CHARGES OF crookedness have been
made against Ex-Governor Click, of
Kansas, who was elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket, in 1852, in the desire to
shelve prohibition st. John. lie was
claimed to be the best chief executive
that peculiar State had ever had, but If
the charges are true regarding his
knowledge of crookedness in the man
agement of the penitentiary, the Democ-
racy will not have much to brag upon.
The Austin Statesman says: "San
Antonio is really city; one need not go
there TO find it out. Her papers give
evidence Of abundant enterprise of her
citizens. II is to be hoped she will be
rewarded with near outlet to. the gulf
by way Of Arkansas Pass. That no
longer seems mere hope, but great
probability. Who blames San
Antonio and San Antonio papers for as
Stunning little superiority as city and
putting on city style. 1t is really high
ly commendable. The citizens of the
Alamo have encouraged the papers and
the papers have encouraged them until
there is a good feeling all around. A
sort of feeling of pity for those who dc

IRELAND.

Parnell, the leader Of the Irish ma
tionalists, made a speech in Dublin a
short time since, advocating separation
from England and the independence
of Ireland, which has aroused strong
feelings of indignation. The leading
London journals have come down upon
him with much severity. Parnell will
have strong following, but will hard
ly succeed. 1t is predicted if he fails
in this bold attempt to sever ireland
from the British Empire he will lose
his prestige and cease to WELD power.
England may consent to allow ireland
local self-goyernment, but to grant
separation and independency OF Ireland
will hardly come to pass during the
present generation. The best friends
of Ireland, it is believed, do not think
it advisable for Ireland to assume an
independent nationality among the
governments Of Europe. Its popula
ton and resources could not entitle il
to rank as a tirst-class power. What
Ireland needs is justice from England

PERrLS OF NE WSPAPER EN-
TERPRISES.

Probably but few people have any
adequate idea of the large amount of
capital which has been sunk in at
tempts to establish newspapers in large
cities. Il is one of those ventures
which ara tempting in more respects
than one. If the enterprise of estab-
fishing newspaper weathers the storm
and sGrmounts the difficulties almost
certain to be encountered in a city
where existing papers have already oh.
tanned a strong foothold, it generally,
If conducted satisfactorily to the public,
proves q good investment. Many of
the prominent newspapers in Chicago,
New York, and cities of less size, are
among the best paying business of the
country. Another desirable considera-
ton of the newspaper is the influence
which it enables its managers to WELD
in the affairs of the country. Here
comes in the strong temptation to EN-.
bark on the sea of journalism, and here
is where millions of dollars have been
hopelessly lost by ambitious and over
sanguine people.
A case of newspaper failure has re-
Gently occurred in Chicago which has
excited general sympathy, for the rea-
son that the gentleman who embarked
in the undertaking has the reputation
of decided merit, and sought to establish
apaper of high class, called the Current.
Mr.. Edward l.. Wakeman, who made
the effort to establish the Current. tells
the story Of his unfortunate invest.
ment. A single paragraph is taken
from his statement, which will serve as
a specimen OF what he has to say:

HIGH LICENSE.

1t cannot be charged that the move.
ment for high license in this city is a
political measure. Members of both
political parties signed the application
made to the city clerk to call a special
election to determine the voice of
the people in respect to the grade
of license desired. What is true in
this city as to this not being a par.
tisan movement is true of all other
towns and cities where any action has
been taken to raise the price of license.
The class of persons who are in the
saloon business will doubtless strive
to have it appear party question, but
it is not true that all saloon-keepers
are opposed to an increase of the price
of liquor license. The call for vote
to raise the price to a higher figure has
been signed by saloon-keepers in this
city as we'll as in other places. The
question to come before the people is
so simple, little school boy can com.
prehend it.: Will cheap liquor sa.
looms, and plenty of them, promote
the best interests of the city?".

S0NERS.

