SOMERS.

Last Friday the longest storm of the
season commenced and lasted three
days, thoroughly soaking the ground
and putting stop to all farming oper-
ations. Some corn is up, hut looks
sickly.. The last three or four days
have been quite warm and sunmerlike,
causing q smile Of satisfaction to light
up the faces Of farmers.

Next Sunday is Children'S day in

The change in the school law, order
ing the annual meeting to be held on
the first Monday in June, instead of the
last Monday in August, does not seem
to meet with general approval, SO far
as my observation goes. July would
seem to be more appropriate, as then
the school year would in nearly all
cases have closed, so that reports and
business generally connected there
with would be in a more complete
form.

deservedly so. Many visitors go to

There is little sympathy expressed
for the iron strikers in their present
movement, The pay they have been
receiving, running between five and
fifteen dollars per day, can hardly be
called starvation wages" The dis
satisfaction has been caused by the
high range of prices in provisions, due
to last years short crop, something
wholly without the control of iron
manufacturers, and from which all
must suffer alike. While provisions
have attained so high a figure, they
have not been accompanied by a CORE
spending increase in general prices.
The uncertainty of the coming crop
has, on the contrary, put damper up
on the railroad building prospects Of
the year, and as a result of this iron
has been creeping steadily downward.
When it becomes little more appar-
ent that the coming crop will be a good
one, and the great railroad schemes
take new lease of life, iron will 90 up
and at the same time provisions will
go down. 1t would then be quite pos
sible for the demands of the strikers to
be acceded to. In the meantime the
strikers arc losing their wages and may
suffer much for precipitating a struggle
at so inopportune a moment, unless a
compromise be effected. 1t may be
that manufacturers will accede to their
demands as a venture and trust to ain
improvement in the iron trade, al.
though at the present range of prices
it will be loss to them. Perhaps
there has never been a year in the
history Of the country when so much
depended upon. the coming crop. If it
is bountful the present intricacies will
speedily right themselves; if again
short great distress will be caused
throughout the country.

late that not only is capito1 dependent

ciate that not only is capital dependent
upon labor, but that labor is equally
dependent upon capito1; that capital
is not responsible for or benefited by
outside influences that may tend to
raise the cost of living, that its power
to pay higher wages is governed strict
ly by the regular laws of supply and
demand, the members of these Unions
will have more definite idea of how
they can better themselves, when it is
best to submit to a little pressure
rather than engage in extraYagant
strikes. There is danger, however that
such men viii not always govern the
operations Of these Unions. Capital
may corrupt dishonest members, and
lead to intestinal strife; demagogues,
with no real interest except the fur
therance of selfish ends, will counsel
to courses Numerically opposed to
the true interests of laboring men,
and politicians will come in for their
share in introducing confusion in or
der to gain votes. It must be admit
ted that the class Of people composing
these Unions are those that in all coun-
tries are most susceptible to the inf1u-
ence of demagognes. They are at
once the sineWs of industry and the
material of revolution, and under re-
straint Of hard times become danger
Gus. Whether these Unions will tend
to make them more or less so is very
easily answered. To argue that the
unions will not be beneficial to labor,
lead to a more just compensation for
the toiling classes, prevent oppression
to poor working men, is to have very
limited views on subject that is ap-
parently as plain as day.

The absence of David Davis from
the Senate last week, to be present at
the bedside of a dying negro former
ly connected with the Davis family,
led to the opening of the delicate
question of presidential succession.
TO avoid the discussion, for fear per-
haps of committing itself, the Senate
adjourned. BY such little occurrences
we are reminded of the fact that a
construction is yet to be put upon
some vague points in the constitution,
including that of presidential success
sion, the inability" problem, the mat
ter of counting electoral votes, ETC.,
that in the past few years have as
sumed such vital interests, where the
real meaning Of the constitution might
affect the suffrages of fifty millions of
people. The need of a definite action
OF congress on these points has been
indicated for some time in presidential
messages and in the platforms of the
political parties. Like Civil Service
reform, they seem doomed to hang
fire until they bring the country to the
verg of war, or to pass down into his
tory as great nonentities that never
had any real existence.

