•m WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8d. 1878. r. VAN 8LYKE, Editor. Jj| SSrThe Chicago IfUer^Ocean is hav- Jfgint a good deal to say about the com­ piling Congressman in the Fourth Con- itenal District. Now we would lay to the Inter-Ocean. that in sticking . Jtlttl* nose Into somebody's else dish gilt would be well for tbem te confine ^ttiemielves to the truth, a thing they JpuMM very flir from doing two years iago. The Inter-Ocean and Tribune ' two years ago, for reasons best known to themselves, took up the cause of the Elgin fraud, and by pure misrepresen­ tations and systematic lying, did much -*to injure the cause of right, nnd in a ^measure were responsible for thft dis- J grace that stands to-day against this . District. The people of the Fourth » District are amply able te take care of their own affairs, and ask no help from " ',an outside newspaper whose columns went; never known to contain but one Hide, and that from political tricksters who have not the face to ask it from a -fceepectable home paper. i M ^ , . i, gi.j«T -|,. •|¥ ISTThe Senate Com mltteeW 'Pat - •^^lents report that most of the patents '^were taken out ia New England, and that most of the manufacturing was done there thirty years ago; but that w six great Western States take out 50 per cent more patents than New England, and surpass it hi the value «l«f their manufactured products. They also say that as long ago as 1870 the yearly product of our manufacturing ^establishments was nearly twice the value of all our agricultural products, and the wages of the operatives were greater than the labor earnings •f ail t arm era and farm laborers, in­ cluding their board. The manufactur­ ing product and wages exceed those of agriculture even in the great corn and grain growing States of the West and Nortiiwest, while our exports of 'Industrial products exceed our exports of breadstufts. The abundant curren- .cy issued during the war was the principal agent of this industrial de- •, velopment, but the committee no doubt ascribe It to a protective tariff. The vhainftoo Srtap. London, March 25--O'Leary Is the lion of the hour, aud the press pro­ nounces him the physical wonder of the century* It is estimated that over £100,000 changed hands on the result: One bookmaker loses £18,000, which was won by Smith, O'Leary's backer.-- Another prominent American, well known among the clubs, also won £19.- 000 from the same bookmaker. O'Lea­ ry's winnings amount to £760 and the belt, which is valued at £100. He will have to maintain the trophy against all comers, but U Is the geueral opin­ ion that there is no pedestrian able to win it from him, when Vaughn, of Chester, who Is considered the best long distance walker in this country, failed to do so. O'Leary was confined to his room, fatigued after his weary tramp. Hundreds of visitors called, bnt he refused to see anyone. • His feet were not blistered, neither did his legs softer : hut he was terribly chafed, and suffered from the want of sleep. The reason why he did not walk until 10 o'clock Saturday night was because his backer, Albert Smith, did not want hi in to. Smith, before the contest began, wagered £000 that he would walk 620 miles in the stipu­ lated time, 141 hours. When O'Leary had more than accomplished that feat. Smith, desjre^im to stop, as there was not the least prospect of Vaughu beating. At the time O'Leary stopped, he was in a better condition than when he started, physically, with the exception of the chafing, at least so his medical attendants stated when they examined him to-day. Th« Irish members of Parliament intend to make him a grand presentation and give him a banquet. Albert Smith's winnings are placed at £20,000. Vaughn and Brown, who won the second and third prizes, were completely used up, and are unable to leave their' beds to­ day. On Vaughn's recovery a promi­ nent nobleman will match the latter to walk O'Leary 300 miles for £500 a side |0rMn.. Charles T. Friend, after seventeen yeilitf*# wedded bliss with a husband whotfc life and character seem to have been stained by 110 dark­ er criue than the possession of a wooden leg, eloped from the neighbor* hood of Chicago the other day with a sewing machine agent named H. Clay Harte, leaving behind her a family consisting of four children--three boys and a girl--not to mention the wooden? legged husband, who immediately started to California In pursuit of Ms wife. In the meantime Mrs. Harte Is negotiating for a divorce. Alas, how true It Is--especially In Chicago--that w «' Friend after (Mrs.) Friend departs--: ' ' Who hath not lost n friend? ' | There is no union here of Harte® That hath not here an end!" - ' ISrWe do not think yon shWJM re­ mit. your attentions to the girl simply becautno,her father kicked you out. Go to tho old man and say frankly that If he iepeats