SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.

A movement of ministers of the diff
ferert denominations in the city of
Cleveland, Ohio, headed by Bishop
Bodell, of the Episcopal church, is work.
ing to boycott the Sunday newspapers.
Sermons from the various pulpits are
to be preached on May 2. Without en-
tering into the question of the right or
wrong of the Sunday newspaper. it APP
pears to be generally conceded the Sun
day newspaper has come to stay. 1t
has its patrons in every city, village
and neighborhood reached by the daily
mail There is room for Improvement
in the Sunday papers to render them less
Objectionable. tits not a good indica-
ton of the influence of Sunday papers.
or at least class of these papers, when
young men and boys of questionable
habits are seen 1ocking to the news
stands on Sundays to get their reading.
There is in some of the Sunday papers
reading of the same sort found in the
yellow1covered literature, which re-
spectacle people condemn as demoraliz-
ing. To close down on the Sunday
newspapers does not seem practicable,
but it is possible for ministers and all
good citizens to aid in discouraging
the sale of Sunday papers kept by news
dealers which contain Objectionable
reading matter to crafty the depraved
tastes of the readers. There are pub.
fishers of Sunday papers who aim to
exclude all low and disreputable mat
tiers from their papers, and yet there
are those who cater to the depraved
appetites Of readers to increase the
sales of their publications.

A large number of athletes in Roman
costume are seen in the foreground of
the city engaged in Olympian games
and athletic exercises. such as racing,
wrestling, boxing, etc.. when, suddenly,
the sky becomes overcast. thunder be-
Gins to roar, the earth to tremble, the
water of the bay to be agitated, and
old Vesuvius, looming up in the back
ground, to belch forth flames. The
air is filed with clouds of ashes, Obscur-
ing daylight; buildings begin to totter,
bricks and stones to fall, and the af-
frighted athletes seek safety in fight.
Some enter boats and escape across the
bay; others flee into the Suburbs of the
city and the surrounding country. and
the scene of their festivities is Instant
ly deserted, while torrents of burning
lava roll down the sides of the volcano,
presenting scene of frightful deyasta-
ton. Citizens make their appearance,
standing sghast, terror stricken, the city
is enveloped in clouds of smoke, show
ers of ashes and impenetrable darkness,
while, by the momentary flashes of
lightning, the multitude is seen run
ming hither and thither in wild alright.
The panoramic effects of this display
of fireworks is said to surpass anything
of the kind ever before exhibited in this
country. Although fancy piece. il
pictures so graphically the supposed
scene of the destruction of that Inflated
city that it requires but small sketch
of the imagination to realize one of the
most noted scenes of volcanic display
ever recorded in history.
The reader will remember that The
ruins of this city, although buried only
to the depth of fifteen feet above thu
top of the buildings, remained undis
covered till the middle of the last cen
tury. Since that time the work of ex
cavation has progressed SO slowly tina
with the present force of 80 laborers
composed of men, women and children
the entire city will be uncovered il

chance to secure relics by either thief
or bribery.

EDITOR OF THE TELEGRAPH.
The Courier last week assumed to
be the organ of the Republican party
of this county, and therefore entitled
to the printing patronage of all the
Republican Office holders in the county.
To assume to be the organ and leader
of the Republican party of the county
is very modest for newcomer, who
is scarcely out Of his political panta-
lettes. To be the leading organ of the
party requires some brains and knowl-
edge of politics in general, as well as
some experience. A fair way to judge
of its qualifications is to look over its
columns in times past; that will tell.
The Courier makes the same old
blunder, so often repeated, ofconfound-,
ing Killeen with the Republican party
because he owns property used by
Republicans for mechanical purposes.
We hope the editor of the Courier will
not inflict upon himself unnecessary
torture, because a crumb of patronage
has been thrown to the TELEGRAPH,
nor put in execution such dire threats
of putting his foot upon all Republican
candidates hereafter, who do not
pledge themselves to grant exclusive
patronage to his columns. Such threats
may have the effect to prevent many a
good but modest man from accepting a
nomination, in view of encountering
such powerful hostility and probable
annihilation. A REPUBLICAN,.

