OLD FOLKS DAY.

1t was happy thought which a few
years ago came to a few gentlemen in
this city, suggesting that it would be a
good and proper thing to do to enter
tain the "old folks" exclusively on
one day of the year; and if the thought
were happy the win that has since
acted upon it. and annually given up a
day TO the pleasure of the venerable
DANES and sires of the community, was
still better. All honor to the kind and
thoughtful gentlemen whose names
are SO well known in connection with
the yearly Old Folks excursion.
Not that we do not all
honor age and respect the gray
haired and venerable; not that
any right-minded man or woman, boy
or girl, is ever wanting in consideration
for the veterans whose battle with the
world has been fought so near to the
finish. Ithas been remarked that age is
reverenced in Utah as nowhere else, and
we believe the compliment is merited.
1t is this universal respect for the old.
this desire to make merry the grand
fathers and grandmothers OF the COM
munity, that enables the gentlemen
who have assumed the privilege of ar
ranging and managing these excursions
and Publications to make of them such
joyous successes. The kindness OF
heart is aided and supported
by generous purses and willing
hands, nobody failing in anything that
will make the dear old souls happy"
1t is hoped that the custom inaugu-
rated few years ago OF bringing the
old people together on one day of the
year, and taking them into the country;
where they can enjoy the fresh air and
make merry in healthful sport and re-
creation, where they can be made to
feel that they are sovereigns before
whom all delight to bow, anu to
obey whose commands is the best
pleasure of everybody-it is hoped, We
say, that this custom will never be for
gotten or permitted to fail of obser-
vance; it would be well is''0ld Folks
Day. could be made one of our annual
observances as firmly fixed in the routine
of community events as our other days
of note and significance.

CARING FOR TRAMPs.

Among the interesting papers reao az
late conference in Washington oil
Charities and Corrections. was one de-
scribing the operations of the Way
farer's Lodge" OF Boston. The institu-
ton was established in 1879, since which
time it had been maintained at an aver
ace annual cost of $4,000 which is re-
duced by profit of between 5000 ana
$4,000 from the woodward. Inc pur-
Pose OF the Lodge was the providing OF
a place for receiving homeless men-
tramps. in fact, who had prevl-
ously been lodged only in the
station-house. Applicants must APP
ply at the police stations for cards Of
admission, and such of the applicants
az are intoxicated are held at the
police headquarters for the night. The
Lodge is opened at pm, and closed at
10 O'Clock, nc one being admitted alter
that hour. Before going to bed, each
lodger is required to undergo warm
bath and a shampoo, when he Is
furnished with comfortable night
shirt to sleep in. If his clothes are
"troublesome,n that is to say, if they
are infested by vermin, they are thrown
into steam boiler at pressure OF sixty
pounds, .whsre they are kept Tor two
hours, when they are taken out and
dried, being ready for the owner IN the
morning. At o'clock in winter and
earlier in summer, the dodgers are
called, and before they are given
any breakfast are required to
DO certain amount of work in the
woodward. BY 9 o'clock the dodgers
have performed their task, taken their
breakfast and gone, when the Lodge is
put in order for the reception of its
guests the next evening.
The paper stated that vast majority
of the poor men who ask for food and
shelter are worthy; they are docile, per-
form their work willingly, and only in
few instances had it been necessary to
bring the dodgers before the courts for
refusing to work, for destroying the
tools, or assaulting the employees. Up
to April Goth, 1885, .125, OS4 lodgings and
257 $40 meals had been given. The over
,seers regarded the institution as a grand
success, and it undoubtedly is
one, in that it helps worthy
persons whose offense is pow
cry or inability to obtain employ
ment. But, after all, the "Wayfarer $
Lodge" does not deal with the genuine
tramps, the lazy, loafng, vicious, theiv-
ing rascals who prowl about the coun-
try, the terror OF women and the pests
of the community generally. These
are the fellows who do not &C to the
houses provided by public charity for
their care; the two or three hours of
labor required to pay for their nights
lodging and breakfast is more than they
will perform while there are barns and
haystacks in which to sleep and women
that they can brighten into giving them
food. The real tramp nuisance is some
thing that must be dealt with in a
spirit eff irmness and severity.

AN ORATOR WANTED FOR THE
UNITED STATES SENATE.

For the first time, in considering fit-
ness for the Office of United States
Senator in this state, has oratory been
regarded an important qualification
for the office. No one holds true
oratory in higher estimation than our
humble selves Wisconsin has never
yet been represented in the Senate with
a high order of oratorical talent. Sena-
tor Carpenter was accounted an orator
by some people, but he evinced but
little Evolutionary training. or the
graces and re6nements of finished
orator. He was a ready speaker. had
an easy flow of language. and was
popular with the crowd. But whoever

CLEVELAND AND THE INDIE
PENDENT REPUBLICANS.

