If it required an annual outlay of 500
to insure family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel
complaint during the year there are many
who would feel it their duty to pay it;
that they could not afford to risk their
lives and those of their family for such
an amount. Anyone can get this insur-
ance for rs cents, that being the price of
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. In almost every
neighborhood some one has died from an
attack of bowel complaint before medi-
cine could be procured or physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case. It
never fails. Can you afford to take the
risk for so small an amount? For sale

THE dispatches have announced sew
eral times that Maj. Scofield would not
make public his appointments until
after his Inauguration as governor.
Numerous papers have commented on
this fact, and the fact that he will
make few changes in the appointments
within his power as showing that the
major will be the governor and not the
politicians, and it certainly looks that
way. If that is to be the new. govern
ors policy he can greatly strengthen
himself in it by the disappointment of
Gen. Charles King to the position of
adjutant general. 1t will be an ap-
pointment which will not please the
politicians, but it will please the
militia, and what is more important
the people. There is no better choice
to be made within the state. Gen.
King has conducted the affairs Of his
office on the best of business principles.
He is thorough soldier. He has been
compelled several times in the past
two wears to submit as he was taught
at West Point to do under all circum-
stances to the civil authorities in the
matter of appointments in his depart
ment. He has always done this grace
fully. He has been a model officer,
credit to himself and to the state. 1t
was understood sometime ago that the
position would be offered the general.
We hope it has been or will be, and
that the rumor that it has been offered
to Major Charles r. Boardman, of
Oshkosh, is incorrect.

The Prison Labor Question.

The Wisconsin Convict Labor
association was formed in Milwaukee
recently. It has for it's object the re-
moyal Of the baneful influences of the
competition of prison labor with free
labor. At present the cOnvicts in the
state prison at Waupun are working
under contract the state has with
certain contractors who are shoe
makers, while in Milwaukee the con-
yicts at the house Of correction are set
at chair making. The shoes are made
by labor which is paid for at the rate of
so cents per day. A similar statement
would hold good with reference to the
Milwaukee institution. The direct
consequence of this state of things is
that the shoes made at Waupun and
the chairs made at Milwaukee can be
and are put upon the market at price
which cuts the markets all to pieces for
other manufacturers in those same lines
who employ free labor. These latter
manufacturers think the state is thus
unfairly placing a heavy obstruction IN
their way to free home market. This
is admitted to be true by the majority
of people, but the question is: how can
this condition be done away with? The
association would have very easy sail
ing across seas and into port if it could
but offer a remedy. There must be
some sort of labor performed by the
cOnvicts. IdIeness would never do, for
in a great proportion of cases that was
the one condition which opened the
way for the commission of the crimes
which placed the convicts where they
are They must work, but what at
and howe That is the question. La
almost every other industry suggested
as a solution of the problem the diff
Guilty would be but shifted from one set
of shoulders to another set.
Road making would seem to offer a
solution uotil one thinks of the bur
densome expense aud the dangers Of
escape which would necessarily attend
upon it,
The Whole matter is an old question.
1t has knocked at legislature doors for
years, demanding solution. Invari-
ably the legislators inquire: What is
there to take the place of the present
system Aad the question is tenn

The Pardoning Power.

Apropos of the proposition set adoat
in Milwaukee looking to the pardon OF
John B. Koeting, the banker who was
sentenced to Waupun for five years for
receiving a deposit when he knew his
bank TO be insoIvent, the question OF
leaving the pardoning power in the
hands of the governor comes up. 1t is
understood that there is a proposition
among the legislators who meet at
Madison this winter to provide for a
pardoning board, and the removal OF
the power of pardoning convicts from
the state prison to it. II such propo-
sition is receiving attention it is de-
cidedly wise move. The pardoning
power in the hands of the governor
often operates to destroy much OF the
effect of the enforcement of our GRIM
inal laws. Political and sometimes
personal reasons are urged upon gov
ernor in such matters, and by reason OF
the very position he holds and the
manner of his obtaining it he is placed
in some very trying positions, espeo-
iallv if the criminals attorney happens
to be a political supporter Of the
executive.
These are not by any means all the
reasons for the talked-of move. But
they are sufficient for the purposes of
enforcing the point we desire to make
that the pardoning power should be
divorced altogether from all political
influence.
1t seems to us it would be wise to
put the power in the hands of board
of say three circuit judges, or three
other equally disinterested men, who
should meet at stated times to hear
and determine all appeals for clemency.
There are so many reasons in favor of
such a board, and SO few against it,
that it would seem that all that would
be necessary to its establishment would
be a good presentation of the matter to
the legislature.

