' Jerry McNeills und John Wittie, boys, and supposed victims of 5-cent library literature, turned bandits and held up and robbed their former employer, Will­ iam Hicks, aged about 60 years, on the highway, while the old man was on his way home from Areola. The two high­ waymen, who were young farm hands, are said to have armed themselves with large knives and revolvers and when the old man came along the lonely road they sprang out of the darkness and forced him to yield up his money and valuables, amounting to more than $100. After robbing the aged man the bandits went to the barn of S. S. Chaism, another farmer, and, stealing twi» valuable horses, made their escape. Samuel Absher, proprietor of the Silver Moon restaurant, was shot and killed in a saloon fight at Murphysboro by John Morgan. Absher had been quarreling with Thomas Welch, superintendent of mail-carriers. Welch ran into the White Swan saloon, followed by Absher, who, in trying to reach him, struck Morgan, who was standing at the bar. Bystand­ ers say Absher was in the act of hitting Morgan with a stool when the latter drew his revolver and fired, the ball striking Absher in the right breast. Absher walked out of the saloon and into his restaurant next door, where he fell to the floor and expired. The coro­ ner's jury exc-jerated Morgan. Two riots occurred at Belleville on ac­ count of the strike of the conductors and motormen of the three eleetrfS lines. John Hanson, an armed guard, and Guy Trendley, a conductor, were attacked by a crowd aud beaten. Hanson and Trend- ley fired on their assailants, wounding Benjamin Taylor. The mob pursued the men into the police station, threatening to lynch them. The police interfered and drove the crowd away. Later the rioters surrounded another car in the public square and dragged the motorman ofE. The latter drew a pistol, but was dis­ armed and arrested. Another street rail­ way employe was saved from mugh usage by the interference of Lawyer R. WT. Ropiequet. All the lines were tied up. Gust av Baden and Rudolph Mehrmann, charged with stealing horses, were lodged in the county jail at Waukegan after twice being saved from lynching. The two men stole a team from Mrs. Amelia Ivlipp and were captured with it at Irv­ ing Park. - They acknowledged the theft and were turned over to Constable Will­ iam Spunner and his sou to be taken to the scene of the theft. On arriving at Barrington a crowd of fifty men was found at the station. They had ropes and angrily, advanced to take the pris­ oners from the officers.