The movement of the Independents
of Pennsylvania promises to make in
teresting times for the Cameron ticket.
From all parts of the state comes news
of sympathy with the Independents
and satisfaction in the ticket they have
put into the field. In the extremity to
which the regulars find themselves
put, Cameron has arranged for a call
ing together of the delegates of the
regular Republican Convention to see
if matters cannot be fixed up some
way. This move seems to have been
received with anything but approba-
ton. The Chairman of the ConVen-
ton denounces it as unauthorized and
uncalled for, and the Idea is likely to
be squelched before it gains any head
way. Gen. Beaver, nominee of the
regular Convention for Governor, is
respondent over the situation. If the
Independents succeed in breaking up
boss rule as thoroughly as it has been
broken in New York, the present
move, while it may so disarrange the
Republicans as to endanger Pennsyl-
yania in the coming presidential cam
paign, will secure a better show for
an honest political organization in the
future. Annihilation of bossism first,
and Republicanism second is the
motto. If Republican rule is to be
connected with bossism it were better to
turn the tables to the Democrats at
least until this plant can be thorough
ly weeded out.

THE KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY. JUNE 0. 1882.

With this number the TELEGRAPH
passes into its forty-third volume.
1t makes us feel quite old and hoary-
headed to think Of it 1t would,
perhaps, be in order to go over the past
history of the TELEGRAPH and review
some of the stirring events Of its ca
reer. 1t would be interesting, no
doubt, to our older readers, at least, to
call to mind some Of the happenings.
it has chronicled in the past forty-two
years-births, marriages, celebrations,
etc. We imagine we could create
quite a sensation by a touching allu-
sion to the birth or momentous events
in the life of some of the old inhabit-
ants. But we refrain. 1t would
hardly be fair to call up in SO public a
manner subject that is regarded by
one portion Of the community at least
with so much delicacy of feeling. We
would be set upon by brigade of
ancient females before we could get
ont Of town and flee to parts unknown.
The TELEGRAPH is one of the oldest
papers in the state. It's first number
appeared in 1910, as the SOUTHPORT
TELEGRAPH and it was given princi-
pally to the chronicling of local
events and quoting opinions from
leading journals. 1t has passed
through various hands and outliyed
many competitors. 1t was issued pre-
yious to the formation Of the Repub-
lican party. When that party was
formed it united with it, and has been
consistently Republican ever since. 1t
is worth something to a paper to have
a record as free and full as that of the
TELEGRAPH. We are glad to say that
the TELEGRAPH is now enjoying a
prosperous and eYen-tenored career.
1t feels quite able to hold its own and
to maintain its reputation as a political
journal, local -gatherer and an
advertising medium.

other sources, and the witnesses persist
in refusing to answer. they viii pro-
badly be imprisoned, as the Committee
have the authority to commit them
for contumacy.
Many persons have regarded it as an
idle tale that there exists powerful
Whiskey combination, with abundance
of money to control elections and influ-
ence the National law-making power.
That any member of Congress has sold
his influence for a money eonsidera-
ton will not be charged, except on I'M
mistakable evidence. But that money
has been freely used in the Capitol to
help the Whiskey interest is now
proven by witnesses, who are them
selves large contributors to the fund
for that purpose. Nhiskey has be-
come a powerful factor in American
politics, and it can be readily guessed
which of the two great political par
ties will hasten to avail itself of this
element of power.
DIOCESAN CONVENTION SPIRITED DIS
CUSTOM
Conventions and associationSof var
ious kinds have filled up the vacant
spaces of time the past week. Most
prominent of the different gatherings
was the Diocesan Convention of the
Episcopal church, which has Just
closed its session. There was a full
attendance; the discussions were inter
esting and unusually spirited. The
convention, like all other Protestant
bodies, was composed of members of
divergent views on matters pertaining
to the church. The different phases
of Episcopal churchism, from high to
low, appear to have been represented.
That troublesome intruder, ritualism.
had a hearing in the convention. Rev.
j. A. Harroll. of this city, who repre-
sents the extreme wing of ritualism,
declared, among other things, that he
acknowledged the use Of lighted can
dies, absolution, penance, the confess
sional, and the doctrine of the Divine
presence in the sacrament. Rev. Har-
rol has evidently got a little ahead of
his brethren, as they did notappear to
sympathize with his views, but mani
tested dissent. The Convention adj
journed to meet in Baltimore next
year. #.

