CHARLES H. PFENNIG, the nominee
of the Republicans for Mayor, has not
the honor of being native of Keno
sha, although he may fairly be said tt
be Kenosha product. He was borr
| in Neenah, Wis.,, and came TO Kenoshs
with his parents in 1873 when but two
years old and has resided here ever
since. He received his education ir
the peoples college, the public
schools of the city. After working his
way through the various grades into
the High school, he was greatly disap
pointed at being unable to complete
his course there, but was compelled tc
leave in his third. year to assist his
his business. Although comparative
ly young man. Mr.. Pfennig has al
ready made for himself an enviaD1e
reputation in the business world of
Kenosha. He is noted for his sterling
honesty and his painstaking attention
to details. He would make an ideal
Mayor and could be trusted to give the
city safe, economical, strictly honest
business administration. He is not
inexperienced in the methods employed
in transacting the city's business. He
has Just finished term as Alderman
from the Second ward and his service
in the Council has made him familiar
with all the details Of the city's bust
ness. He was no figure head in the
Council, but took an active interest in
all matters that came before that body.
He was faithful, trustworthy repre-
sentative of his ward and will make a
faithful guardian of the interests of
the city. He is just the kind of a man
needed at the head of the city govern
ment-a good business man with a
clean record. During his term as AL
derman he has been an earnest student
of municipal matters and probably has
as thorough an understanding of what
Kenosha needs and what it is desirable
and possible to accomplish as any man
in the city. The convention could not
have made better choice of a man to
head the ticket IN the campaign for
better municipal government, and if
elected the interests of the city will be
safe in his hands.

The News is much pleased with the
acknowledgment of the indebtedness
of the Democrats and the people gen.
orally to the News, made by the Daily
Democrat. It is always pleasure to
feel that our efforts are appreciated.
Coming from the source it did, the
compliment was all the more pleasing
because unexpected. The News is not
accustomed to being complimented by
that wing of the Democratic party
represented by the Daily Democrat.
In it's fight for better municipal gov
eminent the News has had thes'sup-
port and encouragement of q many
Democrats who have the best interests
Of the city at heart and who were as
much Disguised by the actionsof certain
men who occupied seats in thesCouncil
as any of our citizens. These Democrats
are the men referred to as "croakers"
by the campaign organ Of their party,
They are instructed to 60, way back
and sit down, and above all keep still.
They may be allowed to vote, but they
must not talk. They might influence
"hesitating" Democrats if they did.
The Democrat does not seem to have
much doubt as to the way those.ssame
"hesitating" Democrats would vote if
the men referred to as ''croakers" had
any influence with them. IF you can
not do this, (vote to "vindicate'' the
present administratian), the best thing
you can do is to refrain from croak-
ing" is the way the Daily Democrat
putsit.

THE present administration has had
entire charge of the city's finances for
the past three years and the city is o
the verge of bankruptcy. How long
would you trust your private affairs to
such management? Don't you think
it is about time the city had a chance
to get even? What is there to show
for the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars expended anyway

WHILE havin no desire to speak lily

If the people of tie city really want
a first class administ ration of the city's

Thousands Of people have catarrh who
would be surprised to know it, because
1t has been called some other name than
oatarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, and another fact
which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half of the people are afflicted more
or less with 1t in some FORM Previous
to the discovery of Peruna, catarrh was
considered well nigh incurable. Since

Some idea of the work performed by
the late Archbishop Corrigan may be
gathered from the following: The Cath
Ollie population of the see of New York
is about 1900 600 In ten years 1876. 1928
children and adults We're prepared for
confirmation: 132O.029 confessions were
heard; s80.484 persons VIE baptised;
1912 marriages were celebrated. There
is one theological seminary. where 200
young men are trained for religious
work there are four colleges, with an
attendance Of 1900; 70 academies for
hoys and 80 for girls. with an attend
ance of $500; 200 parochial schools. with
an attendance of S. 600; eight orphan
asylums. with 5000 children: nine indus
trial and reform schools with $500 chill
dren; 20 homes for destitute children,
caring for 10000 children annually, ten
hospitals. sheltering 5000 persons; a
founding asylum. with 1000 inmates.
and many other charitable and semi
charitable institutions. The church edi-
fees in the see of New York exceed 300
in number and the church property is
valued at ss0.Oo0.o00. on which the in
debtedness is less than 81. 900. 900.

