Wash1ngton's Church, Alex
andria

Last week there was re-published
in the TELEGRAPH-CoURIER letter
written by Washington correspon-
dent several years ago for a news.
paper in this city. 1t described
what the correspondent saw on visit
ing the places mentioned associated
with the early life of Washington.
So much of a letter from the same
writer and printed in the same paper
as relates to Washington is given in
an article below:
Although Mt. Vernon, the home
of Washington, was eight miles dis
tant down the Potomac river from
Christ sschurch, Alexandria, yet as
evidence that he was a faithful
church goer, it is sufficient to say
that he generally made it a point to
attend church at Alexandria on Sun
days. He was for years a member
of the Vestry of the church, his pew
being No, 50 on the north aisle.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1889-04-25

of the Washington families On the
Sabbath | attended services in this
church; the pew was occupied by
two niddle-aged women plainly
dressed, both Of whom bore the
name of Washington. The church
has a gallery on three sides. There
are two tiers of small windows,
heavy sash, with glass of dlminutive
size. The east end is called the
front. although the tower is in the
rear, where also is the entrance. The
front of the church needs not the
drapery Of curtains, or the protection
of blinds; the ivy, that lover of old
churches and abbeys, thickly nantes
it, and excludes the rays of the sum-
mer sun. =
Whatever may have been the man.
ners and customs of worship in the
times of Washington, can only be in
ferred, but it can be said that now
the services in the church are as un-
ceremonious as in a Methodist con-
gregation. OF the many good acts
that are recorded of Washington, it
must not be forgotten to mention that
for his love to the people of Alexan-
dria, he bequeathed that city G1,ooc
for the benefit of a free school.

ONCE more we call attention to
the tooth national anniversary of the
Inauguration of Washington on
Tuesday next, the goth of April By
general understanding the COM
memoration of Washington's inaug-
uration will if possible, be made one
of the most notable events which has
for many years occurred in the
Union. Let every patriotic citizen
give the day or a portion of it, to
some observance of that historic pc
Rod. Let the teachers in the public
schools require of their pupils, espec-
tally the most advanced, furnish
some fact or facts relating to the
times of Washington. Let it be kept
before the minds of the young that
no man ever lived in all past ages,
of whom so much of praise could be
said as of Washington. There have
been thousands of men of whom
nothing but good could be said, but
none like Washington whose good
name is so world wide.

When the writer last visited the
church this pew remained the same
probably as when occupied by Wash
ington. All the other pews have
been changed; they were originally
square, with seats on three sides, as
was the style over fifty years ago. It
is plain, unexpected pew, without
extra finish; it has a plate on the
railing, on which is engraved the
name George Washington. The
building of Christ's church, it is stat
ed, was commenced in 1865 and
completed in 1878. The bricks of
which it is built were brought from
England; this is true of number of
other Episcopal churches in Virginia
in the valley of the Potomac. The
oldest tombstone seen in the church
yard is of date 1771.
Strangers attending services in
this church for the first time fire.
quently remain until after the con-
gregation has retired, and seem to
enjoy satisfaction in inspecting
Washington's pew and seating them
selves in it.
By vote of the church recorded
long since, this pew has been set
apart perpetually to the descendants

Wisconsin Legislature.

The Legislature practically closed
business on Tuesday last, but the
final adjournment was not pronounc
ed until Friday. The session lasted
1o1 days. The number of bills in
troduced in the Assembly during the
session was o44, in the Senate 40.
The legislature was a mixture of
qualities; what kind the most pre-
ponderated, it is not easy to say.
There were in that body men of good
sense and fair legislative ability.
There were others whose appropriate
sphere is evidently some other occu-
patton than law making. Our State
legislatures have always been sub,
ject to criticism; this ore by no means
the first. Among the most severe
reflections on the legislature noticed,
were those of the Madison CORES
pendent of the Sentinel The writer
for that paper, among other severe
things, said:
"The fact is notorious that there
are members who leave the assembly
chamber every day after roll-call and
never know what is going on or
what has been done and, to say that
they are merely lazy and ignorant, as
far as their legislative duties are
concerned, is but a statement Of
facts" Much more of the same sort
followed.
This is strong language to use in
speaking of legislative body, and
whether true or not, it might have
seemed to call for some modification,
had it not been for the lowering of
legislative dignity in making official
reply to the Sentinel. The members
of the legislature who felt wronged
by this severe commentary, at once
introduced and passed resolution
censuring the Sentinel newspaper for
its attack. It is something unusual
for legislatures to step aside from
their legitimate duties to reply by
resolution to newspaper criticisms.
It is lowering of dignity to leave
the order of business to notice ne VS.
paper assailants by resolutions. No
important legislation was transacted
at the session except the new cleo
ton law called the Australian s-ys-
tenn of voting, was mainly adopted.
A considerable number of laws
were enacted, which may be an i'm
provement, but nothing radical was
attempted. If, therefore, the legisla-
ture did not accomplish any great
amount of good, it made no enact
ments essentially bad One of our
leading exchanges says: "Timidity
in legislation is to be preferred to
aggressiveness. On some of the
questions which came before the
legislature, there was over-much
timidity, amounting to cowardice.
Advancement, progress and aggres-
sion move together. There were in
terests to which the legislature was
invited, to which therel was lack of
moral courage to meet.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1889-04-25

IT might be inferred from the tone
of some of our exchanges that bold
work was done by the legislature in
the line of temperance, The most
prominent measure mentioned is an
ct providing that the granting of
Nuor licenses may be submitted to
voters of the town at the spring
ection. This act confers no new
wer on the people; the majority
voters of every town have for
RS had the right to elect board

Comparative fhlue OF Iarl1 Lands,
Now that there is so much being print
ed about the steady depreciation of farm
values IN this State, IL may be vel, says
the Reading Times, to state that In thir-
teen counties Of Pennsylvania, where
manufactures arc erected, the average
value of farm land lie SS6.73 per acre. In
the remaining counties where there are
no manufacturing industries the average
value of farm lands is only $i2. 02 per
acre. In the statistics before us is pre-
sented the following additional informa-
ton touching this question In other
State. For example:
In the twelve manufacturing counties
of Ohio, farms have an average value of
S57.Ss; in such portions OF the State
where there are no manufacturing indus
tries the average value Of land is only
$40 46.
In OHIO, with only 40 per cent. of her
people engaged in agricultural pursuits,
farm lands are worth SAC per acre.
In Kentucky, with AZ per cent. of tha
population following farming, tine avera{
value Of land is only sI4 per acre.
In Pennsylvania, with "a per cent. en7
gagged In agriculture, farms average $50
per acre.
Virginia, with 81 per cent. engaged at
farming, the land Ia worth only $40.
The census of 1880 says farm lands In
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Kansas, with n
per cent. OF the people following sgricul-
tural pursuits, were worth only SILL per
acre.
