The Isthnian Canal.

Capt. Sigsbee, Commander of the
batt1eship Maine at the time of the ex-
p1osion and her destruction in the har-
Dor of a supposedly friendly nation,
speaks his opinion in regard to the
Central American canal. Admiral
Dewey thinks the same way. AS the
opinion of these gentlemen comedies
with our own, in the words of one of
our humorous writer's, we say "such
men ought to be encourag ed." But
Capt. Sigsbee dec1ares-"Strict nett
tra1ity is the only course open to the
United States in regard to the canal.
1t is the only course this country can
righteous1y take, for, as soon as the
waterway is fortified we will assume a
responsibility that will be hard tc
carry without serious trouble. In the
first place it will be necessary to make
our naval force three times stronger
than it is today, in order to protect the
canal properly. Such a motive, it is
clear, would tend toward entangle
ments not consistent with peace.''

Summer Festival of Fun.

The third annual Carnival will be
held in Milwaukee in June. The dates
have been set-from the Doth to the
29th-and the great work of prepara-
ton is already we'll under way. AS
the second exce11ed the first, so will
the third event eclipse both the previ-
Gus Carniva1s. The fame of Ethe' Car
niva1 is more than 1oca1-it is not even
confined to the limits of the great Bad
ger state, but has extended to ali parts
of the country. Southern people have
been attracted by it and are coming in
larger numbers than ever before to
spend their summers in Wisconsin.
They arrange to attend the9 Carnival
festivities and then separate to the
countless resorts for which Wisconsin
is so Justly famous. There will be new
and novel features about the Carnival
of 1900 to distinguish it not alone from
others in Milwaukee, but from all 9TH
ers in the country. The reduced rail
road rates that will be in effect will
make it an excellent week in which to
visit the metropolis of the state.

condition that the city should build

of Berea stone; size 70 by 40 feet; the
lower story is used for library and the
upper for City Hall purposes; reading
room is 6Ox78 feet, sp1endid1y fur

Green Bay is asking for a railway

of ali grades and dimensions. But
drive is not what it used to be, for
railroads have been built and log
trains penetrate into the thick of the
pine forests.

tically Throws the Case out of Court.
After a two years struggle to secure
damages from a number of we11-known
residents of the town of SomersA it an
pears that Miss Lillian Seery will not
be able to collect a cent against her
alleged defamers. The case was called
in the Circuit Court Saturday after
noon when Miss Seery attempted to
secure an execution of the Judgment
granted her against Lafayette Cook by
garn1sheeing the wife Of the defendant.
The case brought forth quite an ex-
tended argument between Judge Fish
and Wallace Ingalls,, who represented
the young lady, but in the end the de-
PENDANT in the case was successful and
the Judge handed down an opinion that
the plaintiff could not recover under
the execution. This will probably be
the last heard of the Cook case. AS all
the money of Mr.. Cook is invested in
a homestead in this city it seems that
Miss Seery will not be able to collect
cent of the $500 Judgment awarded her
by the courts. The case of Miss Seery
against George Leet is still on the
calendar and will be tried.

Election and New Regime.

The Spring election of 1900 has
passed into history. Enthusiasm every
where, but nowhere strife. Nor can
the voice of the people, though uttered
with emphasis, cast the horoscope OF
the autumna1 election. Not often does
municipal ballot predict the result OF
Il great national political campaign.
Every voice has local tone and each
ballot is tinted with local co1oring.
But the polls are closed and the cleo
ton is over. Some of us went to the
box with unresponsive paper IN our
hands, but we independently and
manfully expressed our preferences.
Certain with political hopes and asPir-
atoms, because the majority was on
the other side, must retire to the rank
and file of thinking active citizenship,
not to wait and watch and criticize,
but to support the city administration,
maintain the honor of KenOsha, and to
further the interests of our growing
municipality.
To His Honor the Mayor, to the City
Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor, Justice of
the Peace, and all the Aldermen a
hearty welcome. May yon wear your
diguities so that they shall be dignities
indeed. Magnify your Office by mag
unanimous purpose and splendid
achievement. In harbor improve
n1euts, ia railway extension, in the
matter of considera BILE building, in the
affairs of our Public Schools, in trade
and commerce, may this year be
conspicuous year in Kenosha's expan-
sion and prosperity. Let us have no
foolish obstructionisn1, no strangling
OF the goose that lays the golden egg,
no preference of personal claims as
against the general good.
Certain distinguishments of the year
are visible already, as, the dedication
of the soldiers monument; that thir-
tieth of May, with the city's guests,
ard marching veterans, and booming
cannon, will be great, it will be
pregnant with events historic. The
opening of the Public Library, with
its thousands of learned and en-
pertaining volumes will give new
impetus to the education and
culture of Kenosha. The cree
ton and dedication of the Y. NJ
c. A. building will be an event of nc
mean significance; it means entertain.
rarent, sociabi1ity and moral touch
tor cur young men, and will be an edi
zee to which people of all faiths and Of
no faith must point with pride. A
score Of other good things will doubt
Less mark the year. May the result o.
the recent election make us all con
tented and happy IN the new regime.
