DEAD LANGUAGES IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS,

J. Il. Doolittle, Jr., son of Judge
D0olittle, Of Racine, and chief Of the
Board of Education in Chicago, has
notified the Board that he is in favor
of abolishing the studies of the dead
languages in the public high schools
after the close Of the present term.
Most right-thinking people will agree
with Mr.. Doolittle that the dead lam
guages should have no place in the pub
lie schools. for the reason they are UNI
necessary to a good education, and
therefore have no right to burden free
schools with the expense. The pri-
mary object Of the public free school
system is to furnish good education
to all in the essential branches of
learning. If students desire any ex-
ira branches, they should be required
to pay for them in colleges and semi
naries, which are established for that
purpose. There is no real benefit de-
rived from the study of the dead Ian
guages; there is nothing in them
worth knowing that has not been
translated into good English many
years ago. Those who desire to look
into the dead past for their own graft
fication can avail themselves of those
institutions where learned professors
dispense that kind of knowledge.

IRELAND-cHANGB OF POLICY.

Mr.. Parnell ard his Irish followers
in Parliament have, to the surprise of
all, voted with Gladstone, the great
leader in the British Parliament 1t
will prove in the end that Ireland has
no better friend than Gladstone, the
greatest of England's statesmen. The
measure for the extension of suffrage
introduced and advocated by Glad
stone, which confers the right of vot-
ing on two millions in ENGLAND, Scot
land and Ireland, who have hitherto
not had this right, is as much for the
benefit of Ireland as England. What
Ireland has long complained of is that
the people could not be heard for the
lack of fair representation in parlia-
ment. The measure for the extension
of suffrage was recently carried by a
vote of $40 to 210, most decisive
triumph for popular rights. Parnell
is opposed to the dynamite policy, and
declares it has set the cause of Ire
lands deliverance back for years.
Violence and murder will never gain
for Ireland the respect Of the civilized
world. Gladstone win do Ireland jus.
tice if the people of the Emerald Isle
adopt peaceable means for redr ess.

COURT MATTERS.

Kenosha County Circuit Court COM
menced its session in this city on Mon
day last. Judge Winslow presiding.
There are nine cases on the calendar
for jury trial, two criminal cases, and
two issues of fact for the Court. This
is great contrast in the amount of
business in the court compared with
former years.
Twenty-Five and thirty years ago
four times as many cases were found
on the Circuit Court calendar for trial
as in these later years. The number
of lawyers whose names now appear
on the printed court calendar for this
county is twelve; so if the civil cases
in court were divided among the
twelve lawyers it'll would give only
three. quarters of a case to each. Not
withstanding the law business pre-
SCENTS such an unpromising field for
ouCCCOo, iOW IOCIulU dlc CuHGtuudily
crowding into the profession. Young
men are now spoken of in this vicinity
who contemplate entering upon the
study of the law. If a young man
should be seen fencing out farm on a
treeless, CRASHES sand plain, expect
ing to realize profit by the growing
of crops, his sound judgment would be
questioned. The tendency of the age
is for those styled genteel young men
to avoid industrial pursuits involving
hard labor, and betake themselves to
the professions, to live by their wits.
Unless this current is arrested and
changed in it's direction, the real
wealth producers will continue to
diminish, and those who are only con-
will proportionally multiply.

THE FUNERAL.

The funeral services of Mr.. John
B. Petit, whose obituary is found in
another column, took place ON Tues
day afternoon in st. Matthew's church.
Although a rain storm prevailed
through the entire day, at the appoint
ed hour large gathering of relatives,
friends and sympathizing citizens filled
the church. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. French, Rector
of the church, in his usual impressive
manner. A quartette choir consisting
of Lou Yout, and Richard aRobin-
son, of Racine, and Mrs. Brown and
Miss Hawley, of Kenosha, rendered
the funeral chants beautifully, and a
hymn, abide with me-" The stores,
banks, manufacturing establishments
and other places of business were
closed during the hours Of service.
When a good man dies it is appro-
pirate to pause for brief time amidst
the busy affairs of life for reflection
while the last rites are being paid to
the dead.

POTATO CULTURE.

