Of England, has lately been making a tour
of this country, and with his eyes open,

general; that your farmers usually own
their homes. your gentlefolk their houses,

CHINESE RETALIATION.

When the bill was under discussion
in Congress for prohibiting Chinese
immigration to this country, it was
predicted that any such unreasonable
measure would provoke the indigna-
ton of the government of China.
Members of Congress calculated too
largely on the stupidity of the Chinese,
by supposing they would tamely sub
NIT to such an insult. 1t now turns
out just as more sensible people sup
posed it would-just as some of the
better balanced minds In Congress de-
clared would be the result. 1t was an
outrage which this government would
not have dared to commit against a
more war-like people than China. Tt
now transpires that Secretary Freling-
huysen, of the Department of State,
has received information that every
means is being taken by the Govern
ment of China to drive Americans
from the Empire. All sorts of restric..
tions are placed upon them to embarrass
their business and to make their stay
disagreeable. Now, in view of this
condition of affairs. a homely old adj
age comes into play: What is sauce
for goose is sauce for gander." Our
Government insisted the Chinese must
go; now China in turn wants the
Americans to go.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Mr.. Hugh McKindley, of this city,
who is now SO years old, has manifest
ed d deeper interest in the cause of
education, by frequent visitations to
the different departments of the pub
lie schools, than any other citizen of
this place. In the school rooms he
takes occasion to speak few words
Of encouragement, stimulating the
children and youth to noble endeavors
to achieve good education. Mr.. Nc
kindley is unassuming and kindly in
his manners, and therefore greater
heed is given to his advice. He did
not have the advantages of good edu-
cation himself in early life, conse-
quently he has been unsparing in his
efforts for the education of his family,
and now in the later years of his life
his interest centres in the public
schools. If the example of Mr.. Nc
KindIey were only practically followed
by few more of our citizens, adj
ditional life and activity would be i'm
parted to the schools. From his OBJ
servation Of the Kenosha schools in
past years, he gives it as his opinion
that the different departments were
never in as good order, and as well
regulated as they are at present.

Prohibition in Wisconsin has come
to a stand-still for the next two years,
as the legislature will not convene
again before January, 1885. A great
number of petitions have been pre-
scented in the legislature during the ses-
sion, asking for submission to the peo-
pie of an amendment to the constitu-
ton, prohibiting the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. Whether majority of
the people of the state favor such an
amendment is not known; the friends
of the measure desired to have that
question tested. The legislature re-
lieved the people by deciding the mat
ter for them, that 1t was not proper to
allow them to test the question by the
only legitimate method, whether a ma
jorty want prohibition or not. The
bill providing for an expression of the
people on the subject of prohibition
was indefinitely postponed by a vote OF
Al to 26.

We learn from s. Y. Brande, one of
the dealers in real estate of this city.
that there has been considerable &C
tivity the past week in the sale of
farm and city property. Besides the
sale of the English farm on the quarter
line road, which brought the fair sum
of $75 Per acre, Mr.. Brande reports
sales of the Buckley tract. on sections
Is and IS in Pleasant Prairie, to
Messrs. Schnuckel, Wick and Fox, un-
improved lsnds, at good prices also
sales of suburban lots on the Sykes
tract, on the new Burlington avenue.
to Messrs. Williams, Becker, Hensel,
Miller, and Piel, these last sales result
ing in the extension west of Middle
street to the last-named avenue. This
opens an important thoroughfare.
Burlington avenue now only needs to-
be extended in a northwesterly d.
rection, as projected year or two ago,
to make it the nearest route from the

CITY ELECTION.

Are our citizens aware of thei M
portance of the charter election to oc-
cur on Tuesday next? Are the peo-
pie satisfied to allow the city interests
to run on in the future as in the past ?
What the city needs is sound Repub-
lican administration. We have men
in the Republican ranks of unques-
toned honesty, integrity and business
qualifications; besides, being men Of
good moral standing. Two political
parties going into partnership, in the
management of city government, looks
nice in theory. but does not work well
in practice. 1t is better that one party
should share the responsibility alone
than dividei between two.

During the discussion on liquor H.
censes in the State Legislature there
has been much bitterness in the Demo-
cratic ranks. Republicans favored
high license; the Democrats, witlf-few
exceptions, were strenuous for low
license. The high license Democrats
were denounced by their party breth-
rem as TRAITORS to the Democratic
party" and threatened with exclusion
from the ranks for all time. So it is
getting to be understood if a Democrat
wishes to preserve his standing in the
party, he must stand up boldly for
cheap whiskey.
