I®*Governor Fifer has ordered a •pedal election in this the Eight Sena­ torial District for July 15, to elect a suc­ cessor to Elijah M. Haines in the House ol Representatives. iVJast as we go to press we learn that the State Convention at Springfield yesterday, nominated Fran* Amberg for State Treasurer, and Rich aril A. Ed­ wards for Superintendent of Public In­ struction. IfiT1 Five months ago every Democratic journal in the land was howling for mortgage statistics. To-day almost every one of them is howling against the gathering of such statistics, denounc­ ing the inquiry as unconstitutional, im­ pertinent, brutal, and almost everything otoe that is bad. It is sstrange what in­ sincerity is displayed p^) the Democratic journals. On many ideations they find it necessary to make a change of base, and to not only swallow what they have already said, but to go as far in the op­ posite direction. ffiTLiving in some localities in and around Streator this State, is somewhat ticklish at times. Not many mouths ago a man woke up one morning and found hie house and lot had dropped about six feet, below grade, and on Wednesday while a man was dragging on John Bran- hart's farm in the edge of town, man, horses and harrow suddenly dropped down some twelve feet, and it took half a day to extricate them from their perilous position. The whole region is being undermined for coal, no precaution being taken against caving when mines are abandoned. I®* Aurora is in luck. The bill provid­ ing for a government building at Aurora, and making an appropriation for the same has passed both houses of Congress and has been signed by the President. The passage of this bill has been secured through the efforts of Mr. Hopkins. Aurora is the only city in Illinois to se­ cure a government building this session, although numerous other bills have been introduced, and it is doubtful if any other cities will be so fortunate before Congress adjourns. Aurora people have learned one thing about Mr. Hopkins and that is that he generally gets what lie goes alter .--Aurora Beacon. |©-fhat the claim of free trade Demo crats to the effect that taking off the duty cheapens the price of commodities is a sham and a deception is proven by the fact that the price of coffee is advancing. There is no tariff on coffee. A Republican Congress put tea and coffee on the free list just as the present Republican Con gress will put sugar on the free list. But after all, sugar, like tea and coffee will be cheap or dear according to the supply. A short crop will increase the price; an excessive crop will lower the price. * This is true of commodities genenerally. The attempt of Democratic journals to charge every unfavorable condition of the mar­ kets to the protective tariff is simply nonsense. Ff* the Rlohmood Omnte. Let us Have Three. In our last issue, under the heading; of "For Representatives" we made the sug­ gestion that the Republicans of this dis­ trict place a third candidate in the Add for member of the legislature; This sug­ gestion was made as the Democrats have made their customary split and thereby gave their opponents a chance--and a good one, too,--to elect all three repre­ sentatives from this district. "Figures never lie," and we give our readers the result of the vote of 1888: Harrison received 8,453 votes in the district and Cleveland got 4,215. If we had had three candidates at that time, and if the vote had been equally divided, each would have received the same as Harri- sou--8,45M votes--while the Democrats could have cast (">,322 for each of two. But as the Republicans only had two candidates, many voted for either Haines or his opponent, who would have voted the Republican ticket had we had three candidates in the field. Even with this desertion the two Republican candidates received 11,785 and 11,716}$ votes re­ spectively, while the Democrats only re­ ceived, one 7,072, the other 6,913.

Our f next legislature is in doubt, there is no use in trying to disguise the fact, and i' is the duty of the Senatorial Committee to place a third nian in the field. While we may have our personal preference, that amounts to nothing; we will chew- fully support aoygnod Republican. The election of that extra member may de-' cide the complexion of our next legisla­ ture, and so also decide who will be our next United States Senator. Again we say 'iet us have three," for by an equal division of the vote, which can be had by hard work on the part of our two nom­ inees, and the several town committees, we can send three Republicans from the 8th District. Will you do it? The Gazette further says: "The Mc­ Henry Plaindealeu is found this year as in times past, advocating the placing of a third Republican candidate in the field for member of the State legislature.

