W^The czar of Rneeia has issued a fot. ter to the nations of Europe proposing that a conference be assembled to devise means to preserve tbe peace of the world. And this npon the heels of rumors thai England and Russia were seriously talk­ ing abont going to war. Wf The president's orders to General? Miles, Merritt and Lawton are very plain, unmistakable English. The Uni ted States authority is supreme in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Every­ body must behave "allee samee Melican man," or he will be made to. IBT Plans have been made to erect tbe most extensive and completely equipped saw mill in the world near iSnperior, Wis. 1,500 hands are to be employed and each day 350,000 feet of lumber will be cat, dried and dressed for the market. A large planing mill will also be built, and the lumber yard will cover 170 acres of land. It is estimated that it will take twenty years to cut away the forests surrounding the location of these mills In a discussion going the rounds of the State press it has been shown that B&ilej, of'Princeton; Atkins, of Freeport: uGlt, of Kankakee and Osman, of Otta wa, are the oldest editors in the State. Osman holds the "age," as he has been editor of the Ottawa Free Trader for the past fifty-four years, with the exception of some fifteen months that he was in the Mexican war. He is physically a sturdy man, is at bis desk every day; while men­ tally he yet retains the vigor and fire of his youth. BELITTLING A GREAT VICTORY. Again the Democratic party is at its old trick of declaring a successful war to be a failure. It was predicted last winter when tbe I>emoci atic members of Con­ gress were using all tbeir energies to force Cuban recognition and hostilities with Spain that no sooner would tfce battles begin than the Democratic rule would be that of fault-finding: and ob­ struction. Tbe taint of copperheadiem was certain to break out somewhere. Nine days after the declaration of war a marvelous triumph was won by Ameri­ can arms. In less than eleven weeks a second fleet of Spain was destroyed, and the naval power of that nation crushed A few days later a Spanish army 24,000 men surrendered and our flag went up over Eastern Cuba. Before the end of four months Spain had sued for peace and signed a protocol surrendering sov­ ereignty in Cuba, ceding Porto Rico, yielding possession of Manila and referr­ ing the future of the Philippines to a joint peace commission. No one befoie the conflict began expected a result so speedy, comprehensive and brilliant There is little in history which can be compared with these achievements. But, true to its copperhead record and tendencies, t'.e Democratic party was bound to make an effort to discredit and besmirch tbe administration. The if suits of the war are unassailable, which is a Democratic misfortune. But, while swinging hats Over the victory, or_ pre­ tending to do so, Democratic papers are denouncing the steps leading up to it >)nd the means by which it was won. It is a queer way to treat the subject, but the best they can do under the difficult circumstances. There is not a single de­ feat to snarl about. The only recourse is to take the victory to pieces and claim that the preparations were so utterly bad that the. administration deserves vote of censure. There was some suffer ing in the hospitals, short supplies camps, a number of uncleanly ships, sev­ eral inefficient doctors, commissaries and quartermasters, and so the war, from Democratic point of view, is declared to be a failure. A general reprimand for the adminstration is about the Demo­ cratic idea, and also a dismissal of Re­ publican majorities from Congress on ac count of the conduct of the war. Presently the statistics of the army will be made up, and it will be found that the loses from disease have not been exces eive, while those from battle, taking the whole field, have been remarkably light The movement of men from the North to the South in summer was bound to re suit in Berious sickness. When the Brit ish attacked Havana in midsummer with 16,000 men tbe loss from disease in four months was over 4000 men. The ci+y was taken, andjthe campaign has al ways been regarded as victorious. Our losses in Cuba have been small in com parison. The British army went through the fever period with no hope of removal Our army has been transported to the northern seashore for the restoration of its health. It might be supposed from the comment of the Democratic press that the business of tbeadminntration throughout the war was to organize neglect and put none but the incompe­ tent on duty. The copperhead virus the same as of old, and the contemptible political tricks unchanged.--Si. Louis GMm Democrat. IT LEA 1)8. Wherever it has been introduced, Dr. Caldwetfs Syrup Pepsin leads all other remedies in curing Constipation, Indi­ gestion and Sickbeadache. It only costs 10c for trial size (10 doses for 10 cents).

M^TheSpringfield Daily Journal says: "Orders have been iesued for the mus­ tering out of four Illinois regiments, the First cavalry and First, Fifth and Seventh infantry, and the next on the list will be the Sixth regiment and Bat tery A, which are now in Porto Rico. Ol the remaining regiments the Third is on duty in Porto Rico and probably will remain there for some time while the Eighth is in Cuba under similar condi­ tions. The Second, Fourth and Ninth are a part of General Lee's corps and, according to the present plans of the war department will be sent to Havana in October to occupy that city. In all probability at least four or five of the Illinois regiments will continue in tbe service of the government for some time to come." Tbe University of Illinois Instruction will begin* in the various | departments of the State University on * Wednesday, September 14. Graduates of accredited schools are admitted on certificate. For those who have not such certificates, entrance examinations will be held on Thursday, Friday and Satur day, September 8, 9 and 1 (). The days *1^ for registration are Monday, Septem­ ber 12, and Tuesday, September 13. l"he new academic year opens with an in­ crease both in the corps of instruction and in the equipment for literary and scientific work, the additions to the library being especially important. New students will find the Christian Associa­ tion of the University ready to give efficient service in the choice of suitable boarding places. Facts Hard To Qet Around. It is a fact that farmers on high ^ priced land are losing money every year and find that they must buy land cheaper and get the increase in value. _ . good many have found that they can get from 0. S. Graves, Janesville, Wis., (see advertisement in this paper) good farm ing land at a nominal price. In quality as good if not better than the higher priced land in thickly settled counties with plenty of water, fuel and the beet of schools at f 10 per acre. It will pay you to investigate this if you want land Write him at onci. & New Prints just Patents, and at prices before.

JOHN WALSH, Administrator. Is a matter worthy of explanation. The reason is simple and the story is told in few words. It is BECAUSE he makes the clothes strictly to the measure of the party ordering them. They are trimmed well, they fit well, preserve their shape, and above all --they wear well. His prices are "popular" FOR THE REASON that they are reasonable. They are made to fit the pockets as his garments are made to fit the forms of his customers. He guarantees SATISFACTION, and more than that--gives it. He wants your trade and he is ever ready to make it an objoct for you to be with him. Now is the time to call.
