M9* Among the highly priced treasures of & Chicago man is the following auto­ graph letter from Abraham Lincoln, written in October, 1861 "The lady- bearer of this--says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at it. if possible. Wanting to work is so rare a merit that it should be encouraged. . M^The sale of the abandoned World's Fair exhibits at Chicago, seems to have been conducted on thelites of the auction referred to in that famous ditty, "The Bowery." "I sold you the box not the socks," says Deputy Collector Durbur- row to the guildless gentlemen who pur­ chased bottles of water supposing them to be bottles full of wine. IdT" The Chicago Journal says: Bet­ tor things were expected of Senator Cul- lom than that he should stand between Hie Senatorial speculators in sugar and light of a searching inquiry. There f no satisfactory excuse in Senatorial rtesy why Senators should stick to­ gether to prevent a clearing of Senatorial skirts from a scandal as publicly charg­ ed and as popularly believed as this. The inference is natural and general that tbey stick together because they are •meared with the same stick. H*B* XS A UNM0N. The Atlanta Constitution baa things somewhat mixed. It says: The British by adopting the policy of free trade have made their country the world's workshop. They take the raw material of every land, manufacture it, and send it back to its producers. Tbey take a pound of American cotton for 7 cents and send it back in shapes that command from 20 to 100 cents a pound Here is a lesson for our people. We cannot get rich by producing raw mater­ ial for other nations and sections to manufacture. A whole volume of politi cal economy is summed np in these statements. The fact is that the British built up their great manufactories by a tariff that was not only protective but prohibitive. The duties and penalties were more re­ strictive than anythiug ever proposed by the most radical American protectionist. A little over forty years ago Great Britain, deeming herself se -ore against competition, adopted free trade. Amer­ ica then had but insignificant manufac turing interests. But within the past thirty years this country, through the policy of protection, has filled itself with workshops and established a great vol­ ume and variety of home industries. We now manufacture thousands of articles for which we were formerly dependent on England, and afford great diversity of profitable employment for labor. This is what has caused the United States to make such long strides in prosperity and wealth. But the Constitution is right when it says: "Here is a lesson for our people. We cannot get rich by producing raw material for other nations and sections to manufacture." Exactly. This truth underlies the principle of protection. The reformers at Washington propose to disregard the principle by ordaining that we 'shall purchase more manufactured goods from abroad and produce less at home. The Republican plan is the re­ verse of this. It proposes to shield do­ mestic industries against cheap foreign competition, and keep our own working people employed in turning raw materia! into merchantable articles. This policy has been magnificently vindicated by a quarter of a century of experience, and those who would now abandon it are daily finding themselves repudiated by an injured and indignant people. IBT* The trouble over armor plates be­ tween the government and Sir. Carnegie is still a snbject of much talk, although the inside history of the affair is not yet known. On March 8th "Mr. Frick, Of the Carnegie works, telegraphed to Secretary Herbert that be would like to make a public statement. The secretary replied: "If you make a statement we will make one, too." No statement was made by either side. The brief interchange of messages would seem to indicate that Secretary Herbert could make public some facts that would not be agreeable to the Carnegies. » Wf He was a good, honest old fanner who voted for Cleveland, our gracious sovereign; bat he didn't vote for Liliuok- alani and a great many other thing? which the administration has insisted on giving us. The great business depression and thousands of men ont of employ­ ment from one end of the country to the other was the one thing that worried him. The low price of wheat was also a source of annoyance. He was one day bewailing the wretched low price of horses when a iriend chanced to ask him to what be attributed the remarkable depression ill the horse market. "I can't tell," says be, "unless it is on account of the government being in the possession of a lot of jackasses." view of the recent hateful and Unpatriotic utterances of southern Con­ gressmen at Washington, the Elgin News takes occasion to make the follow Isgg comment, which is not overdrawn: !. Rebellion is almost as blatant in con- Jgress as it was in 1861, and should be very promptly suppressed. Representa- "tive Meridith speaking on the pension appropriation bill took occasion to abuse and villify the union soldiers. He brutally asserted that every rebel Boldier had killed at least one man and wounded several more on the union side. The south claims to disapprove of all such mouthings; now is its chance to criticise most severely one of their number who not only utters foolishness but treason. There should be a way of reaching such men and surpressing them. They kept up the fire of hate and are really the y: souths worst enemies. IXPOBTANT TO BBPTJBLICANS. At a meeting of the Republican State Central Executive Committee, held in Chicago, March 7th, 1894, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That a full meeting of the State Central Committee be called to meet in Chicago, April 10th, for the pur­ pose of fixing the date at which the State Convention shall be held. Resolved, That Congressional