W 12.' 1898. Editor. Wfiy' I? ' NINETCKN. we commence Volume Nineteen of the PUUNDKALEB, and as it it«M fiot been in the past neither will it be ?IH the future, our policy to make boasts | -V of OOP success in its publication. Suffice for our friends to know that it is firmly established on » paying basis, and will continue; as heretofore, to advocate that Which is for the best interest of all parts of our little village, and do what we can to promote the interests of our business toes. We well understood when we feotn- •mfflfoij the publication of the PLAIN* DBALEB, eighteen years ago, that news­ paper making was no holiday task. We expected to make mistakes; in short had %o expectation of perfection, but we trusted to the generosity of a generous public to overlook these thingB, so long as we adhered to the promises then made, to use our best endeavors to meet the* wants of our readers. This we "liave done, and although we admit mistakes have occurred yet our patrons have stood by us, old friends have stayed our hands and new ones have come in and l&Sded to oar qnots. of good ehser. Our subscription list is now second to no paper in the county and increasing every week. Wewant no better endorsement than that. For the coming year we have no special 'promises to make. In our local depart­ ment we expect constant improvement. In mechanical appearance we Bhall vie with any jonrnai published in the State. Politically, while we are staunch Repub­ lican, we have no "boss," but shall run oar own machine according to our own views, living strictly up to the motto that stands at the head of this paper. To tu6 business men and citizens of McHenry we tender our hearty thanks Cor the manner in which they have sup­ ported us by their liberal patronage and Influence, and hope to merit their favors •nd good will in the future as in the it is out of the power punish the judge Mid - '• V • * •> " » .» I »•» » W UJtgUtJ WUIJtlV- ed to followtiM advice of Johaan Moat and his ^ t&Tln Chili the government troops cut the throats of captured rebels, which was certainly inhuman and barbarous, In this country captured rebels are put in charge of important interests of the Government, which is carrying things to the other extreme. fj^Ex-Preaident Harrison voiced the opinion of many when he said, referring to the calling of an extra session in Aug­ ust : "If Mr, Cleveland thinks he has the remedy and he is able to apply it, why didn't he do so before? Why didn't he call an extra session of Congress last April? (^According to cable advices the United States legations in Europe are studying the tax systei&a of the countries over there, in order to ftrnisfc the admin­ istration with ideas to $» «sed in taxing the people of the UniMI States. How about these Democratic promisee of less­ ening taxation. No excuse is necessary for recalling the words of Lincoln at the close of the war, and they should be suggestive to some people: "Our work is now to heal the wounds and to care for the men who bore the battle, their widows and their orphans. Let us, therefore, dedicate ourselves to care for the men who made it possible for us to have such country to enjoy." l^*The Elgin Every SatwnTaf %ays: "Illinois is getting overwhelmingly sick of Democratic rule. H&r incompetence the present legislature, now, thank God, adjourned, fairly out-Herods Herod. For absolute asaninity the present governor, now, alas, not adjourned, is a genius. He has a truly remarkable faculty for doing the wrong thing every time, and even the Democrats are of this opinion. |®" The organs of the "reform" party that are making a great deal of noise over the alleged pension frauds and com­ plaining because some one-armed veteran draws f25 per month pension, never mention the fact that Secretary of State Gresham is drawing $30 per month pen sion. If the Secretary desires to bring about a pension reform he should relin­ quish the pension of $30 per month which he draws but Hoes not need. 1 ' • Vaols »lek &B«I When ex-Governor Ogfakbj delivered .si iuMross In this city last fati he said: '2 u<**u uw US to wllO shall be Governor of Illinois, but I be­ lieve it would be a disgrace to the State, a disgrace to the people and a disgrace to the nation to elect a man like John P Altgeld Governor of the. great, state of Illinois." There are very many Demo­ crats who now not only agree with Gov­ ernor Oglesby's estimate of Altgeld, but echo his words as to the Tesult of Alt- geld's occupancy of the executive chair of the state. It will not be surprising if this egotistic and autocratic Governor does not bring the blushes many times to the cheeks of the men who voted for him before his term expires.--A Hon Tel­ egraph. • Hew Democrats B«y»rd Hto. Gov. Altgeld is not winning golden opinions^ from the Democrats of the country. In Tipton, Ind., chief town of a county that has never given a Republi­ can majority on any National issue, they varied the laudatory exercises of the Fourth by hanging the Governor of Illi­ nois in effigy; upon the lay figure that represented John Peter Altgeld there was a placard bearing this sentiment: "This is the way that all other anarchists should be served.'.' -f/1 And in the larger city of New York, also Democratic in its traditions, they prohibit a meeting of anarchists who de­ sire to express sympathy with and ad­ miration of their representative, who by accident occupies the Governor's maiy- eioaat Springfield.--Inter Ocean. *+ r* i » * JL*' % immm S":fm .. - V •... •W m >ipiig Of nil kinds are now in active demand classes Afpeople, and will be bought where the best assortment, newest styles, and lowest | consistent prices prevail.

