Made them Boys Again.

BALTIMORE, May 22.-There was q
great gathering yesterday at Nacirema, the
country seat of Gen. Felix Agnus, pub
Usher of the American, the occasion being
reception rendered by Gen. Agnus and
the Journalist club of Baltimore, to Vice
President Frank B. Thompson, of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The New York
Press club, the Gridiron club, OF Washing
ton, and the Clover club, of Philadelphia,
we're represented, and Secretaries Blaine,
Tracy, Noble and Rusk came over from
Washington to take part. There were al
together about 500 persons present, who
spent the afternoon in an enjoyable
through informal manner. Tables were
spread on the portico and lawn, where a
substantial repast was thoroughly enjoyed.
After dinner short addresses were made
by Secretary Blaine, Mr.. Thompson, Gov.
Jackson, Mayor Latrobe, Joseph Howard,
William Bum OF the Clover club, Fred
Powers of the Gridiron club and others.
In his speech Secretary Blaine said the
people of the country might be satisfied
that they had for their president a man
who was above all things just man, and
who would give the country non-parti-
san administration. Mr.. Blaine's poor
physical appearance was much commented
upon.
The great hero Of the day was Secretary
Rusk, who was easily persuaded at the
station to mount the leader of team of
horses attached to common hay cart,
and with a common whip in hand drive
about fifty bowling journalists to Nacire-
ma, distance of two miles. The, secre-
tary also, after solicitation, drove them
back when the dinner was over, and had
his picture taken seated on the horse.

LONDON, May 2l,-The British steamer
German Emperor ran into the British
steamer Beresford yesterday morning
while the latter was at anchor on Good
win sands.
The German Emperor sank instantly
and boats were lowered from the Beres.
ford and rescued three persons from the
German Emperor. The Beresiord's bows
We're stove in and she disappeared in the
fog. For a. little while her fate was un-
known. But it is now learned that she
proceeded to Grnvesend. Nine persons
on board the German Emperor took the
small boat and Ian led at Dover
Nevertheless it is thought that thirty
perished. The survivors who reached

loss was not as great as at first reported.

A pitiable Case.

DENVER, May 22.-John S. Dornlcr,
editor of the Central City Register C all ,
and well known throughout the west,
disappeared on Friday last and, although
his absence has been reported to the DO
lice and to many persons who know him
well, no trace has been learned of his
whereabouts. For several weeks Dormer's
mind has been unbalanced and he has
indicated alterations in more ways than
one. His latest impression was that he
should go to Europe to secure help for his
ailment. He left his place of residence
on Friday morning and was last seen by a
gentleman near the Albany hotel. To
him he said that he would leave fo,
Europe in the afternoon.
AS he had no money, his European trir

Special "Trustn Powers,

CHICAGO, May 23.-The attorney gen.
eral OF Illinois some time ago filed an in
formation to know by what right the gas
trust exists, claiming it had exceeded its
corporate limits. Judge Baker has deliv-
cred an opinion denying the application
to dissolve the corporation, deciding that
the trust had a right under the special
powers conferred by the legislature to buy
and sell and control the stock OF the com
panies it had embraced, and therefore its
action was legal.

has made the following appointments:
John W. Meldrum, Laramie, Wyo.
secretary OF Wyoming james G.. Lunkey
Oregon, agent for the Warm Spring In.
dians, Oregon
To he Indian Agent9-James Elythe, OF

