M^The reorganization of the Inter" n«1 revenue districts which President Arthur has effected. Is a reform meas­ ure which will be commended by the w people throughout the country, The ^feeling that something should be done In this line was Manifested last winter when the senate refused to concur in the reduction bypassed by the house >' of representatives. That bill proposed £ reducing the number of Yistricts from T IN to 8i, and that Is just what the ; president has done. The sefand and s third districts of tlfls State ha ve been - consolidated and will hereafter bo known'as the second, with L. D. Crock­ er as collector, and beadqnarter« at Aurora. ^_ The Woodstock Sentinel challenged the independent to show up the crook- <*t!ne«s «»f the Sentinel's reputed etlUor. which ehailenge was duly accepted and the Independent proceeded to business. • TlMMSgh thf! showing up process was •only barely hegnu, the editor wlio . wished to be showed up threw up the ;i Sjioafo and declared he would treat the now as he has in the past, •trttil silent contempt."

IMr, the Independent should deal *nt|? with their very weak brother of MM lisdsrt. Under the penal code It Is a misdemeanor to wilfully annoy Idiot*. A Springfield dispatch, under date of June fist, says: "©en. Dick Oglesby has been In the city a couple of days, In consultation with members or the general assembly relative to the cam­ paign of 1884. His friends who accom­ pany him say he Is fairly in the field for the Republican nomination for governor, and that If the nomination comes to him with anything like cor­ diality lie will aocept it and make a vigorous canvass of the state. They also declare that no manipulation of the party machine can overcome the popu­ lar sentiment In his favor; that lie has received great encouragement from the Uullom men in the senatorial contest, and that he Is daily In receipt of pledges ot support from all sections of the state. His presence here at this lime is intended as the origin of a "boom'1 In his behalf, to be increased upon the return of members of the legislature to their constituents. It is also said that Oglesby was requested to become a candidate distinctively Op­ posed to the Logan element, but this he declined, with the declaration that If he could not be a candidate of the whole party he would not be a candi­ date at all. He earnestly pronounced against any factional fight, either for himself or for any one else." totrlM* l'enuayl7KRl» Politic*. Mr. G. H. Magee, one of the Regular Republican leaders in Pennsylvania has no doubt that harmony will prevail in the party in that State. He says that everything that the Independents de­ manded has been conceded, and conse­ quently they have no grievance any longer. The prospects of success he believes depend somewhat upon the re suit in Ohio. If the latter State elests Foraker, Pennsj Ivania will give an old time Republican majority, but there will be a hard struggle if Hoadley suc­ ceeds. Mr. Magee pays that Senator Cameron is doing nothing to influence the selection of candidates OR the Re­ publican ticket or to control the party In any way, and lie will probably not be a candidate for re-election to the Sen­ ate in 1885. These statements of an old-tiine Cameron leader show how completely the defeat of last year changed the attitude of the Regular Repnoliyans. Indeed the Independents triumphed so absolutely that tlier ap­ pear to be entirely satisSed without putting forth any further efforfc The people of Pennsylvania and those of New York, have begun to leaf*n that the most putrid humbug In poli­ tics is a democratic "reform" legisla­ ture. Not only has the law making body of the Keystone state passed ob­ noxious measures aty) raised partisan­ ship above principal, but it has materially increased the tax burdens. A table published in the Philadelphia Press shows that the Increase of demo­ cratic appropriations in 1883 over the republican appropriations in 1881 is nearly $400,000. This increase brings no compensating benefit to the tax. payers, and is due to reckless ext rava- auce. The only possible good that comes out of It is a condemnation of the party which gave it birth. Than « Ooeen of th* Beaf Steel Files. One of the most interesting devices shown at the Exposition is the cast Iron file invented by Mr. Martin A. Howell. Jr., who>>e present address is with Mr. J. A. Webb. No. 111 South Clark Street, Chicago. Some