Two events occurred on New Years
day, Monday last, each of which created
profound sensation in this country
and Europe. Gambetta, the leading
statesman, orator and journalist of
France, died on New Years day. He
had been for years the controlling spirit
of the French nation, he was instru-
mental in shaping the policy of the
government and guiding its national
legislation. What Gladstone is to
England and Bismark to Germany, so
was Gambetta to France. Each re-
markable men, each possessing differ
ent qualities, and each welding emil
nent power.
The death of the Hawaiian minister,
Mr.. Allen, at the White House on New
Years day, was startling event. He
dropped dead while in attendance at
the Presidential reception, being at the
time in apparent health. The rooms
of the mansion were thronged with
foreign diplomats with their families,
with U. S. officials and distinguished
persons. The moment his death was
known the music of the bands ceased,
the congratulatory voices sounding
through the halls were hushed, the
brilliant reception ended, and the crowd
Of visitors departed.

HIGH LICENSES.

Since prohibition for the suppression
of intemperance met with 80 much
disfavor at the November election,
many of the friends of temperance
regard high licenses as the next most
practicable measure for diminishing
the use and traffic in Intoxicating
liquors. While legislation for high
licenses is not free from moral objec-
ton, it is perhaps as feasible for the
accomplishment of what temperance
people are laboring for as any method
that can be sustained in the present
state Of public opinion. 1t is stated
that the subject of high licenses will
be pressed on the Illinois legislature
by the friends of temperance in that
state, fixing the minimum price of
license at $500. 1t is claimed this will
drive out the lower classes Of drink
ing saloons, and place the business In
the hands of more responsible parties.
Some of the leading friends of temper
ance in this vicinity are favorably in
clined to high license, believing it a
practicable measure.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
FOR JUDGE.

Inasmuch as the subject of independ-
ent candidates for judicial Office Is be-
ing brought to the attention of the
people, it would be interesting If some
lawyer would rise and explain, for the
information'of the unlearned, what il
meant by the phrase independent
candidate" Is it understood that
putting Republican or a Democrat
In nomination as an independent can
didate for a judge of the Court, and
electing him, thereby eliminates his
politics out of him ? Is there anv.
thing in the fundamental law of the
State that favors the election o: judges
without reference to party, more than
any other office? Have judges elect
ed as independent of party been less
suspected of political partiality in
their judicial duties than those elected
as Republicans or Democrats d? Justices
of the Peace are judicial officers, and
it is just as proper for a few persons
whose business brings them into JUS
tice Courts to circulate call for their
preferred candidate to accept the office,
instead of by general usage, leaving
the matter to the unbiased expression
of the people. If there he a sound
reason why judge should be elected
on different political basis than that
of a State Senator or Governor, the
people should be enlightened in the
matter.

We would inform those persons who
seem to find it difficult to reconcile
science with the Bible, that there is no
antagonism between them, nothing
but perfect harmony and accord.
When Science and Revelation are
brought together by men of learning,
such as Professors Hitchcock, Doremus,
Herschel, Keppler and Sir Isaac New
ton, there exists between the two a
perfect agreement. The Bible has not
yet and never will suffer by the dis
coveries of science; the fact is, they
are twin sisters, and the only differ
ence between them is, that Revelation
was born frst and Is the stronger and
most beautiful of the two. Don't give
up the Bible; it Is the foundation of
our civilization, and without it we
would be in darkness equal to that of
the most benighted nations on earth.

The statement has been so repeated
ly made for political effect, by
Democratic members of Congress and
by Democratic newspapers generally,
that clerks in the departments at
Washington were turned out of office
for refusing to contribute for political
campaign purposes, many persons were
really disposed to believe it true. 1t is
strange that those who, having the
means of knowing better, should so
long persist in giving currency to this
unmitigated humbug. Senator Beck,
of Kentucky, who had so frequently
made the assertion, was challenged by
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, a few
days ago, to produce a single case
where removal from Office had been
made for such a reason. Beck has not
responded, although urged to set about
finding at least one case of such re-
moYal, to make good his often-repeated
assertion.

WISCONSIN, LITERARY LADIES


Wisconsin has literary lady writers
for newspapers and magazines, who
bear favorable comparison with those
in other states. Miss Jane Eustis Jen.
nings, whose home is Monroe, Green
County, Wis, has for several years
corresponded for papers of the first
class in the eastern states. She was
for a considerable time the Washing
ton society correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, and for years has been
a regular contributor to the Hartford
CotIfGnt. Miss Lille Seidmore who
belongs to Madison, in this state, is a
lively correspondent, has written for
various city papers, and her services
as correspondent for the press has
been much in demand. She is still
quite young. Both of these ladies
have their headquarters for writing
in Washington, where they have &C
cess to the latest phases Of Congress
sional matters, as we'll as the inner
life Of society. They both have estab-
lished regulations in literary circles in
the line of their vocation; they do
not attempt poetry, but write only
prose. Miss Ella Giles and Miss
Wheeler, of Madison, in this state,
have both obtained considerable emin-
ence as writers. The former has writ.
ten some clever unobjectional novels,
which have had much circulation.
The latter is the author of poetical
works of merit. Other names might
be given to swell the list of popular
lady writers in Wisconsin.

5" WHERE ARE THE BOYS
THESE LONG WINTER
EVENINGSY'

A friend sends us the above as a
text for a brief commentary at this
season of the year. Where the boys
are these long winter evenings in
wolves their future destiny, foretells
their success and responsibility in life,
or foreshadows their shame and dis.
grace in manhood. Parents, do you
know where your boys are, and what
the society they keep? On you rests
the responsibility of knowing where
they spend their evenings, and who
are their associates. The doors of
vice and dissipation are open night and
day; every ruinous influence which
human ingenuity can devise is brought
to bear to lead the young astray. The
road to degradation and destruction is
thronged by multitudes of boys, whose
fathers and mothers know it not, nor
perhaps even suspect it. The tempta-
lions to wrong-doing are an hundred
fold more enticing now than years ago,
because vice is increasingly gilded
from year to year in new and more at
tractive forms. Parents, it is not
enough TO be told your boys do not
drink or gamble while they are out at
evening. If they are only mere look
ers-on where these things are prac-
ticed, they are venturing on the verge
Of a whirlpool, where they are con-
stantly liable to be drawn into the
treacherous current. There are doubt
less fathers and mothers in Kenosha
city and county who to-day with sad
hearts deplore the waywardness of
sons who strayed away from home in
fuences, lost their good name, and are
cast abandoned on the worlds wide
stage.
Mother, does your boy dislike to re-
main at home these long winter nights ?
If so, the fault Is chiefly yours; he
should find at home all the innocent
attractions and amusements his nature
craves-books, pictures, games, music.
plays, occasionally inviting congenial
companions, to enliven the evening
hours. How grand the advantages
of the winter evenings to those
who rightly use them! Many a
statesman laid the foundation of
future greatness, sitting by the even
ing lamp. Such an one was presi-
dent Garfield, who in his boyhood days
spent his nights at home. Make home
more attractive by kind words and at.
fractions than the drinking saloons
ard the gambling rooms; then there
will be no sleepless nights and painful
questionings at midnight hours,
where is my boy?" Do you say it
costs money to provide the proper
home attractions? Not much; only
little expense may produce results of
incalculable value. If the father be
in the practice of indulging only in an
occasional glass of liquor, or the using
of tobacco, let him abandon these, and
the saving of money will be more
than enough to make home instructive,
cheerful and entertaining; besides,
may save a waywardly-inclined boy
from the terrible doom of an outcast.
