THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

We have nothing further to say as
to the claims and fitness of the two
candidates for the Office of Circuit
Judge now before the people. We add
nothing to, nor take anything from,
what has heretofore been said in the
TELEGRAPH. If there be anything
mixed in the situation, it is not our
fault; we were from the first favorable
to the. old time practice of conven-
ton candidate. But since the people
have not so willed it, no fault will be
found. The judicial canvass is now
referred to only to notice its novel pc
culiaritieS, and to afford little variety
reading. We are living in an adj
vanced age; old customs have become
obsolete, aud new ones are coming into
use. Candidates for office, especially
for high judicial positions, were once
retiring; but not much so now. Per-
haps never before has a candidate for
the dignlt1ed office of Judge evinced
such activity among voters as in the
present campaign as one of the candi-
dates now in the field. Then again the
various proprietors of newspaper of
fees have been supplied with ponder
Gus packages of printed documents for
circulation. Wonderful changes are
going forward in this great country. |
The time may be close at hand when
the candidate for judge and the candi-
date for village constable will walk |
together arm in arm, bowling patroniz-
ingly to voters.
Since the beginning of the present |
canvass for the judgeship, there has
been much said about the corrupting
influence of politics, and therefore the
necessity of keeping the election of
judges out Of politics. Do these clever
people not know that the highest au-
thorities define politics to be the
science of government; that part of
ethics which has to do with the regula-

The PROGRAMME.
TRAMP LAW.

We publish in this paper the bill to
suppress vagrancy (tramps), as it
passed the Assembly a few days ago !;
its passage by the Senate at latest dates
from Madison has not been assured.
But little has been said in the TELE-
GRAPH for some weeks on the tramp
question; we have been looking to the
Legislature for relief, for if relief come
at all, it must be from our law makers.
People at home may talk, but they can
not legislate. From the length of
time tramp law has been under con-
sideration by the legisla ture, the people
were led to expect thoroughly d.
gested plan for the abatement of the
tramp nuisance. Whatever may be
the general opinion of the bill which
passed the Assembly, we confess to dis
it is not what had been
hoped for. Our neighbors in Racine
have about the same interest in prop
er tramp law as have the people of
Kenosha, and, judging from the tone
of the newspapers of that city, the
tramp bill which passed the Assembly
meets with decided disapproval.

CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.
DENIAL OF SIGNING THE CALL FOR Mr..
WINsLow.
OFFICE OF HENRY WIEsMANN,
Atfornev at Law

Attorney at Law,
UNION GROVE, Wis, March 26, 1888.
To THE PUBLIc-I see from the printed
list of names containing the Judicial Call
for john B. Winslow, Esq, to become can
didate for Judge for the First Judicial
Circuit, issued by different newspapers and
circulated in the circuit, that my name is
printed thereon. And as my name is also
on the call for Hon. John 7. Wentworth, the
present Judge Of said Circuit, requesting
him to become a candidate for re- election.
II uvvs appear as though ! signed for both
persons. But this is not so. aever signed
the cali for Mr.. Winslow. although was re-
quested to do so, nor did authorize any
Que to sign my name to it for me. But |
have signed the call for Judge Wentworth.
And have done 30 after considering the
matter. which believed to be best for all
the people in the Circuit. | have known
Judge Wentworth about nine years. Ihave,
although not as much as some lawyers, prac-
ticed in the Circuit Court during the seven
or eight years while he was Judge thereof, at
different times and in different kinds of suits,
and have gained and lost suits before him,
the same as other lawyers, even during the
last year. And | know from experience
that the longer lawyer practices, and the
longer Judge is on the bench, the better
the lawyer and Judge are qualified to per-
form their duties. In this State it has of
late years become the practice to re- elect all
the Judges of the Supreme Court as soon ..s
their term of Office expires. whether they
are Republicans or Democrats. and believe
this to be good practice. II enables our
State to have good, we'll qualified and ex.
perienced Judges of the Supreme Court.
And believe the same rale applies to Judges
of the Circuit Court. Judge Wentworth has
now been Judge of said Circuit for more
than seven years. He has had all this ex.
perience; he has pracliced law himself long
time before he was Judge; he is now &C.
quainted with the standing of all the attor-
neys in the Circuit and with great many
of the people therein and he has an album
dance of knowledge of the law and other
matters that young man and new Judge
has not. Having been forced to make this
statement by the mistaken or wrongful plac
ing of my name on Mr.. Winslow's cali, which
has already caused me much trouble, deem
it necessary to state these few brief reasons
why have sigued the call for Judge Went
worth, and why | will vote for him.

this reform can be carried, it will wipe
out great number of drinking places,
and consequent diminution Of crime.
There are some impracticable people
who say, if We cannot have prohibition,
then let the liquor trade run free,
without license. If it be wrong to
license an evil, then it is morally
wrong for the people to allow the evil
to go free. without any restrictions
whatever. The question in this case
is, which will be productive of the
greater evil in the community, the free
and unrestricted sale Of alcoholic
liquors. or the sale limited by high
license?

