Russia has issued a Int. ter to the nations of Europe proposing tbat a conference be assembled to devise means to preserve the peace of the world. And this upon the heels of rumors thai England and Russia were seriously talk­ ing about going to war. W The president's orders to Generals 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 s&mee Melican man," or he will be made to. 1^^ Plans have been made to erect the most extensive and completely equipped saw mill in the world near Superior, Wis. 1,500 hands are to be employed and each day 350,000 feet of lumber will be cot, dried and dressed for the market. A large planing mill will also be built, and the lumber jard will cover 170 acree of land. It is estimated that it will take tnwnty years to cut away the forests surrounding the location of these mills HP* In a discussion going the rounds of the State press it has been shown that Bailey, of'Princeton; Atkins, ofFreeport: 5c!t, of Kaiikakee and Osman, of Otta 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 his desk every day; while men­ tally he yet retains the vigor and fire of hia 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 Demociatic members of Con­ gress were using all their energies to force Cuban recognition and hostilities with Spain that no sooner> would tie battles begin than the Democratic rale would be that of fault-finding and ob­ struction. Tfte taint of copperheadism 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 ; oint 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 on effort to discredit and besmirch the administration. The re­ sults 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 aire denouncing the steps leading up to it >jnd 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 a vote of censure^ There was some suffer­ ing in tlfe hospitals, short supplies in 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 tbat the loses from disease have not been exces­ sive, 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 sult in serious sickness. When the Brit­ ish attacked Havana in midsummer with 16,000 men the 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 tbat the business of the adminntration throughout the war was to. organize neglect and pat none but the incompe­ tent on duty. The copperhead virus the same as of old, and the contemptible political tricks unchanged.--Si. Louie Globe Democrat.

N^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. CM the remaining regiments the Third is on duty in Porto Rico and probably will remain there for some time while tbr 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 the service of the government for some time to come." The 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.

' Facta Hard To Get 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 0.8.

THE REASON WHY There is a why and wherefore for everything. VV HY we wear clothes has gone beyond the realm of discussion. VIHEREFORE good dressers prefer to wear garments made by J. D. LODT2, The Merchant Tailor McHENRY, ILL., 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 object for you to be with him. Now is the time to call. New Fall and Winter Samples Just Received McHenry, Sept. 5th, 1898. J. D. LODTZ.
