Our harbor for some time past has
presented business appearance. The
imports are chiefly lumber and coal,
and in these two commodities the bust
ness is yearly increasing. It is only of
recent date that coal came into extern
sive use. Very many farmers in this
county are substituting coal for wood,
it being regarded more convenient and
economical; and the day is probably
not far distant when coal will be used
generally for fuel. The facilities for
the reception of coal in this city are
yearly being enlarged, new wharyes
are constructed, and additional deal
ers will engage in the business.
The extensive new wharf just built by
DR.. Pennoyer and rented by q. S.
Baldwin will greatly facilitate the coal
trade.

kind, and which did active service
among the islands Of the Pacific ocean
for several years, and was wrecked
some time ago, has been replaced by a
new one. Last week new missionary

same name as the lost one, built by
contributions from the Congregational
Sunday schools of the United States,
was launched at Bath, Maine, and will
sail at once for Honolulu.

EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH: SIR-Per-
NIT me to say few more words on the
temperance question. Many who
think themselves friends of temperance
believe that all that can be done is to
regulate the traffic, so for century
they have been trying to regulate it.
It would be just as wise to try to regu-

Liquor dealers get the start. No
tice had been posted on the Exposition
grounds of Racine that no licenses for
the sale of intoxicants would be grant
ed 1t now turns out that seven beer
licenses have already been granted,
whereupon the clsrgymen of the
city and friends Of order are protest
ing, calling it a violation of under
standing. The managers who granted
the licenses plead they were in debt
for work done, and had no way to
raise the money except to sell licenses.

The Republican State Committee
continue to receive at their rooms in
Milwaukee the most encouraging re-
ports from various portions of the
state. New clubs are being organized,
and those heretofore formed are re-
ceiving additions to their ranks. The
interest is not so generally diffused in
all parts of the state as it will be; it
always happens there are some locali-
ties which are late in coming into line,

Cleveland's long expected letter of
acceptance has at last been received.
1t produces but little comment or SEN
sation, for the reason it avoids the
main issues of the campaign. On The
subject of tariff, which SO perplexes
the Democratic party, it is entirely ST.
lent. He expresses an interest for the
working men, which is sure to fine its
way into the creeds of all candidates
for office; they always dearly love the
working men, because from them
comes the greatest proportion Of the
votes.
