IfcSTFroma manifentcurecently issued ve learn that Mr. Mureh, the regular democratic noininee for the Legislature, does not propose to be crowded out of the field by a bought up and fixed up IState Committee, but will remain in the Held until the polls close in November. , Iflr A lull in politics is natural during |f'-the hot weather, but it should not be I? allowed to prevent an earnest effort to J get out a full vote in November. A heavy vote is an almost invariable guarantee of Republican success, and although this t Is an off year there is no reason why any V,i voter should neglect going to the polls. „ lfiP* An exchange truiy says: "A con- *%eieucele88 Democratic Congressman may fitand in his place and announce that he •*%» "for his party, right or wrong," but he simply proclaims his shame. He is a po­ litical wanton. It is a strange assertion ;fco make, these days of weakening party tie*1, when parties are really better than ; the men. The general purpose seeks public good, or pretends to. If it were Hot for this parties could not livea day.' THREE REPUBLICAN*. From thft Boone County Banner. Since the Democrats or' this Senatorial district have failed to settle with satis­ faction who is the nominee of their party for Representative, there seems to be no longer a question about the advisability of putting up a third Republican candi­ date. There is a good chance to have this district represented by three Republi­ cans in the next General Assembly. If the Democrats insist upon quarreling over the oyster there is no reason why some good Republican should not settle the dispute, according to the fable, by giving each Democrat a shell and swal­ lowing the meat, himself. The Banner has already expressed its preference for R. .T. Beck as the third candidate. Since he was elected for the short term we consider it no more than just to give him a chance for a full term. Some, however, think that a Boone County man would make a stronger candidate, as McHenry County already has one candidate, Mr. Southworth, and also as Mr. Murch, one of the Democratic candidates, is a Boone County man. Mr. Beck liinself is very unselfish in this matter, and appears willing to forego his personal interests for the interests of tfie party. This is very commendable in him. Several Boone County men have been spoken of as possible candidates among the most prominent of whom are D. C, Cowan, Geo. Reed and R.W. Wright. We could offer nothing but favorable comments for any of these men. Iff"One of the G. A. R. trains on its way to Boston had an experience that recalls war times. At Syracuse on the Central railway the men threatened to abandon the train but the "vets"' were equal to the occasion. Among them were engineers, firemen and brakemen They told the would-be strikers they might quit if they wanted to; that they would run the train themselves. The Knights concluded not to strike. (^"Phocion Howard has warned Gen eral Palmer to drop his free-trade speeches if he wishes to be elected. If Phocion only knew how the general is handicapped on all other iesues he would not embarrass him by such a demand at this time. Palmer cannot make another campaign against Pinkerton detectives and antihorse thief associa­ tions when he is asking the horse-thief catchers to support him. The old man has had trouble enough in his search for an issue and should not be discouraged in his freetrade efforts.--Infer Ocean. R "Some 600 to 700 of the G. A. excursionists, bound to Boston, had serious time going down the St. Law rence river. The upper deck settled and jammed the tiller chains so that the boat could not be steered. This was at the last rapid, and the boat struck rock, whirled around and so wentthrough the rapids, bumping from rock to rock with no steerage. As might be supposed there was great alarm among the pas­ sengers, who thought they were lost, but they came out safely, the hulls of these boats that run the rapids being built very strong. tfiFRockford has been thoroughly in­ censed with the outrageous operations of the impudent impostor, Schweinfurth, and on Tuesday evening five hundred representative citizens met to devise some plan for the suppression of this in­ famy. As a preliminary measure a com­ mittee of ten prominent citizens were ap­ pointed to wait upon the pretended Christ and notify him that his harem must be transported to some more con­ genial community. Should their warn­ ing not be heeded the result promises to prove disastrous to Schweinfurth and his deluded followers. 19^ We have passed Ohio at last and Illinois is now the third state in point of population. There are 3,800,000 of us lllinoisans, with a village ortwotoBpare Most of our gain of 725,000 has been made in Cook county, which has added 95 per cent in ten years' or practically doubled, while the rest of the state has increased but 6 per cent, the large gains of cities of Elgin's grade being in part offset by diminutions in agricultural dis­ tricts. In 1880 a little over 19 per cent of the total population of Illinois was in Cook county. It now has 39.3 per cent The political power of that county is therefore increased decidedly. If there be one congressman for every 180,000 persons Illinois will have twenty-one instead of twenty. Of these six will come from Cook and a seventh district must be made up from the remainder oi Cook and some outside counties. Of the sena­ torial districts sixteen will have to be given to Cook, which at present has but ten. What the New Census Will Find It will find forty-two states in the Union instead of thirty-eight. It will find the nationnl debt reduced from over •2,120,000,000 to less than $1,700,000,- 000 and the national revenues larger than ever before. In the largest cities, where fonr and five story buildings were considered en­ terprising for hotels and office structures in 1880, 1890 will find giant houses thirteen and fourteen stories in height, sky scraping affairs, with elevators run­ ning to the top. It will find the new houses fitted with steam and hot water heat instead of fires--a house at a sum­ mer temperature the winter through, with never a hint of smoke, dust or ashes about it. Great natural gas fields, un­ known in 1880, havetgiven anewimpetns to industry. Telephones enable us to speak to our friends 200 miles away or our neighbor in the next block at will. The modern apartment house has revo­ lutionized the way of living of poor people in citiw*. With the bath-room, the electric bells, the dumb waiters, the neat­ ly finished light rooms, the man who can only pay a small rent has more conven­ iences than the millionaire had a gener­ ation ago. The new census will find electric lights where the last census found gas and kerosene. It will find electric and grip cable roads where 1880 had clumsy, old fashioned omnibusses and horse cars. It will