Christ Church.

The brethren of Christ church hay been
doing wonderful work in the way of i'm.
proving their church edifce, which. almost
as if it had been done by magic, has been
transformed into temple of beauty at
tractive and peasant to the eye and. withal.
substantial in every particular. We note
some of the improvements as follows
That portion under the gallery has been
partitioned off into vestibule, which,
when completed, will add much to the
comfort and convenience of the people
who worship there as well as to the SEX
ton and ushers in the discharge of their
duties. The South front of the church is
soon to he further improved by removing
the present windows, cutting out the walls
so far as is necessary and putting in a
new entrance to the edifice. to be built in
modern style and to be surmounted by a
beautiful window of stained glass. A
new walk is to be laid from Park street to
the entrance, and the walk leading to
Oliver street taken up, making the APP
proach to the church much more inviting.
The body of the church has been much
improved. The seats have been reset,
forming two rows, with wide isle in the
centre, and one narrower isle next to the
wall on either side. A part of the seats
are new and the others have been refitted
and painted and grained. making them all
of a uniform appearance. The platform
in front of the church has been extended
to the walls on either side, at the right, as
you face the chanccl, has been placed the
baptismal fount, and on the left the small
organ for the use of the Sunday school
The entire body of the church has been
covered with beautiful carpet, purchased
of Mr.. Farwell in Chicago, by Mr.. Ma.
trau, who went specially for it., not being
able to find one that was appropriate and
pleasing in Detroit.
The wood work. inside, has all been
newly painted and grained, and the walls
covered with putty coat which makes
the room much lighter and far more cheer
full To the furniture in the chancel has
been added beautiful memorial Altar pre-
sented to the church by Mr.. and Mrs.
Tooley, Mrs. Matrau and Rector, in men,
ory of Florence Tooley Davis, born De-
cember 18th, 1856 and died January
23d, 1882, which was recently dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies. The gallery
has, also, been reseated, newly carpeted
and presents IN inviting appearance. For
heating purposes, new furnace has been
placed in the basement. And four new and
beautiful chandeliers have been placed in
proper positions.
The changes thus far made, independent
Of the memorial Altar, have cost a trifle
over 81, 100 and attest the liberality of the
congregation who worship within those
walls, rs we'll as outside friends who have
generously responded in this work of love
for Him who died that man might live
forever in the regions of the blessed.

COUNTY NOMINATIONS.

The proceedings of the Kenosha
County Republican Convention will be
found in this paper. 1t was one of the
largest county Conventions held in the
county for several years; every town
and ward was fully represented. Be.
sides, the convention embraced the most
substantial citizens. both in county
and in city. Although the contest be-
tween some of the candidates was
quite spirited, the best of feeling ap-
peared to prevail, and those who failed
submitted to the decision of the con-
Fention gracefully. In view of the
number of aspirants, the results arrived
at were unusually harmonious.
Now that a convention, composed of
intelligent delegates, representing the
Republicans of Kenosha county, has
falrly put in nomination a ticket, eyery
Republican voter should regard it his
duty to give it his influence and sun
port There is but little use in tina Of.
tempt to maintain Republican princi-
pies if voter, because of partiality
or prejudice, drop candidate of his
own party to vote for one of another.

A NICE LITTLE GAME.

Last week printed notice was sent
to the newspapers in this Congression-
al district, requesting its publication,
announcing a mass convention to be
held at Delevan, a0ithout distinction
ofparty," on Monday, the goth of Sept,
inst, to nominate a candidate for Con-
gress in the first district. The game
was too transparent to entitle the no.
tice worthy of publication. The OBJ
ject of the originators of the Delevan
Convention had already leaked out. A
friend who had been advised of the
trick to be played wrote us last week
that the programme was as follows:
Call a Convention without regard to
party at Delevan on the goth; nomi-
nate John Winans for Congress; en-
dorse him in the Democratic Conven-
ton at Elkhorn on the z7th. Then
Winans to write a letter Of acceptance
as an independent candidate" This
strategetic scheme to befoul the peo-
pie was carried out to the letter, just
as it was planned week before the
Democratic Convention at Elkhorn.

THE OUTLOOK IN THIS DIS
TRTCT.