The potato is vegetable deserving higher
place as farm crop than is commonly given
it. Cheap as food easy of cultivation, indis-
penssble on the table every day in the year,
and Iwithal good enough for king. why
should farmers plant it so sparingly? Two
hundred bushels of potatoes per acre is as
fair an average as so bushels of oats, as they
usually bring as much per bushel as oats.
Surely they should pay for the extra labor.
But to leave them entirely out of question
as q commercial article. Every producer
should at least raise enough for home use in
case of minimum crop. and should the crop
be abundant and the market oversioeked
they will pay for cultivation as food for
live stock. Without combating the idea that
every farmer knows how to grow potatoes
better than his neighbor. or claiming to
advance any new ideas on the subject, |
give herewith successful method. Select q
piece of ground at some distance from last

THAT THREE THOUSAND
MAJORITY.

The report which went out from
Milwaukee on the morning after the
late election that the Republicans had
elected their Mayor by 1900 majority,
and that the meaning was declara-
ton for high license, sounded pleasing
ly to the friends Of law and order a
great way off. But when the new
Mayor, after election, invited the tenn
perance people and the liquor dealers
to meet in his Office to talk over the
matter and fix on license satisfactory
to the whisky dealers, outside people
were in doubt whether it was a saloon
keepers triumph or a victory for
temperance. 1t seems after all to
have been draw game.

OBSERVANCE OF EASTER,

The observance of Easter SUNDAY
with appropriate religious services
and floral decorations, once mostly
peculiar to the Episcopal churches, is
now becoming general in the Protest
ant churches of almost. every name.
Last Sunday in the Episcopal church
in this city a sermon adapted to the
occasion was preached by Rev. Mr..
Elmerdcrf, of Racine College. The
floral display was beautiful. In the
Congregational church Rev. Mr.. Stone,

LIFE OF MATT. H. CARPENTER.

This volume is full and complete
history of Matt. H. Carpenter from
his early boyhood up to the time of
his death. Many interesting facts oc-
curing in his younger days are given
by his 5iographer, who possesses the
tact of investing his subject attractive
ly. The book gives much important
information on the political history of
the times during the period of Mr..
Carpenters public life. He came in
contact with many of the most distin-
guished men Oh the country, and was
thoroughly acquainted with their
political movements. The volume
contains nearly six hundred pages,
printed on good paper, fair type. and
will be a desirable acquisition to a
library. The author of the biography
is Frank A. Flower, a gentleman of
experience as a writer. Published by

Attention is invited to a paper read
before the Farmers Society of Bristol
and Paris by Mrs. Corsbie, wife of
Rev. II. NJ Corsble, of Bristol. The
readers of the TELEGRAPH will be
satisfied that 80 much space has been
given to this production of Mrs. Corsbie.
1t is not often that ladies contribute
articles for the press, and it would
doubtless add to the interest of the
home newspaper should they more
frequently favor the public with read
ing matter on subjects of local and
general interest.

INFAMOUS BUSINESS.

Early in the present week a boy, not
far from ten years of age, went into a
licquor saloon on Main street. He
was invited to drink intoxicants. The
boy left the saloon drunk, staggering
through the street. Another case two
days ago. A little boy, less than eight
years Of age, had occasion to go into q
saloon and was induced to drink spir-
ituous liquors furnished by the liquor
seller. How long shall these licensed
yiolators of law continue to be toler-
ated?

THE MATTHEW ARNOLD COM
MOTION.

Every reader has heard of Matthew
Arnold, a scholarly Englishman, who
came on visit to the United States a
few weeks ago. His literary reputa-
ton gave him ready access to the best
society on this side of the Atlantic; he
was received with much respect in
New York and given a grand recep-
tion in Chicago. After carefully OBJ
serving our American institutions he
returned to England. Last week it
was telegraphed to Chicago that Mat
thew Arnold had furnished the Eng
lish press with statements extremely
derogatory to Chicago and it's best
citizens. Thereupon the press and the
people of that city were greatly excited
and hurled back hard sayings about
Matthew Arnold. Next came the in
formation to the good people of Chica-
go that Matthew Arnold's evil speak
ing was nothing but a hoax, perpe-
trated by some miscbieyous persons;
whereupon the agitation of the people
subsidized.
This story has moral. 1t adds to
what before has often been said: the
extreme sensibility of the American
people as to what is said of them by
foreigners. Our people are quick to
become excited when a foreign travel
er visits this country, and after his re-
turn writes book, criticising what he
saw and heard in the United States.
1t must be nearly forty years ago that
Mrs. Trollop, an English lady, made a
tour of observation in the United
States, and on her return wrote book
entitled Domestic manners in AmerI-
Ca" She criticised freely and perhaps
unjustly what she saw. The result
was, the press from Maine to Louisiana
was intensely excited over the opin-
ions expressed of us by a foreign wo-
man.

SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr.. Harvey Durkee has made a
creditable sidewalk improvement in
front of his premises. In addition to
the sidewalk, he has graded, sodded
and curbed a space several feet wide
between the walk and the travelled
street. Also broad and handsomely
constructed sidewalk on Ann street,
commencing on the corner at the
dwelling Of Mrs. M. H. Petit, and ex-
tending south the whole block; and
still another, beginning on the corner
at the old Catholic church and extend
ing west past the new church. Per-
haps many other walks equally credit
able have been constructed this
spring, to which attention has not
been called.
Speaking of sidewalks, it is not
amiss to say there is long extent of
these which are worn out and nearly
useless; the larger portion of these are
east of Main street and Park avenue =
between these thoroughfares and the
lake.

TUESDAY EVENINGS CONCERT

Notwithstanding the continuous
rain on Tuesday last during the day
and evening, the concert in the Metho.
dist church was well attended by an
appreciative audience. The proceeds
of the entertainment are intended for
the organ fund, a worthy object. The
Methodist people are deserving of sue
cess because of their persevering en-
deavors to render their church services
enjoyable by good music, in addition
to profitable preaching. The names of
those who took part in the concert
were Miss Johnson, Miss Rouse, Miss
Thomas. Miss Hinsdale, Mr.. Miller
and Messrs. Kimball and Lewis.

Congress occasionally undertakes
legislation of practical Importance,
and which has no political significance.
A bill is now being considered provid-
ing for the protection of railroad en-
ployees whose business is the coupling
of cars. So many hundreds are yearly
seriously disabled or killed in coupling
cars, that legislative interference is
demanded. The bill now before Con.
gress provides that railroad cars shall
be so built as not to require en-
plOyees to so between them for the
purpose of coupling. The necessity Of
some such arrangement has probably
struck every person who has witnessed
the process of coupling cars. The bill
provides that if any employee shall
suffer injury where no such safeguard
has been provided, the Company shall
pay such injured person FIVE hundred
dollars, which payment shall be no bar
to the recovery of further damages in
the courts.

THE TARIFF BATTLE BEGINS.

free trade. The vote in favor of tax
ing up the bill was carried by 1856
Democrats and 5 Republicans. The
vote opposed consisted of 90 Republi-
cans and 80 Democrats, showing quite
a good number of Democrats who are
agreed with the Republicans on the
tariff. All the Democratic members
from this state, including Winans,

A better tone Of feeling is noticeable
in this city since the late election.
More confidence is expressed in the
value of real estate property, and a
more encouraging view is taken Of a
prosperous future. Our financial bur-
dens have been greatly magnifed by
some persons; when rightly consider
ed they are nothing alarming, but by
proper action they may be overcome
without serious embarrassment to any
class Of citizens. More words of cheer
and less croaking will do much to
hasten the better time coming.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR

does not seem so hoSpitable does not indicate
that our " latch string is out" 1t is certainly

1t is cheerful.
An essential thing about our yards is order
and neatness We will all give money and time
for good wagons, horses, hat or bonnet to go to
town or church, it seems to me, viewed with
only the idea of attracting attention. 1t would
pay far better believe to rarely attract atten-

us prune all our trees, cut down all unsightly
bushes while doing this let US keep alongside
the road on our land then repair, build and
plant such ornamental and practical things as
our time and means allow then pick up, rake
up and burn up every unsightly thing.
Now look at the wood pile. If possible put
that under cover to season; then rake up the
chips 1 have heard it said rotten wood was
one of the breeders of typhoid fever. In short,
let us put in order and clean all around our
buildings. Oftentimes we will go to farmers
and find Just the neatest. cosiest sitting room
and parlor, but when you come to step out into
their yard, go through and round their build
ings, you find everything dis0rderly and sl0ven-
ly. Such things are not in keeping with each

know many will say we have no time to do
all this. Isn't it best to take the time? Isn't it
for our comfort and well-being? Won't farm
