Free sugar accounts for one half of the reduction, and the benefit of this is felt on every table in the land. The other half is accounted for by the fact that laces, cutlery, woolen cloth, dress goods, etc., are no longer bought from European manufacturer®, but are purchased from Americans. ms, l f r : it I®" Oliver Wendell Holmes, author of : the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," and a world-renowned poet, celebrated the eighty-second anniversary of his birth, last Saturday, at his home near Boston.

The board of trustees, of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the insane, have opened the bids for the additional buildings allowed by the last legislature. There were over twenty bidders. The lowest and success­ ful bidder was James Lillie, of Kankakee, fcfc figures being f131,500, less by $ 14,- 000 than the next lowest bidder. The appropriation allowed by the legislature wasfl63,000. Mr. Lillie has been the contractor for all the other buildings since the hospital was opened. The con­ tract is for six additional ward buildings and the enlarging of the employes' quar­ ters. This will provide for 300 more pa­ tients, which with. the 1,700 already there, will make it the largest insane hos­ pital in the world. IfiT"Secretary Rusk thinks this will be «^reat year for the American hog. He says: "We will have our pork on the European markets in a very short time. Everything is favorable for our packers to place their products before the Euro­ peans,, aad the prices the pork will bring will be highly satisfactory to the export­ er*.. This conclusion I have not arrived «t hastily nor without due consideration. I have devoted much of my time to it. The small crops of cereals in the European countries and the financial troubles in Great Britain will necessitate the admit­ tance of our pork, as it will be cheaper than way there now, and the result frill be a much larger sale of our products than ever before, not only of pork bat of other articles of food as well." <|OV. F1FBB AT OBTTXSBUBO. The Oration of Governor Fifer at Get­ tysburg on Thursday last, and printed in the papers of Friday, is pronounced by all to be one of the finest ever deliv­ ered on this continent. The Governor has few if any equals, as an orator, and every word that flows from his lips is burning with patriotism and eloquence. The Chicago HeraJd, the strongest Democratic paper in the State, makes the following complimentary mention of the Governor's address: * Governor Fifer's speech at Gettysburg was not only eloquent, but it was in the highest degi-ee patriotic. In briefest com­ pass he gave the conflicting theories held by the fathers of the Republic concerning the nature of the Union---that on the one side State sovereignty was exalted be­ yond its powers, and on the other the Federal Union was held to be supreme. He did not say, and in the compass ot his speech there was no opportunity for him to say, that these conflicting theories were held alternately by the two great parties contending lor power in the Fed­ eral republic. In other words, it has al­ ways been the rule that the party in pos­ session of the Federal government, whether Federalist, Democratic, Whig, or Republican, has always sought to ag­ grandize more power, while the party in opposition, whatever its name, has al­ ways contended for the widest latitude of States' rights. Governor Fifer could not and did not enter into these details, but simply outlined the nature of the con­ tending forces, which some time on some burning question would inevitably come to a clash of arms. Governor Fifer said, and as we think very wisely, that but for such an intense question as slavery the doctrine of national sovereignty would have had a bloodless triumph. This seems obvious from the very fact that, as each party was by turns entrusted with power, they became more and more imbued with a national sentiment. But when great passions are aroused, men cease to reason, and so the war came. The Governor was no more than just | in stating that on both sides of the civil conflict men were conscientious in their views. There has always been much talk of a conspiracy on the part of the South­ ern leaders. There probably was some planning and understanding among them, but nothing that ever could be said to assume the form of a conspiracy. Both sides truly drifted into the war, and it was not until the bombardment of Sumpter that things became real to the senses and the mist was dissipated. Governor Fifer's speech is a memorable one, for it expresses, as has never yet been expressed by any orator or states­ man, the actual feeling of the people of Illinois. This great State--the keystone of the West--probably had more influence on the fortunes of the war than any other State in the North. And yet withal iu was moderate and never radical in opin­ ion. More than two hundred thousand men leaped from our soil to the defense of the Union, but they followed the even counsels of Douglas and Lincoln rather than the extreme views of the radical fanatics, who cared not at all for the Union, but thought only of slavery.

Fuller. The many admirers of Hon. Chas. E, JPuller, Senator from Belvidere, are boom­ ing him for Congressman-at-laige from Illinois. It is not confined to his own locality but Republicans generally throughout the State recognise his pecul Jitr fitness for the position and are gener­ ally agreeing that he is the man for the place. Senator Fuller has for a series of years been a leader in legislation at the State capitol, is a man of brains and good address, and would be heard in the f kails of our national capitol. His name ."Would greatly strengthen the Republican ticket in the State.--DeK&lb Review. The failure of the recent legislature to Jteapportion the State makes it necessary elect the two additional Congresmen to which the State is entitled, at large. Among those mentioned as candidates tor the nomination is Senator Charles E. fuller, of Boone county. Mr. Fuller is / able man and a staunch Republican, A|tnd was one of the leaders of the Repub­ lican forces in the Senatorial fight at Springfield.

' Tffk'-itrtteess of the insurglf^fe ftf i?fre Congressional party in Chili, heralded within the last 'ten days, has taken the public by surprise. The wannest sympa­ thizers with the insurgents would hardly have dared to hope that success so speedy or so complete would crown their brave efforts. Doubtless comparatively few in this country have had any particular knowl­ edge of the civil strife going on since the beginning of the present year in this South American Republic. The episode of the Itata steamship first called special attention to it on the part of the great mass of newspaper readers, but they cohld obtain from the reports published but little knowledge of the cause and character of the strife. Violations of port and neutrality laws on the part of the Itata's officers compelled our govern­ ment to pursue a course detrimental to the insurgents, but this argued no want of sympathy with them, and the disap­ proval of the conduct of those officers by the provisional government established by the insurgents, and their prompt sup render of the Itata, spoke well for til* honor of their cause. We have space to state only in the briefest manner the reasons for this Chilian insurrection. Bakuaceda, elect­ ed in September, 1886, as President of Chili, for the term of five years conducted the government successfully and satisfactorily for three years. He then seems to have become possessed with the demon of ambition and de­ termined to manage things for his own benefit. The Constitution stood in the way of his re-election to the Presidency, so he selected at this early day a pliant tool who was one of his ministers, as his successor, and set out to so use the pow er and influence of his office aq to secure the election of his candidate, who was well known to be a reckless, unprincipled and corrupt man, wholly unfit for the place. This course of procedure pro­ voked resistance, and a strong majority of the cougress became his opponents. Mattel-Went from bad to worse until with high handed assumption, Balma- ceda, having repeatedly violated the Con stitution, made himself absolute dictator. This culmination of his course was ar­ rived at January 1, 1891, since which time actual revolution has been in prog­ ress. While Balmaceda controlled the army, the navy revolted and went with the Con­ gressional party, which established provisional government at Iquique, and secured control over a large portion of the country. Balmaceda's strongholds were Santiago, the capital, and Valpa­ raiso, seventy miles distant. The Con gressionalists took the offensive and ap­ proached Valparaiso with an army of 10,000 men. Two battles were fought, Balmaceda's two generals and 1,500 of his men being killed and his army demor­ alised. The city of Valparaiso capitu lated and the Congressional army took possession of it. The news of this capit­ ulation was received, and following close upon its heels, came the farther news that Santiago had surrendered, that Balmaceda's downfall is complete and he u fugitive. lap Kftsic QuicKest • .> Tb« ONLY YEAST iu&WOS Bread •o ; r Vbicljh<;| and Cures Dyspepsia J.
