They frame it and then charge as high as f 15 for the frame. Well your "Uncle Samuel" has taken these concerns under his capacious wings as frauds and they will wind up that kind of business in short meter. One less way of swindling the public now exists. MT A railway across the ocean will be the next enterprise for modern genius to undertake. A French engineer some years ago wrote a paper in which he assumed that at a depth of say 600 feet the water of the ocean is of such density | that it will sustain any object which can possibly be placed upon it, and then pro- j oeeded to propose the construction of a railway across the Atlantic by sinking a continuous line of iron tubes in which a double track could be laid for the run-] ning of trains from continent to co fluent. IffiT Colonel Cockerill in his new paper, the Advertiser, promises that it will I "cherish the institutions which have made this Republic the happiest and most prosperous on the earth," and I "will be at all times American in every bone and fiber. It marks out bravely an "independent" course. But if the Adver­ tiser's independence is like that of other J independent Democratic newspapers] of New York the term will count for little. There are no more bitter partisan sheets \ than the so-called "independent Demo-1 erotic" papers of New York city. The Farmer* Prosperous. The Eastern loan companies which have conceived the idea of exacting gold on farm mortgages have selected a singu­ larly inopportune time for any attempt to bulldoze the Western farmers. They were never more prosperous than they are to-day. The high prices realized on grain since the last crop was harvested gave them a chance to dispose not only of that crop bHt of the surplus on hand from other years to good advantage. There is every prospect of an enormous yield this season of both wheat and corn, which are almost absolutely certain of high prices, owing to the European shortage. Chicago does a large business in farm mortgages. One concern, which has out over $f>,000,000, assures us that their only anxiety is to place these mortgages as they come due. At least 86 per cent of those due June first were paid off at maturity, and those falling due soon are likely to pass this record. So far from demanding renewal on a gold basis the Chicago agencies are at their wit's end to keep the money entrusted to them loaned out at all. The farmers west of the Missouri River are prosperous, still farther west, as far, in fact, as the rain belt. The inevitable effect of the era of pros­ perity which our farmers are now enjoy­ ing will be to lower the rate of interest. Tbe farmers will find themselves able in all likelihood to negotiate loans on bet­ ter terms now than when the mortgages just maturing were negotiated. The ten­ dency of the money market for all' kinds of loans is downward, and not upward. The class who live on the interest of their money must choose between lower rates and poorer security, and if they have good sense they will prefer the former to the latter, and it is conceded by all intellegent loaners that farm mortgages are the safest of all private securities. The farmer may be a little irreuular in the payment of interest, but the property is improving in value all the time, and the danger of absolute loss is almost a minus quantity.--Inter Ocean I®"" Judge Kellum has done most excel­ lent work during the twelve years he has b^en on the bench and his ability entitles him to a promotion. We presume, how­ ever, he would prefer to remain in the work of the district, but some of his friends think he should go up higher. The Elgin Democrat says: "Of the can­ didates elected Judge Kellum has been twelve years on the bench and ranks as one of tile oldest and best qualified of the circuit judges in the State. The bar of the circuit, were it not indispensable that . iie should remain on the circuit would like to see him on the appellate or su­ preme court bench." Truth Outrun by a Lie. The loss of memory to R.B.Hayes should be regarded by him as a blessing if it in­ cluded only certain events in his life be­ tween 1876 and 1880.--New York World. Give a lie one day the start and the truth has about as much chance of over­ taking it as the Charleston had of ! over­ hauling the Ixata. The fiction in regard to Mr. Hayes' failing memory was evolved in the brain of a newspaper cor­ respondent, more enterprising than scrupulous, and started on its travels. Necessarily the contradiction was one day late, and although it bore the mark of authenticity, it is still behind and los­ ing ground steadily. A spicy lie is far more nimble-footed than the more pro­ saic truth, and when the lie chances to have a political bearing it receives as­ sistance in various quarters in its efforts to elude the elude the pursuing truth. In all probability Mr. Hayes' memory was never better than it is to-day, but thanks to the sprightly lie, more than one-half the reading public has the im­ pression that he cannot remember the I times 8, often continuing until 6 p. m., JUDGE ISAAC O WILSON. From ibe Uoneva, IlL, Republican, i;i "Neyer before was the community so shocked and startled as on Monday evening, when the report of the death of Judge Wilson passed from mouth to mouth. • "For several months the Judge had not enjoyed his usual good health, but had, with a few short exceptions, attend­ ed to the duties of his office; Last Sat­ urday he was unable to rise from his bed and his case became serious and a nurse was engaged. He continued to fail and was at times delirious. On Monday he seemed much brighter and had a long talk with his son Frank and gave minute directions as to the manner in which he wished his funeral to be conducted, and for the disposal of his watch and other valuable articles. At 6 o'clock, p. in., he complained of hunger and ate heartilj/ At about 7:30 he was left in charge of the nurse, who called the family a few minutes later, stating that the patient was dying. He gasped, stretched out his bands and was gone. Isaac 6. Wilson was the only son of Hon. Isaac Wilson, one of the earliest and most highly respected settlers of western New York, and who was the first member of Congress from Genessee coun­ ty. He came of a family in which the judicial faculty'was inherent. Hisgrand­ father filled a judicial position, in the State of New York and his father was the first judge of Genessee county, N. Y. Deceased was born in Middlebury, N. Y., April 