THE DEAD EMPEROR.

The death of the Emperor William
of Germany is already old news. for in
every civilized country on the globe
penetrated by steam conveyance or
electricity every town and hamlet has
heard the sad intelligence. 1t is not
extravagant to say that the departure
of the Emperor from the ranks of this
living, on the morning of the 9th of
March, inst, was one of the great loss
es the world has sustained for long
time past, aid is so felt by Kingdoms
and empires. There is mourning in
the palaces of princes. and the noise of
banqueting is hushed. The Emperor
of Germany was truly christian ruler.
1t is only short time ago he uttered
sentiments that gladdened millions, de.
claring the calamities of war must be
averted in Europe. A great war, such
rs has been threatened, rendered liable
the flower of the population, especially
the young men, to be marshaled on the
field of battle, there to bemown down
with musketry and grape. No wonder
such declarations of peace brought JOY
to 80 many thousands.
The eldest son of the dead Emperor
under the title of Frederick Ill, sue
ceeds his father. He is said to be 8
favorite with the people.

SLIGHTLY POLITICAL.

Although it is nearly eight months
before the next Congressional election,
politics in respect to county and Con-
gresstonal candidates will occasionally
be manifest. While other Congression-
al districts have agitated the question
of candidates, this district until quite
recently has been very reticent on that
subject. 1t is reported, whether
authoritatively or not, that our present
representati Mr.. Caswell, will de-
cline being candidate for another
term. Those who hold to the principle
of rotation in Office, if principle it be,
will insist on his retiring 1t must be
admitted by impartial men that this
state has never been represented in the
House by more faithful, hardwork'
ing and influential member than l.. B
Caswell. Such would be the opinion
of the members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, who have personally known
of his action and standing in Congress
during the six terms, including the
present, which he has served in that
body. AS has before been said in the
TELEGRAPH, If there is to be any cast
ing about for gubernatorial candi
date, other than the present incum-
bent, no man better fitted for that
office can be found than L. B. Caswell.
His nearly twelve years experience in
the national legislature would give
him a superior advantage over mos
If not all others likely to be selected ir
the state. The only name thus fal
suggested in this district to take the
place of Mr.. Caswell il E. D. Coe

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

Christians, so.called, fall behind the
Turks in temperance work. The Koran
OF Mah0met forbids the use of intoXi.
cants. In Constantinople, a Turkish
city, people who call themselves chris
tlans have opened liquor saloons. and
the Turkish authorities are making
war ON them, removing all that are not
over $50 feet from a Turkish place of
worship.
The societies of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union appear to take
the lead in temperance work in the
states generally.
Only three countries in Europe re.
port progress in the diminution of the
drinking habits of the people. These
are Russia, Sweden and England.

CITY ELECTION.

1t is bad policy to put off properly
constituted convention, such as reflects
the will of the people, and at the last
hour a few men get together without
authority, and hastily patch up ticket
for city officers, and the voters asked
to support it. 1t may sometimes sue
coed, but it more often proves an en-
tire failure.
Since the above was put in type IA Cal
for ward caucuses and city conven
ton has been received, to which at
tention is invited. Every. voter inter
o. I'd in the welfare of the city should
attend the ward caucuses. The char
acter of this city at home and abroad
is involved in the kind of men selected
to manage its affairs. A choice OF
men of character and business reputa
ton will inspire public confidence her,
and elsewhere.

brance incidents in the early history Of
the church. Some Of the early pastors
and prominent members were fittingly
noticed. The first pastor Of the Bap-
fist church here was Rev Jason La
throp, familiarly known as Elder L..
throp. Had the history of this man
ever been written it would have been
a volume of rare interest. A gentle
man making a call at his study room
in this town in 1910 wrote OF him as

after this Elder Lothrop came and
soon began preaching, teaching school,
surveying and making himself useful
in various avocations. He had much
mechanical talent and could do some
thing at many kinds of trades. He
was book-binder, and did much work
in the line of binding the consecutive
of magazines and periodicals

WOOL GROWERS IN COUNCIL.
DISCUSSIONS CONTINUED FROM OUR Re
PORT OF LAST WEEK.
PROFITS OF SHEEP HUsBANDRy

l ". Z
A. D. Cornwall, who is widely known
as q successful fockmaster, and whose
thrift is represented in part by two large
and valuable farms in Salem, gave some
OF his experiences and views. He had
kept sheep a great many years, and he
owed all his success in life, whatever
that might be, to keeping sheep. Al
this time there is no profit in wool
growing on our high-priced lands. In
Texas the climate is different; feeding
in winter is seldom necessary, and NUT.
ton and wool can be produced at a
small cost. Wisconsin cannot compete
with that state, and consequently the
farmers must seek to grow something
that will afford them q profit. He did
not believe in levying tariff tax which
had to be paid by every man, woman
and child in order to make wool-prow-
ing profitable on the high-priced lands
OF such states as Ohio and Wisconsin
He estimated the cost of winterinp sheen
70 be 81 per head and summering 81 per
bead. A small ration of grain is neces-
sary to winter them in good condition
and to winter them poorly would ALWAYS
result in loss. His sheep averaged
seven and one-half pounds of washed
wool per head, worth now 26 cents per
pound, making the wool product $I.95
per head. A flock of 200 sheep. one.
half breeding ewes. will produce, with
good care, seventy-five lambs, worth 80
per head. At the price now paid for
labor, it requires the product Of 200
sheep to pay the wages and board Of 4
hired man for year. If a farmer
could get for his own labor now as much
as he pays his help he thought he would
be pretty well of. In keeping sheen
the adaptability of the land must be
considered. Level land with q black
soil and clay subsoil is not adapted to
sheep; it held the water too long after 3
rain. As that is the character of the
land in the eastern part of both Kenosha
and Racine counties, he would advise
no man to keep sheep there. If part
OF the farm were gravelly and rolling, it
would do, as the sheep would find the
hard, dry knobs to retire on. His farm
is of that kind, and, although he had
driven his sheep over the same roads to
the washing place preceded by flocks of
foot-rot sheep from the level black lands.
his sheep had never been troubled with
that disease. He made it q point to
keep his flock young; never sold any
lambs; contrived to have his surplus
sheep become fat on grass and to sell
them early in the fall. II he could get
$3.50 or 8 for Wethers, it did not nav
him to keep them and fattec them on
grain in the winter. He wanted to de-
vote all his attention to his breeding
sheep.

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

1t is noticed that quite number OF
Republican clubs have recently been
organized in different cities in the
state, young men in many instances
taking the lead, as they have in this
city. This is commendable, not alone
as party measure, but for better
acquaintance with our national legis.
lation and the country's needs. The
question now before the people of the
several states. which of all others Of a
political character is important, is the
tariff. This seems at first view to be
simple question and easy of solution,
yet it is the most singularly complex
which has ever come before the people.
AS far back as the times of Henry
Clay tariff and free trade were the
subjects of discussion in Congress, and
they have been open matters of debate
ever since. In most If not all other
matters of national policy statistical
facts have been relied upon to settle
conflicting views. but, strange as it
may be, different conclusions have
been drawn from the same state of
facts in the discussion of the tariff. 1t
would be we'll if associations were
formed in central locations, in the
country, calling them Republican
clubs, or by some less partisan name,
to discuss and consider the great issues
before the country, involving, as they
do, the financial interests of the Gov
eminent. These important issues must
be met by the people. of whom every
citizen forms component part. Every
