CHOLERA.

Cholera continues its march of death
IL Spain and some of the djoining dis
tricts of country with undated VIC
lence. No hostile army ever marched
through country carrying death and
desolation before it more surely than
does this terrible scourge. Many of
the thousands who fed at its approach
are Overtaken, having carried with
them the hidden germs of the disease.
When it is remembered that between
four and five thousand new cases occur
daily in Spain, and that nearly one
half of these prove fatal, some imper-
feet idea can be formed of the conster.
nation and distress of the inhabitants.
1t Is wise for the people of this country
to adopt sanitary measures; the wide
ocean that intervenes between us and
Europe is no barrier. Notwithstand-
ing the most strict quarantine regula-
tions, cholera has in the past STEALTH
ly crossed the sea, and, when least ex.
pected, will do so again.

vast deal of unemployed labor in this
country, or, in other words, idleness.
The remarkable fact is shown by the
census of 1880, that only about one
third Of our population were employ
ed in productive industries. Less
than one-half of the inhabitants over
ten years of age were engaged in any
occupations of profit. This perhaps is
because of enforced idleness, there
being no open doors for work adapted
to the unemployed. 1t appears that
in no country in Europe is so large a
proportion of the population unpro.
dnetiye. It will perhaps be said that
the American people are privileged
with more leisure than in Europe
Leisure is sometimes but another
name for idleness, and the latter il
denomiHated the parent of crime
Still the question remainf unanswered
What can be done!
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1885-08-21

The American people pride them
selves on having been the projectors
and inventors of most of the improve.
ments for convenience and utility. 1t
is true that the people of this country
have right to claim many of the
modern neutrality-suspicious. as much,
if not more than most other nations,
but our people ought to be liberal and
not claim all the improvements for the
worlds benefit and enjoyment. The
Christian Union, in inviting attention
to this subject, declares that in some
particulars we are as obstinate set
of BOurbons as exist, and gives the
following:
"There is no European town that
does not have its omnibus and horse
cars with seats upon the roof. and yet
this most desirable improvement has
been steadily resisted everywhere in
America. 1t is said that, to the last,
Victor Hugo delighted to ride around
Paris on the knife-board" of an omni-
bus, and the diversions of ride on the
top of an English omnibus have been
the staple of articles IN English litera-
ture for generations. But these pleas
ures are denied to Americans when
they are at home. If the new car route
in Broadway would give us second
story vehicles, ride up and down that
street would be delight to citizens
and strangers. Then, again, see how
we adhere in all parts of the country
to the Concord coach. Why has not
some alert, enterprising fellow given
us the Swiss diligence? In this vehi-
Gle the baggage is stored in the body of
the coach, and numerous seats are ar
ranged on spacious platform covering
the top, sllrmounted by an awning.
A journey upon one of these diligences
is airy, cool, and delightful. Still
again, why can't we have on our sea-
shore the English movable bath wag-
Ons? Many persons would certainly
prefer to step from one of the roomy
dressing-boxes directly into the sea
rather than to dress in a packing-box
on the shore, and then run a gauntlet
of many eyes before the water can be
reached. 1t cannot be said these bath
ing machines would be unpopular, for
no one has made the experiment. Yet,
again, on the sands in Europe one can
always hire chair for trife, carry it
down to the verge of the tide, and re.
main there at his pleasure. Here no
such enjoyable experience is attain
able. One must occupy regulation
benches far away from the tide, to the
great detriment Of the pleasure of his
trip. We are certainly very slew and
very obstinate in some things, and
could take many lessons from stupid
old Europe to great advantage"

energies took even a scholastic and |
literary turn. About the holidays he
moved up into his house, near the pres
emit engine house, where we soon find |
him teaching the first school in the |
county, with twenty-seven scholars. |
Who these were and what they did |
we may not say; but they probably |
studied those two dozen English Read |
ers and Smiths Arithmetic and six
Kirkbam's Grammars, which | find |
Mr.. Lothrop ordering from the east the |
fall before. But school-teaching was
only part of Mr.. Lothrop's work. His
diary gives us glimpse of him split
ting rails and making furniture for his
house, writing letters and articles for
eastern papers, reading much, even
writing poetry and painting pictures, ~

