Late Hon. c. L. SholeS.

The death Of Hon. c. L. Sholes, one
of the editors, and the founder of this
paper, was noticed in the TELEGRAPH
COURIER last week. Time before the
paper went to press, did not allow,
| saying much that should have been
said. in view of the fact he established
the first newspaper here. which still
continues, and in shoit time will
be announced the Oldest paper in the
the state which has been published
uninterruptedly half century.
Such at least will be the claim of
seniority Of this paper, if no evidence
appears to the contrary. Mr.. Sholes
resided here many years and was
among the best known citizens in
this county, and probably as we'll
known in the state as any man. He
was a member of the Territorial leg
islaturc from here before this county
was set off from Racine County, and
subsequently from Kenosha County.
He was an influential legislator and
took a leading part in legislative
proceedings, being always placed on
important committees; he was a
ready debater and a good campaign
speaker. His style was not deClam-
atory and oratorical, but more of the
familiar, conversational kind. He
was in much demand prior to gener-
al and county elections, and had the
faculty of saying sharp things in
such clean way that those of his
audience differing from him were
kept good natured. 1t is superAuous
to recount the good qualities of Mr.
Sholes; it may be safely said he was
scarcely wanting in any virtues
which make a good citizen.
Mr.. Sholes died leaving six sons
and four daughters. Two of the
daughters are married and all the
sons, we believe, but one married
All were present at his funeral, on
which occasion Rev. Mr.. Ellsworth,
of Plymouth church, Milwaukee,
gave an impressive discourse. The
six sons performed the office of pail
bearers of their dead father, an ap-
propriate and impressive scene.
They performed the same duty at
the funeral of their mother two
years ago.

the reform relied largely on appeals
to those addicted to strong drink to
abandon its use; but the evil was not
stayed, it moved steadily on and con-
tinues to this day despite the most
eloquent appeals from the pulpit, the
press and the lecture platform.
There have always been multitudes
and probably will be for long years
to come, who will not listen to ap-
peals to reason. For that class the
law comes to the aid of right. and
without that law there would be no
protection The counsel of would
be wise men, to rely less on legal res
traints, on more and moral suasion
will of course please such as are en-
gagged in the traffic; that kind of adj
vice would be acceptable to every
class of wrong doors.

A Wrathy Republican Veteran
Who ReSentS the War on
Secretary Timme.
years ago

The following letter is taken from
The Daily Journal of Milwaukee last
Saturday and receives our hearty en-
dorsement:
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
In The Journal of Monday; Feb. II,
which calls attention to the fact that
they are going for Secretary Timme
again, we find mess of scurrilous abuse
taken from a Rhinelander paper, styled
The New North. Considered in a
national sense, that paper is rightly
named, for such an article would never
be written by true American citizen
of the cold north, preserved to us by
the boys in blue and cemented by their
blood. Capt. Timme himself gave his
share of life's blood to accomplish that
end, and to-day carries an honorable
badge in the shape Of an empty sleeve.
In fact, think that a man or paper
must be hard up to use such style Of
campaigning to secure a nomination for
friend, who, in this case, is gentle
man spoken of as candidate for Mr.
Timme's place. The editor of the Neu
North evidently cannot see that his un
bridled zeal, which prompts him tc
term M. Timme professional German
and professional soldier, won't help bis
friend to any alarming extent, and thai
if his candidate and friends incline to q
wqrfare on Secretary Timme, based on
such arguments, they will pursue pol
icy fatal to themselves. Perhaps the
editor has not lived long enough tc
know that wholesale, penny a-line, un'
scrupulous abuse of any man can only
result in strengthening the object ar
rived at, but the lesson may come tc
him if he waits long enoug.

Moral Suasion.

Some of our exchanges professed-
ly favoring temperance reform, have
taken to moral Suasion as the reliable
remedy for the excuses of liquor
drinking. They maintain that the
temperance reform has lost ground
by relying too much on law to sup
press the traffic in intoxicants, and
that the old method of educating by
moral suasion should not have been
abandoned, as the primary agency
for suppressing the evil. We do not
understand that moral suasion is
deemed of less Importance than it
has been in former times: it is as
much as ever regarded an indispen-
sable factor in temperance, as in all
other reforms. The more moral Su
aston the better; there cannot be we'll
too much of it. But until the
world undergoes a radical change, it
will be as impossible for moral sua-
sion alone to Danish excessive use of
liquor as to make the rivers reverse
their currents and flow up stream.
Not until all the great evils which
the law recognizes as such, can one
of the greatest magnitude be put
aside simply by appeals to reason
The people in no part of the world
have ever been ready yet to be gov
erned by a moral code, without the
help of the civil law; it will be along
time before that millenial period will
come. While all the better classes
agree we must have laws relating tc
the sale of intoxicating drinks, there
els a want of agreement among
friends of good order what the char
acter Of these needed statutes should
be- One fact should be kept In
view: "The liquor traffic is the crea
ton of law and must be dealt with
by law" 1t is now more than sixty
years since the temperance reform
was Systematically inaugurated ii

