Last week when we went to press the returns then received indicated that the Republican State Ticket had been elected by a handsome majority, and we con­ gratulated ourselves that we lived in a Republican State. But later, returns Is a Hen a BlrdP The Canadian papers are all broke up over the ouestion, "I« a Hen a Bird?"

A small crumb, to be sure, such an one as might have been disdained in the better days we've Been, but a crumb is better than no gfcrt of the : The Eighth Senatorial District.

In the first place, according to their reading of the act, liens' egK« must be admitted to the United States free. The grounds for this belief are these: In the list of dutiable goods appears the item, "Eggs, five cents per dozen." In the list of free goods is this item: "Eggsof birds, fishes and insects, free." "Now," said Mr. G. W. Jesaup, Dominion appraiser and one of the best authorities on tariff matters in the Dominion, "ifan American importer enters a consignment of hens' eggs as eggs of birds, who can say that they are not birds' eggs? No one will have tho hardihood to say that a hen is not a bird. Even if the collector decided against the interpretation the importer would be entitled to get a ruling of the courts on the question. In Canada, the courts interpret our tariff strictly accord­ ing to its wording, and I suppose the same would be the case in the United States. The intention of the legislators would have no weight whatever. It has no weight or Btanding with the courts here. They simply take the tariff act. read the disputed paragraph, and decide according to the wording. Tlie question in this case, I suppose, would be, is a hen a bird ? and it is not difficult to see what the ruling would be." are in the hands of the enemy. In other werds "we have met ihe enemy and #e are their's " Wilson, the demagogue, has been elected State Treasurer, and Raab, the man who says the American Flag is only a rag, with a few spots painted thereon, is to preside over the Schools of this State. It is enough to make any loyal citizen of the State of Illinois hide his head in shame. But then we are thankful for small favors. We live in a Republican county, and in two years from now the grand old State of Illinois will redeem herself from this disgrace, and once more put herself in the column of Republican States The opinions as to the cause of the cyclone, as it is called, are varied, but in our opinion there was but one. We may discuss this mat ter later on. 4. '• P Isiy For the past six months or more flie New York Voice was engaged in rais­ ing a large sum, ($25,000), to be used in Hie canvass in Nebraska to defeat the Republican ticket. It was done. But /what has Prohibition gained? Just Stand back and see the harvest reaped from the T oiee fraud. . I®* We last week spoke of some report- ad chicanery that had been practiced by ^ a candidate on the County Ticket to de­ feat one of the Republican candidates for the Legislature. We are carefully inves- tigatiug the matter and when we are > , Sure we are right propose to handle the guilty party without gloves. We have »o friends to reward nor enemies to pun- * |sh, but if facts prove that men who are ; " t>eing honored by the Republican Party fcre trying to secretly cut its throat, all *e have to say is "stand from under." • %'<. 16^ Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, is mentioned as being possibly the Democrat who will take the place of Mr. Evarts in the United States Senate. It is unlikely that the Democrats of New York will be sensible enough to elect Mr. Dana, but they would be wise in so doing. Though a moderately bad case of Demo­ crat, no one doubts Mr. Dana's great fig; ability and his uprightness of purpose. . *' There is no other prominent Dem ocrat in New York of any thing like his caliber. It is to be assumed, though, that the Cleveland influence is against him and that he is not a part of the "machine" in State politics. THE COUNTY TICKET- The official vote shows that McHenry County held her own for an off year, not­ withstanding the terrible cyclone that passed over other portions of the coun try. James B. Perry, candidate for County Treasurer, received the largest vote of any one on the Republican ticket, while Asad Udell, candidate for Sheriff, received the smallest, every means known to tricksters being ustd to defeat him, but they did not succeed. The Republi­ can county ticket was elected entire, and those in our own ranks who attempted ] to defeat it will be remembered in the future. , A Public Calamity. The defeat of a man like Dr. Richard Edwards for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction by such a man as Henry Raab is a public calamity. This is the one result of the recent election of which it is most difficult to speak with patience, and the one most calculated to impair confidence in popular govern­ ment. It is enough to weaken any man's faith in popular suffrage when the people of a great commonwealth like Illinois will discard Richard Edwards for Henry Raab. It demonstrates the fact that Democracy is a disease, a constitutional infirmity, and that Democrat#', whether high or low degree, vote for their party, right or wrong, and without regard to the character of the opposing candidates. --Illinois State Journal. ds:sirofs of -DEALER IN.