CAPITAL AND LABOR ONCE
MORE.

The already protracted discussion on
the rights of capital and labor is now
likely to receive new impulse and
continue with more vigor than ever
before. President Cleveland has re
solved to take hand in and bring his
official position to bear on this much
vexed question. The message sent by
the President to Congress last week
outlining plan for the settlement of
differences arising between capital and
labor contains no suggestions positively
new, but in the main good. That
the remedy for the adjustment of these
antagOnistic interests is arbitration
has been repeated over and over again,
but the best plan for carrying it into
effect has been perplexing matter.
Perhaps the President has proposed
the most feasible method for carving
arbitration into effect; if so. he will be
entitled to the thanks of the country.
The American people must be satisfied
of one thing. which is, if the disturbed
state of affairs is allowed to go on in
future weeks as in the past anarchy
and misrule will be the consequences.

SHEEP SHEARING.

The season of the year for the annu-
al gathering for sheep shearing has ar.
rived. At a shearing at Ripon, last
week, the following was the result:
The entries were nine rams and TWEEN
ty-two ewes; the heaviest was a rams
fleece from a four-year-old, which
weighed 80 pounds and ounces; a
three-year-old ram yielded q pounds
and 2 ounces; from a two-year-old 20
pounds and IL ounces. The heaviest
fleece from eve was 20 pounds and 4
ounces. Sixteen ewes sheared 2s4
pounds; sixteen rams $50 pounds.
How these yields of wool compare
with those in this and the adjoining
counties we are unable to state.

SERVANT GIRLS STRIKE.

A New York correspondent of the
Sentinel speaks of servant girls
strike in that aristocratic suburb,
Tarrytown. About twenty servant
girls demanded higher wages and were
refused; thereupon they at once de-
parted for the city, where they expect
ed better wages from families who are
now preparing to take their summer
vacations. Probably some of the fami-
lies who so unexpectedly lost their
servants were not ignorant of domestic
cookery; but those who had never had
any training in preparing palatable
food for the family managed as best
they could. 1t would have been anus
ing to have listened to criticisms over
poorly cooked steak, half baked bis
cults and other things to match. This
is but one inconvenience of many to
which every family is subject where
domestic training has been neglected.
1t is not only the sudden departure of
servant girls that may embarrass fam
lily uneducated in household duties,
but the loss of propriety. leaving the
family unable to pay the hire of SER
want girl, that the necessity for the
domestic education is most felt. OF
this latter unfortunate class, hundreds
are being added to every year.

which we take the following para
graph: II rejoice to find that pro-
family is considered vulgar in England.
During the years / resided in England
/ never heard a profane word from a
gentleman" No one could reside in
this country a year without hearing
profane language from those who have
a standing as gentlemen. 1t has been
charged that profanity is an Ameri-
canism. We are inclined to believe
that profanity is now less common
among the class of people who pass for
gentlemen than twenty years ago.
But without attempting to prove this,
the habit Of using profane words is
noticeable in too many who occupy
position of trust and responsibility in
the community. Educated men are
less excusable for INDUCING in profani-
ty than those who have had less educa.
tional advantages; but there is no good
excuse for any person to use profane
words.

HOME GOVERNMENT FOR
IRELAND.

The vote to be taken in the British
Parliament in the adoption of Glad
stones plan for HON government for
Ireland on the 10th of May is looked
forward to with intense interest. All
sorts of speculations as to the result
of the vote in Parliament are INDUCED
in; a powerful opposition has beel
gathering strength to Mr. Gladstone.
If his proposed home government is
adopted it will add new honors to the
already worldwide reputation Of Eng
lands Premier; if it fails, the affairs
of Ireland will be again at sea and its
future one of doubt and uncertainty.