three years ago Air, Howell comnicnced a series ef experiments vvjth a view of testing the relative superiority of homogeneous anil fibrous metal*. He ,soon discovered that the greatest pow­ ers of resistance wens with the former condition gf the metal and that steel, no matter how thoroughly hammeied, the action of oxj'gen during the several processes of forging, heating and re­ heating, deprives the metal of a large part of its powers of resistance, through, the oxidation of the metal, and of free carbon, the latter being the common^ result of the annealing process. With­ out pausing to discuss or explain far­ ther the scientific proce«ses we come at once to resulrs. Mr. Howell has suc­ ceeded in producing cast iron tiles far superior to any sfeel ones now m;ule. One 6i then) will outlast a dozen of. the best steel tiles. Hear what some of the leading iron and steel workers in the United States say of them. The Adams &;. Westlake Manufacturing Co., of Chicago, gave it a thorough te*t on a large cast steel CIIUCK and pronounce |t the hest Hie they have ever used. The Crane Brothers Manufacturing Co.C of Chicago say, "We have u'eil the flies you left with us for trial and find that*, it has worn out at least five ordinary; files." S. D. Ch'ilds «te (Jo., Chicago, en-„ gravers and die sinkers attest^-.. vWefc Itave been using for the past six f^$eks|: on steel die works principally, oti« of your cast iron tiles. We say Without any hesitation that it is t]ie best fi!<» we have ever nse<l." Cyrus Cnrrler & Sors. Newark, N. J.. "We hs»ve used one of your cast iron files under c«>ndi- tims that would have worn out three": of the best steel files. It'lins covered' six miles of cast iron surface, has heertj used on steer mandrels under pressure that •vould have used up a steel tile at once, It cuts much faster iliuti a steel file, and *eenis to be practically indes­ tructible." Messrs..Gould & Eheriiardt.' of Newark. N. .1. «=fiv. "VV«* have used your cast iron tile N<>. 303 on hard iron that would ruin anordin iry Mleina few strokes without dulling It. We-have' done work enough with it. to wear out two or three of the best files we use, which are A No 1." Watt*. Camphrl) & Co., of Newark. N. J., say, "We inve done enough work with your cast iron file No. 3">8, to use up three of the best English tiles. It Is in nearly as good condition as before we used it, and seems to be indestructible." Testimon­ ials such as these, extending over tlie space of two years and more, set at rest all question as to the relative value of Mr. Howell's cast iron files compared with tlio best In the market. They were a complete revelation to the workmen in the different shops, and a fruitful source of discussion. This suc­ cess of Mr. Howell, as the product of a process ot pure reasoning, m<irks him at mice as one of the leading metallur­ gists of the day. Details can be hud by iiddressing liim as above.

The Cltiiiere government has at last awak­ ened to resist this interference with Its territorial rights. France has now ~ to face the stubborn fact that China is cresolved to fight,and that it will not l*e a war with clumsy junks and ill-dis- Hpliued troops, but with the best iron dads and steel plated ships of war. and soldiers armed with weapons of the latest improvements and trained In all ttio skill of modern warfare, find far outnumbering them that can be sent from Europe, all directed by the great statesman la llu 'g Chang, whom Gen­ eral Grant pronounced as one of the jtfrir leading statesmen of the world, or three, now that Oambetta Is dead. i; tSTThe moist' interesting contribu­ tion to Mie political topics of the day Is Senator Mahoue's talk in Washington wltli a reporter of the New York Her- aid. Ae asserts that the readjuster* in tbe reeent local elections have gained in the while counties and have not lost scything material in the other/. He claims that his party has doubled the number of schools in the state; that there are twice as many children re- oeiving education as under the bourboii rule; that the accommodations for in­ tone and lielplefs hare been improved And increased; that taxes have been reduced; that tlie finances of the state •w in better shape; that there is money enough »n, band to pay all just and due ybligiitioiui wt ilie elate, lie says they bave wrefUid the ttnte from bourbon j lllle, and lu tbe election the coming fall thev will carry It again.