The month Of August has been re-
markable for, as / believe, the unpre-
cedented amount of rain that has fall
en- in this vicinity-aqu quantity believed
to be in excess of any since the settle
ment of this locality, now fifty years.
The amount, according to reliable
measurements, is over thirteen inches !;
some say fifteen. The longest interval
between showers is four days, and often
only one to three, and for a succession
two and even three days are noted.
The wet has seriously retarded harvest
ing. Reaping machines have mad to
lay by for days, and on some lands it is
impossible at present to use them.
Some oats and fax are still standing,
or rather lying ON the ground, and
scythes are the only implements that
can be used, The earth is so saturated
that every hollow is filed with water
and remains so, the rain falling before
the water of the previous fall is absorb
ed or evaporated.
Broad tire wagons have been In de-
mand, and at times the only ones that
could be used to haul hay or grain on
some lands.
A few are through stacking. With
dry weather most of the grain will be
stacked this week. Some stacked grain
is getting warm. and some stacks have
been taken down, dried and restacked.
The prospect for cutting slough hay
or that in runs looks dubious, and un-
less cut soon will be of small value for
feed. Quite portion is ruined: so
say farmers.

No one before had regarded his opinions

CHURCH CHOTRS.

Will the church choir of the future,
in its efforts to carry the parts and
reach the high notes, tear the sentences
to pieces, and make the grandest poems
only sound? The time is coming
when the hearers in the pews will re-
bel against present fashions and de-
mand that distinct articulation is a
necessity for good music. With one
half of the fashionable choirs hearers
cannot tell whether they are singing
the words, MARY had a little lamb, "
or the good old hymn, Rock of ages
cleft for me-" There is a big opening
for reform in choir singing. Philadel-
phiG Press.
The above criticism is doubtless just
in many instances, but does not apply
to all church choirs. There are many
excellent choirs which are not liable to
such criticism. A distinct articulation
and enunciation of words and syllables
Is of primary Importance to speakers or
singers. The human voice, whether
in the exercise of speaking in the pull
pit on the platform, or singing in the
church choir, needs to be made mat
ter of training and study. Not one stu.
dent in ten in the law or in the sacred
professions attaches proper importance
to voice culture; hence it is that SC
many professional speakers enter upon
their respective vocations with voices
as inharmonious as the barking of 9
mastiff. The old Grecian masters OF
voice training spent more weeks il
improving the organs Of speech thar
now receives an hours attention. Ii
these days a good church choir ranks
next to the pulpit in interesting a con
gregation; if it is proper for church
to have vocal music at all, then it is ;
duty to have the best that circum
stances will allow without too mucl
extra expense. Hardly congregation
can be found which has not the ma
| terial for a respectable church choir
Some churches prefer congregations
singing, and where this method o
song service is most acceptable, it j
where the congregation has takel
pains to fit itself for that part of tn
worship.

,r ANYBODY sooms r. b.va hrou,bt

lar. Anybody seems to have brought
the mail from anywhere and left it
anywhere. The truth is there was not
much to bring, with postage at 25
cents. Harvey Durkee tells us he used
often to bring it from Willis in his
hat that winter. Mr.. Boughton, down
on Miller Creek, who overlooked with
jokes and disllked Pike River, said the
new Office was like the mill of the
story: the mill site would have been
one of the best of mill sites if there
had only been some water there; and
Pike would have been an excellent
place for post Office had there been
any mail to go there. Indeed, in those
days there was much doubt where the
coming city was to be, and Geo Willis,
three miles back from the lake, thought
that, with the Milwaukee road and the
new stage line in his favor, it would
certainly center around his tavern.
Considerable bad feeling had indeed
grown up between the country people
and the Western Emigration Company
And perhaps no event of 1885 was
more important than the dissolution OF
the company in December. Outsiders
had always been jealous of it, and its
own members seem to have derived
little from it but trouble with Others
and among themselves, so that they
were now quite ready to get back q
fraction of their investment. So il

CANALS AND RAILROADS.

Those who suppose railroads have to
a large extent taken the place of canals
and other waterways in the transpor-
tation of heavy freights are mistaken.
AT a recent canal conference held at
Utica, N. Y, it was shown that the
Erie Canal during the past year has
carried more Igrain from the west to
the east than all thearailroads put to-
gether. For the carrying of heavy
freights railroads will probably never
be able to compete with water naviga-
ton. A convention composed of dele
gates from the northwestern states
will be held at st. Paul, Mimi, on
Thursday next to take into considera-
ton the improvement of western
rivers sand waterways. In work of
this kind the agricultural people of the
great northwest are directly interested.
