I®" Governor Fifer has appointed Chap. A. Partridge, Col. James A. Schaffer and Col. Fred C. Pierce a committee to visit tine Northwestern Military Academy and ihspect the discipline, courses ot study and general management. M' IfiT Miss Kilbourne, who last week be­ came the wife of General John M. Scho field, is twenty-six while her husband is * sixty-two. An elder sister at twenty-two married General Barneby, of New York, aged seventy. There is still a younger sister left, and she is reported as having a decided choice for old beaux. Such par­ tialis lor the antique in marital matters is rarely manifested among bo many in one family. I6T"Since Jake Kilrain, the Baltimore pugilist, was recently so badly punished by Frank Slavin, the Australian, the de­ sire to win more laurels has been fresh­ ened in the mind of champion John L. Sullivan, he now declares himself anxious to meet the slugger troin the Antipodes and show him a few American tricks. The doughty John does not relish seeing his countrymen vanquished by blarsted foreigners, ye know, and proposes to come to the rescue. -fc. GOVERNOR FIFER'S POPULARITY. There is no question that Governor Fifer is to-day a good deal more popular man than he was a year ago.'i He may have made mistakes--and what man has not?--but in his administration of hie high offce he has 'displyed a wonderful degree of statesmanship and good judg­ ment, and, greater than all, common sense. He is affable, easily accessible, and has a way of making friends eyen of those whom he is compelled to disappoint. In other words, he possesses tact-- won­ derful tact. Governor Fifer was not the choice of Peoria 'Republicans before he was nominated. But he got their entire and undivided support after the nomina­ tion, and has been growing in their esteem ever since. As the Transcript has never {ailed to criticise when it believed criticism was deserved, it deems it but just, at the dose of a session where the patience of Governor was never more tried, to pay this deserved tribute to aa e&ceUe&fc official.--Peoria Transcript. * of '• - (c A Voice from Eg-jrpt. The Vienna (Johnson Co.) Times Hth, has the following editorial in rela­ tion to the Senator from this district as a prospective candidate for Congressman at-large: * As there is to be no redistrictang of the State by the present legislature there will be two Congressmen-at-large to be .elected on the State ticket at the next general election, Illinois having gained two Congressmen by the last census. Hon. Chas. E. Fuller, of Belvidere, Boone county, is mentioned as a probable can­ didate for one of these places on the Re­ publican ticket. Mr. Fuller is now repre­ senting his district in the State Senate, and has been a member of the Senate and House for 14 years. He is an eminent lawyer, 40 years of age, and is regarded as a clean and able legislator. He was the leader of the Hepublican side in the memorable Logan fight of 1885, and performed a like part in the late Sena­ torial struggle. He is a ready debator, and one of the best parliamentarians in the State. He lives in the banner Repub­ lican county Senatorial and Congres­ sional districts of the State. He is held in high esteem by all who know him, and he never asks his people for anything but what he gets it. The Republicans will make no mistake in placing such a man as Senator Fuller on the State ticket, be­ cause he will prove a popular candidate and strength to the ticket. KoKXNUrT'S PROSPECTS. It is agreed on all hands that the cam­ paign in Ohio will not only be one of the njost exciting that has ever taken place in the State, but it will be.conducted on lines that will give it a national character. Major McKinley, the Republican nominee for governor,,is identified with'the tariff policy of the United States. His name is inseparably associated with the principle of protection. His chairmanship of the committee on ways and means la the Fifty-first Congress made him the most conspicuous member of that body, and vested him with the leadership of his party on the tariff question. The bill which was framed under his direction is now the law of the land, and its author cannot possibly come before the people without bringing to the front the great issue of which that measure was the out­ come. The Republican party knew this. It was understood in every town, hamlet, ward and voting precinct in Ohio. Sur­ veying the situation, the party has wel­ comed the issue gladly, eagerly, confi­ dently, and chosen McKinley as its can­ didate. The contest, therefore, will be on the tariff, except in so far as the Dem ocratic nominee may succeed in thrusting it out of sight, which cannot be done to any great extent. There will be questions as to efficient and honest State govern­ ment, a candid view of which will be ad­ vantageous to the Republicans, but near­ ly every vote cast will be an endorsement of or protest against the tariff act of the last Cbngress. This is what will give the Ohio campaign its national character. What result is probable? The present outlook is decidedly favorable to Major McKinley, on account of his personal popularity and because the people of Ohio believe in protection to American industries. A belief