the action you should re­ gard it as an insult. It was rather tin- lady like for the young woman to hop upon a chair and shout, "Go in, dad! give Mm a hister! he's been loafing 'round here long enough." Bnt proba­ bly It was an excess of feeling. An oyster stew and two spoons will make It all right again. ' Rheumatism, neuraturia! sprrifrfs and bruses will be relieved by Uncle Saih's Nerve and Bone Liniment, sold by all druggists. E, M. OWEN y>'< -*H15 OLft A*TD RELIABLE- ior*A western journal suggests that •ne of the most prolific sources of dis­ eases Is to be found In the wells in school house yards, from which the children must quench their thirst dur­ ing the hours of school. These wells are sometimes so located as to receive surface drainage, and they are quite often the receptacles of sticks, leave?, old boots, and numerous other articles of deposit which the mischievously Inclined boys may see flt to throw therein. Then, too, they remain unused and stagncnt for a considerable portion of the year, and if they are cleaned out once in two or three years it Is thought to be a most .wonderful Instance of cleanliness. How often do we hear that diptheria or scarlet fever, or both together, are raging fearfully among the children of a certain school district, being almost wholly confined to those attending the one school. In such cases we may be almost certain the cause is not hard to find, and "the truth lies at the bottom of the well."-- We call attention of school directors, teachers and parents to, this matter.-- Look to the school yard wells. Don't poison your children with foul water, then charge their sickness and death to the account of a "mysterious Provi- dence." IQTThe Communist parade them­ selves in every city as the friends, and the only friends,of the laboring man -- Political shysters have access to the ears of those who are dependent lor their daily bread upon the labor .of their hands, and poison their minds with the most reckless mis;atement of facts. Thr July riots in Pennsylvania are being made the subject of legisla­ tive investigation In that State, and the testimony thus far taken confirms tht estimates, made at the time of the riots, of loss sustained by tho people at large. Col. Scott testifies that more than two millions of property belong­ ing to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com­ pany was destroyed by the rioteri, and that a loss of at least five millions was entailed upon all classes, directly and Indirectly. Inasmuch as the labor­ ing man 1s a part of the social system which suffers because of those outrages, he becomes one of the victims; and because of their participation in the crime, those laboring men who aided and abetted the rioters, become the greater sufferers. The most fallacious theory in existence is that advocated by Communists; the theory that any one division of the social body can revolt against the sections without sustaining its proportionate share of Injury.--Post. Belleting, as we do, that strong partisanship has long been a curse In this country, puttiiig many bad men in office, perpetuating outrageous politi­ cal practices, and depriving thousands of their manhood, we heartily rejoice over every Indication that non-par­ tisanship is inoreasing. Every election In the past five years has pointed to the growing independence of voters.-- On all sides, Indeed, there are evidences of the fact that party ties hold men more loosely than they once did--that "machine politics" are not now so po­ tent in controlling voters es formerly-- that the individual Is rriore vigorously asserting himself, and votes more for men apd less for party victory, than political custom has permitted hereto­ fore. It is well for the community at large, that party lines are fading out. They will never be lost sight of entire­ ly, of course; there will be parties In the future, as ia the past; bnt the day Is distant when all men will go for par­ ty right or wrong, as nearly all men used to do. We are learning a better individuality. W« are coming to see more clearly what the ballot mean?-- tiiat it is each man's witness; that it should testify of hi* principle, his pur­ pose, hie character. It can not so tes­ tify if King Caucus controls it, if two men or ten men in a town are al­ lowed to say whom two buudred or ten hundred In a town shall vote for, if un­ fit candidates are foisted upon the peo­ ple, and party exigencies compel their support. The ballot has been tar too long debased to mere party ends.-- When It shall be generally regarded as the 'exponent of manhood, then will it witness eloquently for Honesty and Truth. Then will it command the re­ spect which is now denied it, though its just due. , i>£Al^EIIl Can be found on han<T at his Warehouse, opposite Bishop's Mill, McHenry, with a full line LEADING OF ALL KINDS.
