THE ELECTION.

The municipal election i'll Kenosha on
Tuesday passed off very quietly. The OPP
Grafton of the Cooper law had no special
effect on the election as far as could be no.
ticed. The vote was rather light. The to-
tai vote at the last Presidential election was
1856. The fullest vote shown at this
election was 1880, the aggregate Of the
votes for the two candidates for Mayor.
The largest falling off occurred in the Third
ward where only 254 votes were polled out
of $50 voters registered. Such Indifference
in the people of that ward is very signii-
cant. 1t probably means that they don't
care who rules this city, how high taxes
are, or how the city's interests are man
aged All efforts to improve the city gov
pie disregard their duties. The non-voters
at this election as class are very cordially
reminded that it will be very poor taste for
them to kick at anything this city govern
ment may do. 1t will be in good taste for
them to keep quiet and accept the result of
the election without any grumbling at the
city officers Mr.. Kupfer is a business man
and will make good Mayor. If he en-
forces the laws, makes the saloons toe the
mark and represses crime he will not be
popular with the toughs and bummers Of
the city, but he will have the respect and
support of every man in the city whose
respect is worth having. The following is
the vote by wards:

One word in relation to a twelve room
school building-that is seven grade rooms,
Grammar, High School room, with neces-
sary recitation rooms. Every one knows
that | am one of those fools that advocate
that class of building because I think it is
just what is needed at this time, or will be
by the time we can have it erected. / am
not in favor of an eight room building be-
cause it must necessarily be a square box Of
building. thought SO last June and
still think SO. do not change my mind
with every wind that blows. find out
what is required to give the greatest good
to the greatest number and stop right there
and pay no attention to the chronic growler
or the wise men, &c. If did not fully
know and believe, after careful investiga-
ton, that twelve room school was needed
/ should not advocate the building of it. /
honestly believe that it will do more to lift
us up to grade than thirty.fve thousand
dollars expended in any other manner. /
mean twelve rooms with assembly room or
upper floor. There is a great deal written
and said about this room in upper floor.
What terribly dangerous place it is, &C.,
&C., and then only use it once year at
Commencement exercises. It has also been
customary for onrtaiu nnwcnanorS To danrv
or speak disparagingly of these assembly
halls, thereby betraying a woeful ignorance
of the scope and purpose of the work of our
schools in these days Every school that I
have visited (some twenty-five or more) has
the assembly hall Not only that, but
every new school house that has been built
in Milwaukee the past three or four years
has the assembly hall and four or FIVE class
rooms In fourth floor These assembly
halls are used more frequently than the av-
erage person would think. For instance:
for lectures, singing and other exercises
that are familiar to the educator of the day.
Now, let us build what is really needed,
twelve room building in the center of the
block where there is already a irst-class
sewer just finished few days ago-a build
ing that we will not be ashamed to show to
our friends from abroad or enemies at

AN IMPROVEMENT.

Frank Greene, formerly of Sturgis,
has leased the Lead City Tribune, and in
making the announcement of the change
in the management Mr.. Greene comes to
the front in the following manner, which
is evidence the paper will be conducted
in the future in an improved style. He
says:
The Tribune will be independent in
all the term implies. Two years of care
full observation in the Black Hills ought
to be enough to convince any sensible
person that the democratic party in this
section, il not i'm the state, is without
form, substance, sense or sagacity. 1t
is fungus, an excresence on the body
polite, might have been. The so
called Independent party is made up OF
democrats with an insatiate desire to
hold Office, and disgruntled republicans
who have not, nor can they give any
other than personal reason for boiling
their party. Any self-respecting editor
will soon tire of training with gang of
irresponsible freebooters, whose entire
stock in trade consists in condemning
and denouncing every man who is sue
cessful either in business or politics.
The republican party, as party, will
bear any amount of adverse criticism,
but until some other party gives evil
dence of being an improvement, thought
full men will see to it that its power is
perpetuated. Political principles i'm
ported direct from heaven, would cut a
sorry figure in practical life, if depend
emf upon such material as the independ-
ents have selected to carry them out.
The people of this or any other country
deserve to be imposed upon, and denom-
mated tax paying chumps and fools, so
long as they shoy Willingness to jump
ont of the frying pan into the fire.
These statements are not intended to i'm
ply that the Tribune will support the
republican ticket without qualification,
but are intended to emphasize the fact
that whatever influence it may have will
be used in behalf of the party that
promises the greatest good to the great
est number. Tt will take no part in
caucuses or conventions. Tt will urge
no nominations for any Office, by any
party. 1t will reserve the right to await
developments and decide after the evil
dence is in.

