ANNUAL MEETING.
Trustees of the Fire Department Wind up
the Business for Another Year

@N@
The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Kenosha Fire department was
held last evening at the office of Justice
Slater. Nearly ali the officers and
trustees were present at the meeting
and the business which had been left
over from the last annual meeting was
quickly disposed of. No new business
of an important nature was taken up.
The various officials presented their
reports and showed that the department
is in excellent condition.
Of course the usual provision was
made for the division of the surplus
cash among the members of the volun
tary department and in the next few
days each member will receive about
SIS.
The annual meeting of the entire
membership for the election of officers
will be held next Monday night.

For long time there has been an
outcry against the fraudulent pensions
that are so taxing the financial
strength of the country. So severe
and general has been the criticism
that it was thought that the turning
point had been reached and that hence
forth legislation in that direction
would be calculated to carefully censor
the pension list and thereby reduce the
unnecessary draught upon the treas
ury. But instead of this, what has the
nation to face but pension bill at the
same time the most unthinkab1e and
imposed even upon this pension ridden
country. The bill is one to pension de-
serters. Of course it is not the avowed
purpose of the bill to pension all the
nearly 100000 deserters whose names
appear on the records of the country.
The idea is to draw a very fine line
sheer cowardice shall not receive any
consideration, but only those who de-
serted under the most generating cir
cumstances. This is all lovely enough,
but there is no such thing as combining
the pensions to those who deserve
them. That has been proven to the
degree. To pass the new pension bill
would only be to enlarge the already
too ample field for fraud in the line of
pensions and impose a burden more
burdensome than that under which the
country chafes.
Almost as remarkable as the fact
that such bill has been introduced is
the fact that the father or protector of
the bill is the venerable senior Senator
from Illinois, Senator Cu11om. It is
almost incomprehensib1e that m an of
the gumption and experience of the
Illinois Senator should allow himself
to be hoodwinked by set of cunning
pension attorneys who are looking for
the fees, into introducing a bill to so
enhance the pension burden, especially
when the benefciaries of that bill are
those who deserted their country when
it was in it's greatest need. Certainly
one is excusable for being amazed at
the fact. That one who was SO we'll
acquainted with the state of affairs at
the time of the war, and has since
been in a condition to witness the
atrocious abuse of the pension laws,
should seek to dishonor the old soldier
by putting him on a plane with the de-
serter and in1peri1 the future of the.
pension system in this country by
championing such bill, is past under
standing. There is one hope in the
new bill. 1t is possible that so patent
an evidence of the disposition to abuse
of the pension laws may spur Our leg
is1ators to some definite restricting and
remedying action.

Where Mississippi Led.

In conversation with Hon. E. S. Will
son, chief of the New Orleans Picayune,
Col. G. H. Parkers, president of the
Louisiana board of prison control,
said:
1.-THE State of Mississippi has taken
the lead of all the Southern States in
the matter of employment of convict
labor"
This is emphatically so, and would
be no less true had he said "all the
states"
In this connection it is well to note
the fact that in almost every new de-
parture vital to the present and pos
terity, Mississippi leads. at was the
Mississippi plan" that freed the South
from the domination of the carpet bag
ger; it was the Mississippi plan in her
new constitution that pointed the way
to all the sisterhood for the settle
ment Of the suffrage question in way
calculated to promote fair voting, in
telligent rule, peaceful elections
and the obliteration of illiteracy
among both races; it was the Missis-
sippi plan that took the convicts
from the demoralizing and debas-
ing influence of penitentiary walls
and put them to work in the fields
and made them not only self-support-
ing but source of vast revenue to
the commonwealth; it was the Mis-
sisippi plan that gave to the country
the first Industrial Institute and Col
lege for girls ever established under
State auspices in the United States
or in any other country, and $50 on
through the chapter" our State has led
in many things progressive and up

assumption of enormous educational
burdens for the benefit of the blacks,
her legislation for the protection of
woman, and of the homestead, and in
many other ways.-Absrdeea E9am-

Teddy and Billy Met.

Messrs. Bryan and Roosevelt had a
pleasant meeting Monday night.
Their private cars came alongside at
Alton, and each of the candidates
stepped upon his particular platform
and there was mutual recognition. A
special to the Chicago Record thus
describes the greetings;
Hello, Billy" said Teddy, thrusting
forth his hand.
Hello, Teddy" quoted Billy, grasp
ing Roosevelt'S extended hand and
shaking it vigorously, How is your
voice?"
Its as rough as the Populite plat
form. How is yours, Colonel Bryan?''
laughed Roosevelt.
mime is as broken as Republican
promises" retorted the Nebruskan,
laughing, too.
Then everybody laughed aud cheered,
the Democrats with Bryan shouting
hurrah for him, and Roosevelt's fol-
lowers yelling for Mckinley. The
meeting was wholly by chance, aud
was as cheerful as it was picturesque.
The women with Judge Yates and the
Illinois Republicans passed bouquets
through the car window to Mr.. Bryan
and pelted him with roses. The two
trains soon drew past each other,
Bryan's northbound for Quincy and
Roosevelt's southwark for st. Louis.
As the two trains slipped slowly into
the dark the prominent figures of the
two great parties stood on the plat
forms of their respective cars cal
ling s'Good luck and "Goodbyn and
