Hendricks, the Democratic candidate
for Vice President, has been in public
position for many years. ON the
breaking out of the Rebellion, he OPP
posed every measure that was proposed
to thwart their aims and TO prevent the
destruction of the Government. He
even went farther than Thomas F. Bay
ard, and was decidedly more of a rebel
Indeed he did all in his power to aid
the unhOly scheme, save the taking up
OF arms and committing an offense that
would warrant his arrest and imprison-
ment. Other men were sent to Fort
Delaware who were less blatant in
their reasonable declarations, and
more deserving of sympathy as they
were less intelligent and less influential
in the community where they resided.
Not only through the Rebellion, but
even afterwards, he was noted for hi
rebel sympathies. He opposed nearl.
every measure OF reconstruction an,
every proposition to strengthen tn
government. He has never shown u
to this day any symptom of repentance
He is like jeff. Davis, defiant and unre
pentant He has threatened to repea
the reconstruction acts, and only OF
portunity prevented him and his part
from accomplishing this object. II
has voted against the soldiers an
every measure proposed for their BEN
fit.
With such q record how can JniC
, men, how can members OF the army
navy, trust him. If they are true
themselves, true to their country al
! their children, they cannot vote f
a such a character, or the man who
I on the ticket with him. If such rebt
r are to be elevated TO power and plat

II Union were fought in vain, as I

the Great Democratic Victory IN
Maine.

The Every Evening Is hard to please
in regard TO majorities. The day after
Maine had given from 10, 600 to IL 900
Republican majority, by the way an
unprecedented one of late years, 1t Is
clearly of the opinion that the Blaine
boom is on the wane." Though the
Republican majority in Maine since
1876, has not reached 1000, and it is
now $4,000 at the least, according 10 It's
logic, cit has no appreciable effect In
swelling the Republican ranks in
Blaine's own State" Our neighbor
must have new tangled arithmeticai
calculator, one that shows as clear as
mud, that the larger Republican ma
jorities are, the nearer to Cleveland Is TO
his triumphant election. Since this
glorious showing in favor of the Demo
Gratis in Maine, this curious calculator
predicts that both Ohio and West Nir-
ginia in October will vote with the
| Democracy, and more than that SO
brilliant, and so successful have the
| Democrats in Maine been that Demo
cratic walk over is predicted. We
)would like to know Indeed what kind
of Republican victory will convince
the Every Evening that Blaineis snre
ITO be elected.
Last week Vermont gave q 600 lie
publican majority on light vote, anc
this was heralded abroad as grea
Democratic victory Now Maine come'
lin and gives a larger Republican ma
iority than she has given for eight year
past, and this is heralded as complete
and convincing evidence OF Democratic
success.
If these are the tactics by which tn
Democrats are to gain the Presidency
Republicans can have no good caus
for compliant. SO long as CLEVELAND
is 10 be elected by such figuring the Re
U publicans can sand it il the Demo
: Gratis can. The fact OF the matter
THAT in 1878 the Republicans were in
. minority Of some 1900, and az tn
e State election in 1880, they were beate
l again by some four hundred majority
But in that same year Garfield carrie
the State by some 5000 majority. |

Even admitting, which we only do for
the sake of argument, that Mr.. Blaine
thir,y-three years ago was guilty OF
youthful indiscretion, has his life since
then not been, in chaste and moral
point of view, of such character as to
now place him before the country AS .
fair example of its morality. Thirty
three years of mans life since he DO
came = man in age without a spot OF
blemish should certainly be enough II
recommend him to the people as a mar
safely to be trusted. The attempt u
bes,nirch the moral character of james
G. Blaine, that he may be the equal o
Mr.. Cleveland, has signaly failed, ane
This will be the verdict of the people II

THE thanks of all who heard Judge
West last night are dine to the Young
Mems Republican club. 1t was un-
fortunate that the heat was SO oppres-
sive as to be almost unbearable, but the
Judge was so sublimely eloquent and
interesting that the large audience was
held well in hand for an hour and a
half, with the thermometer bubbling
up to he 90 degree mark. 1t is hard to
see how any reasonable man can sup
port anything which savors of free
trade after listening to Judge Vests
address. Judge West is fresh from the
Maine campaign that ended so glori-
ously last Monday. With such speak
ers we can scarcely wonder at the goot
result. We hope that the Young Mem
Republican club will secure Judg
Vests services later in the campaign

ready to remove the scalp of Thomas
Ford the Democratic nominee for Sher-

SUGAR FROM SORGHUM AND
FROM BETS.

