The condition of the country is now better than it was before McKinley took his present posi­ tion, and the condition *ill continue to improve if the nation will srstain Presi dent McKinley in the fall elections. It would be a mistake for the people to now elect a congress that would hamper and oppose tbe Republican president. X>0 HOT VOTK FOB SPAIN. is nothing sut prising ia the m- viogs of certain Democratic garding the suggestion that it is im portant for all good citizons to vote candidates for Congress at the coining elections who will uphold tbe hands of President McKinley in dealing Spain in the settlement of the questions growing out c f the but its frenzied fulminations will count for anything until it is able to give reason why its candidate should ;>e Whfttthe election of a Demo­ cratic congress would mean at the pre-, sent time and how seriously it would eui- President McKinley in conclud­ ing a tr eaty of peace with Spain is point­ ed out by William E. Curtis, the well known Washington correspondent, in an article in The Chicago /tecord, in which he says, referring to President McKinley: "He would deplore a Democratic vie-5 tory because of its effect upon the Span­ ish government and the negotiations now in progress at Paris. Peace is not yet made. The treaty will not be signed for weeks, and may be delayed for months, perhaps inditlnitely, if the November elections should deprive the adminstration of the support of a majority in the house of representa) ives. Should such an event occur in a Euro­ pean country the government would b« compelled to resign office and a new cabi­ net, representing a new policy and differ­ ent principles, would assume power. That would be the casein Spain, and therefore the Spanish people woi:fd re- gnrd a Democratic victory in the I'nited States as a rebukt to the president and a repudiation of his conduct of the war. The immediate effect would be to stimu­ late the resistance of the Spanish com- miss oners to the demands of the United States, if it did not cause them to be re­ jected altogether. The result in Cuba would be the same, and very serious complications might follow. "Realizing this, the president of course is extremely anxious to have the people express at the polls their approbation of bis official acts and send men to con- greFS who will sustain his policy." Those who desire that the fruits of the glorious valor of American sailors and soldiers shall be preserved will vote for the Republican candidates for congress in November and show Spain that the American people sustain President Mc Kinley in the demands he makes of that nation. Any other vote will practically be a vote for Spain. IV There is only one practical and ef fectiveway of indorsing the course of President McKinley during the war and of reinforcing bis < Sorts to secure sub stantial benefits for this country in ne­ gotiating terms oi peace with Spain, and that i£ by voting for Republican candi dates for congress. The election of Democratic congress next month would inspire Spain to fight for better terms and might cause a renewal of the war. Floyd K. Whittemore, Republican candi­ date for State Treasurer, was bora in the state of New York, but came to Illinois at an early aire with his parents, who located at Sycamore, DeKalb connt v. He was educated at the public and high schools at that place. When James H. Beveridge, brother of Gov­ ernor Uevoridffo, was elected State Treasurer he induced youns Whittemore to iro to Spriujriield to takecliaiire of the State Treas­ ury.* While filling this engagement in thi Treasury Department he attracted the at­ tention of Jacob Bunn, at that time the owner of the largest financial institution in the state outside of Chicago, and accepted the position of cashier of the Bunn Bank, which he filled with marked ability until the organization of the State National Bank of Springfield, when he was chosen its cashier. Mr. Whittemore held the latter position for more than twenty years. Afterwards he became the Acting Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Chicago, under Pres­ ident Harrison, where he superintended the receipt and payment of more than five hundred million dollars. In January, 1895, he became Assistant State Treasurer, which position he now holds. Mr. Whittemore is essentially a business man, and has been uniformly successful. In addition to other enterprises he has for many years been engaged in farming oper­ ations in Sangamon and Madison counties. Mr. AVhittemore always has been a staunch Republican and a zealous advocate of the party's principles, but has never before been a candidate for office. During his long residence at the capital he has acquired a wide acquaintance t hroughout the state, and has enjoyed the close personal and political friendship of Governors Oglesby, Beveridge. Cullora, Hamilton, Fifer and Tanner, as well as of the state officers who served with them. He was nominated JuneHth by acclamation --being the only Republican candidate who ever received the unanimous endorrv " of his party for that office. •lbs best Granulated Sugar. $1.00. / lbs extr« fine Jap Ten, $1 00. • 12 Bars Leoox Sot.p, 25c. 7inest ( ape Cod Cranberries, ®e qtf * finest Elgin Corn, 2 lb cans. 9c. doz $1 OS.

