DAY, JAN. 11, 1893. il VAWSLYKR. Editor. IfiPThe 38 th General Awembly organ­ ised at. Springfield on Wednesday last. Senator John Coppinger, of Madison OOanty was elected President of the Sen- Ate. and Hon. Clayton E. Crafts Speaker nt ttoe House. For the same positions ^ the Republicans nominated Senator H. H. Evans for President of the Senate, and Hon. E. C. Hawley for Speaker of the House, both from Kane county. IW The farewell message of Gov. Fifer, which was presented to the Legislature fj-last Thursday, can be iouhd on the in- %iside pages of this paper. It is one of the ; ablest documents,^and should be read by every voter in the state. It shows that * * under thirty-six years of Republican ad- \ l ministration seventeen millions of debt "; ju ' have been wiped out, fourteen State in- - stitutions have been built, three million f£v-_ •> dollars was paid to Chicago in the fire year, a four million dollar State House ^ , has been erected, extraordinary war ex- ily penww have hw-u met, uuu not a dollar ||* ~ has been lost by dishonesty. Can any v £^ , State show a grander record ? Will the Democratic party, which now has come ?into power, reach this high standard of public efficiency and honesty ? - South »ra A handsome illustrated pamphlet, giv­ ing an account of tlje resources and in* tereata of this unique section has been received at thiaoffloe. The work is issued by Rand & McNally, of Chicago, and con­ tains some fine work in the way of half tone engravings and an excellent map of the section. Anyone who is interested in the land of orarges and olives, and de­ sires a copy of this book can secure one by writeing to the Secretary of the Bureau of Information, Los Angeles, CaL, and inclosing a two.cent postage stamp. The book treats of such subjects as the following: The semi-tropic cli­ mate, methods of irrigation, growing of the orange and lemon, California prunes and olives, the English walnut and the almond, stock raising in California, beet sugar manufacture, etc. It cannot fail to interest all who have ever Tinted Cali­ fornia, or who expect at any tame to journey to that interesting country Sfi#"-' <$$>• - * V > Ifl^One of the first acts of the demo- ^^Eyi vcratic house, pledged to economy, especi- •{p!?*,-. any in the matter of the pension list, is to fix. pass a bill increasing the Mexican war Ip^ pensions from f 8 to |12 per month. The |»; Mexican war penison bill is the result of §.*vJ. a bargain by which only the ex-conted- || 's erates profit. When the service pension |b; j bill was before congress, the southern democrats, who controlled the house, 'agreed that if the senate would allow a J, *s wwrW nonmnn +c acrvivors of the Mc: iff , _ can war they would allow a service pen- |<0j siou bill to pass for the benefit V;'-. of the soldiers of the war of the Union. ||/' Both houses passed the bills, and then President Cleveland signed the Mexican ^ bill, but vetoed the bill for the Union fef'.' soldi are. A great majority of the eol- fp,,7 diers of the Mexican war were from the >f" • south, and were also in the confederate y f ' ,,, service. The real object of the bill was to give these ex-confederates a pension, ?•' , ' * the Mexican business being only a cover. This pension is now increased, adding one million dollars to the pension roll. The bill was also passed by the senate at vf>" -• the last session, so republicans as well as ') democrats are responsible for it. Is it *!%• the result of another bargain to bring • up the service pension bill again? President Harrison will have good reason for vetoing the bill. The bargain is all one-sided. Kb m m es lW°In order to keep up the revenue and reduce the tariff, the democratic party proposes to increase the internal revenue taxes on whiskey, already 90 cents per gallon. On the face of it any tax on this article appears a righteous one, but when the case is understood it is not much of a temperance measure after all. The whiskey riDg have always upheld the tax, and desired it. It gives them a monopoly of the business by preventing small capital from engaging in it; it gives them the protection of the government and makes it a party to their buisne«8, carrying their stock for them in bonded warehouse at its own expense and insuring them from loss. The whiskey trust is not likely to object to Any increase of taxation. They do not fc>ay it in the end and they get large benefit from it. It. makes them the more powerful to defeat temperance legislation in the states, and enriches them so that they may corrupt. It makes for them a compact organization, the most power­ ful in the country to-day. The internal revenue taxes were war taxes pure and simple, and most of them were abolished after the war was over. They have always been considered emergency taxes, not in accord with the American system, and to be leveled only in cases of emerg­ ency. Thomas Jefferson, whom the demo­ cratic party assumes