prove them. The Republican conyen-
ton demands, " that an end shall be
put to the criminal evasion of the
guarantees of equal civil and political
rights promised by the constitution to
every free man. The right of suffrage
must be maintained free and untram-
meled, and if that right is unlawfully
denied to any part of the people Of any
state its representation in Congress and
in the electoral college should be re-
duced." Where is the man, let his poll
tics be what they may, who will deny
the justice of this demand? By the
emancipation of the slaves the South
was given SO additional members of
Congress the negroes being counted
the same as white people as basis of
representation. Now, if the South, by
fraud and violence, persists in driving
the coiored people away from TIE polls,
except such of them who will consent
to vote the Democratic ticket, then is
it not reasonable the representation of
the South in Congress should be re.
duced. The additional members which
were awarded to the South might as
well be based on horses aad cattle in
many of the Southern states as on
men who possess the constitutional
franchise right, but are denied its ex-
ercise. Many persons find it con-
venient way to dispose of the alleged
fraudulent practices of the South to
pronounce them gross exaggerations.
That the entire South is liable to these
charges is not asserted there are doubt
less districts of country where the
rights of colored citizens are respected,
but to maintain that the spirit of in
timidation and violence does not con.

of old Virginia is equally true of other

PREMATURE OLD AGE.

1t is a mistaken idea to suppose tina
the mind necessarily dwarfs as old ag'
comes on. If the body be properl,
cared for, and the laws of health re
garded, the mind is still capable of ex
banding and improving in old age. L
is true, forgetfulness is incident tt
persons who have long passed TIT
meridian of life. but they are still
capable of gaining new thoughts an(
exploring new fields of knowledge
What makes the marked difference be
tween two men who have arrived al
the age of seventy or more years
When they were at fifty, they may
have been nearly equal physically anG
mentally, but during the next twenty
years one ceased to grow intellectually
or perhaps began to dwarf, while the
other kept on expanding in thought and
in the acquisition of knowledge. Then
again, as the mind is allowed to grow
weak for the want of intellectual slim
ulant, the body is sure to show signs
of fast Fastening age. Old age. al
least in appearances, is not destiny
unshunnible," but in most cases avoid
able. There is strong sympathy be.
tween the mind and the body, but the
physical and the mental do not run
evenly together. The mind is capable
of preserving its powers and rising
superior to age Scores of old people
whom we meet on the street, bent
down and crooked, are so through
their own fault. The moment a per-
son allows the thought to take posses
sion that he is certainly on the down
hill of life and growing old, then surely
will a wrinkled brow and STOPPING
posture lay hands upon him. Thou
sands are prematurely old. because
they allow their Imagination to control
their better judgment. If there be a
man or woman arrived at middle age
who really desires to be looked upon as
old, the strange desire can be easily
gratified; thrust aside all youthful as
perations, avoid the society of the
young, turn away from innocent
amusements, have no pleasure in en-
livening music, but take to the singing
of Old Near and Mortality. The con-
clusion. therefore is, that old age in APP
pearances is comfortable by the will
the men and women who think youth
full vivacity desirable, after the allotted
three score and ten years have been at
tanned, are themselves at fault if their
aspirations are not realized; provided
always. that they are not the victims
of unavoidable sickness or calamity.

There appears to be rivalry between
Kenosha and Racine, as to which town
pays yearly the largest tribute to Lake
Michigan in the form Of real estate
During the last forty years and more
both towns have yielded many acres
to the memorable demand of old Michi-
gan; still that exactlng lake, instead
of being satisfied, seems every year
more voracious. Not content with
taking only a modest little slice every
"northeaster," a large one is often
borne away into the deep. Old settlers
remember when the main road run
ming from here to Racine ON the lake
shore, for mile or two this side of that
city, was from twelve to fifteen rods
out in the lake from the now shore
In KenOsha streets and blocks have been
taken possession Of by the lake and
carried away. The site once occupied
by HutchinsOn's steam Touring mill is
now fifteen rods from the shore. Lake
Michigan is relentless in selling upon
city territory, and carrying it defantly
away. Only two weeks ago the lake
made raid, capturing considerable

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Methodist conference begins its an
nual session at Waukesha October s.
The meeting of conference is naturally
a season of suspense to many Metho
dist clergymen and their friends; there
are always more or less changes in the
itinerant system, which are usually
withheld until the appointments are
officially announced. 1t is reported
that Rev. G. M. Heard, who has oc-
cupied the Methodist pulpit in this
city acceptably the past year, will be
transferred to Minnesota. We should
be sorry to part with Rev. Mr.. Heard,
not only because he is an earnest
minister of the gospel, but for the rea-
son he has labored zealously to inau-
gurate a higher standard of moral and
intellectual culture among the young
people of the city. His efforts in this
direction appear to have been attend
ed with success. 1t is expected Rev.
Heard will preach his farewell sermon
in this city next Sunday.

