It is a difficult matter for many to understand why Easter Sunday is a moveable feastand comes upon different dates every spring. It was decided by the council of Nicea,A. D. 325, that Easter Sunday should be the first Sunday after the first full moon,after March 21st. As this full moon occurs April 4th, Easter Sunday is April 9th. This is the most important festival of the Christian year, in commemoration of theresurrection of Christ. A large number of festal days are dependent upon this one,many dating before and after it. Its observance is universal throughout the Christianizedworld.

A MISCONSTRUCTION
The following local which appeared in last week's NEWS was handed in by one of ourreporters and is liable to misconstruction:

“The cattle fair last Monday was quite largely attended and considerable tradingwas done. We understand that the law requiring peddlers to pay a license will bemore strictly enforced henceforth than it was heretofore and so the number of gatherersof live stock is expected to be reduced.”

This refers only to those peddlers who have neglected to take out a State license. The city cannot ask license of buyers of livestock, but will be glad to see as manyas possible here in the interest of farmers who have anything for sale. The cityonly requires license from peddlers who come here on fair days to sell goods andfrom no others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE NEW ELECTION LAW
The new election law under which our city officers will be elected on the first dayof April next, forbids the making up of a people's or citizens' ticket, hence theRepublican and Democratic parties are the ones which alone will be recognized byour county clerk in ordering and furnishing the official tickets. It is certainlynot good or advisable to draw party lines in our small community, but such seemsto be the law.

However, the citizens can chose whom they please on election day. The manner ofvoting, etc. will be fully explained in English and German posters. The Turn Hallwill be prepared according to the requirement of the law on election day. Our republicanfriends held their nomination last evening, but as THE NEWS is printed on Tuesdayafternoon, we cannot give the ticket nominated. The Democrats will meet to-nightto make a nomination also.

The provision contained in Section5 of the law whereby no person shall accept morethan one office seems to be unconstitutional. The right of the people to choosefor instance, one and the same person for alderman and also for justice of the peace,cannot be prohibited?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
FARMERS' INSTITUTE
The programme for to-morrow, Thursday and Friday, will be found in to-day's NEWS. We printed the same as it was sent to us, and when the Council was in session theTurn Hall was engaged for these meetings. The farmers and citizens will, we hope,see to the music, as it seems that the circulars calls for it. If none is engaged,there is ample time yet to do it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE CITY TICKET
We shall elect our city officers under the new election law, called the Cooper law,which we hope may work well. The boys got out a call as usual for a citizens' meetingto be held without regard to party to-night, but under the new law a citizen ticketseems not to be recognized; hence, we understand that the call was changed to a democraticcaucus. We believe that politics should have nothing to do in our municipal election,but the County Clerk may not recognize a citizens' meeting under the law and refusethe printing of tickets. To obviate this possibility the change was made.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
To-night at the Turner Hall. Come one and all as much more depends upon making nominationsas in former years, since the Cooper law is in effect.

THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE
The Farmers' Institute held here last week came off according to the programme published. The attendance was not very general. Of our citizens, Messrs. McGINLEY and BARKHAUSENtook an active part. The institution is a good thing perhaps to some farmers, butthe pocket money of $12,000 to the lecturers paid by taxes from the Treasury of theState during the winter, is not bad either. We did not learn that the reasons forthe low prices of all farm produce and the steady old prices of what the farmer needs,were at all considered. This would have been more important to our farmers thanto tell them how to raise wheat and barley, when they can get no living prices fortheir produce and have to pay the old high prices for everything.

FREDONIA CORRESPONDENCE
No more dog-fights, no more cock-fights in Cedarburg and vicinity seems to be thewatch-word at present, after the “humane society to prevent cruelties to animal”has been formed. It is a laudable enterprise, and if the members of the societyshall do their duty, they will deserve much praise. First of all I would suggestthat their acts of humanity should not stop with protecting the dumb brutes, butwill extend them to the bipeds of the genus homo. As a rule the societiesof that order, from Mr. BERGH of New York, to Supt. WHITEHEAD of Milwaukee, onlyseems to see such acts of cruelty to horses, dogs, cocks, etc. while under theirvery noses the greatest outrages are committed against members of the human family. For instance, there are two brothers each working hard for an honest living. Oneis a cripple, he owns an old plug of a horse that generally limps more or less, andwhich he uses for carting whatever he finds to earn some money. If he puts on aheavy load or drives a little too fast in order to fulfill his engagements and notlose his job, up steps a gentleman like Supt. WHITEHEAD and causes his arrest andpunishment for cruelty to animals. In the mean time, his brother can find no otheremployment to earn a living for himself and family than digging and shoveling atthe excavation for a basement of a large building to be put up. Quicksilver rangesbetween 90 and 100 in the shade. The man feels dizzy, big drops of perspirationappear on his forehead, the heat overpowers him - he is sunstruck! A petrol wagontakes him to his home in a dying condition. The humane society does not interfere. They explain that he could speak. Why did he not quit working before he was sofar gone that he must die? But he had complained and was told that if hewould not work at present he might go home and somebody else would fill his placeas long as the job lasts. Now, if he stopped he was out of employment and his familywithout their daily bread. He had to face it, whatever the consequences.

But these humane societies are founded only to look after the welfare of quadrupedsand bipeds of a lower order, than the human family. Since they will not even allowa poor man to drive his old plug too fast, it is earnestly to be hoped that the Cedarburgsociety shall turn out in corpore next fall, at the time of the county fair,and stop those senseless horse races that invariably take place. What earthly benefitdo the farmers derive out of horse races and race horses? Farmers as a rule haveno use for such horses, they do not raise them, and if fairs are held to promotethe prosperity of the agricultural causes, why should those races take place? Theowners of those horses are no farmers, even if they own a couple of acres of land. They are pursuing some other business, and if they own land they have it only asa speculation or as a stamping ground for their fast horses, in short, they are farmers(unreadable).

