The Republican County Convention
which met at the Court House in this
city on last Saturday was not largely
attended, there being only twenty
seven delegates present. Several
towns were not represented at all,
and some only by gentlemen who
happened to be in town, recognized as
delegates by the courtesy of the conven-
ton. Their action was very harmoni-
Gus, and, as there was no local. candi-
date in the field against Mr.. Williams,
delegation to the District Convention,
solid for his support, was unanimously
elected. This was no doubt a correct
expression of the sentiments of this
county. With the delegations in his
behalf now reported from Racine
WalWorth and Rock the result in favor
of Mr.. Williams must be assured.
His nomination, which will now be
regarded as foregone conclusion, also
secures to the district it's representa-
tion by an able, upright, experienced,
and honorable man. OF course we
shall elect him by the usual majority.
Let us make it more, if we can.
LATER.-Mr. Williams was nominal
ed on the 10th inst, at the District Con-
vention in Geneva, on the first formal
ballot-twenty-one votes having been
cast for himself, and seven for Mr..
Caswell.

BRISTOL LETTER.
EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH:

EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH:
SIR: The Walkers Prairie folks
ought. to be proud of their little church.
Both outside and in it is a beauty
They have just had the inside re-colored
and it looks nice. To my mind the old
Puritanic practice of carefully alb
staining from putting anything in or
around church that could be supposed
to lead the mind, through the eye
from spiritual thought, vas a reaction
from one extreme and went to another,
as is generally the case. God has
spread beauty all round US, and intends
that that beauty shall lead our thoughts
to Him. Wesley was crowded on Sun
day, and the congregation was as
serious, devout and spiritual as the
congregation in the most barn-like
church in the town. And whist on
the subject of beautiful surroundings,
permit me to say it applies to school
houses as much as to churches. have
seen that gradual changefor the bet
ter has taken place in our town, but
there is room for more. I think Dis
trict No. bears the bill in this direc-
ton, and if all our school houses came
up to that it would be a gain.
feel confident that all other things
being equal a child reared in house
with pictures within and lowers with
out will be better in character and
quicker to learn than one brought up
in bare walks and rough surroundings.
Let us hope that our other churches
will try to emulate the ladies of
Wesley, and give the audience some
thing better than bare disco1ored walls
to gaze on whilst waiting for the SER
vices to commence. VIDA.

The presence in the city of Col.
Frank, so long associated with the
editorial charge of this paper, naturally
reminds us of its early history. The
TELEGRAPH, it may be remembered
with just pride in the intelligent en-
terprise of our early citizens, divides
with the Green Bay Adcocate the honor
of being the Oldest newspaper in this
state. The first issue was dated June
16, 1910, and was sent out under the
management of G. Latham Sloles, for
many years a resident of Milwaukee,
whose able contributions to its col
umns are remembered yet with CRATE
full appreciation by it's early subscrib-
ers. A few weeks afterward Col.
Frank joined Mr.. Sholes in his editor
ial labors, and from that time 10 March
%, 1869, with several transfers and re-
transfers to other parties, he was its
responsible editor-at times entirely
alone, or at intervals aided by the late
G. G. Sholes, whose many labors of use
fulness our older citizens will recall.
We have been much interested of late
in overlooking the old files of the
TELEGRAPH, and in tracing through
its columns the progress of our pleas
ant city and county. An old news

On Sunday last at Wesley chapel. the
minister, Mr.. Logan, preached a SER
mon out of the common line. He
made statement that I have never
heard in the pulpit before: That the
condition of persons in heaven would
depend on their conduct here. The
deduction from most Of the preaching
is that an old hardened sinner saved
just before the twelfth hour was just
as well off in heaven as christians who
had lived a long devoted life in the
service of God and humanity. / know
that ministers, if talked with on the
subject, would assert their belief to be
the same as Mr.. LOgans, but 1 know
that their preaching looks the other
way, and / have been a pretty constant
attendant at church for sixty years.
The scripture is on your side, Mr..
Logan; your sermon / hope will sink
deep into our minds and impreSs us
with the truth that whatever we SOW
that we shall most surely reap. Aver
ice, SANDER, jealousy, hatred, If sown,
will give a full crop. Chinch bugs,
army worms, wet or dry, will not lessen
the crop at all.
Mr.. Burdick, of GAINESVILLE, arrived at
Mr.. A. Gulic's one day last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs and child, of
Chicago, have come for their annual
outing at Mrs. R. NJ. Fellows.
The Willing Workers of Plank Road
church met with Miss Lena Guile last
week. Thus are the girls being
trained to works of beneyolence.
DR.. Buchanan and wife called for a
visit at Mr.. A. Gulic's last week.
Miss Lawson, of Rockford, returned
home last Friday.
B. Sweet, of Chicago, is visiting with
Fred Blackman.
Mrs. Emmerson and child, of Chi
cago, are visiting at Mrs. Il. NJ. Eel
lows.
They say Mr.. Hortonhas the best
field of corn in Bristol. Let us hear
about some other fields Of corn.
Another step in the right direction
farmers are hiring their grain cut, in
stead of buying a reaper. Thus they
save in interest and wear Of machine,
and there are not so many reapers to
leave out to season.

