' *L <&' M f a " - *-M l®" In its agony rtf soul the Louisville t ourier-Journal says: ; ' No party was ever placed in a more humiliating position than that visited ®pon the Democratic party yesterday in ihe lower house of congress. One thing •lone is certain; those who have betray­ ed it will pay dearly for their treason. jOne short year ago all the trumps were in our hands. Now we do not, as Hop Price, of blessed memory, used to say, "lioid a prominent card." HEU SKjUWfc Upon which branch of Congress does the odium of "perfidy and dishonor" now rest?" The boose passed a tariff bill. It wae not a Democratic measure, according to officially proclaimed Democratic dorstrine but it embodied a vicious assault on the policy of protection, and to that extent showed some ear-marks of Democracy. At all events it was sent, oat as the beet possible product of Democratic states­ manship in the house. This bill was amended by the senate. Thechanges were so sweeping and radical that the house declared it never would accept them. Principles were violated, "perfidy and dishonor" were displayed in some of the revised schedules, as stated by Mr. Cleveland, and the amended meas­ ure as a whole was so obnoxious, offensive and glaringly false to the Dem­ ocratic faith that concurrence was pro­ nounced impossible. Well, the house has concurred. assented to the provisions which it con­ demned explicitly and unsparingly. Tt has surrendered to every contention of the senate. It has passed the bill with­ out changing a figure or a line or a let­ ter inserted by the upper body of con­ gress. But this abject surrender, this confession of cowardice, this sudden Bub- mission to the dictates of infamy was not enough. The house has proclaimed to the world its dishonesty in three ways: I^rsfc--It was dishonest and disloyal to concur in the senate amendments. .. Second--The vote of concurrence was a lie. because it was immediately followed by the passage of separate measures cov­ ering the important points at issue. Third--The passage of these separate measures was a flagrant and clumsy piece of dishonesty, because there is no expectation anywhere that the senate will also pass them. This action of the house, ^intended to advertise its own fidelity to principle, is a bluff and a fraud and a transparent pretense. So, whatever reproach the senate may have invited 'upon it«elf, however far from Democracy it has departed, what­ ever motives of improper or corrupt -Tiiivacter may have controlled its action that body has not Bunk so low as the house. The very severity of Mr. Cleve­ land's denunciation of the senate bill em­ phasizes the disgraceful fall Of the house. It has concurred in an infamy. It has proclaimed that the concurrence was a sham. It has endeavored to square it­ self by exacting measures that it knows cannot become laws. Thus the odium of "perfidy and dis­ honor" must now and henceforth rest up­ on the house, for the Democratic major­ ity of that body is convicted by its own acts of disloyalty to principle, hypocrisy and S'.ii)dli'g. =========--• V ?ME REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

Bates is candidate for the office of state super­ intendent of schools. She had an op- ;-?||ponent in the person of Hon. J. H. Divine. «|She tried to prevail upon Mr. Divine to . {V ,* pull out of the race. This he refused. .After further negotiation, it is said, he to pnl1 off the track providing ' y ' would, if elected state superintendent him her deputy and marry him in ^ bargain. After some deliberation . iiBheagreed to do this, providing he would f tump the state for her. This was also v,; * jagreed to. As he is a powerful speaker |iT-- a 'Qn<* and repartee, Miss I Bates i« conceded to have made one of ' the shrewdest political deals yet known. X Circumstances and Cases. The saying that circumstances1 cases never had a more striking demon­ stration than that afforded by the treat­ ment of the treasury balance by the Democrats since that party came into power. Just prior to the inauguration of Cleveland the charge was freely made that the treasury was bankrupt, and that the nation could not meet its obli­ gations. At that time the gold reserve of $100,000,000 was intact and there was a large amount of free gold besides. The currency balance was also large, and there was ample funds to meet all de­ mands. Nevertheless the charge referred to was repeated by every Democratic journal and on the floor of congress. At the present time the gold balance in the treasury has dropped to $52,000,000 nearly fifty millions below the legal re­ serve, and -the total currency available to meet current demands is only about; $55,000,000, which if used to restore the gold reserve, would leavr J orbing for the expenses of the government. Yet the assurance goes out from Wash­ ington that the treasury is in good con­ dition, and that it is able to meet all obli­ gations. If the treasury was bankrupt with twice as much money in its vaults as it has now, what is it at the present time? &miwr»» VTe ta£f{ the following account of the Teachers' Institute from • ttf» Richmond Gazette of last week: t . The MeHcnry County teachers' Insti­ tute for 1894 was held in the high school building at Woodstock. It opened on Monday, Aug. 13, with about 100 teach­ ers in attendance. Prof. Hirsh, Supt. of Sterling schools; Snpt. Hall of Wau- kegan, the author of Hall's arithmetic; Miss Lottie E. Jones of Danville;'Prof Groves of Harvard; and Prof. Collins of Richmond, were instructors. These formed a very strong