The indications are that the present
session Of the legislature will not be
short, but probably long one. For
the first time in many years the DEM
ocrats have control of the Assembly f;
they like the situation, enjoy their easy
chairs, look up complacently at the
spectators in the galleries, realize the
fact that they hold the controlling pow
er in the House, and seem disposed to
have long good time of it. No one
can blame them; they have been out in
the cold a good while, and now come
in to take their turn as the dispensers
of patronage, instead of being COM
PEELED to pick up such crumbs as were
thrown them. All good citizens will
say, give these legislators, who rode
into power on the popular wave last
fall, a fair chance; do not PREJUDICE
them, but wait and see whether the
legislation they may devise is whole
some or unwholesome. 1t is possible
their advent to power may be over
ruled for the best.

Of their liberty, were being hemmed in

ready acquiescence in, or indifference
to, the invasion of individual private
rights of the citizen by the body polite,

is that to us? See thou to that" being
the practical response to complaint
the answer to what, under an inlprooed
civilization, ought to be as much the
affair of each citizen as If themselves
were the injured one.
If judicial administration has this un-
deniable tendency, how necessary then.
and with what scrupulous care should
the people of this Judicial District
make choice of the man who for the
next six years shall administer the law,
and who, to very great extent, since
the decadence of the jury system, much
more than formerly, is to be. perhaps,
the arbirer of their individual destiny,
the disposer of their estates, and not
the least of whose qualifications should
be, that his upright character shall rem
der them happy or miserable, as he
prove to be
"A terror to evil doors. praise to them that
do welln
or the opposite.
The qualifications of Judge may be
thus summed up:
1. He should be of undoubted
moral character, temperate in his hab.
its, and of strict integrity
2. He should be well verseG in the
fundamental principles of the law,
based as they are despite perversion),
upon the principle that right should
triumph over wrong in all cases.
8. He should give evidence that he
will be impartial in his judgments.
4. He should be kind and concilia-
tory in his manners, and, in conformity
to the spirit of American institutions,
should be easily approachable, firm in
judgment, yet kind in manner.
"Suaviter in modo, fortfter in re-"
5. It is not at all essential that he
should be an adept in sharp practice y
1t is rather the business of a Judge to
see fair play, and to frown upon and
discourage it. Have we a Judge
among us possessing these qualities
tions? If so, and he has had opportum-
| ty to show chem, it ought not to be
difficnlt to secure his nomination and
election. Where unjust Judges bear
sway, the people mourn, and mistake
in selection is an evil not easily rene
died. B

tions ranged from 10000 to $4,000.
Wisconsin had the largest number Of
inhabitants (123,0OO). Northern Da
kota is not understood as seeking adj
mission now, although it has an esti-
mated population larger than nine
teen of the states had DIT the time of
their entrance.
Besides moro than the required
number of inhabitants, Dakota has
more than ordinary claim for recogni-
5ion as an independent state. It has
six hundred school houses, two hun
dred church edifces, from ninety to a
hundred newspaper establishments.
It has also 1850 miles of constructed
railway, and, better still, the census of
1880 showed the number unable to read
and write to be less per cent than
any State or Territory in the Union,
with only two slight exceptions. An
unusual proportion of the inhabitants
are young men, largely from the north
western states.
The chief object in giving this brief
sketch of the condition of Dakota is
to impress the people of the injustice
which will be done by Congress, If that
Territory is denied admission into the
Union. Never did Territory ask ad-
mission with better claim. What.
then, are the objections in the minds
of class of Senators and Representa-
tives to welcoming Dakota to the
family Of States? In their partisan
thinking Dakota has been guilty of q
grievous sin; it had the wickedness to
show strong preference for the Re-
publican party in the Territorial cleo
ton last fall. If the Democrats in
Congress, for such reason. shall deny
Dakota admission, it will be strange i
it does not react upon them.

HINTS TO TEAcHERS

/. Remember that the School Boards
officially represent the people.
2. Assume that in fact they conform
to the will of the people.
8. Do not assume prerogatives which
do not belong to you.
4. Recognize that School Boards
have rights which you are bound to
respect.
5. Do not try to enforce opinions in
which you are not seconded by the
Board.
6. Have a distinct understanding
with your Board as to what measures
they will endorse.
Z. AS long as you remain in their
employ. perform the duties they require
of you.
s. Receive their directions as from
those who have the right to command.

