For the benefit of other island readers
is printed the following brief summary
of the Ashford-Webb affair. Mr.. Webb
edits the Advertiser. Mr. Ashford is a
lawyer a. wrote a letter to the Daily
Bulletin about leprosy in the public
schools, w, permitted a pseudony-
munkle to criticise A. in the 'riser, and
to mention a lady's name in an UNI
called for and wholly unjustiliablc
manner. A. called on W. and warned
him not to reprint the offensive allusion
in his weekly edition, threatening
punishment w. said he should do as
he pleased and, in an Advertiser edit
orial, warned A. that he had bought n
pistol. Saturday came. The article
appeared as previously written, and W.
took it to AS Office. A., very pro
perly considering WIS act to be "insult
to injury" thumpcd W. well, first with
a chair and then with his fists. W.
cried for help and was rescued from
further punishment A. then told w.
that he had a legal remedy if he cared
to employ it. W., however, contented
himself with writing boyish article
about the outcome of the affair, which
he termed "brutal assault" Except
for the principle involved the affair has
not been worth the ink and paper
devoted to it, II, however, it prove
the death-blow of the system which
permits currish towards to attack the
private life and family relations of their
enemies the affair will have done good,
and MIR, Webb may say with consider
able satisfaction that he has not been
whipped in vain. Now that the un-
plcasautness is over, let us hope that
there need be no further occasion for
referring TO it. Mr., Webb has been
punished MS he richly dcserved and
has taken his drubhing rather grace

in kicking a man when he is down and

OF the conditions under which the re-
ciprocal relations between the parent

monious adjustment. The treaty be
tween the United States and Hawaii is
the natural result OF harmony of in
terests, aims and aspirations. The
manifest destiny of Hawaii is IN one of
two directions the continuance Of
stable self government, upheld by the
enlightened self interest of our own

So many eastern public men persist
emily lose sight of the real commercial
advantages which ought to cement the
reciprocal union between this country
and the United States that it is very sat
isfactory to find the real point at issue
so admirably stated by a disintercsted
observer The article concludes as
follows: "lhe same interest that OPP
poses the ratification of the Mexican
treaty is about to commence a war upon
the existing reciprocity treaty with the
Hawaiian kingdom, although under
that treaty this nation has political ad-
vantages over other powers which can
not be estimated in either money or
sugar The Hawaiian government is
bound by that treaty, while it continues,
not to lease or otherwise ConCede to
any other nation than ours a foothold
in the islands, nor to admit any other
to the commercial privileges it gives to
us. The Sandwich Islands are so stu
ated with relation to our Pacific states
that they should be forever under our
political control. So imperative is that
necessity that we cannot too highly
value their consent to it. Without
such consent the time may come when
that control might have to be asserted
in a manner that would be made the
prctext for a European alliance against
us. If ever there was an occasion
when our statesmen of the senate should
be guided by something beyond the
selfish appeals of a single material in
terest 1t is now when they are called
upon to decide whether Mexico and
the Sandwich Islands should be driven
away from or be drawn nearer to the
United States OF course we are not
yet out OF the woods, If the duty
should be taken off all sugars we would
be as badly off as if we lost the treaty.
But indications point to a Democratic
policy of inaction, and if that prevails
during the present session of the United
States Congress we are safe. In the
mean time this situation of Sitting on
the ragged edge is what Mr. Dundreary
would call "doosid unpleasant" it can
be improved in only one way by bend
ing our energies to a solution of the
labor problem, and by encouraging
more diversified agricultural production,

WHAT REPUBLICANISM Ac
COMPLISHES

The State of Iowa has for quarter
of century been under unbroken
Republican rule. If there has been
anything wrong in the administration
of government in Iowa the Repnbli-
can party is responsible for it; and
whatever Of good government under
which the people of that state have
attained to their present degree of
prosperity must be credited to the
Republican party: Iowa has never
taken a retrograde movement: its
course has been steadily onward.
The recent message of the Governor
of Iowa claims, and justly, too, what
no Democratic state can claim or ever
has justly claimed Iowa is practically
free from debt; its financial Rcondition
lis unequalled by anylDemocratic state,
east OF west, north or south. No state
has better or wiser laws for the pro-
lection of persons and property, nor is
there more intelligent and orderly
people found in any other portion of
the Union. Yet Democrats have the
affrontery to say that Republican rule
cannot be trusted; that it is unsafe to
commit power into Republican hands.
By their fruits shall We know them.
When no Democratic state in the
Union. new or old. can make show
ing that bears even a faint comparison
with Iowa, decency calls for less Demo
cratic Boosting.

