Nofc- ,R withstanding the hard times we are \ f ^leaeed to say the paper is in a flourish­ 's ; ing condition, and the liberal patronage * It is receiving from the public is indeed 'Jr itifying to us. Our subscription list is steadily increasing and the circulation of \ the PiiAiNDSALER is now second to no pv jpaper in McHenry or Lake counties. r" ; "We want no better endorsement than that. ! For the coming year we have no "i. :jv Special promises to make. We shall sim- '< r^ly strain every nerve to make the best •, - paper we know how, and if we receive the weed of praise accorded us in the past we •hall be satisfied. * It is not necessary to tell our readers -,v ' - ' that politically the Plaindealer will, as ^heretofore, be Republican. Neither will it be necessary to define oar position | ©very other week in order to convince our • V patrons and the public that we have not f - ehanged our faith. Our views on the ^ / 4]uestions of the day will be so clearly and plainly expressed that none need misinterpret them. But at the same i-, time we shall as freely condemn Bingisro " t end political trickery when found inside „ the Republican party as with the enemy, jfj; With these few remarks we shall next || ' week commenoe unfolding the pages of W*' ' Volume 20. The Democratic party is very thankful for Bmall favors nowadays. It is effu­ sively joyful over certain utterances of Col. Conger, of Akron, Ohio, who has heretofore been known as a Republican, and who may call himself one now, but who is exhibiting various signs of crank­ iness and heresy. Col. Conger is now in New York dispensing aid and comfort to the Cleveland organs by saying things which they eagerly print. His utterances are briefly to this effect: That McKinley is an unpopular man, that the Ohio Re­ publicans adopted a bad platform, and that the pending tariff measure would be more satisfactory to the people of Ohio than the McKinley law is. Now, whatever may be the matter with Col. Conger, this last utterance gives him away completely so far as he may make any pretense of being delegated or quali­ fied to speak for the people of Ohio. The citizens of that state, as well as of nearly all the Northern states, have recently, ex­ pressed their opinion of tariff reform ac­ cording to Democracy. By overwhelming majorities they have condemned the assault on protection and declared their belief that the McKinley law should not be interfered with. These emphatic ver­ dicts at the ballot box are more convinc­ ing than the assertions of an individual named Conger. The former are expres­ sions of the popular will; the latter are the statements of a person who is evi­ dently disgruntled about someth ing. Col. Conger seems to have parted with his Re­ publicanism on the main issue about as thoroughly as Senator Murphy has abandoned his Democracy on the collar and cuff question. In addition, the Ohio man show symptoms of mental dizziness No doubt he enjoys the small notoriety he is gaining through the Democratic prints. We do not begrudge him and his new organs the good time they are hav­ ing, but their partnership has its comic aspects, and cannot in the least change the great facts of the situation or divert the current of public sentiment from its course. .If ' I'HE OSEAT STRIKER, P's,. ( 'ffe# great strike which is i®*- on <,among the railroad employees is one of - the worst ever known in this country. - , Indeed it effects all parts of the country, *3 &nd while trains are running somewhat ? irregularly there is such aa uncertainty !" - of what is to come next that the travel- ~s.ff : log public are afraid to start from home, i>>» and those that are away are anxious to 5 ,;* return at the first opportunity. The freight traffic has almost entirely ceased, {; ' And by express even nothing is certain. f ^ '*jEven the mails are irregular and off time §£ -w^and are liable at any minute to cease • ifentiraly. In Chicago the question of provisions f; • >for the people is getting to be a serious , t |t^ one- Right here in a land of plenty, un- ^, <Jer a free govern mpnt, our citizens are brought to threatened starvation by the acts of a mob, whose only grievance is I that they are not allowed to run the busi p* ness of their employers, who have mag- nanimously kept them at work through ^ - a long, cold winter, even at a loss to • themselves. It is high time the authori c ties of both State and Nation took hold |y of this matter with an iron hand. We . have had a kid glove policy too long, ? The quicker these mob societies and their »•< ' ' high salaried walking delegates learn Ife' that this country has laws and our citi- ^ zens rights which they must respect, the V*V:'- •' better it will be for all. What the out- come of the present situation win be it is * *- at present hard to tell. THE BBKATOKIAIrCON VKNTiOW The Senatorial Convention for this the Eighth District, was held at Woodstock on Monday, and as per their call, put in nomination three candidates for mem­ bers of the Legislature, as follows: K. J. Beck, of McHenry; Geo. R. Lyon, ol Lake, and Geo. Reed, of Boone. The convention done its work quickly, being in session, we are informed, less than an hour." As we go to press one day early? this week, in order that our help may ceUj ebrate the Fourth, and the official pro* ceedings of the convention not having come to hand, we shall deferfurther com­ ments until next week. Getting "Hoked" is the western vet­ eran's expressive way of saying that be has been buncoed by a Hoke Smith pen­ sion decision. By the same token tbe country ha& been Grdvered. The war is really over in Georgia. A rebel brigadier has been forced to with­ draw from the contest for the guberna­ torial nomination, in order to escape be­ ing defeated by a mate who wasn't.even in the army. * When archists are treated like small­ pox patients the assassination of officials will be less frequent. The adjutant general of Colorado is not a believer in the fuss and feathers method of doing things. Nor does he ap­ prove of the use of tar as a coating for militiamen. When it isn't a trust it i* a syndicate- merely a change'of name--that controls every act of the Democrats in Congress. The man who goes to Congress expect­ ing to revolutionize its method of doing business is seldom heard of after he gets to Washington. - The sugar trust is trying to work the Democrats of the House through impe­ cunious Democratic editors in their dis­ tricts. If you hear of a Democratic editor having changed his mind about tbe necessity of free sugar, just put him down as having been sugarrcured by the trust. If Dick Croker should take a notion to tell that investigating committee all he knows some big Democrats will wish he had remained in Europe. The worst snub of all was Tammany's refusal to have Congressman Breckin­ ridge talk at its 4th of July pow wow. A man whose morals are too bad for Tammany will have to look to the here­ after for congenial companionship. L6w Rate a to Colorado. On July 21st and 22d the Northwest­ ern Line will sell excursion tickets to Denver, Pueblo and Colorado Springs and return at exceedingly low rates; good for return passage until August 25th, inclusive.

