DAT, MAY 11, 1892. VA-IV 8LYKE, X>litor. fe. . TAX: BTATB CONVENTION. 1%e Republican State Convention, which met in Springfield last week, was one of the largest, moat enthusiastic and harmonious Conventionsever held by the party in this State, and the result is a ticket strong from top to bottom. The Convention made but one mistake, and that was in their nominations for Con- gressmen-at-Large, and now, after ma­ ture deliberation, we think that will be admitted by all. The honest, clean administration of Governor Fifer was endorsed and he was nominated on the first ballot, by practi­ cally a unanimous vote, as everybody knew he would be. But one ballot was necessary for the entire ticket from Gov­ ernor to Congre&sman-at-Large, two be­ ing necessary in this case only. An ex­ change, in speaking of the convention, says: "Hlmo|e Republicans were partic­ ularly fortunate in the selection of their ticket. It is both an old soldier's ticket and a young man's ticket. It is a ticket that inspires the confidence of all true citizens. It is a ticket to which labor can turn with assurance of finding friends who are dauntless, full of courage and Sympathy. It is a ticket composed of man who have a high and just regard for human rights. It is a ticket selected by the people to serve the people. There are no barrel candidates thereon. Not even the enemy has dared intimate that any one was selected through undue influence. It Is a ticket worthy of the support of all law-abiding citizens." We shall have something more to say of the several candidates as thecampaign progresses. In the meantime let every Republican prepare to take off his coat and work for the whole ticket. We will have no less than 30,000 majority for Gov. Fifer. It should be 50,000. Let us all work to that end. IV At Elgin Monday 13,980 pounds of butter sold at 20 cents a pound. A year ago the price was 25 cento. WThe police captured a few. flags of the anarchistic color,--red--in Chicago, daring the labor parade last Sunday. Chief McLaughry says emphatically the emblem of disorder and murder cannot wave in that city, and every law-abiding and country loving citizens will stand at his back. MTSenator Milton W. Mathews, editor of the Champaigne County Herald, died at his home in Urbana, 111., on Thursday afternoon, with heart trouble. Senator Mathews was one of the most promi­ nent Republican politicians in the State and his early death will be sincerely mourned by all. He was about iorty ...Hwrena Plage. V There's no Danrer t Of anyone now-a-days going by any other day train than the "AltonV, St. Louis Limited from Chicago to St. Louis. The reason is simple enough, for the "Alton" is the shortest line and "the Limited" is the fastest train. Leaves Chicago 11 a. m., arrives St. Louis 7:30 p. m. There's no extra fare for all this, Sogene Field's Dream. Vo one realizes better than Eugene Field himself what Mrs. Field has had to endure by reason of his peculiarities and he illustrates this by narrating a dream he claims to have had, writes John Ballantyne in a delightfully gossipy sketch of Mrs. Eugene Field in the April Ladies Home Jouinal. " I thought," he says, "that I had died and gone to heaven. I had some difficulty in getting past St. Peter, who examined my record closely and regarded me with doubt and suspicion, but finally permitted me to enter the pearly gates. As I walked up the street of the heavenly city, I saw a venerable old man, with long gray hair and flowing beard. His benignant face encouraged me to address him Pithy, Pointed (tad Pertinent. Somt) of the bravest Presidential candi­ dates would be glad to compromise with a place in the cabinet or a first-class mission abroad. The Reading Railroad coal trust does not object to expensive litigation so long as it is allowed to make the coal consum­ ers pay the bills. Representative Newberry, of Illinois, is entitled to the belt as the champion rainbow chaser. He said, in a recent interview at Washington, that Wisconsin was as certain to go Democratic, next November, as Kentuckey. His friends should watch him carefully. There were no absentees at Europe's royal roll-call the morning after the dreaded May Daly. Will some one kindly explain why It is that the lynching of a negro in any sec­ tion of the South is always followed by news of a dangerous uprising of negroes, who invariably threaten to massacre the entire white population, and who just as invariably do not do it? Can it be that the news of these alleged uprisings is manufactured and sent out to distract public attention from the lynching? The Senate finds no difficulty in keep- iug well ahead of the House by working just four days a week, but the Senate is not hampered by a Democratic majority. Toadyism is becoming a gigantic evil in this country, and the newspapers are largely responsible for it.. Ben Butler chuckles and winks othsr eye, every time lie reads a new attack on his book. Ferdinand Ward having found the re­ ward for being a "Napoleon of finance" rather monotonous and confining, will now try his hand at being a printer. The