It baa violated its pledge to the North to befriend the masses by galling out to the sugar trust. It has been false to every promise of the last campaign. It is utterly indifferent to the cry of the country for relief. It baa proven itself unworthy of the confidence of the people. Yet occca&ionatty we find a man who is still a Democrat.--Every Saturday. I6TSenator Palmer is one of the men who voted for the sugar trust swindle against the interests of the people of Illinois. He hew denounced trusts fiercely and yet he voted for tens of millions to (he worst one in the United States. He has made loud speeches urging "econo­ my and retrenchment," and yet he voted at a time when the government is in sore need of money to pay its expenses, to give away fully 50 millions. He is vot­ ing now to make sugar 40 per cent dearer and the tax to go into the coffers of the sugar trust six or eight or ten months, fie ought to loose no time in explaining why be so voted.--Tribune. Bemooiwk* »• ©emooraojr* The way a lot of the Democrat!*} news­ papers are "going for the Wilson bill is not the way Mr. Cleveland would like to have them go. For instance; the New York Post describe® it as a "coward's and corruptiouist's bill." The Louisville Courier-Journal characterizes it as "a mongrel piebald of patches and pusillan­ imity, a grotesque hodge-podge of pre­ tend and pettifogging." The Baltimore Sun affirms that the passage of such a bill would be "at once a legislative fiasco, a party humiliation, and a national misfortune." The New York World describes the bill" as "trust be­ gotten," and says that "no defense is possible " The Boston Herald says that the bill ' may be tariff reduction, but it isn't tariff reform by a jugful." The Manchester Union thinks that the enact­ ment of the bill "will work injury where lit will be the most harmful in results." The New York Times pronounces the measure '*an itemized bill of sale of the votes of various Democratic Senators " The Springfield Republican insists that * there is no record in the whole history of 6ougress parallel to this display of incompetency." The Providence Journal and the Brooklyn Eagle have expressed themselves in similar terms and with equal fervor. All of these papers, says the Boston Journal, gave warm support in 1892 to Mr. Cleveland and the Democratic candi­ dates for Congress. There are no organs of the Democratic party which have a better right to speak for it than they. We should like to ask these papers a single question and we hope that among them there will be some who will be frank enough to answer it. If they believe the bill to be as bad and mischievous as they say, and we are not disposed to affirm that they in the least exaggerate its ini­ quity, why do they blame Republicans for trying to prevent its passage? Nay, why do J hey not lend their own large influence to defeat the bill ? DR. HOWE, --SPECIALIST. Act! yrlgtra"' r «f the Direct * *•>* rti <eases Of lift;./;. V.* Citaxrh.

Hie renominatioo of Albert J. Hopkins as a member of the Congressional delega­ tion from Illinois in an event that will be approved by (the Republicans of the state. During the ten years in which he sat in Congress as Representative of the Filth District Mr. Hopkins has become distinguished alike for dose attention to Interests local to his constituency and for unswerving adherence to Republican principle. Mr. Hopkins is a growing man who al- liiady has impressed so favorably the BepubHcans of the State as to be regard­ ed among the possibilities or probabili­ ties of the next convention that shall as­ semble for the purpose of nominating a Governor. Mu"h of the old Fifth district is comprised in the new Eighth, so that Mr. Hopkins is on his old camping fnround, and as the district is good for 12,000 Republican majority in ordinary times no one need be astonished if in ^ i these days of landslides from Democracy Mr. Hopkins be elected by 20,000 over WsDemocratic competitor.-- Inter Ocean. ftV, From the W&ukeftan Gazette FOB REPRESENTATIVE. |y The suggestion of the Republican Sena- ^>!:iortal committee to nominate three can- £validates for Representatives will give to '1' Lake county one of the candidates. For this position Mr. George R Lyon, . Of our city is a candidate, and as we hear ;g||?^fjf no other candidate, will probably be f* endorsed by this county at the conven- r r - tion to be held on next Thursday. Such ^ action will put a good man in the field to make the fight next fall. Mr. Lyon is one of our leading business men and Re- publicans, is about 48 years old, having feeeu born in this city in 1846. During < * the war he served three months in the - . 69th Illinois and then enlisted in the 64th Illinois and served to the close of the 7< war, and was with Sherman in bis March to the Sea. He served three terms as : Supervisor for this town and the last .„ ferm was chairman of the Board.