teaching force and Supt. Wire has gained great credit for securing their services. The high water mark of attendance was reached on Thursday when 235 teachers responded to roll call. McHenry county thus stands in the front rank. About three-fourths of the teachers were ladies. These, with their intelligent faces and tasteful gowns gave life and color to the great audience. Only a brief synopsis of the instruction can be given. Prof. Hirsh conducted the readings in the Merchant of Venice. Be fired the teachers with enthusiasm and grandly " held the mirror up to nature." He took walks with his class into the charming fields of English literature, stopping here and there to gather the beautiful flowers of thought. Prof. Hall gave lessons in arithmetic and language. He has written a book or two on arithmetic. His manner in the class room is very anima|pd. He is not obliged to ask, the attention of his class; he Always has it, holding it by what he says and the way he says it. Messrs. Hirsh and Hall are held in high esteem by the teachers of this county. Prof. Collins conducted the musiofal part of the exercises and also gave in­ struction in physiology. His work was well done, Prof. Groves conducted the geography and history sections. He is one of the live, progressive teachers of the state. Such men as Collins and Groves show that we have fine local talent. Miss Jones gave hints on Primary in­ struction. Some of her methods were not thought practical. She succeeded however in exciting much interest by giv­ ing an illustrative exercise with a class of little children. Miss Jones is a ready speaker and always holds the attention of the audience. This year's meeting is one of the best, if not the best, ever held in the county. Prcf. Hirsh called it the best he bad ever attended. Both instructors and teach­ ers were filled with inspiration. The In­ stitute has marked the beginning of a new era in the educational affairs of the county. It further emphasizes the fact that we have a live, thoroughgoing County Superin'r-: dent, and much of the success of the convention is due to his careful work and fine choice of instruct­ ors. The meeting ended at 3 p. m. on Friday, with an educational symposium . «*en part in by instructors and teach­ ers WM. GRIFFITH ,§§1 in ditio#f who hae cigarette There have been r -i maivy ideas ad­ vanced as to the leg;-' method of voting under the Australian system as there are leaves on- the trees. Now comes „the supreme court of the state, nd for the "vf , lime passes judgment rpon the sub­ ject. It says: "When the voter intends to vote the whole ticket he should make cross in the circle, and no more; but if hedesir<vj ; o vote a split ticket he must omit the cross in the circle, and make a cross in front of the name of each candi­ date for whom he desires to vote." This is simple and plain, and no voter ought go astray if he will recollect this solution of the oiatter. || , ISPQen. Smith D. Atkins, editor of the 1 ' V 'Freeport Journal, who was a candidate State Treasurer, but was defeated in ^ ,' convention, gets off the following ringing ^ ^ ' WOrdB: "Hurrab for the Republican !. ticket, and every candidate on the ticket. | The Republican party could not be main- j/-tained without conventions and nomi- ' * candidates, and when candidates ,1. Jt «. ^ are nominated that should end the mat- ter, and all Republicans should stand £ t f together for Republican success. There ^ is no other way. And those who have ^ themselves been candidates before con- ' ventions, and have not been favored •jp with nominations, should be among the p|, most earnest of all in supporting the kc&udidates nominated. Hurrah for the fei'"-*. Republican ticket and every candidate on the ticket, from top to bottom." $3F Democracy is admitted by its party papers to be a disgrace, as exemplified by the present congress. Says the Madi­ son, Wis., Democrat: ^[Principle has been trampled under foot great party has been sold out by its recreant representatives, not for a mess of pottage but for a pot of sugar. No party can long survive such a violation of faith with the people as is the free wool-protected-sugar-coated mongrel which a cowardly congress has just pass­ ed. The introduction of separate bills to correct the outrage that has been perpe­ trated is a sham and a pretense, but it will nevertheless tend to solidify all the special interests threatened by those measures into a solid body to wage an aggressive fight upon Democratic con gressional nominees next fall, and thus make more certain and overwhelming the revolutionizing of a congress whose sessions has been the most disgraceful in our modern political hiBtory, and which has invited the worst disaster to the party that can possibly overtake it. $ % Twenty .eight old soldiem are. at present inmates of the temporary sol­ diers' and sailore' home at Washington, D. C., at the expense of the Department of the Potomac, G. A. R. Thefee men are homeless and without money and art re­ ported to be old and unfit to do anything toward earning a support. The National Tribune, writing on the subject says: These are penniless and destitute old men, most of whom have good claims against the government for pensions back payor bounty,and they have made the ead mistake of coming to Waghiug- ton to push their claims through by personal application. They are in a wretched plight. They cannot get into the regular soldiers' homes, because those are full to overflowing. Their maintenance is a heavy burden upon the slender funds of the