It did not require the added experience of the recent railway strike to demon­ strate that strikes are essentially costly luxuries.

I |t is now nearly three months since the K«publican County Convention was held in this county, and with the exception of rumors of an independent movement by some of the defeated candidates, but little if anything, has been said or done in the canvass. This is no doubt due to the fact that the Republicans of McHenry county, as a class, are in favor of a short canvass, believing that a short, sharp fight will accomplish more good, and be of more benefit to the cause, than if strung out over a period of four or five months. And in this we think they are right*- As regards the County Convention there were some things iu its proceedings which we did not personally approve of and things which Republicans will do well to steer clear of in the future if they wish to promote harmony in the ranks. But at present we shall not discuss this point, it is enough for the present to know that the State and Nation is in the hands of an unscrupulous and dishonest political enemy, and it behooves every Bepublican to take off bis coat and by his voice and vote help to roll up an old- time Bepublican majority for the State, ..County, Congressional and Legislative ticket. And in this contest the PLAIN- DEALEB, as a Republican paper, will be found in the front ranks, from now until November, fighting "for every name on the ticket from top to bottom, State, County and District. The ticket from State Treasurer down is a good one, be­ ing composed of tried and true men, and Is entitled to receive the vote of every consistent Republican. No little differ­ ences in convention should induce any Bepublican who has the good of his party at heart to consort with the enemy as there is absolutely nothing to be gained thereby. Brother Babcock, in the Marengo Republican of two weeks ago, voices OT sentiments when be says: "The campaign of 1894 is only a prelude to the great campaign of 1896, and every Bepublican should see to it that his best efforts are directed to solidifying the Bepublican ranks and putting the party in the best shape possible for a grand •ictory two years hence. The only thing that will result in a defeat is over confi­ dence or factional fights. The personal claims of no man upon his party are greater than the party, and men who can see in the party only the 'loaves and fishes,' cannot be relegated to the rear any too soon for the good of the party The steps in a convention leading up to omination may sometimes be open to icism, but when the nominees present- the result of the convention are , worthy men, and accepted by the delegates in the convention without dis­ sent, then there seems.. little cause for complaint. If conventions are not to decide the nominees of the party, why do we call them ? " "* The above are true words well spoken, and should be remembered. Let no voter be deceived. It would be a sorry day when the Republican voters of Mc­ Henry county would be obliged to go over to the Democratic party to find re­ form in her conventions. The regular ticket nominated at the convention May 22d is entitled to every Republican vote i# the county.

