place to establish
them home. We do not see but that
we are in fair way to have one.

About the only subject of political
Importance that is receiving general
and enthusiastic attention in this locali-
ty is fishing" If the iish that are
caught in the lakes west of Kenosha
correspond in the slightest degree to
the big fish yarns that are accumuIat-
ing and weighing down the public
records a government appropriation
will be necessary to enlarge the lakes
or kill off the over supply. 1t is all
very well, boys, to talk, but when you
insist on any sane persons believing
more than half of that little yarn you
c0ncocted on the way home while you
were stringing few half and three
quarter Founders on u bit of hazel
brush it won't go down. The tendency
to eXaggerate is inherent in the human
breast, especially the lisherman's breast,
and when that little two pound pickerel
"ketches on" and you feel him pull and
twitch, you are as proud and happy as
il he were whale and weighed several
tons, and really feel as thought he weigh
ed several hundred. But just take the
scales along, and put the fish on one
side and a few pebbles on the other,
and you will be speedily undeceived.
We don't imagine that this would affect
the story in the least, but it would give
you your bearings and show how far
into the idealistic you have gone.

The people of New York and the
nation will become perfectly sick of
the name Of Conkling before the
Albany election is over, if they have
not already. Ever since the campaign
of 1880 began he has lowered upon the
political horizon 4 black cloud of
wrath, sending his lightning bolts into
the ranks of the party, the unity of
which it should be his duty to preserve.
Whatever has been the cause of dissen-
ton, or whoever the second party to it
be, Conkling is the No. /, the ever
present. The man who stands with
his fists doubled up ready to be called
liar will be apt to have his expecta-
ttaHs realized. This has been about
COnklings attitude q happy way Of
considering himself insulted, il any
opposition is made to any measure he
may wish to see carried forward. If
the people of New York wish to con-
tinue to foster such spirit in the midst
of their political school they show pc
culiar taste. Ifany thing ever seemed
to be polite it would be polite for the
Empire state to lay Mr. COnkling so
high and dry upon the shelf that the
trumpet of Gabriel would not be suf-
iicient to call him back to life.

The protective or retaliatory tariff
question is gaining ground in England.
Nothing short of an experiment will
satisfy the theorists that the old free
trade policy is the best policy after all.
When England finds that by laying a
duty on American breadstuffs she is
simply increasing the expense Of pro-
ducing her articles of export ard Civ
ing competition better chance, she
will be ready to turn back to the old
method. The object in protective tar
lit rs the building up of home indus
tries by shutting out foreign competi-
ton and giving the producer the full
benefit Of the home trade. England
has not the agricultural area to supply
the food requisite for her people, and
a tariff ON breadstuffs would bring
money into the government treasury
oat of the pockets of those she is seek
ing to protect. England already has
monopoly of home trade in all her
great industries. Her past free trade
policy has enabled her to prosecute
these industries and shut out competi-
ton. Other countries may hurt Eng
land by tariff, but England can only
hurt herself.

VIEW ON OFFERING
PRIZES.

In regard to Offering prizes in schools
I can only express my feelings, as I
have as yet had no experience. I do
not beljece in offering prizes to pupils
for scholarship, because | think it is
seldom the prize is awarded justly.
And | think Offering prizes causes a
competition between q few, while it
makes the rest Indifferent. When
prizes are withdrawn, spirit of dis
content is apt to be exhibited. But 1
rather favor offering prizes for pune
tuality and attendance. | have tried
this in my school, and l find the pupils
more anxious to be in their places
than they have been for some time.
l offer awards of Merit" monthly,
and they all seem to make an effort to
be punctual, even those who are accus-
toned to staying out whenever they
choose. But, on the whole, my idea
is that cards and prizes can be wholly
dispensed with, at least in the majority
of schools; but it is very hard to de-
eide what to do in order to awaken a
permanent interest in school where
the pupils seem to be half asleep and
everything lags. This is all l can say
at present in regard to prizes.

kenosha purposes to celebrate the
glorious Fourth in tirst-class style. A
sufficient amount of money has been
raised to guarantee general jollitica-
ton. Everybody will be prepared to
give three rousing cheers for George
Washington, America, and the ConSti-
tuition. Grand professions, fireworks,
test of the artesian well, and attrac-

festivity and pomp will be the order of
the day. The north-Siders will give a

given to instill into the minds of youth
the glorious memories that cluster
round the day of our independence, and
infuse into the blood of old age the old

ticipated in former celebrations of the
same kind. In fact, to sum up, right
good time is to be had all around, and
a big turn out is expected.

The New York election fight makes
but little progress toward any settle
ment of difficulties. There seems to
he little probability that any candidate
will be elected during the present
session. Both parties are determined
to fight it ont on that line if it takes
all summer. Conkling and Arthur
circulate between Albany and New
York city. The thing is getting
mOnotonous. The vote of the legis-
lature is taken daily, but indicates
no intention of centering upon any
man. The sick and sorry looking
members sigh for a breath of fresh
country air and long to be taken to the
bosom Of their friends at home.

How is it about a new Court House?
Rumor was current about six months
ago that there were prospects of new
Court House for the county this year.
Have the Board of Supervisors sat
down so heavily on the project that
they have completely buried it out of
sight; or, biding its time, and waiting
the golden opportunity, is it ready to
spring into life when that opportunity
comes? The Board cannot be opposed
to the project ON the ground that the
present quarters are suitable; they are
abominable and a disgrace to the
county. What. then, is it that is acting
as a counter current to so commendable
and necessary scheme as that of pro-
viding suitable buildings and obliter-
ating that pestilential concern known
as the Kenosha County Court House
and Jail. The prosperity of the county
is certainly sufficient to warrant the
erection of buildings that are not a
disgrace to the county and blot upon
its good name. Committees whose
business it is to examine into the con-
dition Of such buildings in the state
have condemned in unmeasured terms
the diS0raceful thing. and. although
taxation should be avoided and the
draught on the public purse made as
light as possible, there is such thing
as carrying it too far. This question
has been stirred up before and consid-
cradle bad odor has been caused, but
it is the breath of roses compared with
a sniff of that black hole of Calcutta
in which KenOsha county incarcerates
her criminals.

STRA Y NOTES BYA WAYFARER.
Some judgment should be used in
choosing nom de plume. Fair Play
did not do so. The article lacks fair
play. To find fault with Conkling is
to cruelty him, and so of Grant. But
it is quite right to throw mud at
Garfield and Blaine. Now, what is
sauce, etc. Conkling was great only in
managing when he had the spoils. and
the great crowd that are yelling against
him are the voters that want to get
rid Of bossism. Conkling may, per-
haps, enable the democrats to carry
New York, but we are getting to a
state of things when no man, big or
little, can destroy party; and Conk-
ling is by his absurd, childish and
wicked conduct helping us on towards
it.
The editor Of the 7x9 wants a new
party, with Conkling at the head. Just
so. The democrats did not shell out
well; the republicans do not pan out
much better. A new party might
prove better any way. This is his only
hope. '.f4J
