Farmers are pleased to note the fact
that their corn is growing so fast they
can hear the joints crack. Other grain
crops are doing equally as well. There
is very poor show for apples, but an
abundance of raspberrfes, as the most
provident of creatures, the good house
wife, can testify, who is busy canning

THE PRESIDENCY.

Many newspaper presses are en-
gagged in the harmless business of
naming candidates for the presidency.
Every one is privileged to propose
whom he pleases: suggestions cost
nothing, and probably the most of
them are worth nothing. Among
those mentioned on the Republican
side, there is one who is entitled to a
more general consideration than he
has as yet received; we refer to Rob.
ert T. Lincoln, the present Secretary of
War. Mr.. Lincoln, in some important
respects, would have the advantage
as an available candidate over most, if
not all, whose names have been
brought before the people. His politi-
cal record is unassailable; he has new
er been identified with any CLIQUE,
sectional party or interest. His pollti-
cal opposers would search in vain for
any Objectionable public act where
with to assail him. He possesses in
an eminent degree the virtues of his
father. The keen perception, the ma
ture deliberation and 6xedness of
purpose which characterized the mar
tyreG Lincoln are inherited by the son.
Nearly all of the prominent Republi.
can candidates for the Presidency
which are spoken of have long been in
public life; their acts are matter of
record and often criticized; whether
justly or unjustly is not in point, since
their record would certainly be garbled
and used against them by political
enemies. Were Blaine, Logan or any
other man, who has for a series of
years been in public life, put in nomi-
nation he would be placed on the defen-
sive; much time and labor would be
required to defend his official acts,
back twenty years or more.

WHAT rs a LIBERAL EDUCA-
TION?

We have heretofore noted the fact
that Hon. Franklin lei. Head delivered
an address before the Alumni Associa-
ton of Hamilton College at Clinton,
N. Y. A copy of the address received
few days ago is acknowledged. Mr..
Head has struck note in accord with
many prominent educators throughout
the country. The question, "What is
liberal education " is rightly an
swered; it is perfection as near as
possible of our own English language.
The high sounding Greek and Latin
does not make great business men,
profound thinkers and writer's. Life
is too short to spend the best years of
young manhood in the acquisition of
dead languages ; the mental advantages
derived from these studies is more
mythical than real. If Greek and
Latin, acquired after years of labor,
were judged by their fruits, they would
be found much like the "barren fig
tree" good to look upon, but fruitless.
There is nothing of value in Latin
and Greek literature that has not been
translated into English by the best
scholars in Europe and America.
These translations are accessible to all,
and no student by years of delying
into the originals can elicit a single
new thought, which has not before
been expressed. Young men may con-
tinue to take the regular old college
course at Yale, because it is fashion
able. 1t may be attended with benefit
but subsequently many of them may
realize that the time spent might have
been more proftably devoted to prac-
teal studies of which they find them
selves profoundly ignorant.

A NEW UNIVERSITY.

A movement has been made in Mil
waukee for the establishment of a
University, covering a wider field of
studies, and promising more general
advantages than any institution of
learning now existing in the western
States. 1t is claimed it will equal
Yale and Harvard in all it's appoint
ments, and will be based on capital
of not less than one million of dollars.
The conception of such an enterprise
In the west is a. magnificent one, and
rises far superior in Importance to
costly theatres, opera houses, or expen-
sive outlays for mere show and amuse-
ment. The institution will be nomi-
nally under the control of the Baptists.
but it is said will be non-sectarian in
its teachings, and all denominations
will be privileged to enjoy its advan-
tages. The articles of incorporation
of the University, which have been
filed in the Office of the Secretary of
State, requires that three-fourths Of
the managers shall be of the Baptist
denomination. Perhaps 1t would have
been quite as well to have made the
Board of Managers wholly Baptist; the
fractional one-fourth for other relig
ions is of no practical value, as it
does not change the character of the
institution.