The New York Mail and Express a8- verte editorially to the fact that Mc- Kane, the Gravesend "boss" now serv­ ing time in Sing Sihg prf*oarper^>etrated the frauds in 1884 which gave Newark's electoral vote to Cleveland, and \hus made him President. Its article is en­ titled "How Biaiue was Defeated," and is as follows: The confession of Justice Sutherland in the Gravesend matter that for years the Gravesend elections have been fraud­ ulently conducted reminds us that Grover Cleveland was elected to the presidency in 1884 by a vote of the state of New York, and that he carried this state by a plurality of only 1.149. In the light of recent disclosures in this state there cannot be a particle of doubt that this plurality was frauduleut. No one can donbt that in any one of the counties of New York, Kings, Albany or Rensselaer more than 1,149 fraudulent votes were cast or counted for Grover Cleveland. Thus was James G. Blaine defrauded of an honor to which he was fairly en­ titled, and which the American people would gladly have given him. Of course the fiaud of 1884 cannot be undone. Cleveland served the four years for which Blaine was really elected, and the latter sleeps in the tomb. The des­ picable frauds perpetrated by a miserable political boss in Gravesend, changed the course of American history. With Blaine in the Presidency, the magnificent pro­ gramme his wise and far-seeing states­ manship had mapped out would have been realized. We should have by this time monopolized the Pan-American trade, under reciprocity.^ The silver question would have been settled. The I country would to day have been prosper­ ous and happy. The eight years of Blaine's administration--for no one c%n doubt that he^ouTd "have be^n trium phantTyi^etgcted in lHRfcf--would have formed a new epoch in our progress, and the ship of state would not*have been directed on the shoals and quicksands of Democratic incapacity and wrong headed ness. We can not undo the evil that was done, but the incident should quicken the American people to maintain that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty.

MrChauncey M. Depew says:. "There pre several ways for a man to feel good -in times o! adversity, one way Is to look at those who are worse off than he is; the other way is to join Coxey's army. There are two other ways to break ad­ versity s ravages; one is to commit sui­ cide, and the other is to cheerful and courageously do the best you can and not cry. Suicide is cowardice, and a confession of one's inability to meet the situation. Besides you are not sure but you will be worse off afterwards. The place where yon KO after having committed suicide may be a place where no possible efforts on your part can re­ lieve adversity. David Crockett, the famous Kentucky hunter, said when he missed the coon that he always picked his flint and tried it again. In tb^t way he always ultimately got his breakfast. A man in adversity may not return where he was before, but if he preserves his cheerfulness, doesn't drink, doesn't become a tramp, doesn't 'drop out,' but does the best be can to find a place that will hold him and support him he will get there, and then it will depend largely on himself how much his fortune over­ comes bis troubles in the past." 19"Rambler, in Elgin Eveiy Satarday, gets off the following: "I am glad to see that the churches are taking up the Fourth of July idea and propose to cele­ brate. Let ub have a good old-time, hip- hurrah observance of the day most mem­ orable in American history. The landing of Columbus, the coming of the Pilgrims, the surrender at Appomattox are all events that should receive more atten­ tion, but over and above all stands that memorable date when we cut the apron strings and served notice on Mother England that we were "getting to be a big boy now." True, we are not as inde­ pendent as we might be, for the thugs of New Tork city and Chicago own this country and sway its political destinies, but our only hope lies in a perpetual stirring up of what little patriotism there is. "All men are created equal." Equal to what? Is the Hun who fired the Spring Valley mine the born equal of George Washington? Is the Pole who shot the tnu-es of his employer and threw them down the shaft the born equal of Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams? Is J. P. Altgeld the born equal of Abra­ ham Lincoln ? There is a good deal of 'rot' in our political declarations, but nevertheless, hurrah for the Fourth of July.
