CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.


The Whitewater Register offers some
cogent reasons why the candidate for
Congress should be taken from Wal
worth county. The Register comedies
that next to Walworth Kenosha coun.
ty comes in order for the candidate.
In respect to Racine county the Register
says: That county has not been bad
ly served in the twelve years given to
Judge Doolittle in the U. S. Senate"
That paper also says, in respect to Ra-
cine county, 1.-THE unfortunate break
of two years ago, when some Of the
friends of the disappointed candidate
endeavOred to defeat his successful
competitor establishes Il precedent
which certainly ought not to be fol-
lowed by party reward OYER such a
county as Walworth." Our readers
know who was the unsuccessful can
didate referred to, and who was the
regular candidate Racine tried to de-
feat by voting for a Democrat. 1t was
for this political crookedness that
aspirants at Madison last week for the
appointment of delegates to the Chi
cago National convention were defeat
ed. 1t was predicted, after the cleo
ton two years ago. that time of
reckoning would come when some of
these crooked men engaged in thai
movement would be rebuked as they
deserved.

A more than usual number of peop]
dying at extreme old age have been
noticed in the papers during the past
few months. This has raised the
question whether instances of great
longevity are becoming more frequent
than years ago. Such seems to be gen.
orally believed the fact. The reason
Is easily accounted for. The modes of
living and the sanitary laws are better
observed by all classes, rich and poor.
science has revealed the healthful
quality of different kinds of food, and
that which is hurtful is better under

But next and of still more import
ance to the health of the body ia the
health of the mind. There are laws
which govern the health of the mental
as well as the physical condition. The
rules for keeping the mind vigorous in
ola age are simple, and if obeyed men,

health OF the mind as of the BODY.

1t is deplorable condition of this
nation when it is compelled to allow
the seating of men in Congress who
have been chosen by the most shame
full fraud-by fraud not denied by
friends of the administration. It has
been shown by Senator Ingalls, that at
the recent election in Louisiana the
Democratic majorities reported by the
election boards were in many instances
much larger than the entire number of
votes registered. tits by these dishon-
est practices that the South sends men
to Congress who have not shadow of
claim to be recognized. But we are
told 1t does no good to agitate this
wrong; that it only angers the South
to keep it before the people, and post
pones the day for amical relations be.
tween the North and South. Besides
1t is said Congress has no power to in
terfere; that is Il matter that belongs
10 the states alone to regulate. Such
Is the kind of reasoning by which these
outrages are met.

The Prohibition club met, as per
program, at Mr.. C. G. Shepard's. There
was a pretty good number present.
Most of the evening was spent in con-
versation on the subject. "A decision
of our state Supreme Court was dis
cussed, and Mr.. N. Parks probably hit
the right one, that the fault was in max
ing it nuisance instead of a breachof
law. Mr.. Kellogg struck the nail
right on the head. He said public
opinion must be changed. That is
what the club was established for, and
should work to do SC all over the town.
Miss Nellie Kellogg read piece and
read it well. If the club would have
more reading of that kind=its would be
good and interesting. The next meet
ing will be on the last day of May, and
officers will be elected for the club year.

gradually raised the nations to a higher

its influence in communities and neigh
borhoods. Then he came to the lndi
viduals, and showed how it made better
men and women. All expressed them
selves pleased with the discourse His
manner of delivery was effective and
entertaining. ...ss.

Those who read the papers will
notice there are now and then damages
recovered against villages and cities
for defective sidewalks. In a city like
this, where there are no street lights,
and bad sidewalks, individuals are
constantly in danger of injury, and
the city liable for damages. Courts
in these later years are not lenient in
awarding damages for personal in
juries sustained on the man-trap side
walks--especially forty year old cities
cannot expect mercy from the courts
in damage claims of this kind. Young
towns just poisoning into cities might
have their sidewalk deficiencies ex-
cused.

not let that state have its choice be-