The next point to be considered is the treatment of those horses, and the dangertheir drivers and others are constantly in. Solely for the pleasure of the richmoney bags, these horses are driven at a fearful speed, and many a one was made worthlessin one of those racing matches. Look at them after their rounds are made. I haveactually seen the blood spurt out of their nostrils, and some, after such a crazydriving were crippled for life and unfit for any purpose. Speaking about the dangersthe drivers are in, I will mention but one instance. A couple of years ago, at Bostona boy of sixteen years of age, the only support of his widowed mothers, was thrownto the ground with the horse he was riding and literally crushed to pieces underthe hoofs of the other horses in the ring. Where was Mr. BERGH, where was Mr. WHITEHEAD,where were the members of the humane society at the time? Probably they were notthere; for running valuable horses for the pleasure of the aristocratic sportsmenis no harm, and if a poor boy employed by one of those nabobs loses his life in aterrible manner, these humane societies have no business to interfere; he could speakand keep out of that danger if he wanted to. I do not care what sportsmen say aboutthe above, but should like to hear what other farmers think about it. If they thinkthe horse races necessary and profitable to the farmers, they should explain. Iam quite willing to hear their argument. - A Farmer

(Our correspondent is evidently not a horse man, but many farmers are making moremoney by raising good horses than from anything else on their farms. These believein a race track to test the speed of their stock in order to get corresponding prices. Many farmers here sold horses for the average prices, when it was discovered thatthey were worth thousands of dollars, but the original owner never had a chance totest their speed and compare them with other horses on the track. - ED.)

FREDONIA FARMER
In attacking the Humane societies our farmer friend is evidently under the impressionthat these societies are rich stock companies whose duty it is to furnish all mossbacks with plenty of money and provisions. Does he also believe that Supt. WHITEHEADis an omnipotent being prescient and universe? Does he further believe that Supt.W. is able to attend to all the work arising in the whole state of Wisconsin whenwith all the efforts he is not able to attend to all the work prevalent in the cityof Milwaukee alone. He also suggests that they should extend their power to thebipeds of the genus homo, ignorant of the fact that thousands of helplessor abandoned children and persons annually find relief through the help of the humanesocieties. If he will send a stamp to the secretary of the Cedarburg branch forthe latest reports, he will find that his suggestion is far too late. He furtherseems to hint that the aim of the societies is the arrest and prosecution of alloffenders; whereupon we refer him to the report of 1885, on page 23 (Annual Reportof the American Humane Association) where he will see that during the years of 1883,'84 and '85, 3496 cases were investigated by the Wisconsin Humane society alone,of which 68 prosecutions of cruelty to children and 50 for cruelty to animals tookplace, 613 children were rescued, 51 furnished with homes in private families, 196placed in charitable institutions, 54 girls rescued from a life of shame, 792 sickor destitute persons were relieves, 138 horses rescued by reprimand to drivers, 234laid up from work, 25 removed by ambulance wagon and 108 disabled were shot. Thesenumbers have been immensely multiplied since and from them the reader will see thatour friend is minus all information of the society.

Again in contrast to his argument, there is less need of protection for men thanfor animals at present. From the first dawning of civilization to the present time,the great study of mankind in all nations has been how to protect men. For thisthere are parliaments, congresses and legislatures; armies and fortifications; courts,magistrates, churches and schools; home and foreign missions, alm houses and reformatoryschools, peace societies and charitable organizations, hospitals for the sick, theblind, the deaf, the dumb, the insane and inebriate; prisoners, children and providentand societies; homes for the poor, aged, orphans and consumptives, all these andmany others, ever working for the protection of men, while until the past few yearsthere was not a single society for the protection of (unreadable words).

In the city of Boston alone, there are at present 134 organizations supported byprivate benevolence for the protection of men, not counting the scores of alm-houses,protection and provisions offered by the government, while there is only one societyfor the protection of animals.

The Wis. Humane Society is doing an immense amount of good work, their object isappreciated and promulgated by every moral citizen their Supt. R. D. WHITEHEAD righteouslydeserves much praise, and it is to be hoped that since our enthusiastic Fredoniafriend is so much interested in the societies as to send his suggestions abroad,he will not mind to donate a V or an X or to propose his name as an active member,and if he is accepted as such, he will be able to accomplish more good in that waythan with his present modus operandi, and he may wear his badge with prideand honor in Fredonia and elsewhere. Furthermore, he may rest assured that the societywill turn out in carpore and do their duty to the best of their ability. -A Member

Mrs. G. GOETZE spent last week visiting relatives in Milwaukee.

In politics, matters are getting warm. Since the caucus R. STELLING who was nominatedfor mayor and G. BIEDERMART who was nominated for alderman have declined to run. The committee filled the vacancies by nominating Chas. A. MUELLER for mayor andH. L. COE for alderman, both being republicans. The caucus being a democratic caucusand the committee appointed being the democratic city committee, their action inplacing two republicans on the ticket has been severely criticized, and perhaps moreso because of the doubts as to whether or not the vacancies should not have beenfilled by a caucus called for that purpose.

The assuming by the committee of a doubted power does not give satisfaction. Itis even reported that a part of what was done was pursuant to a pre-conceived planof a few designing persons. If this is the case, the people should show the disapprovalon election day. It is too early in the existence of our city to have it run inthat way, any attempt should be nipped in the bud.

Aldermen GILSON and MORGAN are in the field for re-election.

On Sunday night last, several minors were again drunk and noisy. Now is the timeto say whether such things shall be allowed or not. Let people on April 1st speak,and speak fearlessly.