Mr.. Lothrop also did some other
noteworthy work this winter. Hither.
to claim-holding had been an uncer-
tain business. The pioneer made a
small rail pen and carved his.n name on
it; or he had few burrows plowed,
and built shanty. Perhaps he staid
to hold it. perhaps left it to hold itself.
Often he would come back to find an
intruder in the field and even in sthe
cabin. Sometimes without absence he
would awake some morning to ind
another shanty on his claim, and the
jumper in serene possession. I'm such
cases there was often resort to force,

and many shanty pulled down in this
squatter warfare.
Hence the need of organization
among the settlers to defend each
other. There may have been such
organization earlier.-but ON February
Ii, 1886, a meeting here organized the

constitution declared that to hold a

ONE OF The LABOR PROBLEMS.

There is no problem relating to the
future welfare and destiny OF the coun-
try greater than the question of labor.
1t is now one of the uppermost ques.
tions with the best minds who are
studying the interests of the working
classes. 1t needs no alarmist to warn
the people of dangers which are COM
ing nearer and growing in strength,
for every one who reads the current
news of the day can but see the i'm
pending trouble. There are many
phases of the labor question to which
require wisdom to answer. One is,
says the Inter Ocean, how can much
larger number of our people. especially
women and children, be profitably and
pleasantly employed? The condition
of the employed is not to be judged by
one particular town and neighborhood,
but the country in general. The
United States census reveals the fact
that there must necessarily exist al

1t is announced that the trades or
CARNATIONS throughout the United
States are moving by petition, asking
President Cleveland to call an extra
session of Congress in the latter part
of September next, the session to be
devoted exclusively to the considera-
tiOn Of measures for the relief of the
industrial classes of the country. The
object is certainly worthy one and of
vital Importance; but the question has
been repeatedly asked, and is still un.
answered, How TO do it?" The same
grievances in kind exist in England as
they d1 here. IL will be noticed that
Queen Victoria, in her late speech
from the throne, announced that she
had authorized a committee of inquiry
to report what measures Of legislation
were practicable to relieve the present
depression Of labor i'll England, 1t is
aquestion Of mOmentous Importance,
and if it be il the power of human
legislation to devise methods to meet
the demands of the unemployed, it
should be done. Although the call on
the President will represent thousands
it is doubtful if the President responds
favorably, the aSked-for relief having
not taken form.

FRUIT.

The failure of the peach crop In
Michigan, reported in the early part of
the season, is not as disastrous as
was stated. The short crop in some
portions of the state is overbalanced in
other localities with a plentiful supply
Berlin, in this state, is the blackberry
center. The cultivation of this fruit
occupies the attention of many people.

worth but ten cents square foot, has
risen to fabulous prices
a square foot. If this be true, some
body has made good deal of money.
The fact of such a great rise of prop
erty does not absolutely prove that the
choice of Riverside as the place for the
burial Of Gen. Grant to have been ORR
ginally designed as speculation.
But whether the choice of Riverside
had concealed speculation or not, it
is quite probable Washington or its
immediate vicinity will yet be chosen
for the final entomDment of Gen.
Grant. 1t is said Gen. Logan will in
the early part of the next session intro
duce measure in Congress for the
removal of the remains of Gen. Grant
to locality more in accordance with
the wishes of the American people.

1t is early to speak Of elections, but
the prospect is that the nIUsC W1IIn1y
contested election, and one which will
attract the most general attention, is
that to occur in the great state of New
York next November. New York is Il
great political power in the Union,
hence its vote is watched with more
than ordinary interest. There will be
voted for in that state at large a Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary
Of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, State
Engineer and Surveyor, and Attorney
General, besides officers elected by
districts. The note Of preparation for
the great battle is beginning to be
heard.

cago, to run through the western towns
in Kenosha county, is to be let imme-
diately, and that the right of way has
been secured north of the state line,
with few exceptions. Whether this
statement in respect to the right OF
way be true or not the people on the
line of the contemplated road in this
county know.

