TEMPERANCE INDEBTED TO
THE WOMEN FOR PROGRESS.

Those who believe the temperance
reform is making no progress, but only
engaged in the same doubtful warfare
against the use of intoxicating liquors,
do not judge rightly. While there has
been apparent retrogression in many
towns and cities, there has, upon the
whole, been advancement. So there
will continue to be until the evil is
finally suppressed. The conquering
of the worst enemy of humanity may
take a generation or more yet, but the
final triumph is only a question of
time. The Woman's Temperance
Christian Union has achieved the
latest victory, and the women of the
country will never tire until the pro.
ducing cause of crime and human
suffering is exterminated. It is to the
women the cause of temperance has
more to hope for in the future than
the men. The women are not devoted
to political party triumphs, to the
neglect of great moral interests, as the
men are; the women more naturally
sympathise with the sufferings of
humanity caused by Intoxicating
drinks, and are more readily moved to
action to alleviate the distressed,

the expense is useless, as the cribs are

That this protection has been DELAYED
too long none can deny. Who is re-

is, all Of as. The value of the ground
submerged added to the expense al

But the ground is gone, and the ex-

How, or IN what proportion, TIE bur-

THREE ADVENTUROUS YOUNG
ROGUES.

The stealing of Mr.. j. III. Kimball's
yacht, Mamie, was briefly mentioned
in the TELEGRAPH last week, since
which some particulars have been re-
ceived that may be of interest ia
those of our readers who have not OBJ
tanned them from other sources. On
Tuesday night. the 9Th inst, three
young men, James Maloney, Curtis
Reed and John Mcintyre, seized the
yacht Mamie lying in the harbor in
this city. All three of the young men
are reported to be expert sailors.
Their intention, it appears, was to run
the yacht through the straits to the
lower lakes, with the view of selling
the craft for what they could get. The
yacht is substantially built, estimated
at ten tons burden. Soon after the
young men left Ken0sha harbor a
severe gale sprung up. raising a heavy
sea, and the captors were obliged to
run their stolen prize into White Lake,
on the west shore of Lake Michigan.
The telegraph wires notified the au-
thorities at White Lake, as well as at
other points on the Michigan shore, of
the stealing of the yacht, and the run.
Always soon found themselves in the
hands of a trio of officers, the Custom
House officer, City Marshal and Deputy
Sheriff. From White Lake the prison.
ers were taken to Muskegon, the county
seat. In the meantime Mr.. Kimball
had been made acquainted with the
recovery of his property, and the arrest
OF the young men. He proceeded to
White Lake, taking the officers of the
yacht with him to bring it back to Ke.
nosha. Deputy Sheriff Shotliff, of this
county, went to Muskegan, to bring
the prisoners here, and found them
willing to return with him without a
reQuisition from the Governor OF
Michigan. Sheriff Wilson met Deputy
Shotliff at Milwaukee, and the prison.
ers were brought here on Sunday and
safely lodged in Jail. They were taken
to Milwaukee Thursday afternoon by
the Deputy United States Marshal
and will be arraigned in the United
States Court.

CHICAGO. June

CHICAGO, June 3, 1886.
There continues to be an improving
demand for wool, and there is more in
terest shown by manufacturers. The
receipts here are yet light, but are now
increasing. Manufacturers, as might be
expected, are very conservative in their
ideas, and beyond their current needs of
supplies many will likely wait more
positive developments in the woelen
goods market before anticipating their
wants very freely. Wool and wooden
goods have lately improved abroad, and
the course of values at the next auction
sale of foreign wool, to begin in London,
June 10th, will doubtless have its in
huence on our markets. From our
present advices from our own wool rails
ing sections it is evident that our new
clip will not be offered very freely at low
prices.
The past week has shown consider.
able inquiry for quarter-blood and coarse
woods. Medium and low combing un-
washed woods have been in good demand
and salable at quotations, which we are
now able to give more definitely. Medi-
UNI mwashed clothing woods have also
been more called for and have sold at
quotations. We have enquiry from
Western Mills for Xxx unwashed, best
Montana, Wisconsin, etc.
The outlook favors an improving and
steady demand for wool for some
months to come. We have advices from
several manufacturers who have hereto
fore been holding back in their pur-
chases of wool, indicating that they will
soon be obliged to buy more freely.

THE NEWSPAPER AN EDUCA-
TOR FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

Thurlow Weed, one of the most dis
tiRguished newspaper men in this
country during his time, has said much
about the newspaper as an educator.
Not all newspapers are educators in
tellectually, politically or morally. A
writer for literary journal, who was
one of Thurlow Weeds familiar
friends, voices the sentiments Of the
great journalist in respect to the news
paper as an educator:
cit is a better school of education
than any college, and surer place to
learn all there is in the world. Had
daughter for whom / was to choose
a profession, would place her in a
newspaper Office, provided she had
sufficient brains to take a position in
one, in preference to any of the profess
sions. She would develop higher
order of intellect, become more self
sustaining in opinion, and at the same
time be under better influence of
control than in any employment that
is offered to women. It has always
seemed to me the most elevating of the
professions, and, too, where the most
good can be done, il one has the vel.
fare of their fellow-creatures in their
minds or on their cOnsciences."

