CLEVELAND'S ACCEPTANCE.

SAE EbAND = k1OOLE 1 ANU.
Over three months ago Grover Cleve.
land was nominated for reelection.
His letter OF acceptance appeared in
the leading newspapers on Monday
last. Its great length Is labored at
tempt to justify his administration ;
the reason why he violated his promise
not to accept q second term he of
course does not attempt an explana.
tion, because it admits Of none. His
continuous violations OF the civil SER
vice. which he pledged himself to re
spect, he does rot see ct to discuss.
We know it is too common to speak
disparagingly of public men not OF our
political party, but feel justified in say
ing that Cleveland's letter is made up
of platitudes and commonplace ideas,
which have been repeatedly heard from
Democrats in Congress during the
present session.

SOMERS.

September came in with slight frost,
doing no damage, however.
The weather has been dry of late.
Pastures begin to show the effects.
! On the whole, the weather has been
suitable for the ripening of the corn crop.
Some of it is about ready to cut. and
some are cutting fodder corn.
Rev. Dougherty, on account of his
health, has resigned the pastorate Of the
Presbyterian church, Of which church
he has been pastor some seventeen
years. The necessity is regretted by his
church people and numerous friends,
but the state of his health and his age
compel it.
Rev. Reynolds, of Pleasant Prairie, ex-
changed pulpits with Rev. Tippet on

is said to be an unusual demand for
effective speakers. therefore many are
brushing up their school-day oratory
and offering their services for COM
pensation. hoping thereby to replenish
their almost empty pockets. II the
making Of campaign speeches could be
made a permanent occupation, the
country would soon be flooded with
those Of that calling. But as the de-
mand for campaign speakers occurs
only after long intervals, those relying
for employment in that direction
would become seedy during the unem-
ployed periods.
But while there appears much un-
necessary extravaganza not only in
Presidential campaigns, also in state
elections, there is much that can be
said in favor of these periodical agita-
tons. A good platform speaker of
whatever party. il he be intelligent.
honest and truthful. is an educator.
Men will differ as conscientiously on
political questions as in religious mat.
tiers. It is narrow.mindedness that
charges every man who differs with
you on political issues with dishonesty
or stupidity. The best of men are not
in accord on great variety of SUBJ
jects. It will bear repeating. that a
political speaker who deals in facts
without discoloring them is a govern
mental educator; this is kind of edu-
cation in which the great mass OF
American voters are defective. Were
it not so, there would be no need of the
expenditure of millions just before a
national election. If the question be
asked, will that period in our history
ever come when all lawful voters will
be independent, and need not be coun
seled how to vote? it may be answer
ed it Is too far off to be calculated.

RANDALL.

Ed. Hugunin; ESQ.,. was through
this section last week, canvassing for
a Kenosha paper.
There was a brakeman's picnic at
Twin Lakes last Sunday.
Willie Radeeg's team ran away and
threw him off the wagon. His ankles
were badly hurt and he was laid up
several days, but he is now able to
be about.
The campaign hat has made its ap-
pearance in these parts. We are not
noted for being known as a person of
much taste, but we believe we would
not swop ours for the taste of Cleveland
or Harrison.
The news out here as to probable
candidates never gets below the Office
of sheriff. No one wants any other
Office. it would appear. Perhaps this
is a good argument in favor of lower.
ing the compensation of the sheriff.

the unusually large Republican victory

AN INTERMINABLE QUESTION
OF DISCUSSION.

1t is over sixty years ago since Henry
Clay began the discussion of the tariff
question and its effects on American
Industries. The discussion has been
kept up ever since, at least with only
short intervals. at no time during all
past years has the tariff debate brought
into the field such an array of dis.
tinguished talent as in this year 1888.
The most able speakers have based
their arguments on the facts of his.
tory and official statistics kind of
evidence which in all fair debate is
received as the most conclusive. Yet
with all this accumulation of tariff
literature and facts, the public mind
does not appear any nearer an agree.
ment than years ago. New ideas and
new light may have been thrown on
the tariff problem, but these new de-.
velopments have as often been seized
upon on one side as the other. On most
great questions of difference conclu.
sions are arrived at by appealing to
facts of history and official statistics.
These have always been taken as good
evidence. but on the tariff discussion
opposite results are reached from the
same premises. This unsettles the
generally received evidence. Men are
met on the street every day who have
evidently given but little attention to
tariff and free trade, yet profess to
comprehend the theory of both, and
are ready to express their convictions
decidedly which is right and which
wrong. If it were possible by any
process of mathematics, or by the rules
of evidence in the courts, to determine
the advantages and disadvantages of
the two policies, tariff and free trade,
and thus have done with these dis
it would be a great saving of
lime and wordy debate. But there
seems no alternative than for the dis
cussion to 60 on indefinitely. The
reader need not be reminded that this
paper has always been committed to

In respect 70 the nomination of Cas-

"The Racine Journal claims for Rs.
cine county the honor of having named
the Congressman next term. This Is
just where it belongs and where the
account should be charged. If Ra-
cine chooses to name citizen of an
other county rather than one of her
own it is her own affair, but so far as
the district is concerned the credit or
debts belongs to Racine"

stood by many voters. To the question
who are the Prohibitionists that are
now antagonizing the Republican party
we reply: Certainly not all who are
the friends and advocates of prohibi.
tory statutes. Maine, Iowa and others
are prohibitory and Republican states.
1t is the Republican party in those
states which enacted prohibition and
now uphold it. Mr.. Blaine has often
expressed himself in favor of the
Maine liquor law. In a speech last
week at Pennington. in that state, he
said:
maine for the last thirty-seven
years has been under prohibitory law.
/ think the state has derived a great
advantage from it; / think the state is
far richer and far better. But we
have party now coming in and telling
US In effect that Maine had better not
pay any attention to prohibition until
We can organize a national party, and
we can suspend temperance in Maine
practically till we convert Texas and
Alabama"
This gives true view of the situa-
ton. The large majority of Republi:
cans in those states, through whose
efforts state prohibition has been adopt
ed. are satisfied with what has been ac-
complished. and IRE content to wait
until the people are prepared for a
more advanced movement. But the
extreme Prohibitionists will have
nothing short of national prohibition,
and hope to reach that end by antagon.
izing the Republican party. This is
an unwise method for securing such a
contamination as national prohibition.
There needs to be a vast amount of
educating before the thirty.eight states
and nine territories of this great
Union, or q majority of them, will be
prepared to accept this result. Great
reforms are generally attained by
much labor and persistent effort.

There is no death? The stars go down
To tise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer show

To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;

From out the viewless air.
There is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fail and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours

There is no DEATH An angel. form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread;

And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transported into bliss. they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyus tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life;
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it TO that world of light,
To dwell i'll Paradise;
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again:
With JOY we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near rs, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is llfe-there are no dead.
