was allowed s5,2O5.12. The sheriff
bill of Racine county was charged at
$4,000, but cut down by the Board of
Supervisors to $4,000.
The committee during their visit
inspected the Justices bills. The bill
of one Justice covered sixty-two pages
Of legal cap and footed at s1,46T46.
The same Justice had also an addition
al bill, which was allowed, $52585.
There were also bills of another justice,
amounting to $1,342.71. A plea nay
be put in for the Justices; the billsare
large, but they probably charge no
more than the law allows them to do.
It is remarkable how the taxpayers
bear taxation so meekly and unsom
plainingly. The question as to the
proper disposition to be made OF the
tramps, is environde with difficulties,
but it cannot be there is such lack of
wisdom among our thinking people as
to render them incompetent to devise
a remedy. When the Report OF the
Board is published and ready for dis
tribution taxpayers will be interested
in seeing it's statements in detail.

RACINE'S PROSPERITY.

The Racine Journal publishes list
of buildings and improvements in
that city during the year 1882 and the
cost of each. the total footing of which
is little over 100000. This is do
Ing pretty we'll for a town which
thirty-eight years ago had less pop
ulation and business than Kenosha.
During the long period since the time
referred to there has been no unfair
ness in the race between the two
towns, although it has been very I'M
equal. Both towns were first settled
about the same time; neither at the
beginning had superior natural advan-
tages over the other; nature had been
alike favorable to both. One hesitated
and fell behind in the race; the other
kept on, favored by fortune. Kenosha
was once Jealous of Racine's rapi.@
progress. but that feeling has long
since subsidized. We are glad to see
Racine push on, outranking every
city in the state, except it be Milwau-
kee. Kenosha is by no means dis
couraged; it has had many things in
the past, as we'll as much now to be
proud of. AS place of residence for
intelligent families, it is conceded to
have few, if any, superiors. Kenosha
people are justly proud of their educa-
tional institutions; so, too, they
cherish in memory many noble men,
who have resided here, labored for
humanity, and exerted an influence
that will be felt through coming time.
Their names will live, although not
inscribed on costly monuments. Keno
sha neither boasts nor claims superb.
GRITTY over neighboring cities; without
this, it has enough to satisfy all good
citizens.

OUR JAILS.

kenosha county is by no means the
only jail which the State Board is
holding up to public scorn. Waukesha
county jail as will be seen below,
comes in for a share. If the Wauke-
sha jail should be condemned by the
State Board (confscated) what ought
to he done with Kenosha Jail?
WAUKEsHA, Jan. 31.-The repeated
accounts of the crowded and I'M
healthy condition Of our county Jail
have not been without their good re-
suits, as yesterday afternoon an i'm
promptu meeting Of prominent citizens
was held at the American House and
the subject thoroughly discussed. 1t
was decided to urge our representa-
tives to special legislation upon the
matter, and in the interval to exercise
whatever influence is possible in pre-
serving the general good health of the
community. The following committee
was appointed to mature the sugges-
tons of the meeting: Rev. G. w.
Camp, Judge NJ. S GrigwOld, j. G.
Hart, E. w. Chain, III. M. Youmans.
sheriff Nickel is in favor of con-
demning the Jail, and thinks it the duty
of the State Board to do so.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

KENoSHA AND RACINE COUNTY JAILs
The forthcoming report of the State
Board of Charities and Reform, we
learn from the Milwaukee Sentinel.
will reveal most disgraceful condi-
ton of the jails of Kenosha and Ra-
cine counties. The Kenosha county
Jail was visited by the State Committee
on the 18th of September last, and
again at late period. 1t was declared
one of the dirtiest in the State, and
poor apology for Jail to begin with
1t harbors so many filthy tramps, that
it is discouraging work to keep it clean.
On the second visit of the Committee
they report the Jail full of tramps, and
the scene presented was the most re-
Voting that could be imagined. Stats
lies are given Of the number of cases
md commitments of tramps. For the
ilthy condition of the Jail, the people
should be slow to pass judgment on
he Sheriff. The want of proper jail
accommodations are such that the
Sheriff or officer having care of the
all may not be blameable. The con-
lition of the Racine county Jail. the |
committee say, is equally bad. The |

WEALTH AND POLITICAL
POWER.