The government has evidently fallen into the hands of thieves." y The Populists don't want anything to do with Gresham. Chairman Taube- neck has written a letter to the Populist organ in Indianapolis denying the report that the Populists of this1 state will take up Secretary Gresham for United States senator. He says: "We have men in Illinois in the Populist ranks who are bigger and broader and abler to defend our principles than the gentleman at the head ol Cleveland's cabinet." keep none but tbe best and guarantee everything to be just as represented Our Prices ar<* the Lowest. \ c.v jr.' XA80N ixr NORTHERN ILLINOIS. Sentiment in northern Illinois seems to favor a nomination for senator by the Republicans in the state convention, and friends of Win. E. Mason regard this as asign in his favor. The Rockford Even ing Republican has this to say in the matter: v The Chicago Inter Ocean is out in an i editorial with a declaration for a nomi nation for United States senator by tbe Republican convention. It takes the ground that the action of the Democrat­ ic convention renders similar action im perative on the part of the Republican : convention. While many Republicans, and perhaps a majority of them, in this section agree with the Inter Ocean that a nomination should be made, they do not agree with it as to its candidate. It is in favor of Senator Cullom, although admitting that "Mr. Mason is a brainy man and a splendid campaigner," and also admitting that "Senator Cullom is not a brilliant man." What the Repub­ lican party wants, if a nomination is to be made, is a splendid campaigner." It wants a man whocan meet and vanquish Franklin MacVeagh or any other Demo­ crat in Illinois. Wm. E. Mason is such a man. He enrtsifiiy is stronger in Cook county with the people than Cullom, and his great strength in northern Illinois has been demonstrated already in the conventions. Cook county will be the battle ground this year, and this section of the state will be relied upon, as it always has been, to roll up the big ma­ jority for the Republican ticket. Such being the case, the man who is strongest in Cook and in this section of the state and who can shake up the dry bones of Democracy ail over the state the hardest ' should be named. Wm. E. Mason is the man. The Republican has a standing in northern Illinois that will give to this opinion considerable weight. And Mr. Mason goes merrily on his way gather- big delegates to his banner as county after county chooses lis men. Cook may . have a senator in spite of itself. ST The boast of Pension Commission­ er Lochren thathis department will show a surplus of $25,000,000 this year in place of the f50,000,000 deficit predicted by his Republican predecessor, will be rather meager consolation to oJd sol­ diers who wore the blue, especially those who voted for men who are defrauding Union veterans of pensions due them. And yet thousands of Uncle Sam's veter­ ans keep right on voting with and for the Rebel Brigadiers, !mty I^Tbe salary of the President Of file United States is to be exempt from the operation of the proposed Income Tax law. It is beyond the understanding of any save Democratic Senators that the incomes of government officials of any kind should be exempt from taxation There is no reason in the world why they should not contribute to the support of the government. Men who draw salaries from the government can best afford to assist the government.

The pro­ vincial "New" figures altogether too prominently in the geographical nomen­ clature of the country. With one great state bearing the name of an unimpor­ tant Eugiir-Ii pioviucittl city, another that of an English county, another that of an insignificant island in the English channel, each with the prefix of "New," we certainly have enough of the "News," without adding another to the list. These names have become so familiar to us that their suggestions to our minds have nothing to do with their origin. But to tbe Englishman, more familiar with York, Hampshire and Jersey, than with their transatlantic namesakes, tbey cannot bnt convey a belittleing impres­ sion. The suggestions of "New Mexico," to Americans who know little more than the name of that territory, are not Ad­ vantageous to tbe would-be state. There ought to be a state named Lin­ coln in this Union. We are inclined to doubt if New Mexico, at present, is quite worthy to bear it. But if this territory is to be admitted to the Union, as seems probable, it would be well for its own ii - terests if the new state bore so honorable W. L. Douglas $3 SHOE IS THE aCST. NO SQUCAKINO.
