consin shall be done. In other words,
the franchise, as asked for by Mr. Com
stock, was not the franchise paescd
March 18th, and the franchise. as ),,>s ed
March 9TH, was never printed or quo
lished prior TO said action of the coun-
Gil, and the people whose interests
were at stake had no opportunity to

the state law governing such cases.
| therefore recommend that this
council take such acJion by resolution
us will convey to Mr.. COmstock our in
tention to deny him the right To com
mence any construction of said railway
lines under this alleged franchise in the
city Of Kenosha.
In conclusion want TO say that we

demand that we use extraordinary
precautiOn and conservatism in spend

obligations. Let all matters that may

Farr, Kenosha, Wis.-MyDeal colonel
i am glad to note that the young
men OF Kenosha are ready and anxious
to organize company. When the
proper time comes their claims will be
given due consideration. This matter,
however, will not be taken up in detail
until after the Guard, as it exists at
present, has been modified and sent to
the front. Until that time, however,
they must wait patiently until the state
forces are ready to go.
Yours sincerely,

TIE air is just now rife with conjec-
lures as to the duration and result of
the war waging between this country
and Spain. While it is most generally
acknowledged that the United States,
owing TO her vast resources must
eventually be victorious, there is great
diversity of opinion as to the time
which will be required in the accom-
plishment of that end, some predicting
that hostilities will drag Oh possibly
through years, and others that the
struggle will be short, sharp and deci
siYe. 1t is almost impossible to form
conclusive judgment because of the
existing conditions. There is no doubt
considerable sentiment on the Euro
pean continent which is favorable to
Spain. Furthermore there are posi-
bilities of factional Juprisings in Spain
whose results would operate directly
on the Spanish American war; These
are uncertain quantities, and cannot
be reckoned on with any degree of
accuracy. In naval force Spain out
numbers us, but we have certain ad
vantages in the way of armor and
armament which will Offset their nu-
nlerical superiority. But above all
American sailors are superior to none.
The battle of Yalu, the first engage
ment between modern menofwar, when
ten Japanese cruisers and two first
class battleships utterly defeated a
Chinese fleet of five huge first class
battleships, seven armored cruisers,
two torpedo boats and gunboat,
proved after all that weight and num-
bers are comparatively insignificant
factors when compared with seaman
ship and generalship. In the former
then of these two requisites it is gen.
orally acknowledged that the United
States far outclasses it's opponent.
With the presumption of able leader
ship, reasonably in favor Of this coun-
try, added to her superiority in sea-
manship, equipment and position, the
present armed dispute should certainly
be settled in very short time, should
no international complications arise.

THERE are some very noble indiVid-
uals who sit comfortably in their
homes secure in the knowledge that this
government is able and determined to
protect it's citizens, and condemn the
president of the United States as a
coward and our soldiers and sailors,
with their leaders, as soldiers fit only
for the parade and times of peace.
Such people are far worse than towards.
They are not only towards but traitors
and deserve the condemnation of al
good citizens.

| wish to preface it by summarizing
it briefly, and then | will give you it
entire, in detail. have begun with
the balance in the treasury on April
lst, 1898. from which I deduct,
Orders drawn upon it previous to
April LIST, 81, 1921. Orders drawn
upon it by the former council, between
April 1st and April 18th, inclusive,
$5,089.50. City school fund, SIT ,095

ing and sewer bond coupons due dur
ing the ensuing year on April l; and Oct.

Prairie avenue paving and the 10 per
cent. reserve due on the Durkee street
paving. A contract for the building Of
new Hook u Ladder truck; the
Clty's proportion of the cost Of the new
sewer work now in course of construc
ton, ETC.; the amount due the Gas
company for Prairie avenue connec
tons, collected but not paid, (miEd,
these items are all old contracts made
by the former council--fXed charges
bequeathed by them as a legacy for US
to pay out of the April 1st balance)
amounting in the aggregate to $47 ,632.
04, leaving balance of $2,718.8l out
of the once glorious $50, 35085. With
$2,7l8 81 we enter this new admins
tration, but with ali prospective con-
tracts provided for, yet with not one
provision made to meet the current
expenses OF Kenosha for year to
come.
What has become of the $50, $50 50?
1t has q gone glimmering through the
dreams of things that were," and,
gentlemen, you and [ have to accept
the inevitable, take the facts as we
find them and govern ourselves accord
ingly. a-o@
Added to this $2,718 81 we estimate
the revenues of the coming year to be
$24,849.82, making the total of ST.
$50 63 available to Offset our prospect
i've expenses, which are estimated in
detail in the annexed statement, from
which we find that between now and
the end of the next twelve months, or
April LIST, 1899, we have to meet a
deficiency Of $28, 837.37 Now, not to
be misunderstood, [ want to say fur
Their, that 1 have not taken into con
sideratiOn anv revenues that will come
with our next tax levy, and for this
reason, viz: While this levy may be
made to be collected any time between
December 1st 1913, and about March LIST
'99, vet we know full we'll that it prob
ably will not be much before the latter
end of February, '99, that this fund will
be available in amount sufficient to be
OF practical service in meeting our obli-
cations; in other words, the next tax
levy will only be available for about 80
Gays, from which we can apply so much
of it as may be necessary TO reduce the
deficit of $28, 837.37 for the year ending
April lst, '99.
1t is needless for me to say that III
the tax levy to be collected from Dec
EN- Der LIST, '98 to March '99 will have
to be included this deficit OF $28, 50l.O4