We will not guarantee the barley crop, but we venture that rye will sprout from his body without the planting. Perhaps Mr. Seymour will feel the cocktails growing over him, as John Keats did the daisies. •mm # ';v.

If It accepts their proposition of annexa­ tion they wish it would say so. It it is a protectorate only they want to know it. But if it is going to d§ nothing they wish to offer themselves to some other power All the reports show that the sentiment for annexation does not grow lees, but '•&y>on the contrary grows stronger every ^ day. The opposition comes from Claus Bpreckles and the sugar planters, who fear that it will interfere with their use of contract Chinese and Japanese labor The whole business seems to be badly t-s,,, bungled by this administration, although "*<t may come out right in the end.

Catch inge, of Mississippi, was lead­ er of the last Democratic House of Rep­ resentatives and will be leader of the next. He makes no secret ot a purpose: to change the rules "to expedite busi ness." That means the adoption of the Reed rules, that the Democrats de­ nounced as the dictates of a czar.

AFTER THE ssc? g ISF* Strange things happen when ity ^Democratic admiritstration is in power, ^» 'One would naturally suppose that the , * i„ President and his Cabinet would rejoice J" the turn oithe gold tide from Europe . l-towaiti the United States, and the conse- , ^ qnent decided improvement in the finan- Vicial situation, but on the contrary it ^l^eems to have caused them grief. Mr. .^'4, "^Cleveland has expressed his fears to more * than on® man that if the situation con- tinues to improve Congress might not * ,* \ repeal the Sherman Silver law as prompt­ ly as it would were the country in dire % financial distress. It is really a God- P j send to the country that there is an im Vpv,. ' provement in the financial outlook although it is natural causes and not §any act or acts of the administration that have brought it about. If the im­ provement continues until after Congress meets it will have the effect of preventing any hasty and ill-considered financial legislation, which might easily make . things a great deal worse than they are or would be with no legislation at all Elgin News. Ex-President Harrison takes no malicious pleasure in the dilemma in which his successor finds himself, but cannot forbear mentioning the different treatment he will receive by the Republi­ cans in Congress to the treatment the Democratic Congress gave him in trying to "put him in a hole" on the financial question. The point is well made. The Republican party will not seek to em­ barrass the nation to make a political point. President Cleveland is forced to depend upon Republican congressmen to establish a sound money policy as against a divided Democratic party. ST Already there is a fierce fight on for supremacy, in Democratic leadership, between Governor Allgall and Mayor Harrison. There never was a contest between two chiefs of "our friends the enemy" on which Republicans could look with more supreme complacency. The indifference of the old lady on witness­ ing a set-to between her worthless hus­ band and an intruding bear, hardly equals it. She scud, "go in husband--go it bear," not caring which was victor, hoping for the survival of neither--and them's our sentiments in the above case, exactly.--Whiteside Sentinel. W The administration of th# pension bureau may easily go too far in its as­ sumed reforms. No one and least of all the brave men who fought during the wair, desire that pensions should be given indiscriminately, or that frauds should stand on the pension rolls. This does not give license, however, for its depriv­ ing any one of a pension who has honest­ ly earned it, and an injustice is very likely to be done, especially at the hands of those who have fought against the Union and have little sympathy with those who have fought for it. Such a «FMA as that of Allan G. Peck, of Rhode Island, who was given a pension for no other reason than the loss of hair, is one that, opens the whole business'to suspi- cion. Certainly the United States can­ not afford to pension all the bald-headed If it did, there would be about| a million applications during fly time. But here and there does not justify a denunciation of the pension Better pay a few fraudulent claims dfeprive aay honest soldier of his , Hanged in Effigy. Governor John P. Altgeld's action in pardoning the anarchists was not well re­ ceived in Naperyille. In fact the residents in the town weref^used to such a pitch of indignation tha^ they gave expression to their feelings Wednesday night by hanging the Governor ik effigy in the most approved style. A Wge stuffed figure surmounted by a counterfeit pre­ sentment of the Governor's fr«ad and face was swung across the pjWipal street of the town. Hanging from neck across the breast was a large wtf card, on which was painted two hand! clasped in a grasp of friendship. On one hand was the word "Anarchy" and on the other "Altgeld."
