WHOLESALE BARGAINING.

Two years ago Gen. Bragg and Del
aney, residents in the Second Congress
sional District in this state, were both
anxious to be candidates for Congress.
The district is overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. A written agreement was en-
tered into that Bragg should take the
nomination for that term of two years
and be supported by Delaney, and that
Delaney should have the nomination for
the Office this year. This extraordin.
airy agreement was recognized by the
delegates from Fond du Lac county and
Dodge county, both of these counties
being in the Second Congressional Dis
trict. On the back of this agreement
is an endorsement made by Gen.
Bragg that in case Grover Cleveland
was elected President, the patronage
of Dodge county should be controlled
by the Dodge county delegation. It is
now stated that Gen. Bragg refuses to
abide by the agreement, alleging that
there were certain conditions which
Delaney was to perform in which he
failed. But whether this latter state
ment be true or not is of no con-
sequence. A more dsgraceful trans
action would be difficult to find, ard if
the voters in the Second district are
not demented, they will consign both
Bragg and Delaney into private life.

BOYCOTT,

This homely word had no place in
our language until few years ago,
and was not found in our dictionaries.
The new editions Of the dictionaries
will doubtless contain the word and
give it a meaning 1t has now come
into more frequent use than any other
word employed to express class of
actions. An exchange paper explains
how this rowdyish word came to be
used, in substance as follows: Boy
colt is the name OF an Irish farmer
who incurred the displeasure of his
tenantry and neighbors. A plan was
fixed upon to drive him away by induc-
ing the working men in his employ to
quit him, also prevailing on merchants
and all sorts of tradesmen to ignore
him and do no business with him.
Capt. Boycott, being thus prescribed,
quit the neighborhood in disgust. 1t
is claimed there is necessity for the
word boycott, as it has no synonym in
our language; that is, there is no other
word that conveys the meaning intend
ed by boycott; so the word has come
to stay in the English language.

the Salvation Army in Beloit, in which
members of that religious sect were
roughly handled and their instruments
of music destroyed. Mayor Parker. Of
that city, to crafty some of his friends.
had without justifable reason, given
orders that the Salvationists should
not parade on the streets with drums
and other instruments of music. In
asmuch as this order was intended
alone for The Salyationists, and not
general, the Salvationists did not re-
gard it. bat did appear on the street il
accordance with their usual custom.
This was the occasion of the mobbing
OF the Salvationists, as stated last week.
But the matter was not allowed to end
here by the better class of citizens of
Beloit. Nearly a week after the riot
aforementioned, the Salvationists again
appeared on the street with the add
ton of some eighty or ninety, mostly
prominent citizens of Beloit, among
whom were several leading clergymen
of the city, and a number of well
known christian ladies. They march
ed through the streets, singing hymns
and carrying banners. Services were
held on the street corner, attended by
a great crowd of spectators, and no at
tempts at disturbances were made.
Mayor Parker did not put in lis APP
pearance, but kept aloof. Here is a
lesson showing how unjust persecution
helps the cause it is intended to injure.
Had Mayor Parker not stepped cut of
his line of duty, the Salvationists would
have created no more stir in Beloit
than they have elsewhere. But now
persons of wealth and influence in that
city express their determination to
stand by the Salvationists and promise
them protection at whatever cost.

IMITATION BUTTER.

Congress, after several weeks dis
cussion on the subject of imitation
butter. and how to dispose of this vex-
atious question, finally reached vote
in the house on Thursday of last week
and the bill was passed-177 ayes, to
101 noes. The bill imposes a tax of
five cents pound on imitation butter.
AS originally introduced, the tax pro-
posed was ten cents, but it was found
it could not pass with higher tax
than five cents, SO that amount was
adopted. The provisions of the bill.
as it passed the House, may be materi-
ally changed before it passes the Sem
ate. if it passes the Senate at all, on
which doubts are expressed. But it
would seem that in accordance with
the public sentiment of the country
the Senate cannot refuse to pass a law
protecting the dairy interest. Tt was
hardly expected the vote on this bill
would assume political aspect, but it
had look of that sort. On the final
passage of the bill 1O5 Republicans
voted aye and II Democrats. Of those
voting no, is were Republicans and SIS
Democrats. The leading Southern
members strenuously opposed the taxa
tion of imitation butter. It was ear
nestly contended by many of the oppo-
sition that oleomargarine butter is
healthful. and it was taxing the "poor
mans butter" to put any restriction
upon it. This is an insult to the poor
men of the North, however it may be
to Southern people. IL is doubtful if
an intelligent poor American family
can be found in Wisconsin who would
not prefer to eat dry bread rather than
to have it buttered with substance
made out of soap grease fat. although
it may have been cleansed and puri-
fed. Safeguards are provided in the
bill. as passed, to protect dairymen
from being imposed upon by bogus
butter manufacturers. The details of
the bill will be given when it becomes
a law by the action of the Senate.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

