CIVIL SERVICE.

The interminable subject of Civil
Service is troubling Congress at the
present session, as it has done in past
sessions. All sorts Of theories in years
past have been proposed, but no agree
ment has been reached. The princi-
pal points in arriving at a settlement
of the question are in respect to the
manner Of making application for ap.
pointments to Office, the method of as
certaining their qualifications, and the
tenure of Office. The whole matter
just now is involved in difficulty.
Should the present Congress agree up
on q system of CIVIL service reform.
fixing the term Of Office for given
number of years, and prohibit removals
from Office except for cause, the effect
would be to install all the present Re.
publican officers and clerks in the De-
partments for an indefinite time. 1t is
thereforeQuite natural the Democrats
should prefer to wait until their party
gets control of the administration
then the several thousand Republican
clerks now in Office could be summar-
lily thrust out, and an army of hungry
aspirants accommodated with posi-
tions. The latest civil service bill has
been introduced in the House by Mr.
Kasson, of Iowa. This bill provides
that members of Congress may make
recommendations for Office, when re.
quested so to do by the appointing
power. Mr.. Williams, of Wisconsin,
declared himself in favor of civil SER
vice, not because he was going out Of
Office, but because he had always been
in favor Of civil service reform. He
said Congressman ought to be deprived
lof all power to regulate patronage; the
farming out of Offices to influential
friends often causes the members to
lose more support than they gain by
it. Mr.. Williams said he would pro
pose an amendment to Mr.. Kasson's
bill, which allows members of Con
gress to make recommendation for
Office. He would prohibit members,
under any circumstances, doing any
thing Of the kind, under penalty of
$1,000. 1t may perhaps be suspected
this was a bit of playful irony by Mr..
Williams in the light Of past expe-
riences, but whoever supposes he is un-
happy over his late defeat is mistaken.
Letters from friends in Washington
give assurance that Mr.. Williams has
lost none Of his genial manners, and
has never appeared more cheerful than

EDUCATIONAL.


Considering the number of new
teachers at work this winter, the
schools are moving very nicely.
In teaching thepy do not be too
particular about the short sound of
the letter 0. Some teachers seem anx.
ious to earn little cheap notoriety by
teaching this sound as though it were
the same as Italian q.
Mr.. Hosea Barnes gave notice in the
last issue that he would not be able tC
continue the Educational in the Cou
rier any longer, owing to the pressure
of other business. We are sorry, fol
he wrote a good column.

JOSIAH A. NOONAW

widely known citizen, during early
times in Wisconsin, died on Monday
last. All the older inhabitants of this
state are familiar with the name Of J.
A. Noonan. He came to Milwaukee
in 1885, and in 1888 commenced the
publication of the Wisconsin Enquiroy.
During Territorial times he was the
leading newspaper editor; also after
Wisconsin became a state, for several
years, he stood at the head Of the
editorial profession. Probably no man
in Wisconsin was instrumental in
helping so many men to an election or
appointment to Office or the means of
preventing so many aspirants from
obtaining offices. After retiring from
the publishing business he engaged in
other occupations in Milwaukee,
and was not very successful.

THE KENOSITA TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1882.

Attention is invited to a commune
cation in this paper from Mr.. R. F.
Roberts. 1t is commended especially
to those residing in the agricultural
districts. The suggestions of the
writer appear practicable, and entitled
to consideration. The accomplishment
of any good result in community re-
quires unity of action. No improved
condition of society, no Announcements
in public morals, is reached without
combination of effort. This is true in
general education as we'll as in all the
departments of industry.

The National Dairy Butter, Cheese
and Egg Fair, held in Milwaukee last
week, continuing several days, was
said to be the largest and most sue.
cessful fair Of the kind ever held in
this country. Probably but few of our
citizens apprehended that this exhibit
ton would assume so wide an interest
There were representatives from En-
gland, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and
other countries. The display of dairy
products and machinery pertaining to
the dairy business was immense and
instructive. Only a few citizens of
Kenosha county attended the fair
there were few products on exhibit
lion from this county, The extreme
cold weather during much of the time
while the fair was open proved some
shlng OF drawback. 1t is said there
were several thousand dollars worth of
cheese on exhibition, much of which
was badly damaged by freezing, it be-
ing impossible to keep the large Expo.

President-making will be the order
of the day from this time forward un-
til the National nominating conven.
tons in 1884. Probably every state
will present one or more candidates
for this Office in the gift of the people.
The latest movement on the Demo
cratic side was gathering of distin-
guished Democrats from various states
of the Union, in the city of Chicago on
Sunday, Dec. 8. The object Of this
assemblage was for consultation as to
the most available candidate to be put
in nomination for the Presidency.
Whether it was because of the sacred
ness of the business to be considered
that the meeting assembled on Sunday
is not stated. Quite a number of
names were brought before the meet
ing for review, and each in turn was
thrown out as unavailable. The con-
clu5lon nnally arrived at was that ex-
Senator Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana, was the right man for President,
and William F. Villas, of Wisconsin,
for Vice President. The Madison
(Wis.l Journal puts in rejoinder to
this nomination, suggesting Gen.
Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin, and
Senator Benjamin Harrison, of Indi-
ana, as Republican candidates for these
distinguished positions. 1t will do no
harm to put the suggestion of the
Madison Journal into the great politl-
cal hopper, and see what will come
of it.

TO FARMERS.

Prof. Henry, holding his position as
Professor of Agriculture under the
auspices of the Wisconsin State Agri-
cultural Society, we are informed, holds
himself ready to meet the farmers of
Kenosha county at some central point
in one or two days. meeting. Prof,
Henry has acquired by devotion to
the study of agricultural interests,
including stock growing, sheep
husbandry, sorghum manufacture, &C.,
much valuable information. which he
Is prepared to impart to those engaged
in these productive industries. The
more recent developments in respect
to the manufacture of sorghum sugar
ought to attract the attention Of farm
ers. She most scientific investigators
are confident the time is close at hand
when sugar from amber cane will be
produced equal in quality and at a
cost less than is now paid for imported
sugar. Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, Mr.. LIE Due, succeeded in manu-
featuring granulated sugar from amber
cane, not surpassed in quality by any
made from the sugar cane, but it was
attended with too much expense to be
profitable. The objection to expense
Is almost certain to be overcome by
scientific experiment. There are farm
ers who say they understand all about
the business, and do not care to waste
time for acquiring additional informa-
ton. Farming, with all the depart
ments connected with 1t, is as suscepti-
bic of improvement as any other of
the industrial pursuits.

The forty.seventh Congress, which
assembled in Washington on the 4th of
the present month, has more unfinished
business before 1t than any preceding
Congress since the formation of the
government. AT the last session of
this Congress there were 1000 bills and
joint resolutions introduced into the
House, and 1900 in the Senate, making
q total of 5000. Many of the most
important of these are still pending,
and there is no prospect that more
than a small fraction of this great
mass of business will be reached the
present session, consequently after the
4th OF March next this immense pile
OF bills will be consigned to the waste
baskets. All unfinished business at
that date will expire with outgoing of
this Congress. There were 200 bills
lying on the Speakers table at the
commencement of the present session
which passed the Senate last session.

of the election of female County School

school officers, but it does not appear
that the women Of the State avail