Although there is no great amount
of building being done in this city,
some very handsome residence i'm
provements have been made, particu-
larry the dwelling of N r. Allen, on
Chicago street, is noticeable. His
large grounds have been put in first
class condition and appearance by the
laying of paved walks and other i'm
provements. His house, taken in con-
nection with its improved surround
ings, is now probably not surpassed in
attractiveness by any residence in the
city.

ers in every considerable city, and per-
haps some of the same sort in the ru-
raj districts, who take pleasure in what
is called society news These read
ers are denominated ladies. The in
terest does not stop with seeing the
names of society people in print, but is
especially heightened IN reading the
descriptions of the elaborate toilets
worn by them. Publishers Of city
papers are usually anxious to secure
descriptive reading of this sort, because
they know whom it pleases. 1t re-
quires an expert reporter to write a
notice of fashionable party. He
must be acquainted with the French
names of all the gear of a society wo.
man. Plain English names of the
different parts of lady's costume will
not do; tits too commonplace. Ameri-
can silks, satins and laces, if not vul-
gar of mention, are not at all fashion
able. Many society women cannot af-
ford new and expensive dress once a
year; it draws too heavily on their
husbands purse, and yet she dislikes to
be seen always wearing the same dress
at a party, however much it may have
cost. Society folks in some of the
large cities have decidedly the advan-
tage in the matter of expense for dress
on extra occasions. The ladies' toilet
furnishing establishments keep on
hand fashionable outfits for an after
noon or evening entertainment for
consideration. A lady may attend all
the magnificent levees, provided the
invitations are general, and appear in
a change of costume as often as she
chooses, if she is willing to pay the
hire of change. Probably this prac-
tice of appearing in hired toilets is
more common in Washington than any
other city in America. The popula-
ton in that city is constantly changing:
multitudes come to stay few weeks,
pass on and give place to others. The
business of the majority who come is
sightseeing. The lady visitors very
naturally wish to see Washington
society, of which they have heard
much, and therefore avail themselves
of attending receptions, levees, and
wherever fashionable people congre-
gate. Besides, the great majority of
people who visit Washington bring on
ly a portion of their wardrobe with
them; they come to stay only for a
short season, hence the convenience of
the QUILTING establishments. Gentle
men have less occasion for these fur
nishing houses than ladies. Their
for an extra occasion is
swallow-tail coat and white necktie: |
these are always kept for let.
The practice of describing ladies
toilets, however pleasing to some read
ers, is nevertheless open to just criti- |
cism. 1t encourages extravaganza |
because inviting competition. 1t is
natural for women to desi re, if not al
ways to excel in costume, at least |
to be equal to their neighbors. No
possible good can be said to be gain
ed by giving publicity to what a lady
wears. Itinvites to curiosity, which,
f allowable, is not profitable.

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF
CITIES.

Almost every middle-aged man re-
members Minneapolis as an incon-
siderable village. st. Paul at the same
time was quite a city. Minneapolis
has had the most remarkable growth
of cities; it has rushed forward in
population with W ondrous speed. By
the census just completed it has $780,
200; st. Paul has 111,397. Although
st. Paul has fallen behind Minneapolis
1903, the former has not been a city
of slow growth, but its increase of
population has averaged we'll with
most of the growing cities of the
Union.

The propagation of Parliament was
announced on Friday last, the 18th

Queen Victoria is sympathic docu-
ment. In speaking of the poor and
laboring classes she says:

ed, to diminish the evils of over-crowd-
ed and insanitary dwellings, which

terial well-being of the laboring classes.

prevailed in many of the important
trades and agriculture and manufac-
turing industries of the country, and
which still continues. / have directed
the issue of commission to inquire
into the causes of this depression, and
to ascertain whether it can be allevi-
ated by legislation"
This care for the welfare of the poor
and laboring classes is a commendable
trait in any government. Our own
American government would do we'll
to look after the welfare of the work.
ing men, and less after the interests of
moneyed corporations. In reference
to the two million of new voters which
have been added by the late enfran-
chisement act, the Qneen says:
81 pray the blessing of God may
rest upon their extended liberties, and
that the members who are called upon
to exercise new powers will use them
with the sobriety and discernment
which have for so long period marked
the history of this nation"
The speech of the Queen, which
answers to the message of the Presi-
dent to Congress in this country, occu-
pies only fraction over half news
paper column. Quite different in
length from our Presidential messages.