26th, 1817, and was the only son in a family of seven children. After an uneventful chidhood and youth in 1834 he entered Brown University. His class was notable for the men in it who afterward became eminent. Among them were Charles S. Bradley, afterward Chief Justice of the State of Rhode Island; Thomas A. Jenkes, for many years mem­ ber of Congress from the same State and author of the bankrupt act of 1867; Ezekiel G. Robinson, afteward president of Brown University; and Txeo. jf. N. Lothrop, the eminent Detroit lawyer. "Mr. Wilson came to Illinois in 1838 immediately after graduating, his father having preceded him three years, and en­ tered the office of Butterfield & Collins, at Chicago, as a student. The firm men­ tioned was then the leading one in Chi­ cago, and also in the Northwest. In 1840 he returned East and entered the Cambridge law school, graduating the following year and receiving the degree of Bachelor of Laws, after which he was admitted to the bar at Concord, Mass. "In August, 1841, he returned to Chica­ go with the intention of practicing his profession there but found the field al­ ready over-supplied and located in Elgin, where he opened an office and established a lucrative practice, which steadily in- ereased for ten years, when he was elected circuit judge. x For gixte^years he served the people in this capacity and accomplished an amount of work that will seem incredible to judges of to-day. Personal fatigue was unthought of in his desire to keep up with the business of the court. He opened court promptly at 9 o'clock and some- And surely celebrate in apparel no* only stylish but cool, of the best ma- terial^aml bought from our large stock M BOCK BOTTOM PRICES. -- xxxxxxxxxxxx-- NEW, STYLISH AND COOL ess Goods, In black and Popular Shades. mported and Domestic Henri­ ettas, Cashmeres, Serges, Tricots, Summer Flannels, Nun's Veilings, Challies, Brilliantines, all Wool Bunt­ ings, Lare Buntings* Our stock of above goods Is very complete, with prioes guaranteed the lowest. 0ALTIIHRI;RJY EXAMINE OITR LINE oir Cotton Dress Goods, Consisting of febe newest and most stylish fabrics and colors, with prices way down.

IBP* A Denver inventor is perfecting an instrument that, as a wonder worker will outrival the phonograph and telephone. It is said that the new invention, the sotograph, does with light what the phonograph does with sound; and by a combination of the two instruments will reproduce a scene, for example, reproduc­ ing a speech with the pictureof the speak­ er and his jestures so perfectly that one could hear and see everything associated with the scene. It will photograph, re­ cord, reproduce and perpetuate pictures of objects in motion. The zotograph will be very handy for illustrating the Coo- ffressional Record. events oi the preceding day, and that im­ pression retards the progress Of truth at every jump. This seems to be one of the cases where wickedness prevails and the j race is not to the slow. MW- I®" The Sycamore Republican, in •peaking of the death of Judge Isaac G. Wilson, says: "He was in his 81st year, and had been unwell for about four weeks but his sudden death was entirely unexpected. Judge Wilson was among those who had served longest on the • bench of Illinois. He was considered a jurist of highest order and was personally popular among the people of the Dis­ trict. He was defeated for renomination at the late Kane county judicial conven­ tion by the machinations of personal enemies, although without question he Was the first choice of the people5 of the District. His defeat seemed to break his .heart and his death can be directly Attributed to the results of the campaign Which was so bitterly made against Itim." I®" Secret ary Forstr's order directing the transfer of immigration inspection from the local authorities of Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore to the exclu­ sive control of the federal government, is calculated to establish an effective em-1 bargo against the flood of European paupers and criminals now pouring into this counnry. The federal authorities took charge of New York over a year ago, and the extension of the order to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston com­ pletes the chain of exclusive federal con­ trol along the Atlantic coast. The order is to take effect on the 1st of August, and in is the intention of the government to sift out the paupers and criminals that have been permitted to land since the 1st of January and send them back at the expense of the immigration steam­ ship companies who have brought them hither. He Struck The Bight Han. The other day an important looking gentleman took a seat beside a quiet man in an Arkansas railway carriage and began a conversation. "I'm going up to Little Rock," he said, "to get a pardon for a convicted thief. I'm not personally acquainted with the Governor, but he can't afford to refuse me." "Is the fellow guilty?" asked the man. "Of course he is: but that niakes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me $500 if I get him out, and the thermometer is very low when I can't get up a good talk.

"In 1867 he left the bench and opened an office in Chicago, associating with himself Col. H. T. Yalette and Gen. Benj. Sweet, of Camp Douglas fame. Upon the dissolution of this firm he formed a part­ nership with Hon. Emery A. Storrs, and subsequently with Sanford B. Perry, with whom he^bontinued practicing al­ most entirely in the Federal courts until 1879, when he was re-elected circuit judge, and soon after designated as mem­ ber of the Appellate court, of Chicago, of which he was chief justice two years later. "In 1843 Judge Wilson married a daughter of the late Scott Clark, for many years a prominent Boston mer­ chant. Mrs. Wilson was a lady of un­ usual accomplishments and rare judg­ ment, and was much given to deeds of charity. She died in 1877, leaving three sons and two daughters. One of the latter died soon after her mother, In 1875 Judge Wilson visited Europe and investigated the judicial methods and customs in different countries. He was received with distinction everywhere he went and his reports on judicial pro­ cedure in the countries he visited are in­ teresting and instructive. In 1887 he was united in marriage with Miss Carrie Fisher who bore him one child, a sweet little girl now three years old. Judge Wilson was an honored mem­ ber of the Masonic lodge, and "the G. A. R.
