They have not learned anvthln* during the past year, notwithstanding the great practical leiwon which Secretary Sherman has taught the country, and they go on with their bare faced lying as in 1878. Both the Maine and Ohio conventions declare that the bonded debt of the government Ik annually increasing and liold out to the people the alarming fact that the natioual debt is constant* ly .growing larger and larger. It is •musing to hear these lunatics talk, es|>ectally when their statements are io notoriously false as to make the men who promulgate them ridiculous. Compare these alarming statements withthe facts. The official figures of the Treasury Department show that the interest-bearing debt of the country was largest August 31, 1866.-- when it amounted to 02,381,530,294,96, Upon which the annual interest charge was #160.977,697,87. August 1, 1879 when the refunding operations will have been completed for the present and no class of bonds will appear twice lathe debt statement, as has been necessary during the period of refund­ ing, the bonded debt of the country will amount to #1,797.643,700, bearing annual interest amounting to 982,773,- $8,60. / Here is a redaction of the bonded debt of the eountry tjetween 1865 and 1879, aggregating $5&Sj886,594,96 and a reduction of interest l^nounting to #67- 108,919,37 annually. The recent re­ funding operations and specie resump­ tion have resulted in a net saving to the country of $10,327,177 per annum.-- And yet is the broad light of these gratifying fasts those wise acres of Grean backers keep telling the country tftattlie national debt is gradually In­ creasing, that the government is going to flnaucial ruin arid that more green­ backs is the only panacea which will o«nr debts, give everybody every- ' thtag tliat invagination craves and fix Up patters so that no one need econo­ mise, produce or labor to be rich. And yet just such fools as these have a fol­ lowing which give them the balance of power in some important states. In $Rtfo they poll 3fjOQ9 votes. s£s ' * : |&"*The of the Poster --lifeet Vsade afiotiier splurge last week, but It sounds so much like a half whipped school boys composition that we hard- *ljr consider it worthy of notice. If he ba»Mthingelse to talk about but typo­ graphical errors, we would advise him to look over his own smutty sheet, and we guarantee he won't need specs to find as many as can be found in any other paper in the county. Self praise H a good thing. He says he "publish­ es the best and most readable paper in HcHetiry county." That will do for J&m to say, but we will guarantee there Is not another man in McHenry county that will say the same thing. Bis only fAque against the Plaindk>lkb is be­ cause when he assumed his present po­ sition we did not come out and say he ' was the great "I am," who was going t* revolutionize journalism in McIIenry County. We did not think so and sim­ ply let him alone, believing that the people would find it out to their own satisfaction soon enough, and from gen­ eral remarks which we have heard in different parts of the county, we guess they have. He winds up his composi­ tion by saying: "If Van will or can be 1, man we will meet him half wajy,*'-- We don't believe it. We don't believe lie has a particle of manhood |n bis egotistical carcass. - y I' THB APFK1.1.ATK CODltt ' ';v Judge Isaac G.

His many friends cn this section will wish him success in hia'enterprise. T1 mo was, when the question of fences and public ground brought to the surface of Wauconda a multitude of keen, well posted lawyers. Time Is, when the question of steam boa to has resusitated a young army of practical Boat bulldeis and marine engineers* Prolific Wauconda! Those who have seen the full sized posters announcing a 4th of July Cele- bratiou in Wauconda and who have not had a magnifying glass will be sur­ prised to learn that F. B. Harrison's name appears thereon. One would In­ fer that Mr. Harrison was expected to read. It is to be regretted that this couldf not have been more positively and conspiciously stated on the bills. That people would have come miles and miles to hear the gentlemen is beyond question. We hope the management will have some more bills struck of at once and give Mr. Harrison's name the prominence it deserves. The Fire Work Dance held last Fri­ day evening was a grand success. Funds enough were secured to give a large and grander display than Lake county has witnessed for years. Mr. Maiman has the thanks of the entire communi­ ty for the use of his hall, as do also the Musicians for their services. At a meeting held for the purpose, a constitlon and By-Laws was adopted by "The Wauconda Steamer Barge Club," under which the following offi­ cers were chosen: President, Robert Harrison; Vice President, Dr. 0. R. Wells; Manajprand Captain,C. Cog- gin; Secretary and Treasurer, F. B. Harrison; Assistant Manager. Thos. Grantham. Any one wishing to take stock in this enterprise may apply for information to any of the above named gentlemen., Several prominent gentlemen have been invited to speak here on July4tli, among the number Col. E. B. McClan- ahan, of Chicago, (uot Tennessee) an able lawyer, a thorough gehtleman and a gifted orator. By an accident of birth, Mr. McClanalian was born in one of the Southern States, which is sufficient grounds for some people|to base an unfair amoent of unfair talk.-- The Col. Is not a rebel, but he !a prob­ ably as eloquent and easy a public speaker as Illinois can produce from among her citizens today. We notice that parties are advertis­ ing that the Wauconda Brass Band has been secured for the 4th, of July feway from home. This is positively untrue, as (every member of the Wauconda Brass Band will w in Wauconda all day July 4th. and a better Band is not in Lake county. Our statement last week regarding the Barge has more tliau proved true. It is now just about hall completed.
