Friday morning a Millersburg, Ohio, fiuiotu oct.i't/ii lliiltKiinp county will instruct its delegates to vote for Richard Yates for Congress-man-at la-ge. We hoj>e that in this utterance Brother Ilodder is not inspired. It seems to us that it would be the worst pfcee of political folly and ingratitude that could be perj>etrntt'd. The Republican family in the Fifth dis­ trict, is now remarkably harnonious. It is very desirable that this condition of affairs should continue. We are all proud of the record which Mr. Hopkins is making, as representative from this dis­ trict. We consider him an exceedingly able representative and destined to re­ ceive still further honors at the hands of his party. This, however, does not blind our eyes to the fact that Mr. Fuller, who also lives in this Congressional District, has been endorsed by the Republicans of Boone, Stephenson and other counties forthe position of Congressman-at-large. Other counties, as they 4ihold their-con­ ventions will surely instruct for him. Mr. Fuller is recognized as one of the best speakers, most able politicians, and staunchest Republicans in the State. His services to the party during the memor­ able Logan campaign, as well as during the last senatorial contest, and on many other occasions cannot be forgotton by the party, and ought to be rewarded by it. Now if Kate county, under these cir­ cumstances, should instruct for some other candidate; it could hardly be con­ strued by the remaining counties in this district, as anything but a direct notice that no one but a Kane county man need apply for any of the prominent offices that might come this way. This is not just, nor is it good politics. There are enough Republican voter* in this district and enough brilliant Republicans to en­ title us to the Congressman-at-large as well as our own representative. We are all united on Kane County's favorite Bon for Congressman from this district. Now let this district be united on Mr. Fuller for Congressman-at-large. This is reason; this is political comity. We are in favor of reciprocity in politics as well as in commerce. There is no reason in politics or in friendship why Kane county should not cast her vote for Mr. Fuller any more than there is why Boone county should not cast l\pr vote for Mr. Hopkins. We feel confident that Kane county will do so. "Let us JiaVe peace." There should be no clpstifng of interests in this matter. Thrbest friends of the one are the beat friends of the other far the respective positions.--North inob lynched an unknown negro, hang- tag him to a tree. He had been about (• -the towa a few weeks and had been ^ . notified to leave. He had lingered about *>' - |>eopk' 6 doorsteps and annoyed them in Various ways.

The Chicago boodlers found talking -fh General Duetin, of Sycamore, who was placed in charge of the sub-treasury, Chicago, by Presdent Harrison, died in the South a day or two ago, where he had gone for his health. "Gov. Fifer has designated Friday April 8, as Arbor Day; and in conformity with the governor's proclamation State Superintendent Raab recommends that the public schools of the state observe the day with appropriate exercises, in­ cluding the planting of trees, shrubs, and floVers upon school premises. Nearly all the counties" in which Republican conventions have so far been held in this State have instructed their delegates in favor of the renomination of Gov. Fifer. This is as it should be. "Pri­ vate Joe" has given the State a wise and patriotic administration, he is one of its most gifted Republicans, and he is the most popular man to head the State ticket. 10*The Inter Ocean says: "Judging from the counties which have a already held their Conventions, Gov. Filer is reasonably sure, barring accidents, to come in under the wire first, only one ballot being necessary." And they might also have added that the howlers in McHenry County, are now all trying to 'get into the Band Wagon, but the people propose to let them walk. McHenry county will send a sound Fifer delegation to Springfield May 4th. ¥ $1*: The Indiana, the relief ship sent to Russia, with flour and provision for the starving peasants, has arrived and was received with great demonstrations. The cargo will be distributed immediately. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that Russia is deeply grateful to the American people for what they have done. If the American people knew, says the dispatch trOm the American committee in St. Petersburg, the extent of the suffering in the famine districts of Russia they would everywhere come t« the rescue. Twenty millions of people are in danger of star­ ve, ton and typhus fever Is racing in many provinces. rough the ceiling as dangerous as other men have found talking through their hats. The boodlers will hereafter do their confidential talking in the mid die of an open lot. Poor Hill. The Georgians are already referring to bim as a "dead duck" in the political barn-yard, and only the other day they were enthusiastically entertain­ ing him on "taffy". It is significant that the only hope the democrats now have of obtaining the Presidency is through throwing the elec­ tion into the House of Representatives which they already control. As this can be done only by the third party carrying several of the Northwestern States and as none of those states can be carried by that party without the votes of the Re­ publican members of the Farmer's Al­ liance and kindred organizations, it would seem to be a sort of forlorn hope in which they are indulging. The heart must be hard that does not respond in some way however small, to the wails which every breeze is wafting from the millions of starving Russians to their more fortunate brothers and sisters throughout the world. ' The things that Lord Salisbury knows this country will reject, and which he is willing to submit in order to gain time for the Canadian poaching sealers would fill a book. **• The New York headquarters of the Cleveland boom are in Wall street, and it is probable that he expects the largest part of his "sinews of war" to be accumu­ lated in the same locality.