The bill for submitting to the people
at the next general election the ques-
ton whether women shall be allowed
to vote at school elections and hold
school offices was defeated in the AS
sembly at Madison by a vote of 55 to
So. A simpleton by the name of
Hinckley, who happens to be men,
Der, said, among other things, if women
were allowed such rights, it " would
break down the sanctity of our homes,
and place women on the level of gutter
politicians. This man Hinckley is
probably ignorant of the fact, that in
several of the states of the Union the
women have such rights and exercise
them without any such results as dis
turb the brain of Mr.. Hinckley.

The commemoration of Easter is
growing in favor with churches. Only
a few years ago the observance of
Easter was limited to only one or two
denominations outside of the Catholic
church. 1t has now become more
general among the churches. Last
Sabbath most of the churches in this
city had fine display of flowers on
the platform and around the pulpit
The choirs had extra music suitable
to the occasion. These symbols, if not
for mere show, but rightly considered,
are appropriate to the devotional exer-
cises.

ED. TELEGRAPH:-In reading your
correspondents incidents of the early
history of Kenosha leads me to pen a
few lines.
My fathers family, consisting of
Austin Kellogg and wife, and five
children, landed from schooner q
think, Illinois) commanded by Capt.
Pickering, Aug. End, 1885, being the
first white family landing from the
lake, along the beach where Kenosha
harbor now is. / say along the beach,
for the Captain did not heave to or
slacken sail, and the three boat loads
of goods were landed in three different
places. There were a few willing
hands and hearty welcomes-Whose
house we stayed in / cannot say-but
my father had the true Methodist
spirit and inquired if they had any
meetings this was Sunday we landed).
On being told they had not, he gaze
out that there would be prayer meet
ing the next Sunday, and Sunday
school, and from that time on these
meetings were kept up until preaching
was procured.
There was a log shanty on the south
side near the lake, without floor, doors,
windows or chinks, into which my
father moved his family. There we
lived about three weeks. l think it
was during the first week band of
Indians, 80 canoes, passed toward Chi
cago, but landed mile south of US, and |
found out that Resigue on the Island |
traded in fire water, and it made |
lively times night and day while they |
stayed. They would come and lift the
blanket for a door and come in al |
hours of day or night, and my mother
could not convince them that the ten
gallon keg of molasses was not whis-
Key without giving them taste.
Often we were startled with more than
,ne pair of eyes peeping through the
tracks of the shanty. My father, for
,hese three weeks, was away all day
lelping Mr.. CALDWELL build his log
house three miles north, and then we
moved in with them while our house
was built on the bank of Pike river,
~ miles north of what was then
Pike River, afterward Southport, and |
now Kenosha.

The kindergarten system of educa.
tiOnappears to be growing in populari-
ty. The Boards of Education of Mil
waukee last year established school
of this kind in connection with every
ward school, where such primary
branch was found practicable, and in
addition engaged the services of an ac-
complished teacher to prepare sixteen
young ladies for kindergarten work.
The result has been highly satisfac-
tory, and these institutions will here
after be permanent in that city.
Kenosha had a kindergarten few
years ago, which was we'll spoken of,
but for some reason was discontinued.

TRAMP NUISANCE.

Several weeks ago there was given
in the TELEGRAPH the number of COM
mitments oe Migrants and tramps in
Kenosha county for the year ending
September 80, 1882, as taken from the
report of the State Board of Charities
and Reform also the amount of fees
and charges of judicial officers during
that period. 1t is unnecessary to re-
capitulate what was then published
enough has occurred since the first of
January last to show the great magni-
tude of the tramp business in this
county. The statements we give are
not official; the books Of the proper
officers have not been examined; we
only state what is told us by parties
who have the means of knowing some
thing of what they speak, without pre-.
tension to exact figures. 1t is said
since the first of January, 1888. there
have been about 1900 commitments;
the cost of each commitment averages
$3.50, that is. for commitment and
board allowed to each for the given
number of days. This does not in
clude the justice fees, which are not
less than 81 each. If these figures are
reliable, the taxpayers can get a good
idea how expenses have been running
the past three months.
A week ago the number of tramps
reported in the county Jail was 81 !;
how this number could be slowed
away in so little prison .surpasses
comprehension. If there be any error
in the foregoing statement, correction
will be cheerfully made when pointed
out.

A. U. Wyman, who has recently been
promoted to the Office of United States
Treasurer, is justly claimed as Wis
consin man. There are those among
us who remember seeing him when a
slender boy standing at printing case
setting tyre in his fathers Office in
Madison. He is recollected as then a
fine looking lad. His father was the
publisher of Wing paper, known as
the Madison ENpreSS.

1t appears quite certain that the
severe cold weather has done much
damage to the apple prospects in some
portions of the west. In Iowa, parti-
cularly in the region of Des Moines.
the trees of many apple orchards are
entirely killed, and in other portions of
Iowa the damage from frost has been
large, proving serious loss to those
who have in past years relied upon the
fruit crop as source of income.

KENOsHA HIGH SCHOOL.


The closing exercises of the High
School for the winter term occurred on
Friday of last week. 1t was made the
occasion for the observance of the an
nivei sary of the death Of the poet
Longfellow. A brief historic sketch
of the poets early life was given, and
selections from his works were read
and recited. The exercises were in
terspersed with music. This is an
improved method of holding public
school exercises, not only 3 the close
ola term, or monthly, which is better.
1t is an excellent plan for familiariz-
ing the scholars with the leading poets,
or with the most prominent statesmen,
if that be preferable.
