Probably never before in the history
of legislation in this state was so much
egregious laundering as in the legisla-
tive body recently adjourned. These
inexcusable mistakes are chiefly trace
able to the Assembly, where the con-
trolling power was in the hands of the
Democrats The laws purporting to
have been passed will be printed in the
volume of session laws just as they
were found when the legislature adj
jOurned. No one has the authority to
correct the carelessness of the enrolling
committee and other officers of the
House. Whenever the enforcement of
some of these laws is attempted, the
courts may have Occasion.t to inquire
into the regularity Of their passage.

SORGHUM SUGAR.

The certainty of the success of the
manufacture of sugar from amber
cane is made moro satisfactory from
the following, which we take from the
Milwaukee Sentinel. than any state
ment which has yet appeared:
PROMISING FARM INDUSTRY.
E. P. CHAPMAN, in Beloit, says Of the new
sorgAum sugar which he saw in the different
stages of refining at the State university.
The lower grades reminded me Of our best
maple sugar while the higher could not be
distinguished from our best white sugar
Some Of our Beloit people who sampled the
sugar declared that it was maple sugar, and
that they would stake their reputation as
Hebrew scholars on that verdict. On
in quiring in.o the proftableness Of the cane
crop when thus made into sugar, | was to Id
that the actual figures gave $50 to $50 per
| acre clear ofexpenses. including interest on
the land. Ia respect TO profit it is said to
have only one competitor, the tobacco crop.
But. unlike the raising of tobacco. which re-
quires great expense and labor, the cane crop
does not require much more skill than the
culture of corn II lie an easy crop to raise
for the profit in it, while it responds to the
best care with unusual dividends. In sever
al parts of our state the farmers are already
excited on the subject, while in some Of the
western states, capitalists are investing in it
as though it were a Nevada mine Of untold
wealth. The professor Of chemistry at our
State University has recently been hired
away from US 10 60 to Kansas and take
charge of an smber- cane sugar factory that
represents 100000. This firm pays the
professor Sc 900 per year salary, and 81 .O0O
apiece for his two assistants, also recent
students at the University. The above firm
represent New York capitalists who have
handled Southern sugar. This large invest
ment on their part shows not only their con-
idence in making sugar from sorghum cane,
but also their high estimate of the quality
and marketability Of the sugar when made

a FORMER PREACHER IN KEN
OSHA NOW OCCUPIES THE
PULPIT OF a METROPOLITAN
CHURCH, W ASHTNGTON CITY.
Rev. E. d. Huntley several years ago
was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church in this city. After his pastor
ate ended here, he occupied the pulpits
Of number of prominent Methodist
churches elsewhere in the State, and
at length was appointed to the Presi-
dency of Lawrence University at APP
pleton. A.few weeks ago he was called
to the pastorate of the Metropolitan
M. E. Church, Washington City. This
is one Of the most popular and elegant
churches of that denomination in
Washington. Some of the most dis
tinguished divines Of the Methodist
church, such as Drs. Eddy, Tiffany and
Newman, have served as pastors. Dur
ing the occupancy of the White House
by President Grant, this place of wor-
ship was frequently called "Grant's
Church" because of his strong attach
ment to it, especially during the period
Rev. John P. Newman was the pastor.
President Grant was an ardent friend
of DR.. Newman: he appointed him on
a mission around the world to inspect
the offices of American consuls in for
eign lands. About two years ago DIR.
Newman was invited to take charge of
prominent church of another denomi-
nation in New York city; he accepted
the offer, and Gen. Grant,. who was
then in that city, Immediately rented
one of the best seats in the house.

man sends .us a mote. requesting the
statement which appeared in the TELE-
GRAPH last week, that Rev. Mr.. Hunt
ley was called at a salary of $4,000 a
year, be corrected; it is only $500 and
a house. Our Methodist friends do not
approve of extravagant salaries for
preachers OF the gospel. The friends
of Rev. Huntley believe he will not
fall below DR.. Newman and other dis
tinguished preachers, who have here
tofore occupied the pulpit of the Me-
tropolitan nj. E. Church in Washington.

In the spring elections the issues are
generally of more local character, in
Volving personal matters, and the rea-
son why these elections usually result
in democratic triumphs is apparent.
In the late municipal elections, wher-
ever the question of restraining the
sale of intoxicating liquors has entered
into the issue the Democrats and the
liquor interest have gone together; to
this there has not been an exception.
In noting the results of the April elec-
tions in the different states, not an in
stance appears where the Republicans
affiliated with the liquor men, but in
every case it has been the other way.
This accounts for so many Democratic
victories at the spring elections. In the
fall general elections issues Of this
kind are not generally raised, hence
the reason of more frequent Republi-
can successes in the fall elections.

CHURCH LYcEUMs.

This is an age when persons of tb e
most active minds are unceasilg in
their efforts to raise the moral and in
tellectual standard of society. New
plans are devised for elevating the
masses, and interesting the indifferent
to higher and nobler attachments.
One of the latter methods is the organic
alton of Church Lyceums. These in
stitutions have been authorized by the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and are adapted to
all denominations. Their object is,
the intellectual improvement not only
of the members of the churches, but
all who chose to avail themselves of
their advantages. The chief outline of
organizations of this kind is stated in
the following extract:
sit contemplates several important
features, among them the establish
ment of a reading-room of Looks, pa
pers and magazines, to be opened at
specified times; the arrangement of
courses of reading in history, science,
literature and religion; the formation
of classes for the pursuit of studies in
various branches; the holding of meet
ings with literary, social and musical
exercises. The Lyceum will be help
full to all classes, old and young, those
who have and those who have not re-
ceiyed liberal education"
1t may be remarked that reading
rooms and lyceums, established in the
ordinary way, flourish only for a sea-
son, and then fall away for the want of
a permanent abiding place. But il it
be an institution under the direct aus
pices of the church, it will be as endur-
ing as the church itself; it will then
have fixed locality and habitation as
long as the church has one. The
church lyceum commends itself to all
wide-aWake live churches and congre-
cations.
1t is apparent to all observing per-
sons, that a large proportion of the
people, especially the younger classes,
take no interest in the church; they
are obliged to go elsewhere for their
entertainments, rational
amusements, scientific Investigations,

