edited the paper. J. A. KILLEEN.
Lest the public (by which we mean
the readers of the TELEGRAPH think
we are playing the part of a comet in
our relation to this paper, we respectful
ly announce that the present arrange
ment, by which we again assume the
duties and responsibilities Of editor, is
but temporary to last perhaps five or
six weeks. when it is expected that
Colonel Frank will take charge of
the paper. His name is a sufficient
guarantee of the intention of the pro-
prietor to run a strictly Republican
sheet. Although our disassociation
with the TELEGRAPH has lasted but a
brief period, that period has been a
memorable one in the history Of Keno
sha politics, for a bloody political crisis
has come and passed, and the despair
ing cries of the sorely beaten host have
not yet ceased to echo through our
streets. We took very little interest in
the city elections at the time other than
casting one solitary, straight Republi-
can vote. III we had been an editor
and vested with all the power and in
fuence that cluster round the local
press, we may have felt different and
acted different, and perhaps burdened
the public ear with different ideas than
those we now entertain regarding the
mode of meeting them, but as for the
manifestations Of our worthy contem-
porary across the street, which may be
likened to those of sick poodle hung
up by the tail in the full sweep of a
tempestuous northeaster, we don't
think we should have done that. A due
regard to our own personal dignity, no
less than the dignity of the large and
respectable body of Kenosha Republi-
cans whom we would assume to repre-
sent, would have cautioned us against
such course. The enquiry has been
made, els Kenosha, then, a Democrat
ic town." We answer unhesitatingly,
"Not much" The Republican party
of the city has played the part of the
Irishman who, having his opponent
fairly down, to secure his advantage has
placed his nasal appendage squarely
and firmly between his opponents
teeth, and of course the Irishman re-
manned with the nose the same as the
Republicans have with theirs in the
recent elections. The character of
that nose and the way it brayed in the
columns of the Sunday Times and our
neighbor sheet over the way IS one of
the things which has played the devil
with all OF our schemes for placing the
city debt question Oh a somewhat bet
ter footing than that which 1t has held
in the past. But as Jeff Davis says
"The cause is not dead, but only sleep
eth" 50 another election will, in due
course of events, come round, and find,
we trust, the Republicans upon their
mettle. The fact that we have secured
some good men on the Board is graft
flying to everybody as residents of the
place, but it is humiliating to know
that that result is due to the good taste
of the Democrats rather than to the
wisdom of Republican management.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Board is thus composed, the schemes
to put the city debt question on bet
ter footing are evidently a fat failure.

1t is much easier to hug the Chinese
metaphorically than literally. The
eastern regions which have expert
enced very little of the bad odor of
celestial customs take the poor crea-
lures to heart in a way that is touch
ing, to say the least. The questions Of
be.efit or injury of Chinese labor to
American industry can never be set
tied, because it is both-benefcial to
capital in search of cheap labor, bene-
fetal to consumers who use the pro-
duets of that labor, including the
American laborer himself, but bad
for that laborer, in that it depriyes him
Of employment without he succumbs
to the pressure and works at the same
low rate and consequently reduces his
wants to things as easily and cheaply
obtained as those upon which the
Chinaman gets fat. 1t forces Ameri-
can labor out of the field or compels it
to degrade itself. Respectable and
fair-paying employment that will en-
able the American to devote some of
his time to self-improvement, educate
his children, and provide comfortable
and enlightened home for his family,
is necessary in country in which every
man has his part in the government.
Such homes could not be provided,
such results reached with Chinese
labor to compete with. The sooner it is
thrown out the better. The European
people and Americans. who are only
their descendants, are ON about an
equal footing so far as their require
ments are concerned. If some have a
little advantage of others, it is only
trihing. With the Chinese it is alto
gether different, and it is much to be
feared that they will cause great de-
rangement in our labor questions and
distress TO laDOrorS before 1t is dlScOV-
cred how incongruous an element they
are. A large locality such as that
Which is burdened with the Chinese
will not be apt to reason falsely or
form mistaken judgment as to the
desirability of keeping or excluding
them. California and the Pacific coast
are pronounced in their demand for pro-
hibiting Chinese immigration, and it
looks probable that their demands will
be acceded to, though Mr.. Arthur has
tried to sit down on them. The COM
ing bill will probably pass with or
without the Presidents signature.