IS RETALIATION HONORABLEp


Since the troubles Of our fishing
vessels in the Canadian waters, of
which so much of late has been said in
the public press, various methods for
the repression of the alleged wrong
have been proposed. Some of the
more belligerent of our people at once
talk OF war as a justifable measure for
settling the dispute with Canada. Two
men have controversy about their
respective rights; they are too impa-
tient to have their differences adjust
ed in the courts, but resolve to fight
with whatsoever weapons they can
most conveniently lay their hands up
on. Arbitraments for the settlement
of national disputes are in civilized
countries as available as courts for
individuals. There is an inherent
pugnacity in multitudes of people.
When they meet with any supposed
insult, their first impulse is to fight.
But the most unreasonable proposal
in the present case is retaliation. If
the Canadians seize vessel OF ours,
we must seize one Of theirs, and 80
keep doing and get even. This would
be silly game for two sensible men
to play, much more so for two civilized
and christianized nations. Our diff
culties with Canada can be settled in
legitimate way. Neither England
nor the United States are unreasonable
governments, and the much present
talk about war and retaliation is sheer
nonsense.

THE SAME OLD FEUD.

The disturbances in the north of Ire
land the past few weeks have been un
usually violent. 1t had been hoped
that time and wiser counsels would
allay the old hostilities growing out of
religious differences, but it appears
the same old feud between Catholics
and Professionals. which arrayed the
people into hostile parties many years
ago, has lost none of it's violence.
The matters of differences in ireland
are not simply questions of public
policy, but of conscience. How these
differences are to be reconciled is a
problem not easily solved. The best
minds in Great Britain and the United
States have been considering it. In
the meantime home-rule for Ireland
has been defeated for the present, but
the whole subject is being reopened
again with more vigor than ever.
Gladstone has been baffled, and SUSTAIN
cd temporary defeat: but a great and
perhaps final battle is yet to come at
no distant day.

HOW STATES ARE MADE.

The curious process of evolution by
which States in the American Union
are made is aptly illustrated in the
case OF Dakota. 1t was originally a
part of the territory claimed by France.
and styled New France, :ncludinr
what is now Canada, the entire North
west, and all the territory west of the
Mississippi river, throughout its sn.
TIRE extent, from the frozen North to
the Gulf of Mexico As consequences
OF the European wars from 1853 to
1903. and the defeat of France. that
part of New France now known as
Canada was ceded to Great Britain.
and all west of the Mississippi was
ceoed TO Spain. In 1900, during the
Nap0leOnlc wars, and as a result of
the French victories EVERYWHERE on
the Continent of Europe. all of the
territory that had been ceded to Snain
was receded to France. In 1903. during
the administration of Jefferson, the

became the owner of the territory
At the time when the purchase of tbe

which had previously claimed the en-.
tire western slope and coast to the
north line of Mexico, now the north
line of California. Congress divided
the territory into Orleans and Louisi.
ana in 1904. In 1912 Orleans was ad-
mltted into the Union as the State of
Louisiana, and the name of Louisiana
Territory was changed to Missouri
Territory. In 1921 the State of Mis-
souri, was admitted to the Union as the
State of louisiana, and the name of
Louisiana was changed to Missouri
Territory, and Arkansas followed.
After that time the almost boundIess
tract remaining was loosely styled the
Northwest Territory. In 1894 all east
OF the Missouri river was organized in
to the Territory of Michigan. In 1886
the present State of Michigan came in.
to the Union, leaving the balance of
the country as Wisconsin Territory, OF
Ouiskonsan," as it was then called.
In 1S46 and 1S48 Iowa and Wisconsin
were made. into States, and then the
balance of the outlying acres were call
ed Minnesota Territory. In 1858 Min
nesota, with its present limits, came in
to the Union, and the balance of the
tract was in law nameless, but was call
ed Minnesota Territory to distinguish it
from the state of the same name. In
1891 the Territory of Dakota, with its
present boundaries, was established by
act of Congress. Such is the long
progress by which, through the occu.
patton OF the country for settlement,
by pushing the frontiers farther away
into the mountains and the wilderness,
and by the progress of civilization,
American States are made. 1t is a
system Of evolution and growth pos
sessing great interest for the student
of politics and history.

CONCERT.

The concert of the Kenosha Apollo
Club on Tuesday evening was the
most successful musical entertainment
in this city for many years, and per-
haps never before equalled for the
amount of home talent engaged. The
audience in attendance was large; no
church, hall, or other building in the
city except the rink could have accom-.
modated the gathering. The musical
selections for the evening were in good
taste, and mostly of a high order.
There evidently had been much care
full preparation for the entertainment.
1t is no doubt the voice of those who
were present on Tuesday evening that
the Apollo Club should favor our
citizens with another concert at no
distant day. 1t has been demon
strated the city has the requisite tai
emf, and it ought not to remain unem-
ployed. There is no entertainment
more rational than a. good concert;
compared with it, all the parlor amuse-
ments and games sink into insignifi-
canoe.
