Report Of the County Superin-
tendent.
To the Board of Supervisors of Lineol
County:

To the Board of Supervisors of Lincoln
County:
GENTLEMEN I'm pursuance of the sew
enteenth specification of Sec. 698 of the
Code of 1880, herewith make you my
report required by law as County Super
intendent of Education.
There have been established in the
County for the current scholastic year GA
schools. OF this number 80 have finished
their first month at the total cost of
S923.25, making an average monthly cost
for each school of $31. IL.
Taking this as basis we have, as the
sum necessary to run the schools first
month, the sum of $1991.05.
We can safely assume that no month
will fall below this sum, and hence we
have the sum of 1864. Is necessary to run
the 81 established schools four months.
In addition to this amount / have is
sued pay certificates to two schools in the
corporation of BrOOkhaven, to two in CO.
piah county, to one in Lawrence county,
to two in Pike county, for children fro!a
this County who attended schools in said
counties. There will be other certificates
drawn on this county. Add to this the
sum OF 1920 for salary of County Superin-
tendent and we have in the neighbOr-
hood of $500.
The report from the Treasurer shows
that he has received the following
amounts on account of the school fund OF
the year 1854, viz:
January distribution from the State
S2751; deduct the amount paid the city of
BrOOkhaven, $398, leaving. ..... .$2343.O0
Polls of the year 1888. ...........10 64. 95
Fines collected. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $500
To this add the estimated amount
of July distribution from State. 10000
And we have the sum of. .$4074. Is
Deduct this amount from the above
mentioned sum necessary to run the
schools four months &C., to wit, the sum
of $500, and we have the sum of
$4425.15, necessary to be raised by taxa
ton in order TO maintain the schools for
four months and pay the salary of the
County Superintendent.
1t would be necessary to raise the addi-
tiOnai sum of $1991.O5 in order to run the
schools an additional month. This, add
ed to the above sum of $4425.15, and we
have the sum of $6416.20, amount neces-
sary to be raised by taxation in addition
to the funds received and receivable from
other sources in order to maintain all the
schools in the county for the period of
five months, and pay the salary of the
County Superintendent. Hence, a levy
of three mllls will be inadequate.
1t is recommended that the number of
schools be reduced in the county the next
scholastic year. aN.s
Respectfully submitted,
& w. r. SPENCER,
County Superintendent.

A FAIR QUESTION FOR " INDE-
PENDFNTS."

Was President Garfield man of
sound judgment? Was he honest ?
Was his integrity above reproach :?
Was he not always intent for the right :?
If these questions be answered in the
affirmative, then will those Republi-
cans who object to Blaine explain
how it came to pass that President
Garfield, in making a selection for the
most responsible officer of his Cabinet,
chose from among all the statesmen in
this great Republic James G.. Blaine !?
Was not the wisdom of this choice of
the President commended by these
same independent Republicans who
now protest against the election of
Blaine9 Garfield was under no great
er obligation to Blaine than to scores
of other citizens of the Union. The
independent Republicans have been
repeatedly asked to make public their
reasons for refusing to support the
Republican nominee for President, but
thus for nothing tangible has appear
ed.
Do not Republican fault-inders
throw discredit on the wisdom Of Pres
ident Garfield for calling James G.
Blaine to the.first and highest position
in his cabinet?

A SAD CALAMIT Z.

Mr.. Frank Shirley and Miss Emma
Kempf, both young persons of this
city, on Sunday morning last took a
buggy ride to Racine. After remain
ing there some time, they started home
to Kenosha. In imitation of what
some gentlemen do, before getting in
to his carriage he lighted cigar; he
had not driven far when there was a
smell of burning; presently it was dis
covered that a portion Of the young
wOman's dress was on fire. Miss
Kempf jumped from the carriage and
ran into house near by, enveloped in
flames. The fire was in due time ex-
tinguished, but not until the sufferer
was terribly burned The young man
Immediately summoned DR..

POLITICAL READING.