There was a certain farmer wbo m the days of Clevelandism voted for tar­ iff reform. Hie fancy had been caught by the glowing pictures of marvelous prosperity which the free, traders and the tariff reformers had painted to de­ scribe the glorious days when under free trade we would have possesion of the markets of tbe world. Some lit­ tle time after the triumph of the advo­ cates of tariff reform In 1802, when the country, instead of enjoying tbe over­ flowing prosperity predicted, was suf­ fering from the hard times brought on by the downfall of tbe protectivie sys­ tem, this same farmer took a wagon load of garden truck to the nearest town for sale. The once thrifty town, which hdd formerly been such a good market, was a scene of idleness. The mills in the town were shut down, and many of the houses were vacant and no­ body wanted the farmer's products. He .was obliged to drive home again, tak­ ing his garden truck with him. As he jogged along in disgust, one of the townsmen shouted out to him: "What did you bring your stuff here for? Why didn't you haul your load to the nearest port, hire a boat and ship It across the ocean V You know you have been howl' ing for a foreign market." What the farmer said in reply Is not on record, but it is not unlikely that the lesson struck home, and that he came to realize that it was money in his pocket and in that of every other far­ mer to have a market for farm prod­ ucts almost at their own doors, and that the prosperity of the wage earner in the towns means the sale of tbe farmer's products and the prosperity of the far­ mer himself. Railway Prosperity, The railways of the country are do/ng an unparalleled business at the present time. Not only are people traveling iu greater numbers than in ordinary times, but there is an equally heavy amount of freight traffic. So much freight is to-be transported that the Railways are finding it difficult to pro­ vide enough cars to meet the demand for them. The situation Is summed up by an Eastern railway official as fol­ lows: "With the enormou» business iu sight it .will be a crime if, for the next six months at least, there Is a single rate cut or an unemployed car east of Chicago. There is sufficient business to keep every road busy." The great amount of business done by the railway companies is a sure Indica­ tion of the great prosperity that pre­ vails In all parts-of the country. It re­ flects good times for all the people. The crops are large, causing unusually heavy shipments of grain and agricul­ tural products, which means increased freight business for the railways, while the great amount of manufacturing and our large exports to foreign countries contribute to a great extent In giving the railways new business. Then the people are traveling more than usual, because they feel that they can afford it. The prosperity of the railways is an infallible test of th<? prosperity of the country. As they have never known a period when their receipts were great­ er, it may be assumed -that the country is enjoying greater prosperity than ever before.--Milwaukee Sentinel. commenced tbe day of McKinley's In­ auguration, and that all promises made by the Republican party bad been ful­ filled. The precise time of the turn to­ ward prosperity was a little earlier than that mentioned by tbe Iowa Sen­ ator. It was when the county of tbe votes cast at the Presidential fclectlott of November 1806, showed that pro­ tection. sound money and everything else geuuiuely American and thorough­ ly safe and.sensible were insured for at Wast fear years to come. The mo­ ment that assurance was made clear by the count of tbe vote prosperity be­ gan to arrive. It came slowly at first, but it has kept coming in grand styl* ever since, and apparently to not yet done coming. t An Object Les«o« for Kentucky. "'Way down in Old Kentucky" they are feeling the difference between keep­ ing the American market for ourselves, In supplying the demands of'th^Ameri- can people with American products, In keeping American money at home and in attracting the gold of other countrlea to the United States--tbe difference be­ tween all that and the giving up freely to foreigners all the advantages of the American market. Mr. George Braden, president of the Globe Fertilizing Com­ pany, of Louisville, recently spoke as follows: "In Kentucky tbe general business conditions are better than they have bean since 1803, and in some respects they are better than they have ever been since I can remember. Manufac­ turers are very busy, and concerns are paying better dividends than they have paid for a long time. In addltiop, a goodly number of new industries bare sprung into existence, and ther$ is, therefore, plenty of work at good' pay for all. Money is easy, and we have felt no stringency whatever." This sort of thing ought to swing Kentucky over permanently to the par­ ty which makes its fundamental prin­ ciple of faith tbe protection of Ameri­ can interests. *Value of High Paid Labor. The improved condition of the work- ingmen is more important to this coun­ try than any amount of foreign trade. Wlieu foreign trade can be obtained only by lengthening the day or lessen­ ing the wages of American labor, we would better get along without it. Higb paid labor is the pride of this country, and any protection which does not pro­ tect that Is not worth having.--Gun- ton's Magazine, November, 1800. An Kr« of Chmp Moner. A good farmer in Wilson Township has tried to loan his surplus money to his neighbors at 5 per cent, straight, but has been unable to do so owing to the present restoration of confidence and the large amount of money among the people.

In regard to the tariff and silver the Democratic party was wrong, and it knows it was wrong. The reason it doesn't admit the fact is because it is not honest.--Kansas City Journal. This is a little harsh. One reason It does not admit its mistake, it is not in condition to admit anything. Its lead­ ers are at sea--on a wide and stormy sea. and in a boat of stone, with oars of lead, the rudder lost, and no friendly port iu sight. You might as well eay a man who has been on a horrible drunk for a long period is not honest, because he has no mind to submit to the dic­ tates of reason.

In an oinion rendered by the Attorney General the law passed by the Legisla- ture in 1872, allowing the appointment as special constables of members of anti- horse thief . associations, is unconstitu­ tional. The opinion applies particularly to the Flint Horse Thief Detective Asso­ ciation of Pike County, which was or­ ganised unnder this law for the purposes of capturing and securing the conviction of horse thieves. The opinion holds that this enactment of the Legislature was illegal because it is in. conflict with sec­ tion 21 of article 6 of the State consti­ tution, which provides that all consta­ bles shall be elected by the people. > In answer to the inquiry, "Can a pe«* son who is not licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois qualify or Berr« as State's Attorney, if elected?" Attor­ ney General Akiu holds that he can. Af­ ter quoting the law on the subject tbe Attorney General concludes as follows: "I am< therefore of the opinion that a person otherwise qualified is eligible to the office of State's Attorney under the constitution of this State, although.,))* has not been admitted as an attorney or counselor at law in accordance with tht law and rules adopted by the Saprem* Court." ,, Through tbe efforts of Senator Cullora the headquarters of. the climate and crop service of Illinois has ^en ordered es­ tablished in this city.