in his probable elec­ tion is justified by a glance at some elec­ tion returns in which he has figured. Major McKinley was elected to Congress in 1888, by a plurality of 4,099, from the Eighteenth district, comprising the counties of Carroll, Columbiana, Mahon­ ing and Stark. When the Democrats got control of the Legislature they pro­ ceeded to gerrymander the State, and one of their special objects in view was to prevent the return of Major McKinley to Congress. So they reconstructed his district, making it consist of the coun­ ties of Holmes, Medina, Stark and Wayne. These counties in 1889 gave Campbell (Dem.) for governor a plurality of 2,998. It was thought that this heavy adverse vote would make McKinley?s defeat sure and so it did. But McKinley made a splendid campaign, and came within 302 votes of being elected, instead of lacking 2,998--the plurality by which the Demo­ crats had carried the counties of his new district the year before. Now if McKin­ ley can keep this record up--if he can go into the stronghold of the enemy and cut their majorities down from 3,000 to 300, or at that rate--and if he can make cor­ responding changes in Republican sec­ tions--his opponent might as well give up the battle in advance. It is not ex­ pected, however, that this ratio can be maintained. Gov. Campbell, who will probably be renominated by the Demo­ crats is a popular man and good fighter. But McKinley has demonstrated his great strength with the people, and if he makes even an approach tq former achievements he is sure to b<e elected The Republicans of Ohio believe that they will succeed, but they do not pro pose to sink into the inactivity of over- confidence. They are very much alive to the necessity of untiring work, and will not let the battle go by default. Their earnestness, their determination, the pop­ ularity and the record of their candidate, unite to show the strongest probability of McKinley's election. Such a result of the contest will be of immense value to the Republican party and full of encour­ agement for the industrial prosperity of this country. > M9*The votes of three Farmers' Alli- ance senators have finally been secured and cast in the Michigan- Senate for the passage of an apportionment bill gerry­ mandering the State in Democratic inter- ests. This bill gives the Democrats seven and the Republicans five congressional districts. As a bill for the choice of presi­ dential electors by congressional districts has already become a law, it was neces­ sary to gerrymander the State to give the Democrats the full benefit of the first measure. The three Farmers' Alliance senators lend themselves to the Demo­ cratic scheme and complete success is promised^ln order to get seven Demo­ cratic districts it was necessary to run three of them into the city of Detroit, each district taking a sufflcent slice to * render it Democratic. The bill has yet to pass the House, but prompt passage is expected and the Governor's signature Is assured. ThiB performance should tender Mighigan overwhelmingly Repub­ lican at the next election. The Farmer's Alliance will soon drop i(\ Otlt of consideration, as it is nothing but ^ » Democratic annex. This has been shown in the election of senator in this <- state and in the gerrymandering of Michigan.

Governor Fifer is entitled to credit foi* sending to the morgue in the office of the Secretary of State a very bad bill to authorize almost any corporation in Illinois to own and hold shares in. the capital stock of any railroad companies organized under the laws of this state. The bill granted this precious privilege to any Illinois mining or manufacturing corporation which furnishes material to be used in the construction or operation of railroads. As the Governor points out, this bill would enable any Illinois mining or man­ ufacturing corporation supplying so much as a ton of coal or ten pounds of axle- grease to any railroad in the country So own stock in any and every railroad or­ ganized under the lawsxtlthe State, now or hereafter, and to own\a majority of the stock in every one of them, and therefore to control the policy of all of them and acquire a monopoly of the whole system. It is surprising that a bill so dearly legalizing the creation of a vast railroad trust and monopoly* under the control of a single corporation nominally organized for mining or manufacturing purposes could have made its way through the legislature even in the hurry and rush and confusion of the last hours of the session. And it is the more surprising because the same legislature enacted a cast iron anti-trust law. That the same legislature which prohibited trusts under severe penalties should have passed bill having the effect to legalize the most gigantic trust ever organized, M. Secre- tan's great copper combination not ex­ cepted, is indeed astonishing. How the thing was managed we may. never know. We may entertain suspicious suggestions by the fact that there was more "in it than there was in the lake front grab but we cannot affirm that the bill was "greased*" We can, however, thank Governor Fifer for withholding his sig­ nature from a bill containing such im mense possibilities, of extortion and undefinable mischief.
