Such an action is a disgrace to the and aa insult to the entire country^/ "Mr. Book waiter, who is spoken of as the possible Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, is interested in a flying machine. The success of his invention and the gratification of his political as- peration seem to be mere matters of opinion.* iG^Sockless Simpson is going to stump Ohio against McKinley, and the people of that state, says the Chicago Journal, " will have a chance to compare a frontier policical buffoon with one of their own best men, a scholar, a politician and a statesman." fSPGovernor Fifer has signed the Sen­ ate bill making New Year's, Washington's birthday, Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Christmas, Labor Day, Thanks­ giving, and Feb. 12 legal holidays. When such holidays fall on Sunday the Monday following will be a holiday. l®"*From, the returns made to the Sec­ retary of State of the vote in the 12th Judicial District, composed of the coun­ ties of tfoone, McHenry, Lake, DeKalb, Kane, DuPage and Kendall, candidates for Circuit Judges received the following vote: Willis, 6,798; Upton, 6,741; Kellum, 6,294; Lyons (Dem.), 1,785. W$' •fif The Charleston News and Courier says Cleveland must be candidate, and tariff reform the issue in 1892. This probably marks out the Democratic pro­ gramme, despite the talk about Hill, Gray, free-coinage and other muddling factors in the situation. Nothing would suit the Republicans better. l9*To speak of steel rails affects the free trader very much as the sight of, a red rag does a mad bull. But duty to the public requires us to remark that the. steel rail mills in this country made in 1889 1,691,264 tons of steel rails and In 1890 2,091,798 tons; and that the average price last year was f31.75, as against f 166 in currency or $ 138 in gold in 1867, before their manufacture w began in .this country. IfiT The importation of rags formerly worn by yellow fever patients created a great disturbance in this country in 1862, and it was a dastardly deed. But it was pitiful and meager in comparison to the importation of unwholesome, undesirable, mentally unequipped, mor­ ally diseased and physically dirty immi­ grants who overrun us as the locusts did the Egyptians. It is quite tim* to eall a Salt and mean it. Uo Side XtaraM. « Roger Q, Mills sayn of the Farmers' Alliance men in Texas tlint tliov are "al­ most without except ion in favor of the Democratic party for all party measures. They are Democrats first and Farmers' Alliance afterward. The Democratic party has nothing to fear from the Alli­ ance in my state." Mr. Mills may or may not- speak with accurate knowledge of the situation, but his remarks should put Republicans on guard and impress them with the neces­ sity of being loyal to their principle and steadfast in their party allegiance. Let no Republican play into Democratic hands by following cranky leaders and grasping after impossible reforms. The Prohibitionists have heretofore done underhanded work for the enemy, and they should be permitted to monopolize that business. Besides the; Alliance movement is sueli a patchwork of ab­ surdities that there is no excuse for any sound-minded citizen beiug led away by it. If Mr. Mill's boast in regard to Democrats be true, let it lie known that Republicans are equally tenacious of their views and faithful to their convic­ tions. Let them be Republicans first and Alliance men (if at all) afterward. There is nothing that would please the Dem- crats so much as to kick up a dust around the real issues of the coming cam­ paign, and so blind the eyes of voters that they will lose sight of the questions that are to be determined. In that way only can the party of free trade and 80- cent dollars hope to succeed. The way to defeat this scheme is for Republicans to keep their minds clear, their heads level, and their fidelity uncorrupted. Side issues and new parties have no place in the coming struggle. The battle will be between armies, not mobs. The Republican army must maintain its discipline, its loyalty and its equipment. So doing, nothing can stand in the way of its winning a grand national victory. Compliment* to Journalists. , - Prof. Price, of Columbia College, has good taste as well as good judgment. He has carefully studied newspaper writ­ ers and arrives at a very flattering con­ clusion as to their literary merits. He says: Their sharp and rapid manner is often, in my judgment, the perfection of real style. In truth, to Btate my own opinion frankly, there is not, in our American literature of to-day, either in books or in magazines, or in published sermons or lectures, or speeches, any body of written English so strong and effective, or even so correct, and in the true sense classical, in point of style, as we find, day after day, in the best editorial writ­ ing of our American newspapers. The Great Southern Problem. Capt. J. A. Pine, of Fernandina, Flo­ rida, writing to the News of May 30th, said: But some day, in some way, we will all pay the penalty of his truckling to southern bluf^and bravado." We call the attention of the people of the North to this statement. Its truth- fullness can not be questioned. Cringing to the slave power cost an awful sacrifice of human life. Truckling to the same over-riding bravado now is encouraging another monstroas evil that will "some day, in some way," have, to be subdued. The republic cannot always survive with a vote in the southern States counting for more than twice as much in Congress as a vote in the Northern States. These wrongs will have to be righted. The sooner it is done the less will be the cost. Men may inveigh against the discus­ sion of this question and call it section­ alism. They did the same regarding slavery. The men who speak against such wrongs are looked upon as agitators and abused as disturbers of the public peace. There are always good people who prefer ease and quiet to right, if right must require the sacrifice of com­ fort. But, as Captain Pine says, we are crying for peace when there is no peace-- for a peace that does not and never will exist until this southern question is settled and settled right. How long will the people of the North sit tranquilly by and witness such rank injustice as is done to the Republican voters of the South without raising their hands and their voices for its correction ? 