^SIEEPYE^' Me WEDNESDAY. MAY 12, 1897. Ji VAN SLYKE, Editor |©" Butter ee^emed in good demand .Monday on the Elgin Board of Tracle, and every lot offered was sold at 14%c The sales amounted to 58,8 tubs. terThe Waukegan Gazette says: "No newspaper that would openly and bold­ ly advocate Buch iniquitous and infa. mous measures could long be published in this city, The people and the press of Chicago are in harmony in this fight against the Humphrey bills, as every leg­ islator whohas voted or will, vote for the measures has learned to his sorrow. Furthermore, no quarter will be asked or given in this fight. There will be no compromise with the Judases whose hands touch gold as the price of their be­ trayal of the interests not only of their present constituents but of generations yet unborn." "Rambler," in Elgin Every Satur- day, never talks but he says something. Here is one one of his.latest good things: "A French "doctor has discovered the microbe that causes bald heads. O, pshaw! I'm tired of these doctors who are forever scraping acquaintances with these vile little microbes who are so full of deviltry. Can't some doctor or some­ one else discover or invent a few good little microbes somewhere who do not breathe pestilence and breed corpses? While on this line of discovery can't some good friend of humanity'discover the political bacteria which is responsible for the moral death in our politics? Pos­ sibly that little evil genius has been dis­ covered. Possibly the political microbe has been photographed. If so, here is .his picture--$$. His blight is on our body politic and it means moral death. PRACTICE VS. PREACHING. Senator Mason is shaking up the old dry bones with his quaint* but practical illustrations, ^whenever he speaks. He astonished the "ancient barnacled" of the Senate by introducing a resolution to amend the rules BO as to expedite bus­ iness in that owlish branch of the legisla­ tive function of national government, and the support that resolution received was as astonishing to the "courteous" gentlemen of that astute body as it was gratifying to the general public. His in­ cidental reference, in his Grant speech, at Pittsburg, Pa., the other day, to a per­ sonal adaptation of the protective prin­ ciple, is not only unique but well worthy of profound consideration by - those Republicans who so loudly proclaim their adherence to "protection" to American industries, but practice "free trade" by purchasing foreign goods. Upon this point Mason -.trenchantly says: If we had the right sort of patriotism and Republicanism in the' hearts of the people there would not be so much de­ mand for a tariff for protection. I am one of the Republicans that never pay apy tariff tax. I never buy anything if 1 can help it that is not made and produc­ ed by American labor. I imbibed that doctrine and the practice of that doctrine from that prince of protection, Wm. McKihley. of Ohio. When the old McKinley bill was pending I remember to have agreed with him and several others to begin to practice what we preached. Now, hefe is this suit of clothes. A dress suit, so called. One of my distinguished colleagues oi the^ Illi­ nois legislature, from the Stock l ards district, used to call them low-necked pants. It is all wool, more than two yards wide: but, like me,it was born and brought up in this country, and when I paid for it, as I did, and you kuow the reason why, the Democrats promised to destroy the trusts, and they did; that is the trust they used to have at the tailor shop. When I paid for this suit of clothes I paid the man who raised the wool and every man, woman and child who contributed to its making, includ­ ing the dyer, carder and the spinner This cloth was made in Pennsylvania. Very Low Rates to the West and South.

Fuller, of that city, for. the foffice of Circuit Judge, pays him the following just tribute: "The nomination of Mr. Fullar was in accord with the previously express approbation of the general pub­ lic as well as the members of the bar. His quick, keen, logical mind and equa­ ble temperament, combined with a natur­ al sturdy love of justice, unite in making material for a first-class judge. He has honored the bench as he has honored the bar. He has been gifted by nature with an eminently legal mind, for lawyers are born not made. The ability to instantly grasp and formulate a proposition, re­ jecting everything not bearing upon the matter, combined with an intuitive judg­ ment of human nature, is a striking characteristic of Chas. E. Fuller's men­ tality, besides being versed in the techni calities of the law.

Hawaii, during the war, contributed more than a full quota of soldiers to fight for the Union. The Fourth of July and Thanksgiving day are observed in the islands as reverently and joyously as they are in this country, and on Memo­ rial Day the veterans of the Grand Army post in Honolulu march to the cemetery to strew flowers upon the graves of their departed comrades. In civilization, lan­ guage, laws, institutions, customs and tendencies, in everything but geographi­ cal position, Hawaii is American. She is bound to this country by a thousand ties of commercial interest, * family kinship, sympathy, tradition and political asso­ ciation, and annexation, instead of dis­ turbing the natural relation between the two countries, would only make it stronger and more enduring.--New York Mail. e I®"'Some of the country papers in this part of the state have recently published a iengtby article containing an assault on the Chicago papers because they, with one inglorious exception, fought the Humphrey bills, tooth and hail. The ar­ ticle was sent out by the street car com­ panies, and each paper was offered $15 for publishing it. " Comparatively few papers accepted. The Elgin Courier, in epeaking of this matter says: "The Yerkes atcempt to bias public opinion by publishing in all the papers of the state, a specious argument, disguised as a telegram failed, few, if any, respectable papers accepting the bribe offered to print it. By means of this bribe the companies evidently hoped to influence the press of the state and therefore secure the passage of the Humphrey bills. For tunately for the people, its press is not BO venal as to be bought for an adver tisement, and the laBt desperate artifice of the Yerkes people was promptly ex­ posed and consequently fell flat." As the Freeport Daily Democrat, on of the papers endeavored to be subsidized says: "Such a barefaced attempt at wholesale bribery has never been undertaken in this state." I®" There is no man who fills sensible and {patriotic Americans with greater disgust than ex-Ambassador Bayard. Not satisfied with exalting every thing English, and referring to his fellow coun­ trymen as a "rude and turbulant peo­ ple," he must needs exhaust the patience of every one with a thimbleful of brains by continually abasing himself before ex- PresidentCleveland. His latest peiform- ance is to make a suggestion that "Mr. Cleveland will again be called upon to take the reins of government." In Bay­ ard's opinion, no man but Cleveland .is fit to be president in this country,and he ought to be installed in the White House for life. The ex-ambassador has gone too far, however, tor seme of the wor shipers of the Cleveland fetich to follow him. The New York -Times says that "Cleveland would not take the nomina­ tion for the presidency if it were offered him." This we doubt, Cleveland has never refused anything. He isn't built that way. But we heartily agree with the Times when it says: "No party leader or national convention would think of nominating him." He is a man without a 'party. A few hypocritical and sniveling Mugwumps fawn at his feet and that is all.
