CONGRESSMAN WINANS AND
THE WOOL GROWERS.

Probably two thousand Republican
voters in this Congressional district
helped to elect John Winans to Con-
gross at the last general election. If
these votes were not given directly for
Mr.. Winans, they we're thrown for a
candidate whom they had no expecta-
tion of electing. It is reasonable to
presume that these Republicans were
all or nearly all in favor of protecting
home productions, and that among
them were many wool growers.
These voters knew that Williams, the
Republican candidate for Congress,
was in favor of a protective tariff;
they had no reason to believe that
Winans was a protectionist; thew
knew he was accounted of the Demo-
cratic party. Our wool-growing Re-
publicans had no reason to expect Mr..
Winans to vote for wool protection;
they therefore need express no disap.
pointment or unkind feeling towards
him because one week ago, Tuesday
last he voted with the.ultra free trade
Democrats against protecting wool
from foreign competition; he voted
just as all the other free trade Demo-
cratic members from this state voted.
We are not to be understood as finding
fault with Mr.. Winans for refusing to
listen to the petitions Of the wool-pro-
ducing farmers Of the west; he had
never Informed the people that he
favored a wool tariff. The vote on
the question for taking up the tariff
biz was close, 140 voting for ana 1873
against; change Of but one vote
from the free trade to the protection
side would have made it a tie. Such
a result would have been reached, if
this district, with its several thousand
Republican majority, had elected its
candidate for Congress. Now there
may be wrangling debate on the
tariff lasting perhaps for months.
The circumstances of the last Con-
gressional election in this district are
not mentioned to revive old differences
in the Republican ranks, but only for
the purpose of showing that nothing is
ever gained by portion of the party
going off in a tangent, abandoning its
regularly nominated ticket. What
have Republicans gained for them
selves, for the party or the country,
who declined 70 vote for the regularly
nominated candidate for Congress in
this district in the fall of 1882?

garded right has now fallen under con-
demnation. What is there that has
not changed the last half century :?
Truth itself has not changed, but its
applications are differently under
stood. The scriptures are held to be
an eternal rule of right; yet their in
depreciation has not been the same
in every age. The laws enacted for
the government of the people by legis-
lation, however wise, need amend
ment or alteration almost every year,
simply because the condition Of So
ciety is not stationary.
The attention OF the people of Wis
consin should be called to the import
ance of new criminal code.
There is now much unity of senti-
ment among intelligent people that a
reformed criminal code or an entire
new code is demanded-a code more
concise and compact, and which shall
deprive criminal lawyers from taking
advantage of the loop-holes. technic.

TEMPERANCE IN ILLINOIS.

At the late annual spring elections
in Illinois quite a number of cities
which had heretofore favored high Ii
cense this year voted no license.
Nearly all the cities and towns on the
line of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad voted no license. No
license also prevailed in many parts of
the state. A temperance revival, un-
der the direction of Francis Murphy
and son, has just closed in Freeport,
ILL.,, resulting in nearly 1000 signing the
pledge. The temperance sentiment in
Illinois is probably in advance Of Wis
consin.

WEAKNESS or THE GOVERN
MEVT'.

There were nineteen or twenty cases
In the United States Court at Charles
ton, South Carolina. of persons under
Indictment for violation of the FEEDER
al election laws. These cases have all
been dismissed by the United States
District Attorney. The reasons given
by that officer for discontinuance of
the suits is, that conviction of the
offenders is impossible. The cases
which have gone to trial have been
failures. South Carolina juries will
not convict for criminal offences com.
mitted upon Republicans, colored men.
no matter how strong the evidences of
their guilt. Here then we have a great
government, protesting to be the pro-
tector of all citizens in their lawful
rights, yet virtually confessing it's in
ability to punish crime. The Republi-
can party has still a great mission to
perform; il is useless to say its work
has ended. 1t is hopeless to expect
the Democratic party, if in power,
would apply the corrective to these
wrongs; that party has never vet
made the first move in Congress for the
suppression of the murderous prac-
tees annually resorted to at elections
in several of the Southern States.

PRESIDENTYAL OUTLOOK.