For some time the affairs of Egypt
have been in critical state. The
present Khediye, whose right to the
government has been recognized, if in
deed it were not established, by the
Great Powers Of Europe, is seriously
menaced with the loss of his kingdom
by powerful Secretary. This audac-
ious Pasha has compelled the Khedive
to reinstate him as Minister of War,
and, while outwardly protesting friend
ship and allegiance to the Khedive, is
stirring up the biggest kind of rev.
olution among the people. The infu-
entail people who are interested in the
preservation of the rights of the Khe-
dive are fast succumbing to the infu-
ence Of the Secretary. 1t is rumored
that a petition for the deposing Of the
Khedlye is being signed at the point
Of the bayonet, and Europeans are
flocking to their homes from Alex
andria. France and England are ex-
pected to act in the emergency and re-
establish the KhediVe upon his throne,
even if war results. They are taking
prompt measures to this end. English
war vessels are filing into the Medlt-
terranean, and the feeling is strong in
France for prompt and aggressive
measures. A few weeks will see a
lively war in operation in the East,
which may involve many of the Euro
pean Governments before it is through

fused to reopen the case of Guiteau

lowing language.
In the case of Guiteau, the judges
who listened to the argument in that
case have come to the conclusion they
have exhausted their powers upon it;
that they have heard it patiently, fully
and fairly, and are of the opinion that
re-argument would bring no other con-
clusion than that already arrived at.

1t would seem as though the last
stone had been turned to clear this
wretch from the penalty of his infam-
Gus deed. There is, of course, no pos
sibility of executive clemency inter
fering with the due execution Of the
sentence. 1t is believed that Reed
will apply for q writ Of habeas corpus
at the last moment to delay the execu-
ton.

In the past twenty years Trades
Unions have assumed power and i'm
portance in the regulation of indus
trial interests that renders any discus
sion of labor questions that does not
take them into account wholly made
quate. Political economists have
usually recognized the mutual DEEPEN
dence of capital and labor, but in the
past the control has been so decidedly
in favor of capital that the advent of
Trades Unions, in their present form,
is a new element, which places the two
great principles of all production on a
more equal footing. 1t is not surpris-
ing that this new energy should as
sumo too much in its immature and
inexperienced stage and fall short in
its justice to individual members.
These are things that will right them
selves in time, as the difficulties be-
come more apparent and more atten-
ton can be given to internal anatomy
and physiology, instead of so much
being devoted to the common enemy,
or rather the coadjutor outside. Capt.
tai and labor are in no sense Compel
itors. The only question is that of a
just distribution of the profits. That
labor becomes more adequate to de.
mand a just portion in the system OF
Trades Unions is self-evident truth
1t is by reason of consolidation that
capital has held so powerful, often
cruel and oppressive, sway in the past.
When Trades Unions can so arrange
their internal organism that they can
not only secure just compensation for
their part in production, but that
members OF such Unions may receive
pay in proportion to their ability, faith
fulness and intelligence, together with
the arduouSness of their respective
tasks, and when they can devote some
time to increasing their efficiency as
workmen, leading to higher grades of
skilled artisans, the true worth of such
Unions to the country will become
apparent. The danger to these Unions
will lie in the choice of leaders. If
they are able and honest, and appre.

The investigation as to the existence
of a great whisky ring having for its
object the corruption of legislation
seems to be an unsuccessful search
Mr.. Window will have to back down
or testimony Of a more favorable char
acter will have to be produced. People
are perhaps little too ready to believe
in such an allegation. While crooked
ness enough can be found in the affairs
of the great producers of whisky, this
last seems to be unsubstantiated.

Garibaldi, :" the hero of the red shirt, =
died at his home on the islet of Cap
rera last Friday. No man of modern
times has had a more eventful career.
He was born at Nice in the year 1907.
After making some voyages as a sailor
he joined Mazzini in his plots against
Charles Albert, King Of Sardinia.
Escaping the perilous consequences of
these he carried his sword to South
America, where he fought against
Brazil in behalf Of Rio Grande. On
his return to Italy he aided in defend

self dictator for Victor Emmanuel
King of Sardinia. In his military OPP
erations he is successful; he defeats
the troops Of the King of Naples, en-.
tiers the capital, and dominates a pro-

pie. Last week a numerous party of
wheel-wrights arrived in New York
from the wagon and carriage manu-.
factories of Offenbach. They all tell
the story of dull trade and low wages.

Now. they are doing well if they can
earn 50. But to add to the distress of
the working people within the past
eighteen months the cost Of the neces-
saries of life has advanced SO per
cent on account of the increased tariff
on agricultural products. House rent
is also increasing. Said one emigrant:

lieve that oLe-half the German people