Where is the line to be drawn which will make some of them legal wives and others "grass widows." The convention of the church made no pro­ vision for this. Undoubtedly there must be many seperations if the spirit of the Woodruff manifesto is to be observed. But this can scarcely be effected without branding hundreds of women and mothers with the stamp of shame. It is perhaps the clearest commentary upon the in­ famous character of Mormonism that such an issue should rise. I®" Sitting Bull has become cramped in his position of inactivity and again has an itching for the war path. He is very busy stirring up his braves. The millennium craze is upon them, and Cap. tain Huggins is reported as saying: "This millennium craze is not a new phase of the Indian question. Thelndians feel their inability to cope with the white man without -suppernatural assistance, and their desire to receive such aid has long Bince developed into the belief that it will come. Sitting Bull is quoted as saying that aid will be received when the grass grows, and that the whites will be wiped from the face of the earth, leaving the red man once more in possession ol the country. I have known of this doc- trin being preached for at least ten year. An Indian known as Smoholla has been preaching a millennium for years, and holding secret meetings and ceremonies which had their origin in this belief. In the Crow Agency a local disturbance was caused about a year ago by this Messiah excitement, and two or threa Indians were killed." I^The New York Herald says: How long will McKinley prices last? The people have raised their voices in thunder tones for cheaper food." Corn two bushels for a quarter and wheat 50 cents would about suit the Herald. But how- will the farmer like it? Another Demo­ cratic organ remarks: "The farmers were not fooled this time." Wait a bit and see. The real fact is that the cry of "high prices on account of the McKinley bill is false. A dollar per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for corn pays the American fanner for his labor. When the farmer is not paid living prices, every business suffers. The reported high pri­ ces for dry goods and the necessaries of life were false and made for electioneering purposes and for temporary advantage. Democratic newspapers and orators everywhere encouraged unscrupulous and greedy dealers to advance prices. Many of them did, while others exhorted cus­ tomers to "buy before the advance." It was by such methods worked all along the line that falsehood took the place of fact. Sv tSf The Republican party will not re­ cede from its position on the tariff be­ cause of the election on the 4th. It w ill be none the less strong for protection, nor will it lose faith in the McKinley bill. Yet this same bill is largely responsible for the disaster. Congress was kept in session and the ̂ passage of the bill de­ layed until the eve of election. There was neither time for Republican Con­ gressmen to explain the bill nor for the people to fully understand it. Prices of all staples had been advancing for some months and the shrewd but unscrupulous Democracy immediately took up the hue and cry that this bill, which in most in­ stances decreased, rather than increased duties, was responsible. A more foolish claim was never set up, yet it bad its effect. This, with the culmination of ob­ jections to the President and Congress­ men, always greatest midway between Presidential elections, was enough to beat the party. Two years from now it will be different. The tariff bill will be understood and will vindicate itself; the party will be in fighting trim, there will be few stay-at-homes, and victory will be snatched from the jaws of defeat. There good come from this very catastro- &'ie.--Courier. (S^Col. Robert G. Ingersol said in his speech at Toledo, Ohio last week: You know the Republican party believes in the gospel of education everywhere. [Applause] You know if the school- houses are sustained in the 1'nited States it has got to be done by the Republican Party. I vet that party stop, and the free school would die in the United States. [Applause] You take away all the school- houses you never would beat the Demo- oratic party. Never! [Laughter and Applause.] And do you know; there is the trouble about it. You have to do something to make a Republican. You just let a fel­ low alone, he is a Democrat--kind of. [Laughter.] You know wheat and corn; you have to plow the ground, and you have to hoe it, and take care of it, and work about it every minute, nearly: and on the other hand, weeds grow right in the middle of the road, with the