The question as to what extent the
Independent Republicans, who desert.
ed and went over to the Democratic
party, would have influence with
Cleveland, has been in good measure
answered. It is now understood that
Cleveland does regard them an import
ant factor i'll his success. This is
shown by the promptness with which
he answered the letter of Geo. William
Curtiss and members of the civil SER
vice league, asking his intention in re-
spect to observance of civil service
rules. Taking the letter OF Curtiss
and the reply of Cleveland thereto, it
is clear that the parties had an under
standing before the election, if not
prior to the Chicago Convention, that
Cleveland should have the support Of
the Independent Republicans, on his
assurance that the civil service rules
should be enforced, III the event of his
being elected to the Presidency. This
now renders the situation embarrass-
ing. The Democrats, as party, are
not ready to have the Independents
shape the policy OF the President, for
they are after all but small number,
and have not been on probation long
enough to test their reliability in
the future. The Democrats probably
could not do better than to take the
Independent Republicans into full fell
lowship without further probation; it
is quite certain they will not be in
vited back into the Republican ranks.
Their leaders having participated in
the Chicago Republican Convention,
and then repudiated the nomination
in which they had seemingly acqui-
esced, have forfeited the confidence of
the party to which they had belonged.

CONGRESS-

Congress met on Monday last after
the holiday adjournment, and did a
good days work the first day. The
bill before Congress at the last session,
but not acted upon, providing for the
abolition of the Internal Revenue tax
on tobacco, amounting annually to
about $5O,O0O,OOO, was attempted to be
passed on Monday. On motion to take
up the bill in the House, and put it on
its passage. it was defeated by vote
of n to 1913. The reduction of the tax
on tobacco was but the stepping stone
to the abolition of the tax on whisky.
which amounts to $S0,0O0,O0O. It
would be unwise legislation to abolish
The tobacco and whiskey tax, especially
when the national public debt, instead
of being reduced. has been increasing
for some time past. This is an inop-
perfume time to allow the public debt
to increase, to satisfy the whiskey
manufacturers, who are clamo1ous for
reduction of the tax; also the tobacco
dealers.

NEW YEARS CALLS.

The practice of making New Years
calls is on the decline. This is. not
based on the fact that there was less
calling in this city on the first day of
the new year than ever before. Many
other towns and cities make the same
statement of the decline of the custom.
The innocent practice of making New
Years calls is proper and commendable
it is a pleasant way of extending
friendly greetings to old friends and
making new acquaintance. Social in
terchanges adds to the enjoyment of
life. A number Of reasons have been
given why the custom is regarded with
less favor than in other years. EX-
trayagant OUTLAWS by families receiving
have. in obedience to fashion, become
burdensome, causing much extra work
of housekeepers. and attended with an
expense exceeding that of large din
ner party. Another reason is given,
that New Years receptions are in
these later times taken advantage of
by unwelcome callers, whose only pur-
pose is to enjoy the luxuries provided
on such occasions. No doubt these in
truders would not be invited guests if
the reception were by card. This is
one OF the objections (which hardly ad-
mlts OF reform. Still another reason
why New Year calls were not observed
as usual the present year is the gener-
al business depression. In times of
financial embarrassments people are in.
ciined to be less cheerful and in no ami.
able mood to make merry with friends.
New Years day is unlike any other
holiday. 1t commentaries no histori.
cal event; it is simply day denoting a
period of time in the calendar, which.
by the custom of all civilized people, is
noticed in various ways. It is not an
orators day; no declaimer in measured
sentences and rounded periods de-
llvers funeral eulogy over the depart
ed year; nor does he make the new
born year the theme of eloquent dis.
course; its future is unwritten history.