During visit two weeks ago to the
expert mental farm near Madison, in
this state, the question was asked
Prof. Henry whether the expectation
of producing sugar from sorghum
cane was given up, and that attention
would hereafter be turned to the man
ufacture of sugar from beets? Prof
Henry said statements to that effect
have been made in the newspapers
but without authority. He said the
farmers of Wisconsin would never
consent to go into the business OF
raising beets for the manufacture
of sugar; there was too much drudgery
and hand labor about it, Farmers
are now intent on employing labor
saving machinery wherever practical,
and that cannot be successfully applied
to the growing and harvesting of beets.
The advice, therefore, is, not to give
up sorghum Its success is only a
question of time, but sure to come
An unfavorable season like that OF
last year may not happen again for a
long period.

and daily press existed only in the
chief cities of the world. The same
law formulated when in England it
took nine hours to get information
seyenty-twO miles, and the only
vehicle of intelligence was the mail

Piled with under the altered conditions
and facilities of the present time.
While retaining and enforcing these
absurd requirements in all their tech
meal force, the courts seem to ignore
the legal maxim, when the reason
for The law ceases, the law itself

dents, do not perceive the injustice and
improperly of adhering to dicta
which has been rendered obsolete by
force of altered circumstances, until
some outrageous application of a
theory causes the moral sense of man
kind TO revolt and demand new inter
pretations, and then, and then only, is
there a new departure. The " Dred
Scott case, which has served to make
history, is very apt illustration oi

the Work.
The church is great ornament to
our city, and all classes of our citizens
feel a pride in the ornament that it is to
our beautiful city by the lake. Such
buildings in themselves have a re-
filming and educating influence, as
they are an expression too and sign
of progress and improvement. The
members of st. James congregation are
to be congratulated in having the finest
church edifice in any city of the size of
Kenosha in the state.
Sunday the new church was dedicated
by the Most Rev. Archbishop Heiss. of
Milwaukee, and the elegant marble al
tar consecrated for divine service. Ri.
Rev. Bishop Ireland preached the de-
dlcatlon sermon, dwelling largely on the
necessity of religion and exposing the
sophlstrles of those who neglect or ig-
more the teachings and guidance of re-
vealed religion. The sermon was a
logical and eloquent plea for the wor-
ship of the Creator by the intelligent
creature. At the solemn High Mass
Rev. Father Trant, of Fond du Lac,
Wis, native of Kenosha, was celebrant,
assisted by Fathers Morrissey and Fess-
Ter, of st. Francis, as deacon and sub
deacon. Rev. Father Wenker, of St
Georges church, acted as master Of
ceremonies. The choir rendered De
Monte's Mass in fine style, ably assisted
| by Prof. Rawson with his cornet. The
church was filled at High Mass. Among
the societies present were the A. o. III
of Milwaukee, Bay View, Racine anC
Kenosha, st. Georges and St. Michael,
| Young Mems, OF Kenosha. In the even
ing Bishop Ireland lectured for over al
hour and half on the evils of intern
lperance.

SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

Considerable interest is being taken
by some of cur patriotic citizens in
respect to the proposal to erect a suit
able monument in this city in COM
memoratioD of our Union soldiers, who
lost their lives in defence of the coun-
try in the late war of the rebellion.
This proper testimonial to the memory
of those who enlisted in the Union
service, and fell ON the battlefield or
died ia prisons or from wounds and in
juries received, has been long delayed.
Without the aid of our volunteer SOL
diery the Union would have been rent
in twain, liberty set back and shattel
slavery perpetuated for generations to
come. All loyal citizens will be
pleased to learn of the contemplated
movement for a soldiers monument.
Such have already been reared in other
cities. Next week we hope to be able
to speak more definitely on the subject.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:
Why are so many men in the lies
and towns idle, and why do they lack
enterprise?
1t is safe to say that many men are
deferred from engaging in business en-
terprises, or, if so engaged, are desir-
Gus to terminate them in view of the
free booting tendencies of large classes
of society.
1t has been said that ninety out of a
hundred business men fail before they
finally quit business, and bankruptcy
may be looked upon therefore as an
inevitable c0ncOmitant of trade.
And is it not pertinent inquiry
whether the laws of business, or rather
the rules which prevail as the result
of presidents made centuries ago. do
not in multitude OF instances work
the ruin of the helpless trader? Tt is
not enough that he must share with
the farmer the uncertainties of the
crops, the vicissitudes of the seasons,
the liabilities resulting from ship
wrecks, tornadoes, fires and other de-
structive natural forces; that he must
take the risk of the dishonesty of bis
fellows who rob him by direct process
es. bnt he must in addition be the vic
tim of arbitrary rules, made law by
precedent, of whose existence he does
not even dream till he has become en-
tangled in the meshes of the legal net.
and. bound hand and foot, is no long
er the arbiter of his own destiny,
While other material and mechanical
effects have been modified by the ap-
plication to them and their production
of the co-efficients which scientific re-
search has rendered available, the legal
profession has been more and more
certainly following the ruts and deep
enlng the channels and grooves of anti
quated decision. In constituting the
law of partnership the courts have
scarcely advanced step. Although
we have the telegraph, the telephone.
frequent mails and the daily newspa.
per-to say nothing of the professional
reporter, or ubiquitous newsgather-
er-yet it is still held to be absolutely
necessary that every man who ever
dealt with firm should not only have
a written notice of dissolution of
partnership directed specially to him.
but that it is incumbent on the in
dividual members of a firm to make
the fact of the receipt of such notice
demonstrably certain to conclude its
receiver, as it was when railroads were
unknown, the electric forces unayail-
able as mediums of communication

