NEW BASE BALL TEAM.
Local Enthusiasts Will Place Fine Team
in the Field for the Coming Season.

A number of base ball enthusiasts in
the city have started a movement to
secure base ball team 60 play in this
city during the coming season, which
will properly represent the city on the
diamond. All the former players in
the city are taking an interest in the
deal, and negotiations have gone far
enough to permit the managers of the
team to correspond with six ex-state
league players and they will all come
to Kenosha if the team is formed. The
team will be independent and will not
seek membership in any of the state or
interstate leagues. The management
of the team has already taken steps to
secure ball park and an option has
been taken on a piece of ground near
the city.
A good base ball team in Kenosha
would be paying proposition and it
is to be hoped that the proposed plans
will be carried through.

A PLEA FOR TEACHERS.
Taxpayer" Sends an open Letter to the
School Board in Regard to Teachers.

School Board in Regard to Teachers.
To the School Board
Don't change the time of hiring
teachers. I am not personally .inter-
ested, but like to see Kenosha do as
well as other cities, and the best teach
ers are engaged before going to their
summer vacations, SO that if you decide
not to re-engage your old teachers you
will not have as good field to choose
from as earlier. And it seems unfair
to teachers to keep them in suspense
until the best positions are all filled
and their chances of employment else
where are 1essened.
If the new board are of the kind to
take proper interest in the schools,
they can know something of the stand
ing and capabilities of the teachers
without waiting until election day, OF
choose competent principal and trust
his estimate of the subordiuates. Any
way, if they go about it, it need not
take many weeks to judge of the
teachers fitness, with the results of
two-thirds of the years work before
them to add to what they observe of
daily methods. Consultation with in
tel1igent pupils and patrons may also
contribute to prompt and wise deci-
sion.
Many of your constituents, fear,
are inconsiderate and not unselfishly
concerned in the highest good of all, so
realize your position is not an easy
one and offer these suggestions in all
sympathy, only wishing the best inter
ests of our city. TAXPAYER.

Cuba's Relationship.

According to the agreement recently
adopted and signed by the Convention
in Havana, it is the desire and doubt
less the purpose of Cuba to plant itself
on a platform of National independ-
ence, and to hold with reference to all
peoples of the civilized world the re-
1ation of purely autonomous govern
ment, to maintain it's selfhood and
sway il own sceptre. But this is pre-
cise1y what the United States intended
for Cuba when the President, sup
ported by the strong right arm of the
American people, declared that Spanish
rule must end in the island, and Cuban
liberty be assured.
Again, according to the convention,
the Cuban government substitutes it.
self for the United States in the pledge
which they assumed in the treaty of
Paris, proposing to meet all obliga-
tions and enforce all international
laws that stand for the protection of
| life and property. This is a declara-
ton of independence underscored and
re-emphasized. and means the Cuban
flag in the ascendency, the Stars and
Stripes lowered, and an adieu to the
| United States soldiers and seamen.
But the United States extinguished
Weyler and anrihilated the Spanish
fleet for this very purpose. It was in
harmony with our plan that the Cuban
fag should in due course of time be
substituted for that of the Union.
The Convention also announces that
the Cuban Government will not per-
nit its territory to be used as a basis
for war against the United States, or
against any foreign power. Certainly
this is friendly and pacific, ard. would
be of untold value were it not for the
closing words of the last preamble,
viz: "The Convention considers the
relations lasting if future govern ments
consider it advisable So that unless
the pivotal word is the plural govern
ments, unless it is understood that both
the Cuban and United States govern
ments must be parties to change OF
relations, the 6nal words of the pre-

Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is bet
ter than two of mixed paint.
The American House at Tannersville
(Catskill Mts. J, N. Y, Chas L. Wiltse,
had two coats of mixed paint five years
ago; last spring had two more coats of
the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but
got his mixed paint few cents less
Right across the street, Chas. Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the same
time-last spring.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in Thousand
knoWs-that gallon of one kind of
paint can contain twice as much paint
as gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even if you have it given to you.
At the same time, you see, that Mixed
Paint appears to have worn five years
give the devil his due
Yours truly,