1^" The following is Senator Ferguson's WO, passed by the Legislature, which will become a law July 1st, next. It pro­ vides for punishing any person who pro- cores liquor lor a minor or habitual drunkard: Every person, whether the keeper of a dram-shop or not, who shall buy or in nay manner procure or aid in procuring any wine, rum, brandy, gin, whisky, lager beer, hard cider, alcohol, or other vinous, malt, spirituous, fermented or mixed liquors or any intoxicating liquor what­ ever, for any minor without the written order of such minor's parent, guardian or family physician, or shall procure or aid in procuring any of said liquors for any person intoxicated, or who is in the habit of getting intoxicated, shall for every such offense be fined not less than f 20 nor more than f 100, or confined in the county jail not less than ten nor tJ1,rty day«. or both, in the discretion of the court. I®" The following law allowing women g tO vote in this State at all school elec­ tions, was the last act of the Legislature before adjournment: Any woman of the age of 21 vear* *nA upwards belonging to eithef of the classes mentioned in Art. 7 of th* atitution of the State of w°ho shall have resided in this State one vear in the county ninety days, and in tho efcction district thirty days preceding the election held for the purpose of choosing any officer of schools under the general or special school laws of this State shall I*e entitled to vote at such election'in the School district of which she nhall at the time have been for thirty days a resident Provided any woman so desirous of ;v,/ voting at any such election shall have Men registered in the same manner, as is provided for the registration of male voters. Whenever the election of public school officers shall occur at the same election at which other public officers are elected, the ballot offered by any woman entitled to vote under this act shall not contain the name of any person to be , voted for at such election except such Officers of public schools, and such bal­ lots shall all be deposited in a separate ^ paUot-oox, but can valued with other fe ballots cast for such school officers at WKheteetom. « t -„?,#• <•' v*:%. * ' V VV>»>-%3t Ho State Debt. In an .editorial on the census bulletin giving (RtatlwticN tm to National and Si ate indebtedness the liiter-Oce&u used tho figures of the bulletin which gav« Illinois a debt of $1,184,907. This was an error. Illinois has no debt. As our special correspondent at Springfield points out iu a dispatch printed in an­ other column, the only tiling iu the shape of a bonded debt in Illinois is the amount of $19*500 in bonds which have not been presented for payment, thongh called for years ago. The State of Illinois has no debt and has about $.">,000,01)0 'treasury.--Tnter-Orean. IfiT'VVilmington, Deleware lias been carried by the Republicans. Their major ity on the city ticket is 000 as against a Democratic majority of 1.700 two years ago. The result this year is a protest against boss ism, rascality and general mismanagement. It is predicted that the transformation may extend ali over the state next year. 1ST" The deaths of pensioners reported to the Pension Bureau aggregate about 8,000 annually. It is estimated that not more than four-fifths of these deaths are reported, the department only gain­ ing knowledge of the demise of the other one-fifth by the continued absence of the pensioners on pay day. It is estimated that between 35,000 and 40,000 old sol­ diers die annually, hence, unless new devices for paying pensions to citizens and their nearest kin are deviBed, the pension roll will be greatly depleted withj in the next decade. A few days ago the New York Tribune published a long article, in which a careful and candid statement was made of the condition and prospects of the American tin-plate industry. After ex­ amining the ascertained „facts, many of which have already been published, the Tribune summarized its conclusions un­ der six heads as follows: 1. That our people for years past have been paying too high a price for the ar­ ticle of tin-plate. 2. That there is no climatic or mechan­ ical reason why tin plates cannot be eco­ nomically produced in this country. 3. That the question of wages paid to the workers in this business is the only one that needs to be met by our tariff laws in the establishment of this in­ dustry here in the United States. 4. That the men who are entering up­ on this industry promised Congress and now promise the American people to pro­ duce better and cheaper tin-plate made here in the United States than has been furnished to our consumers for many years past when the supply has come en­ tirely from abroad. 5. That a large number of establish­ ments are preparing to enter upon this new industry, and that a considerable number are now making roofing tin and bright tin plates, some of them for their own use and some for the open markets in this country; and that while the out­ put is as yet small compared with our enormous consumption, it is sufficient to demonstrate the feasibility of the under­ taking and to show that there is business sense in doing the same thing on a large scale. (i. That the manufacture of tin-plate will in a little while be one of the great industries of the United States, and will result in the saving of at least $30,000,- 000 each year to American labor, and to American producers of lead, steel and coal, lumber and other commodities, and that it will surely reduce the price of tin- plate, as similar laws have heretofore re­ sulted in the reduction of the price of other forms of steel and all other kinds of goods manufactured by oar own artisans. Nothing could be more judicially fair than this summing up of the case. There is no buncombe, no exaggeration, no par­ tisanship. Why will not the free traders be content to let facts tell their own story? Why do they try in advance to discourage all advances in the new enter­ prise? Their course thus far has been a most extraordinary development of men­ dacity, apparently aggravated by an in­ sane desire to injure their neighbors, i he exhibition is not creditable and it *i no^ accomPli»h its purpose. Theevi deuce is all on the side of a successful tiS?^ industry, and protec- f i® afford to await the issue events, especially considering the GRANDMA says it is 20 years since she made such good bread as this. She says GlLLETT'S MAGIC YEAST Is Ulcere yeast she used to make herself, and she hopes she will never have to do without it again; and we all hope so, too. Call for it at your Grocer's.
