KOVVKIjI, A OO.'S Newspaper Advertising tlureau (10 Spruce Street), where advertising vonirncta may be ~ ~ i«Uluo for it la JlNJjj VV ^QRK< i«i' |^"Bntter on the Elgin Board oi Trade If on day dropped to 29 cents, against US cents a week ago. One year ago the was 25 cents. *ir New Orleans has been the scene of a most disgraceful affair, it being the lynching of eleven Italians who were ^Charged with the crime of murdering Chief Hennepy, but whom the courts had jailed to convict, it is said through the bribery of jurymen. Mob law is deplor- wt)le, but that theffe are times when it seems almost justifiable, all must admit. *Fhe Criminals and thugs of other coun­ tries must be made to understand that they cannot carry on their murderous '• iphemes here with impunity. They will jHo well to heed the lesson of New Orleans. fSP~It is reported, and seems to be gen •#fally accepted as a fact, that a deal al- :5 teady made for the judicial succession, • whereby Judges Wilson and Kellum are to be shelved afid two attorneys who claim residence in this district but who practice in Chicago, will take their places. Judge Wilson is advanced in years, it is true, but mentally and indeed physically lie holds his own with much younger men. He has done more and better work than his two associates, Kellum and Upton combined, and is to-day the best judge we? presiding over the Kane county cir- eoit court. We believe it would be a mis­ take as a party measurers it would be a Wong to place in nomination a judicial ticket selected not because the chosen can­ didates ha ve by their achievements at the bar earned promotion to the bench, but because they are shrewd politicians. It :*rould surely be resented by the peopfe Who are not part of the machine.--Elgin Courier. •. te^They have a curious case over in Bockford, says the LaSalle Tribune: A ' young lady of that city claimed to be a man and insisted on wearing male attire. investigation by medical experts was made to determine her BOX. She was f~, t found to be a perfect woman physically, but to have the attributes of the mascu- v-' line mind. The court ordered that she should thereafter wear a woman's dress. One of Itockford's physicians said to a . newspaper representative: "There ought V'J * to be only the utmost sympathy felt. U'.;It's a very sad case and her friends feel ' • most poignantly the publicity that has •• been given. She is physically a perfect VV",' Woman, but a monomaniac in this one ?. direction. She longed to be a man and . ' that longing has grown so intense that #he even believed herself anatomically ^ different from other women, and told ©there she was a man. There's nothing ^ Whatever in it, save the poor girl's fancy." , It is not so very uncommon for some |swomen to long to be men. Will The Conple Explain. * X There maybe no investigating commit­ tee of the Legislature or of the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association to inquire into the secret negotiations which led to the voting of Moore and Cockerell for I'almer, but those gentlemen need not ^ flatter themselves that they can slip from • view without trial before the court of public opinion. Theindictmentmay take the form of questions propounded, rather than charges formulated, but the trial will be none the less thorough on that r> account, nor the verdict the less severe. The first question to present itself is, . why was the pronunciamento of this • precious pair signed and delivered to the Democracy at least a day before the de­ livery of those two votes to Palmer? Was that document in the nature of a contract? Was the celebrated poker v ', game with Coekrell which immediately preceded the delivery the price of the for­ mal withdrawal of all farmer candidates . signed by Coekrell alone, or did it take in the votes also ? Above all, was that pre- ballot contract signed and delivered be­ cause Moore and Coekrell insisted on /-payment in advance for their votes, and such payment in advance was refused, except on condition that they would first sign and deliverthe document in question, so that they could not afterward go back on the contract? It is well known that somewhat early ' in the campaign Mr. Coekrell had a good deal to say about being approached with bribery money, and the virtuous indigna tion with which he spurned tthe tempter will be readily recalled. Not so very long after that two prominent Democrats while leaning on a Springfield bar and under the influence of liquor, had enough to say about a $10,000 package of money to fit in with and give color to Cockrell's cljalm that he had been approached. In / "view of these facts and the subsequent developments some very pointed inquiries • W® liable to arise. When a man is offered money to do a disreputable act, refuses it, and tells it, and he afterwards does the very identical