It rolled along collecting bits as it went, until somebody said, "1 be­ lieve." It went further, until somebody said, "I know." And then it rolled and rolled, until it was a great ball that hit somebody's heart. WE have always believed in the Dar­ winian theory, that mankind is con­ stantly advancing in the scale of intelli­ gence; but when we see a. (so called) re­ spectable young man come into a nice, clean office and squirt tobacco juice all over the floor, our faith is considerably shaken. We cannot help wondering what kind of a home he hails from. If it fits put it on. IT is sometimes difficult to please everybody; in fact, we gave up long ago trying that. Sometimes as a choice be­ tween the wishes of different persons an editor cuts the Gordon Knot, and does just as he pleases, and thus one is satis- fled. This may explain some things and leave others yet to be surmised or guess­ ed at. A good editor will always leave a chance for people who have active brains to use them as they scan the carefully edited columns of his paper. THE edict of the Northwestern road has gone forth from Chicago along the highways and byways of travel, to the effect that a red cap shall be worn by cer­ tain officials. The use of the "lurid" new headgear is limited to the ushers and passenger agents about the station. These are the men w ho comprise a sort of bureau of information for the travel­ ing" public, and it is not with a view to artistic effects that the bits of color have been introduced, but to advertise these purveyors of information to people with questions to ask. Newspaper Friends. "Every newspaper treasures up in its memory the names of its friends, likewise its enemies," says an exchange. "It never overlooks an opportunity to assist the former, but never goes out of its way to aid the latter. Human nature is the same way everywhere. People who show a newspaper man a kindness never made a betW investment or one that will surely repay them a hundred fold, Sooner or later, even those who go around depending on the public for their living." As has,been truly said: "There occasionally comes a time in the life of every man when a word said by a news­ paper either makes or unmakes the in- ( dividual mentioned." Facts that are Hard to Get Around. It is a fact that the tide of emigration is coming East. The western fariqerp, from the prairies of Dakota, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska, find that they can get from the C. S. Graves Land Com­ pany, R. 311, 5G Fifth Av., Chicago, (see advertisement,,in this paper) good farm­ ing land in Central Wisconsin, Clark county, at a nominal price. In quality as good, if not better than ttieir western lands, with no blizzards, cyclones or droughts and with plenty of water, fuel and best of schools. Experience has led them to investigate these advantages.. Try the Polar Star Patent Flour and Pillsbury's Best, at Owen & Chapell's. (6T The "leaders" have confessed to a knowledge of the fact that Major Mc- Kinlny is.the popular favorite,I. and one whom they cannot overthrow through the honest concentration of their strength on the man of their choice, by bringing out a dozen "favorite sons" in pa many states. They propose to beat McKinley, not beeauggihey consider him untrustworthy or a weak candidate, but fot^the reason that they are jealous of his popularity with the people,' and' they wish no man to occupy the presidential chair who shall possess the public affec­ tion and confidence to such an extent that it would be dangerous to attempt to embarrass his administration with, factious opposition. Then,, too, they know that Gov. McKinloy has a great deal of respect for the rights of the com­ mon people and they realize full keenly that he regards a^ "boss" as a very ordi­ nary member of tfie human family.--Ex. flST'The Geneva Republican pertinently remarks: "Have the "bosses" gone mad? Verily, appearances would justify a man in thinking so. They "keep close to the people" long enough to find out what th§ people want, and then they go and range themselves on the opposite Bide. They only, inquire the popular Will for the sake of violating it; The same performance that has been enacted in Chicago in the way of setting aside t he- more sacred wishes of the people, is being attempted elsewhere, is the nation made up of ,Chieagos ?

' teg" When, with the mercury down in the neighborhood of 15 degrees below zero, we read that Australia is passing through the hottest season ever known there, we are inclined to be more content with our lot. Zero weather means a great deal of discomfort, but it is far preferable to an excessiv^Jjeat, when the thermometer registers 122 degrees in the shade, such as is reported in various parts of New South Wales. London dispatches declare that Mr. Bayard's popularity in England is increasing every day. This is doubtless in conformity with the rule that an American gains favor in England just in proportion as he scoffs at the institu­ tions and repudiates the principles of his own country. teaiF"Tho Maryland legislature has un­ der consideration a bill to authorize turnpikes to charge bicyclers one cent at every gate. The macadamized roads have been constructed by companies made up of the farmers and others of the various communities, and have been kept in repair by funds received from tolls. {@"A poll at a late meeting of the Mc- Lean county Republican Central C.im- mittee showed Gubernatorial preferences as followa: Hopkins, 24; Tanner, 15; Rowell, 5; Fifer, 2. Evidently all the people down in Central Illinois are not yet Won over to the Tanner stand. tQT'Hon. A. J. Hopkips telegraphs to the Chicago Tribune from Washington that he sees nothing in the choice of the Cook county delegates, instructed for Tanner, to prompt him to withdraw from the gubernatorial candidacy.