promotion is greater than he has shown himself to deserve. Honduras couldn't stand Uncle Sam's turning the cold shoulder to her, so she has graciously decided to admit a long list of our manufactures free of duty, in order that she'may get a seat at the reciprocity table. Uncle Sam has given her a cordial welcome to the banquet, while he announces that arrangements have been made for a reciprocity lunch­ eon with Austria. Poor old Britania looks on and grits her old false teeth with rage because of her failure to make an impression on Jonathan. The Mugwumps have thrown up the sponge early in the campaign, and E. L. Godkin, chief-priest of the cult, and editor of the New York Evening Po&t, has gone to Europe to escape contamin­ ation. It is not perhaps just the right thing to "look a gift horse in the mouth/' but the thought naturally arises that the $5,000 contribution of Tammany Hall to the Grant monument fund came from the same place that the f 10,000 which Mayor Grant gave to his God-daughter several years ago, did. It is said-that the manipulators of the Reading coal trust have already cleared f6,000,000 on the deal, and hope to largely increase it through a general raise in the Driceofcoal. Perhaps the public may take a notion some day to do a little "raising" on ita own hook. No wonder Mrs. Langtry succeeded in the comedy called, "The Fringe of So­ ciety." She has been living on the fringe 'of society a good many years. * America is now teaching the Russian peasants that one touch of nature which makes the whole world kin, and they are proving apt pupils. Secretary Foster thinks it is worry, and not work, that kills or breaks down our public men. HARVARO. EDITOR PI>A I N J>E A I,EB M. F, Walsh, and E. S. Smith retained Friday from Springfield whither they went as dele­ gates to attend the State convention. They are both badly disappointed at the defeat of Hon.C. E. Fuller for Cougreas- man-at-large. J. D. Clark was home %>ver Sunday. He has been sitting on the Federal grand jury, at Chicago, tor the past two weeks. Lawyer Smiley, of Woodstock, "smiled a smile" in this city last Saturday. He was astonished at the crowds on our streets. "The power of the press" can beplainly felt any evening about 7:30 o'clock, at the post office. Gus Clark says "court" house is the proper name for the build­ ing. President of the Board of Education Gardner has appointed Tommy Collins bicycle holder to the lady teachers. By the way, it is not generally known that this city is noted for its many expert "wheel" riders but such is the case. We also have a number of politicians with wheels in their heads. But we believe we have mentioned that^fact before. Henry Veirk is this week cleaning the streets, tie says he want1* everything looking nice and clean during the World's Fair. The ladies ot the W. R. C. of J. A. Manzer Poit, G. A. R., gave an enjoyable entertainment in the Presbyterian Church, Friday evening. W. C. Wood, the colored elocutionist, of Bejoit College, rendered a number of selections in his usual faultless manner. The receipts of the evening will be «sed to defray the Memorial Day expenses. It is thua the ladies of this society show their good taste and patriotism. Long may they live to "cover them over with beautiful flowers." Wm. Bowman and Freida Tesna were married, in the Congregational Church, Sunday, the Rev. Camerer officiating. Your correspondent was present, but as the ceremony was all Dutch to him, and not having his interpeter, (Jimmy Walsh of the Herald,) with him, he is unable to give you a very full account of the affair. News items this week are like good Democrats--scarce, very scarce. A concert was held at the Congrega­ tion Church Monday evening, consisting of Instrumental and Vocal Music, Recita­ tion*, etc. Miss Mame Groesbeck, the charming young elocutionist, did herself proud on that occasion. Dr. Blanchard is having his old house, on Church St., torn down and will erect in its stead a large modern dwelling house. P. W. allows no one to fly higher than he. ' Ed. Smith has purchased two lots in Hart's addition and has already com­ menced to build thereon. This part of the city is rapidly being built up. There has been more houses built there in the last three years than in all the rest of the town put together. We have a dealer in Chicago suburban real estate, in this city, who is not at all well at this writing. And thereby hangs a tale. He dropped into our office this morning--as he often does--to orate on the many advantages to be derived from investing in real.eetate around Chicago. But before commencing he prefaced his remarks (that were never uttered,) with, "Is this cold enough for you?" The doctors say if he can be kept from talk­ ing, and with good nursing, he may be around in a year or two, but will proba­ bly be a helpless cripple for life.

The acting was good, This society makes but few demands upon the public, but in a quiet way they are doing a great deal of good.

"Indeed," I exclaimed, "are you that lob whom we were taught to revere as the most patient man in the world?"