HARTS BRIGADE.
Its Headquarters and Camp May
be Located Here.

Should the expected new call for vol
unteers be issued by the President. it
is quite. certain that General Hart's s
brigade will be accepted, and then re-
cruiting will go on rapidly.
Captain Desborough, who has estab-
lished Battery AS camp at Agricultural
Park, says it is the intention to make
Sacramento the headquarters of the
brigade until it shall be mustered into
service. He regards Sacramento as
much preferable place for large
camp than San Francisco
Should this be done, it will be quite
a help to the city, as the camp would
require large quantity of supplies,
much of which would no doubt be pur-
chased here, putting a considerable sum
of money into circulation among our
merchants.
Captain Desborough requests that
persons having good reading matter,
such as magazines or periodicals, that
they can spare, send them to Camp
Bruner, at the park, for the use of the
men now there and to come. He feels
very grateful to the hundreds of men
and women who visited the camp on
Sunday and gave such generous en-
couragement to the recruits.

OLD GLORY CARNIVAL.
Some of the Attractive Feature,
That Will be Found There.

Company G has shown its apprecia-
ton of the work of the ladies of the
Red Cross and has agreed to patrol
and assist in every way possible at the
Old Glory Carnival. The bright uni
forms Of the boys, mingled with the
unique costumes of the girls in the
booths, will make a pretty sight.
Company G has a good chance to get
the beautiful flag which is to be voted
on that day to the most popular COM
pany.
Another attraction will be the Native
Daughters Summer Garden. Peanuts in
all styles will be served. BY way of
entertainment, the Daughters will ap-
pear in Living Pictures the very
mention of which should draw an ap-
preciative audience At this booth
may also be seen some wonderful per-
formances in "Black Art" and a living
curiosity the 'Four-legged Girl
The battleship Maine has been do
mated to the ladies, and will be on
exhibition near the lavender booth.
The ship is five feet over ALL and will
be propelled by water power in a tank
built for the purpose. The mounted
guns, torpedo tubes, turrets, etc. make
it an especially interesting feature. No
admission will be charged to see this
wonderful production but tickets will
be sold at 10 cents each by which one
may have a chance to own it. Every
patriotic boy will want to buy a ticket
on what is left Of the Maine.

same having been generously rendered
for the use of the society, together with
flags and other appropriate decorations.
1t is hoped there will be large at
tendance, as there will be much of i'm
portance to consider at that time. All
who are interested in the Old Glory
carnival are asked to be present to
suggest ways and means of adding to
its success, financially and otherwise.
The Red Cross Society was to make
the sacks for the children of the Fourth
of July parade, but being very busy
supplying the soldiers with proper
bandages. pillow slips, ETC., Mrs. E. r.
Hamilton kindly came to their assist
ance and agreed to relieve them of this
work, and the sashes are now ready.
The women of the society were great
ly cheered a day or two since by the
hearty words of encouragement re-
ceived from an odd soldier. He told
them that no other than one who had
seen actual service could estimate the
amount of comfort that comes to the
sick and wounded soldiers through the
unl.iring efforts of this organization.
There seems to be a general impress
sion that there is a regular lunch COM
mdttee to serve the troops as they
come in. Such is not the case, The
work is done entirely by volunteers,
and all interested in the work are cor
daily invited to assist.
Credit was given yesterday to the
Leader for the 5000 subscribed by
Chinese residents for the Red Cross
fund.- This was an error. The money
was collected by Eouie Sam, the well
known Chinese interpreter, and he
says he isn't near through collecting
from his countrymen.
