WISCONSIN FEMALE WRITER'S

WISCONSIN FEMALE WRITER'S
Much has been said the past few
weeks about Wisconsin female writers
and poets. While it is alledged that
Wisconsin has more than a proportion
ate number of such writers, we have
been waiting to see published list
It is an honorable distinction to be &C
corded good writer of prose or poetry,
1t would be a high compliment to the
literary tastes of the women of Wis
consin if the fact were disclosed that
there are great number of creditable
writers in the state. Whatever may
be the present number who are public
ly known as such, there ought to be
more than twice as many. There is no
good reason why women should not
write quite as much for the press or in
other ways for general reading as men.
In this day of free education for all,
women should not be so ready to plead
intellectual weakness or inability to
write for publication. It is q mistaken
modesty that makes women less ready
than men to express their sentiments
on matters pertaining to the public
warfare. That women are capable as
men, in the production of works in
prose and in poetry, there are abundant
evidences in this country and in
Europe.

II. A. Cooper, one of the candidates
for nomination at the late Congression-
al Convention, but failed to receive it,
was nominated for the State Senate
from Racine county on Wednesday,
last week. Mr.. Cooper, it is said, de-
clines the nomination for State Senator.
1t this be true, we think he makes a
mistake. He is young man, and
probably has not abandoned the expec-
tation of ultimately reaching seat in
Congress. He has twice offered him.
self candidate for that high position,
and his time will be almost sure to
come, after little longer patient wait
ing. 1t was objected to him by some
that he had never yet had any expert
ence in the legislature of his own state !;
familiarity with legislative usages
helps to fit a man for Congress, and
such advantage might be helpful to
Mr.. Cooper. He is said to possess rare
ratOrical powers, and the exercise Of
these talents in the Senate chamber of
the state capital would not fail to give
him additional prestige when the Con-
gressional Convention for this District
occurs in 1888.
Since the above was written, it is
stated that Mr.. Cooper, after due de-
liberation, has concluded to accept the
nomination of State Senator. This is
wise decision, and we trust the dis.
satisfied Republicans on the lake shore
will now heartily unite to give both
Caswell and Cooper solid vote.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

AS the announcement of candidates
for offices to be voted for at the ensu-
ing election appears to be in order, the
friends of Mr.. M. A. Baker ask the
mention Of his name in the TELEGRAPH
for the office of District Attorney.
One candidate for this Office has al
ready been mentioned in this paper, but
the field is still open for other names.
Mr.. Baker has been resident of this
city for many years, and, so far as we
know, has the reputation of fair law
yer, good citizen and an advocate for
the faithful execution Of the law. That
is the class of officers needed in WE'LL
ordered community.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The story is again revived that the
Chicago, Evanston and Lake Superior
Railroad Company are DESTROYS to ex.
tend their line through Kenosha and
Racine to Milwaukee. If this be true,
the business men of this city would do
well to encourage the enterprise by
rendering assistance in procuring the
right Of way, if nothing more.

WAUKEGAN FAIR.

The fair which closed in our neigh
boring city of Waukegan on Saturday
last is reported as having been the
best which has been held in Lake
county. A correspondent of the Jour.
nal says:
"Cne of the features of the closing
day has long been the grand cavalcade
of premium horses and cattle on the
track. Saturday morning the annual
cavalcade, headed by the band, was
half mile long, and embraced about
sixty head of the finest cattle in the
county and seventy head of fine horses
1t was witnessed by an immense Gro wd
and was thing Of beauty to lovers OF
fine stock"

CONFESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

There are rumors of dissatisfied Re-
publicans who threaten to oppose the:
election Of the Republican candidate
for Congress from this district. IF
there be opposition to Mr.. Caswell ii
must be causeless; at least we have.
not heard the first objection to his cleo
ton which is entitled to serious consid-
GRAFTON. Delegates who did not favor
his nomination declare that no con-
vention was ever more fairly conducted.
Any Republican in good standing who
objects to Mr.. Caswell's nomination
does so at the expense of political repu-
tation. A fairly conducted convention
of delegates is presumed to reflect the
voice of the people. The convention
was composed of 80 delegates, on the
basis of 500 Republican voters for each
delegate. On the first ballot Caswell
received 10 votes, and continued the
same through thirty-three ballotings,
until the final ballot, when he received
~ votes. Thus it will be seen that on
the basis of representation Of 500 for
each delegate, Mr.. Caswell was. the
choice of $500 Republicans d Mr.
Cooper, the next highest candidate, re-
ceiyed the votes of II delegates, which
On the basis above was the choice of,
$500 Republicans. IT will be seen
from this that Mr.. Caswell was the.
choice of 1000 more Republicans. in the
district than Mr.. Cooper. If the will

which prevails with some that none!