GREAT DEMOCRAT TIC OPPORTUN-
ITY

The Democratic party is charged
with not having been instrumental in
passing any bill through Congress of
great national Importance during the
past twenty years. That party has
now an opportunity to make an honor
able record, which will rebound to it's
credit and do much to retrieve it's
character for past remissness of duty.
There is a bill now before Congress
which passed the Senate at the last
session by large majority, and which,
If it becomes a law and is faithfully
carried out, will do more to establish
the perpetuity of the Union than any
other measure of legislation. We re-
fer to the bill making an appropriation
for public education in the several
states in proportion to their illiteracy;
it is practically a measure to aid the
work of education in the South. Such
an appropriation is a national duty.
Having given the negro the right to
vote, the government is bound to fur
nish him the means Of protecting that
right, and of intelligently exercising
the suffrage privilege. Without intel
ligence, the colored vote may become
a dangerous factor in politics, liable to
be suppressed by fraud and violence,
or controlled by designing demagogues.
Nothing but education can afford pro-
lection to the colored race. It will
teach them the ways of self-defence.
The fact is not to be concealed that
there is class of white people who do
not care to have the negro educated;
they can use him for their purpose in
bis ignorance better than they can if
educated.
Although the educational bill was
originated by Republicans. If the De.
mocratic House should now pass it
Republicans and liberal-minded men of
all classes will award praise to the
party who caused the bill to become a
law. Should the appropriation be
voted, a Democratic administration
and Democratic officers would have
the management and proper disburse-
ment of the funds. The party which
honestly and faithfully executes such
a great phllanthropic trust will deserve
more credit than would be gained by
building a navy, or lining all our sea-
coast with impregnable Notifications.
Here is the Democratic party's oppor-
tunity. 9i5

Gen. Fairchild, in comparing him with
Col. Spooner. Gen. Fairchild has for
many years been in public life; has Oft
en- in past years addressed large as
semblies of people satisfactorily; but
it appears not to have been discovered
until quite recently that he is an unin-
teresting public speaker; at least no
such intimation has until late appear
ed in any Republican journal. If it be
true that his qualifications are inferior
as a speaker, how has it come to pass
that he has been in such demand to adj
dress not only political meetings, but
assemblages of citizens on other occa-
sions? 1t looks very much as if this
objection to Gen. Fairchild is an after
thought, thrown in to damage his
prospect of election to the Senatorship.

NOW AND THEM

A respectable citizen, long resident
of this city, remarked to us few days
ago, Times are not as they used to be
in Kenosha.' On being asked in what
respect were they different, he replied
i'll the matter of public enterprises.
and general gatherings of citizens to
advance some desirable object, and re-
ferred especially to the late failure to
celebrate the adjustment of the city
debt.
Twenty-Five to thirty years ago
there were frequent gatherings of the
citizens in public meetings, called for
the consideration of some interest OF
the city, or for some moral, literary or
educational enterprise. Whenever
call for some such purpose was made,
the people readily responded, the meet
ings were generally well attended, ad-
dresses were made, and free inter-
change of sentiment followed. There
was usually no difficulty in arriving at
satisfactory conclusions. and de sirabIe
results were reached. If committees
were appointed for any given purpose,
the question was not raised as to the
political complexion of the committee
or if a programme of exercises was
agreed upon, no one took exception if
there happened to be clergymen, or
doctors or other professional men on
1t. Citizens who have been residents
here during the period mentioned will
recognize the change. During the
past two or three years there has not
been a general public meeting called
to consider the feasibility of establish
ing public library, q reading room.

WISCONSiN'S TERRITORIAL
HISTORY.

Moses M. Strong has in manuscript
a history which he has prepared of the
territory of Wisconsin up 10 1S48,
when the territory was admitted into
the Union as state. He has sought
an appropriation in former years of
the legislature to aid in the printing
of the book, which will make an oc-
tavo volume of 7O0pages. Mr.. Strong
will ask the legislature to subscribe
for 5000 copies for distribution among
the public libraries and offices of the
state. No doubt Mr.. Strong's book
will contain information of value, but
unless the legislature which meets
this winter is more inclined to favor
bringing out the book than the legis-
lature two years ago, our old friend
Moses will hardly accomplish his OBJ
ject.

AN UNRULY ELFMEN7'.

They have in Chicago an organiza-
ton called the International Work
ingmen's Association" This organi-
cation is composed of some of the
most reckless characters who at it's
meetings encourage lawlessness and
violence. Last Sunday good-sized
hall was filled with this kind of people.
A sentence is quoted from the opening
address of the first speaker. as follows
"This world was created for all the
people alike, and capitalists must take
the nOn-capitalists into partnership, or
else with the assistance of dynamite
leave the world" Other speakers ut
tered sentiments, if possible. still more
atrocious. Resolutions were adopted
affirming in substance these declara-
tions.
1t is true this is a country where
free speech is tolerated, but if there be
no law to restrain and punish those
who attempt to incite the ignorant
populace to violence and murder, then
it would be we'll If there were such
statutes.

Mr.. Randall uses one argument in
connection with protection that takes
well in the South; he tells the people
that the cause of hard times is burden
some taxation. To relieve the country
of this lead, he proposes the abolition
of internal revenue tax on whisky and
tobacco. This is just what the South
has been clamoring for in past years.
Whether taking off the tax of eighty
cents per gallon on whisky, thus reduc-
ing The cost of that article to about one
third its present price, would relieve
hard times, will strike most people here
at the North as preposterous. The
idea that cheap whisky is panacea for
depression in business is something
absurd.
