CONGRESS-.

There comes at every session of Con-
gress, just before the holidays, long
debate over the question of recess of
more or less duration. So it was at
this session. 1t really matters but lit
tie whether recess is voted or not
members will absent themselves,
whether with leave or no leave. There
is always much difficulty in keeping a
quorum for business in Congress even
if the question of two or more weeks
of recess is voted down. To obviate
holiday absenteeiSm, a rule was
adopted some time ago subjecting a
member who absented himself without
leave to penalty of fifty dollars.
The rule is not regarded, as the penal
ty is never enforced. It's strange how
many members of Congress, who were
profuse in their promises before cleo
tion to be faithful public servants.
forget their promises when they get to
the National Capital, and incline to
take matters easily; a few hours
session on the afternoon of each day
seems to exhaust them, and they sigh
for rest. 1t has been often said, and
not without good foundation, that
there is no legislative body in the
world that moves so slow in the BUSH
ness of law making as the American
Congress. There are cases still pend
ing which were brought before Con-
gress generations ago. The French
spoillation bill was introduced in Con-
gress eighty years ago, has never been
disposed of, and was not long since re-
ferred to the Court of Claims; every
member of Congress living when that
bill was introduced is now dead. The
restoration of indemnity money ex-
torted from Japan. which every Presi-
dent and every committee on Foreign
Affairs recommended should be paid |
back to Japan, during a period over
ten years was neglected. The same |
is true of the long-delayed disposition |
of the Geneva Award. And so of |
many claims, some of them meritori-
Gus and some perhaps not, have for |
many years been awaiting the action
of Congress.
Only two months of the present |
session remain, and the great mass of |
business will be untouched. 1t is be- |
lieved the Republicans will use their |
best efforts to revise the tariff laws,
and reduce internal taxation, except |
on whiskey and tobacco.

Although but one of the Republican
members of Congress from this State
was reelected last November it does
not appear to have slackened the zeal
of those not elected for the transaction
of the business before Congress. Rep,
resentative Caswell has never been
more actively at work during any for
mer session than since the beginning
of this. Representative Williams is
at his post as chairman of the commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, attending to
the business of his committee with
earnestness and fidelity. The same
may also be said of Representative
Humphry as member of the Judi
ciary Committee. A glance over the
daily Official Record shows these mem
bers have not become Indifferent to
duty because the people failed to re-
turn them for another term. 1t may
be predicted with moral certainty, if
Charles G. Williams lives to see the 4th
of March next, he will leave Congress
more widely and profoundly respected
by members of the Senate and House,
by Cabinet officers, and others who
have known him in Washington, than
any member from Wisconsin since its
admission as a State. His political
enemies may make q note of it, such
will be the verdict of those who have
been in official life in Washington.

MASS OF IGNORANCE IN THE
UNITED STATES.

Secretary Teller, of the Interior De.
partment, in his annual report, calls
attention to the mass of ignorance in
this country, as revealed by the last
U. S. census. There are in round
numbers 100000 of persons over ten
years of age unable to read, and 1,OOO,.
900 more who are unable to write.
Much the larger proportion of these
illiterate persons are in the Southern
states, but not altogether negroes, as
perhaps some suppose. This mass of
ignorance is an incubus on the body
polite. The vote of every one of
these persons of proper age counts as
much as the vote of the most learned
man in the Union. Here, then, is a
voting power easily controlled by dem
agogues, and therefore a dangerous
element in our free institutions. Sec.
rotary Teller urges the necessity of es-
tablishing free schools by Government
aid in those parts of the country
where schools do not exist, or where
the inhabitants are too poor to support
them. 1t will be cheaper for the gov
eminent of the United States to do
this than bear the burdens of vice and
crime, incident to ignorance. Thomas
Jefferson believed that one of the
greatest dangers to American institu-
lions was to be apprehended from an
uneducated voting population. The
maintenance and perpetulty of this
government rests upon the intelligence
of the people. Whether Congress will
meet this requirement, by the adoption
of an enlightened policy, is hardly
probable. Too much time is given to
watching and checking the movements
of parties on the great political chess
board of the nation to allow of. attend
ing to weightier matters which threat
en- to disturb the foundations of the
temple of American liberty.

The Democratic presses, from one
extreme of the Union to the other.
profess to be confident of the triumph
of the Democratic party in the next
Presidential election, and after that
event we shall have Democratic ma
tional government in all of it's Depart
ments. Well, if we are to have gov.
eminent under complete Democratic
control, the average citizen would like
to know how well and how economi-
cally that party takes care of the peo-
pies interests. Take for example the
city of New York, where the Demo-
cratic party has had undisputed sway
from the present time almost as far
back as the memory of man reaches,
and the following is the exhibit:
1.-THE government of New York city
is more expensive and probably less
efficient than that Of any other city of
the world. There are 5,9S1 persons in
the service of the corporation, who re-
ceive salaries amounting to 1851, 01S.-
II, not including 8, ISL persons employ
ed by the Board of Education, with
salaries aggregating $2,71S,257.92, and
a host of day laborers and temporary
clerks. The fire department costs
about 100000 a year; the judges are
paid $493,500; the police department
costs $3,162,550; the gardeners get $15
1856; the doctors, $21, $3.50; the aldermen
are paid $4,000. The party that con-
trolls New York city wishes to take
charge of the National Government,
and talks loudly about retrenchment
and reform"

RANDALL.
erenceS.

