CITY CHURCHES LAST SUNDAY

Rev. Mr.. Halteman preached a
memorial sermon in the Baptist
church last Sunday morning On the
death of Rev. Henry Clark, who died
in this city few weeks ago. 1t was
one of the most talented discourses
which had been listened to for long
time. Rev. Mr.. Halteman is Secretary
of the State Baptist Missionary Society

1t was Children's day" last Sunday
in the Methodist church. and the exer-

Mr.. r. says if the price of wool Ia
rising the people who buy wooden
goods wont pay the increased price
out of their earnings. Mr.. R. would
have made point here had he proved
that the lowering Of the tariff had de-
creased the price Of wooden goods, but
as it has not, and WOODEN goods are
the same, therefore no one is benefited.
and the wool grower is injured.
would like to have Mr.. r. tell us
when and in what period of this ma
tons history free trade or 3 low tariff
has been a benefit to the whole people.
We hear great deal of talk about
robbing the working people and taxing
them beyond endurance. I think if
any one is trying to rob the working
man it is the free trader. He is and
always has been the working mans
enemy.
Free trade only benefits one class OF
men-large importers of those cheap
goods.
The reason so many mills are idle is
because the tariff is not high enough
Look at the amount of merchandise
that arrives in our ports every week
that tells the story why the wooler
mills in this country are idle, and no,
paying much if anything on the cap
ital invested.
Mr.. Rowland went to Marysville re
Gently, where we ship our wool. Tit
Superintendent of the wooden mil
there told Mr.. H. that he only knew
of two mills (theirs and one in Oregon
that have paid dividend on the Paci
fic coast and they have the advan
tage of the China cheap labor. A little
higher tariff on all articles that we car
produce would change all this, and
would not enhance the price through
home competition. JOHN SAUBER.

NEW RAILWAY STATION.

1t is stated that a side track will he
laid on the railroad between here and
Racine, five miles north of Kenosha.
The vicinity of that place has, during
the past two years, gone largely into
the growing of small fruits. Some OF
the finest strawberries, it is said. found
in the Chicago market are produced
here. The station will be in readiness
this month of June, and a depot com.
pleted by the first of August. This
will be an important acquisition to the
town of Somers. The name of the
station will be called Berryville, and a
post Office, it is expected, will be es.ab.
lished there in due time.

Home at Waupaca will be self-sustain-
ing. Legislative aid will be relied up
on, and 1t has the promise of aid from
the Grand Army Of the Republic.
A project to raise funds was started
nos long ago, by soliciting subscriptions,
none to exceed the sum of twenty-five
cents, and from that down to FIVE cents,
bringing the amount within the ability
of every school boy and girl to contri-
butte. The Post here proposed to raise
in this county sufficient to build cot
tage at Wappaca, to be known as the
/" Kenosha County Cottage" Persons
were appointed in every town in the
county to receive funds, and report to
F. II. Lyman, of this city, acting treas
urer, and the name of each subscriber
to be reported weekly in the city news
papers.
Such in brief is an outline of the en-
terprise for the benefit of destitute
Union soldiers. Subscriptions came
] in encouragingly for a few weeks
but recently they have almost entirely
suspended, after having reached hardly
one hundred dollars. This is a poor
commentary ON the patriotism of Re
nosha county. The school children
could have raised the amount by thu
contribution of the smaller sums hai
they been encouraged. Will the citiz
ems of Kenosha county be content tt

any other object than that for which
they were solicited. What shall b.

Cleveland and Thurman are now be-
fore the people for the highest Offices
in the gift of the people. Their past
political record is public property, sub

one deems proper to make. We hold
it the privilege of the press to criticise
where it is deserved, or praise where
it is merited. No unfairness will he
INDUCED in in respect to these candi-
dates; the truth may be severe enough,
without resort TO fiction. Statements
unsupported by fact, rejecting on the
candidates, will not contribute to their
defeat, but rather prove reactive and
work to their advantage. This paper
has never been satisfied with the gen.
eral administration of Cleveland, al.
though there have been acts of his
which deserve approval. There are
those who are so intensely partisan
that argument, however logical and
based on fact, can make no impression.
1t is urdeniable that a large proportion
of voters are not open to conviction
their minds are made up, and they will
vote the party ticket, let be said what
may.

A CORRECTION ASKED FOR.

We have received letter from
Henry J. Brande, dated at Little
Meadows, Pa, saying the statement
published in the TELEGRAPH in re.
spect to the case of Richard Whitley
of Pleasant Prairie, does great injustice
to the Whiteley family. Mr.. Brande
having resided in the neighborhood of
the Whitley family, says the story of
the bad treatment of Richard is not
true. Mr.. Brande is a respectable
gentleman, and we give those interest
ed the benefit of his statement: As
was said in what was publishe d, the
authority relied upon was a state
officer who had made an official visit
to the home of the alleged ill.treated
Richard.

Mr.. Henry G. Payne will present a
bill in the next legislature of this state
to restore the true Indian names to a
number of towns recently settled in
the northern part of this state, which
have assumed Indian names that are
incorrect. lie gives the correct Indian
name of one of the new northern
towns, Kenozha, the English of it
meaning pickereI. This has been
understood to be the meaning of our
Indian name Kenosha. Both of these
spellngs doubtless intend to convey
the same meaning, but there are reas-
ons for believing that Kenosha is the
better translation from the Indian.

