TEMPERANCE.

Rev. J. M. Cleary, pastor of St.
Marks Catholic church in this city, de-
livered an unusually interesting tenn
perance address last Sunday evening.
The church was filled to its utmost
capacity, and the audience was held
with riveted attention for nearly two
hours. Rev. Mr.. Cleary occupies a
prominent position in the temperance
movement among the Catholic popula-
ton. He is the President of the Wis
consin Catholic Total Abstinence AS.
ISOLATION, also Vice President of the
National Catholic Total Abstinence
Association. He is an eloquent speak
err, not mere theorist, but fortifies his
arguments with statistics and incon-
trovertible statements. His address on
Sunday evening could hardly have
failed to impress his hearers of the i'm
portance of action to avert the evils of
intemperance. At the conclusion of
his address he invited the young men
and those over fourteen years of age
belonging to the congregation of the
Catholic church to come forward and
take the pledge; over eighty re-
sponded. The Rev. gentleman declares
it his purpose to carry the work for
ward until every good Catholic in his
congregation takes the pledge.

CHURCH DEDICATION.

The German Methodist church in
this city was dedicated on Sunday last.
The dedicatory services were per-
formed by Rev. DR.. Lamke, editor of
the Christian AplogGte, Cincinnati.
Although DR.. Lamke is German, and
editor of a German paper, he speaks the
English language with ease and fuency.
All the exercises were in English. The
church is neat gothic edifce, with a
tower of moderate height. The build
ing is completed throughout, both out
side and inside. The slips are finished
natural wood color and vanished.
The church has a gallery tastefully ar
ranged at one end; the windows are Of
an attractive pattern: the seating
capacity is two hundred and fifty. The
congregation is not large or wealthy,
and the members are entitled to much
credit for liberality in building so neat
an edifice at cost of $1,000. A small
Indebtedness still remains on the house.
and all friends outside of the demon
ination are appealed to for aid in the
liquidation of the debt.

HON. G. G. WILLIAMS.

Republican andidate for Congress, adj
dressed a large audience in Kimball
Opera House last Tuesday evening.
He spoke two and half hours, and
held the close attention of his hearers,
a considerable portion of his speech
being devoted to the Vindication of
his character from the slanderous as
saults recently made upon him. This
is the first political campaign during
the past ten years in which any politi-
Cal opponent has ventured to say a
word in disparagement of his private
reputation. 1t is therefore the first
time in his political history in which
he has felt called upon topublicly refute
the imputations of his enemies. 1t IS
not singular that Mr.. w. should feel
sensitive, in view of the fact that he
has all his life time striven to preserve
an unsullied character. Mr.. Williams
defined his position so clearly on the
issues of the present campaign that
no one can complain of him for eva
sion or want of directness. 1t is i'm
possible in the limited space of our
paper to give even a general outline of
his remarks. Before the end of the
present campaign, Mr.. Williams will
address the voters at some convenient
point in the interior of the county,
and it is hoped the people will embrace
the opportunity to hear him.

A number of farmers desire to have
attention called, through the columns
of the TELEGRAPH, to the alarming
spread of the Canada thistles in
different portions of the county. 1t is
said the yearly increase of this weed,
especially the past two years, threatens
to Overrun the lands generally. In
excusable carelessness of land owners,
in allowing thistles of this kind to
ripen on their premises and scatter
their seeds, is just cause of complaint
1t requires something more than mere
remOnstrance with those who make
no effort to exterminate or prevent
their spread. A rigid law with proper
penalties is demanded to prevent in
calculable damage to the farmers of
the county. 1t is suggested that it
would be sound precautionary meas
ure, to instruct the candidates for the
legislature to use their efforts to OBJ
tain suitable enactments to abate the
evil complained of.

BRISTOL.