In these times it is becoming more
and more apparent that men of wealth
have decidedly the advantage in MAX
ing their way to high distinction in
Office. The maxim, wealthis power"
is as old as the hills, but it has not
generally been understood to mean
that wealth monopolized the best pub
lie positions. But now wealth seems
more than ever to be asserting its su-
premacy; millionaires ride in golden
chariot to positions of power. 1t not
unfreQuently happens liz nominating
conventions the question is asked how
much money can the candidate bring
to bear to secure his election? OF the
two u. S. Senators just elected in
Colorado, one is reputed worth ten
millions and the other five millions.
There are already eleven milIionaires in
the us. Senate, to say nothing of those
who count their hundred of thousands.
Merit alone for the most responsible
offices, without money, is now in a
majority Of cases an insufficient in
dorsement. 1t was not so in the times
of old Rome; more than once when
Rome was in great peril of being rent
by factions the people cast about for a
leader. Cincinatus, an unpretentious
farmer comparatively poor, but rich
in honesty and integrity, was waited
upon while blowing il his field, and
prevailed upon to take The reins of

WHAT YOUNG MEN OF THE
CITY NEED.

All good citizens should recognize
the Importance and moral necessity OF
a room or rooms where the
young men of the city may gather for
amusement, instructive read
ing and social enjoyment. Most young
men have more or less leisure evenings,
aud some of them have leisure hours
during the day. 1t is fair to presume,
they would gladly avail themselves of
the privileges of comfortable reading
room. There are nearly thirty licensed
liquor saloons in this city, and it
would not be at all surprising if it
were found that these are patroniZed
by many young men, who would be
kept away from them were there a
pleasant place of resort, free from the
vices common to the times. Neigh
boring cities of less population than
Kenosha have provided proper resorts
for young men, and why need Kenosha
be behind in these matters? Is it be-
cause our people are so pressed and
oyer-worked with business, or is it be-
cause of indifference, that these educa-
tional and moral advantages are neg
lected? 1t is true the establishment
of reading room with its necessary
appendages, and putting it on per-
manent basis, is attended with ex-
pense. Bat Kenosha is probably as
able to bear such expense as other
cities of no greater population. There
are perhaps half dozen men in this
city, either Of whom could furnish and
equip suitable room for the purposes
indicated, without making any serious
inroad on their means.

THE PARTY OF ECONOMY AND
REFORM

During the campaign last fall the
election of Democratic members to the
legislature was urged on the ground
of putting stop to Republican extrav-
agance. 1t was alledged Republican
members had been wasteful of the
peoples money, therefore change was
needful. Well, the Democrats succeed
ed in electing majority in the Assem-
bly, of their own political persuasion.
The constitutional amendment, which
was ratified last fall, fixes the salaries
of members of the legislature at $500
each, and prohibits them from incur
ring any expenses on the part of the
State for stationery. Previous to the
constitutional amendment, members
were allowed a salary of $3.50 and each
agiVen amount of stationery. The ad-
dition of $3.50 to the salaries of men,
bers was intended to cover their ex
penses for stationery. But among the
earliest acts of the present Democratic
legislature was the continuance of
plan by which they could supply them
selves with stationery by indirection
but really in violation Of law. The
Clerk Of the House is allowed to draw
as much stationery as he may need for
his own use; his willy Democratic
friends prevailed on him to procure
ostensibly for his need, and
enough more to make a nice distribu-
ton to all the members who were for
hidden by law to obtain stationery ex-
cept at their own expense. Had Re-
publican legislature been guilty of
such unlawful acts, what a clamor,
would have been raised by the Demo-
cratic presses throughout the State?