act, is it not legitimate to ask, What was the consideration ? If Coekrell and Moore were really honest ^ and believed and desired to promote the principles of t he F.M. B. A. organization, why did they confine their attempt to elect some one to represent those views to any one man? The Republicans ac- , cepted Streeter, but were not tied to him nor yet to Lindley. Assuming, for argu­ ment's sake, that the two farmers had good reason for dropping Streeter, why did they not go to some other prominent F. M. B. A. man, instead of precipitately delivering themselves over to Palmer? The written contract is a lantern that throws light on the whole dark business, except that it sheds no illuminating ray upon the bottom inquiry, viz., the am ount of the consideration. That poker game will hardly serve as the missing link in the chain of developments, unless there was more than one refusal to call a pair f j* 4mo« on a full htm^.-Iot^Oceafi. A Lttter from Gap* Cod, XMMohtuMtta. EDITOR PX.AINDIULKU The eotwtant coming of McHenry's paper to our hduie is a great pource of pleasure to us, as vi*e still have a few of the dearest friends there that we have anywhere, with whptn we hold regular communication, and addition thereto, there comes so many little notes and notices of those we knew so well that gives us very much pleasure and some, we regret to say, which cause us sorrow and sadness, as it does those it ao closely concerns. But the world is full of the unlooked for, because we do not wish the unlooked for to come. But it was not of these serious things that we wished to write, but of Cape Cod and its peculiarities. Hereon the "Cape," we do aofc feot at home so much as among inland people. We were not born a sailor and don't want to learn, and most of the men heie are seafaring folks. There is a very marked difference between them and in­ landers and no doubt we seem as strange to them as they to us. They are quite clannish, yet hearty, frank and well vorsed in their line of life. It is laughable to hear them talk of inland matters, be­ cause of the large developement of ignor ance concerning such affairs; but when they "open out" on seafaring matters, foreign countries, the habits and charac­ ter of other people, then the laugh and ignorance change places and we are "behind the light-house," and finally conclude that the good sense and uni­ versal knowledge is not possessed alone, by one side of humanity, for we have learn­ ed very many things of which we werenot sure and many more of which we knew nothing, until we learned it here. Thus can the the human mind become con­ stantly and by degrees a walking Cyclo­ pedia--if we will. If there is any other section of America where people live more barren than this, so far as fertility of soil is concerned, then we don't want to see it, only as a curiosity. Sand, sand, sand, until one is tired of the everlasting sand, except the low bogs and swamps, dug over, roots out, ditched and drained and leffel- ed off, then flooded at the pleasure of the owner, having water gates for that purpose, and usually water covered all winter long. Costly to make, but when they get to bearing, (in three years from planting) they are a very profitable crop* giving from one to two hundred dollars, gross, per acre and no cranberries in the world excel those of Cape Cod. Further down the Cape there is 'a very profitable industry being developed, where the land is suitable, and that is raising asparagus for the Boston mar­ ket*.-*! saw one piece of little over an acre from which the proprietor sold over $1,000 worth in the spring of 1890 And now a company is formed to pre­ pare and plant 100 acres, besides which there are many small pieces. Living is very high here, Beefsteak is 25 cents per pound, butter 30 cents, lard 10 cents, oats $2.05 per bag of three. bushels, corn 80 cents, hay from $15 to $20 per ton, potatoes $1.50 per bushel, apples 75 cents per peck, &c. Salt water fish are usually plenty and reasonably cheap. We are about ten rods from the sfelt water, and can go and dig < lams in five minutes. There is very little snow ever comes here so near the sea shore on the Cape. We are 79 miles southerly from Boston and quite a good ways from any where else, as we have to go there in order to go else where. Well, for fear of being too lengthy I will just say that on the first of April, we shall go to Bowdoinham, Maine, to take the pastor ate of a Universalist Church, for this one is not that by any means, but is a very radically agnostic, free-thinking society, and not suited to my line of either thought, or conviction; therefore 1 leave for work that suits me much better. Mrs. B. with myself would be very much pleased to see our personal friends in McHeury but find it hardly possible, so we send greetings, from Yours very truly, B. BRUNNINO.
