in Racine city; it is therefore to the
leading prohibitionists of that city we
look for the expected demonstration.
These prohibitionists have stoutly con-
tended they were laboring for the sue
cess of principle. Well, let US re-
count the marvellous results accom-
plished by their persistent efforts.
They have succeeded in defeating
Charles G. Williams. a temperance man,
and in electing john Winans. a Demo
crat of the Bourbon STRIPED They
have added a member of Congress,
from this district who will vote with
the Solid south. They have aided their
share in electing a legislature proba-
bly, opposed to law-making in the in
terest of temperance. They have
helped to swell the triumph of the
whiskey interest, which they profess
to be warning against. They have pro-
badly helped to close the door for the
next two years against the very legis'
lation in Wisconsin which they were
anxious to secure. This is not all the
prohibitionists in this district have
achieved, but sufficient to base de-
monstration upon with music, banners
and speeches. The programme is
awaited with considerable interest.

AFTER THE ELECTION.

The election is over, the tumult and
noise Of battle has subsidized, the smoke
has cleared away, the killed have been
laid aside, and the wounded sympa-
thetically cared for. The people now
sit down and philosophise over the sit
uatiOn, calculate the losses and gains,
and speculate on future probabilities.
Thousands and tens of thousands, on
the day after election, felt as if they
had been suddenly made rich; they in
stinctively thrust their hands into
their pockets, but failed yet to grasp
an additional nickel. They will be
obliged to patiently wait until the
great Democratic party takes hold of
the helm of government. In the COM
ing into power of the Bourbons, every
body will have plenty of money, living
will be cheap, the best beef cheaper
than dog meat. Tariff for protection
abolished, taxes dispensed with, as I'M
necessary deliberations, the United
States Treasury will be kept plethoric
with money and the National debt
paid off without resort to impost
duties, but by some new and hidden
process which Democratic statesman
ship is expected to reveal. When that
jubileeic day of Bourbon supremacy
comes, the housewife calculates on
nice go-tO-church dress; Jimmy will
have a new hat; Bridget and Betsey
will each have a new frock. What a
dull and stupid world this would be
were it not for the contemplation of
an ideal future? What luxurious
banquets are spread in the far-off for
those who are blest with fertile imag-
nations.

COAL AND WOOD.

The use of coal for fuel is rapidly
increasing every year; the importa-
tions at this port the present year
amount to nearly nine thousand TONS
This is not all consumed in the city; a
portion of the amount is used by the
farmers in the country towns. In the
early settlement of the county much
apprehension was felt that the limited
amount of wood in most of thu towns
would soon be exhausted for fuel, and
much inconvenience would follow.
But it is generally believed there is
more wood now in the county suitable
for fuel than thirty years ago. This is
especially true Of the towns of Pleas
ant Prairie, Bristol, Salem, Paris, and
perhaps other towns. The town of
Somers originally had a heavy belt of
timber bordering on the lake and ex-
tending back from one to two miles.
But in that town more recently the
owners of timber lots, we are informed,
have sold them, with the calculation
that the interest on the money for
which the lands were sold will in good
part pay for their needed supply of
coal. The forebodings which were in
dulged years ago of the prospective
scarcity of wood in most of the fore
mentioned towns have apparently
passed away. The rapidity of the Sec
ond growth $50 called surprises many
of our farmers; already most of the
wood brought into market from the
country is of the second growth. Prob
ably twenty years hence the quantity
of wood IN the country will be double
that Of the present time, if the growth
of young timber be properly encour-
aged. The growing popularity Of the
use of coal will tend to lessen the en-
croachments on the groves of young
trees. The wood brought to this mar
ket by lake transportation from the
northern part of this state and Michi-
gan has fallen off in quantity nearly
one-half the past year. Upon the
whole, the want of fuel, which is one
of the essentials of every household
is now satisfactorily met.

