IK|rSenator Coon has taken a conspic uous part oh the questions that come up from day to day and6the eighth district has cause to feel proud of its arte repre sentative. Mr. toon has introduced a number of desirablw bills, one of ibe lat est that I can recall at present being the one to grant women the right to vote And participate in town meotings and to vote for such township officers as super visor, town clerk, assessor and collector. The bill could be immeasurably improv ed if amended so as to include municipal elections. It is the cities and not the townships that need Reformation -- Spring fold tor. JfiTThe Produce Exchange, of Chicago, recommends the adoption, by thepfopeikf State Legislature, a law prohibiting the coloring yellow of any substance design ed to be used as a substitute for butter or cheese, and regulating the lawful man ufacture of butter and cheese. The bill provides for the appointment of a State Dairy Commissioner, and the appropria- , tion of $2,500,000 a year for the ex pense of the commissioner and the en- Jorcemeotof the law. The bill isendorsed by leading dairymen and others connect- ed with the butter and cheese interests of the State. This bill is almost a copy of |he Iowa anti-color law,.»whicb forbids the coloring of any imitation or. substi tute for butter or cheese to resemble the article. All that those interested in * the manufacture and handling of pure goods ask is that the substitutes and , Imitations be so manufactured and sold that the consumer wil\ not be deceived , into the purchase of these goods under , the impression that he is baying the genuine article. The law is also similar to the Massachusetts statute, which has been pronounced constitutional in the 'United States Courts by J udge Harlan in his recent and famous decision of .*"• Plum ley rs. the Commonwealth. 167* Mr. Depew told this story of Lin coln in his late address at Burlington Yt: **I remember as if it were but yesterday :&n afternoon with Mr. Lincoln. I was bat a boy though Secretary of New York State. Horatio Seymour was the Demo- era tic Governor, and the Legislature was Republican. The soldier vote was to be obtained. The Republican Legislature would not trust the Governor and it de volved upon me the daty of collecting the soldfers' vote. Mr. Lincoln looked up as I pressed my way through the jrd in his reception room and said: Depew, what can I do for you?' I 'Mr. President, I do not want any- ; I am in Washington on a mission our state to get out from the armies our New York soldiers'vote, and I sim ply called to pay my respects.' He said: 'It is so rare that any oue comes here who wants nothing! Please wait and I will get rid of these people in a few min utes.' The room was soon emptied, the faithful 'Jerry' was guarding the door, and on the lounge the tired President was rocking to and fro, holding his knees in his arms and telling Btory after story to relieve his mind, and be said: 'Depew, they say I tell a great many stories. I think I do. They say I lower the dignity of the Presidential office by these broad anecdotes. Possibly that is true. But I have found, in the course of a long ex perience, that the plain people of the country take them as they are, and are more easily reached* and influenced and argued with through the medium of a humorous illustration than in any other way.'" HOPKINS AND TANHJ8R. Mayor Hopkins has caught a Tartar. Judgiug from the array of evidence that is looming up against him, he is likely very soon to wish that the sun had never risen on the day that saw him file a suit against John R. Tanner for defamation of character. Mr. Tanner has determined to fight out his cauee and substantiate his charges upon the line of justification on the ground of privilege and on the ground of truth. In support of the truth of the allegations made in the cam paign circular to which Mayor Hopkins took exception, he has filed a plea charg ing the Mayor with extorting and receiv ing money for unlawful purposes and contrary to the laws and ordinances of Illinois and of Chicago, from ninety-eight disreputable men and women, each men tioned by name in a «eparate count. The claim of privilege alleges that this money was collected to bring about the success of the Democratic party and the defeat of the Republican party, and there fore the charges made in the circular is sued by the Republican State Committee were justified. It charges that the police, \ under the command and control of the Moyor and with his consent, had for a I long time previous to the issue of the cir- | cular "been engaged in compelling and I collecting contributions of large sums of j money by and from gamblers, prostitutes and other criminal and vicious and im moral characters, and were enforcing the payment of such contributions under threats of exposure and prosecution and promises of immunity." The startling nature of these allega tions lies not do much in the statements of facts already generally known, but in the circumstantial nature of the evidence which is promised. No well informed man has doubted that Mr. Tanner was more than justified in the allegations made in his circular last fall. But that he should go to work with the patience and vim of a Parkhurst and unearth the necessary evidence is as much a Surprise to the Democratic party as it is to Mr. Hopkins himself. « All that Mr. Tanner now needs to do is to circumvent all Democratic attempts to defeat a fair trial of the case and he will lay the fonndat ion for a regenera tion of Chicago as profound and radical as that which has lately swept over New York The Jovmai has always held that re form in Chicago must come, if it came at all, through the Republican party. There is reason to hope that Mr. Tanner's cru sade may grow into something even larger than its present dimensions.-- Chicago Journal. THE FEBBIS HEIRESSES. The article which appeared in our last week's issue in regard to the Ferris heir esses who were supposed to be located somewhere iu McHenry county,^has brought out the fact that at one time they were residents of, Chemung, living with their grandmother, Mrs. Henry Sin- namon, who brought them up, and that they are now residing at Denver, Col., at 605 East Bayard street. Our informa tion carat through one of Harvard's re spected citizens, Alex Besk, who is per sonally acquainted with the whole family, they being cousins of Mr. Beck's wife. Mr. Beck was an employee of Andrew Ferris, at Sweetwater, Nev. in 1871. who at that time was engaged in placier min ing, tut later settled on a ranch. We will only be too glad to chronicle the fact that these two heiresses are placed in the possession of that which rightfully be longs to them, $6,000.-- Woodstock Democrat, RAMBLER, in Every Sa turday - ly remarks: "There are al a c*>L of people about us so unfortunately consti tuted that they cannot be content to en joy the pleasures of the present without a gloomy forboding of the future. To these the fine day is a "weather breeder" and the milder temperature of the last few days protends rain and a sadden breaking up of the ice, bringing a freshet. We prefer to prophecy a rush of sleigh rides and jolly good times for the young people, with a little more snow to cover the b&re spots. And we are rejoicing with exceeding great joy that the intense cold has departed and man and beast can once more breath in comfort. When Dr. Todd's cold storm arrives we will meet it bravely, but will not bother to an ticipate it."

It is in, evidence that Senator^Cull^Sn's friends areNnor- ing to give him the Republican delega tion in the national convention and that hisllieutenants are skillfully at work to secure him an endorsment for the presi dency. The sentiment of th«fparty seems to J»e divided between McKihley and Reed t there is an impression that the nom iiuition will come west and that lightning may strike the Senator from Illinois if he has some support. • The same men who are talking about the presidency are engaged in making up a slate for a state ticket in 1896 and find umbers of candidates for the places to be filled. Republican politicians are ap parently going on the theory that they will be succesoful and that a nomination is equivalent to an election. Among the candidates for governor are ex-Gov. Fifer ofBloomington; A.J. Hopkins, of Au rora; Dr. Jos. Bobbins, of Quincy; A. C. Matthews, of Pittsfield:J. B. Messick, of East St. Louis, and H. S. Clark, of Mat- toon. For lieutenant governor Senator Bogardus, of Ford county, and Repre sentative White, of Whiteside are men tioned. If Mr. Hopkins should not get l&e nomination for governor Charles A. partridge, of Waukegan, would stand a good show for nomination for secretary of state. Geo. W. Princo, of Knox county, who ran on the defeated ticket ot 1892, is a candidate for the nomina tion for attorney general and T. Needles, of Washington county, would accept the ^Wfiditorship. This correspondent further says that John fl. Tanner, provided he be hot call- ^ to theuational Republican committee ^ill be a candidate for. his old place ae treaeyirer. -- $ooks cheap, nice bound only 20 and 05 cents at j. A.
