RECEPTION OF GOV. RISK.

Gov. Rusk, accompanied by E. G..
Timme, Secretary of State, and E. C.
McFetridge, State Treasurer. arrived
in this city on Tuesday afternoon, and
were escorted to the residence of Hon.
T. G. Simmons. In the evening a pub
lie reception was given the Governor,
which was attended by large num-
Der Of citizens. The callers on the
Governor were without distinction of
party, and the occasion passed off
pleasantly. All seemed to be pleased
with the gentlemanly bearing of Gov.
Rusk and the State officers who were
with him. A band of music added to
the enjoyment, and ample refresh
ments were served to the visitors
The front entrance of Mr.. Simmons
residence was embellished with pro-
fusion of rare flowers, and the lawn
in front brilliantly lighted.
On Wednesday morning the Racine
Light Guards arrived and proceeded to
the residence of Mr.. Simmons, where
the Governor was staying; from
thence they marched to the Fair
Grounds, to which place Gov. Rusk al
so repaired. Here such of the citizens
of the county as were present were in
trOduced to him for the first time.
Early in the afternoon the Governor
and party took their leave. The Ra-
cine Light Guards are entitled to IA
vorable notice. They appear to have
had good military drilling, and their
movements were creditable. Espec-
tally was the good taste Of their uni
forms much admired. The city of Ra.
cine may be congratulated on having
so well an equipped and disciplined
military company.

horn. This, of course, they had a
right to do, bu. when it is remembered
that Mr.. Williams is practically as good
a temperance man, as the average of
the citizens in Racine who signed the
call for the Elkhorn Convention, it Ger
tainly looks as if there was something
besides zeal for temperance in the mat
ter. This much we have thought prop
er to say, for the information OF such OF
our readers who have not given atten-
ton to these movements. The friends
of Mr.. Williams do not claim that ne
never makes a mistake; that could not
be said of any of our public men. But
they claim that his record in Congress,
has been as consistent and free from
lust criticism as any member in that

MR.. WILLIAMS AND HIS DIS
SATISFIED FRIENDS.

The difficulties attending a member
of Congress, in the performal. ce of
duties expected of him, are not always
understood. He is expected by some
people to secure an appropriation fo1
almost any asked for public improve.
ment in his district, which is in the
line of Congressional action: he is ex-
pected to find an Office for any one
who seeks an appointment, and to do
many other things possible and impos-
sible. Whether fortunately or unfor-
tunately, the law provides for only a
given number of offices, which are
filed by appointment, consequently
there are not enough offices to go
round, and only portion of those ask
ing for Office can be accommodated.
A good appropriation for a harbor
cannot be obtained by the asking or
begging for, by member of Congress.
1t often requires weeks of earnest
effort to secure only small appropria-
ton, inserted In a harbor bill, and
often the exertions of q number of
members combined to procure aid for
worthy public improvement utterly
fail. The appropriations for rivers
and harbors at the last session were
extravagant beyond reason, but if all
the appeals to aid such Improvements
had been favorably responded to by
Congress, the total amount would have
been ten times larger than it is.
Probably one of the greatest difficult
ties member of Congress has to en-
counter, is the recommendation of can
didates for appointment as Postmaster
in his district. In every considerable
village there are usually two or three
applicants for that Office; they may be
equally qualified and meritorious, but
the member of Congress can recommend
but one of them for appointment. The
applicants who fail to secure the neces-
sary recommendation are, in many in
stances, offended, and become the
political enemies of the member. Such.
if we mistake not, has been the expert
ence of Congressman Williams in
many cases in this district. The late
appointment of the Racine Postmaster
appears to have caused wider dis
content than in any case of this kind.
The candidates for that Office In Racine
who failed to obtain the necessary
recommendation, are respectable and
worthy citizens: they and their friends
naturally took umbrage, because the
recommendation was not given to some
one of the disappointed candidates. It
appears exceptions were taken to the
cppointee, and considerable pains taken
to arraign Mr.. Williams at the bar of
public opinion, for his action in the
premises. 1t was this circumstance, it
is said, which led a number of good
citizens of that city, to enter the move
ment for the nomination of an OppOsi-
ton candidate for Congress, on a dis
tinctlvely temperance platform at Elk

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Wisconsin equal suffrage Asso-
ciation held a session of two days in
the Assembly Chamber at Madison last
week. The meeting appears to have
been an unusually spirited one, and a
large amount of work was planned for
prosecuting the work in the state. 1t
was resolved to organize associations
in all the counties in the state where
now none exist, also arrangements
were made for the distribution of doc
uments pertaining to Woman Suffrage
The Association resolved to stand aloof
from all other issues, and go before the
people on the single principle of equal
suffrage for women.

The meeting of the old settlers of
this county, held at Salem last week,
the proceedings Of which are given in
another column, was one Of the best
attended and successful of any hereto
fore heldin the county. The gather
ing was large, and the weather propi-
tiOus for an outdoor meeting. The
old settlers have now become so we'll
organized, in their plans and purposes,
that these assemblages will be attend
ed from year to year with increasing
interest.
One of the pleasing features of the
old settlers meeting last week was the
presence of the Salem band. The
music of this band was highly credit
able, and gave evidence of musical
cultivation. 1t rarely happens that a
band like this is organized and sus-
tanned in a country town or village.
Many of our smaller cities have failed
to keep active band for the length of
time the Salem band has been held to-
gether. Kenosha city has had quite
a number of short-lived bands within
the last thirty or more years. A good
band of music should receive encoul-
agement from the citizens it is an evil
dence of good taste and refinement,
wherever it is supported.
Another gratifying aspect of the
old settlers gathering was the gener-
GUS hospitality with which those who
attended were welcomed. Strangers
and Others who had not provided them.
selves with refreshments were cordial.
ly invited to tables well spread with
the substantials and luxuries of the
season. Let all the people join in loud
acclaim: Long live the old settlers of
Kenosha County.

The bright looking little village OF
Salem, which has come into notice
quite recently, seems to have been much
admired by the visitors at the old set
tiers meeting from different portions
of the county. The village is new,
and many of the buildings, in style of
architecture, evince the good judgment
of the prOprietors. Two neat and
pretty churches give evidence that the
citizens of the town are not indiffer-
emit to religious obserYances. AL
though the village of Salem does not
possess the natural advantages for be-
coming place of great business i'm :
pOrtance, but for those desiring a quiet
residence, in an intelligent community,
and in village not contaminated with
liquor saloons, no location can be found
superior to it.
