PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND THE
HORIZONS.

Among all the plans which have
been proposed for the arresting of
Mormonism in Utah the recommends
ton of President Arthur in his mes
sage is the only practical one The
same plan was suggested in the TELE-
GRAPH a few weeks ago. Let Congress
abolish entirely the territorial govern
ment of Utah; deny it single elective
Office by the people; invest the local
governments of Utah in commission
appointed by the United States; let all
the higher officers be appointed by the
President, and those of lower grades
appointed by the Commission. In
short, give Utah a government pre-
cisely like that which twelve years ago
was established for the District of
Columbia. Prior to that time the
District Of Columbia had a Governor,
Legislature and a full complement of
officers elected by the people. Con-

proportion of young women who have
finished their studies at school, and
who are living on the earnings of
others, without contributing to the
general stock Of life support, il would
be not a little surprising. It's, how
ever, matter of congratulatlon that
public attention has been turned to
this condition ofkaffairs. Industrial
occupations for young women. in con-
nection with the ordinary branches of
educations taught in academies and
seminaries, are growing in favor, and
are encouraged by the more sensible
wealthy classes. There is an increas-
ing public opinion in this direction,
which is destined to produce good re-
suits.

QUALIFICATION FOR VOTERS

:
Be lgium, it is said, has system of
public schools equal to the best in Eu-
rope, and the people are generally
educated. But, notwithstanding this,
steps are taken for the better qualifca-
ton Of voters. The right of suffrage
is placed on basis like our American
Civil Service, which determines the
qualification for appointments to office.
Before person can vote in Belgium
he must pass an examination, in which
certain questions must be answered.
In most, if not all the states of our
Union, there are no educational tests
to determine the qualification of a
voter; he may be as ignorant as a
horseback of the duties of citizenship.
yet may have his vote put into the
ballot box, where it counts as much as
that of the wisest statesman. Since
the adoption of universal suffrage in
the several states of the Union. the
door has been thrown wide open to the
llliterate masses in our own country.

ONCE A BOY PRINTER IN KENO
SHA.


Before the present year the annual
message of the President found its
way into some newspapers before its
delivery in Congress, notwithstanding
the precautions taken to prevent it..
This year Hon. S. P. Rounds, the gov
eminent printer, who is himselfa prac-
teal printer, with the help of the fore
man of the office, put the message in
type in a private room, the door locked,
thus eyading every means for any
person to purloin any portion of it.
S. p. Rounds learned the trade Of
printer in KenOsha, working in an Office
located on The north side of the river,
called the Southport american" L..
?. Harvey, afterwards Governor Of
Wisconsin, was the editor of the paper.
1t will be reeollected that Gov. Harvey,
while on visit south to look after the
wants of our Union soldiers, was ac-
cidentally drowned in the Tennessee
river. No one ever dreamed when the
boy S. P. Rounds was seen on the
streets of this place that he would rise
to the position of United States prin-
ter; he proves to be the best man for
the office of any which have preceded
him. His parents were in humble cir
cumstances, and he was obliged to
make his way in the world by his own
efforts. He took the right course and
succeeded. Had he chosen the course
usual to multitudes of boys, contenting
himself with common school education,
without learning trade, his chances
for grand success in life might have
been very different. The boys who are
seen On the streets, tired of going to
school, having learned.no specific trade,
waiting for something to turn up, have
but faint hope of large success in the
future. The boyhood history of S. P.
Rounds furnishes a good example of
what industry. and attention to bust
ness can accomplish.

The liquor law for once is enforced
in the city of New York with good
degree Of success. The police are Civ
ing vigilant watch, and saloon-keepers
who violate the law are promptly ar
rested and fined. The citizens league
Of Milwaukee is doing successful work
in the enforcement of the laws against
the liquor dealers. The Milwaukee
Sentinel remarks:
1T is an excellent thing to demon
strate that the existing laws restrict
ing the liquor traffic can be enforced
before attempting more stringent en-
actments."
Many Of the friends Of temperance
are looking forward to some stated y
high sounding enactment for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic, seeming
to forget that if the laws now on the
statute book were enforced it would
accomplish what they ask for.

DEATH OF A FORMER METHO.
DIST PASTOR OF KENOSHA.

The following appears in an Omaha
paper:
cat Omaha, Neb., yesterday, the
funeral of the Rev. George A. Eng
land, Post-Chaplain at Fort Omaha,
occurred. The remains were escorted
by the department military band, a
large detachment of regular soldiers
and Knights Templar. The interment
will take place at Ripon, Wis"
Rev. Mr.. England was several years
ago pastor Of the Methodist church in
this city. Some time after leaving
here his health became so much i'm
paired as to oblige him to relinquish
regular preaching services. He took
orders in the Episcopal church and was
appointed Post Chaplain at Fort Oma-
ha. During his passionate in this city
he was much respected.

COST OF WAR DEFENCE IN
TIME OF PEACE.

