WI3MIESDAY. FEB. 15. 1893. 'f. VAMWLYKfi. Editor. MTThe Turner Independent says the C.4b N. W.R'y has began to build another Beit line between Joliet and Waukegan; the first link of which between Geneva and Batavia, on the east side of PdOC Hv«r, to now under construction. 10s Wisconsin's bad boy, Peck, is said to have developed a first-class case of longing for a seat in the cabinet. It's Bill Nye's turn now. Come, William, don't be afraid, march right out into the middle of the ring; the animate won't bite yon. I®-The butter market on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday was not very active, many lots remaining unsold. At 27% cents 1,560 pounds were sold, •nd at 28 cents 13,140 pojinds. Total sales f4,108. Last week's prices 27% and 2N cents. A year ago 28 and 29 fSFk bill is before the Illinois t%»< islatore requiring drivers of teams to torn to the left on meeting other teams in a public highway, a failure to do so being punishable by a fine of from $20 to f 100. It is the rule of the road all over the world for teams to tarn to the right, and there seems to be no good reason why this law should be reversed, unless it be that the member introducing the bill is left handed. 19" The machine is a terrible autocrat in politics. It removes all semblance of a government by the people and for the people. A free ballot is a deception un­ der the "boss rule." There is as much tyranny in a political machine operated by four men void oi conscience as there is in the rule of a despotic king or emperor. The political king is more dangerous than the oppressive ruler, for the boss works his ruinous plans under the guise of those forms which a free people have created Sor the happiness of themselves and their posterity. BL^UTB All his countrymen know Blaine, the parliamentary leader; Blaine, the great* est brained Republican atafctmman of his time, the farseeing, intensely patriotic secretary of state. They know, too that with all his force he urged on this nation for its own interest, as he conceived, the two doctrines of statecraft with which his name will be historically associated- pan-Americanism and reciprocity. But those who never heard him speak do not know perhaps of his power as an orator. Those who do know something of it may recall at this sad time the per­ oration of his eulogy on President Gar­ field, delivered at the Garfield memorial services in the hall of the House of Rep­ resentatives at Washington, February 27,1882. The address occupied an hour and a half in delivery, and it took rank as one of the most apppropriat© and eloquent eulogies ever uttered. Its closing words, beautiful and thrilling, seem almost as if Blaine looked into the future with pro­ phetic eye and read his own death: Through days of deadly langour, through weeks of agony that was not S««8 u^uii.v because sUeaiiiy bourne, with clear sight and calm courage Iia looked into his open grave. What blight and ruiD met his anguished eyes--whose lips may tell--what brilliant, broken plans; what baffled, high ambitions; what sun­ dering oi strong, warm, manhood's friendship; what bitter rending of sweet household ties! * * * Let us think that his dying eves read a mystic meaning which only the mpt and parting soul may know. Let us believe that in the silence of the receding word he heard the great waves breaking on a farther shore and felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning, i "V5T* England protests against the an­ nexation of the Hawaiian islands by the United States, and the demand that this country shall keep an implied agreement to refrain from accepting such' an invita­ tion loses force because of the sure know­ ledge that if England had the same invi­ tation she would have seized it eagerly and her flag would already have been floating over the islands in spite of any protests from this country. England never failed of any opportunity to ac­ quire territory and has not been particu­ lar to wait for an invitation from the people either. Discontent among the Democracy fa certain to increase. In its present sit­ uation, or the situation which it will oc­ cupy within a tew weeks, the Democratic party will have no excuse for the non fulfillment of pledges. Men who have labored for Democratic success can no longer be put off with promises. The responsibility for their disappointment cannot then be laid at the door of a Re­ publican Senate. The year just begun will undoubtedly see the eyes of thous­ ands of Democrats opened to the duplic­ ity and insincerity of their party leaders To all such a ready welcome should be extended, whenever they declare their Willingness to accept sincerely the princi pies and platform of the Republican WIP&* . .Sfci Hawaiian Annexation. The Hawaiian question should not be considered from a partisan standpoint for