This being the Presidential election
year, newspaper readers must expect
more political reading than in ordinary
times. The coming election in No
vember next will, with most persons, be
one of the leading subjects Of remark
for months to come. There will be
a world of opinions expressed, and any
amount of confident predicting as to
the successful candidate. Nine out of
every ten will not hesitate to give
their judgments as to who will be the
winning man. People who scarcely
ever read a newspaper or book, and
whose knowledge of political matters
does not extend beyond the names of
the men who are running for the
Presidential Office, will talk as know
ingly as those who give much of their
time to studying the Currents of public
sentiment. Opinions have no market
value no one pays for them OF
charges for them they are given for
nothing in endless variety. Opinions
given by newspaper are Of no more
worth than opinions of the readers of
the political movements of the times
Yet newspapers are politically indis-
pensible in furnishing statistics and
facts, the records of public men, the
transactions of conventions, and a
great variety of other matters which
enable the people to arrive at just con-
illusions in respect to the exercise of
the elective franchise.

A SOLID IMPROVEMENT

The new business building in prog
ress of construction by the Balm Wag-
on Company on Main street, in this
city, when completed, will have the
largest frontage of any building in the
lake shore towns between Chicago and
Milwaukee. The walls of 1913 feet
front are up, and will soon be ready
for the roofing. 1t is a pleasing and
substantial style of architecture, of
brick and stone trimmings Prepare
tions are being made for an extension
of the same building north to Pearl
street, a distance of 90 feet, which will
give total frontage on Main street of
220 feet. The extension will be the
same height and style of architecture
the whole distance. The wooden
buildings standing on the ground,
which will be occupied by the new
structure, will shortly be moved away
or demolished. The establishment of
the Balm Wagon Company, in the bust
ness of manufacturing wagons, occu-
pies over two squares; is conveniently
situated, being bounded by the harbor
and railroad. From small beginnings
years ago, it has grown to gigantic pro-
portions.

CONGRESSIONAL EYTRAVA-
CANOE.


When the extravaganza expenditures
of the Congress lately closed comes to
be spread out in detail before the peo-
pie, if it ever is, public indignation
will be excited. To refer to but one
of the many contrivances to draw
money from the national treasury to
pay for the summer recreation of
members of Congress, no less than
seven excursions have been provided
for at the public expense, the
cost Of which will not be less than
100000. These excursions are in the
orm of committees appointed to visit
distant parts OF the country to examine
some public work, coast defense, or
other matter coming within national
jurisdiction. These committees are
not expected to travel III any but first
class conveyances or stop at any but
the most expensive hotels. 1t is said
that heretofore committees acting I'M
der this class of appointment have
contrived 10 take their families with
them, and include their expenses in
the bill. As the information sought
to be gained by the committees could
have been obtained by other means
at small cost, it is plain the design is
to furnish members a pleasant way of
summer travel at public expense.

totally ignorant of the chemistry of
cheese making? American cheese is
largely indigestible, and instead of being
used as food in this country, where it
can be produced cheaper and more
abundantly than in any other country
in the world, it is only used as a relish,
and generally In minute quantity, to
heighten the gastric enjoyment of eat
ing piece of pie. The bulk of Ameri-
can cheese is shipped to England, where,
on account of itsylow quality, it is sold
at reduced price. If Mr.. Curtis sue
ceeds in teaching Wisconsin cheese
makers how to make as good cheese as
is made anywhere in the world, it will
advance the profits of producing cheese
% to 80 per cent. To the thousands of
farmers whose farms are devoted largely
to producing milk for cheese making
this will be glad tidings indeed, and the
importance of Mr.. Curtis advent can
hardly be over-estimated. Full cream
cheese of May and June has sold for
u and cents. Taking out the cost of
making the cheese it cannot net the
milk producermore than 6 cents per h.,
which is equivalent to one cent per
quart for new milk delivered at the
factory. This is producing milk at a
loss, and the profits oflater made cheese.
which bring better prices, are conse-
quently reduced to average the whole
seasons make. Still the farmer does
not know what ails him, or why he can
not reduce the mortgage on his farm, or
give his sons and daughters the benefit
of a high school or seminary training.
He feels there is some terrible incubus
weighing him down, and he knows not
how to shake it off and destroy it. The
office-seeker, who wants his vote, tells
him the railroad and express companies
are vampires that are sucking his life's
blood and keeping him poor, and if they
will send him to the legislature he will see
these corporations are taxed till they be-
come poor. But said office-seeker neg
lects to tell him that the people who use
the railroads pay all the taxes charged
against the railroads, and no class use
them more than the farmer. Now
let the milk producer insist that his
cheese shall be made on common sense
principles, and it will sell for to cents
per lb. more than it does now. This will
add tens Of thousands of dollars yearly to
the profits of the dairying of this state.