WOMEN SUFFRAGE.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
Practical experience in the matter Of
woman suffrage is of more weight than
any amount of ridicule, sarcasm, irony
and witticism. But these latter pass
for convincing arguments in the esti-
nation of multitudes of people in dis
proving woman suffrage; they really
make up the stock of the argument, so
called. Woman suffrage has been un-
dergoing a practical test in Wyoming
Territory the past dozen or more years.
Every governor of the territory 20 the
present has borne unqualified testi-
-mony to its satisfactory working. The
popular objections which are common
ly made to woman suffrage are shown
by the present Governor of Wyoming
to be groundless. 0. P. @.

During brief stop at Waukegan a
few days since, some few facts of in
terest were noted. There being but
little or no business communication
between this place and Waukegan, cit
les hundred or more miles away are
better known to Kenosha people.
Among the most observable things
that strike the attention of a stranger
is the liberal width of all the streets.
The main business streets are not as
handsomely built as Main street in
KenOsha; the number of expensive
dwellings is larger. In the matter of
public school buildings Waukegan is a
model city; the High school building
is a superb edifce, three stories high,
of commanding appearance. Great
attention is given to the schools, which
is evidence enough of the intelligence
and wise foresight of the people. The
new court house would be regarded
an ornament to any city of ten times
the population and wealth of Wauke-
gan. 1t is an elegant structure. The
number of church edifices is about the
same as in Kenosha, and in external
appearance nearly Of the same aver
age. The business of Waukegan has
been diminished since the building OF
the Chicago and st. Paul railway, run
ming parallel with the lake shore, a
few miles west of the city. Trading
posts have been built on the line of
the road, cutting off business from
the city. Waukegan has three news
paper offices the only one visited is
the Gazette, the Oldest paper in the
city, having passed the thirty-third
year of its establishment. Partridge
b Brother, the gentlemanly editors
and proprietors, appear to be doing a
thriving business.

WAUKEGAN AFFAIRS.

Our neighbor city of Wankegan has
about the same number Of inhabitants
as Kenosha. The new city govern
ment was inaugurated last week, and
we infer from the account given in the
Waukegan Gazette there was a lively
time. Mayor Blodgett delivered his
inaugural message in crowded hall.
The total disbursements for all pur-
poses during the past year were $24,-
214; the now outstanding city indebt-
edness is about $1,000. By the city
charter the Mayor has the nomination

COOPERATIVE HOUSE-KEEP-
ING.

A considerable number of respect
able families of Racine city have en-
tered earnestly on an investigation of
the workings of co-operatiye house
keeping" A comlaiGtee of twenty
FIVE gentlemen and ladies was ap-
pointed at recent meeting to examine
and report on the subject. It's practi-
cability, advantages and economies
will be investigated. Judging from
the character and standing of the per-
sons named on the committee, the re-
port will be looked for with interest.

DEMAND FOR FEMALE HOUSE
SERVANTS.

The complaint is now almost uniyer-
sal in this country of the scarcity of
female help as house servants. This
lack is not because there are less fe-
males in proportion to the number of
males now than years before. A half
century ago there was not only 8 sup
ply, but a surrlusage of this kind of

THE TRAMP LAW.

The tramp bill which passed both
houses of the legislature was not
signed by the Governor. but became a
law under the provision of the State
Constitution. Article A, Section 10,
which reads as follows:
If any bill shall not be returned by
the Governor within three days (Sun.
days exeepteO after it shall have been
presented to him, the same shall be a
law, unless the legislature by their adj.
journment prevent its return; in
which case it shall not be law"

The Ohio Legislature has finally de-
cided to submit the liquor question to

the people of that State will be License
or Prohibition. The election will take
place next October.

The demand for houses to rent in
this city is rather larger than usual
this spring; especially have there been
many changes by those who reside in
rented houses. The inquiry is not so
much for small cheap houses as few
years ago. Houses renting from $3.50
to $3.50 are more sought after.

WHAT WILL BE THE ISSUES IN
1884?

1t is probable that issues other than
political will to large extent divide
parties in the campaign of 1884. Social
and moral questions are likely to enter
into the declaration of principles in
some form. The liquor question has
forced itself into the politics Of every
state iu the Union, and so earnest has
become the feeling on this subject that
it is impossible now to keep it out of
state politics, and it is quite sure to
enter the national arena of discussion.
This is the more probable for the rea-
son that all former national issues are
now but family outlined between the
two great parties. The Democrats, as
national party, are divided on the
tariff. So great is their divergence on
this subject, there is no hope of coming
to an agreement; many prominent
leaders of the party are at antipo des.
The National Republican party will
also find it difficult to agree on such an
adjustment of the tariff as will satisfy
all the party. On what important ma.
tional question then will the issue be-
tween the two parties be clearly de-
fined2 There will of course, as usual,
be enough differences in Congress to
wrangle about, but not on such mat
ters as are expressed in party platforms.
AS there must needs be declaration
Of principles in National conventions
is it not reasonable to presume that
some of those social questions which
now SO generally agitate the people
will be formulated and embodied in
the platforms.
