There never was a time in the history Of this State when the political checker­ board presented so much of a puzzle to the average Voter as at the present time. It seems to be a battle royal, so far as the Republican party is concerned, be­ tween the ring and machine politicians on the one side and the people on the other. In other words it is a question whether Chicago and Cook County is to u3urp the entire powers of the party, and put in nomination just such men for State officers as they choose, irrespective oF the wishes Of the large majority of voters outside of said county, who are always depended upon to roll up the necessary majorities for the Republican ticket. For the past two months this ring of would-be dictators have made and unmade candidates at a wonderful rate, and so confident have they been that their dictums would be law," they have not even deigned to consult any outside of their self-made machine. The PLAINDEALER, believinc it was too early to commence agitating the ques tion of candidates for State officers, has thus far refrained, knowing that its many readers in this part of the State, or a large majority of them at least, were favorable to the nomination of the Hon. A. J. Hopkins, as their candidate for Governor, regardless of what the Cook County machine may wish. We believe the time has now eome when machine rule must come to an end and when the rank and file of the party take hold of the matter in dead earneet that is sure to be the result. That any set of men should get to­ gether in Chicago or elsewhere and pre­ sume to dictate who shall or who shall not be the candidate for this or that office, is an outrage upon the intelligence of the Republican voters of the great State of Illinois, and we believe will not ba tolerated. When the time comes let there be a free and candid expression of the Republican voters ot the State, and then in Convention assembled let the ex­ pression and wishes of said voters be carried out by their chosen delegates. If thiB is done we firmly believe that the -HON. A. J. HOPKINS will occupy the chair now disgraced by John P.* AUgall. MP Says" that staunch Democratic sheet, the Mt. Carroll Democratic: "The Chicago Chronicle saya that John P. Alt? geld will be a candidate for re-election to the office of Governor. *\Buck' Hinrich- sen says the J)emocrats-are^unanimou8ly for him. If 'Buck' would come up hcjre he would find a good many who were not for him., He may be a candidate, but he will never be nominated. Even if he suc­ ceeded in securing the nomination he would notbe elected. His anarchistic views are gall and wormwood to every true American. The Democrat serves notice that it is not for him and will not be if every other Democrat in the state if tor him. We want to see a sound man, such it nno an .Tnhn fi 'RionV nominated. No more Altgeldism for us. The Democrats can read us out of the party but they cannot compel us to support or vote for Altgeld for governor." I®" According to a recent Washington dispatch Senator Cullom considers his chances for the presidential nomination good. He is reported to have said: "If it had not been for th&t-foolish talk in favor of Gresham in 1888.1 would prob ably have been nominated. If-I had been a candidate three, years ago Harrison would have been beaten at Minneapolis. Next year I do not intend to stand out of anybody's way. I think Reed and Mclvihley will eventually kill each other off, and that the nomination will go to Indiana, Illinois or Iowa. Harrison is handicapped by his defeat in the last campaign, and Allison may not develop as much strength as his friends are ex­ pecting. If Illinois will put me in nomi­ nation and stand by me loyally, my chances will be as good aa those of any other candidate I shall insist on hav­ ing a delegation which is friendly to me and which can be trusted." I Valuable Maps 0 Messwfc-Rand, McNaily & Co., of Chica­ go, the famous map firm, have issued a wall map of this state which should be in every home, office and school room. This map illustrates the complete sys­ tem of United States Land Survey, and by a special process of relief liae engrav­ ing presents all the details without Con­ fusion. 10 Each county is clearly shown by differ., ent colors and the name printed in large, clear type. Each county seat is distinctly shown by a special character and the name printed in conspicuous type.

The richest sorts that the season will produce are in now, and from every corner of the globe. Venders of merchandise are inviting their patrons to purchase. Such i^ the condition here; shelves and counters heaped with newest goods, making prices small and small­ er each day. The store greater in its selling- record, offering manj _fcoA<aJbiin nr t K '>>*£> o j IT. h""tSrS g f ~ tl-- t£F*From late dispatches from the far east it looks as though the great Russian bear-was preparing to take all the con­ tinent -of Asia into its embrace and saueeze it until the bones crack. And the great powers of Europe are gazing with startled wonder at the aggressions of the Czar and talking of war. The probabil­ ity is, however, that when all the wonder and the talk is over Russia will be ob­ served placidly holding its new territory and the "great powers" will devote their "diplomacy" to other grave questions.

