OBITUARY.

Died, in the city Of Racine, on Mon
day. November nth, Frederick I'll.
Frank. This young man was born in
Kenosha, where he spent his child
hood and school-boy days. As his
residence during the past twelve or
more years was in Milwaukee and Ra-
cine, few paragraphs are taken from
notices of his death in papers published
where he was best known. A Racine
correspondent of the Milwaukee Senti-
mel, of date November 18th, speaks of
him as follows:
AFTER suffering three weeks with
the most malignant type of diphtheria,
Fred. Frank died this afternoon at St.
Luke's Hospital. Mr.. Frank was %
years of age, the son of Col. and Mrs.
NJ. Frank, of Kenosha, and one of the
best known and popular young men of
this city. For many years he held a
trusted position in the Office of Fish
Bros, s. Co.. afterward going to Mil
Waukee and making an unsuccessful
attempt TO establish himself in bust
ness. He returned here, and on the
27th of October last was taken ill.,
The Racine papers, noticing his sick
ness and death, speak of him in like
manner. The Racine Journal of the
same date, describing the circumstances
of his sickness. thus announces his
death:
"The many friends of Fred. Frank
will be panied to learn of his demise,
which occurred at Las this afternoon.
The deceased was a well known and
popular young man, and respected by
all who knew him. He was son of
Col. M. Frank, of Kenosha, an old
resident of that place, who will have
the heartfelt sympathy of all in this
sad bereavement"
His funeral took place on Wednes-
day. being conducted by the Knights
of Pythias. of which he was member
and from which order he received kind
attentions during his sickness. st.
Luke's Hospital, praiseworthy in
stitution, under the auspices of the
Episcopal church, not sectarian, was
unremitted in efforts for his recovery
The funeral obsequies consisted in a
brief religious service at the residence
of ]. R. Brearley, near the Hospital
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Piper, of Racine
College, and Chaplain of st. Luke's
Hospital. The Knights of Pythias and
the friends in carriages followed the
deceased to Kenosha cemetery, W here
the last tribute to the dead was paid.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 81, 1884.

The Prohibitionist leaders in this
state held conference at Madison last
week. 1t was agreed to form Prohi-
bition clubs in every town on more
strictly binding rules than heretofore,
as so many professed Prohibitionists
neglected to vote that ticket at the late
election. An attempt will be made to
prevent the party from going into
pieces, after the falling off in its vote
since the previous election. The
ground was taken that no prohibitory
law could be enforced, if passed by
either of the two great parties, but to
secure enforcement the Prohibition
lists, as party, must come into power
This, at the rate of advancement in
this state, would put off prohibition
to a period beyond human calculation.

THE CONTEST ENDED.

After long protracted counting and
Sitting the returns Of the election in
the state of New York, it is settled
that Grover Cleveland is elected by
about 1, 100 votes, a remarkably close
vote in poll of 100000. The Re-
publican party accepts the situation,
however disagreeable it may be. The
office of President must be respected,
whether the incumbent of it is entitled
to respect or not. There can be no
concealing the fact that the great body
Of the Republican party feel Inundated
that a man of the moral and social
standing of Cleveland should occupy
the highest office in the gift of the
American people. 1t is sad COM
mentary on our public morals, and can
not be otherwise than discreditable to
our national reputation abroad. The
defeat of Blaine was brought about
not alone by the Democratic party, but
by the conglomerated factions of other
parties, Among the foremost of these
opposing forces were the Prohibition
lists, the leaders of which now boast
that they defeated Blaine and the Re.
publican party-that is, they glory in
defeating the only party that ever
favored temperance legislation. The
Prchibitionists declare themselves
against all other existing parties, and
claim to be the only legitimate or
ganization worthy Of support. How
this small fragment of voters ever ex.
pect to accomplish the legislation they
seek without the help of the parties
they now abuse surpasses human COM
prehension.

WISCONSIN AuTUMNS.


