LABOR DAY.
1t Was Well and Thoroughly Observed in
Kenosha.

Kenosha.
Kenosha did all honor to her labor
ing population Monday. 1t is seldom
that a Fourth of July is more heartily
given over to the honor of the birth OF
this great nation than was Monday
given to the pleasure and honor OF the
man whose horny hands mold and keep
in repair the foundations of this coun-
try's institutional structure. The day
was given over to the wOrkingmen
complete. The factories were closed,
the business houses along the Main
street and in other sections of the city
were shut up at noon and the daily pa
pers stopped publication for the day.
This lS~Che first time since the move
ment for a labor day started that such
has been the case in this city. But
from the spirit in which the occasion
was entered into it is not believed to be
the last general observance of the day.

contingent of the Dania society of Ra-

square and marched to Washington is
land headed by the police force and
DR.. Farr mounted. There the day was
given over to general picnicing. The
picnic was arranged by the Danish
Brotherhood and was very generally
attended by everybody. In honor Of
the day and occasion the stars and
stripes few from most every point Of
vantage and the city took on very
general holiday attire.
The Danish Brotherhood realized
about 5000 on the picnic.

city are now fortunes so vast that with
their own increments and without
the labor of their possessors will in a
limited time amount to thousand mil
lions OF dollars. In the same city are
human beings, mothers, who are MAX
ing shirts for two cents apiece and who
by working far into the night and
stitching away the hours that nature
demands for sleep and rest, can earn a
pittance of fifteen cents a day. Right
eousness eXalteth a nation, and our
perpetuity as a nation depends on our
deciding these questions that are press
ing themselves upon us on the basis of
right, justice and humanity.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
speaker for his very interesting and
able address. At the close a number
of old settlers came forward and grasp
ing the speakers hand, extended to him
hearty congratulations. A new feature
was the appearance upon the platform
of several old lady settlers. 1t was
suggested by Mrs. d. L. Burgess and
the secretary quickly took the hint and
escorted them to seats. These annual
reunions have become famous for the
large crowds that attend them. The
picnic on Thursday was one of the most
ENJOYABLE.

1t now seems more than ever certain
that the depositors Of Dan Head & Co.
will receive every cent of these funds
and while it may take some time, in the
end all claims will be satisfied. We
had ex pected to be able to publish
detailed statement this week but it has
yet been impossible to prepare one.
The approximate liabilities of the bank
are about $175, 900 and the assets, good,
bad and Indifferent are 100000. Of
course some of these will be a total loss,
but if there is a deficiency remaining
the difference will be made up by the
stockholders; in fact so much Dan
Head himself has stated that every de-
positor will be paid. The assignee has
already more than SIC, 900 cash on hand
and collections are coming in fairly well
and Mr.. Hale stated to reporter this
afternoon that he will be ready to pay
a good big dividend before he gets an
order from the court to do so. We are
more than pleased to be able to make
SO favorable a statement, and we feel
sure that it will allay feeling of AK
iety throughout the city and county.
Next week q detailed statement of the
banks condition will be published.

WAS REFUSED THE PAPERS.
Under Sheriff Harkins Meets Rebuff in an
Attempted Arrest.

Attempted Arrest.
Under Sheriff Harkins went to Chica-
go Tuesday to attempt the arrest of
Isaac and Bernhard Harris in the big
conspiracy and arson case of the Chi
cago Bedding company, but he had to
come back without the men. The rea-
son for his failure to get the men lies in
piece Of high handedness on the part
of the police officers in Chicago. Mr..
Harkins had secured requisition papers
from Gov. Upham, naming him the
agent of the Wisconsin state executive
in securing these men under the blan-
ket charge which covers all the rest jn
the case. The reQuisition was honOred
by Gov Altgeld and the eXtraditiOnpa-
pers were forwarded by him to Chief
Badenoch, of Chicago, for Mr.. Harkins.
They were addressed to Mr.. Harkins,
in care of the chief of police. Mr.. Har-
kins called for the papers. The first
man he met was Chief Elliott, of the
detective department. Mr.. Elliott in
formed him that he would not deliver
over the papers, but would send out
two men to make the arrests and turR
them over to Mr.. Harkins. This MIR.
Harkins refused to listen to. Hewant-
ed the papers that were addressed to
him so that he could go to the sheriff's
Office and get assistance from there as
was legal. He knew the police had NO
authority to make the arrest. He was
referred to the chief That gentleman
was not in his Office. Then he went to
Inspector Fitzpatrick. That gentle
man refused to interfere with MIR.
Elliott.
Those who understand something Of
the methods of the police department
of Chicago state that in cases like this
in which rich man, like Harris, is in
volved, it often happens, very mysteri-
Ously, that the man wanted is not
brought back by the men sent after
him. Then again, it the police made
the arrests time must necessarily
elapse before the prisoners could be
turned over to the sheriff and by him
to the man demanding them under the
requisition papers. This time is often
utilized by the prisoners in swearing
out habeas corpus proceedings. This
was what was most feared by Mr.. HaF-
kins. If that was done the state would
have been compelled to have thrown
down all its bars and given it's case
away to the defense in trying to break
down the habeas corpus. Then an
other consideration entering into the
affair, too, was the fact that even if
they were successfully eXtradited there
would not be time between the end of
that trial and the beginning of the fuEA
trial here in which to hold the prelin-
mary hearing of the two Harrises and
therefore they could not be tried with
the rest. These considerations deter
mined Mr. Harkins in pressing the mat
ter no farther.
Of course there is no question about
the fact that the men responsible for
the refusal of the papers to Mr.. Har-
kins are criminally liable for this pro
ceeding and Mr. Harkins is very i'm
dignant over the affair. But as mat
tiers stand now it would result in ne
special good to bring suit and recover
the papers at law. They could not be
had in time, at any rate.