SENATOR SAWYER, OF WIS.
CONSJN

Senator Sawyer is one Of the marked
men in Congress. He is not scholar
ly man, and probably has never written
an essay or an address. He has never
been known to make speech in Con-
gress during all his years of service.
But for all that lie has been instru-
mental in causing the enactment of
more laws than any other man in the
Senate, and exercises his influence in
an entirely different direction from
any other member. He has winning
manner of gaining the attention and
confidence of Senators, which is more
successful than the most eloquent
speech could be. He has been placed
on the pension committee, which in
wolves looking after the claims of
widows and relatives of deceased
soldiers. These claimants are mostly
OF the poor and needy classes, and Mr..
Sawyer takes great pleasure in serving
them. So earnestly has he entered up
on these duties that he has employed
clerks at his own expense to write let
tiers to procure information and exam
inc papers. The pension bureau, it is
said, decides from four to ten cases a
day. Mr.. Sawyer recently reported to
the Senate sixty-four cases, thoroughly
examined, which were adopted. Mr..
Sawyer has the reputation of careful,
conscientious man, and his reports are
sanctioned by the Senate without hest
fancy. If there were more honest
working legislators in Congress, and
fewer given to much, talking, the bust
ness of the country would receive far
better attention.

CITY GOVERNMENT.

There are certain things which the
people of small cities are interested in
as we'll as the people OF large cities.
In the first.year after the organization
Of the city government of Kenosha it
was the practice of the Mayor, after
the municipal election, to deliver his
inaugural message. This practice has
been dropped here for many years,
but for no good reason. If it be said
in excuse for this oAisSion, small cities
should not attempt to initiate large
ones in this formality, the reasoning
does not hold good. An annual mes
sage from the Mayor is not a mere
formality for show; ii is for the gen.
eral benefit of every citizen and tax
payer to be informed Of the condition
of the financial affairs of the city. At
the beginning of every new admins

CONVICT LABOR.
EDITOR TELEGRAPH

EDITOR TELEGRAPH.
A great question now before the
country is convict labor. To keep
criminals in prison idle is destructive
both to their morals and health
Those that did not become insane
would come out of prison worse men
than they went in. So some plan must
be found to keep them employed. That
is settled question about which
there is no dispute. The question is,
how shall they be employed so as to
allow the best means to be used to dis.
cipline and improve their morals. This
shoald be the first and last object. 1t
may seem a good thing to make a
state prison pay all or even part of its
expenses, but more would be saved by
converting a criminal into good citiz-
en-, SO the question of making prisoners
earning should be left out. and how
best to reform them should be the
main question. The working men
talk against convict labor as entering
into competition with them. but they
would suffer much more if prisoners
were kept idle. Taxes would increase
and the working men would have to-
bear their share of the increased taxes.

COUNTERFEIT SILVER COIN.

The Milwaukee papers say that city
Is flooded with counterfeit silver coin.
The sudden influx of spurious coin to
such an extent must be the work of a
gang of counterfeiters, for one or two
could not put so much in circulation in
so short time. The coin is such an
exact resemblance of the genuine that
but few persons are qualified to detect
the counterfeit. The spurious coins
thus far found are of date 1878, 1884
and 1885. But there are genuine coins
of those dates as well, so that furnishes
no clue to detection. Where clerks in
business houses have used great pre-
caution some of these spurious coins
have deceived them.
AS between paper currency and sill
yer money, the former has much the
advantage. Since our national bank
ing system has gone into operation but
little has been heard about counterfeit
bank bills; instances for years have
been rare, so few as to occasion no
drawback in business.

The Bee Hive Dry Goods Store is
known in Chicago as the busiest store in
that great city.
Although Millinery is their leading
feature they have increased their stocks
of regular Dry Goods, such as Dress
Goods, Silks, Linens, and more especial
~ Carpets and Upholstery Goods, to such
an extent that we deem it our duty to
call this fact to the attention of such of
our readers as contemplate visiting Chi
cago this Spring
1t may also be remembered that the
Proprietors of the Bee Hive will pay
particular attention to any Mail Orders.