The movements to unsettle the
minds of the Republicans in this Con-
gressional district have failed to accom-
plish the end designed. The ranks of
the friends and supporters of Hon. G..
G. William, except perhaps in a few
localities, remain unbroken, and will
present solid front at the November
election. The acts of our public men
are always open to just criticism this
is the right of every citizen. But I'M
just and groundless criticism is quite
another thing. Because a member of
Congress does not secure ali Office for
every worthy applicant, or a good ap-
preparation for every sought-for public
Improvement, he is declared recreant
to the interests of his constituents.
But attacks on the private character
of candidate are most reprehensible
and mean. Stories long ago proven
base fabrications have lately been
iished up, by reckless characters, re-
vamped, and put in circulation, for eff
feet on the ignorant. The latest fiction
-, that Mr.. Williams habits of tenn
perance and sobriety are of a question
able character. A more slanderous
falsehood could not be uttered against
any man. Mr.. Williams does not now,
nor has he for years past, drank in
toxicating liquors of any kind. If any
man can pTo0e the contrary of this
he is invited to do it.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

The proper adjustment of the rights
of capital and labor is one of the most
difficult problems of the age. Volumes
have been written, with the view of
solving this perplexing question, but
no solution has been satisfactorily
reached. The interests of capital and
labor both have rights. There is a
spirit of agrarianism abroad, which
comedies only limited rights to capital,
and is half inc lined to lay hands upon
it and demand it's distribution. On
the other hand, concentrated capital
has the laboring masses in its power,
and can dictate terms to laboring men.
The real producers of the wealth of the
country are to a large extent the SER
wants of capital. Hence it is that the
numerous attempts of working men
the last dozen years to bring capital to
terms have almost in every instance
failed.
The latest example of this is the long
continued strike at Pittsburg of the
iron workers. This was one of the
largest strikes of recent occurrence
On the 1st of June last 10000 of the
employees stopped work and demand
ed an increase of wages. 1t might have
been foreseen from the first what the
result would be. A large proportion
of the working men were in moderate
circumstances, many of them poor,
with families to support. The capital
lists could afford to suffer loss by the
suspension of their business, but the
laboring men could not do without
bread for their families. No one was
surprised last week when the laboring
men concluded to resume work at the
old prices, and in worse condition
than when they left off. 1t is estima-
ted that the loss to the working men
during the continuance of the strike
is not less than 100000. Here is an
opportunity for wise craftsmanship to
suggest a remedy for the recurrence
of such disastrous occurrences.

THE OUTLOOK OF THETELE
Ora PHI
A FRIENDLY GLANCE ATT.

Considering the present outlook OF
the Kenosha TELEGRAPH, it SENS to
me that the Republicans of Knosha
county can congratulate themseyes in
viewing it. Its proprietor and pblish-
er is one of the solid business len of
Kenosha, man of great emery and
tact, and practical printer thoroughly
skilled in his trade.
There is no man who so mlth de
sires the success of the TELEGRAPH as
its proprietor, Mr.. J. A. Killen. He
has some thousands of dollars ivested
in it, and his profits on the investment
depend on its prosperity and luccess,
and these depend on it's being made &C
ceptable to the Republicans of Mnosha
county, and controlled in the iiterests
of the Republican party, and mde the
advocate of its principles and policy;
in toto, to be its true voice to tie peo-
pie. 1t requires but half an eyi to see
that any course of action in reard to
the TELEGRAPH, by it's proprietor, that
would be inimical to Republican inter-
ests would be still more seriosly de-
trimental to the interests of it's ,ropri-
etor, as it would be striking adeath
blow to the prosperity of the TELE-
GRAPH.
The proprietor's business tactIn the
matter is demonstrated by ealing to
it's editorial chair gentleman who
represents the highest and bet ele-
ments Of the Republican party Col.
Frank has devoted many of tn. best
years of his life to editorial work on
the Kenosha TELEGRAPH. His anlity,
his fidelity to Republican principles
and good government, and his long ex-
perience fit him prominently fol the
position he has taken. When be was
proprietor of the TELEGRAPH hehad.
if I am correctly informed, a cOstit-
uency numbering upward of 1900 sub
scribers. There are good reasons why
the family of the TELEGRAPH should
increase to that number again. It is
the oldest paper continuously published
in the state of Wisconsin, and is the
second born paper in the state. 1t
numbers among its family of sub.crib-
ers many who have subscribed fol and
read it continuously for thirty FEARS
and more. 1t has seven hundred and
more regular subscribers who have
stood by it through its darkness and
adversely.
By it's advocacy of liberty and union
free men, free soil, free schools and free
press, it has made for itself history
that any newspaper might well fee
proud of. 1t has always been in favor
of good government by and for the
people; it has always promoted good
morals and the true interests of Keno
sha county. 1t has never wavered
never faltered. Ithas always been te
the front, and has never misled its con
stituency. The old spirit animates il
now. The old pen, mightier than the
sword, that has won so many victories
for the right, is moving again ready tt
win other battles.
As long as the TELEGRAPH gives
forth the true sound it shall live in oul
affections. As long as it is true to US
we ought to be true to it. Let us rally
around our old standard bearer Lei
the TELEGRAPH live forever!
r. F. ROBERTS.