home at Lake Geneva, Friday morning,
August %. She had been i'll only five
days and having enjoyed her usual ro-
bust health up to that time, her death
came as a sudden shock to her family
and friends.
Mrs. Kull, formerly Ann Reitbrock,
was born in the town of Wheatland,
Kenosha county, in 1841 and has lived

though the best of surgical and medical
aid was summoned from Milwaukee

made it pleasure to come in contact
with her. She leaves husband, four
sons and two daughters, beside grand
children who mourn their loss in the

We Think Not.

Without the coIored vote the Republicans
of Carroll would scarcely put ticket in the
field. They have over 500 colored voters,
and are still in the minority by about 300
On the white vote alone they are in the MI
nority by over 800.
This year they believe they are going to WIN.
If they do so it will be by the aid of 100 or
more Democratic votes.
Can it be possible that there are $50 Demo
Gratis in Carroll who are going 10 join the 900
negroes in an effort TO turn this county and
state over TO a party which is composed IN
half of irresponsible negroes who pay no
taxes?
Is it possible there are $50 Democrats in
Carroll who will take the risk OF mixed
schools, by voting the Republican ticket?
Will $50 Democrats of Carroll vote with the
500 or more negroes to send Republicans to
the Legislature who will vote for Republicans
for United States Senators?
VIII 100 Democrats of Carroll vote with
the 800 or more negroes to carry Carroll and
MARYLAND for the Republican party so that
they can hold the state for Il Republican
President next year, as Mr.. Lowndes claims?
We think not. When the time comes to
act. it is not likely many Democrats will vote
for Republicans. With Il clean. excellent
state ticket with local ticket composed of
honest. representative men: with excellent
administration of state affairs, and with coun
ty management the best in the state, there
exists no excuse for any Democrat to scratch
even one name on the Democratic ticket.

For Mixed Schools.

A large meeting of colored people was held
at St. Marks Church, New York, on Monday
night. called by the colored preachers OF the
city, One of the objects of the meeting, as
announced by Rev. p. B. Tomkins, who pre-
sided. was 1.-THE right of colored children 70
attend any of the public schools in the city
and the employment of colored teachers in
the public schools.
Here is demand not only that the color
line shall be abolished in the public schools
of New York city, but that there shall be no
distinction on account Of color in the employ
memt of teachers. In other words, the de-
mand is for mixed schools and mixed teach
erS.
Should the Republicans carry Maryland,
can any one say that mixed schools will not
be demanded here? And can any one say
that Lowndes and Republican Legislature
would not grant the request, III the face OF the
fact that nearly half of that party is composed
of colored voters?
Mr. Lowndes says that if the Republicans
carry Maryland this year, they will hold it for
1896. They cannot hold it without the col
ored vote, and if they do not give the colored
people what they want they will not support
the party. Up TO date they have been voting
upon promises. The Republicans have never
been in a position 10 redeem promises. If
they carry the state this year, they will be-,
and they can offer no excuse for not granting
mixed schools or anything else the colored
people NAV demand.

Some Press Opinions.
From the Cecil Democrat.