look along over 150,000 miles of glittering railway tracks, girdling and cris-crossing the country, where 1880 saw only 93,349. In the last ten years steam has shortened the distance across the ocean by nearly a day. The new census will behold the first fruits of that gigantic co-operative idea which is the distinctive feature of the last quarter of the Ninteenth century, and born of this idea the developement of such colossal industries as history never recorded be­ fore. It will see much mining and manu­ facturing enterprises in the south as no­ body dreamed possible till now. In brief it will see a new south out and out. An­ other fact it will meet will be $150,000,- 000 cold cash from Great Britain invest­ ed in industries in the United States, where the movement had hardly begun ten years ago. Oh, jes! The census of 1890 will find us a happy, healthy, prosperous people, richer than we ever were before, at peace with all mankind, and, please God, the idea of co-operation and human brother­ hood only in its infancy as yet. May it steadily grow till the next census, and may 1900 and likewise all our readers witness together its full, glorious flowering! The Blind. One of the leading charitable institu­ tions of the State of Illinois (of which too little is known) is the Institution for the education of the blind, located at Jack­ sonville. The object of this Institution is "to fit blind people as far as possible, for earning their own livelihood and for future usefulness in society. To accomplish this, two distinctdepart- ments have been established--a school and a "shop." In school, pupils are taught the same branches that receive attention in the common schools of the State; but since blind people must "see with their fingers," the kindergarten is made prominent, and manual training is continued throughout the entire cftprse. Music, too, receives a large share of at­ tention and many become self-support­ ing through their skill as music teachers and performers. In the shop, those who are musically inclined may learn piano tuning; others learn to make brooms, to cane chairs, to mske mattresses, to weave carpet*, etc. The girls are t&ugbt to sew, both by hand and with machines, to knit, to crochet, and it is proposed to introduce basket makingandthe man­ ufacture of nets and hammwks. Type­ writing is also being successfully taught to the blind and experiments are being made in teaching them machine stenog­ raphy. Letters are sometimes received at the Illinois Institution asking how mnch it. costs to educate a pupil in this school, the writers evidently supposing that the expense must be borne by friends of the pupil, unaware of the fact that the State of Illinois offers, without charge, board, tuition, and necessary medical treatment to every blind resident of the State who is mentally and physically capable of Trotting Bred Stallion Colby's Swigert --REGISTERED IN-- Wallace's Trotting Register, STANDARD DEPARTMENT Volume 8.

It begins to look as if the coming winter would be a hard one for poor people, as the partial failure of crops here and in the west is sending the price of eatables up out of sight. For instance since the dry spell canned tomatoes have advanced from 75 cents a dozen to $1.30; canned corn has gone up 25 cents a dozen, and peaches, which were formerly from $1.50 to $1.65 a dozen, can't be touched now short of $2.30. Even canned pumpkin has taken a rise of 50 cents a dozen. The common navy bean brings $1 a bushel more than before the drought. Butter has begun to advance fully three weeks earlier than it has before in ten years There is another thing which the failure of crops effects even more than eatables and that is railroad companies. A rail road company is a very sensitive concern It scents a crop failure from afar. Al­ ready the C. B. & Q have countermanded some of the orders at the Aurora shops •ad begun to retrench, the Expresa says. GAME LAWS. What You Are at Liberty to Kill* if Ton Can, and What Ton Must Let Alone. Abreviated copies of the game laws have been scattered about town. They state that-- You can kill pinnated grouse or prairie chicken from Sept. 15 to Nov. 15; ruffled grouse, quail pheasant or partridge from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1: woodcock from July 15 to Sept. 15; squirrels from June 1 to Dec. 1. Duck, geese, brant or any other water fowl (such as coot or mud hen. rail or water hen) from Sept. 15 to April 15 of the following year; and it is unlawful to kill or attempt to kill them between sun­ set and sunrise of the next succeeding day, at any time of year; or from any blind or ambush placed outside the reeds, canes flag or wild rice, or from any sink box or sneak boat; and it is unlawful to shoot, kill or destroy, or shoot at any goose, duck, brant, or other water fowl from any sail boat or steamboat, or with a swivel gun at any time of the year: and it is unlawful to have any of the birds or animals mentioned in your possession when it is unlawful to kill them. receiving the instruction of the school or of learning one or more of the trades taught in the shop. Moreover, those not totally blind are received into this school, provided the sight is so defective as to debar them from being educated in the common schools. The trustees of this Institution desire to bring within its walls all the educata- ble blind in the State. During the last school year one hundred and eighty-sev­ en pupils were enrolled. It is believed that there are twice this number who ought to avail themselves of the benefits of this school, and the State has already provided accommodations for an in­ creased attendance. Let all who know of-blind people, or of persons whose sight is so defective as to render them incapable of obtaining an education in the coinmou schools, com­ municate the facts at once to the Super­ intendent of the State Institution at Jacksonville, Illinois. The n6xt term of this school will begin Wednesday, Sep­ tember 10,1890. Swindling: Farmers. A young man giving his name as Morris Brown, has been out canvassing for oats in the southern part, of ltac-ine and Kenosha counties, and he took in several farmers badly. After engaging all the oats he could hear of, he gave the farmers checks on Chicago and Milwaukee banks. As a guarantee that they would furnish the oats at market price, he demanded $5, the checks being made out to cover the dost of oats and also money advanced. It is said that the young fellow left fourteen checks in one locality, and got from $1 to $5 on each one. Of course it was discovered that the checks were worthless, and the poor granger swallowed his experience and kept mum. The supposition is that the young fraud is practicing the swindle in other locali­ ties. He should be collared and handed over to the nearest officer. -- Ravine Journal. Church Fair.
