Below we jflve the opinions of a few leading men of the Fourth District 011 . the si tuation: From Aurora. THK HON. V. L. BARTl.BTT. Chairman Senatorial District Com­ mittee: "Think of it? I don't want to hlnk of it. It is an outrage. The 'resident undoubtedly thinks lie ha« 'idoue some big slashing with a brick. t| threatening Senators as he did. he tas showu himself worse than Hayes. If a man in his position wants to break ^ • >^pa party' h# lias a grand opportunity * to do it. "Four year* from now 1 had rather lie in Coukling*s boots than Garfield's." L. A. CONSTANTIN E. *<Htor ot the Evening Post', "It is an effort of the monopolists to kill Conk- ling off. Oonldisin it. and it will yet l»e shown that Blaine i6 there too. ConkTing is an honest, man-- has never .been charged with any jobs or steals sfnee he has beeu in office, eveu by his worst enemies. The monopolists ot rite'state are all against him, because they etmnot use him." DR. GEORGE W. QX'EREATJ. Manager Silver Plate Co: "The whole- lb»ng is a piece of foolishness. When Garfield promised to consult, these Senators in regard to the New Vork appointments lie should have done as he agreed. I tiiinK Garfield jK>ne«ily intended to harmonize the ilfffereut etemeute Of the party, and I Relieve that Jim Blaine is at the bottom of this trouble. As a States­ man, Cenkllug is way above any man j who a» ever lived in this country. He stands with Bismarck and Gladstone, Hii political'campaign in New York *•' and the West was the most brilliant in ' history, and bnt for his effoits Hancock would have been in Garfield's place. No doubt Conkling is imperious, but be is honest, loyal, asd brave. Perhaps lie ought not tohavo resigned, but he ought to be re-eleeted. 1 wish things could be so shaped as to make him our next candidate for the Presidency." TBS HON. EUGENE CANHKLD, EX-STATE SENATOR ^ *"f most confess that my syinpattiies pH+re with Conkling in this matter, but | ^*lie resigned simply, for the purpose a re-election he has made a mistake. f, however, he resigned to give place lieo some ether man who will be more sympathy with a certain class of |||$ntoen In his State, he shows an unselfish ?»!devotion to prineiple which ought to raise hitu iu the estiinaiiou of every ||| Republican in the country. It is an nu­ ll fortunate thing and will undoubtedly & defeat Garfield for a second term. MI air surprised at/ the position Charles B. Far well' takes 011 this 'm* It is not easy to say why the country w*s two years ago in the depths of financial depression; why stocks of all Kindt w*re< down to a price so low that It sremed as if they cmld scarcely be sold at any price; why produce of all variet ies were dull of*afe; why tlie world seemed over­ stocked with every kind of manufac­ tured goods; why there seemed to be a surplus even of humanity Itself, and why there was no work for the toiling millions, and the land was. full of trariip*. But so it was. And now'it is almost as difficult to explain why we have gone to the other extreme; why we have reached the height of finan­ cial prosperity; why stocks have doub­ led in value, and risen so high as to make the fortunes of all heavy stock­ holders; why produce Is up to high prices; why nearly erery variety of goods is in such demand that it is hard to supply them; why labor is bringing the highest rates, and why the toiling millions are masters of* the situation, and are striking for higher wages. There seems to be no sufficient cause for it, but so it Is, The gold of Europe Is .pouring Into our country in such quantities as to cause all European nations to look on with alarm. Over fifteen millions of stiecia was received in New York in April alone, and twenty-eight, millions since'January, which is nine times as much as was received 5n the correspond­ ing months of 1SS0. This is due to the excess of exports over imports, and tlie surprising thing about it is that the imports of European merchandise continue to decrease. We imported ten million dollars less of European goods in April 1881, than in April, 1880. This promises still larger imports ot specie in the near future; but it is not easy to see whence* the specie is to come. It is this which causes the bank­ ers of London, Paris and Frankfort to look 011 with alarm: and wonder from whence the specie is to come, and the bankers of America to wonder what chilli be the outcome of this plethora of money in this favored land.--Ax.

Tlie trains of tlie Galena and Iowa Divisions have ail along been ruimhtg to and from the atw depot, even when it was in the oouree of construction. The trains of tlie Wisconsin Division will continue to use the old depot at the west end of Kinsie Street Bridge, a week or two linger, *fter which they will also •*#me to the new depot. A description of this new and magnificent depot has heretofore been given. Next to the •icw West Side Union Depot, it is the Attest and most commodious in the Western country. The main building fronting Wells Street is a tine speci­ men of architecture and highly ornate, with a high tower in the centre and smaller ones at the corner?. The sheds fefhek of the buildings badly correspond with the fMirroundings and some disap­ pointment Is felt on account of their lack of ornamentation, still they are fppmodfons and convenient, and ah- #jl*r ail pur pose eTribmte. Illsy RINCWOOD Editor Plaindealek:--MR. C. M. l'rickett, of this place, started last week to take up a summer job of sur­ veying western iands. He goes first to Minneapolis and thence to Yankton, where he will meet the Surveyor Gen­ era] and after drawing up a contract of the work will go on to Leadville to begin. Miss Killey, of Richmond, has organ­ ized a class in music here and good work is expected as she is well and fa­ vorably known as a sticccssful instruc­ tor. . A liberal share of patronage should be given her. Titus by encour­ aging able teachers might tlie musical talents of the young be developed, and in the future scholars fn this place will range witn those of other towns In this part of the county. Miss Sarah Thompson, who taught i the Primary Department of our School Inst Winter, is no^ teaching the scliooi North of here .known as the Lawson district. The fact that she taught the same school before speaks well (or Sarah. Great bargains in Clothing at J. W. 'Jristy's.

Those who may be in need of a good job of house painting should notice work done by Ben Rainthorp. It is well known by farmers that wind mills out houses, barns and dwelling housps should be well painted or they soon become weather beaten and decayed, and while having a job done it pays to have it well done.