From the Cecil Democrat.
The Republican candidate for Comptroller
is credited with saying at meeting in Balti-
more county, that if he went home and told
his mother he was Catholic, she would kill
him. Evidently Mr.. Graham doesn't want
any Catholic to vote the Republican ticket.
From the Hartford Democrat.
A dispatch to the Baltimore Ners of Feb
ruarv Sth. 1894, said "Mr, Lloyd Lowndes.
of Cumberland is here doing missionary work
among his Republican friends against the
Hayes bill.
Mr.. Lowndes forgot this when he made his
speech in Bel Air Monday last. He also for
got to state that he was in the senate chamber
talking with the Republican Senators from
Allegheny. Garrett and St. Mary's counties
when the Hayes bill passed the Senate, and
that after this talk these Republican Senators
that he followed this bill to the House, at
tended the caucus of Republican members
and persuaded fifteen of the twenty-three
members to vote against the bill.
Two years ago majority of the Republican
members of the Senate and House of Dele
gates, under the leadership of Lloyd Lowndes
and representing the Republican, party, voted
against assessment. This same Lloyd Lowndes
and same Republican party are asking Demo
Gratis to vote for and with them on this assess

A CoLoRED MANS CRIME.
Shot a White Woman Who Rejected
Him, and Killed Himself

BROOKLYN, \. Y, October 2O.-Because a
white woman of whom he had become enam-
ored refused to recprocate his passion James
7. Smith, negro. early this morning shot
her and then blew ont his brains. Smith died
/ instantly.
Mary Short, the woman who he shot. is still
alive, and the surgeons at the Long Island
Hospital, to which she was taken, said tonight
that there was hope that she would recover.
Her age is twenty-seven and she has been en-
plOyed as the ianitress of the Wallace Build
ing, in Pine street. New York city.
The engineer of the building was Smith.
He met the janitresS nearly every day while
she was engaged at her work. and as a result.
though she was white and he colored. he fell
in love with her.
Last night Smith visited the Short house
and proposed marriage to the woman. The
proposition made her angry and she ordered
Smith to leave the house. He drew Il revol-
yer and fired.
The bullet struck the woman in the back.
between the shoulder blades. Immediately
he turned the weapon upon himself and sent
ballet crashing through his head.

A Comparison.

Speaking of taxation in Carroll, the Senti-
mel says
The rate per capita is about $500, a
pretty stiff charge on the people all things
considered.
Let us consider about this. The assessed
value of Carroll and Allegany counties is
nearly the same. Carroll is under Democratic
rule and Allegany under Republican.
The population of Carroll is given by the
last census at over 1000. The tax rate is
an average of a cents. The general expense
account is about $50. 900 and the average per
capita is about !S?.8I. instead of s.. 90. as the
Sentinel alleges In Allegany county the tax
rate is ~ rents. and the general expense ac-
count is about S152. 600. The population is
about Al 800 and the average per capita TAX
is about $3.50
Mr.. Lowndes, the Republican nominee for
Governor. dominates absolutely the Republi-
can party there. and the result is a tax rate
IS ceHts higher than in Carroll and her per
capita tax is about 81. 6G against about 81. 81
in Carroll.
The Sentinel asks the people of Carroll to
turn the state over to Mr.. Lowndes. If he
requires 80 cents on the 500 more to run
Allegany county than ii costs to conduct
affairs in Carroll, he would have to put the
State tax rate up from liz to about 30 cents
to run the state. Thirty cents is what the
Republicans required when they were in
power

Has He Denied 1t ?

Mr.. Lloyd Lowndes has made sundry state
ments on the stump as to his reassessment
enthusiasm 1t was not long ago that he was
summed up as one of the chiefest enemies re-
assessment ever had in this State. He has
never denied, to our knowledge, that he
worked against that last bill; Did he or did
he not?
The Cumberland Times, published right IN
his own town, asks him point blank:
"Mr. Lowndes, did you not spend a whole
week at Annapolis during the session of the
Legislature in 1894, using your influence to
defeet this Identical measure for a reassess-
ment and did yQg not finally succeed in get,
ting fifteen out the twenty-three Republican
members of the House to vote against the bill,
and did not the Republican members FROM
this county, nominated by you and Boss
Wellington, vote early and often against the
bib, and did yon not encourage them to do so:
In plain words, were you not largely instru-
mental for the failure Of the Democrats al
that time to put single line upon the statue
books in fnl6lIment Of the repeated pledges o.
their party in reference TO reassessmenf z?

States Attorney.

The position Of States Attorney Is one OF
the most important the people have 10 fill,
and they should act wisely in selecting one.
The States Attorney is the people, attorney.
He should be lawyer of ability and eXpe-
rience, "A logical and forcihe speaker, quick
to perceive and prompt TO act in the trial OF
cases. The protection of society depends IN
a large degree upon the competency OF the
States Attorney to properly draw indictments
and prosecute criminals. An incompetent
one would leave society exposed to the evil
disposed, and court costs would be unneceS-
sarily increased in abortive trials. He should
be conservative and discriminating. careful
and prudent.
The Democratic party has nominated >.
Milton Reifsnider for the important place OF
States Attorney. and commendS him TO the
people as one fully competent to fill the posi-
tion
