Who says there is Nothing in a name? | THB revenue stamp will not worry flUie people now. They have been licked ffjM thoroughly as were the %aniards. §C! _J 'I-. .. -"""" \ -- :; IN patting prices on his lowNhi Zion §1^"* City, Elijah II convinces us t!W he knows something about the asee^um (f - '• act.

M. QUACKENBUSH denies that I the isaoandidate for head consul of the Modern Woo<lmen. Prom a personal ae^MtiBtence we know that he is one of | lAc.'/ the best men for the place. and it la always best to let it ddwn easily, rather than wait for an utter collapse and strike the earth with that "sickening thud." THE STEEL 8TRIKK. Never before has this country faced a strike of such gigantic proportions or one so difficult to settle. There can be no pos­ sible chance of arbitration.. The em­ ployers must concede all that the strik­ ers ask or vice versa. It is not a ques­ tion of wages, but a question of whether the steel manufacturers shall recognize the demands of the Amalgamated Asso­ ciation in that all labor in certain mills shall be unionized. Up to this time union and nonunion men have been working intake mills and in some, the Carneige mills being the largest, all men employed are nonunion, but they are not involved at present. In the event, however, of those manufacturers now interested acceding to the de­ mands made by the association, .it 1)1 very likely that the others will j$e drawn into the fray. IT has been estimated that one crow will destroy 700,000 insects each year. Now will some person figure how mucfc | grain and vegetables those insects would' destroy if the crow quit business. DOWN east the kissing bug has been driven to high grass by the "ankle bug/ ," This new insect takes particular de­ light in bitting a person about the ankles and, it is said, is partial to striped hose. 1 THE Pennsylvania legislature has ap propriated $1,500 to suitably mark the . grave of Gen. Samuel Meridith, who gave $35,000 to help support Washing­ ton's army at Valley Forge, and who was the first treasurer of the United States. # IT would take about two days for two men to pick up and load into a > wagon all the stones on the streets of McHenry. Why is it not done? Some erf our streets are worse in this respect than the ordinary road in, the rural districts. IF the number of platforms upon which the political parties stand has anything to do with the out-come in 1904, the Democrats will surely be vie torious- But they should bear in mind that too many boats in a narrow stra may cause a jam. , PRESIDENT McKiNLEYhas announced that he will issue his proclamation in Hie near future giving free trade to Porto Rico. Thus as in all cases, our executive complies with the demands of the masses, but wisely takes his time to deliberate on the questions. ^ IT has taken Messrs. Mason and Dawes and the Chicago newspapers a long timw to discover that Martin B. is actively in the field as a can­ didate for United States senator, but they should know by this time that the candidate who makes the most noise , does not always secure the most votes. --Bx. ' ' F. O. VAN GALDER has been elected editor of the Modern Woodman, the official organ of the Modern Woodmen society, for the third term. Van is a very popular man with the order and earned' the honor accorded him. The Modern Woodman has acirculation v 672,000 copies monthly. ANDREW CARNEGIE is grohably the most talked of man in the world at the present time. He is scored for making so much money by some and he is cen­ sored by others for creating free librar-1 ies. He might have followed in the footsteps of Thomas Lipton and Will- . lam Waldorf Astor, but he has proven j Hwtf to be an American thus fafe-» ' __ ?v- THE COUNTY FAIR. " T . "V// ..Many times, after the county fair is : »thing of the past, complaints may be beard from various sources regarding the exhibits. It should be remembered Ify those who are prone to find fault % v fhat this particular part of the fair , is just as the people make it. The inan- f •" agement can do no more than prepare a |ihow room for the exhibits and offer prizes consistent with the amount of ' funds available. They can not be expect­ ed to go about the county picking up I Jj^umpkins, turnips and live stock. Let ' ' ', jevery farmer and others in the county J s" •• 7 jconsider himself a committee of one toj s, Secure some attraction, and The Great!

Mf. Bryan needs no eulogy now. Hel h£. /is too strongly intrenched in the demo- > . cratic heart. But when he voluntarily ! announced that he would not be a can-1 S-'V. • didate for president in 1 j04, and there- ' y 3>y relinquished the leadership of the j party, he placed principles above men. tV ;' Mr. Bryan is too ardently attached to ] *f$\ 'the cause of constitutional government! 1', . to be very susceptible to flattery or] W§£i attack. |f|||! It is certain that Mr. Bryan needs nol \{], eulogy now. He has proven to his fol- v, • lowers that he is a good campaigner, and that he knows when they have had j enough of his ideas and "hot air' speeches. The most sensible move hel ^ ever made was in announcing that hel « would not be a candidate in 1904.
