1898. JULY 26, ti»»LTKB. Editor. m The bank excitement in Denver is over but the laboring people are orable condition. Thousands S^|W|l|ibyedaiid the savings of many * an up in the suspended banks. ||;||? 4 movement is on loot to ship thousands V ? ; of the unemployed east to keep them " j1 from starving. I-' MT In a New^York interview General f ^Lew Wallace declared that Cleveland's j*. ' * administration thus far had proved a dismal and dangerous failure. Anxiety I and distrust had pervaded the nation * from the day he assumed office. No one seemed to know what his policy was, and - : 1 therefore the people were losing confi- 6 '. denoe. The general predicted that the Democratic Congress, instead of adopt­ ing measures for the relief of the country, was far more likely jfco waste time in set­ tling, or trying to settle fractional quarrels. He would not, he said,, be at all astonished if the entire special session was consumed in talk. NT The Boston Advertiser observes that it was just about one year ago that Grover Cleveland was nominated for President by the Chicago convention. The country was under a Republican ad­ ministration, money was plenty, there was a general tone of prosperity in the air. At the end of that year we are liv­ ing under a Democratic administration, ff|money is scarce and the country labor- i!«v>, ing under the most severe and general f-'V'.v' business depression since 1873. These •' V are facts, says the Advertiser, whether they have significance or not. Who, it inquires, is there among our business men who would not like to turn the hands of the clock backward and pat us where we were a year ago. 1ST Uncle Ranney King, the Sage of Sugar Grove, Kane Co., pays his respects to Governor Altgeld in a recent issue of the Aurora Blade, His communication winds up as follows: Altgeld is a Prussian alien, and can­ not be in sympathy with American in­ stitutions. You might as well try to make a howling savage understand the Golden Rule, as to make the present Governor of Illinois comprehend the duties and obligations of a citizen of this Republic. All we can know is that Alt­ geld and Democracy are necessary evils, and we are taught to pray--"Deliver us from evil," and that "they who hath clean hands and a pure heart, shall ascend into the hill of the Lord." Surely the Republican party has everything to hope for when it shall meet the enemy four years hence. . 1ST Blessed are those that have noth­ ing, for they cannot be disappointed. While millionaires are fretting over the shrinkage of stocks and passing sleepless nights thinking of their losses, calmly the penniless goes about his daily toil, and sweet is his sleep. Well we may pity the poor millionaires with their great load of responsibilities in stocks and bonds. Blessed be nothing, for it brings no cares, and guarantees the only real independence. One can admire, in such times as these, the philosophy of Rip Van Winkle, according to Jefferson,who, , when reproached at the loss of his farm, remarked, "Well, we don't have to bodder about dot any more." The finan­ cial world may go to smash, but the poor man stands erect and unmoved amid the crash. It cannot hurt him for > J|e h«s nothing to lose.--Ex. *lthy, Pointer and Pertinent. There are two jobs, one financial and the other politico!, in the scheme to make a state of Indian Territory, and the Indians will be beneficiaries in neither. To the Governor of South Carolina: A law that cannot be enforced without the employment of an army of Spies would better not be enforced at all. Carl Schurz and Wayne Mac Veigh blush every Hme that vacancy in the Supreme (Jodrt is mentioned in their presence. Representative Springer has developed an enormous appetite for humble pud­ ding. Some men have humiliation throat up^ on them; other men bring it upon them­ selves. The governors of several stateft h*\ye lately joined the latter class. The coolness between Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic Senators ought to have some effect upon the August tem­ perature in Washington. To "put Harrison in a hole" was the main object of the Democrats in Con­ gress during the fast administration, and now they are afraid the Republicans will follow their example. It is a baseless fear; Republicans have a higher Ides of statesmanship than that. Mr. Cleveland to Republicans in Con­ gress : "Please drop politics long enough to help me knock out the financial lunatics of my party. The bad boy who rock? the boat until he falls overbold and nearly gets drowned is typical of the Democratic party and the nation's finances. The people are beginning to realize the true meaning of Democratic "tariff re­ form" the fear of which is largely respon­ sible for the present condition of the country. The man who walks to the Fair from some remote section of the country wants to get himself into the newspapers, but the fellow who has to walk home from the Fair doesn't. The unkindest cut of all was that invi­ tation to Mr. Cleveland to visit the Arkansas Hot Springs, for his "rheu­ matism." It is difficult not to say "I told you so" to the Democrats who are ieeling the squeeze consequent upon the general dis­ trust of their party, but it should not be done. Let the facts speak for themselves and the result will be fewer Democrats and better times. Laboring men have ample time now to ponder over the difference between Dem­ ocratic good times and Republican good times. Do you own stock In a factory? What is it worth under Democratic rule? What was it worth last year under Republican rule? Are these the times promised by De­ mocracy when .the honest laborer would have his foot on the neck of the greedy capitalist? Now is a good time for the Democrats to redeem their promises to the laboring men, of good times. Democrats are great people before elec­ tion. They 'are pretty small afterwards. \ \ • . A Pool Verdict. g The ridiculous verdict of the coroner's jury in the matter of the cold storage L ^ warehouse fire is worthy of the contempt . "" in which it is received by the people. All "V the reports of all who saw the fire and ' Jj_ all the evidence before the jury shows . *pp that Marshal Marphy played the part of ^ bero. The testimony showed that he |j*. never ordered the men into the tower > which t«0ved a death trap, but that ^ ̂ Capt. Fitaoatrick had gone there with : bis men before Marshal Murphy arrived. fThis evidence was undenied and yet the idiots who composed the jury, driven to ,, unseemly haste by the arch-idiot who was running the «quest---the coroner, ; . held Marshal Marphy among others to the grand jury for orfering the men to • , ' ' the tower. The coron*r had another •ff>\ t/ ease pending and hence cf^ded the cold storage through without giving half •i" "• enough time for the evidence. Of course p£; no indictment will be found, hat. it is {' crying shame that a man who rifted his fc-: . life and proved himself the hero or. the r, day should be insulted by a dolt whose "• sole concern is for his fee in the case, - v, conjunction with a lot of muddle-headed |U= fools who so misconstrued their duty as to think they should do as the coroner * told them.