THERE Is a society for prevention of
cruelty to animals and it no doubt is an
organization which effects a great deal of
good. But philanthrophy should go
farther and organize to protect women
from the brutality of drunken, worthless
husbands, There are many men, far
greater number than is generally beiiev-
ed, who make slaves of their wives. They
are made to toll increasingly. Work all
day in the fields, going to work with
their husbands and returning with them
in the evening. This is bad enough. but
this is not all. During the night those
women must do homework, and in the
morning before going 10 the field. The
increase in value of property because of
thier labor, makes them no more wealthy,
nor does it lessen their labor. The Salts
faction os ownership does not add a mite
of relief to the WEAKNESS of their toll.
They have nothing to do with disposing
of the product of their toll. They have
only their most pressing wants supplied
by the masters they accepted when they
took the marriage VOWS. This is what
that sacred contract supposed to &c &C.
mented by mutual love, has brought to
the poor wife. Deprivation of individ-
uality, of independence and of all ideas
of possession of property,-a slave in
stead of a wife. There are fully 800
women in Manitowoc county whose con-
dition answers to the above description.
Our churches busy themselves in abstrac-
tons. Sentimental people gush over the
bereavement of Mrs. Garfield and scien-
fists are troubled lest a murderer like
Guiteau was unjustly punished because
he was irresponsible. Women and men
too, rave about woman's rights, suffrage,
when right here is the widest field for
practical philanthrophy, for religion, for
agitation, for legislation.
When added to the above the husband
is drunkard and abuses his wife as
Rathsack did, it would seem that we are
not living in civilized age. The killing
of Mrs. Rathsack is but one item in the
long series of abuses she has suffered at
the hands of her husband. 1t was the
only deed of charity he did for her whom
he promised to protect when he made
her his wife. Toiling YEARLY day after
day to keep want from her children, rob,
bed regularly and beaten by a drunken
husband, with no hope of relief from
church or state or society, what more
kindly act than that which released her
from such a hard lot? And there are
many women in Manitowoc county to-
day who are enduring the very same thing
Mrs. Rathsack did. But they are I'M
noticed until brutality reaches the cul.
minating point and cruel murder calls
| attention to the abuse which society and
church and state connived at.

The potato roti quite general through
out the state and there is every reason
to believe that the greater part of the
crop will be destroyed. The rot is
similar to that which affected the
potatoes in Ireland, causing those terribly
fatal famines. Prof. Trelease Of the
State University has made an examination
of the rot and gives very full description
of its origin and the best means to
prevent its spread. The fungus COM
mences on the leaf and one field will
quickly infect whole neighborhood as
the spores are blown to great distances
by the wind. They are also washed
through the ground and thus reach the
tubers. Deep planting is a partial
remedy, or bending the stalks so that
the fungi cannot reach the tubsr.
Prompt digging and storing the POTATOES
in dry place is the best remedy. The
stalks should be burned as thus the
spores are destroyed. The potatoes
when dug should be moved often SO as
to pick out the rotten ones.

BETTER TIMES.

The Nord- Weston says: The free trade
party is steadily growing stronger, Sc
that manufacturers of numerous COM
modities can readily see that the time
allotted to particular tariff has well nigh
expired. Now listen to what Mr.. Ernst
Wagner, ST., an old business man and
member of the Wagner & Rand Hardware
Company says: He tells us and others
that he purchased stoves and other hard
ware for fully 25 per cent. less than for
merly and therefore made very large pur-
chases. He thinks every one should be
a free trader as then he could secure
cheaper wares. TT

People look with great deal of
confidence for the yearly equinoxial
storms, Notwithstanding that scientists
say "the crossing of the line" has moth
ing to do with the condition of the
weather. Still the people prefer to be

This year is seemingly without an
equinoxial storm, or rather last years

to get up a respectable storm. 1t has

We propose to let Carl Haw drop
now, but before doing so would advise
him not to lie SO transparency as to
state that we called Germans ssscoundeIs
and lawbreakers." It is because Carl
has at all times shown SO complete a
disregard for truth that we are not
anxious to refute his statement. 1t is
lie, childish silly, palpable lie and
everybody knows it to be such. There
is no need in denying anything Carl

he may find pleasure in his howlings

to making out the bill the learned justice
found that in criminal proceedings a
justice allowed a fee for admitting
the criminal to bail. Hersch thought
bail in one sense was as good as another
and put in his bill for ''bailing out" the
drowned man. This was done after con
sultation with George Byron, (which

SAILING VESSELS engaged in the grain
trade see no cheering outlook in the
fall trrde as steam vessels monopolize
the carrying of grain. Sailors have
demanded rise of 25 per cent in their
wages and this it is said will have the
effect of placing the vessels in ordinary.
A great number of sailors think mis-
take was made in demanding the in
crease as the business done by vessels
will not warrant the paying of higher
wages.