He •4jre tluire has been no break with tbe national administration that he is •ware »»f, and that In 1684 ;lie readjust* *r* will support that party that guar­ antees them the heat government. If (Senator Mahoue's statement goes un> challenged, people will begin to form a better opinion of the readjuster chaai- |»ion and his followers. •^Several cases have been reported through the country lately of re mar- riages of divorced husbands and wives. These are not only added arguments against divorces, but added arguments against hasty marriages also. The mutual affection that can outlive a divorce court and find itself ready to begin life over again, might have waited in tlie first place till the age of childish quarrelling was past. In most of these-cases the parties married first when mere children, 16 to 20 years of age*-<-Inter Ocean. WE glean the following lit relation to the condition of the crops in Mc- Heniy and Lake counties, from the Iliiuois Crop Circular, Issued from the Stats Department of Agriculture: McHENRY--The area ot corn l» some larger than Inst season.but the condition is not up to an average. About two-thirds of the seejl was jfoorl Some corn wan up Mav 15th, Ixit the majority ot farmers were not through planting ait that'late. There will be more replanting tins nc^«on than usual. The area ol corn is as IfUffe as last ae.-ison ,aml the condition is near, ly up to an average. The area planted to sorg. hum cane is as large am last season, but has not maile sufficient growth to iietermine con- (lition. Tlie limitsil area of winter wheat will make about three-fourths of an average vielil peracre Wheat is about eleven indies'high Spring wheat is nearly up lo on average in condition. Oats t>rnnii»c more than an a'ver- age yield per acre. Itye looks well. The area of barley its soine larger than last vear, and the condition gives encouragement "for nearly an average yield per acre. Flax is nptoan average con'iition. The area u neatly one- fourtlt tbau Inst season. Tobacco looks welt, un>l the area is as large as ii: l*8i The area of timothy and clover meadow is gome larger than last season. Young clover and pastures are nearly up to an average in condition. Irish and «weet potatoes are up to an avenge in condition The area of Irish potatoes is not quite as large as in MM. There wis about an average bloom of plums, gooseberries ami strawberries, three-fourths ol an average bloom of raspberries, blackberries and cur. rants, two.thirds of an average bloom of ap pies, pears and grapes, and le<s than half an average bloom of cnerries. I'rospects are en. couraging for an avenge crop of plums, straw berries and gooseberries, tliree.fourths of an average crop of pears, grapo.% raspberries, blackbeiries and currants, nearly two thirds of a crop of apples and about half a crop of cherries. The peach crop will be a failure. The number of pigs, lambs, colts aud calves this spring is less than last sea?oi, Young Bti ck is nearly up to an average condition. Few calves are raised by dairymen. Calves are sent to Chicago at a very early age. The supply of cows comes ptincipally from Wis- consin and Iowa. Dairymen are good feeders and when a cow becomes unprofitable fcr the dairy she is dried up and sent to the butcher. I.AKE--The area planted to corn largely ex­ ceeds that of 1882; corn has made out little growth, and th« stand la uneven; prospects are favorab'.e for nearly an average yield p«r aero. Area of broom coin is as large as last season. Sorghum cane looks well, and the area is as large as last season. Winter wheat Is not up to an average in condition. Spring wheat, oals and rje look well. Not as large area seeded to barley as in 1882; condition | roarlv up to an average. The area see led to [ flax is about one-third as large as in 1882; pros­ pects good for half an average yield per acre. Area of meadows and pastures some larger than last je r; the late seeding of clover not quite as laige as in 1884. Meadows and pas tures nearly up to an average condition. The area of Irish potatoes is some larger than last season; prospects fair for nearly an average yield per acre. There was an average bloom ot pears, strawberries and currants; nearly an average bloom of gootr lorries; over three fourths of an average bloom of apples, cher­ ries, grapes and raspberries; nearly three- fourths of .in a vet age bloom of blackberries.