Rando Will be Here.
we will.

The great healer of rheumatism,
paralysis and chronic diseases general
ly, will make his first appearance here
at the opera house Tuesday evening
next.
The announcement of Rando, the
q Great American Healer" and New
York specialist, appears in this weeks
issue of the PH-COURIER.
Rando comes to Kenosha to give the
afflicted an opportunity to be cured
with his famed Rando remedies.
Rando cures rheumatism, paralysis
and many other chronic diseases, which
the very best scientific treatment has
failed even to relieve. He can cure
the very worst case of rheumatism in
an hours time, and proposes to do this
for few patients at the opera house
simply as an advertisement, breaking
their canes and crutches as they will
have no further use for them. Rando's
cures remain permanent. RandOs
medical papers show that he is reg
ular graduate of medicine from one of
the most prominent schools in New
York. He is registered according to
the law in the different states, that re-
ouire it, and has full and legal right
to practice. Rando will lecture and
cure cripples Thursday night at the
opera house. A splendid concert will
furnish excellent music. RANDI is the
most charitable of men, as he invites
the poor who are unable to pay for
treatment, to come and be healed free,
as he will be glad to render services
gratis to anyone who will bring letters
from the mayor or their pastor stating
they are worthy and respectable and
dependent on charity.
Rando will open Office Friday morn
ing at the Grant hotel from 10 to Z
o'clock. The afflicted should not fail
to consult him if they have any kind OF
chronic disease, which he never fails to

End of the Armenian Question.

What has every appearance OF being
authentic information is furnished in
the dispatches today Of the fact that
the deadlock, which has been known
in Europe as the concert of the powers,
is broken and the Turk is to be CO.
creed. If this proves to be correct
there will be thousands of christian
people in this country who will fall on
their knees and thank God that after
all He has not turned His back upon
His people, and that He will no longer
permit the unspeakaDle Turk to COM
NIT his atrocities upon the Armenians.
The dispatch bearing on the matter
says that the sultan is to be reduced
to vassalage and will become subject to
Russian rule.
Two things may be confidently as
sumed regarding the modus vi7endi.
First, that substantial guarantees of
good government for all the races in
Turkey shall be provided; second, that
Russia shall retain her practical mas
terry of the situation in the sultan's do
main.
Orders have already been given to
the British, Russian and French squad
rons in the Levant to assemble at the
entrance to the Dardanelles, and to the
Russian Black sea feet to prepare to
enter the Bosporus in the event of the
sultan's failure to yield immediate
obedience to the formal demands.

GROVER CLEVELAND has played
shrewd game in The position be has
taken on the Cuban question as ex-
pressed in his annual message to con-
gress. Ee lays out a policy of nom
Intervention and places it on such
grounds that it will be a serious matter
with Maj. Mckinley if he should see fit
to do anything for the struggling in
surgents. The policy Of the president
is placed upon the ground that there is
no government among the insurgents
outside of the military rule OF the army
officials, except on paper. Hence
there is nothing to recognize. Strictly
speaking, that is true. The guerrilla
warfare the insurgents have been COM
PEELED to wage against vastly superior
forces has so far operated to prevent
the establishment of a central civil
governing body. The argument on
that ground establishes, if we mistake
not, policy for the incoming admin
istration, which would leave the in
surgents hopeless indeed, were it not
for the stand taken in the last para
graph of the argument which in effect
states that time may come when this
country must do something in its
own interests. The Cuban part of the
message is about like showing a mans
head under water and holding it there
until life is we'll nigh extinct, and then
pulling 1t out. If the man lives, all
we'll and good; if not, well, we
couldn't help it.

These figures are the official ones in
the repOrt.of the superintendent OF i'm
migration, but they are not based upon
actual tests They are entirely based
upon the truth of the statements made
by the immigrants themselves. I'm
doubleday if the immigrants were re-
quired by the inspectors to read or
write before they could be admitted,
the above figures would be larger.
The fact that so many of these peo-
pie can neither read nor write is more
or less apt to bring the further fact in
it's train that there are very few skilled
workmeu among them. Of the immi-
grants sent TO rs in 1898 by the various
countries Of Europe, but a small pro-
portion were skilled workmen. Thus
among immigrants from Scotland there

something to relieve the situation.