HINTS TO SCHOOL BOARDS.

l. Sustain your teachers as long as
you keep them.
2. Be as silent as an oyster when
tempted to speak disparagingly of your
teachers.
8. Speak we'll of the school when op-
portunities offer.
4. If you object to the ways of your
teachers, tell them SO privately, but
do not proclaim it from the house tops.
5. Do not think the world has come
to an end when an irate parent comes
in like raging cyclone breathing ven,
gence from every pore. Soothe him,
calm him, and tell him to mind his
business, shame him, or-put him out,
as occasion demands. The sooner you
give him and all others to understand
that the teachers are going right on,
and that you are going to sustain them.
the sooner you will have peace.
6. Do not, for any matter of personal
feeling, denounce the teacher and ruin
the school.
I. Do not, at least, s. far as you are
concerned, let family or neighborhood
quarrels interfere with the success of
1.-THE schools.
s. Give your teachers at least one
WORD of praise to two of censure.
! 9. If you chance to get an incompe-
tent teacher. ask him to resign, or sus.
tain and aid him in every way In your
power, that the best may be made of a
bad matter.
10. If you, yourselves, have been
teachers, do not try to graft your meth
DDS upon the teachers. Each can teach
best IN his own way.
II. Do not weaken in your support
of the teachers in cases of discipline
when it chances that certain favored
children are the offenders.
IL. Do not think that young teach
er will make no mistakes. Exercise {
heaAthful charity.-American EducG-
tor.

Our State Senator from this senator
ial district, including the counties of
Kenosha and Walworth, is probably
not generally known to the people Of
this county. The following brief sketch
of him is taken from the Lake Gelaeca
Herald:
Hon. Charles Palmetier, represent
ing Kenosha and Walworth counties,
is the senator from the Eighth District.
The population Of the district is 3d.
100. Mr.. Palmetier is from Lake
Geneva, where he has resided since
1S47. He was born in Catskill, Green
county, N. Y, December 20, 1884, and
is therefore just a few days over 4S
years old. He received a common
school education, and is by occupation
q lumber dealer. He enlisted October
5, 1851, in Co. X. 9Th Wis. Vol. Inf,
which is known as the Eagle" regi-
ment, from the fact that sold Abe"
the war eagle, was carried by it
through the war. Mr.. Palmetier was
appointed 4th sergeant in 1861, I'd lieu
tenant in October, 1862; and promoted
to first lieutenant in May, 1865; was
discharged September 5, 1856, after
four years, service. He participated in
the battles of Fredericktown, Farming
ton, Corinth, Iuka, the siege of Vicks-
burg and all the other battles of the
regiment. He has held various local
offices and was delegate to the Chica-
go convention in 1880 that nominated
Garfield for President. He was elected
state Senator in 1881, and his term of
Office will expire Jan. /, 1855"

TARIFF OR FREE TRADE.

Party lines appear to be more clearly
defined at the present time in Congress
on the questions Of tariff and free
trade than at any previous session.
Formerly free trade advocates were
found in both political parties, also
was this the case with the tariff adj
herents. Recent votes in the Senate
and House, involving these issues in
dictate the Democrats now generally
range themselves ON the side of free
trade and the Republicans for tariff.
If party divisions should continue to
take shape as now appears, the Demo
cratic party will go before the people
in the next Presidential election, declar-
ing for free trade, and the Republicans
for tariff. These are two distinct
principles of government policy, which
the people will carefully consider.
People generally will estimate the adj
vantages and disadvantages as follows
Free trade will bring cheaper silks.
broadcloths, shoes and boots, most
articles of clothing, also almost every
kind of fine and fancy goods, to the
purchaser. Here is temptation to
free trade. Set over against this is
the certainty of the reduction of the
wages of the laboring classes, especial
ly the thousands employed in the man
ufactories, and in the mechanical in
dustries. The conclusion seems legiti-
mate: If we produce goods of all the
varieties as cheap in this country as in
Europe, labor must be obtained as
cheap here as abroad. The question,
therefore, resolves itself to direct and
simple form: is it better to have cheap
goods for the mass of the people, or is
it better the wages of millions Of work.
ing men should not be reduced to
obtain cheap foreign goods?

The third lecture of the Kenosha
lecture course was delivered by Hon.
Schuyler Colfax, of South Bend, Indi-
ana, In Apollo Hall on Monday even
ing last. The attendance was good,
embracing much of the intellectual
culture of the city. The subject, " Our
Martyred Presidents" Lincoln and
Garfield was treated with ability.
Although the prominent events in the
lives of those two distinguished men
are familiar with all reading people,
still the speaker supplemented their
written histories with much of Incl
dent and anecdote which was new; in
this consisted one of the chief merits
of the lecture. Considered as lectur-
or and public speaker, Mr.. Colfax. it is
said, had good Evolutionary training
in his early years; of this he gives
evidence by his well chosen attitudes
on the platform, and his appropriate
gestures, "suiting the action to the
sentiment"