1t has been great and unalloyed
pleasure for a silent outside observer
to sit at the edge of the political pas
ture and See the Courier man 60 in on
his muscle to reform the degenerate
and corrupt management of our city
affairs. There can be no doubt that
he was duly impressed with the re-
sponsibility resting upon him, but he
considered himself fully equal, if not
superior, to the occasion. The vast
influence exercised over the public
mind by the Coarier, with the added
prestige derived from having those
sage doctrines on finance, public
morals, and duties of local officials
spread out weekly in the columns of a
metropolitan journal for thousands of
admiring readers, may have been well
calculated to elate an intellect not over
strong. AT least the Courier man sail
ed in as though he thought to demol-
ish in one fell swoop all the iniquity
in the city. How far his views were
the reflections or rather alterations of
wiser heads we do not know, but un-
questionably the Courier man would
curl his lip with disdain at the thought
of any sentiment not strictly has oa0n
ideas finding a place in that highly in
tellectual journal. We do not wish to
ignore the fact that there was wide
spread feeling of discomfort with the
city management in some respects, and
desire on the part of our most public
spirited citizens to make an advance
upon the present eondl ion of the city
debt. These feelings were clearly
manifest, but the way the Courier man
hoped on the mass and attempted to
be its mouth-piace reminds one of the
fly that lit on the back of the OK plod-
ding along dusty road. Looking
back and seeing the clouds of dust, he
exclaimed, "My God, what a dust
am raising" Whether his exhilarated
imagination saw in the dim distance
possibilities reach out before him be-
yond those usually allotted to man,
when it should be said of him, as of
Hamilton, He touched the dead
corpse of public credit and it sprang
upon its feet, he smote the rock of
national [ciJy resources, and abundant
streams gushed FORTH" we are unable
TO say. Probably some such thoughts
filled his breast when he sailed into
the arena. But alas for human hopes |
The Democratic bull was there. He
paved the dust and shook his tail def
antly in the air. The Courier man soon
went to grass. He expected to take
that bull by the tail and thrash him
around until he should below with
pain and modification. But, unto
ward event, it turned out differently.
And sure" said Pat, it's moighty
foine thing I had me laugh foirst."

Sharon.

A gentleman stated to a Carson Appeal
renorter that ex-senator Sharon has never
heen in a more solid financial way since
tbe failure Of the Bank of California than
at present. 1t is said that all he touches
turns to gold. Should he live ten years
longer he will in all probability be classed
among the wealthiest men of the nation.
While he devotes much of his time to the
augmentation of his already colossal
wealth, he does not ignore any OF the
pleasures in life that money can purchase.
He is a good liver and is generous enough
to permit his friends to ride with him on
the crest of the wave of good fortune.
The e~x-Senator's Oldest acquaintance say
the acquisition of great wealth has not
changed his nature; while his enormous
interests associate him with g different
class OF men, yet he does not forget or
slight his companions of thirty years ago,
however many sorrowful pranks fortune
NAV have played with them. In point OF
business sagacity he is considered the peer
Of D. o. Mills, which is a patent fact, one
proven by the present prosperous condl-
sion Ct the Bank of California and the con-
~tinuous Increase of his possessions during
simes when other millionaires were lost in
the maelstrom of speculation. He IS In
deed one Of a few men Of the century, IN
point Of success.

A wood vendor came in yesterday with
a cord q half of hard cedar on his wagon,
which his two little mustangs either
wouldn't or couldn't pull up the hill

There was every sort Of m~aneuvering and
oil kinds of help offered the driver to get
his banking horses up the hill. ALI. Har-
gs looked on enoouragingly. Big Sim was
out in 4 sun-bonnet and put his hand on
the wheel. Another neighbor, armed with

in pounding the horses to the extent of
their muscular force. The most of the
latter part of the afternoon was thus put
in-time enough to have unloaded and
made two or three trips-when the mus
tangs, getting anxious to eat, no doubt,
put their bellies to the dust and the loaded
wagon went topping and crunching over

Ben Holiday is a feature and fixture OF
Washington. He lives in a beautiful
residence on X street. where he entertains
a coterie of friends in right royal fashion.
His fortune is estimated at from 50, O0O,-
900 to S., 200, 900, so that it may be fairly
presumed that if he should prove success
full in the prosecution of his claim for
$3.50, 900 he will not be in immediate want
for the necessaries of life. He has retired
from business, but amuses his leisure hours
with seeing the congressman about his
claim. Though advanced in age, he shows
no sign of failing in strength or health.
His hair is just turning gray, but his
frame is as powerful and vigorous as it
was in early youth, when he established
and operated his famous overland stage
line, known as the pony express. He likes
to tell of his experience as a pioneer OF
advancing civilization on the Pacific COAT
among the Argonauts of '49.