Bushnell, Republican cand - date for Governor of Ohio, recently said that the Republican party never en­ countered a difficulty that it did not overcome; never avoided a responsibil­ ity that confronted it, and never hesi­ tated to declare its position on any vital issue, and it never will. For thirty years it was in power, and never, in the history of the world, had this or any country a period of like prosperity. KIT"Spain has sent more troops to Cuba to conquer the rebellion than it sent to all the South American states and to Mexico when the revolution in those countries was in progress. The Spaniards have more troops in Cuba now than Great Britain had in America dar­ ing the revolutionary war, or during the war of 1812, or that Scott had when he conquered Mexico. Spanish troops must be poor material or the Cubans must possess uncommon powers of resistance. The withdrawal of Mr. Fifer and the candidacy of Mr. Tanner for Gover­ nor are two surprises for the people, and it will be some time before they feel that they fully understand the moves. As to the candidacy of Mr. Hopkins, we think it strengthens it. Hopkins will lose none of his old supporters and will gain many new ones. He is one of the strong, clean, popular men of the State, and is growing stronger every day.-- Waukegan Gazette. The location of every "railroad station, post office, and town is plainly designat­ ed and can be readily located, , as all sec­ tion lines are clearly delineated, and the township and range numbers are.printed in the plainest possible manner.

Palmer blandly rises to state that he will not be a candidate for re-election to the United States Sen­ ate. This is rare diplomacy on the part ot the General, in view of the certainty that a Republican will be elected next time. And it might be parenthetically remarked that the Republican Who will succeed him will be Hon. Wm. EjMason, of Chicago, because the people haWtheir eyes "sot" that way. The falling off of registration in New YorK and Chicago is a good illus­ tration of the " masterly inactivity " of the American people which gives the power of the government to designing politicians. If the mass of the people don't care anything about their rights and a few clever politicians do, of course the latter will always govern the former. And they ought to. And the former ought to be slaves. It is said that Mrs. Yanderbilt's income will shrink $50,000 a year when her daughter is married. Ever since the arrival of the Duke of Marlborough in this country Mr. Vanderbilt has made his former wife an extra allowance for his Grace's proper entertainment. This, it is reported, will cost $100,000, exclus­ ive of the wedding and Miss Van derbilt'e trousseau. .

GRAVES LAND CO., R. 311,56 Fifth A?e., Chicago, I1L t®* The Republican national commit­ tee will shortly decide the time for hold­ ing the next national convention. The place then to be decided upon will doubt­ less be Chicago. Should a majority of the members of the committee indicate their preference for holding the conven­ tion in May next, the committee meeting will have to be held sometime next month, as this mesting must precede the convention at least six months. I®" The largest State tax levy but one, that of 1887, is the levy fixed by the Governor and Auditor of Public Ac­ counts on Monday. They fixed the rate of the annual tax levy for State pur­ poses at 52 cents on each §100. Of this 13 cents is for school and 39 cents for general taxes. This will give §1,083,145 in the school fund and $3,249,435 in the general fund, making a total of §4,332,- 580. An allowance is made of §250,000 for insolvencies, removals, commissions, etc. The levy last year was 31 cents per $100. ;This is the largest levy ever made in the State except for the year 1887, when it was 53 cents. IS?"It is reported, on what authority is not stated, that Henry Hertz, of Chi cago, is not friendly to the Chicago plan to put John It. Tanner in for governor He is proposed in the same list for state treasurer. Mr. Tanner has lived in Chi­ cago for several years. After the first place on the ticket is settled in conven tion Mr: Hertz fears that the Republicans of the state will not care to locate the office of treasurer in Chicago too. Mr. Hertz is probably right about it. The state would not suffer from having two leading offices filled from one county but it is another thing to make a convention of practical politicians look at it that way when they would be quite willing to have the second big office located else­ where.--North western. Our esteemed contemporary, Wm. T. Stead, does well to notify England that she must recognize thtf United States as a first class power. Still, England has been doing this for quite a while, and will keep on doing it, even had it not occurred to Mr. Stead to jog her memory. W e are a first class power, even with Grover Cleveland in the White House.--AW York Advertiser. a?" John Pardon Altgeld says he will not be a candidate for reelection to the office of Governor. His discernment of existing conditions is certainly com­ mendable. The Chicago Tribune ex presses the situation thus: Tbe people will get back at him, If Altgeld runs again. They'll take another crack at him, If Altgeld runs again. They'll down his anarchistic nibs, Thqy'll punch him sorely in the ribs, And pull him from the public cribs, If Altgeld runs again. "Walking for Health, When there is no organic weakness, aggravated by exertion, it is the easiest and pleasantest things to walk right into health. Of course there is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The slow and Ian guid dragging of one foot after the other which some people call walking, would tire an athlete; it utterly exhausts a weak persou, and that is the reason why many delicate people think they cinnot walk. To derive any benefit from the exercise it is necessary to walk with a light, elastic step, which swings the weight of the body so easily from one leg to the other that its weight is not felt, and which produces a healthy glow, showing that the sluggish blood is stirred to action in thQs-esaqgtj remote veins. This sort of walking e^tftsttes the whole body, gives tone to theIS^es, and produces that sort of healthful fatigue which encourages restful sleep.-- From "Have you Nervous Prostration ?" in Uemorest's Magazine for No vember. kvi v i v RESTORES VITALITY.