and Senatorial Committeemen be requested to defer calling District Conventions un- till after the State Convention be held. The above resolutions were offered for the purpose of notifying committeemen and other Republicans throughout the state, that we propose attacking the Democratic Gerrymander, in which we believe we will be successful; and also that all active Republicans may have an op­ portunity to report as to the condition of the party in their several districts, on the date mentioned. Let all interested Republicans, without further notice, come together for an old time love feast. J AS. H, CLARK, Chairman. h ^Though "dead he yet speaketh." In 1888, Jan^es G. Blaine said in a speech: Were it possible for every voter of the republic to see, himself, the condition and recompense of labor in Europe, the party of free trade in the United States would not receive the support of one wage- worker between the two oceans. It may be directly in our power as philanthro­ pists to elevate European labor. But it will be a lasting stigma upon our states­ manship if we permit the American labor­ er to be forced down to the European level. Yet this leveling down process is pre­ cisely what the Democrats are doing, and Gen. Black and other leaders boldly de­ clare that if the tariff is "reformed" man­ ufacturing in this country will only be resumed at the same wages here as is paid in the same line abroad. STARVING CAB HORSES. Owtag to th« Bard Times They Hm H*1 to Go Without Working Ration*. No enthusiastic mass meetings or charity balls or dry goods sales have been held for the thousands of unem­ ployed, crippled and half starved horses throughout the city. But their suffer­ ings have been none the less severe be- causo there is no powerful relief asso­ ciation to aid them. They cannot beg or steal, sleep in the city hall or eat soup at a free kitchen, and when they drop down in their tracks from hunger and cold the agent for the rendering company comes and hauls them away at the expense of the taxpayers. Last month the number so disposed of reached into the thousands. It was more than per cent larger than at any corre­ sponding period during the last decade. Hard times came on, and the hun­ dreds of expressmen, cabmen, peddlers and junk dealers were among the first to suffer. Their wages were curtailed, and they found it difficult to find enough food for their Wives and children, to say nothing of paying rent and feeding their horses. If they sold out their "stands" on the corners where they had been stationed for years, every visible means of support would vanish, and their families would be compelled to de­ pend on charity. Consequently they made their horses share the hunger of their children and are earning what they can. Last week a cabman was bailed by a gentleman from the corner of Wabash avenue and Van Buren street. He want­ ed to be driven in a hurry to an address on North Clark street. The cabman cracked his whip, and the cab went rat­ tling along the pavement. Just as they reached the incline leading to the Dear­ born avenue bridge the vehicle sudden­ ly stopped, and a moment later the horse fell. It could not be induced to rise and died where it had fallen. The cabman explained, with tears in his eyes: "I couldn't make enough money to feed him and my children both^ and he had to get along on hay, and very little of that. This morning I found him shivering in the shed, and I suppose cold and hrnger have killed him." It is but one instance among the many. --Chicago Record. ELECTRICITY'S NEW TRIUMPH. Practical Experience In Telegraphing and Telephoning Without Wires. Genuine progress is being made to­ ward th#next great electrical triumph --telegraphing and telephoning without wires. The latest results of English ex­ periments were described in a lecture before the Society of Arts on Thursday by W. H. Preece. A copper wire a half mile long was hung on poles on the coast near Cardiff, the earth completing the circuit. Six hundred yards away an­ other wire 600 yards long and parallel with the original line was buried in the sand at the low water mark. More than three miles off on Flat Holme island another wire, also 600 yards and par­ allel, was laid down. An alternating current, controlled by a Morse key, was sent through the first wire. The signals were reproduced in the wire on the is­ land and read by a pair of telephones. Messages were easily sent. Similar ex­ periments at 5% miles were partly suc­ cessful. The human voice was easily transmitted by the same means 1% miles. Preece's critics contend that the re­ sults were due to conduction through the earth. He maintains that the re­ sults were due to electromagnetic in­ duction of the rapidly alternating cur­ rent in the primary circuit, throwing the surrounding ether into oscillations, and the energy was radiated in electric waves. These waves, he says, spread out like waves of light, and if they fall on conductors properly placed and sym­ pathetically prepared are reconverted into an alternate current in the second­ ary circuit. Enthusiasts on the subject argue that we are fast getting on the track of thesecret which, when secured, will enable us to communicate with other planets.--New York Sun's Lon­ don Letter. ; IW Chicago has a dancing clnb com posed of deaf mutes. The other evening they had a ball which was participated in by 150 couples. One who was asked how they got along explained that lew felt the vibrations in the floor, some had a sort of instinct for the time of tnusic, and others caught the movement Of sight of their neighbors. If he wanted a partner for a quadrille he simply passed th«t first two fingers of the right hand vertically across the palms of the left . ,^ud he thought that much easier and quicker than the formal method of people f»ho Kpeak.