Furniture and Undertaking csa|iieut j IfiTBrezil was friendly to us at a time during tbe war with Spain when nn friendliness would have considerably uf- set our plans. To show that this country appreciates that friendliness, Se­ cretary Long has ordered the battleships Oregon and Iowa to stop at Rio Janeiro, on the way to Honolnlu, and participate in t|)e celebration to be held November 15, at that place, in honor of the anni­ versary of the establishment of the R public of Brezil. It will be remembered that the cruisers Albany and New Orleans and tie anxiliiary cruiser Buffalo were sold to us by Brazil; alto that the Ore­ gon was allowed to coal at Brazilian portp, on her long trip from the Pacific to Cuban waters. Seven or eight months before the end of the last war in which the govern­ ment of the United States was engaged prior to the war with Spain, the Demo­ crats of Maine held their state conven­ tion at Bangor. Their opinion of Presi dent Lincoln's administration, of its general efficiency and in the management of the nation's affairs, was set forth with uncommon vigor in the subjoined decla ration: "Resolved, That the Administration Jby itd corruption and imbecility, has shown itself incapable of a sure ssful prosecution of the war and from its levity, tergiversations, and its bad faith, is manifestly incapable of negotiating an honorable peace." That copperhead record is being dupli­ cated by the Democrats of to-day, who, forgetting the glorious achievements oi the army and navy of the United States the war with Spain, are growling and complaining about the way in which the most successful war in 1 istory has bt>e» conducted by this Republican adminis­ tration.

IWTSf WW '-xj4 MP"The official news from the Ameri­ can Peace Commissioners has not been made public, but it is satisfactory to Secretary Bay, as far as it has gone, and it has gone ad far as it was expected, under the circumstances. Speed and promptness are unknown to the 8panish character, but Spain has been made to understand that what 8pain is pleased to call the Cuban bonded indebtedness would not be allowed to figure in the negotiations at Paris. It required no new instructions to the American Com­ missions to accomplish that result They understood from the first that President McKinley was determined that the United States would have nothing whatever to do with either paying or guaranteeing the payment of a single bond issued by the Kingdom of Spain When the Philippine question is taken up Spain will again be shown that tbe United States is dictating the terms of the treaty of peace, not playing a game of diplomacy. ••"The sneak campaign through which the democrats hoped to capture the House by lulling republican voters into a feeling of oversecurity that would prevent their voting will not succeed Every day makes that more apparent. Republicans everywhere now realize the absolute neeessity of continued control of the House, not only to keep the good work of the campaign of '96 from being undone, but to carry out the war policy of President McKinley. The prosperity Of the country, as well as the prestige of the government abroad, is at stake. A few weeks ago there were many republi cans WHQ did not realize this; to-day there are not so many by thousands and before election day there will be none, and the result of this awakening will be a rousing republican victory and endorsement of the grand achievements of the adminstration, both in peace and in war. The democrats are already be­ ginning to realize this, as they are begin ning to discount their defeat. They BO longer claiming that they will elect a majority of the House, but are begin •ing to let themselves down easy claiming that they will cut down the poblican majority in the House. Bevere Storm. The earliest severe winter storm of wind, rain and snow on record swept the western states of Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, last week, where the temperature fell to the fre- zing point, and the cold wave extended as far south as Texas. Rain commenced fulling in western Nebraska on Sunda y night Oct 16. It soon turned into snow, sev eral inches of which fell in the States of Iowa. Nebraska, parts of Mssouri and Kansas. Telegraph and telephone wires went down from the heavy weight of the snow combined with the sf rong wind wbbh ] blew a gale and in some nations reached the dignity of a bl zzard. rommunica- tionby wire was almost entirely cut off and a great manjj cities in the middle west were pratically isolated, a few eas­ tern connections alone being maintain­ ed. Throughout Illinois there was a heavy fall of rain the entire week, while in Chicago, where the great peace jubi ee was in progress, a strong wind blew down arches aud decorations and the vast throng congregated suffered great discomfort from tbe sudden inclemency of the weather.

In the little village of Beddick, in Kan­ kakee county, a furious mob of 100 farmers nearly killed two lightning rod agents whose business methods did not meet with their approval. The men were knocked down, kicked and pelted with stones, and one of them named Van Duzen, aged HO years, was seriously hurt. William J. Unz, a German farmer who understands little English, was ap­ proached by the agents, who agreed, as he believed, to protect hi* barn and house from lightning for $20. Tuet-dav the men finished the work and presented a note signed by Unz for $440. I'DZ raised a row and then the men agreed to take $300. The farmer came to town to borrow the money, when his frfends in­ duced him to have the agents arretted. They were finally released, when the crowd set upon them, knocked them down and clubbed, stoned and trampled upon them. They finally escaped and were chased a mile out of town.