to follow, called them "infernal taxes," and he was prob­ ably right about it. M^The Blue Book printed at the government office at Washington records 180,000 offices, and sho ws an aggregate salary list of 190,000,000, which is only an average of $500 for each office. As there are said to be 333 aspirants for each place, the average office-seeker has one chance in 333 of getting a piace that will pay him $500 a year. That is not a very brilliant prospect, and the wise mau will devote himself to some other pursuit. l9~Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, of Mas­ sachusetts, the noted lawyer, soldier and statesman, died suddenly at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday, this morning at his New Jersey avenue residence in Washington, where has been staying for some time. His death created great surprise, as it was not known that he had been ailing, at least not more than any man would be who had reached Butler's age. His death is attributed to heart failure, but seems to be more the result of eld age, as his many years have been unusually active ones. Quail la Cheap Thia Season. On of the most astonishing things just now is the cheapness of quail in all the restaurants around the city. 1 be­ lieve the birds are remarkably plenty this year, for the market is certainly drugged with them. 1 It is amusing to see rjien who have all their lives looked upon quail as rather an expensive luxury pick up a bill of fare from a restaurant table and read, Roast quail, thirty-five cents." They can scarcely believe their eyes. The majority of them "just know for a cer­ tainty" that the dish is not what it pre- tends to be. It can't be possible they tell you. The birds must be robins or something like that. All the same they eat them and enjoy the meal, for the birds are quail, and good ones too.--New York Herald. • Why He Failed. A qnewr story is told of a Clermont county merchant a few weeks ago. While in this city he was attracted by the watches displayed in a pawnshop window and stepped inside to examine them. Two or three persons from his village happened to pa^s and saw him. They went home and gossiped about the matter. A report was spread that he was hard up and had been seen pawning his watch in Cincinnati. The report in­ jured his business and his creditors also began to press him. In a short time he Was compelled to make an assignment. --Cincinnati Times-Star. • Coroner's Expand. The statement of the expenses of Dr. Thomas Masson, candidate for coroner on the Democratic ticket, as filed with the county clerk under the statute, is as follows: My whole election expenses consist of this sheet of pa{«r and envelope and two cent stamp and the time taken to 'write you and go before the proper per­ son to be sworn.--Watertown (N. Y.) Tiroes. Fighting » Shark. • Boche Harbor (Wash.) young wom­ an recently had quite an experience with a large shark, which undertook to get a salmon from her hook while she was hauling her line in. By persistent efforts with an oar she succeeded in getting the best of him, but in diving he slashed the boat with his tail, nearly upsetting it.--Philadelphia Ledger. x . »i'. *V- WThe political complexion of the United States senate is not yet decided Neither party has conceded any of the doubtful states. The senate now con­ sists of 47 Republicans, 39 Democrats and two Populists. It is certain that the Democrats have gained the legisla­ tures of two states, New York and Wis­ consin. This would make the next sen­ ate stand, Republicans 45, Democrats 41 Populists 2, giving the Republicans a majority over all of two. The Republi­ cans claim that this is the correct stand­ ing. The Democrats still insist that they have carried California, but so little has been published about the situation in that state that it is impossible to judge whether their claim has much basis or not. If they elect the senator from California they will have 42, the Republi­ cans 44 and PopuliBte 2. By a combina­ tion with the two Populists they will be able to tie *>be senate and control its leg­ islation by means of the casting vote of the Vice President. The fusion states in dispute are Montana, Wyoming, Kansas Nebraska and North Dakota. In Ne­ braska and North Dakota the opposition appears to have nearly abandoned the fight. It is probable Republicans will be elected from these states. The hopes of the Democrats center on Kansas, Wyom­ ing and Montana. The contest is a local matter in those states, the Republicans in those states being practically interested only in a fair count and honest precedure. The Re­ publican party at large is only interest­ ed in that if revolutionary methods are tuied, the Democratic party shall be fully responsible for them, and suffer the con­ sequences before the people; that if the Democrats accomplish a majority by fraud they should be compelled to show it so openly that they cannot deceive the • "fey.