From the recent report of the Sec
rotary of War, it appears the cost of
that department the past year has been
near $5OO00,0Oo. This is a large
amount to be expended in time of
profound peace with all other nations.
There have been some small Indian
disturbances during the past twelve
months, but nothing serious or alarm
ing. There are military posts kept up
in various portious of the United
States and Territories where the nee
essity for them is no greater than at
Racine, Kenosha or Waukegan. To
call out any portion of the regular
army to suppress riots and disturb
ances of the public peace in a country of
such vast extent as this is seldom prac-
ticable. From tWo-thirds to three
fourths of the present army might be
dispensed with and not endanger The
safety of the country. The frontier
bounding on the Indian country may
require standing troops, but on the sea-
board and elsewhere there is no neces-
sity for such protection. There are no
foreign nations nearer us than across
the ocean, three thousand miles away.
With these the United States have
been on friendly terms since the war
OF 1912 and 1914, nearly seventy years,
with the exception of some small mis-
understandings, which were amicably
settled without resort to hostilities.
There is not the remotesr danger of
war with any nation of Europe, pro-
vided the United States does not inter-
fere with the affairs of other powers.
In no department Of the govern
ment are there so many well paid Off
GERS with nothing to do as in the
army. In the city of Washington
the retired army officers drawing pay,
and those who are spending their time
in that city on leave, together with
their families, constitute the solid ar
istocracy-an aristocracy not only in
name, but absolute. With few excep-
lions, they assume the position of a
separate class, associating only with
those of their own military caste. 1t
might seem almost cruel to send those
now in the military service adrfft who
are we'll provided for with good
salaries, and living at ease; but no
greater hardship for them than for
those in the civil service, who lose
comfortable and well paid positions,
by the changes in office to which they
are liable.
Robert [. Lincoln, Secretary of War,
invites the attention of Congress to
giving encouragement by appropriating
money for building up military organ
izations throughout the country. 1t
would require no large expenditure of
money to do this; there are in every
city, and considerable villages, enough
men who are pleased with military
drill and display, and who, with en-
ducement sufficient to pay the expenses
of equipment and a few other con-
tingencies, would readily enter such
an organization. Such companies,
legally constituted, would always be at
hand where protection of life and prop
erty from mob violence or other cause
is needed. The home military would
be more available, more effective, and
far less expensive. The Navy is amply
sufficient to protect this country from
sudden invasion by other powers.
Such a contingency, however, is not
likely to happen.

CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF SLAVE
PROPERTY.

1t is reported at Washington that a
suit is in preparation to be brought
before the q. S. Court Of Claims by an
ex-slaye holder in Texas to recover the
value of slaves liberated by the United
States government in Texas. The
claim is based on the alleged fact that
Texas was slave territory when it be-
came the property of the United States,
and that on its admission into the
Union as a state it was on conditions
differing from other new states.

The Racine High School boys have a
hourishing lyceum in progress, which
holds meetings every Friday evening.
Whether our Kenosha school boys
have any evenings to spare for such
exercises does not appear. A well
conducted Lyceum is one Of the most
profitable exercises for school boys and
young men. Many high school schol-
az, who now cares nothing for Lyee-
ums, may see the time after he arrives
at manhood when he will regret having
given no attention to the practice of
public speaking.

ONE OF THE NATIVES.

After so long an absence, we were
nleased TO see Thomas Lemons one
dav last week. Torn" ranks among
the "old timers" Of this section, ana
his humorous and genial manner
has made for him an extensive
acquaintance. He has dealt In
cattle. horses. etc, in the Territory
for some eight years, aud in fact is
ever ready to give one trade TOR
anything from a jack-knife to an OK
train. But Of late he has turned his
attention to buying hogs in the Cad
do country, which tribe takes great
pride in raising swine. Thomas has
collected about 800 head, and has
them penned at Bailey's ranch, on
the wire road" leading from Reno
to the Wichita Agency, and judging
from one Of Mr.. Lemons casual re-
marks, we should infer that he Is
now ready to dispose Of them at a
nominal price At any rate, IL this
should be the case, there is bar
gain in them for some one who in
tends feeding cattle the coming
winter and want hogs to follow their
beeves. As q number Of the enter
prising stockmen in the Washita
valley generally feed beef cattle and
hogs every winter in this manner, it
will probably pay them to look up

PUBLISH YOUR BRANDS.

There are two or three parties In
the country who think their brands
ere "too well known already" and
that it is not good policy, more es-
pecially for small owners, TO make
their brands and range locations
known through the papers. Ifft IL
policy for the large owners it is
doubly so for the smaller possessions
in stock to make public their brands,
as they have not SO many men. In
the field to look after their interests.
1t is of vital importance to make
public all brands, so that every bon
est worker know whose they are and
whore they belong. as otherwise, he
may not consider it to his intetesL
to inform himself, as he is busy III
his appointed tasks. But the only
thief to be feared is the best posted
men in the range, and to be success
ful must and does know every brand,
large and small, and to what part of
the range it belongs. The 'rustler"
knows your brands already. even if
your herd numbers only a dozen
head, for that is business; but you
must constantly remind the hoIest
toilers, else they will forget, ana
neglect to gather in. A brand is