thousand strangers were in Madison
from different states in the Uniou. 1t
is impossible in weekly newspaper
to give even general ontline Of the
important transactions of these liter
airy bodies. Every educator and every
one who takes lively interest in the
progress of education should become
acquainted with the topics discussed.
Our methods of public as well as

progress of the age should be on the
alert to note the coming reforms.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.


The first shoutings of prospective
Democratic triumph having partially
subsidized since the nomination of
Cleveland and Hendricks, the true
situation of parties is becoming better
understood. The strength of the in
dependent Republicans is becoming
less formidable, and, while the move
ment has the names of few prominent
leaders, it has no large following by the
masses. The opposition to Blaine led
by George w. Curtis and others is not
likely to prove very damaging. The
votes drawn away from Blaine and
Logan will be much more than coun-
terbalanced by Democrats drawn from
Cleveland and Hendricks. To say
nothing of the course the disafected
Tammany wing is likely to take, or of
the labor organizations, the indications
now are that for every Republican
dra wn from Blaine in the State of New
York there will be at least two Irish
Democrats drawn from Cleveland for
the Republican candidate in that state.

SCIENCE IN CHEESE MAKING

There viii be published in this issue a
report Of the first lessons given by Mr..
T. D. Curtis to the cheese makers of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Curtis is not only a
practical cheese maker, one who has
rolled up his sleeves and worked day
after day, and year after year at the
cheese vat, but he is thoroughly scien-
tific. He has made the science of the
schools the willing handmade of the
cheese maker. 1t will be seen that for
every move of the nsodus operondi he
gives the reason, and explains the chem
zeal action. Making cheese from milk
is purely a chemical operation, and
how can it be expected that an operator
can make the best cheese when he is

One of the chief difficulties in har-
monizing the discordant elements in
the Chicago Democratic Convention
was the tariff question. 1t was stated
on the floor of the Convention that the
committee on resolutions spent thirty.
six hours agreeing what to say about
the tariff. There were in the Conven-
tlon ultra free traders, high tariff men,
and all the intermediate differences
of opinion. How to so frame plat
form so as to reconcile the dlyergen-
cies of views was a work requiring
consummate skill. The equivocal Ian
guage of the Democratic platform is
in contrast with the outspoken Repub-
lican Convention.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.

The history of Grover Cleveland, the
Democratic candidate for President, is
short and soon told. He is a native of
New Jersey, AZ yeats old. He taught
school when young man, came to
Buffalo and studied law. was elected
Sheriff. In 1883 he was nominated
Governor of the state of New York,
and was elected because of serious di-
visions in the Republican party. What
he has done to entitle him to the posi-
ton to which he has been nominated
will astonish people when the lean
ness of his record comes to be known.

improvements are steadily progress
ing in the North ward; new buildings
have been erected and many of the
older ones are being remodeled, inn
proved and reprinted. That part of
the city has become quite attractive for
its tasty dwellings and neatly kept
yards. A new school-house is in pro-
cess of building, which, judging from
the plan proposed, will be a creditable
structure. The old school-house, a
building of considerable size, has been
moved one block eastward, and is UNI
dergoing changes, and will be fitted up
for two business establishments.