The accuracy of these figures Is war
ranted by their compilers. Carroll d.
Wright is responsible for those of
the U. S.; w. Frisbie, lately u. S.
Consul. for those of France; ex-Consul
Du Bots for those of Germany. These
figures prove an average of double
wages to American ever European
operatives.
Now, Mr.. R., explain how the
American manufacturer can sell
abroad in competition with the Eu.
ropean manufacturer, unless you re-
duce the wages to the same standard.
Tell those that you try so hard to en-
tighten to the free trade side.
Mr.. r. / do know that it was Re.
publican Senate that endorsed and a
Republican President that signed the
reduction bill in 1888; but what of
that? | care not whether Republican
or Democrat, Jew or Gentle, christian
or in6del, the result is the same, 1t
has crippled the American sheep in
dustry, and to serious extent, and
none feel it more than men that have
all invested in sheep and cannot get
out of it except at great loss. and this
is especially true of California. 1t is
not, as Mr.. R. says, the reason that the
sheep were reduced in California was
because the sheep men turned their
land to something that would pay
larger profits.
The California sheep men cannot
convert their lands to anything but
grazing. 1t is hilly, rocky land, and
cannot be cultivated; therefore, if
sheep raising does not pay, then sheep
men must substitute some other kind
of stock. But how can they dispose of
from 1000 to 10000 sheep at once with
out loss? Can Mr.. r. tell?
1t is a very easy matter for Wis
consin farmer, with fifty or one hun
dred sheep, to convert them into few
COWS. He can do that and will not
suffer any loss.
The California sheep men have also
tried those large mutton sheep, but find
that they are not the kind o. sheep for
these billy, rocky lands; the smaller
sheep are much better.
No, Mr.. R., the California sheep
men are not a set of drones in the
human hive; they are energetic, and
have tried all kinds of sheep, and they
understand very well what is needed
to make their business pay. You will
find them very busy set during the
next campaign.
Mr.. R. says he told in a former arti.
Gle how the American wool growers
would be benefited by putting wool on
the free list. He said in that article,
by letting wool come in duty free, that
the manufacturer would have to use
more homegrown wool, and therefore
the home wool-grower would be bene-
fited. Here Mr.. r. is trying two theo-
ries; one is, to benefit the wool-grower
by letting wool come in free, and in
another. place he wants wool to be
cheap. 30 that all can buy wooden goods.
One of these theories is a mistake.
l claim both are very grave mistakes. |
You cannot benefit either the one class
or the other by free trade.
Up to 1883 the California sheen
herder received from $40 to $35 per
month and board; since 1888 wages |
have gone to $50 and e25 per month. |
and clothing is the same. Were not
those men better able before the re-
dncti0n of 1883 to buy more wooden
goods !? Put wool on the free list, and
these men must look for some other
work.

then why not abolish the sugar duty,

HELP FOR UNION SOLDIERS.

An institution for destitute Union
soldiers and their wives, called the
Wisconsin Veterans Home, was es.
tablished at Waupaca. in this state, in
pursuance of the authority of the legis-
lature in October, 1887. The citizens
of Waupaca donated for this beneyo.
lent enterprise eighty acres of land,
and the legislature made an appropris.
ton of $4,000 for the institution. The
purpose is to erect cottages, consisting
of two rooms each, costing $3.50. These
cottages are designed for destitute
Union soldiers and their wives. This
home for destitute soldiers has no con-
necsion with the Soldiers Home near
Milwaukee; that Home does not con-
template the admission Of soldiers

superior and yet inferior to man; her

EDITOR TELEGRAPH.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH.
In your paper of April 13, Mr..
Roberts, in answer to my article on
the wool tariff, says that the price of
wool has steadily declined under the
tariff of 1897, and little further on
he says, Take off this heavy war tax
to enable the working people to buy
more WOODEN goods" etc, etc. Now, if
the tariff of 1857 had the effect of re.
ducing the price of wool, why does Mr..
R. want wool put on the free list? All
the sheep men ask is to restore the tar
iff OF 1867 on wool, and they are will
ing to abide by the results. We know,
MIR. r., that there is natural law of
supply and demand for all products,
and all classes of producers and manu-.
facturers must be governed by that
law. Restore the tariff of 1867, and in
few years this country will produce
all the wool we need, without going
abroad to buy, and at prices that will
enable every man to buy wooden goods.
There is no war tax on any article.
That is only false alarm to catch
those that do not keep posted on the
affairs of their country, and there are
too many of that kind. I had talk
with man few days ago ON this very
subject, and he said he would like to
see coffee and tea on the free list. He
did not know that they were on the
free list, and this man claims to be an
intelligent man, and so you will find
thousands of them, and especially on
the Democratic side.
Further on Mr.. r. again says: eff
the American manufacturer could buy
wool as cheap as the European manu-
facturer, then the American manufac.
turer could make cloth as cheap, and
sell it abroad in competition with the
European manufacturer. Mr.. r. for
got one very important item when he
wrote the above-wages.
