1894. AY. JAN. 3 ic<i!t>r A^Alir AT THB HXLK fills wrnk we again take «ditorial cbair and become editor and proprietor of the McHenry Plaih- ubal̂ r. We little thought when we wrote our Valedictory, something over - four months ago, that we should so soon be compelled to pat on the harness again, bat this is a world of changes and 7 It would seem that the improbable is the y imoBt certain to occur. | As to the causes that have led tp this " sudden change we do not deem It neces­ sary to discuss them here at this time, and perhaps may not do so hereafter except in self-defense, but if occasion de­ mands it we shall handle thesubjectwith- * dot fear or favor and put forth facts in - to plain a manner "that be who runs may read." While the duty was an un­ pleasant one it was a duty which we Owed to onrself and family and one which we could not shrink from even if - we had wished to do so. * As to the future coarse of the Plaj*- MRAXiEB it is unnecessary for ns to speak. We are now here to stay and we think onr course in the past eighteen years is a sufficient guarantee of what we can and will do in the future. The paper is en­ larged this week to its former size, and " V. ^ in the future as in the past it will be onr constant aim to make improvements in - both its editorial department and in its mechanical appearance. If hard work will do it we propose to bring the Plaindealbk buck to its former position :.among the weekly Republican papers in , Hie State. The extra work of the enlargement and T other difficulties nnder which we have labored the past week has made it im possible to get out on time thiB week, but hereafter we propose to get the f:. paper out promptly on tipae, Wednesday f*' forenoon. * In closing we wish to say to all our ̂old patrons who have discontinued their paper to look the sample copy, which we ' shall send them, over carefully and if in 't their judgment we can please them send § in their names, and if we fail in making good onr promise we assure yon it will % to a failure of head and not of heart. Respectfully, J. Van StiTKB. The G-raat Culmination. tiew York Sun: Under McKiuley's sched­ ules justice, protectionist if you like, was dispensed with an im part ialj.li and. In respect to the industries of foreign coun­ tries, the industries of the country were placed on a level with »»»ch other. The tariff,--even the uue6up;; iitioiuil robber tariff, covered the entire Held equally. Leaving out its failure- as a constitu­ tional measure for revenue, the test for common fairness shows the Wilson bill an outrageous piece of tariff jugglery, devised for favoritism and injustice. For instance, rigut ou top, labeled with the card of executive approval, is a free list including the great staples of coal, iron and wool. Why is the man engaged in the industry of wool-growing treated differently from the man engaged in the industry of wool-weaving? Why is one protected and the other not pro­ tected? The reason is that Mr. Wilson and President Cleveland have braieniy determined to favor certain Interests at the expense of others. The name of MVKinley appears once in the platform of the last National Demo­ cratic convention. If that convention should reassemble to-morrow McKinley would have to be crossed off in the ter­ rible denunciation where it occurs, and the declaration would be made to read thus: '• We denounce the Wilson bill as the culminatingntrocitjofchiss legislation." Protection for some and not for others is the Wilson-Cleveland principle. It.is defended with much mouthing 'about fairness and justice and honor and ana- protection, bat it is humbug to .the end. It is the culminating atrocity of class legislation. pfr • f - • * i• A Hew Yntr'c Message in * Bottle. Delivered to and published exclusively by toe New York Sun: This morning an smpty hot tie floated ashore just below Alexandria. In the neck was a fragment of writing paper apon which was inscrib­ ed in ^ small cramped hand the following resolutions, tor parts of resolution^: "3. I will never play poker again with Gresham in the game. "4. I will give f1,000 to Paramount Blount's Senatorial campaign fund in accordance with the Fitihugh Lee pre­ cedent; bat I will not--- "5. I will run my administration this year without any reference to Congress. It doesn't seem to get on to my curves-- "6 I will solemnly reconsecrate " The rest is torn off with the exception of a few words which are absolutely illegible. M*y be Work in Lake County. . According to the Waukegan Register there is quite a demand for farm hands for the winter, and any man who is able can get a job in the country at $ 10 a mouth and board. One man who applied to the relief society for work was sent* to see a farmer, but soon came back. • .>•' - Didn't you get the $ace?" ho was asked. . "Oh, we couldn't agree oo, teyma," said the applicant. , 2 ! ; , j/*4 H o w w a s t h a t t * * * . ^ ' | f " 5 ' Well, he only wanted to give me $16 a month.