HOW SOME FASHIONABLE
PEOPLE TALK.

A friend, who is a curious observer
of the ways and pecaliarities of peo-
pie, relates the following incident
which is given in his own words:
While in the city of Chicago a,
short time ago, / was invited by an
acquaintance to accompany him to a
fashionable cafe, freQuented by ladies
and gentlemen in about equal num-
bers. A lady sat at table a short
distance off, apparently richly dressed
at least she wore shining ornaments
which, if not gold, were good imita-
lions of that metal. Her consequent
tial manner was calculated to attract
attention; she kept one of the table
walters on trot to supply her wants
Her imperious requests ran thus
:" Waitaw, hand me the buttaw, also 3
glass of wataw." Then again, Wait,
aw, fetch me some Clipped fried pota
taw." Very exquisite, wasn't it; or is
it better to say, very prettaw?
AS an appendage to the foregoing
the following, which is going the
rounds of the newspapers, is added:
"Ma, I'm Tnows17. Mayn't enter
society?" "YOu will have to ask
YOUR father. Lizzie" ooh. but he's so
grum; I'm afraid to- "Speak to him
prettlly, dear, and he will hear you
He's in the sitting-room." Lizzie sum.

EDUCATIONAL.

Our systems of education are popu-
lar, but not popular enough. They are
all tributary to collegiate education,
and collegiate education is the privi-
lege of the few. We ought to add in
dustrial systems and Top off classical
systems: We ought to cut off the top
that we may broaden the base. 1t is
the bounden duty OF every father and
mother in the land to educate the
daughter as they do the son to some
practical bread-winning pursuit. That
should be the rule and not the. excep-
ton. A girl should be so trained, so
that with either head or hand, as artist
or artisan, she viii be enabled to go
into the worlds market with some
thing which the world wants, and for
which the world will pay money.

KFNOSHA WOMEN FORTY

Two weeks ago the arrival in this

most active in all useful enterprises of
the early settlers. The streets of the
new village We're covered with loose
sand from four to six inches deep, rem
dering walking disagreeable and tire
some. To obyiate the troublesome
sand the women of the town formed a
society called the Southport Plank
Walk Society, of which Mrs. Wheeler
was chosen President. This society
raised funds and purchased plank en-

streets. This being done, the atten.
ton of the women was turned to i'm

Wendell Phillips. long known as one
of the most distinguished orators in
this country, died in Boston on Satur-
day last, aged 10 years. He was the
first in New England to lead off in
the cause of anti-slavery. and at time
when any man who ventured to raise
his voice in behalf of the slave was
subjected to the grossest insult, if not
treated with personal violence. The
oldest citizens of Kenosha doubtless
will recollect when Wendell Phillips
delivered his lecture on the The Lost
Arts" in this city in December, 1856.
This lecture was probably delivered by
him some hundreds of times, in vari-
GUS cities of the Union, and was
doubtless the most popular ever given
in this country, especially for its
graceful delivery by Mr.. Phillips.

a grand success. When we got there
the town was full of people; "Chear

advantages of such a fair, that we

If every village and city in Wisconsin
had such a fair once month. we
would soon see q wonderful improve
ment in our county fairs.
Two of Randall's manageable men
seem to have considerable business at
Kenosha lately, and their friends are
wondering what it can be. AS neither
of them has taken US into his conf

mighty suggestive remark. He said
he was taken with chill during his

Persons who have given some atten-
ton to the matter. express the opinion
that not less than one hundred and
fifty persons, including children, have
moved to Dakota from Kenosha. coun.
ty within the past two years. This is
not remarkable emigration, but, IN
view of the staid and contented charac-
ter of the people Of the county, the
number is considerable. The places
made vacant by those who have left
the county will hardly be filled by an
equal number of new residents from

QUEEN,S SPEECH.

Queen Victorias SPECIFIC on the open
ing of the British Parliament was de-
livered on Tuesday last. The speech
.of the Queen is but another name for
message of the President on the open
ing of Congress. There is che notice
able difference, the speech of the Queen
usually occupies about half a newspa-
per column, while the Presidents mes
sage covers seven or eight columns.
The Queens speech is chiefly devoted
to the relations of the government
with foreign nations. Just at present
the affairs of Egypt engross the atten-
ton of Parliament, and the policy of
the government towards that country
is made the subject of warm discus
sion. The Queen says there has Leen
a substantial improvement in the con-
dition of Ireland. Measures will at
once be presented for the enlargement
OF the franchise. in parliamentary sec
tons throughout the United Kingdom.