Henry W. Dean has been appointed
postmaster at Viola, Cal.
Charles DENLY, United States minister
to China, advises the secretary OF state, OF
date April 3, of the appointment of Thue
kwo Yin as minister to the United States
vice Chan Yam Hoon.
ARMY MATTERS.
The contest over the vacancy that will
be created in the army next week by the
retirement of Adjt Gen. Drum, on ac-
count Of age, is waxing hot and forms the
main topic OF officers gossip at present.
1t is generally conceded that the chances
for the adjutant generalship lie between
Coils, kelton and Whipple. The former
10 ou 'titN liNlt 40 illDL aooiStuill
general, and the latter is at Governors
island. Although Col. keltOn is the
younger man, he outranks Col Whipple,
and is at present at the head OF the list of
assistant adjutant generals, and the usual
course in the army promotion would bring
him to the fore, especially in view
OF the fact of his extended
experience of late at the head Of
the corps in the absence OF Gen. Drum.
But there is precedent in somewhat
similar case which led to the selection
Gen. Baird as the head OF the inspectors
corps over Gen. Jones, who outranked
him, although he was younger. On the
other hand, there is the case of Gen.
Casey and Gen. Parke in the contest for
the position of chief of engineers. Casey
was the younger man, but outranked
Parke, owing to the change he made
from the typographical engineers to the
engineer corps, and he received the ap-
pointment. Tie retirement OF Gen. Drum
will cause the promotion Of Lieut.. Col.
Ruggles to be colonel, and Major II. c.
Corbin to be lieutenant colonel, leaving a
vacancy in the list of assistant adjutants
general, with the rank OF major, for which
there is bitter strife among large num-
Der of captains.

IF the County Boards of other
counties in Wisconsin have as much
difficulty settling the subject of Sher-
ifs salaries as the Board of this
county has it would pay the State to
have law passed regulating the sal
airy of the Sheriff, as the salaries of
other officials are. A better adjust
ment of the salaries of the county
officers in this county is needed If
it is true that thirty-fve hundred
dollars per annum is too much for
the services of the Sheriff, it should
be placed at some fixed sum, and the
county board relieved of the onus Of
dickering with the sheriff for the
price of his services. The sheriff
salary might be reduced to eighteen
hundred, and a couple of hundred
added to the salaries of county
judge, county clerk and county
superintendent Of schools. This
would be more like justice.

Gov. Hoard's Message.

|
The first message Of Governor
Hoard was delivered before both
Houses in joint session on Thursday
last. Without expanding unnecessa-
ny encomiums on the message, it is
sufficient to say, it is a sensible docu-
ment and will satisfy a sensible peo-
pie. It embraces many important
subjects proper for legislative con
sideration, and omits some which by
many people, are held important, and
which have been made mention Of by
Governors Of other States. These
are not material, as those deemed Of
consequence by the people will read
lily find their way to the attention of
the legislature.
The message gives summary
view Of the condition of the different
State departments, and furnishes the
reader an intelligent idea of the bus
mess of each. It is recommended
that the absenteeism Of children
from school, which now prevails,
should be corrected, and that the
proper school officers should insist
that reading and writing in English
should be taught in the public
schools. Our laws require that all
proceedings in the courts, all convey
ances and legal business of all kinds
shall be transacted in the English
language. 1t is understood that in
some schools in the State German is
taught in these branches instead of
English. The Governor dwells on
the fraudulent authorizations of but
ter, cheese and other articles of fam
lily use. The Waupaca Home for
soldiers, for which an effort has been
made in this county to aid, is recon-
mended to further State encourage
ment. Many other State matters of
equal interest as those here men
toned are noticed in the message.
It is an interesting fact that the only
State tax we now have is for educa-
tional purposes, and that tax is re-
turned back to the counties accord
ing to the school population. Dur
ing the past ten years the revenues
of the State have bees doubled.
Governor Hoard has been called the
Farmers" Governor, and the inter-
ests of those most important indus
tries of the State will be we'll cared
for by our Governor.

THE legislatures of Ohio, Illinois and
Wisconsin are engaged to greater or
lesser degree upon the subject Of rail
road passenger rates 1t is proposed to
reduce the legal rate from three cents to
two cents mile Cheaper railroad
fares would be very popular with the
people and there is good reason to be-
lieve that if railroads were run accord
ing to law and it was not necessary to
pay dividends on SO much watered stock
that they could render just as efficient
service at two cents per mile as they do
now at three. By statistics it is shown
that the average receipt per mile last
year in Illinois was 2.37 cents. In
another place it is stated that the aver
age for passengers carried wholly within
that State was 2.1l cents. Competition
did that, and the companies paid many
thousands of dollars out for commissions
to brokers, cuts to scalpers, etc. The
people are willing to pay reasonable
interest above expenses on bona fde in
vestment, but do object TO furnishing
dividends on fictitious value.