" The murderer of President Carnot has been sentenced to the guillotine. His trial occupied loss than 24 hours, and there will be none of the delays and ap­ peals which obstruct the swift meeting oijt of justice to criminals in the United States. Santo was allowed to express bis views fully, and be made it clear that he, being an anarchist, had committed it-e&luieuI oi such subjects, bos compiled fct iun «>f uimrub.v to strike dowu the rejn Totai §81,000 oro In view of the fact that Eugene V. Debs, the instigator and leader of the move­ ment, has publicly declared his intention of never engaging in another strike move­ ment, these figures are terribly sugges­ tive. This statement, by the moving spirit of the strike, is an admission that the movement was not founded upon good and sufficient reasons; for a good cause is not defeated by one repulse. It is significant aud sad that, of the total coat of $81,000,000 the enormous sum of f55,000,000 falls directly upon labor, in one form or another. And this is the universal experience in sympathetic strikes inaugurated and conducted by demagogues of the character of Debs. There is something radically wrong in the system of organized labor which per­ mits the recent graduate of a hospital for confirmed dipsomaniacs to precipi­ tate large bodies of skilled workmen into a struggle that cost them many millions of dollars. The fact that the man who caused all this loss coolly announces his intention to refrain from efforts of ^the, kind f orthe future, will scarcely avail to console his victims, or cause them to re­ flect upon the experience of the past? few weeks with any great degree of satis­ faction. "Disrespect for Law." Under this head the Woodstock Senti­ nel made the following pointedly, perti­ nent observations, which we heartily en­ dorse : "If officers of the law totally disregard the statutes that have been placed in the books for their guidance in the transac­ tion of public business, how are men whose tendencies are toward lawlessness to be expected to respect and obey laws that are calculated for their restraint? ^ An Illinois statute declares that ihe official ballots of every township shah be published in one paper of each of the dominant parties prior to the election for which they are prepared, and yet several of the ballots in McHenry county were published in papers that have no politics. Is not this disobedience of law? Another state statute declares that officers who have the handling of pfablic money shall publish annually an itemized statement of their acts and doings. This is an act that the residents of no township, city or village have the right to nullify by their votes, and no public officer to whom it applies has the right to disregard, and yet it is disregarded by some officers right here in McHenry county. If public officers sworn to obey the law will not obey it, is not there a premium put upon lawlessness and a bad example set for those whose tendencies are toward lawlessness?" resent atives of law and social order whenever there is opportunity offered. Many people think that men holding such wild views are necessarily insane, but they are not. Anarchy assumes that law is necessarily oppressive tyranny and that the only way to achieve perfect free­ dom is to destroy all laws, and allow every man to do as he pleases. That this doctrine, carried out, would mean a return to primitive barbarism ought to be clear to any one. The present social order is the result of progressive evolu­ tion since man's career began on earth, and that process is still going on. An­ archy would reverse this process, not hasten it. It would Bet the world back instead of pushing it forward. The social forces should all aid evolution--but rev­ olution is not evolution. , Beyond Redemption. During a temperance excitement at Areola, 111., some time ago an incident occurred that is now first seen in print. A blacksmith there was a confirmed drinker. All efforts to reform him had been in vain, and at last some of his friends concluded to try a desperate rem­ edy as a last resort. They-got him dead drunk and put him in a pine box. Then they carried him out to thecemetery and put the box in agrave that had been dug for use the next day. The friends waited for the development. Early in tbemorn- ing they heard him moving in the box and soliloquizing aloud. "Dead, am 1? Dead and buried. Buried in my old clothes. Shows what they think of a fel­ low when he's gone. Wonder what I died of? T can't remember anything at all about it." About this time the top, which had been lightly fastened came loose and the toper sprang to his feet, looked around the cemetery and shouted "Resurrection b-gosh. First man above ground. Bet the drinks on it." The experiment was a failure and the smith was drunk again befoie night.-- Marengo Republican. Hp-The following card, clipped from the Hebron 7 ribune of August 1, is self- explanatory : HEBRON, III., July 30,1894. Under date of July 28, 1894, John A. Dufield, editor McHenry County Demo­ crat, sees fit to make an uncalled for and malicious attack upon me relative to my reports to the Hon. Board of Supervis­ ors. He states that ,my reports were "garbled" to the Board and that it is safe to say the printing bills belong with the majority, the Sentinel Company. Al­ low me through your esteemed paper to inform Mr. Dufield that for once, at least, he is in error. The Sentinel Com­ pany does not have the bills from the County Superintendent's office. My re­ ports to the Board of Supervisors are not garbled. Every item, with date, amount, voucher from whom purchased or work done, is presented to the Board and has always been in a satisfactory manner. The Board of Supervisors' of McHenry county, in our estimation if not in Mr. Dufield's, is composed of honora­ ble men, who would not allow or pass upon garbled reports. Yours, ( WILL E. WIRE, Co. Supt. of Schools. I®" The Peoria Transcript contained thefollowing: "Last night two hogs, each weighing about seventy-two pounds, and a fatgoose belonging to S. Wainscott were blown from his barn yard and have not been heard from since." Now comes the funny part of the story. About 2 o'clock the same night, another farmer, T. J. Hancock, near Elmwood, Ind., while getting in some stock out of a storm, was surprised beyond measure at two hogs and a gooso dropping exhaust' ed, but uninjured, together from the blackness of the clouds. Their starting point was all a mystery until Mr. Han­ cock happened fipon the item in the paper and wrote for a description of the animals. So sure is hp that the strange trio in his lot are the same, having made the aerial voyage of over two hundred miles safely at lightning speed, that he wrote the man to come after his stock. 1ST There was great excitement on the Board of Trade in Chicago last week. May corn took a jump from 53 cents and in fifteen minutes was selling for GO cents presenting the unusual feature of corn selling for three cents more for a bushel of 56 pounds than 60 pounds of wheat. The cause of the great rise is natural, the continued drouth having reduced the prospective crop of an estimated harvest of 2,500,000,000 bushels to less than half that quantity. This was the general feeling that produced the panicky condi- £ion, and how much further the boom may be carried is a problem to dealers who have passed a life-time in the exoit- ing scenes of speculative trade.

Such a proposition is not a compliment to the president, but his crooked course in the past has given such men as Parker reason to think that it would be accepted.
