TRUE HUMANITY.

One of our citizens, proverbial for
his deeds of generous humanity, per-
formed a noble service one night last
week. The mercury was far down be-
low zero; piercing cold had driven al
most every human being indoors, to
escape the polar wave. This kindly
hearted and benevolent citizen, heard
of men, women and chil0ren out
side of the city limits, in q poorly
sheltered condition, scantily clothed,
destitute of the comforts ana neces-
saries of life, and In danger of perish
ing. With heroic courage and resolu.
ton, he brayed the rigors of a night
from which many men less impelled
with the spirit of humanity would
have shrank from. He conveyed
blankets and other necessaries, to make
the little ones comfortable, and render
the condition of the older ones endur-
able. He did not cease his efforts in
this benevolent work until eleven
o'clock at night. Now with many
persons the inquiry will naturally at
once be raised, who were these suffer
ing people? What was the measure
of their responsibility and what their
history? Were.they deserving of such
kind attention? These inquiries are
made by superficial people, just as if
the humanity of the act was to be
judged by the character and social
standing of the distressed. A truly
humane man who sees a fellow.being

ting of no delay without mourning
much suffering, it is inhumanity to
turn deaf ear to the call. The Great
Teacher, who taught as man never
taught, did not counsel the giving of
aims or the doing of acts of kindness
to only the respectable poor.
In addition to the foregoing act of
benevolence, it should be mentioned
that Rev. Father Cleary interested
himself, and caused many comforts to
be sent to them.

A short time since, a vessel came in
to port in New York; among the pas
sengers was lone Chinaman; he was

law in this christian country. Instead

right to land on our American soil
And why this hate of the Chinaman
Is it because he is industrious and
works cheap?

Mr.. Morrison, the leading Democrat
in the House from Illinois, and a free
trader. on being interviewed on the
prospect of a change in the existing
tariff said, :" if the protection Demo-
Gratis shall choose to unite with the
Republicans, it will not be possible for
MS to pass a bill even through the
House, as the protection Democrats
and Republicans undoubtedly hold a
majority" 1t will require no bargain
to bring that result; the Republicans
are committed to reasonable protec-
ton, and if the tariff Democrats unite
with them certainly no Republicans
can object.

gains full control of both houses of
Congress; then it will do better to
make the demand for payment of loss
es of property in slaves.
But to all this it is replied, that the
amendments to the constitution adopt
ed since the close of the war of the
rebellion prohibit the payment of such
claims, one of which declares that all
claims on the United States for loss of
property in slaves shall be held illegal
and void. This at first view would
seem to present an insurmountable
barrier to the recovery of loss for
slave property. But the obstacles
which the constitutional amendments
interpose are not absolutely insur.
mountable. There have been amend
ments to the constitution at different
periods; the same exercise of power
which brought about the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
is competent to repeal them. As I'M
expected to the people of the North as
would be the setting aside a constitu-
tional amendment, or, by other pro.
cedure, the South should ultimately
succeed in obtaining the value of the
lost property. it would be no more
strange than events which have before
happened in the history of nations.

Bishop Ireland, of st. Paul, is deliv.
ering series of temperance lectures in
Milwaukee. From his statements il
appears the Catholic church is rising
in its strength to put down the evil OF
liquor drinking; that the church has a
national organization to which state
societies are auxiliaries. The Bishop
is in favor of strictly enforcing the
laws against the Sunday traffic. also
in favor of high license, as in Illinois.
which imposes tax OF $500 in cities
and $1,000 in the country. While the
temperance organization is an adjunct
of the Catholic church, all other creeds
and denominations are invited to CO.
operate and assist.