The basket festival last week at Mr..
Abram Gulick's was very pleasant
affair as well as a success financially.
Mr.. Will Creaney acted as auctioneer,
and the bidding was spirited. Several
of the baskets were knocked down at
the low price of upwards of three dol
lars. The auction afforded much
amusement, but the solid joy came in
when the contents of the baskets were
attacked by good appetites. There
were present from Kenosha Mr.. and
Mrs. o. G. King, Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Moore, Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Hazelton, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Head, Rev. L. Miller
and Mr.. Ed. Hollister.
The Ladies' Missionary Society of
the Congregational church met with
Mrs. Fl. M. COrsbie at the parsonage
on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. M. O. Myrick and Mr.. J. d. Fow-
Ter attended the Waukegan Fair on
Friday.
The party given on Friday evening
of last week by the Misses Clara and
Ellen Bishop was one of the pleasant
est society events of the season. Near
ly sixty guests responded to invitations
by their presence, and the large parlors
OF Mr.. j. P. Bishops home were the
scene of gaiety and animation until a
late hour. The refreshments were
abundant, and embraced minced ham,
sandwiches, pickles and coffee, various
kinds of cake and ice cream, peaches
and grapes. After the party the Misses
Bishop very kindly remembered the
sick, and Mrs. Fairbanks was made the
recipient of many delicacies, including
peaches and grapes.
On next Sunday morning Rev. III. M.
Corsbie will preach the third of the
series of sermons On the Life and
Times of David.
The Free Congregational Society of
Bristol and Paris adopted congrega-
tiOnal singing by vote last Sunday.
The singing will be led by the old-time
chorister, Mr.. L. M. Thayer.
In connection with the Rev. H. M.
COrsbie's sermons on David it would
be interesting to have critical review
of the spirit exhibited in David's
psalms. In them he prays much for
his enemies, but it is for their over
throw and destruction. The piety of
this kind of praying is doubted by
some.

1t appears the no party mass conven-
ton which met at Delevan to nomi-
nate an Independent candidate for Con-
gress was composed almost entirely of
Democrats, gathered from small dis
trict of country. The few Republicans
who took an active part in the meeting
were disappointed applicants for the
Office of Postmaster, whom Williams
had failed to recommend. 1t was I'M
derStood from the beginning that the
object of the no-party mass convention
was to bring out a Democratic candi.
date for endorsement by the regular
Democratic convention at Elkhorn,
and so it proved.

POLITICAL ISSUES, OLD AND
NEW.

There is much said about the aban-
donment of old party lines, and of new
issues coming before the people. No
good citizens should desire the continu-
ance of old party issues which are no
longer necessary for the maintenance
of good government. But those who
declare that all old party questions
have passed away err most eyre
giously. 1t is true, there are questions
of national policy which in former
years stirred the public mind, and
arrayed the people in hostile lines, and
that many of these causes of differ
ence have ceased to exist. 1t is wise
to throw aside all political issues
which are no longer profitable. How
ever desirable it may be to have ex-
emption from political strife, it is
dangerous for the Republican party to
lay aside its armor until the field of It's
past efforts has been carefully sur
veyed. The Republican party achieved
brilliant successes during the terrible
strife of the rebellion; it has since in
augurated measures of financial policy,
under which the country has been
highly prosperous. 1t will not be
claimed the Republicans subdued the
uprising which threatened the life of
the union, unaided by patriotic
northern Democrats, but it is undeni-
able that there was large element of
the latter class which threw obstacles
and impediments in the way of the
success of our northern armies.
We have no disposition to resurrect
what may we'll be forgotten, but insist
there are still national wrongs remain
ing, which it is the mission of the Re-
publican party to correct. If the party
adopt new issues, which it probably
will, the old unsettled ones must not
be abandoned. The agitation cannot
cease until every man, white or colored.

PROHIBITORY LIQUOR LAW.

All state government recognize and
exercise the right to legislate in the
matter Of the liquor traffic, and it is the
prerogative of the people to determine
what that legislation shall be.
1t is the duty of legislators to obey
the clearly expressed will of their con-
stituents. The people are the true
source of legislative power, and their
representatives have no right to ques,
ton their intelligence when they de-
mand the enactment of given law.
A general law, to be effective les
pecially prohibitory liquor law, must
have the certainty of being in accord
ance with the demand of the people,
otherwise its attempted enforcement
will prove damaging to the cause it is
intended to benefit. Therefore it is
that the will of the people should be
ascertained at meeting in each town
and ward, separate from all other ques-
tions and political issues.

A FALSEHOOD NAILED.

The Convention which nominated
John Winans, the Democratic candi-
date for Congress, charged in its plat
form that Hon. G. G. Williams voted
for the $4,000 bill incurred at the
funeral of President Garfield. Mr..
Williams declares that he never advo-
Gated, discussed or voted for the bill,
and prOnounces the charge made by the
Democratic Convention a falsehood.
Public decency demands that the Con-
vention should either prove their ac-
cusation true, or retract the falsehood.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS- IN THIS DISTRICT.