SUN SPOTS

The spots which have recently
appeared on the sun have been the sub
ject of much comment. A Rochester,
N. Y, astronomer announced in a
paper in that city on Sunday last as fol-
lows: ITO the FIVE groups of sun spots
which have eyinced intense action the
past week, two more have just been
added. The sun storm which is just
coming into view covers vast area,
showing rapid changes. Violent thun-
derstorms and tornadoes may be ex-
pected this week in the northern states
and in Canada"
The prediction was verified by the
tornadoes which followed on Monday
in this state and in Canada. But to
render the theory of sun spots one Of
general application, the storm should
have been experienced in other coun-
tries distant from this.

LYNCH La W-THF REASON OF
TT

The form of proceeding against
criminals, known as "lynch law" is
not less frequent than years ago, not
withstanding the progress of ciyiliza-
ton and intelligence. Persons charged
with fragrant wrongs are forcibly
seized and taken out of the hands of
the officers of the law and summarily
hanged. This is practice ordinarily
indicating low and barbarous condi-
tn ofsociety. Yet such proceeding S
continue to occur in educated CON-
munities where a wholesome moral
sentiment might be supposed to pre-.
vail. In the orderly and we'll governed
state of Iowa this summary method of
securing justice was resorted to not
long ago. There are two reasons why
the people are SO ready to take the law
into their own hands. One is tardy
justice for the punishment of crime;
the delays of the law are often the oc-
casion of enabling guilty men toes
cape the penalty due to their acts. In
England it is not so; the trial of per-

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
PAST, PRESENT. AND FUTURE

The record of the Republican party
during the past twenty years is one
of which it may justly be proud. That
the party has made no minor errors is
not claimed, but that it has committed
mistakes in national legislation which
have proved damaging to the interests
of the country, the proof of it may be
challenged. The great measures which
have been enacted into law, and which
have brought the country to its pres
ent degree of prosperity, were con-
ceived and adopted by the Republicans
IN Congress. But while the Republi-
can party has good reason to be salts
fed with its past history, it cannot rest
on that alone for its future success.
It's a mistake to suppose its mission
is ended; there are new questions
pressing to the front of growing
Importance. Some of these questions
are destined to soon become great
political issues, and the humanity side
of these look to the Republican party
for support. In this party are found
all the popular elements of true reform;
its continuance in power is needed to

NEW EMPLOYMEgiS FOR WO-
MEM

The time is rapidly listening when
there will no longer 3 complaint of
the want of employmets suitable for
women who have ambion to render
themselves useful and disappearing.
The field is constantly badening, and
avocations for which women are
adapted are inviting the to industrial
and profitable pursuits. Among the
many branches of art tdVhich the at
tention of women has ecently been
directed is that of ENGRAVING on wood.
This is an employmentwhich until
quite lately has been prformed by
men. 1t is not limitedeld of enter
prise; but few persons hEe an idea of
the demand for work of tbs kind. The
many popular magazine devoted to
dltferent interests furnislemployment
to an army of engraprs. Books,
papers and periodicals of very variety
are increasingly demandig engravings
for establishment and illustration.
The new magazine, tie Continent,

lead in pressing unemloyed young
women, who are livingbn precarious
incomes, to adopt some e the new oc-
equations which are nov presented,
and cease to be dependents on friends.

this magazine, which arr the work of
that number of women, who have been
in the business of engraving from five
to twenty months each. The speci.

RANDALL.

They have had the diphtheria in
Richmond for some time, and there
has been one death from the disease.
This disease has been at Richmond
and Genoa several times before, but
has never become epidemic, or remain
ed long. 1t is thought that the drink
ing water in these villages contains a
mineral that is preventative of the
disease.
John F. Reynolds two children were
taken with the diphtheria last week,
but they are now out of danger.
Mrs. Moth returned to Wlnetka, ILL.,,
on the 18th. She intended to stay
longer when she came, but the news of
diphtherla in the neighborhood caused
her departure earlier than she intended.
A remarkable hail storm visited this
town on the 18th. 1t came across the
southwest corner Of Wheatland and
passed in south-easterly direction
across the whole OF Randall, not doing
any damage, however, outside of
strip about two miles wide. Some of
the barley fields are ruined, the corn
leaves badly cut, md winter wheat and
rye damaged from one-fourth to one
half. Oats sustained a slight injury
only. The corn will probably be set
back few days, but will come through
all right otherwise. Hail fell all over
Randall, but the center of the storm
entered the town near its northwest
corner and passed out just east of Twin
Lakes. There was almost a calm, or
the damage would have been much
greater. The roar of the storm was
like the sound of a railway train,
though many times louder, which
caused every one to think another cy-
clone was coming. The hail was Of
remarkable size. We measured some
that were eight inches around, but
these were smaller ones frozen together.
We measured perfectly round one
that was four inches in circumference.
When one of these large round ones
was broken, it would show two or
three rings, similar to the annual
growths of wood, showing that the
stone was formed first with frozen
drop, and then oyerlaid with layers of
ice as it descended through different
stratas Of the atmosphere. 1t did the
most damage to Warren, Stanton, Ra
deeg, w. A. McKesson, John S. Rey
nolds, and Capt. Alderman.