HISTORIC TEMPERANCE.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has been
furnished with copy of temperance
document in Kenosha, being an agree
ment entered into by over eighty male
citizens, whose names are appended to
a pledge to abstain from Intoxicating
drinks for five years, from the Sth
of January, 1844-forty years ago
Tuesday last. Of these eighty persons
full one-half are now known to be
dead; most of the still living now re-
side elsewhere, and about half a
dozen are now living in this city. The
document is well worth preserving,
and the few survivors Of those whose
names are appended to the historic
document might well have made the
doth anniversary of the signing of the
pledge the occasion for a temperance
demonstration.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR BOYS.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL
FOR BOYS.
The school building which has been
in process of construction for some
months past in Chicago, Cor boys in
dustrial training school, it is announc-
ed, will be in readiness for the recep-
ton of pupils on the first Of February
next. This is not the first educational
movement of the kind in the west. st.
Louis has preceded Chicago. There
is no reasonable doubt but other cities
in the west will follow the example, as
from present indications there is
growing demand for manual labor in
struction in schools, where both the
head and the hand may be educated.
The reasonableness of such education
commends itself to the common sense
of mankind. It is not reasonable to
suppose that the vast multitude of
boys who are receiving their education
in the public schools can all live by
their wits, after having acquired a re-
spectacle education. AS a general rule,
the best mechanics, and the most ex-
pert Workmen in any of the trades, are
those who in early life, by their own
volition, or the advice Of others, have
turned their attention to some partic-
ular occupation. But it so happens
that more than three-fourths of the
school boy population have no definite
and fixed purpose as to their future
employments; even those who have
purpose receive no practical instruc-
ton to the end in view.
The capacity Of the Chicago training
school will be for the accommodation
of $50 boys, provided with ten teach
ers. It is required of scholars who en-
ter the Institution that they shall pass
an examination in spelling, penman-
CAAP, ohlUA1nOOlC, SldulHldI duu g6OS-
raphy. Book studies and trade learn
ing will be so divided as may be for
the best advantage Of each. Wherever
the practice of these joint studies has
been tried, it is claimed that scholars
enter with greater relish on the study
OF books after a few hours Of manual
labor work; also that they betake
themselves to the trades with greater
alacrity when the hour for change ar
riyes. There are already a large num-
Der of applicants for admission to the
industrial school. and, what is encour-
aging, boys whose parents belong to
the better class of citizens are among
the applicants. Men of wealth deem
it a prudent precaution to make pro.
vision for their sons by helping them
to trade, which can be made avail
able when blythe unforeseen reverses
of fortune riches take wings.

Two of the Democratic members of
Congress from Wisconsin are intent
on doing their country services which
shall perpetuate their names. Mr.
Deuster, Of Milwaukee, moves to
amend the constitution, to take from
Congress and State Legislatures the
power to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of anything into the compost
ton of which products of the soil en-
ter. What can this mean? The Mil.
waukee Sentinel explains: Mr.. Deus

beer in his mind, if not in his body,
when he employed this circumlocution.
The products Of the soil enter into the
manufacture of whiskey and beer,

1t appears to be the determined pur.
pose of the powers of Europe to ex.
elude the importation of American
pork. Germany was among the first
to issue an order of prohibition
France also does not want pork from
this country. Our foreign diplomats
have been reasoning with the Euro.
pean Governments on the injustice of
this discrimination against American
pork. The discussions have been
earnest on both sides, but so far with
good temper, and it is hoped will con.
tinue to be conducted in friendly
way. A war about the rights of the
American hog in the ports of Europe
would be the most novel recorded in
history for many year.

MILWAUKEE, SENTINEL

Attention is invited to the prospec-
tus of the Milwaukee Sentinel in
another column of this paper. The
Sentinel is an old established paper,
and has a reputation of being an infu-
entail and talented public journal. In
the matter of news, foreign and do
nestle, it occupies a position in rank
with the leading dailies in the west.
Its facilities for obtaining early news
from different parts of the state, and
the northwest in general, are well ar
ranged. AS political journal, the
Sentinel is decidedly Republican, and
an able exponent of the principles of
the party. As a family newspaper, it
carefully avoids all Objectionable read
ing matter. Persons DESTROYS of a
well.conducted newspaper will find the
Sentinel of that class.

Our esteemed friend of the Racine

sion OF the last Congressional election
in this district. He does not attemnt

method by which his nomination for
Congress was secured was fairly stated.

role of an Independent" in his votes

mains to be seen; his home neighbors
appear to believe he will not. The
Advocate editor says, he did all in his
power to elect John Winans." This
does not sound strange, for if we mis-
take not the editor of that paper has
Tor years past exercised his personal
right to advocate and vote for either
Democrats or Republicans, as he deem
ed most proper. If to be steadfast
and consistent Republican is what is
meant by being machine politician
then it would be well if there were
more such. A tiuctuating and shifting
voting population does not conduce to
a stable government. With .Tohn w;

well proven its efficacy in forty years fight

AN UNVJSE COURSE.

The amendments to the Civil Service bill, ap-
proycd by the Senate on Monday night should
be defcated-for the sake OF the Reform ana Tor
the sake of the Republican party. 1t was eN-
uectcd that the Democrats would do all 'hey
could to weaken the measure; but kepuDllcahS
cannot afford to follow their lead.
The civil law was passed by the Democrats
last wear. The purpose of the present bill was
to strengthen it. Instead OF doing so the
Senate amendments emasculatc 1t. 1t would
be proper that soldiers aud sailors who pass the
examinations should be given preference.
There is such a provision III the Federal act
But to exempt them altogether, and thus pro-
vide way to nullify the law, is indefenslble.
The soldiers and sailors ask for no such leglsla-
ton.
The amendments to exempt from the proVl-
sions of the bill the police and fire departments
are wholly in the interests of the politicians
who now control those appointments. Such
exemption is not sought by the members OF the
notice force, nor by the fremen; and can be OIL
no service to them. If these amendments are
finally adopted there is practically little re-
naming in the bill.
This gains no votes, and brings the Republl-
can party into peril. We ask our friends al
Albany to reconsider their course.