The western part of the district will
labor as earnestly for harbor or other
improvements as lake shore member,
because he knows he is not the repre-
sentative of any particular section sof

reputation if he neglects any important
interest which legitimately devolyes

form believe that the liquor traffic
should be regulated by reasonable and
liberal license laws" We ask for in
formation, what it means by +" liberal
license laws?" Does it mean " liberal"
for the people or for the whisky-vend-
ers? The wording appears very vague,
and might be construed either way.
They also regard the enactment Of
sumptuary or prohibitory laws, wheth-
er general or local, designed exclusive
ly for the arbitrary regulation of the
personal habits of citizen" We sup.
posed the Democracy were in favor of
popular government by a majority vote
of the people, but it seems that they
would prohibit the people from decid-
ing whether they would adopt local
option or not. We, as Republicans,
are willing the people should decide
that question by their vote, and agree
10 ABIDE the decision.
Arbitrary regulation of the habits
of citizen" If a citizen" is drunk
and noisy in the streets, the law makes
it theNduty of an officer to arrest such
citizen" and the duty of q magistrate
to punish him by fine or Imprisonment,
or both. Is it any more" arbitrary" to
place the means of getting drunk be-
yond the reach Of such citizen" than
to Interfere with the personal habits
of citizen?' If the personal habits
OF citizen" are obnoxious to the pub
lie, they must be regulated" and the
law recognizes the right to do it. It
may be the personal habit of citiz.
en-" to help himself to his neighbours
property, or to disturb the public peace,
but to interfere" would be arbitrary"
The entire resolution is evidently a
bid for support of the liquor men, and
1t requires no depth of penetration to
interpret it. The liquor men naturally
look to the Democratic party for SYM
pathy, and look not in vain.
In contrast with that resolution,
compare the declaration of the Repub-
lican platform. which cannot be mis-.
understood. 1t expresses confidence
in existing license laws, and the right
of the people to regulate the amount
of license, or to refuse to grant any IL
cense, which is practically local option.
1t also intimates its desire to adopt the
most efficient means for the suppress
sion of the evils of the traffic, and its
willingness to legislate on the subject
as fast as public opinion will sustain
it, and no apology is offered for the
arbitrary regulation of the personal
habits of citizen"
We confidently believe the time is
speedily approaching when public opin-
lon will sustain pIohibitory law, and
when that time arrives we as conf
IDENTIFY believe the Republican party
will stand ready to grapple the bull by
the horns and wrestle with him-will be
ready to pass a stringent law and en-
force it; but till that time arrives they
will be content to cripple the traffic by
high license, and laws as stringent as
the case will admit.
1t is evident, also. in another resolu-
ton, that the Democrats, as party. |
are jealous OF The lanrels gained by !

R. F. ROBERTS A CANDIDATE.

AT the suggestion Of citizens a short
time ago, Mr.. r. F. Roberts, of Bris-
t0l, was mentioned in the TELEGRAPH
as well qualified candidate for Mem
Der of Assembly from this county!
We are desired to repeat the name of
Mr.. Roberts as a candidate, and to
say what we know of him from long
acquaintance. Enough could be said
Of Mr.. Roberts in connection with the
many enterprises of public interest i'm
which he has taken an active part
since our long acquaintance with him
to make small book. Mr.. Roberts
having been long a resident of this
county, 1t is proper to speak of,.Mllat
he has done, and let his qualification
for the Office he asks for be judged by
what he has accomplished. Only a
few of his public acts can at this time
be noticed. At the last session of the
legislature scheme was started for
the establishment Of an Agricultural
College, for which an appropriation of
$780, 900 was asked from the state for
beginning. 1t was believed to have
been an unwise project, as no such in
stitution was needed. There is already
a department Of agriculture in, the
State University at Madison, which
affords facilities for students desiring
to study agricultural science. Hon.
w. FL. Morrison, Superintendent of the
Farmers Institutes for the state of
Wisconsin, knowing Mr.. Roberts to
be opposed to the proposed college, in,
vited him to discuss the question pub
licly at Union Grove and Elkhorn with
Hon. Fl. C. Adams, of Madison, who
introduced and advocated the bill in
the legislature. Mr.. Roberts accepted
the invitation. The paper he read on
the subject at Elkhorn was published
approvingly in the Milwaukee Sentinel,
and copied from that journal in various
newspapers in the state. Mr.. Roberts
labored sue cessfully in opposition to
the lobby at Madison interested in the
passage of the agricultural college bill !;
he also discussed the question at the
meeting of the state agricultural soci-
ETY. at its meeting during the session
of the legislature. It was the opinion
Of many judicious men that the defeat
Of the agricultural college scheme was
great saving to the taxpayers, with
out any adequate benefit. The appro-
priation of 100000 is simply the OPEN
ing wedge to larger appropriations that
will require hundreds of thousandsi6f
dollars, and while farmers pay SO per
cent of the taxes they would receive
but moiety of the benefit of these
appropriations. The foregoing is q
sample of many public interests in
which Mr.. Roberts has given evidence
of his ability. More equally in point
can be given il desired.
