bision; it secured the Prohibitory law
for that state which the late Republi-
can state convention in Iowa declared
in its platform to be the best In any
state in the Union. Wisconsin has no
such prohibitory law, therefore the
situations in the two states are unlike.
1t now appears that the extreme Pro
hibitionists of Iowa are not satisfied
with state prohibition. but will stop
nothing short of national prohibition.
This the writer referred to justly GEN.
sures as calculated to weaken the
Republican party Of Iowa. In the Re-
publican platform adopted at the Iowa
state convention August 20. 1883, oc-
ours the following:
eve congratulate the people of our
state on temperance legislation inaug-
urated in the Eighteenth General As.
sembly, and on the faithful obedience
of all subsequent general assemblies to
the expressed will Of a majority OF the
people. which has given to Iowa the
best prohibitory law in the United
States. To the credit of the Republican
party for its unselfish and non partisan
respect for the will of the people, no
backward step in Iowa has been taken
and none will be taken on this question,
so vital to the moral welfare OF all our
communities"

The present year has been a year of
unusual farm productiyeness. We re-
greet not having taken notes Of the
yields of oats. barley, and other crops
which have been heard reported. Mr..
G. ID. Holt. of Pleasant Prairie, har.
vested on so acres 3.400 bushels of
oats averaging 6S bushels per acre.
George White, of Pleasant Prairie'
harvested go bushels of wheat of good
quality on one and half acre, an aver
age Of 40 bushels per acre. This is do
ing well for district of country which
was supposed to have lost its produc-
tiveness for wheat growing many
years ago. Some farmers believe that
Kenosha county may again become as
reliable for wheat crops as thirty-five
years ago, but it is not probable it will
be raised rs product for marketing.
for the reason it will be difficult to
compete with the immense wheat-pro-
ducing regions of the great northwest,
where this kind of farming is conduct
ed on large scale.

EVOLUTION.

A lecture on the theory of evolution
will be given in the Unitarian church
this evening, Friday. Aug. 81. by Myron
E. Baker. This is subject that has
occupied much discussion, but is still
understood but specifically by the
great majority of educated people.
Mr.. Baker is young man given to
much study, land while he may not
make clear to all minds the theory of
evolution, he doubtless will be able. as
the result of much study, to say much
on the subject worth hearing. Besides
this, Mr.. Baker is young student
striving to obtain classical education,
under adverse pecuniary disadvantages.
Such young men, with a little aid,
often far exceed in reaching the. de-
sired end those who have advantages
of wealth. Admission, % cents.

blunder OF Mr.. Cleveland to espouse

triumphantly into power. But he now
finds he has given the Democratic
party a great deal Of trouble: that
party is far from being unanimous on
the question Of free trade, and there
forethe prefers to have the discussion
in Congress discontinued. The tariff
debate can now best be arrested by
bringing to the front our differences
with England on the fishery question,
out of which some easily scared people
think there may come war. Grover
Cleveland will lind he has hard road

A FARMER GOVERNOR.

There has come to pass what we
have fer years contended should take
place, in view of the fact that the
farmers in this state were in the ma.
jority. and therefore had a right to
their proper weight in the government
of the state. Never in this state nor
in any other has there been a nominal
ton more distinctly representing the
farmers of the state as that OF Hoard.
The example Of the selection of Hoard
comes nearer than any before to that
in Roman history. when deputation
from the imperial city waited upon
Cincinnatus, found him blowing in his
field, and surprised him with the in.
formation that he had been chosen by
the Senate of Rome to take the reins
of the government. Cincinnatus had
never held Office, and had nothing to
recommend him more than honesty,
integrity and good judgment. He
obeyed the call of his country, left his
plow, and as the deputation led him
away. he said to his wife, my dear
Attila, / fear our little fields must 60
uncultivated this year." Perhaps it
will be said that to cite Hoard as a
parallel in this case Is far-fetched; but
in this office.hunting. oftice.begging age,
but few. if any better illustrations
can be found than the taking of Hoard,
farm dairyman, who had never sought
Office, and never mixed in political cir.
cles. nor shaped his life with any ex-
pectancy Of official favor. We repeat
that in these times, when those who
are the most expert in political man
agement are the onss who in most
cases win, the choosing of a man
from the ranks Of private life to fl
the highest Office in the gift of the PEG
pie of the state is a rare occurrence.
and easily reminds of the taking of the
Roman Cincinnatus from his plow and
placing him at the head of a great PEG.
pie. ....

CLEVELAND-HIS ACCEPTANCE
AND PROMISES. r.

Months have passed since the nomin-
alton of Cleveland for q second term,
but up to the present time he has sent
no letter of acceptance. The conjec.
lures for withholding his acceptance
are various. He has one embarrass-
ment to meet which he can by no
strategy escape. In his letter of &C.
ceptance four years ago he committed
himself to the One-term policy. aud
gave the people plainly to understand
that, if elected. he would not accept q
second term. That he intends to put
in his acceptance before the November
election no one doubts; but the curious
inquiry is, what sort of an apology can
he make for the forfeiture of his word ?
His recent special message transmitted
to the United States Senate takes his
party friends by surprise. Does he de-
sire to be the Presidential hero of q
war with Engiandf 1t can hardly be
this, but more probable that he wishes
to divert the attention of the country
from the exciting questions now be-
fore Congress. particularly the tariff.
His free-trade message to Congress at
the opening of the session last Decem-
Der has proved troublesome matter
in the party. In some portions of the
country where there happens to be a
free-trade element it has given great
satisfaction, but this approval has been
overbalanced and repudiated by the in.
dustrial classes. Mechanics and labor
ing men cannot be persuaded that
their condition could be improved by

of many years growth, kept indoors in

air in summer. These were on the
front side OF his house, aud made as
fine a floral display as could be found
elsewhere in the city. Among the
most choice of this collection was an
orange tree that had been grown from
a seed planted over twenty years ago;
it had 1een nurtured with great care,
and became a beautiful tree, with
rounded top some five feet high; had
blossomed and bore few oranges the
present year. This tree the vandals,
one night last week, destroyed by
breaking off all the limbs and other

1t may be satisfactory to those in
the different towns in the county who
send us weekly local news to be told
that their contributions of neighbor-
hood matters are appreciated by the
readers of this paper. These items of
news from the various localities are
doubtless much more highly priced by
our readers than the writers of them
suppose. During years of experience
with local news contributors there has
been no period when the writers who
have furnished news items for the
paper have expressed what they had
to say in better language or taste than
the persons who in months past have
SAINT the news items from the country
towns. This is the judgment of read
ers. A few more such in towns where
we have no correspondents would be
acceptable.