Hall 10y an entertainment of vocal
music by the Chicago Quartette.

tured here last week, is the pastor.
The singing of the quartette evinced
much practice and voice cultivation.
Their performances appear to have
given general satisfaction to the large
audience. REGULATIONS and persona
tions of character were given by Miss
Alvord, as interludes between the
pieces sung by the quartette. Miss
AlvOrd has great versatility of genius
gliding easily from the sacred to the
ludicrous, from the sublime to the
cOmical. Perhaps some may pro-
nounce her elocution little extrava-
giant, opinions will differ. The
attendance on Monday evening was
much larger than at any preceding
evening of the course. The general
sentiment of our citizens is, the lecture
course, taken as a whole, has been an
instructive one, and financial success.

CIRCUIT JUDGE-FIRST JUDI
CTAL DISTRICT.

AS there appear to be doubts ex-
pressed as to what has been the pra.tlce |
of getting candidates for Citcuit |
Judges in this district before the peo-
pie, we have gathered information |
from newspaper files which may not |
be strictly accurate, but sufficiently SO |
for all the purposes required. It is
clearly manifest that after the sdop-
ton Of our State constitution in a648,
when the Judges of Courts were made
elective by the people, the practice of
calling nominating conventions pre-
vailed. This method was continued
for number of years, when the peo-
pie allowed it to drift into other hands
and the call system was tolerated.
The legal profession claimed that they,
more than any other class, were inter-
ested in the selection of Judges. In
our system of government it is unwise
for the people to surrender their legiti-
mate rights to any particular class of
persons. The history of judicial dec
tions in this district is as follows:
July IS, 184S, Democratic conVen-
ton was called at Darien, Walworth
county, to nominate a candidate for
Judge; the convention was represented
by three delegates from each assembly
district. Judge Noggle was nomin,
ated. About the same time Wing
Convention was held at Delevan 1--WE
think, at which E. V. Wilton was
nominated; Judge Wilton was elected.
This was the first election after the
adoption Of the state constitution in
1S4S. The term of the Office was i've
years. August 81, 1853, a convention,
known as the peoples convention, was
held at Elkhorn, Walworth County, at
which Judge Spooner was nominated.
A Democratic convention was held at
Delevan. we think, about the same
time, at which Judge Doolittle was
nominated. The election was held
Sept. 80, and Judge Doolittle was
elected. Judge Doolittle resigned in
1857 to take seat in the u. S. Senate.
Judge Spooner was appointed by the
Governor to fill vacancy. In March,
1857, Republican mass convention
was held at Delevan, at which Judge
Keep was nominated over Judge
Spooner. Keep was elected, and re-
signed in July, 1858. Judge Noggle
was appointed by the Governor to fill
the vacancy. In 1859 Keep again be-
came a candidate, also Noggle; both
run on calls; Noggle was elected. The
term of Office had been changed to six
years, and the election held in April.
In 1855 an independent mass conven-
ton was held at Elkhorn, which NOM
mated Judge Lyon for Supreme Court
Judge. Noggle ran on a call for the
same Office. Lyon was elected. Of
the three Circuit Judges since then, two
Hardness and Wentworth on
calls. Paine was appointed by the
Governor. From the foregoing such
of our readers who are not posted as
to the methods which have hith-
erto prevailed, will get ian idea of
the situation. In the change from the
convention system to the call plan, the
rights of the people have been greatly
abridged.

for the Chicago, Evanston, and Milwau
kee Co., and that this line is to run to
Madison in this State and thence on to
st. Paul. The knowing ones about here
think that this is a move by the
Mitchell roads for some purpose not
yet developed. The projected line, as
far as surveyed, runs from Evanston
to Libertyville, Fox Lake, Richmond,
Genoa Junction, and Geneva Lake,
striking the Racine road just west OF
Springfield.