The tide of speculation in mining
stocks is now drifting fast to the north
ern part of this state. Northern Wis
consin Las been rapidly developing the
past few years; towns and cities have
sprung up, and what only a few years
ago was a heavily-timbered wilderness
is now dotted with well-cultivated
farms. A new impulse is now given
the northern part of the state by the
rich iron mines now being brought in
to notice. The late rush for the iron
mines has not been unlike that in Cali
fornia for gold years ago. One of the
bright little eities--Lake Geneva--has
had drawn from it to the iron mines
many of its valuable citizens: some,
we are informed, have sold their homes
and gone to the mines; others have
rented their houses, and gone with the
expectation OF returning after they
have secured comfortable fortune.
If the statements of the richness of
the ores and the money profits from
stocks can be relied upon, many who
have gone thus early may not be dis
appointed. From list of well-known
individuals given who invested in min
ing stocks short time ago at prices
then considered low are now offered
for their investments prices almost
marvellous. Mr.. E. G. Timme, Sec
rotary of State, not long since pur-
chased 1000 shares of stock, which it
is believed by those competent to Judge
will prove an excellent investment.
The names of other investors are given
who are men of standing and not
known as spectators, showing the con-
fdepce which is felt in the mining in
terests in northern Wisconsin. Mr..
John E. Burton, Of Lake Geneva, is
one of the largest owners of mining
property, and it is said has realized
three-quarters of a million dollars on
the rise OF mineral property. Mr..
Burton has recently been investing
largely in real estate in Lake Geneva,
and expresses his intention of making
first-class improvements at that place
from the profits of mining interests.
We are not responsible for the correct
ness of the statements here given; they
are made on what appears to be good
authority, and every prudent man
will investigate for himself.

The New Orleans exposition, which
came to close short time since, did
not prove a financial success. Many
exhibits of year ago were wanting,
but in place of those there were large
accessions from the South American
states. One feature of the attraction,
however, was an exhibition of the
destruction of Pompeii, A. d. 70, in
fire works, and rendered life-like by
aid of the electric light. The exhibit

MosELEY's CABINET CREAMERY.


Believing that anything relating to
dairying, especially butter making, will
be of interest to our readers, we illustrate
this week popular dairy implement,
VIZ, Moseley's Cabinet Creamery.
While this portable creamery is adapt
ed to the use of dairymen who send
their cream to the factories, it is per-
haps more generally used by those who
make their butter at home for when
one has purchased an implement of this
kind he likes to have the entire benefit
himself coming as a result of its use.
1t is made in sizes for one to fifty COWS,
and is used in families, farm diaries,
hotels, restaurants and boarding schools.
The time has come when it pays to
make only good article of butter, for
anything of a lower grade comes directly
in competition with those products just
ly denominated bogus butter" such as
oleomargarine and butterine.
| The advantages OF cream-raising APP
paratus like that illustrated in this issue,
are many, and we will mention some of
them. First. All the cream can be OBJ
tanned, and at all seasons of the year
for, if the creamery is used in accord
ance with the directions, the conditions
are the same in July as in January
Second. The cream is of uniform quail
ty, thus making it possible to produce
uniformly good butter Third. The
labor connected with caring for the
cream and milk is greatly reduced, as
there is no skimming to be done, and the

The Inter Ocean says fifty firms en-
gagged in differe mt kinds of manufac
turtles, representing $1O,OOO,OOO in ma

for mutual protection against the ag-
gressions of labor. This may be
right, but it has not pleasant look,
If these firms respect the claims of Ia

from the movement. But where there

washing of the cans is slight compared
with the. labor of washing small pans.
As compared with common pals, such
as many farmers use, or with that class
of cream-raising apparatus in which it
is necessary to lift the cans from water
tank, the labor when. one uses Moseley's
Cabinet Creamery is very much less. 1t
is also great convenience to the user,
from the fact that milk can be drawn at
any time without disturbing the cream.
Its lower part answers as refrigerator.
Take it all and all, it is a very neat and
attractive article of dairy furniture.
Moseley's Cabinet Creamery has been
on the market since 1879. 1t has been
awarded more medals as first premiums
than any similar apparatus in America.
To it has been awarded the only first
premium ever given in this country to
any creamery as result of actual test,
in which the milk set, the ice used, and
the results obtained were all weighed
and noted by the committee making the
report. The award above referred to
was made. by the Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society in 1880, an account
of which can be found in the report of
that society for that year.