THE FOURTH AT WATERTOWN
DAKOTA.-HON. CHARLES g.
WILLIAMS ORATOR OF THE
DAY.
The reputation of Hon. G. G.. Will
liams as an able public speaker and
orator has preceded him wherever he
goes. Although but a recent acquisition
to the city of Watertown, he was select
ed with great unanimity as the orator
for the celebration of our national ami
versary The grafton, of which we
have received a copy, starts off under
the following text: The sum of a
mans life is always to-day, and to-day
is the sum of our nations life" We
have not the space to spare for the
GRAFTON; suffice it to say, it is clothed
in excellent language, pervaded with
the spirit of true patriotism, and
abounds with valuable suggestions in
respect to the future of Dakota. The
Codington County Courier Ga Water
town paper says: "There were fully
5000 people present and the celebra-
ton was one of the grandest ever held
in Dakota" A number of novel and
attractive exercises were had during
the day, all of which passed off with
out disturbance or disorder.

AND THE DEMOCRACY.

Quite recently Tilden stock for the
Presidency has taken a rise. For
months previous he had been spoken
of as out of the question; he was de-
clared broken down physically and
mentally. Of late he has been inter-
viewed by some of the old leaders of
the party, and the fact developed that
he has aspirations for the candidacy in
1884, and expresses a wish that the
National Democratic convention be
held at Saratoga, and not in Chicago,
as had been proposed. Since this late
aspiration of Mr.. Tilden for the Presi-
dency has been ascertained, many of
the Democratic press have changed
their tone wondrously: instead of
speaking of him as old and decrepit
he is now represented youthful, vigor-
GUS and agile as a boy. Really it is
hoped the Democrats will give the old
gentleman another chance. It is said
he spent large sums of money in his
last presidential campaign, but he has
funds remaining for another race.

"The Reading Room will be open
very evening in the week. We have
che daily papers and other good read
ing matter free for all without money
and without price. Committee w. G..
Z. IT,"
The above notice appears in all the
Waukegan newspapers. A citizen or
stranger would look in vain for no
tice of a free reading room, with the
usual accomplishments, in Kenosha.
We hear of one reading room with 9TH
er furnishments located somewhere in
the city, which is said to be free to
gentlemen only, on the payment of
$25. 1t is pleasing to note even this,
nasmuch as it is presumed to have an
intellectual bearing. But one of the
needs of this city, to which attention
has been frequently called the past
year or more, is a reading room with
attractive furnishments, such as are
common in other cities, free to all.
Kenosha is behind most cities, great or
small, in this one necessity. 1t would
be an easy matter for a few of our
wealthy citizens to furnish means for
the establishment of such an institu-
ton. There are many young men who
would be benefited morally and intel
lSctually if suitable place of resort
were provided where their leisure
hours could be pleasantly and profit
ably employed. No money investment
so small would pay better for the ele-
yationEof young men, fitting them for
intelligent citizenship.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the
Wisconsin Editorial Association which
occurred at Like Geneva the present
week appears to have been an occasion
of much interest, and highly satisfac-
tory to those who participated in it.
The attendance was large, and the
citizens of Geneva did themselves
much credit by their efforts to render
the visit of the editorial fraternity
pleasant and enjoyable. Perhaps no
better place in the State could have
been chosen for the meeting of the
Association.