Present and Future.

The readers Of the TELEGRAPH
COURIER will have noticed the paper
has undergone some changes in the
character Of the selected reading matter
from that Of some weeks ago, which, it
is believed, will better conduce to the
interest of the paper. It is common
remark that newspaper editors are ex
pected to please every variety Of taste as
far as possible, without saying anything
particularly offensive to any class The
general rule to please every one is a
mistaken Que; there is in every com
munity sense OF good taste, also a lack
Of sense of good taste Al men and
women are not equally well educated:
their conditions in life have not all been
advantageous for the enjoyment Of the
best society This class Of persons are
apt to be pleased with much that is
really Objectionable. The newspaper
publisher whose aim is to please all
classes, mistakes his true mission He
fails to raise the standard of intelli-
gence and morality and his contribu-
tions of light and proftless reading to
amuse overbalances and nullifes all the
good editorials. A newspaper conduc-
tor Of this class may be likcned to
man who would be accounted highly re-
spectacle were it not that he keeps OBJ
jectionable company. The articles he
selects for publication in his paper in
dictate his taste and the kind Of COM
pany he prefers to keep. The state
ment cannot be too often repeated that
the newspaper press of the present day
is largely the educator Of the people. 1t
shapes national destiny: it is an i'm
mense power for good or evil A ire
mendous responsibility rests on the
press, and if it were united for the over
throw of prevalent wrongs, such as can
be controlled by an enlightened public
sentiment and reached by wise legisla-
ton, grand results for improving the
condition Of humanity would be ac-
complished.
The consolidated TELEGRAPH COUR-
TER has now been before the people sew
eral weeks, ard it is hoped has met the
approval Of the subscribers to a reason
able extent. The paper does not claim
perfection in the line Of journalism; it
doubtless has faults, and whenever they
become manifest they will receive atten-
ton and correction if practicable While
it does not claim to be what is demon
ated religious paper, it does aim to
print nothing that will be offensive in
any christian family

The advocates of woman suffrage in

The advocates of woman suffrage in
Harvard College feel much elated at
the result of debate given at the Har-
ward Union. The alternatives were
from the freshman class; the opponents
were senior and a member Of the law
school Many Of the best men Of the
college were present. The first vote
was on the merits of the question. 1t
was taken before the debate, and stood
% in favor and % against suffrage for
women. After the debate, a vote was
taken upon the merits Of the debate, as
presented by the leaders, in which 81
were given for suffrage and 80 for the
opposition The debate was then
thrown open to the house. Eight mem
bers spoke for it and five against it.
One said he had come there opposed,
but had been convinced by the afirma-
tive side. The final vote was taken up
on the merits of the debate as whole,
and stood 81 to 10 in favor Of giving
women the ballot.

THE troubles in Racine College have
been unfortunate for that institution
and embarrassing to those having con-
nection with it. Its complications are
not easy Of adjustment, as appears from
the financial situation which has been
given to the public by Col. j. G.. Nc
Mynn, for years an early educator in
Kenosha, afterwards teacher in Ra-
cine, and now a resident Of Madison,
where he is connected with State edu-
cational interests. Probably no man in
The State is better known as an educa-
tor than Col. McMyen. When his
opinions are sought for as to the want
Of success of any Of our institutions of
learning, he is free to give them. As
for Racine College, he was resident of
Racine when that institution was estab-
lished and is familiar with it's history.
He writes long letter, published in
the Racine Journal, stating what have
oeen the essential needs of the College
from its first opening for the reception
Of students. Its chief want has been
sufficient means to equip it with In
structors of high order. The students
who entered the College, in many In
stances; did not remain to graduate, but
left to go to other colleges, which were
equipped with higher advantages He
also saws the College is too CLOSELY iden
titled with the church: broader
sphere is needed in this age: the policy
in the appointment Of professors. be
says, is wrong. What the College
needs is an endowment of half a mil
lion dollars, and this the wealth of the
denomination can furnish, to place the
institution on footing with other
prominent colleges. The friends of the
College will not allow it to depreciate,
but see that its wants are supplied.