The Presidential contest is becoming
decidedly interesting; as the National
Convention draws near, the relative
strength of the candidates becomes
mo re clearly developed. Several state
conventions for the choosing of dele
gates to the National Convention have
been held, and in some cases the dele
gates have been instructed for whom
to cast their votes, and in other cases
they are uninstructed. In many in
stances the delegates are chosen by
districts, and their preferences are as
far as practicable ascertained. AS vet
opinions are changeable who will lead
when the time arrives for holding the
convention; but whoever he may be,
it by no means settles his nomination.
Garfield did not have la single vote
on the fist ballot in the National Con-
yention of 1880, but was finally nomi-
mated on the thirty-sixth ballot. 1t is
noticeable that Of the candidates men,
toned for Vice-President, Robert r..
Lincoln leads far in advance of all
others. He now seems!almost sure of
the Second place on the ticket if he
will accept it; the convention. could
not do better than give him the first
place He would prove candidate
hard to beat.

Law REFORM DBnANDED.

The jury system must go. Once the
bulwark of the peoples rights, long
yenerated and held almost sacred,
hoary with years and having done
good service in its day, the verdict
of an enlightened public is, it has sur
viyed its usefulness, and therefore
must be laid aside Times change,
civilizations change. Old systems,
however wisely conceived, wear out
and must give place to new ones.
Human government is machinery that
runs smoothly for time, but ultimate
ly ceases to work satisfactorily, be-
cause public opinion and customs
change. New channels of thought
displace old ones. As the currents of
business change every decade or less,
SO the currents of thought are differ
emily directed in different periods of
time. The jury system, at the time it
was instituted, was suited to the neces-
sites of the people, but the people
are no longer what they once
were; their physical organization
is still the same as Of old, but |
their mental Developments are no
longer the same; many things once
deemed improper and sinful are now
invested with innocence. So, on the
other hand, much that was once re- !

ences. As much as some people may
ridicule the puritanic exactions of
fathers and mothers a half century or
more ago. the fruits Of a less strict
moral training are now being reaped
Our public schools are not what they
once were. Moral instruction in them
has been relaxed to accommodate a
popular idea that the church is the
proper place for the incubation of the
moral virtues, and not the school. OF
what true worth is good secular edu-
cation to its possessor or to the world
if it have no moral basis ? If it be de-
fectiye in right principles, it is quite
as likely to prove dangerous element
in the community as of value to the
public welfare.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1884-04-25

culture will give new impetus to the
cause of public schools and institu-
lions Of learning of various kinds. 1t
will be a great assemblage worth look
ing upon, embodying as it will the
learning and intellectual worth of the
country. Such a convention will pres
emit striking contrast with the ma
tional political conventions which are
soon to meet in Chicago. The great
multitude which will there gather of
political managers, manipulators, curl.
osity spectators. jostling and crowd
ing each other, will present a very
different phase of life from the Educa-
tional Convention at Madison.

DEMOCRATS AND THE WOOL
GROWERS.

The Wool Growers National Con-
Tention, to be held in Chicago the 18th
of May next, promises to be large
and influential gathering from all
parts of the country. 1t is estimated
that seventy-two thousand wool grow
ers will be represented. 1t will be in
sisted by the convention that both
political parties in the coming
national nominating conventions
for President shall insert in their plat
forms a plank pledging protection to
this American interest. The last state
election was carried by Democrats in
Ohio by promise of that party that
the wool growing interest in the state
should receive encouragement, but
that promise has not been respected
by the Ohio Democratic members in
Congress. A day of reckoning will
come with the promise breakers in
that state in. November next. The
wool growers cannot be trlfed with );
they have too strong a hold on the
country to be set aside as Of little &C.
count Democratic members of Con-
gress labored for weeks the present
session to relieve whiskey distillers
and spectators from paying the tax
due on bonded whiskey to the amount
of many millions of dollars. But
these same Democrats. when asked to
aid the wool growers, not by a money
consideration, but by protecting them
against foreign competition, declined to
do it, 1t is more natural for Demo-
cratic congressman to grant a money
relief to whiskey-bitten spectators
than to increase the duty on foreign
wool asked for By the farmers Of this
country.
1t is hoped the farmers in Wisconsin
interested in sheep husbandry will be
represented in the National Con ven
ton at Chicago on the 18th of May.

BURGLARIES AND 7'HEFTS-
THEIR CAUSF

The frequency of burglaries and
petty thefts, not only in this city, but
IN neighboring towns and cities, has
become a matter of serious inquiry as
to the proper remedy for their sup
preston. 1t is not because of famine
or the want of work by those out of
employment; there is the usual abund-
ance of food and the necessaries of
life. The cause of these criminal
practices can be traced to nothing but
pure viclousneSs. 1t is believed that
the larger portion of these law break
ing practices are committed by a class
OF persons comparatively young. and
not by those of middle age and passed.
There are many boys who are growing
up to be men whose moral training
has been defective, or who have sadly
departed from wholesome home intlu-