Members of congress, variously estimated »t from forty to fifty, representing some - of the great manufacturing and indus | trial centres 9! the country are conation I tiously opposed to the Wilson bill Their constituents, says the New York ; ' Recorder, are pouring in on them peti j Dons, letters, remonstrances, against the measure in whole or part, and en- \ treating them to vote against it. The f warning is given that if the bill becomes ' a law in its present form it will destroy v. hundreds of millions of invested capital, Up. root many branches of industry, (/i. .Deduce wages and entail misery upon a V-, great army of workingmen and working- Women. These Democratic congressmen have come to the parting of the ways j*. m their public career. Their constituents tell them that the Chicago platform is a '•* fraud, and that the "mandate" is re- .. called. They notify them that, if they •U "vote for the Wilson bill without modi- tying it on precisely defined lines, they £ , will be held responsible for the disasters that are certain to follow. These con- Tfv- JPres8m®n cannot p'ead ignorance when ^ 7 they face their constituents next No- is / member. They have been told of what -y-. -• • # Will happen, and they have been warned jpf, what to expect if they vote for this in- ^ustry-wrecking bill. 'While in New York State a few weeks since a friend told us the following anecdote which illustrates exactly the prrsent uncomfortable position of many of onr democratic friends under " Tariff Reform"In the early days of Scho­ harie county, there dwelt in the Char­ lotte valley, in a capacious log house, a Mr. Scherrnerhorn and hie wife, with a numerous family of mischievous boys. One evening when the "old folks" were away for a neighborly call, leaving the youngsters to their own devices, "Bill" proposed that they have some fun with the crickets* great numbers which lurked about the ckinks and crannies of the fire-place and chimney; the plan being to blow them up. Taking down the im­ mense old powder horn, Bill laid a couple of trains across the wide stone hearth, crumbs of bread and bits of maple ^ugar were scattered between for bait, and a live coal carefully placed so that at the proper time, a few grains of powder ap­ plied would ignite the whole and blow the crickets "sky high." • Then the boys waited. Pretty soon the crickets found the bait, and when a good number had core* out Bill cautiously poised the old powder born oyer the coal, and with his finger over the tip allowed a thin stream to fall, when boom! bang! an explosion occurred that made sad havoc and scat­ tered the astonished boys as well as the crickets, to all part# of the big room One chap landed on the half woven web' of home spun in the hand loom standing in a far away corner, and with singed hair, and rubbing his dust filled eyes, he spluttered out, " Why Bill, you gol darn fool, we didn't s'pose you was going to blow all of us up." The train of " Tariff Reform" was carefully laid and the election of '92 seemed to promise utter destruction to the Republicans, (pro tection crickets) but there has been an explosion, and many democrats over idle looms and other industries are sadly saying, "Why Bill (Wilson) you gol darn fool, we didn't s'pose you was going to blow all of us up." : NOTICE TO THE TIUDE.

James, once speaker of the lower house of the State Legislature, died suddenly at his home in Highland Park, on Sunday, Dec. 81. The Inter Ocean, in speaking of his death, says: "The deceased has long bf en a resident of this state, coming here soon after the , civil war. During the war of the rebell- I ion h« served with distinction in the Third Rhode Island Cavalry, the regi- J^ilMpkofirbich Col. Geo. R. Davis was , Major. As a Captain in the regiment he ]<;. iNUrticipated with it conspicuously and h gpMantly in all the campaigns during the Own. N. P. Banks commanded the Jtapvtmsnt of the Gulf. He took part W itw ilMated Red River expedition, and 'for particularly conspicuous courage during this period of disaster to the 1 army Captain James was breveted . His funeral was held Tuesday. 9" Late advices from Mexico indicate that the present revolutionary move­ ment in the northern portion of that re- republic is an outgrowth of the trouble about a year ago between the govern­ ment and the Pueblo Indians. Thelalter refused to pay taxes, and came in conflict with the authorities On some re'igioue question; Government troops were sent to coerce them. There was some hard fighting which finally resulted in the defeat of the Indian villagers with heavy loss. Now the survivors and their friends have rallied, and with politicians hostile to the government as leaders, have suc­ ceeded in stirring up a Beri ous insur rection. LAD m I^TThe Hawaiian discussion In the House came very near precipitating a free fight just before the Holidays. Bou- telle, declared that the prerogatives of Congress had been invaded by the policy of the administration, and declared that policy inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution and the traditions of the party. He did'nt care whether that policy came from a Republican President or a Democratic \ usurper. Then the racket commenced. (6?" The New York Sun is Democratic, butit neverthe'ess tells some very pointed ^truths. It says in speaking of the Dem­ ocratic jollification on New Year's Day, when the new officials take, their places: "We violate no confidence in sayiug that New York city is almost the only place on the map in which Democrats will now be succeeded by Democrats as one of tbe results of the November election.', IS^The jury in the Prendergast case promptly returned a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at death. This was a just and righteous verdict. It is high time these murderous cranks should be given to understand that this insanity dodge wont work, and that the penalty for murder is death.