horses trotting up and down on theru. Any­ thing in this world that is good, has to be cultivated. Anything that is of no account will grow in spite of the devil, anyway. [Laughter] And that is the reason we have to work to keep the Re­ publican party up. We have to raise them: do something with them: cultivate them. Blaine has contended that a large measure ot free trade has been granted to Brazil and Spanish America without securing adequate compensation, and he is satisfied that by reciprocity a means of securing a return is opened. There is no man who is in a better position to judge candidly of this than the Secretary of State. The time and conditions are most favorable to a trial of this idea. The following by an exchange shows some of the advantages to be derived from this policy: \ enezuela is a country with which reci­ procity ought easily to be arranged That country is hostile to England, and predisposed to trade with the United States aud France. It ha« practically enjoyed free trade with the United States, only $8,000 of $10.4-00,000 as Secretary Blaine shows, being subject to duty. In return it has taxed flour over 100 per cent, and put high duties on everything else imported from the United States The operation of the reciprocity amend­ ment will bf» in the direction of the aboli­ tion of the duties on American food products. The same result is likely to follow in the Spanish West Indies, where a strong public sentiment in favor of rec­ iprocity with the United States has al­ ready been developed. Mexico is another sugar-raising country which has every­ thing to train from improved commer­ cial relations with the United States. Ing-eraoll on Deck. For the first timein ten years he makes a political speech, and Toledo gets the benefit. We quote sections of this pow­ erful argument. REGARDING PROTECTION. I want to tell you to-night that no man and no nation ever produced and sold raw material that the man and the nation don't grow poor--every time You let this country sell all its raw ma­ terial; let it be manufactured by Eng land, France, Germany, and the result will be that the American people will b* ignorant and poor. But if the Aruericar people manufacture their raw material themselves, and sell the manufactured article, they will grow rich and intelli gent. And why? We want to make everything in the United Slates that we can make, for the reason that we want to use all the brains that we have got, and we want to develop all the brains we have got, and the more the diversity of industries the greater the development of the American brain. We want a chance for everybody that has got an aptitude, who can do anything, or invent anything, or make anything, and the glory of this United States is that we will raise great men and grand women, the divinest crop in the world--au intelligent people. THE QUE8TION OF PENSIONS. "Ah," but they say, "you are not only ruining the country by this tariff, but you are throwing away all our money in pensions." Well, I never got any pension. I never wanted any pension. But I have of en thought, when I have heard these old skinflints talk about {tensions what the American people would have said to the army on the third day at Gettys­ burg. Would we not have said to those poor soldiers, "Stand firm! Drive these hosts back, and we will pour the treasure of a nation at your feet." [Loud ap­ plause ] "Carrv the flag high. No mat ter how shot and shell destroy aud tear, carry it high, and never one of you while you live, shall want for the luxuries of life!" This is what we would have said to them. What would we h«ve said to Farragut and his men when they passed Forts St. Pljilip and Jackson, and the shot and shell wete going through their vessels? We would have said, "Sail on! Don't waver a hair, and by the gods you shall have al! we have got!" 1 would have put down the last dollar, and so would everyone of you. And then think of getting rich and forgetting all about it! The roar of guns nil out of your ears the enthusiasm out of your blood; no more throb in your heart, and then say "Well, I think we have given them too much." I say no. It is a disgrace to this nation if any man ever dies by the wayside in hunger that ever fought for the honor and glory of the Republic [Applause.] I don't know much about the subject; I don't know bow much *we pay; but I have heard people say we pay too much; 1 don't thiuk we pay enough GMf&H' of All Sizes Co?? * hint I y on Mstmii. £ BEST BJBUEtB VIR1 In the Market, at Bottom Prices.

Here is a board of directors, we will say of the Lake Shore & Michigan South ern--thirteen of them.
