not because he was literary.
The great question to be settled at
Springfield, H., is whether the public
prefers man who looks like Napoleon
to a man who looks like Lincoln.
just at present it is a matter of
conjecture whether man starting for
his office in the morning should carry
an umbrella, sunshade or a pair of
overshoes. ~ Is
1t will be noted, of course, that
outside of Pennsylvania none of the
states is experiencing passionate de-
sire to have Mr.. Quay nominated for
the presidency.
The settlement of the Venezuelan
controversy seems to depend almost
entirely now upon the question whether
Lord Salisbury has the moral courage
to swallow his pride.
Several of Kenosha county's old
soldier boys are planning d trip to the
old battlefields in the south and so
once again tread the soil upon which
they fought thirty three years ago.
Now, if Mr.. Bayard had only said
that Shakespeare was an inferior poet,
and had added point to his remarks by
throwing the salt cellars at his hosts,
he ought to have made hit with some
Of his American critics.
"A crowd of roughs created dis
turbance at the German M. E. church
Sunday evening, but were finally
elected. 1t is strange idea of humor

do so he has no excuse for attending.
Col. Dennis Hynes and cousin,

Rudolph Muentzenberger met
with serious accident in Racine Sun

It seems that while pedaling about
the streets there the fork of his wheel
broke and he ran into curbing and
was thrown in such a shape as to badly
cut his head which rendered him uncOn-

The High school team defeated
the team from Waukegan in spirited
but rather slovenly contested game
Saturday at the ball park. There was
