TRYON, t6TThe ugly fact that Democratic rulo has added $262,000,000 to the public debt in a time of peace is alone sufficient to make the votinp of the Republican ticket a patriotic duty. t@5™ Butter on the-Elgin Board of Trad< Monday was active, sales unusually large. Offerings were 125,040 lbs., witl sales of 3,834 tbs at 14c; 70,380 lbs. at 14%c; 9,180 lbs. at 15c. Last week 141-j <§;15e. Year ago 17^(5-17^0. tST" Counting the clerk hire, mileage and incidentals, a member of Congress now receives a total of about $12»G50 Tor his two years' service. Daniel Web­ ster and Henry Clay used to get for the same period $3,328. The expansion the pay has at least kept up with that in the statesmanship. \ .iJ HITTING THE NAIL. The Milwaukee Telegraph says the Ap- pleton Post has been hitting the nail on the head as frequently as any paper in the state the past few months. In an article on McKinley for President, it. speaks of him as one who has been op­ posed by that class of political bopse? who have been in the habit of controlling Presidents in the matter of public pat­ ronage. It believes that' McKinley will not pe bossed by that class. In closing the Post says: What Piatt & Co. want is not a "gov­ ernment of the people, by the people, for the people," but a government of the bosses by the bosses and for the bosses In this effort to maintain a people's as against a bosses government one Repub­ lican president, Garfield, lost his life, another, Harrison, was treacherously de­ feated, and now McKinley, the choice of the Republican party by an expression of public, sentiment nearly approaching unanimity, is now assailed by the same rule-or-ruin element. < Abraham Lincoln once said that if the government passed through the rebellion without dismemberment, there was th* strongest danger of its falling a prey to the rapacity of; the office-seeking class. This human struggle and scramble for office," he declared, "for a way to live without- work, will finally test the strength of our institutions." The test has come, and the people Will see that the Nation's institutions shall come out of the. test triumphantly, that the greedy combine" of would-be bosses and their henchmen shall not be permitted to seize the presidency, to pervert party Organi­ zation into a monstrous obligarchy, and to make a national election a mere regis­ tration of the will of Piatt and his Re­ publican Tammany. The crisis is ope which demands another Lincoln, and another the people have in the person of Major McKinley. VETERANS AND FREE SILVER. No class of citizens has a deeper inter^ est in maintaining the present gold standard thau the veterans who draw tensions. One of the arguments agftinst free silver sent out by the German-Amer- ican Sound Money League applies to the 970,000 pensioners among whom the government divides $140,000,000 every year. The League reminds them that the moment the silver basis becomes a part of the financial policy of this coun- ountry they will find themselves receiv­ ing not $140,000,000 but $70,000,000. en in states that have already yielded to the silver craze pensioners are numer­ ous. There are 28,905 pensioners in Kentucky and 59,935 in Missouri. The result of free silver in Illinois would mean that 63,078 pensioners would actually lose $4,963,823., Ohio contains!05,160 veterans and survivors of veterans, who are drawing pensions, and thoy would ose $7,779,283. New York has 88,719 names on the pension rolls, and these needy and deserving people would lose $6,160,885 annually if free silver goes into effect. The veteran, if he wishes to enjoy the full value of his pension, should vote to keep in power the party that gave it to him. The Republican party.

Postmaster Washington Hesing, of Chicago has virtually announced that vhe and the Illinois Staats Zeitung will be for McKinley--the contingency being surety, the declaration of the Democrat­ ic platform for free silver. He asserts that ninety-five per cent of the 800,000 German-American voters will also so vote. 70,000 of these are in Cook county. IST" All the Toledo bicycle factories, ex­ cept two, and which employ altogether about 6,000 men, are to shut down for an indefinite period. This is said to be the first movement toward curtailing the output of wheels, and the primary object of which ie to force prices up to the §100 notch on standard machines. It is fur­ ther stated that factories in many other cities are to follow suit.

The convention will be held early next year. Whether or not the slate can be carried through remains to be seen. 16?"The thousands of brides who have visited the Treasury on their weddinp tours, and have been allowed to hold in their hands for a few moments the big bundle of money so carefully done up in manilla paper, sealed with great blotches of sealing wax and marked "$2,000,000" will realize what a wicked and deceptive world this is when they know that the real contents of the package were simply two old census reports. The innocent deception has been carried on for a quar­ ter of a century. GEN. GEORGE C. RODGERS FOR REPRESENTATIVE. The announcement of Gen. George C. Rodgers, of Waukegan, as an Indepen­ dent Democratic candidate for Represen­ tative of this District is backed up by a strong petition. That the General will have a large following is assured from theetrrt. His party will give him a reasonably fair support, as well as many of his old comrades. Of the two thous­ and soldiers credited to Lake county in the Union army, he is the only one who came out of the service a full Brigadier General, a distinct on and an honor that speaks louder than words of praise for his loyalty,Ihis gallant services and ability. The voters of theDistrict should remember these facts at the coming election. His ability and experience rec­ ommend him for the position, and if he is elected his constituents will be ably and honestly represented. His. four years service in support of the Union as a sol­ dier, entitles him to a fair recognition at the hands of the people of his district. Give the old veteran your assistance.

I@°Among sixty convicts in Sing Sing, New York, prison, who professed religion after an exhortation by Mrs. Ballington Booth a few days ago, was John Y. McKane, the political manipulator of Gravesend, whose rascalities in 1884 in counting Butler's vote for Cleveland, de­ feated James G. Blaine for the ^Presi- dency and inflicted the subsequent ills of a "mugwump" administration of public affairs upon a suffering people; It will take a little more than a mere profession of repentance to wash away the stain upon McKane's perjured soul. A FRIEND IN NEBD. Gen."Garfield had more money a few days after his nomination than he ever had at any other time in his life. He reached Cleveland from the Chicago con vention with just §30 in his pocket. That represented all the wealth he had in the world, except his inortgaeed home at Mentor. Knowing this circumstance, Sylvester T. Everett, the well-known Cleveland banker, in whose house he was a guest, started out one morning with little subscription paper, and came back with ten ftl,000 checks, oue of which bore his own signature. He fixed up a bank book with a package of bank checks, put them all in an envelope, and at the first opportunity handed the package to Gar­ field with a remark that there was a lit tie pin money for his personal expenses during the campaign, and an explana tion that not a penny of it was to be ppent for political purposes. When the general realized the amount and the nature of the gift he fell upon Everett's neck and wept like a child. He said that the greatest load he had to bear had been taken from him, for he had been lying awake nights wondering how he was going to meet his personal ex penses during the campaign. He said too, that he never had so much money before in his life.--6liicago Record, r' There is no lead on the heels of English justice. A man was hanged in London recently for a murdercommitted last April, and two others were hanged for a murder committed in February. The United States would do well to pat­ tern after England in meeting out stern and speedy justice to murderers. In this country, if a conviction of murder in the first degree is obtained, which is Dvery seldom done, the murderer, if he does not escape the death penalty, mmages by means of appeals to higher courts, mo­ tions for a new trial, and other legal entanglements to prolong his life for several years after the crime was com­ mitted. Justice in this* country is alto­ gether too slow. t®" The filled cheese business has been virtually legislated out of existence, would seem, by the act passed by the late Congress. Manufacturers are taxed $400 annually ; wholesale dealers, f 250 retailers, $120.. In addition to these taxes, the product itself is taxed one cent per pound, and imported filled cheese is taxed 8 cents per pound, in all dition to the import duty. All packages must be branded and dealers must dis play a big black sign on white ground, bearing the words, "Filled Cheese Sold Here." I]n- The Coal you bought last lall ?
