IS?"As the elections resulted in making the Tnited States senate and the house of representative* solidly and safely Re­ publican, it is evident that the people of the nation want some more of the pros­ perity which the Republican pa'ity ways gives them. I^General Fred Grant in attacking the standing of the gallant Third Illinois regiment has not covered himself all over with glory. In view of the fact that he has not distinguished himself in any position in life except in being born of noted parents, his criticisms will not count for mnch. HADE THE OPPORTUNITY.

"Farragut," said Qoldsboro, '• Dewey will make his mark in the world if heever gets an opportunity." "Ay," answered Farragut, with the pleasant smile so becoming to hit* home­ ly face, "and he will make th^ oppor­ tunity.', And Farragut was a true propbot. An Important Decision. „ An important decision has just been* rendered by the Appellate courtrin a case that went up from Bureau county. It is of special interest to land renters and grain buyers, as it involves the respon­ sibility of the grain dealer in purchasing grain from persons known to be renters. I'he case originated at s^pHirg \"alley where Joseph Reinhart, agraiu dealer, bought corn to the value of "$151.10 from John H. Boffman, of Putnam county, on the farm of Minnie J. Rlanch- ard. Hoffman received the money and failed to pay the rent of the farm. Mrs. Blanchard brought suit against the grain dealer for the total amount of money paid for corn, and the grain dealer must now settle the bill, as in this case no further appeal can be taken. I^FIt was in the west that the greatest Republican gains were made at the recent elections, and this is the feature of the •lections that gives most encouragement to the party tor the next presidential con­ test. With the western states returning to the Republican fold, the party will be invincible in the next campaign.

Loveday, state game warden of Illinois, •tates that he is preparing a bill to tax hunters which will produce an income of §100,000 annually. The bill will be pre­ sented to the next legislature. As the tax to hunters outside of the state is to %e ($10,) quite a little interest is felt by hunters west of the Mississippi. In speak­ ing of the recommendation which he is to lay before the lawmakers Mr. Loveday said: "I will present a bill for the ee- - tablishmont of a state pheasantry where game can be raised. 1 propose a method of taxation for the maintenance of this institotioo. It is to tax every hunter in the state $5 to $10 a year for the privi­ lege of shooting. In this way he coold raise $100,000 a year." IVBy the change that will be ef fectedinthe membership of the United States senate as the result of the recent elections, that body will remain under control of the Republican party and of a sound money majority for the next eight years at least, and will stand as a bar­ rier against the assaults of the silverites and inflationists upon the credit of the government and upon the stabatity of business investments. Consequently, there are eight years of security and prosperity ahead for the business in­ terests of this country, and they un­ doubtedly will take advantage of this , gratifying and encouraging fact and ex- tend the sphere of their operations in a f manner that will redound to the pros | perity of every community in the land. HVPatrick O'Mars, a private in th Ninth regulars, went to the colonel of hie regiment and asked for a two weeks' leave oi absence, says an exchange. Th« colonel was a severe disciplinarian, who did not believe in extending too man? privileges to his men, and did not hes it ate in using a subterfuge in evading thf granting of one. "Well," said the colonel, "what do you want a two weiks' furlough for?" Patrick answered: "Me woif is very sick and the children are not well, and i> ye didn't mind, she would like to have me home for a few weeks to givjher a bit of assistance." The colonel eyed him for a few minuti s and said: "Patrick, I might grant your request, but I got a letter from your wi'e this morning saying that she didn't want you home; that you were a nuis- aice and raised the devil whenever you were there. She hope** 1 won't let you have any more furloughs." "That settles it. I suppose I can't get the furlough, then?" said Pat. "No, I'm afraid not, Patrick, li wouldn't be well for me to da so under the circumstancjs." It was Patrick's turn now t' eye tb< colonel, as he started for the door. Stop­ ping suddenly, he said: "Colonel, can 1 say something to yez?" "Certainly, Patrick; what is it?" "You won't get mad, colonel, if I saj it?" "Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?" I want to say there are two splendid liars in this room, and I'm one of them, I was never married in me loife."