one moment. There is no party measure in it. We should act purely from an American standpoint. Americas interests are at stake. This government has not sought to absorb Hawaii, but the latter has sought the protecting arm of the United States, which should be extended immediately. The island is the key to the entire Pacific coast, pre­ eminently the strategic point, the only possible location for a coaling as well as a repair station for the United States war vessels, as well as all merchantil* lines playing between Yokohama, Hong Kong and other Chinese and Japanese ports and the cities of the Pacific coast. England wants all theearth, of course, and her wants are commendable; at the same time it will show a weak stupidity in these United States to tamely submit to English control of the Hawaiian situation. The proposition of one fac­ tion that the Government extend protec­ tion to a queen--niece of the recently deposed Qneen, the young lady to be recognized by this Government as the legitimate ruler of Hawaii--is a pre­ posterous idea not to be tolerated for one moment. What a ridiculous position for this republic to become a protector or extend a protectorate over a monarchy! Congress should without delay accept the proposition of the Hawaiian commision and annex the islands as the Territory of Hawaii.-- Na tional Sen tinal. Wsither ar« wa Driftin*. " The Chicago Sunday Standing von tnakes the following pertinent remarks **A school law has been summarily re pealed for the reason that it required 'ftc ehiHren i- our schools to be taught the language of our land. At the same time, the city of Chicago expends upwards yif $150,000 annually on instruction in a 'foreign language in the public schools, while thoueondB of children go untaught fat the elemeatry branches for lack of • ephool facilities due to a shortness of .

There is no other country in the world -%here such things could have happened There is no other nation possessing the .jpfements of life, strength and growth wlucu Would permit the mother tongue to per­ form in the humble roll Cinderella in the Schools of the people. The old notion that there is no such thing as an American nationality still lingers among a certain class of European * Writers. What further evidence do they need in support of this belief than the I grotesque spectacle of throwing English out of, and forcing a foreign language into the common schools, presented in this great state of Illinois." cam now In the Howe with tits cloture rule based upon Speaker Reid's ruling should they dare to filibuster against this proposition and force it through the House with the aid of a three-fourths Democratic majority. They are confi­ dent of being able to slaughter them in the next Congress, when they will control House, 8enate, Presidency, and the man­ agement of the departments, for there- cent election of Democratic senators in Nebraska, Kansas and California make it certain that the democrats will control the Senate in next Congress. Republican pluck and persistency scored a victory oyer Tammany aud States rightism this week in the passage of the quarantine bill in the form originally adopted by the Senate. That bill placed in the hands of the Marine Hospital Ser­ vice the power to establish quarantine regulations at all. ports. The Southern­ ers fought it in the House upon the States Rights doctrine, and the Tammany people in the House opposed it be­ cause it lessened the power of their office holders at New York City. Between Tammany and the Southerners an entire­ ly different bill was passed, practically opening the doors of the country to chol­ era, simply for the benefit of a few offhse holders. The Republican Senate, how­ ever, insisted on its own bill, and the House was finally forced to yield and pass the Senate bill. Mr. Cleveland has discovered this week that he is not the dictator of the Demo? cratic party. Notwithstanding his de­ mand for a repeal of the silver law the Senate, by almost a two-thirds vote re­ fused to take up the bill for its repeal. Senator Hill took this opportunity to get one more shot at his political enemy and moved to take up the bill, doubtless for the very purpose of showing bow little influence Mr. Cleveland had. In this he was highly successful, for scarcely a doz­ en Democrats voted as Mr. Cleveland wanted them to vote. Carlisle, Don Dickinson, Henry Nillard, and other democrats who have been here trying to whip democrats into line for the support of the silver repeal bill were but little more successful at the House end, and Mr. Cleveland finds his struggle for the repeal of the silver law an absolute- fail­ ure and with little prospects of better success in next Congress, for a careful canvass of the next Senate shows that it is likely to have a silver majority of from fifteen to twenty. Mr. Cleveland is still having a serious struggle with his cabinet. He has been unable to get a single one of the old members to come again into his official family, and aside from Carlisle and La- mont it is probable that not a single man has accepted his offer of a cabinet po­ sition. O. P. A, ISP Mr. Cleveland is said to have sent - - this ultimatum to the Democrats in Con- prees-' 1--Repeal the silver purchase law, or an extra session will be called within 30 days after March 4. 