Wisconsin was long ago proverbial
for its delightful autumn weather.
The early settlers in this state were
accustomed to write to their east
ern friends, giving glowing des
criptions of Wisconsin fall months.
The bright sunshine, the freedom from
cold storms, the mild atmosphere and
the gorgeous coloringS of the forest,
were the themes of many a descriptive
correspondent, not a few indulging in
poetic rapture. Ten years later, after
the first settlement, there came no
ticeable change; the autumn skies
were sombre, the storm clouds shadow
ed the day with greater frequency, the
winds were more chilling and the sur
roundings of nature less inviting.
The autumn lost many of its charms,
and letter writers to their friends
abroad spoke less praisingly of the
climate. Whether the old-time Wis
consin pleasant fall weather, which
sometimes lasted until January, will
ever return to gladden. the people and
make happy the children on the grassy
lawn, no one can tell. Ask any old
settler who came to Wisconsin from
thirty-fve to over forty years ago, and
his recollections of the past will cor
respond with these statements. The
autumn one year ago was faint
reminder of early times; the present
autumn promises well, and may 90
far to restore the halcyon days of long
time past.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
In reply to Republican" in last
weeks TELEGRAPH, have this to say
First. / voted for the Cleveland
electors; l tried to persuade others to
vote for them; and am not ashamed
of any thing said or did in connection
with the late election. But have no
abusive terms to bestow upon those
who voted for Mr.. Blaine.
Second. In June / stated that
Blaine would run behind Gafeld's vote
of four years ago. The event has
justified my prediction. The vote on
President in Randall four years ago
was: Garfield, eighty-seven; Hancock,
fifty-two; majority, thirty-five. This
year the vote stood: Blaine, eighty
two; Cleveland, fifty-seven; majority
twenty-five. Blaine's vote was five
and his majority ten less than Gar
fields. IT Republican" is satisfied
with these figures, he is welcome to all
the comfort he can get out Of them.
Third. In common with thousands
of other Republicans. I refused to sup
port Blaine, because I believed that
the evidence plainly proved him to be
dishonest man and unfit for Presi-
dent.
/ shall hereafter vote as my con-
science and judgment dictate, un-
trammeled by party ties and unawed
by the party lash.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE
CONSIDERED

Periodically there comes the question
how can the tumult attending Presi
Dental elections be avoided? The
long and exciting campaign just ended
the confusion and turmoil which has
produced stagnation in the business OF
the country, and the general demoraliz
alton which inevitably follows such
proceedings, raises the inquiry wheth-
er there is not better way to carry on
the legitimate purposes of government
The Herald suggests as a reformatory
measure that the Presidential term be
extended to six years. The advantages
and disadvantages of this are about
equal. The Chicago Times proposes
the election of President for during
life; the Judges of the Supreme Court
have life tenure of office. 1t is true
a Judge is an officer having only judi
clal functions, while the President has
specific duties prescribed by the con.
stltutlon, among which are transmit
ting to Congress measures of legisla.
ton which he deems important. It Of
ten happens that no greater interest is
attached to his recommendations than
to any other man. Whatever merit a
life tenure might have, it may be taken
for granted the people of this country
will never be contented to elect a
President for life term.
The Milwaukee Sentinel offers some
suggestions that appear practicable.
The editor of that paper spent several
years in Switzerland as American
Minister, and had the best of advan.
tages for judging of the system of the
Swiss government and its workings.
The following are the main features.
as given in the Sentinel:
"The Swiss. instead of vesting the
whole executive p over of their nation
al government in one man, give it TO a
council of seven members, who are
chosen by the national legislative body
at its first session after an election.
Each member of this council has an
equal voice in public affairs, and a
majority decides. Each one Of them
is also the head Of one of the depart
ments of the government. Elected by
the legislative body for a term coin
dent with that of its own members.
the legislature ard the executive are
likely to be in political accord. This
system has prevailed in Switzerland |
since 1S4S, and has worked admirably.
1t is true Switzerland is small, while
ours is great country, but it is COM
posed of twenty-five different states,
with population that includes three
different races and languages. between
whom there is a considerable diversity
If interests, and great diversity OF
sentiment. If we are to make any |
change in the present system, the
swiss executive offers an example
more in harmony with Republican in
titutions than that of President for
ife."

The Baltimore and Ohio is still on
deck and more saucy than ever when
it comes to talking out in meeting OF
the interest of the travelling public,
as against the actions of some other
and would-be rival lines. Its latest
shot into the camp of the high-priced
and fancy-fixings lines is a hot one, and
already there is squirming and twist
ing to get away from the inevitable.
But there is no use of kicking against
the prodding, and the average man
nowadays knows thing or two

advertisements of those who want the

cannot blind him to the actual state of
affairs. To pay eight or ten dollars
extra for the simple riding on road
that assumes all there is in this life
worth having is all bosh, and no longer
will the dividends of railroad company
and subsidiary corporations alike
swell at the expense of an over-confid-
| ing public. The B. and o. has Itself
gone into the limited" express train
business, and, as is ever the rule with
everything done by the solid old cor
poratiOn, the people profit, and would.
be rival lines vince. On all the
limited" trains of other routes sum
is exacted largely in excess OF the re-.
gular ticket rate, and the passenger.
whether it be his choice or not, has to
pay another extra in the shape of
sleeping car fare. If he decline to ac-
cept the conditions so arbitrarily ex-
acted, he has perforce to 60 on slow
train, as, according to the latest princi-
pies of these autocratic companies. fast
time is only for the wealthy. On the
B. and o. the best is ever deemed the
honest due for all, and the great
American maxim that every man is
his own master to follow his own
sweet will has ever been the all
governing rule of its half century aid
more of existence. In other words.
there are no extra charges of any
character whatsoever on the B. and O..
and, fguratively speaking; if a man
don't want hash, he don't have to take
it. 1t he desires sleeper, parlor car,
there it is, and the rate for accommo-
dations is only the regular standard
figure, not doubled up, as on other
lines. in the interest Of an already all
powerful and rich sleeping-car COM
bination.