Among the cases in Court at the
present term, one of some interest was
called ON Monday afternoon, and ended
on Wednesday morning. 1t was an
action brought by Hollis Lane against
F. w. Lyman &c Son, for damage sus-
tanned by the plaintiff, of a broken leg.
The accident, we are informed, occur
red as follows: The plaintiff, on the
night of February 5th, 1881, had at
tended dance in the north ward and
on his way home stopped at Jewett's
Livery stable. Other parties came
from the dance to procure horses and
sleigh to convey home man injured
in fight. The sleigh was upset near
the stable and the leg broken, in con-
sequence, it was alledged, of bank of
snow which had been shoveled from
the roof of Lyman s. Sons store.
The damages claimed were $4,000.
The jury after a brief absence, re-
turned a verdict for the defendants.
The plaintiff, it is said, failed to show
the accident occurred where it was
claimed the snow bank was located.

KENOSHA HARBOR.

The work on the harbor is still pro-
crossing, and all that is intended to
be done this season will soon be COM
pleted. The amount of the appropria-
ton was $4,000; of this sum about 81
500 will be expended this year, the bal
ance being withheld by the engineer
in charge until another year. The
present work on the harbor con-
sists of a superstructure of 100
feet extension at the end of the north
pier; also work to the extent Of 1874
feet on the same pier, raising it higher,
The constructors of the work are
Knapp & Gillen, of Racine. The pres.
ent condition of the Harbor is salts
factory for our lake commerce; the
depth of water between the piers is
sufficient for vessels of large draught'
During the past year a considerable
amount of dredging has been done to
the inner harbor, and its business
capacity much increased.
The day cannot be far distant when
the increasing commerce of the Great
West will demand large increase of
harbor facilities at Kenosha. The
rapid Developments of the New North.
west will, within very few years,
reach magnitude beyond the most san
guine calculations of the present day.
Ere long some of the great railroad en-
terprises extending into the vast int
rior will make KenOsha point on Lake
Michigan for water shipment to the
East. Not one-third of the channel
circling Washington Island has been
brought into requisition for harbor
purposes. The early engineers who
surveyed the harbor on this coast Of
Lake Michigan expressed the opinion
that the sand bar north of the island,
separating the waters of the lake
from the island water, would in due
time be removed, piers extended into
the lake, and the north mouth of
" Pike Creek" $50 called, opened for
ingress and egress, the same as the
south mouth, thus enabling vessels to
come into one entrance of the harbor,
pass around the island and so out the
other. With this harbor improvement
it would be one of the most commo-
dious on all the lake coast. 1t is no
visionary prediction to declare such a
work will ultimately be accomplished.
Chicago harbor is taxed to its utmost
to accommodate the increas-
ing commerce on the lakes; Kenosha
is nearly fifty miles north of Chicago,
and on the whole line of lake coast be.
tween the two places there is no har-
Dor or safe places for shipment. When
the harbor accommodations at Chicago
are exhausted Kenosha will be the
nearest natural location, it having Che
advantages of being nearer the Great
Northwest. Many an enterprise dur
ng the past twenty-five years, deemed
ar more utopian than what is here
has astonished the country |
~ becoming a reality.

The following, from the Milwaukee
Republican Sentinel, reflects the senti-
ments Of well-balanced and honest
Republicans.
The Prohibition voters were suffi-
GENTLY strong to defeat Congressman
Williams in the First District and Col.
Butt in the seventh. The defeat of
Mr.. Williams was further aided by the
opposition of a large number of dis
appointed candidates for office with
their friends. The kind of a represen-
tative needed in the FIRST District is
one who can secure the appointment of
all the candidates for Postmaster that
come forward in any given city or vii
lsge. Perhaps John Winans being an
Independent, will be able to accom-
plish this feat. Mr.. Williams has been
q good representative in Congress;
there is no stain ON his character, and
no suspicion even that he has ever used
his position to increase his fortune.
When the people of the First District
have had time for reflection they will
see that they have made mistake in
defeating him.
