During the live years previous to 1886 the errors S>f all kinds In that branch |of the service were only 958.639. The trouble, Ion and annoyance caused by this "re­ form" are a partial ansver to the Claims that the efficiency of the public Service has not fallen off under Demo­ cratic administration. MFNearly every republican news­ paper In Illinois oppose Cnlloms Inter* itete commerce bill for the reason that Its long and short haul provision ^discriminates against the west and in favor of the east aad against farmers, mechanics, consumers and producers and in favor of railroads, capitalists ^Kand middlemen. Many prominent ^republicans express the opinion that Its enforoement will result greatly to the disadvantage of its author, Sena­ tor Cullom, and finally locate him ^permanently in private life, because ,. *he farmers, mechanics, producers and joonsumers will be damaged and will denounce the bill and its originator. abundant evidence, we think, to show that every party leader, figuratively speaking, will "hang separately" long before the Presidential election,--New IfarJL Herald Bretfiren of the Press: We nave a plan, which, if put in operation, will we believe, result in making an inde­ pendent fortune for eaeli and every publisher In the United States, and en­ able us to vie with railrOad magnates la esse and opulence. It Is this: Let us join hands, and induce Senator Cul­ lom to have a bill passed by Congress providing that all publishers in the country will charge the same rate per hundred for all kinds of bill printing whether a large or small number Is pointed; that we shall ;be paid the same rate per hundred for ten thous­ and or twenty thousand bills as for a single thousand. That would be about the fattest thing for the press that we can conceive of. It any publisher can suggest anything better, we shall be glad to hear from him. It Is exactly. Identically thing that Senator Cullom, in the long and short haul clause of his Interstate commerce bill, has doue for the railroads of this country. Journal lets are certainly entitled to »s fair treatment at the hands of the public's Senator as railroad sharks and monop­ olists. They may not have done as much to put htm In position and keep bim there as the said "sharks," yet some of them did their best, and that's all anybody can do. Therefore we think our plan may not prove entirely Impracticable.--Illinois Republican, • WTbi Rahway, N, J. murder Is Still a mystery and aeoms likely to re ataln on*. The remains of the mur­ dered woman have been burled. 3for« than three weeks have elapsed sinoe the dead body was found, and there is yet no clue to Its Identity, nor the perpetrator of the horrid deed. .The probability of Identification will lessen with the putting away of the tody aad the lapse of time. This is a disheartening conclusion, but unavoid­ able. That such a erlpe can be com­ mitted in a thickly populated district, near a city, and* as the evidence of frozen footprints shows, in the early bonrs of night, yet no trace be found to the identity of violins or murderer would be thought incredible but for the stern facts. JGTThe Avon CHI.) Sentinel sayl: "Cullom's inter-state commerce bill is causing no "little comment, and the more airing it receives the more shaky points are discovered. The fact that the leading railroad magnates are openly in favor of it, would show that they have nothing to fear from it. While the best authorities seem to be "at sea" concerning parts of the bill. It appears to be the general belief that If it wasn't gotten up on purpose for a railroad measure then it has been botched into one. The burden of the bill will rest oc the farmers and western producers generally, while the east and moaopolies are preferred. One thing seems to be generally ad mitted, that Cullom's Interest In the bill has politically doomed him. WHEAT WANTED.

No, he has not met the expectations of any party, and has no enthusiastic friends anywhere, except among his newly appointed offloe holders. Has the Democratic party under Cleveland made any progress what •vcr In redeeming Its solemn pledges to **anearth the stupendous frauds of the Republican party ?" No, it has not moved an inch or done a single act to show the people that any "stupen. dous frauds" ever existed. Has the party reduoed taxation? Ko, not a single dollar. Has the party reduoed what it called tbo "Iniquitous tarlfl?" No, and It i sot likely to do so, and it probably will not during the coming two years. What has the party doae to fulfill Its oampalgn promises? Nothing whatever worth naming, Is there any evidence whatever that tbo party win or ean unite and hang tegethcr In the support of Grover Cleveland for re-election? No, there la not.

Jabez Carr was the outgoing director. The Entertainment given on Wed­ nesday evening last, for the benefit of the Cemetery Aid Society's Sidewalk Fund, was well atteuded, and every­ body seemed well pleased with it. There is now In the treasury about 960 and the rnueh talked of sidewalk will probably be commenced soon. On Thursday evening the Entertain­ ment was takea to Solon, where It was listened to by a small but appreciative audience.

Speaking of Bands reminds us that the time will soon arrive when the programme of the County Fair will be issued; and perhaps a suggestion or two upon the subject of music for it would not be out of place here. Sev­ eral years age, when the subject of our County Bands furnishing the music for the Fair was introduced, It was put aside upon the plea that our bands were not efficient enough to supply It Now, however, since It baa been tried and has evidently given satisfaction couid not some plan be adopted where­ by all our county bands might be en­ couraged? There are, we believe. In the countyat least twelve bands. Could not seme plan be adopted wberebytbey might be encouraged and at the same .time the Fair be supplied with music? We might suggest a tournament, oiler ing three or four prizes;all bands with in the county being eligible to contest for it. The prizes to be awarded by competent Judges.