--Rockford Republican. What to See in Chicago. The problem, what to see in Chicago, is one that will vex every visitor. There is enough to see to keep one busy six months. Of course the great World's Fur will claim the larger part of one's time, but the great city of Chicago is none the less wonderful. Sixty years ago, the site of the city was the haunt of wolves; fifty years ago Chicago was a busy country town. Twenty odd years ago, when a city of 330,000 population, it was nearly swept from existence by the most awful fire ever kindled, to-day it is the home of over amillionand a half of people, and is one of the few really great cities of the world. No one will miss seeing Chicago, and none should fall to visit that most won­ derful scene, the Panorama oi the great Chicago Fire, as it shows truthfully and upon a scale of grandeur never before attempted, a magnificent bird's eye view of the entire city, while the great fire was at its height. Before the observers lie nearly two square miles of smoking ruins, five thou­ sand blazing buildings, and ten times as many refugees trying to save themselves from an awful death. No one visiting the World's Fur can afford to pass by this remarkable Exhibition. Its location on Michigan Ave., near Madison Street, brings it within easy walking distance of all the principal down-town hotels. A» Good MM , "Are you this mv^morT' Jones asked of Brown. "N-not exactly," said Brown, "but we're going to accomplish the same result without going from home at all." "What do you mean?" "Why, it's this way. You see, when a person of my means takes a cottage at the seashore he of eourle gets a poor sort of shanty, because we cant afford a large, finely finished and well furnished house. You know the sort of place the usual summer cottage is. Well, we've decided to accomplish the result in another way. We're going to move up into the attic, for the summer." "Move into the attic?" "Why, certain­ ly. It is unfinished, just like a seashore cottage. The sun beats down on the shingles and raises the temperature above 100 degrees every sunny summer day. That's just like a seashore cottage. There isn't by any means room enough in it for our large family, and that's like a sea­ shore cottage too. "When it rains, the water doesn't beat through our roof, to be sure, as it does through the roofs of seashore cottages, but we can remedy that by poking a few holes through the shingles here and there and getting the roof mended in the fall. It will smell a little stuffy, but that is eminently like a seashore cot­ tage. We shall k&p a clothesbasket full of unwashed shells standing in the corner to produce a realistic effects On the whole, we shall be ever so much more comfortable in our own accus­ tomed garret than we should be at the seaside, and we shall have this inestima­ ble advantage that when we get sick of it we can simply move right down into our own comfortable home, where­ as, if we were at the shore and paying a high price for a cottage, we should feel bound to stick it out to the bitter end. Oh, I tell you, it's a great scheme."-- Boston Transcript. Bullion* of ValaeleM Money. . Eighty million dollars in bills were WH ceived at Atlanta a day or two ago, the mammoth packages of money filling five large dry goods boxes and making in all a drayload. None of the bills was cur­ rent, however, as they represent "noth­ ing in God's earth now and naught in the waters below it." They were Con­ federate bills of the rarest type. The hugs pile of genuine Confederate money was shipped from Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy and is now the property of Charles D. Barker of At­ lanta. The money is of every denom­ ination issued by the departed nation, and in the big collection are bills of the rarest type. There are bills issued dur­ ing every year of the war. Thousands of them are very valuable as relics, but the great number of them Mr. Barker has on hand will make them so common as to bring but little on the market. This $80,000,000 of Confederate money has been all along supposed to have been destroyed. This is undoubtedly the largest lot of Confederate money in the world.--Savannah News. Bicycle Snlky Records. -* The veteran reinsman, Budd Doble, who drove Dexter when he made his fa­ mous record years ago and piloted Nan­ cy Hanks to the wire in 2:04 last season, agrees that the new records are not to be discounted because made with the pneu­ matic sulky. "The progress of tracks, sulkies, rig­ ging and horses is natural," he said.-The conditions under which Dexter made his record were far more favorable to speed than prevailed in the day of Flora Temple, and Maud S trotted under still more favorable conditions than Dexter, yet in each case the latter record was ac­ cepted as standard. Time and ingenuity may bring forth even greater aids to speed than the pres­ ent bicycle sulky and kite shaped track have proved to be, but they must be ac­ cepted as legitimate means of lowering the trotting record.--New York Herald. Jewish and Italian Immigration. More than one-third of the 52,000 im­ migrants who landed at this port last month were Italian and Jewish. The in­ flow of these races this year surpasses that of every other year. It is evident that both the Italians and the Jews are pleased with this country, and that those of them who have been here for some time give encouragement to others to come. For a short time the Jews of Rus­ sia found some trouble in getting passage to this country, especially from Ham­ burg, but when excluded from German ports they go to Belgian, Dutch, British or French ports, where plenty of steam­ ships are at their service, as can be seen by the arrival of so many of them here every week.--New York Sun.