High Sugar Duties Once More

The prospect of any great reduc-
ton of the sugar duty is not as favor
able as at the beginning of the SEES
sion of Congress. Every two years
or oftener there springs up report
that we are on the eve of the sue
cessful manufacture of home sugar
to meet the wants of the people, and
protection of this industry is needed
to fully develop the sugar interest.
Beet sugar and sorghum have taken
turns in promising the prospective
supply. Beet sugar this year ap-
pears to be in the lead, and great re-
suits favorable to its production are
spoken of in Kansas, 1t is now a
full quarter of century since sugar
from the beet, it was confidently
said, would soon be produced in suf
ficient amount to supply the coun-
try in the place of the imported ar,
ticle. The promises of sorghum
have been still more general; it has
been experimental in almost every
part of the country, and has many
times been pronounced SO near a tri
umph, that its complete success was
just at hand. Much capital has been
expended in experimenting with
both beet and sorghum, but if soil
and climate are adverse, science and
skill find it difficult task to change
them The policy of encouraging
home industry is wise one and sug-
ar from beet and sorghum have both
had long and fair trial.
Some superficial reasoners say that
sugar is a legitimate American in
dustry, and that the advocates of
protection to be consistent, should
favor protecting it as other indus
tries. They do not understand that
the production of articles not adapt
ed to the climate and soil of this
country, is no part of the protective
policy Of the United States. More
than twenty-five years trial has shown
that sugar from beet or sorghum,
with large favoring duty, cannot be
produced to any advantage in this
country. Sugar is an article not
suited for home production; but one
state in the union attempts to grow
sugar cane, and that only in limited
quantity. Tea and coffee are large
ly consumed and in great demand,
but it would be preposterous to ask
for duty on tea and coffee with the
view of encouraging their produc-
ton in any part of this country. The
United States have almost every va
riety Of soil and climate, but with all
these advantages they cannot hope
to monopolize the vast productions
of the world,

Mr.. Timme is not seeking the
nomination of Secretary of State, but
some people are doing exactly what,
if persisted in, may give him nom
ination. To score Ernst G.. Timme
as a professional German will not
make converts for friends cause
among the Germans of Wisconsin,
and to score him as a professional
soldier will not kindle the hearts of
the rank and file with enthusiastic
praise for this young Grady of the
new north. Perhaps he doesn't care
for either the Germans or the sol
dier boys, but the Republican party
does. The best political judgment
tells us that it behooves the Repub-
lican party this year to be wise in its
selections of candidates. A great
many considerations will have to be
carefully weighed and if many mis-
takes are made defeat may follow. |
do not say that this or that man
could not be elected TO any specified
office, but suppose the German vo-
tiers signify that they will be best
pleased to have Capt. Timme on the
state ticket, he will still be consid-
cred, according to the editor of TIE
Neao North. a professional German.
How do Mr. Timme's German
friends relish that?
There is nothing in E. G. Timme's
life to be ashamed of. He is Ger
man and stands we'll with Germans,
and is proud of that. He is manned
soldier, and is proud Of that. He is.
also, comparatively poor. but there
is no crime in that. If the editor of
the Rhinelander paper wishes to op-
pose him or attack him, as he has
the option to do, let him proceed IN
a manly way. If he feels that he
must abuse Mr.. Timme let him write
his rounded periods reeklng with
supposed pungency, and then tear
them to pieces before they see day
light. He will respect himself more
and command more respect. The
abuse which he INDUCES in makes
few friends for those whom he thus
endorses and wins no votes for the
party. It is the undoubted right of
every man'to support for position
whomsoever he pleases, and | am
sure that if Capt. Timme is not want
ed, he will stand in the way of no
one. At the same time, unless | am
badly mistaken, his friends will never
sit idly, placidly by and see him
pelted to his political death by the
sings of meanness and injustice.
They do not take kindly to what is
evidently the watchword of some
"Above all things kill Timme; if we
can but do that, we will chance party
welfare"
In spite of all such articles as that
in The Ne7O North, Secretary Tlmme
has a host of friends, and if nomin-
ated would not be load on the
ticket. A reference to the Blue
Book will show that he had at the
last election the largest vote Of any
candidate on the Republican ticket,
in fact he was the only one who had
or has had in the last fourteen years
a clear majority over all his oppo-
nents. If he should be nominated
again for the position he has SO ably
filled I predict that he would be
elected by larger vote than he ever
received before. The people know
him and know what manner of Off
Ger he has been, so that if his name
appears once more on the ticket,
they will give him a splendid en-
dorsemcnt.
