The party, mostly young ladies, who
went from this city to Twin Lakes on
Tuesday of last week, are reported as
having had highly enjoyable time.
Boating and fishing were among the
amusements. On Sunday they went
to the Rockford encampment, where
were gathered a company of some
forty persons. Religious services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Smith, of Rock
ford. On Sunday evening the Rock
ford campers, reciprocated by visiting
the KenOsha camp, where an agreeable
song service was held. There were an
unusual number of good singers in the
camps. The moonlight evenings were
enlivened by the music of many voices
in song, waited over the mirrored
bosom of the lakes. Camping parties
are yearly growing more popular, and
are rational method of vacations,
short or long.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

We have omitted to notice a new
temperance movement, waiting to see
the character, standing and extent of
it's endorsement. 1t now app ears that
the movement has not been started by
few adventures, but by men we'll
known to the country for sound jndg-
ment in matters pertaining to the best
welfare of the people. Without at
this time stating the extent to which
the movement has already reached, a
few of the reasons for it are as follows:
The debasing tendency of the liquor
influence in politics is too apparent,
the Republican party should reject all
overtures for open, implied or secret
alliances with the liquor saloons, OF in
other words, entirely cut loose from
the liquor interest. That in nominal
ing candidates for Office, it is debasing
to select men, for the reason, they can
conciliate the vote of the liquor deal
ers. In view of the extraordinary
measurers resorted to by the trafficers
in intoxicating liquors, to evade and
defeat all laws for the suppression of
the demoralizing business in which
they are engaged, the time has come
when the people should understand
whether liquor is to be the ruling
power in this country.
The friends of this movement will
hold national conference in Chicago
at no distant time forward. We are
glad to see agitation ON the subject of
the liquor traffic continued, and trust
it will not be permitted to slumber, un-
til the liquor power is obliged to yield
submissively to law.

school education, and that will be
sufficient capital, to start him on the
way to success in life This senti-
ment is no longer accepted as covering
the whole ground of education; it is
found that something more is impera-
lively needed. Young men are almost
everywhere found, who have a good
school book education, bat who are
almost as helpless as infants, in finding
useful employment for their hands. 1t
is not claimed that it is practicable for
all the country schools to add industri-
al education to their present course of
studies. The way is not yet made
clear, what is the best method for
reaching all the schools.

NATIONAL TEACHERS CON-

The national convention OF teachers
held last week at Topeka, Kansas, was
the largest and most interesting body
OF instructors ever convened west of
the Mississippi river. There were
fully 5000 teachers present. Every
southern states with two exceptions
was represented, and the New Eng
land states were represented by many
of the most distinguished educators.
About 200 were present from Wiscon-
sin. There being no hall large enough
to accommodate the number in attend
ance, eight of the largest balls in the
city were secured. in all of which
meetings were in progress at the same
hour. Many subjects of Importance
0 public schools were discussed. but
that of chief interest at this time was
industrial education. Never before in
teachers conventions was this branch
of education so earnestly met and thor
oughly discussed, as in the Topeka
convention. A number of the fore
most educators gave decided express
sion, in favor of industrial education
in all the public schools. The stand
taken on this subject by influential
men, is sign of progress in the right
direction. Some sleepy teachers have
charged us with making the subject of
industrial education in public schools
a hobby. 1t required no uncommon
sagacity to perceive that school book

CANADA PACIFIC RAILROAD.

CANADA PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The building of a railroad from the
British possessions in Canada, on Lake
Superior, through the wilds of the
great Northwest, to the Pacific Ocean,
was projected and work begun years
later than our Northern Pacific road.
Yet this stupendouE enterprise has
quite recently been accomplished, and
trains have already been run through.
The distance from Lake Superior to
the Pacific Ocean is about 1000 miles.
1t had generally been believed that the
country through which this road pass
es was a cold, inhospitable region; now
it is reported the country is exceeding
ly fertile, but as yet mostly unsettled.
Town sites have beeen selected at vari-
GUS points on the road. The Canadi-
ans it is said, intend to have the fast
est line of steamers on the ocean, and
the time of passage from Liverpool to
Vancouver will be made in nine days.
1t is probable the swarms of immi-
grants from northern Europe may pre-.
fer to choose homes on the Canada Pa
cific in preference to coming further

with as pleasant surroundings as those
referred to further north. All that is
wanting to render some of these lakes
popular resorts, is suitable buildings
with modern accommodations, and
grounds properly improved with walks
and drives. Some enterprising man or
company, will before long make i'm
provments at some one of the lakes in
the western part of this county, which
will draw hundreds of visitors and
health-seekers from the crowded cities.

NEW MILITARY POST,

The President has transmitted to

JURY PERPLEXITIES.