RANDALL

The wind and rain of the 7th lodged
the grain badly in this section.
Lewis Robertson is quite sick. DIR.
Macdonald is attending him.
David Stewart was through here on
the 18th offering 35 cents for wool. A
great many wouldn't sellRt that figure.
The first threshings are watched by
farmers with greatest interest, for they
are indications showing how the new
crop is going to yield The first
threshing this season was at George
Shibley's on the 18th. His barley
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and his
winter wheat "a bushels.
Many farmers have been to see the
self-binders at work in lodged grain,
and they cannot say enough in their
praise. There will be a large sale of
these machines in this section next
season. One farmer says that in three
years from now there will not be a
bundle bound by hand OIL Mound Prai-
RE. The time is not unlikely to come
when farmer boys will know as little
about binding as the girls do now
about spinning.

The word Islam," so much en-
ployed by present writer's on Oriental
affairs, is the generic term of the Mo-
hammedan nations much used now in
speaking of them collectively, as
Christendom is used for the Christian
nations. 1t literally means, " obedience
or submission to the will of God," and
expresses more forcibly even the faith
of true believers in the doctrine of
Mohammed than Christendom does
that of Christians in the doctrines of
Christ. The Islam which Arab Pasha
seeks to rally to his aid by declaring
the Jehad" or Holy war, is the Mo-
hammedan world or the Moham-
medan nations considered as one ag-
gregate body. When the most sacred
formalities are employed for this pur-
pose the yellow skirt of one of the
sainted Sultanas, hanging usually at
Mecca, is carried from land to land to
stir the true believers to action, much
as the "labarum" of Constantine and
the orilamme" of st. Denis were
used by the Christians in the Middle
Ages. This effort, it will be remem-
bered, was made with little effect dur
ing the late Russo-Turkish war. 1t is
now stated that the Mussulmans from
Algiers to India are greatly agitated
by their sympathy with Arab. A
people, however, who are destitute
of modern means of transportation
and without an organized commits
sariat cannot be formidable at long
distance from the country which
they occupy. The excitement in
India appears nevertheless to have
been quite serious and the Sultan has
been compelled to send special instruc-
tions to his representatives there to
explain his own position of antagonism
to the Moslem sympathies and of alli-
ance with their ancient enemy. The
hostile array which these opposing
systems of belief have assumed twice
in the last decade constitutes an inter-
esting feature of the situation, and is
one of the portents of that mighty
conflict which probably can only de-
termine the many difficulties of the
eastern question.

The Civil Service Reform involves
in its plan many suggestions of good
practical import. First it favors long
tenures of office. And we must say
that while there are some things about
Civil Service Reform which we very
much like-competitive examinations
for instance-we do not believe in long
tenures of Office. 1t seems very reas-
enable that a good man who has
learned the ways of the office he fills,
and which he fills well, should continue
to hold the place on good behavior.
But experience has shown both in this
country and in Europe that long
tenures create bureau cracy which
has sometimes proved quite as disas-
trous as rotation in Office" The an
noying restraints of red tape, the surly
indifference of independent officials,
the habit among public officers long
associated of working together for a
common political end, constitute often
a state of things fully as formidable
as the evils it is proposed to remedy.
The "rings" which are so justly depre-
Gated by the people find their chief sup
port in the habits and sentiments which
this system of long tenure fosters.
In the clerical duties of the various
departments of the Government, and
in the inferior diplomatic offices, which
often require special preparation, it
may be desirable to continue the same
officials for long periods in their re-
spective offices. So there may be
peculiar adaptations of individuals to
some special duty which Justify their
long continuance in the public service.
But these are exceptional classes and
cases, and there can be little doubt
that in most of the important offices
more is gained than lost by taking new
men from time to time, imbued with
the present sympathies, instincts and
desires of the people. The theory of
rotation in office" is built upon the
expectation that frequent changes are
purifying in their nature, and that an
opportunity should be frequently given
for putting better men in office. This
plan has not always worked we'll and
is open to some objections, but that
has also been the case with the other
in countries in which it has long been
tried. 1t is not difficult to find a me-
dunn between these, however-be-