In its article the situation the Pimindealer "booms" Captj. Chas. H. Tryon, of He­ bron, for the position. Mr. Tryon has | "been there," and made a good record. The Gazette can, and will, do all in its 1 power to secure bis election if nominated. This is the first gun of the campaign; more will follow. - Alter copying our article on the] ative question last week, the Belvi- •orthwestern says: pv;:. Northwestern joins heartily in the t and sentiment of the Plainokalkk ie as to the main question. We be­ lieve the third Republican Representative can be elected and it is plainly the duty of all Republicans to see that it is done. Any man whom the Committee having this matter in charge may suggest, will undoubtedly be satisfactory to the party In their deliberations on this point, how ever, we would suggest that they bear in mind that Hon. Geo. Reed, of this coun­ ty, is one of those staunch and able Re publicans who would fill the position with credit to himself and to the best interests of his constituency. If he can he induced to become a candidate he would receive the cordial support of his ;:®«rty. Bow a Republican Works. The draughtsmen in the constructive bureaus say that while this ship (the new 8,100 armored cruiser) was being de­ signed, they saw Secretary Tracy more than they had seen all other Secretaries ol the Navy put together for twenty years. He was in the habit of spending hours at a time with them, standing at their tables, making them explain their work to him, find suggesting what he wanted done, in this way the ship be­ came known in the department as the "Secretary's Pet." When the time came for drawing up the form of contract he •cat the term of construction down to thirty months, and stipulated that she must be completed by Jan. 1, 1893, and fixing her time penalties at $200 per day from March 1, 1893, his. idea being to compel her completion within his present term of office. This is the largest ship ever built for Hie American navy. As she belongs to tile class required by law to be named alter States it is rumored at the depart­ ment that she will be called the Pennsyl- Tania, which it will be remembered, was A the name of the largest sailing man-of |; war ever built in this country. 1®*The split in the Democratic party of this Senatorial district, and the nom­ ination of G. W. Murch, of Belvidere, and J. C. Donnelly, of Woodstock, by the two opposing factions, gives this district a fair chance of being represented by three Republicans in the next General Assem­ bly. The Republican Senatorial Con ven- tion gave the Central Committee dis­ cretionary power to nominate a third candidate for representative if circum­ stances later on should render such Ac­ tion advisable. The quarrel in the Dem­ ocratic ranks last week is sufficient to de­ cide the question. Let the third man be nominated by the Republican Central Committee, and it would be an excellent stroke of policy to nominate a farmer for a change.--Boone County Banner. Higher Tariff and Cheaper Plows. The eternal fact is as cruel as the re­ morseless figures toward the gentlemen who amuse themselves by howling, "The tariff is a tax!" ^'Theamountot the tariff is added to the pri<;e of the goods." Here comes the British Manufacturer, a London journal, of June 2, 1890, and says: A great many iron-works in Russia have corn meuced the manufacture of plows sin(« the tariff duties on machinery have been increased. These plows beingcheaper (than those previously imported) begin to compete with even those of German make. In the article from which this is quoted it was written concerning the Russian trade for the year 1M88 : At Rostov-on-Don, the chief emporium for agricultural machinery in this part of Russia, about 0,000 plows, mostly of German origin, 1,000 reapers, ."00 mowers, 500 hay rakes, 200 horse gear thrashers, and r>5 steam thrashers, with engines, were sold during the year. All the steam thrashers wereof English make; the reaper**, mowers, and hay rakes were supplied by the United States; but En­ glish and American, especially American, plows can not com bete with the German as rcgardw price, being much too expen­ sive. "Hut in one year the import duties having been increased," the Russian iron workw are making cheaper plows than could be had from Germany--which, as we have just Been, was the cheapest for­ eign market in which Russia could buy them. Now, we propound our old riddle to the free-trade press, how can it be said that tariff ig a tax,' "tariff duty is added to price, when, "the import duties having been increased, the Russian maker sells a Russian plow for less than the German plow was sold for under lower duties? --Inter Ocean.