One of the most extraordinary NOM
nations for Congress noticed the pres
ent fall was made by the Democratic
Convention at Elkhorn last week.
How any man with the political record
of John Winans could have been sc.
lected from the Democratic ranks in
this Congressional district is passing
strange. There are enough Democrats
of responsibility with loyal records
why they should have been ignored,
and an old disloyalist picked up for a
candidate, will puzzle thepeople. That
our patriotic Democratic friends in this
county will vote for John Winans can
not be believed, unless the election in
November shows otherwise.
The following is taken from the Chi.
cage Inter Ocean, which accords with
what others say of his political history
1.-THE man Winans, who has been
nominated for Congress in the First
Wisconsin District as an "Indepen-
dent" candidate, is remembered as one
of the rankest old Copperheads and
rebel sympathizers that were in Wis
consin during the war. He attended
the notorious "peace" convention here
in 1854, shouted for Vallandigham, and
came near being mobbed by loyal citiz-
ems because of his traitorous utter
ances. The soldiers of the First Dis
trict and every citizen of either party
who sympathized with the war and
hated treason, and there were very few
who didn't, will make it interesting
for Winans when his record is recalled
and rubbed up. He is a queer candi-
date for the independents" to put up
to draw Republican votes from a man
like Charley Williams. Winans should
get Jeff Davis to come North and
stump the district for him.

OBITUARY.

Died. in Pleasant Prairie, Sept. 18th 1882,
of heart disease, Charles Dahbs, aed SO
years months and IL days.
The sad and unexpected news of thedealh
of Mr.. Charles Dabbs, of the town of
Pleasant Prairie, was received by our citizens
with profound surprise, for, although he had
been under the care of physician for two
weeks, he was thought TO be improving.
Only few hours before he breatled his
last, he sat up and conversed cheerfqlly for
over an hour with his wife and family, tell
ing them in q short time he would BE- well
enough TO resume his accustomed duties.
The deceased was born in Wells, Somerset
shire county, England, Dec. 1st, 1922.
When only three years old he suffered the
great loss of both parents within shot time
of each other. He, with an older sister
were cared for by grandparents and other
relatives. At the age of IA he was ambitious
and anxious to earn his own living. He
held several positions of trust, one ofwhich
was letter carrier in England.
He married, when quite young, Mis- Ann
Gould, who was schoolmate. Being
anxious to improve his fortune, he, with his
wife and small family, came to America,
arriving in Wisconsin July Sd, 1850. For q
short time he remained in Milwaukee. Not
being satisfied there, he moved to Southport,
as Kenosha was then called, and soon settled
in Pleasant Prairie, where he has since re-
sided.
He leaves a wife, six daughters and two
sons to mourn his loss. Four of his daughters
are married and very comfortably settled
within few miles of his home, one teaches
in Chicago, and the youngest, with his two
sons, gladden. his home.
Affable, kind and gentle, he travelled
through life with friends and without enc
mics, good citizen, kind neighbOr, and
loving husband and father. He was gener-
GUS and liberal to faalt no sufferer was
ever turned empty-handed away from his
door.
He was member of the I. o. O. F.
Lodge, Kenosha, and was buried according
to their rites. The funeral services were
held at his home Sept. Goth. The attend
ance was very large, and the floral offerings
numerous and handsome. Rev. Richard
Miller, of Kenosha Congregational church,
took for the basis of his remarks on the
character of of the deceased Cor, 81
The choir effectively sang I" Ono by one,''
&c Beyond" and $50, Bury Thy Sorrow"
The funeral procession then formed. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. Chas. Frantz, P.
NJ. D. B. Benedict, County Clerk; S. Hast.
ings, J. Barr, John Smith and I. C. Peterson.
Some forty carriages of mourners and
friends followed the remains to the beautiful
cemetery in Kenosha, where the last of earth
was consigned to the tomb. Natural in
death as in life, " he sleeps the sleep that
knows no waking" and may the clods of the
valley rest lightly upon his grave.
We only know that thou hast gone,
And that the same relentless tide
Which bore thee from us still glides on,
And we who mourn thee with it glide.