The Sioux Falls Press, commenting
on a recent speech made by one of the
independent nominees for congress, uses
the following vigorous language, which
viii receive the endorsement of all men
of common sense in the state: ssF. A.
Leavitt, one of the candidates for con-
gress on the Independent ticket, declared
in speech at Mitchell that he believed
that the English syndicate which bought
up the breweries in this country last
year, previously made corrupt deal
with the United States court, whereby
the original package decision was to be
rendered. The more of such blather
INDUCED in by cranks of the Leavitt
stamp the better for the country, be-
cause it will lead people to correctly es-
innate the absolute idiocy of at least
some of the men engaged in this inde-
pendent movement. Would not it be a
proud day for the commonwealth to see
such an ass representing it in the halls
of national legislation! If he believes
that the supreme court of the United
States has been tempered with, as he
says, he is fool. If he does not believe
it, but still makes such declarations, he
is knave''

SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.
The Plans Adopted for This Years Corn
Palace at Sioux City.

ddhU0 ~ 6lUu4 OlGys
The Sioux City way Of doing things
has become proverbial. When ii was
suggested by some OF the timid ones
that it would be useless to have Corn
Palace again this year, as the novel
ideas in this direction had been ex-
hausted, the people came forward and
placed an emphatic veto on such senti-
ment. They would have another palace,
and what was more, they would excel all
previous efforts in this direction.
Gould it be done? The question was
asked by many, and now it has been an
swered, and to the satisfaction OF all.
The plans for the Corn Palace for 1890,
prepared by Architect Brown, have been
completed and accepted by the Corn
Palace Association. A structure erected
in accordance with these plans will be a
marvel of beauty, and a pleasing sur
prise to even those who have gazed on
the wondrous handiwork formed from
the fruits OF nature at the festivals of
former years.
The date this year for the opening is
September 25th, and the festival will
continue until October 18th. The Pal
ace will cover an area OF 264 square feet,
which is twice as large as that OF last
year. The structure is of Arabic design,
and resembles in general outline pictures
of some of the famous Turkish mosques.
The center of the building closes in an
immense dome, from which rises a SUBJ
stantial tower that will cleave the air at
height of ITO feet. On each side of
this central tower viii be two smaller
ones located on the turrets, and heavy
festoons of grain will be hung from the
smaller ones to the central tower. These
towers will be above and on each side of
the entrance at Pierce and Sixth streets
and form an attractive feature OF the
building. Along the turrets on both
Pierce and Sixth streets numerous small
towers will rise, which will be highly
decorated. East of the alley on Sixth
and north of the ALLEY on Pierce blind
sides will be extended, thus charging
the frontage Of the building on both
streets to twice what it was last year.
The arrangement Of the interior is
whore the architect has given full sway
to his novel ideas. The main building,
which will be entered at the corner OF

]. G. BAIRD, one of the most prori-
nent citizens Of Wyoming, and for years
q leader among democrats, has formally
withdrawn from the democratic party.
The Cheyenne Tribune understands that
Mr.. Baird's reasons for this step are that
he is not in line with the democratic
party on the tariff question, and cannot
bring himself to endorse the action Of
the democrats in congress on the admis-
sion Of Wyoming and, perhaps, also can
not endorse the general western policy
Of that party. Mr.. Baird is, and always
has been, protectionist, and his action
proves that he is also believer in wy
oming and western development and
progress.