Mrs. George McCalvey, daughter of
S. W. Benson, died at her home in Mis-
souri, few days ago. S. W. Benson. of
Dakota, is quite well known to the peo-
pie of this partof the country. He is
now at Genoa on a visit. He is farm
ing. He raised 1000 bushels of wheat
this year, and sold 900 bushels of it a
few days ago for 81 per bushel. Mr..
Benson does not neglect politics, for
he is a member of the territorial legls-
lature.
Howard Vinton delivered his wool
clip for 1882 to David Stewart last
week. It weighed about $500 pounds,
was shorn from about $50 sheep, and
brought the nice sum of 1870. The
whole flock averaged over TX pounds
of washed wool per head. This shows
what intelligent breeding and good
care can do when persisted in for
many years, and let, therefore, due
credit be given to George Vinton, who
richly deserves it.

A Washington correspondent gives
the case Of a Chinaman who has been
for some years in this country, and
not obliged to leave under the late ex-
clusion act of Congress. lie wrote a
letter to Secretary Folger, making the
inquiry, if he went to China and mar
ried a wife, could he return to this
country? The Secretary replied, un-
der the law he could return. but he
could not bring his wife. This China
man has at least one method: he can
join the Mormons, cross the Pacific
ocean, convert as mauy Asiatics to
Mormonism as he pleases, bring them
to the United States and marry them
all.

who belongs to our own religious creed
and is within our own particular
church fold? Does moral obligation
cease when our own circle has been
clothed and fed? If this be so, then
there is offered reward of food and
clothing to the poor, provided they be-
come members of the church; not to
do this is to stay outside and shiver in
the cold. 1t is not a creditable benev-
Olence that refuses to step over denom-
national lines to aid the suffering. A
morbid christianity looks only after
the destitute of its own particular flock,
and leaves the balance outside to
starve. The Saviour of the world
taught broader christianity than that,
nobler and higher duty of life.
The Mayor of this city informs US
there are many families within the
limits Of the corporation who are in
needy circumstances. Cold, calculating
men will say, send them to the poor
house, who through no fault of their
own have the misfortune to be poor.
AS between death and the poor-house
it is hard for some to choose, especially
those who have seen good society
and better days. Perhaps there are
none now in the city on the verge of
the poor house; it is hoped there are
not, but there is unquestionably a field
for the exercise of beneYolence. The
city authorities who have the care of
the poor in charge are probably not re-
miss in their duty, or before this COM
plants would have reached the public.

The Secretary of the State Board of
Charities furnished statistics of the
poor in different counties. The facts
in relation to Kenosha county are not
stated. Racine county is given as fol-
lows: Racine county has a mixed sys-
tenn of poor relief. There have been
forty-one inmates during the year. of
whom twenty-five remain. The aver
age cost of support per week was 1921.
Racine has apoor house and farm, and
the cost of subsistence is high, because
much of their supplies were purchased
outside.

If Dakota is refused admission into
the Union as state during the present
session of Congress, the reason for
such refusal will admit of no conceal
ment. 1t will be too bare-faced a
wrong to be apologised for. Dakota has
a larger population than several of the
present states had on their admission,
and larger than some states now have
which were admitted many years ago.
No member of the Senate or House
has offered a sound reason why Dakota
should be denied the right Of a sover-
eign state. There has been but one
objection raised, and that comes from
leading Democratic Senators, who
openly declare Dakota cannot be adj
mitted into the Union at the present
time, for the reason that that Territory
has leaning to Republicanism. 1t is
said Democrats, in the nearly balanced
condition of parties, cannot afford to
have another Republican state added
at this time. Is that craftsmanship?
Is Territory of over 100000 inhabit-
ants to be disfranchised and denied
voice in the family of states, because
its voters are in sympathy with the
party which overthrow the rebellion
and broke the shackles of four millions
of chattleized human beings9 Is this
the foreshadowing of the party they
tell us is to come into possession of
the government in 1884? The people
of the whole country will watch with
interest the proceedings on the bill
for the admission of Dakota; perhaps
better counseIs will yet prevail.

SORGHUM SUGAR ONCE MORE.

The farmers of Kenosha seem dis
posed to keep the subject of Sorghum
Sugar alive; which evinces the spirit of
progress. Since the matter is being so
generally agitated, let the investigation
go on until the problem of sorghum
sugar manufacture is fully solved. If
successful, it will keep at home a large
amount of money which now goes out
of the country. Our farmers have no
desire to embark in visionary enter
prises, but in this instance there ap-
pears to be reasonable grounds to ex-
pect realization of the object sought
for. Prof. Henry writes that he can
be in Kenosha county on the 9th and
10th days of January, at which time
he will be prepared to distribute speci-
mems of sorghum sugar to such farm.