The city authorities Of some of our
neighboring cities have issued orders
forbidding the use of fire crackers on
the fourth of July. Some people COM
plain that this is hard on the boys,
who wish to enjoy the day. The case
may be stated as follows: No day in
the year has SO many accidents as the
4th of July. To say nothing of what
occnrs from the use of pistols, guns
and cannon, fire-crackers are usually
the cause of much personal injury to
the users of them; often resulting in
much loss of property by fires. dam
ages by frightening horses, leading to
running away teams, together with
many other annoyances. What il
there on the side Of gain? Only sport,
which can be had just as senslbly in a
hundred other ways.

THE WOOL M4RRET

1t is considered to be good policy to
sell any farm produce as soon as ready
for market. If there is any exception it
can certainly be taken when the price of
the product is very low The price of
wool now is low and may remain low
But the prospect is the market will i'm
prove some in the future. Wooden
manufacturers are buying from hand to
mouth, and in every way possible are
crowding the market down to the very
lowest limit. They evidently intend to
buy all the wool they can at lowest
prices. That is perfectly legitimate.
They are looking out for number one.
The wool grower must do the same.
Those who are not compelled to realize
on their wool Immediately it seems would
do well to hold for higher prices. This is
simply my opinion, and must only be
taken for what it is worth.

The Old Settlers Association of Ra-
cine county will hold their annual
meeting at the Blake Opera House, IN
Racine, on the 4th of July next. This
meeting is intended to commemorate
the 5Oth anniversary of the first settle
ment in that county, which dates few
days earlier in the month of June.
Capt. Gilbert Knapp. the first settler
of Racine. will appear on the platform
also Alfred Cary and wife. the first
married couple in Racine. 1t is sng-
gested to Hon. HI. S. Thorp, President
of the Kenosha County Old Settlers
Society, that he bring out at the an
nual meeting in September next some
of the historic men and women who
were first on the roll of old settlers in
the county.

ST. JAMES CHURCH.

On the 18th of March, 1882, the first
subscription was taken towards the cree.
ton of a new church edifce. A build
ing committee was then elected by the
congregation, consisting of the pastor
Father Cleary, and Messrs. Patrick Eng
lish, John Hoye, Patrick Kelly, James
Kelly, James Craney and James Math-
ews. Mr.. Craney having moved soon
after to Iowa, Mr.. Daniel Quigley was
chosen tofill the vacancy. Three mem
bers of this committee-Me ssrs. English
Kelly and Quigley-did not live to see
the work completed in which they took
such practical interest.
The design for the building was fur
nished by J. J. Egan, the wellknown
Chicago architect. 1t is in English
Gothic, of Queen Ann style, and certainly
presents neat and pleasing appearance.
Work was vigorously set on foot in the
spring of '82. The stone for the founda-
ton was furnished by Hadfeld & Co., Of
Waukesha, Wis; the railroad companies.
both the G. & NV. and the O., M. II st. p.
passed the stone over their lines of road
at reduced rates. Thecontract for build
ing the foundation was given to Messrs.
Surges Il Miller, of our city. all
materials being furnished them.
The foundation was all finished in the
fall Of '82 and work suspended until the
following spring. AT the beginning OF
the work Mr.. John Hoye was engaged
as superintendent and remained in en-
tlre charge until the final completion of
the building. Mr.. Hoye gave entire
satisfaction throughout, and Is deserving
of great credit for his skillful manage
ment of all business connected with the
church.
In the spring of 1883 work on the
superstructure was begun. The con-
tract for furnishing the brick was enter
ed into by Mrs. John EngeI, and as all