Major Gorgas, chief sanitary officer of
Havana, says in his last report: We
have been at work just one year killing
mosquitoes and have spent in the
neighborhood of $50. 900. employing con-
stantly an average of 100 men. The re-
turn from this expenditure is represent
ed by the determination of yellow fe-
Yer. which annually cost 400 lives, and
the saving OF $50 lives per annum from
malarial fevers This does not take into
account the decrease in the number of
sick VINO recovered and who do not
show in the mortality statistics Pro-
badly nobody expects that the Cubans
win continue the good work begun by
Major Gorgas, after setting up house
keeping for themselves. When the isl
and asks to be annexed which it is
almost certain to do in time, it is not
improbable that all Major Gorgas' work

of this course. If the administration
is really in earnest. let it go ahead and
enforce the law. But, even with the
best intentions and ablest management,
relief can not be reasonably expected
from litigation at an early day. Indeed,
there is no certainty of relief at any
time through that course, however Wig
orous and carefully devised the prose-
cution. The history Of proceedings un-
der the antitrust law during the twelve
years OF its existence Is quite the re-
verse of encouraging to the hope of help
to the people from that quarter. Still,
as we have said, it VIII be we'll to push
right on, even If congress proceeds at
once to the performance OF what should
be a welcome task-repeal Of the cattle
duty.
The duty is SS.75 a head on cattle
worth not more than $14 head, and
2I12 per cent on cattle valued at high
er price. The repeal OF these taxes would
let in cattle in large numbers from Mex
leo and Canada-cheap cattle from the
former to restock the ranges that are
said to be depleted; fat cattle for the
butcher from the latter. A duty Of 273z
per cent on meat under existing condi-
tions IS an enormous abuse OF prOtec-
tion-an abuse which is utterly indie
feasible and can not be satisfactorily
and spellbinders and candidates of the
Republican party in the congressional
campaign that is about to open.
Not only the cattle duty, but the tariff
on all carniVerOus foods, including pork.
veal mutton. poultry, and the cents a
pound on dressed beef should come off.
The Chicago Tribune-the leading news
paper in the city that Is the citadel OF
the meat combine-declares that the
consumers, to whom dear meat means
less or no meat think all lawful methods
should be used to combat a natural or
an artificial scarcity of meat or other
necessaries. So intense is the desire of
the masses for cheap meat that, to get
1t, they are ready to enter the Holy Of
Holes, where rest in the Ark Of the
Covenant the tables of the Dingley law.
and expunge all its provisions which OPP
crate to tax the food Of the people
In an emergency like this It is folly to
talk Of waiting till congress can make a
thorough revision of the tariff before the
cattle duty and other meat taxes are
touched. This" as old DR.. Young says,
is an occasion that demands dispatch, -
and if the party in power fails to meet
the pressing demand Of the occasion it
viii incur a great and needless risk OF
decisive popular condemnation.
We can think of thousands of posi-
tons less distressfully embarrassing
than that Of a candidate for congress in
a close district trying to defend the 273z
per cent tax on beef in this year Of our
Lord 1902 The chances are ten to one
that the opponent Of such a candidate
would win an easy victory.

striking freight car. Casualties thus far
ascertained are a man named Anderson,
killed and one woman injured.
SAYS NO ONE WAS HURT.
General Superintendent Resseguie denies
that there were any fatalities or injuries
in the wreck at Revere. The dispatch
from the trainmaster of the Chicago divi-
sion states that No was derailed at 10
a m. today at the west switch at Revere
by an axle on the head sleeper breaking.
Four cars left the track The report states
that the derailed cars are in good posi-
ton, and that the track will be open for
traffic as soon as the stock track can be
connected uD-
1.-THE report that a man was killed and a
woman injured must be a mistake, said
Mr.. Resseguie. Our traipmaster reports
no one injured The wreck was in all re-
spects fortunate one, as such things go.
There was no collision with freight car.
No equipment was smashed up. The wheel
of the car did not break. It was the axle. "

HANNA HAS FIGURES.
Promises Something About Gen. Wood
If Rathbone is Bowled Over.

Chicago. May 1.-THE correspond
ent of the Chronicle telegraphs from
Washington as follows:
Senator Hanna is much inclined to
take the warpath in his effort to secure
from the president an order either lifser-
ating E. 6. Rathbone or providing a
new trial for him. The senator has
called at the white house every day for
weeks in Rathbone's behalf and now
seems inclined to believe that the pres
ident will turn him down. Today q
newspaper man who knew RathbOne in
Cuba and also knew much of Rath-
bones official environments, called on
Senator Hanna and offered his services
in Rathbone's cause.
IF need you I will send for you,
said the senator after listening to the
young mans statement. If the presi-
dent does not act upon RathbOne's case
by May 90 I want all of you newspaper
men to come around and see me and
will give you some facts about General
Woods expense account which win
make" spicy reading. I have all of
the figures"