Probably a majority of intelligent
citizens believe that our jury system

Discussion With Open Doors.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Morgan gave notice that he
would call up the Hawaiian treaty to-
morrow.
Senator Van Wyck offered a resolution
that it be considered with open doors.
Mr.. Hoar, without obIecting to present
consideration OF the resolution, expressed
his disapproval of the general principal
of considering either treaties or nomlna-
LiOns in open session.

the course OF procedure in the Senate on
this subject. IL appeared that when any
one of certain halt-dOzen Senator'S

opened, but this privilege was rig
idly denied 10 all other Sena-

COLLECTORS CONFIRMED.
Papers Which Give Out Going Oficials
Clear Titles of Honesty.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Eighteen Col
lectors OF Internal Revenue in seven diff
terent States were confirmed by the Sem
ate on March %, but announcement has
been held back on a motion to reconsider,
which was withdrawn to-day. Only one
was in the South, W. II. Marlborough, in
the Fourth North Carolina District.
The injunction of secrecy was also re-
moved from the reports OF the Committee
on Finance IN the cases of which the fol-
lowing is copy: "The Committee on FL
nance have had under consideration the
nomination of Mr.. -- to be Collector of
Internal Revenue for the district of -
In place OF -, suspended, and so far as
Lney nave been able to obtain information
they find that Mr.. - fit and proper
person to discharge the duties OF the
ONCE, and that there are no charges or
papers on file rejecting upon the charac-
ter OF -, suspended, as will appear
from the following letter from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury" (Tbe letter has
already been publshed.)
A resolution as follows was unani-
mously adopted by the Committee on FL
nance April 6, 1886, in relation to this and
all letters similar to the foregoing:
Resolge9, That the letter of the Secretary of
dated March 10, 1885, or subsequently, rela-
tive to the suspension of the Collectors of To-
ternal Revenue should be received and held
as an honest declaration made in good faith
that there are no charges or papers on file in
the department rejecting in any manner
against their moral or official conduct or
character, and on this statement of facts, and
the fact that there Is no fixed term attached
to the office of Collector of Internal Revenue,
the committee recommend the confirmation
OF Mr.. -.
This ends the list OF Internal Revenue
Collectors who are understood to have
been reported to the Senate, and the above
report is made in regard to the majority
of them. There is understood to be a va
riation in its form in respect to cases
where the suspended officials were eX-
soldiers, and some incidental and incOn-
elusive debate over Ohio cases of this
character took place to-day. A few of the
collectors who had been reported from the
Finance Committee prior to the receipt of
Mr.. Manning's letter were to-day recon-
mitted in order that the outgoing men
might receive clean bills and be started
anew in life, abreast of the others.

The Bridge CompaDy's Lack of Hands
the Principal Obstacle to Traffic At
st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, April 14.-The great draw
back to the various railroad companies in
fully resuming traffic is the inability of
the st. Louis Bridge Company and Belt
Line to afford sufficient transferring facl-
tiles across the bridge and river and from
the levee TO the various yards. The Bridge
Company employed a few more new men
yesterday and few more this morn
ing, but cannot do all the business re-
quired Of 10. The Belt Line and Bridge
Company require 16 switchmen on each
side Of the river to do the necessary work,
and the number Of men now employed is
inadequate. The officials say that this
state of affairs is not because the men do
not desire to return to work but because
they are afraid to do so for fear of the
consequences after the militia shall be
ordered away. The business OF the diff
ferent roads yesterday exceeded that OF

Case OF the Erring Young Georgian.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-To-day in the
Criminal Court the case OF Eugene Nor
gan, charged with housebreaking in the
day, in removing the effects of the night
lodging-house May 10 last, was called. A
plea of guilty was entered and a suspen-
sion of sentence asked. Morgan had
been one OF the inmates of the lodging
house and when it was closed last season
disappeared. Some time afterwards the
robbery was discovered, Morgan was
traced to San AntOnia, Tex, and brought
back here. An appeal was made in his
behalf by letters from Senator COlquitt
and Representative Norwood, showing
the high standing of the prisoners family
in Georgia. Statements were made that
he could not have taken the goods
unaided. 1t was also stated that full
restitution mad been made by friends OF
the young man, and that his parents were
willing to receive him back. John Il.
Mitchell, of the lodging house, read the
action of the directors of the lodging
house recommending clemency. The
court, after some wholesome advice TO
the prisoner, suspended sentence, and
released him on his personal recOg-
nizance.

bill. The report will say the proposed
treaty is not reciprocal in any sense Of the
word. That it is a mere agreement for a
bargain and sale in which the United
States gets the worst of the bargain. and
does not approach the dignity OF a treaty.
To become commercial ally Mexico
must change many of her Mexican habits.
