Ifir*The much talked of race between Alterton and Nelson came off at Grand Rapids, October 8fch. Allerton won as he pleased after the first heat. Truly Aller­ ton is a great hoss,and has trotted more fast miles in the same length of time than any other horse living or dead. He is the five year old stallion king. I®" Half seconds are close figures in trotting a mile, and the muncles that make such a change are wonderfully trained, and move like clock-work when the regulator is changed a little to faster time. Sunol, the phenomenal California mare, lowered her record of 2:10}^ to 2:10, but she is yet short of 2:08%, the record of Maud S. Governor Campbell, unfortunately for himself, has chosen the "calamity" cry for his weapon. He said that "our once proud commerce had been swept from the seas." Yet the truth is that our once proud commerce is larger this year than that of any nation in the civi­ lised world, larger than that of any other year in the world's history. He •aid that "the wife of the miner starves while coal barons are rolling in wealth," but he neglected to add that when the last census was taken the richest coal baron in the United States was the lead­ er of the Democratic party. The Gover­ nor said that the consumers of plate glass in this country were taxed f223,000 annually, by the iniquitous system of protection, but he neglected to add that his party with practical unanimity, vot­ ed to retain $50,000,000 duties on sugar. Which is the preferable system--Gover­ nor Campbell's, which would telieve the rich of a few hundred thousand dollars pocket money spent on gorgeous mir­ rors, or Major Mckinley,s, which has re­ sulted in a decrease in the price of neces­ saries all along the line?--Boston Adrer- _ ' Wise Words from Carl Bailors. At the recent German celebration in New York an address was delivered by Carl Schurz, who was, in fact, the orator of the occasion. Very appropriately to the occasion it was in German, Mr. Schurz being a master of rhetoric in both hk native and the English languages. The address has not, so far as we hare seen, been fully translated and published in the American press. But an extract appears in one of our contemporaries which we reproduce and fully indorse. He said: Let us not forget that it Is notour mis­ sion here as Germans to form a nation­ ality of our own, but to contribute to the Ameridan nation the best within us, and adopt in place of our weak points the good and admirable which we find in those who are Americans like us. We should never for an instant forget that for us as Germans the political life of this country can have no separate interest, but that the general welfare is also our own. Let us conscientiously study what the general welfare demands, and there , we may act freely and boldly according to our convictions, not misled by minor considerations and not governed by a selfish and tyrrannical party spirit. While exercising our political preroga­ tives let us resist every temptation to subordinate weighty to minor matters, in case our habits or inclinations should incline that way. For instance, no mat­ ter how highly we may think of personal liberty, do not let us give to any one just cause to say that it could be possible for the German to lose sight of the most im­ portant public interests as soon as the Question of drink comes up for considera­ tion. It is reported that even in the immense German assembly to which this senti­ ment wasj'addressed in their own lan­ guage, it was received with the greatest applause. The ijebuke ^that the orator addressed to the eaiainityites, the discon­ tented and the restless, is also excellent: Let us never be dominated by that un­ worthy, pernicious and dreary pessimism which tries to discourage all efforts to better our public affairs by the claim that everything is fallacious, full of corruption and therefore useless; of all evil tendencies, truly pessimism is the worst. Let us ad­ here to the well-founded belief that this le possesses an inexhaustible wealth ure and noble elements; that our free system also furnishes the remedies all the evils which it begets; that this ublic's magnificent example shows that, in a people which governs itself, there may be some bad, and yet the whole may be good, and that in the face Of all the cares and perils which torture Hie old world, the American people, in this land of secured peace and general well-being, may well have cause and rea­ son to praise its good fortune. Let us .fortify this belie! by our actions by giv fog our best energies when we are called On to do good and to give battle to everything bad. By thus fulfilling our (treat mission we shall be certain of the fespect of our contemporaries, and we •hall be honored by our descendants as we honor our predecessors at this very iUdHOiS POUT1M. Under the above heading the Illinois Statesman, i. new paper just started in Chicago, has the following to say in rela­ tion to the candidacy of Governor Fifer and Senator Charles E. Fullw» of thia district: ' ' Hon. Joseph W. F1B»*V The attempt by some of the Republican factionists to defeat the renomination of Governor Fif«r has practically been abandoned. A few are still harping for a change. These are, for the greater part, soreheads. The Governor is becoming more popular with his party every day, and such strong leaders as General Mc- Xulta will not permit the use of their names as candidates in any sense while Mr. Fifer in before the people for re-elec­ tion. It will be found when the conven­ tion meets that it will be almost a Fifer unit. Senator Charles K. Fuller. There is no question now that Senator Charles E. Fuller is a formidable candi­ date for Congressman-at-large on the Republican ticket. The Chicago Tribune recently approved of Mr. Fuller's nomin­ ation in the following: Through the failure oi the General As­ sembly to re-district the State Congres- sionally two niembere-at-large will be sent from Illinois to Washington next year. The boundaries of the twenty dis­ tricts of the State will stand as they are. The increased population which entitles Illinois to 22 instead of 20 Congressmen is due to the rapid growth of Chicago in numbers. When the State is mlistricted the additional members will be appor­ tioned to this city. There is a feeling, too, that the two Congressmen-at-large to be selected ought to be at least identi­ fied with Chicago interests, if not actual residents of Chicago. Political expedien­ cy, the interests of the State tickets, how­ ever, may demand the selection of out­ siders. The Democrats talk oi nominat­ ing Speaker Crafts for one of the places should he be unable to make the Govern­ orship. If Crafts should* be a nominee for Congressman-at-large, how would it do to nominate Senator Fuller, of Boone, against him to test public feeling on the question of the World's Fair appropria­ tion and the action of the General Assem­ bly thereon ? The facts are that Mr. Fuller stands well with the Republican party and with the people generally. He has been a strong leader of his party at Springfield for a good many years, and has proven himself an able debater and one of the readiest parliamentarians in the State. They appear to want him down in Egypt, for the other day the Vienna (Johnson Co.) Times said: As there is to be no redisricting of the State by the present Legislature there will be two Congresemen-at-large to be elected on the State ticket at the next general election, Illinois having gained two Congressmen by the last census. Hon. Charles E. Fuller, of Belvidere, Boone county, is mentioned as a proba­ ble candidate for one of these places on the Republican ticket. Mr. Fuller is now representing his district in the State Sen ate, and has been a member of the Senate and House for fourteen years. He is an eminent lawyer, forty years of age, and is regarded as a clean and able legislator. He was the leader of the Republican side in the memorable Logan fight of 1885, and performed a like part in the late Sen­ atorial struggle. He is a ready debater and one of the best parliamentarians in the State. He lives in the banner R3pub- 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 by placing such a man as Senator Fuller on the State ticket, be­ cause he will prove a popular candidate and add strength to the ticket. • HORSE BLANKETS Nearly every pattern of 3k Hor$i Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength,and while it sells for only a little less than the genu­ ine it isn't worth one-half as much. ,The fact that Horse Blankets are copied is strong evidence that they are THE STANDARD, and every buyer should see thai the 3k trade mark is sewed Ofi the inside of the Ask for M Blanket.

Western towns which have been over boomed now have to wait and let the surrounding country catch up with them, and in the meantime have a weary wait­ ing with much dead property on hand. The speculator comes into a new settle­ ment and creates a boom. There is a great amount of building, armies of workmen are employed, and dwelling houses and long business blocks erected in anticipation of future needs. For a time the lively appearance of the town seems to justify all this. But when the work is done and the great army of laborers move away it is found that the creation of the town and not the addi­ tion of permanent residents or the estab­ lishment of industries had made it, and stagnation ensues. It is found that the town has been overbuilt, that there is not enough employment for so large a population, andjthe surrounding coun­ try has to grow up to it before a new start can be taken. In the meantime empty stores and homes have a discour­ aging effect and the town grows shabby in appearance. Seattle, Tacoma, Spo­ kane Falls and Denver are all having this experience. In Denver the list of de linquent taxpayers occupies 168 columns of nonpareil type. This is a most effect­ ive and eloquent portrayal of the real condition of affairs in Denver. It is also a most suggestive fact to the holders of Western mortgages. Denver has ranked very high popularly as a prosperous city, and its comparative collapse is no worse than that which has overtaken most of the cities of recent growth beyond the Mississippi. Some day, probably, when the contributing territory around such towns has grown so as to establish an equilibrium there will be a new start of steady prosperity. All Eastern towns were once Western towns on the frontier and full of promise for the future. Some, of them have grown to be great cities; and others have stopped at hamlets and villages. Some of those which promised most and whith drew the most early set-i tiers have degenerated and now have no importance whatever, while others which promised nothing at the time are now large and thriving towns. The surest place for investment are those which have proved themselves to be substantial and enduring and of steady even if of slow growth, providing sufficient for all to have employment and have no surplus population living by its wits, and con tinually contriving schemes to gain a support outside of legitimate methods, Location does not alone make success. The people who have been successful in the West have worked for it, and there are just as good and better chances for success here ae any where if you only work My text this Sunday even ID? is taken from the book of Ex­ perience, which dates back to 1*40, and is a complete digest of my life and is lull of good, boiled down horse eense, ad vising- >ou in tbe right direc­ tion how to become rich, not only in experience but also in money, and the latter makes the mare go us you all know.