Department of the Potomac, whose finances are straighten­ ed by the discharge of an immense num­ ber oi comrades from public empioyataiuk to make room for polWcal hectors. IfiTHere are some facts about Demo­ cratic economy in government expendi­ tures : The appropriations made at this session of congress, even after the esti mates have been cut to the extent of about $30,000,000, which Representative Gannon correctly Bays will have to be provided for in deficiency bills at the next session, are $27,269,858.72 more than was appropriated by the first ses­ sion of the Fifty-first (Billion dollar) congress. A few low grade clerkships at Washington have been abolished, in or­ der to get rid of the Republicans who filled them, while the amount appropriated for increased salaries to high officials largely exceeds the amount saved by the abol­ ished clerkships. The Democratic party is no more honest in its cry^for economy than it is for tariff reform. A Kockford physician Qanette the terr: a young man in :that*«dty, brought hiupdf there by smoking: ' "A young man endowed with an excep­ tional physical strength and mental vigor lies dying In Kockford, a victim of the cigarette habit. To this habit he lias been for years an abject slave. Nearly every breath he drew was freighted with nicotine and vapors from the oils and other compounds used in making the tissue paper employed to enclose the to­ bacco. . The cells of his lungs were ex­ panded by poisonous vapors until they could no longer perform their functions. His blood, instead of being made purer by its contact with tha lungs, went back to the heart fraught with poisons until now every breath he draws is accompan­ ied with pain. Now and then his tor­ tures are so severe that it takes three muscular men to prevent him from using personal violence on himself. No opiutp fiend, no map suffering from delerium tremens, ever saw more hideous visions than does this dying victim of what was once supposed to be an iniMpentpastime, viz , cigarette smoking. M the attend­ ing physician ! would say that the case of the young man is a hopeless ofee." V Cheap Excursions.

It is characteristic of all producers that they believe that they receiye too little for'their product. The farmer is almost always what is termed a "bull" on the market. He generally believes the market will be better by and by, but it has been our observation that he more often loses than makes by holding his crops after they are ready for the market. There is a general do'wnard tendency of everything, bnt with' assured short crops in four of the most productive States one might reasonably expect that the price of farm crops vfould advance. This would doubtless be the case were it not for the prevailing hard times.' But the,, depression that exists everywhere will tend to depress prices. The effect of short crops has already been discounted on the markets to a great extent. In the case of oats, more especially. We are strongly of the opinion that the prices that rule this week and next will be the best obtainable before next April. Thirty eight to forty cents for oats in the face of hard times and the scarcity of profita­ ble employment for horses is very close to the top notch, especially *hen the crop is above the average in the states east of the Mississippi. As to corn and hay one would naturally expect them to advance in view of the drouth, but they are already extremely high. It is diffi­ cult to see how they can advance much in view of the fact that there will be a de­ creased consumption of pork and beef owing to the depression of labor and consequently less work for horses. Idle workmen and idle horses do not consume what they would if everything were mov­ ing and wages plenty. With good crops in Europe there will be no export of farm products at fancy prices. . It seems evident, therefore, that the farmer who gets his oats off at present prices is in luck. If any farmer who •cads this article does not believe it let him clip it out and lay it away and see how lar we miss the guess. ^ I I'he Ideal Woman's Magazine. The literary passions of a literary man are always interesting and they are pe­ culiarly so when an author of such re­ nown as William Dean Howells' literary biography under the title of "My Liter­ ary Passions" appears inrthe September Ladies' Home Journal. Next ih interest to Mr. Howell's contribution comes a page devoted to "The Daughter in the Home," by Mrs. Burton Kingsland, Mrs. Hamilton Mott and the editor of the Journal.

Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler writes most earnestly on the subject of women "Living Beyond Their Strength." The fourth paper of Mrs. Kingeland's series, "A Daughter at Sixteen," is given. A clever short story by "Octave Thanet," entitled "Miss Maria's Fiftieth," is charmingly illustrat­ ed by Alice Barber Stephens and Fran!# R. Stockton brings to a conclusion "Pomona's" most recent travels. Har­ riet Ogden Morison gives a page of ex­ quisite designs for "Artictic Piano Cov­ ers," and J. Harry Adams contributes some bandsotne designs for "The Mantel and the Fireplace." Mrs. Mallon's pages with original designs for "The Bonnets of Autumn" and "This Autumn's Velvet Coats," will delight all women, and mothers everywhere will be pleased with Miss Hooper's valuable suggestions on a "Schoolgirls Outfit." Other articles in this issue are Miss Scovil's "Physical Cul­ ture of Children," and Helen Jay's "The Farmer's Wife and her Boys." Alto gether this September issue, with 'its ar­ tistic cover by W.