W Poor Josiah Quincy ! When the charge was first made that he had or­ ganized a lithographing company and awarded it fat government contracts while he was Mr. Cleveland's assistant secretary of state, when cornered Mr Quincy at first refused to talk, but was finally forced to admit enough to satisfy inquiring minds that he was in it for all it was worth. Quincy is an illustration of the fact, borne out by [experience, that the fellow who poses as a reformer is generally a fraud and a self-seeker. F. week TERRA COTTA. L. Babcock was in Chicago last H.

More milk is shipped daily from this station than from any town on this line. Work is slack at the Terra Cotta works at present and a number of hands have been laid off. The Cost of Electricity. The past 15 years have not witnessed expected progress in tbe cheapening of electricity. The reason is that inven­ tion has not as yet enabled more than a small percentage of the energy of coal to be turned to electricity. A limit seems to have been fixed as to its cost when produced by coal, and any extensive introduction of it as a motive power in the near future seems to de­ pend upon the utilization of water pow­ er. There is a wide field for its produc­ tion by this means. There are hundreds of waterfalls nowrnnning to waste over the country that can and probably will be utilized in the production of elec­ tricity if the Niagara falls tunnel is a financial and commercial success.-- Philadelphia Press.

Prepare your Easter eggs. This is sorely an early spring. Spring trade is growing brisk. Gardening has commenced. House cleaning time has arriv The fine weather is bringing ont the bicycles. The grass un the lawns is getting green. We had the green Christmas, now what about a white Easter. • J. G. Hartnian, of Ridgefield, called on Woodstock friends on Saturday. Eugene Saunders, of Harvard, was here an business last Friday. _Wm. Hamilton, of Harvard, visited with friends here on Friday last. H. E. Saunders, of Chicago, was the guest of Woodstock friends Sunday. Sheriff Asad Udell was in Chicago the latter part of last week on business. Fred Rathbun, of Harvard, spent Sun­ day with his brother in this city. Last Saturday was St. Patrick's Day, and green predominated. Geo.

Schrench and Miss Emma Eckert of Elgin, spent Sunday at the latters home in this city. Wheat sowing is completed and some of the farmers have sowed considerable oats. C. F. and Ensil Ellsworth, of Chicago, spent Sunday with relatives here and in Seneca. Sunday was a warm, rainy day--regu­ lar April weather--and everybody ha* to stay in doors. F. K. Granger, John White, McHenry, A. S. Wright, R. W. Overton, Robt. Esh and Reed Corr, Richmond were Wood-I stock visitors last Monday. The St. Patrick's dance at the Armo:. last week Friday evening given under th" auspices of Company G., was largely attended and proved highly enjoyable. Contractor O. J. Larson has secure the job of building the new barn for P Rose and commenced work on Monday last with a force of men The work wii be pushed as rapidly as possible. J oseph Beck, of Oregon, has just re-] turned from an extended visit with rela­ tives in the East, and stopped off here over Sunday while on his way home to visit with the family of Geo. F. Mills, our popular jeweler. F. E. Gillespy, the optician, has been here again this week looking after the wants of our people in the way of eye glasses. He is located at M. Sherman's jewelry store and will remain all this week. Farmers should look out for the gro­ cery salesmen who are traveling through the couutry selling goods, These "fakirs" are mostly swindlers and can­ not be trusted. Buy your goods of the home merchant. The band boys gave a concert in the Park last Saturday evening which was greatly appreciated by our people. The boys are doing the right thing and it is hoped that they will give weekly con­ certs during the summer. The Woodstock Steam Laundry is now in shape to receive work of all kinds and are getting a good patronage. The size of the packages sent to other towns last week were very small, and from ap­ pearances we should judge that our people believe in patronizing home industries. The month of March has done remark­ ably well in the way of weather, even the oldest inhabitant cannot remember the time when the first half of the month of March was as warm and dry as it was this year, and farmers were able to get to work early and have already done considerable sowing.

THE Polish Persecutions. Great indignation is felt among the sculptors and art dealers of Warsaw over a recent rescript of the police of that city. The guardians of the peace, in obedience to orders from St. Peters­ burg, visited all the stores and studios and destroyed all the busts of the Pol­ ish heroes, -Thaddeus Kosciusko and Josef Powniatowski, which they could find. All sculptors in the city were obliged to send a written communica­ tion to the City officials promising not to make busts or statues of the two men in the future.