The aggregate amount of the super
fluous and wasteful appropriations late
ly donated by the late Congress in the
River and Harbor Bill may be estimat-
ed from 100000 to $5,O0O,OOO, accord
ing to the value placed upon the i'm
proYement to which these are made.
Log rolling has always proved an ex-
pensiVe method of passing even import
ant measures. The only remedy for
this is not to have so many heavy logs
to roll, and d little more muscle and
backbone in the workmen. 1t should
be borne in mind that this nation is, in
theory, nearly equally divided between
the friends and opponents Of internal
Improvement, and that the present
policy can only be sustained by scru-
pulOus adherence to the original prin-
ciple of giving national aid to those
public works which are of national
concern.

in my last communication that Miss
Ray Ozanne, of our town, took the
Lindsay" prize of $25 at the same
time and place.
Miss Della Bishop has gone to
Cleveland, Ohio, with her friends, the
Fortens.
Everett Johnson is here, limping
about as best he can. He had very
narrow escape in Milwaukee a few
days since. While standing on the
track, watching a passing tug and
train, an engine backed up unobserved
and struck him on the side, and hurled
him down an embankment. The Won
der is that he was not killed or badly
mangled.
Rev. Mr.. Norris, the popular pastor
of the M. E. church, will take a yaca-
ton after Sunday next.
Mr.. Hart, father of Mrs. III. q.

The late passage of the Tenants
Arrears Bill by the House Of Lords in
the British Parliament is a splendid
triumph Of the Liberal Administra-
ton over the conservatism and preiu-
dice of the aristocracy. Events have
greatly favored the liberal policy.
The war in Egypt has brought a rich
boon to Ireland. The critical condi-
tion of the Eastern question has COM
PEELED even the Tory Peers to waive
their scruples and rally to the support

our admiration between the Peers and
the Premier The good sense and
thorough patriotism of the Lords in
this conduct are only less conspicuous
than Gladstone's noble efforts to do
what he can to right the wrongs of
Ireland.

The situation Of England in her
Egyptian war has much improved
within few days. Turkey, as it
now appears, will be compelled to yield
to her pressure, and declare Arab
Pasha rebel, while furnishing her
contingent without further reserve
or condition to aid in his defeat.
Before the end of this month
there will probably be 10000 English
troops in Egypt, larger army by about
$4,000 than there were of pure Britons
at Waterloo. The promptness and
complete equipment with which these
are now transported to the banks of
the Nile command the applause of all
military critics. The Liberals are
proving that though they dislike war
and love peace, as friends of freedom
ever should, they can strike for the
honor and interest of their country,
when compelled. as bravely and vigor-
Ously as the "Jingos." The English
seem to be in full command of the Suez
Canal, despite the protest of De Les
seps, and propose to make it the base
of operations in their advance move
ments. Mr.. Gladstone's address at the
Lord Mayors Banquet has given gener-
al satisfaction to Europe and reas-
sured her allies, seeming to promise,
as it does, that England had no present
thought of appropriating Egypt, but
after restoring order and securing her
debt she would hold it for the interest
and subject to the control of all the
Great Powers. This for the moment
appears to have quoted the old jealous
les, but there are too many complied
lions in that Eastern puzzle to hope
that the thread of its acknowledgement
has yet been found. It would not be
surprising if the next issue raised be-
tween the diplomatists should precipi-
tate a general European war. Eng
lands opportunity depends on her i'm
mediate and successful action before
the Russian Bear and the Sultan shall
be prepared to dispute her pretensions.
We observe that the European market
begins to show the influence of this
great conflict.

tween that rush and scramble which
attend the advent of each new Presi-
dent and the freezing, fossilized system
of official permanency. There ought
to be no removals except for cause in
eight years at least. The terms of our
public officers should be so arranged
as not to expire at one time. As in
nation. al, so some similar arrangement
should be adopted in state offices. Not
to be able to turn a bad man out of
Office would be almost as great an evil
as the spoils system itself, and re-
movals by impeachment we have
learned by experience are uncertain
and slow remedies for official miscon-
duct. Except in rare instances,
changes after two terms of Office have
worked well. In many cases the third
term has been harmful. 1t has made
too many men feel that they run the
Government" and that "the state it
is T."

Pairing in Congress on the question
of passing bill over the Presidents
veto works badly. 1t requires two
thirds of all voting to pass a bill. It
thus requires two votes in the af1irma-
tive to equal one in the negative. A
man who favors such a bill only does
half as much to secure its passage by
being paired as he would to be present
and vote, unless he is paired with two
on the other side, a thing that proba-
bly, never occurs. The safe way is to
be present, and each member do his
own voting.