2--Only . jpemocrats who are with Mr. Cleveland in %is silver policy will be welcome at the "White House, or need ask to share in the patronage. If this is true it will compel v. I the Democrats in Congress to show their «olors. Senator Sherman has said that the silver law can be repealed at any 4ime when ten Democratic Senators can fee found in favor of it; that the burden of responsibility rests entirely upon them and not upon the Republicans. The war ^ "Is one that will have to be fought out on the Democratic side. They have the power, both in the Senate and the House. Mr. Cleveland is with the Wall street side. '< It is not believed that the Democratic Congress is, or that they will consent to I %he repeal of the present lttw, except in f the adoption of a substitute for free coin' nge. The plain people are not much dis­ turbed on account of the question. They have been told so many times that the ItnsineSB of the nations was on the verge financial ruin on account of silver, ? <fcnd yet the crash has not come, that thtgrnave become indifferent and much Our Bemlar Washington Letter. Washington, D. C. Feb. 11,1893. The confederacy being again in the saddle, its representatives in Congress are already showing their hand. At the House end they are preparing to cut down pensions and at the Senate end they are laying plans to muzzle the judi­ ciary wherever it dares to object to the suppression of the Republican vote in the South. President Harrison, having shown himself large enough to give the Democratic party a representative of the Supreme Bench, the Democrats of the Senate are now showing themselves small enough to take advantage of that fact in a way which will prevent the appoint­ ment of a Republican judge for the south­ ern circuit now presided over by Judge Jackson. The Democratic members of the Senate now admit that they intend to hold back the confirmation until it will be impossible to confirm a Republican successor to Jackson as Circuit Judge. They want a Democratic Judge on that circuit, that they may carry out their general system of frauds upon the ballot and practical disfranchisement of Repub­ lican voters in the South. At the House end the ex-Confederates are turning their attention for the mo­ ment to slaughtering the pensioners and the old soldiers. Their first attempt this week was an effort to slaughter the "sol­ diers roll" of House employes. Some of these men have lost an arm, some a leg. One man, whose place these envious ex- Confederates want for their Southern heroes, lost both legs in a battle and another gave both legs to the Union cause. This fact did not deter the De­ mocracy from an attempt when the Sundry Civil bill came up to destroy the soldiers roll. The Republicans, however, rallied as a man to its support and suc­ ceeded in preventing this action. The raid upon the old soldiers having failed, the southern members of the appropria­ tions committee planned to carry through that committee a much more extensive one. They added to the pen­ sion appropriation bill a clause cutting off from the pension roll. thousands of widows of Union soldiers, taking away from soldiers who are able to earn over six hundred dollars a year the pension already granted them under the disabil­ ity act, abolishing the boards of medical examiners and substituting one man in their stead, and transfering the Pension Bureau to the War Department. These amendments, which are intended to de­ prive tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers' widows of their pensions were forced through the appropriation com­ mittee by the votes of such Southern Democrats as Sayers, of Texas, ex-Con­ federate Livingston, of Georgia, ex-Con­ federate Breckenridge, of Arkansas, Breckenridge, of Kentucky, andDockery, of Missouri. It is proposed now to tie Unhands of the little band al Bepubli- Democratic papers report that the leaders of the Bourbon faction will accept the appointment of Judge Gresham to a position in Mr Cleveland's Cabinet with­ out a protest. This is important if true. In fact, it is brimful of importance--to the Bourbons. Their position is well illustrated by the story of the old farmer whose wife died after a long illness. "Was she resigned?" a friend asked. "Resigned," said the old man. "Great Scott; she had to be."--Journal - Baal Estate Transfers.