for the introduction of some form of
industrial education. eff it be true.' .

month. at public meeting held at
Nottingham few days ago Mr.. Sam.
uel Morley made an eloquent address
in favor of technical education. He
said that working men were wanted
now to make themselves the masters
of the work they had TO do by the
means of intellectual thought and
study. Some of the Continental NUM-
cipalities had made the most magnifi-
cent provision for the higher education
of working men. Abundant facilities
were afforded to them for perfecting
themselves in their particular hanii-
crafts, and this higher training had
been found to be Of extreme value in
the production of high quality of
goods. In the counting houses and
warehouses of England clerks from
abroad were presenting themselves
with qualifications of a very high kind,
the result of training in schools
where the teaching was essentially
commercial. He pressed for the adop-
ton of facilities of that kind in Eng.
land.
Sewing, cutting and fitting are taught
in all the girls primary schools in
France, and the programme for the
higher primaries includes household
industry and some of the trades par.

important measure of the Liberal
party with reference to the education
of women in France is the law of De.

TIE FARMERS.

Farmers have had the advantage of
two or more weeks in gathering the
remnant of their crops which survived
ruin by the continued wet weather.
We have been at some pains to OBJ
tain reliable estimate, what per
cent of hay and grain crops were dam
aged or entirely lost, in consequence of
the unfayorable season for securing
them, but opinions differ so widely no
definite statement will be ventured !:
suffice it to say, the loss is quite large
The business of farming has always
been regarded the most safe of any in
dustry, and as general rule holds
true, but, like all other employments,
farming has its unavoidable reverses.
Rain, drought, tornadoes and frosts
are not comfortable by human agencies !;
the elements are governed by laws not
of mans making. Trade and COM
merce are regulated by mans wisdom,
and are dependent for success on bust
ness management But after all the
drawbacks to which farming IS subject,
it is unquesti0nably the most safe Of
all occupations. 1t is not common
that year OF crop disaster results in
bankrupting farmer; if he be the
owner of his farm he does not lose all
as so often in most other pursuits.
There are probably twenty failures of
merchants and manufacturers to every
one farmer. The records of business
failures the past year or two, furnishes
the proof of this statement.

WHAT THE YOUNG MEN OF
The CITY NEED 3diJ j

The subject has frequently been
brought to the attention of our citiz-
ems, of the Importance of providing a
suitable room or rooms for young
men, such as are found in almost every
city of the size of this, and less.
Proper accommodations where young
men may spend their evenings are
found to serve good purposes else
where, and would be equally advanta
geous here, did they exist. Societies
called Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions are no untried experiment; they
have been established throughout the
eastern, middle and western states,
and their benefits, wherever managed
with any degree of prudence, have
been seen and acknowledged. These
associations are not. as might be In
ferred from the name, strictly religious
organizations; they are patronized and
sustained by the friends Of public
morals, good order and intellectual
culture, as well as by professors Of
religion.
Without mentioning what has beer
done, or is being done in other cities,
both greater and smaller than this, re-.
ference will be had to one nearest by:
Raciue. The association IN that city
has occupied rooms in a central loca.
ton at a moderate rent, and is now
preparing to erect building of its
own, which will be an ornament to the
city. For this purpose $4,000 have
been pledged; two noble-hearted men
have promised $4,000 each, and an
other $4,000. The balance is made up
of smaller amounts, The first story of
the building will be rented for stores.
and the second and third will be occu-
pied by the association. Prominent
among the rooms will be a lecture
room or chapel, a reading room and a.
library. Such, In brief, is all ontline of
the prospective building, as stated to
us by the officers Of the association Y
Kenosha has public-spirited men,
who often respond literally to the call
for funds. There seems to be no diff
Guilty in raising money to provide rooms
elegantly furnished with the appliances
of comfort and convenience for the
enjoyment of the select. That is all
we'll enough, and no one has right to
complain. People have an unquestion-
able privilege to choose their associates.
The appeal now is for some instru-
mentality to reach the masses of young
men; to provide for them some place
of resort, where they can spend an
evening profitably without being oblig-.
ed to go to the saloons. There is not a
place on Main or any other street in
the city where young men who desire
to meet and be seated for any worthy
object, without ayailing themselves of
saloon accommodations. IF there are
way ward young men in the city who
spend their leisure hours unprofitably,
the fault rests largely with those who
ought to take an interest in their in
tellectual impr oyement. 1t would re-
quire comparatively but a small
amount to rent one of the vacant
stores in the city; tl. furnish it with
papers and general reading matter, and
otherwise equip it comfortably and ac-
ceptably for all young men who desire
these advantages.