A large convention of the knights
of Labor assembled at Cleveland, Ohio,
adjourned on Thursday last, after a
session of ten days. A great variety
of matters pertaining to the interests
of the laboring classes were discussed,
and Congress was petitioned to enact
laws for the benefit Of the working
men. Perhaps the most important
action of the convention was the invi-
tation to labor organizations of other
name to fall into line and come into
union with the Knights of Labor.
Were this invitation generally accept
ed, the knights Of Labor would become
powerful, if not a controlling factor
in the government. Especially, should
the Knights, with the numerical in
crease of numbers they seek, resolve to
enter the field of politics, they might
do much to embarrass the present
political party organizations. Now
that labor organizations have assumed
so much prominence, it will naturally
be expected that candidates for office
will so adjust their platform speeches
to catch popular favor from that
quarter.

ter. These subjects, especially the
former, when controversial, most of
all, lead to alterations. We are aware
it has been contended these questions
have little or nothing to do with home
rule. If not, why have the subjects of
education and religious rule been so
frequently referred to in the recent de-
bates in the House of Commons If
Ireland has home government, it must
have system of public schools.
What shall that bep So of other kind
red questions, on which the people of
Ireland are now divided. Home-rule
will ultimately prevail; it is only a
question of time.

DANGEROUS PLOT DISCOV-
Erred.

The United States Grand Jury in
Washington Territory has discovered
a plot having no less a purpose than
to overthrow the government of this
country. The organization is known
as the Red American International AS
ISOLATION. The grand jury declares
that it has the evidence to show that
this reasonable organization extends
throughout the country, and that the
main articles of its creed are arson,
robbery, murder, and its avowed pur.
pose the overthrow of the government,
and the erection on its ruins of a social.
istic commonwealth. The Grand jury
submit mass of facts to show the
existence of such en- organization, also
the means calculated upon for the ac-
complishment of its avowed purpose.

mob nearly year ago, at which time
some twenty of the Chinese were killed,

that the Chinese were intruders in the
United States; also that the mobocrats
were not citizens, but aliens and for
eigners.

some of the state offices have been
mentioned and their qualifications en-
dorsed. Whether any changes are seri-

seems to be taken for granted that our

hardly dissenting voice. In the Con-

HISTORICAL RECOLLECTIONS-
KENOSHA AND THE WAR.


Major d. G. McVean and his wife
from Jefferson Barracks, Missouri
were in this city part of Monday and
Tuesday last. Major McVean was on
his way to Milwaukee to attend the
reunion Of the first Wisconsin regi-
ment of infantry on Wednesday. On
the call by the Government for three
months volunteers, Mr.. McVean was
among the first to respond, and enlist
ed a company of which he was chosen
captain. w. W. Petit 1st Lieut.. and
E. Rowland I'd Lieut.. This company

tation speech was made by Mrs. F. S.

The flag was used by the company dur.
ing the three months service; after
that it was taken by the First Wiscon-
sin Infantry Regiment, and carried
during the war; at the close of which
the flag was brought back and Mrs.
McVean, wife of the major, became
the custodian of it. Mrs. McVean
brought the flag with her here on
Monday, and exhibited it to such as de.
sired to see it. The flag is considerably
the worse for wear. It is of heavy
blue silk. The usual devices seen on
American flags are artistically ar
ranged, showing it to have been the
work of skillful hands. Mr.. McVean
had thought of leaving the flag in Ke-
nosha, to be used on decoration occa-
sions, but having been informed that

decided what disposition to make of
it.
On the enlistment for the regular
service, the regiment known as the
First Wisconsin Infantry was the first
to respond. Here again Capt. McVean
raised a company of volunteers, of
which he was made captain, and sub
sequently promoted to the Office of

and valuable service during the war !;

The protection of the lake shore In
this city, from Market to Deming
streets, distance of three blocks, for
the sum of about $4,000, is much
commented upon. This is very natur-
al. Improvements involving taxation
are not apt to meet with universal
favor. The lake shore protection has
been subject of discussion for twenty
or more years. Attention has been
frequently invited through the press
and otherwise to the necessity of the
work. 1t is contended that in view
of our already heavy taxes this was
not an suspicious time to assume adj
ditional burdens for a work, though of
acknowledged necessity. On this we
have nothing to say. We cannot judge
of the average ability of the tax-ray-
ers to meet the expense, and they will
not care fer the judgment of a news
paper man who is himself not much
of a taxpayer.
