J /*: At the time of going to press vtlie result of the election iu Chicago :v .-.,«ii Tuesday Is in doubt with a potpect tli.-it Carter Harrison Is beaten by a «mall majority. nnyard And It la inc. Secretary Bayard*s letter to the United Stales minister in Central America, Is lightly passed over by thue who severely criticised Blaine when he was Secretary of State, for taking a'most precisely the same posi­ tion iu reference to the South Ameri­ can States, one of which was bent on disponing at other, RKIHP's position. it WHS alleged, would involve the conn- try In war, because he insisted on a preservation of the peace; and yet In none of his letters can be found a more significant threat than that made by Secretary Bayard. He has instructed Minister Hall that this government will not countenance any display of force by ono or more Central American States to coerce others. Atul tills threat has been followed by sending United States naval vessels ItttO Central American waters. liis not alleged that we have any more interests in Cential America than we. had in Sou * li America when Blaine was Secretary of State. In fact. Secretary Bayard says the only, treaties conferring rights or Imposing obliga­ tions which might be constructively or contingently affected by the extinction of an independent sovereignty of con­ tracting states Are those heretofore en­ tered into witli Honduras and Nicara­ gua relative to a ship railway across Honduras and to overland transit and the projected ship canal through Ni­ caragua. But, as the canal contemplat­ ed has not been built, or even commen­ ced, aud the overland transit route has fallen Into disuse, it is not easy to see what right or obligation to interfere is exercisable by this government. Tills is what Mr. Bayard says, Then why does he Intel fere ? Because, he says, the interest and duty of the United states "must he manifested in accord­ ance with thy historical and consist- lit policy of this nation toward the states of the American system." From his letter it appears, then, that the new administration sees no reason to inter­ fere in Central American affairs except on account.of our historical policy. V^e simply wish to call the attention of our Democratic friends to this mat­ ter in order that they may search for a difference between the policy of Gar fluid, which they condemned, and the policy of the new administration which they are very likely to stand by. If they are to do the same as Republi­ cans did, the people will want to know why a change was made. Oonntyof McHenry .OSce of Town W;'v 8, 1885.

A cross dog will "go right to the spot" quicker than the pollen,--Norristown Hgrald. w. ' ' si- f' , 11" I^Tbe Gould butter factory fail- lire has distributed about 980,000 in tosses among the farmers. He was jfinning 12 factories, aud contrary to the State law requiriring bonds. If tiie law-had been enforced, he would probably have found it difficult to run Ml many factories, but what be did run Would have been safe. These losses are distributed tn amounts running from #10 up to 9150 or more in seme eases. The farmers have gone in debt on the strength of getting their money (torn the milk, and now they are un­ file to pay as tbey expected, and must make some other shift. In the town of Spring this county, quite a number have been bit. The Wood law Is a pood one, and should be enforced,-- Belvidere Standard. ,*r j MTRepresentative Fuller has a but- ferine bill at Springfield that we re- fard as a good thing. Its chief rovision Is (be levying of a tax of fif­ teen cents per pound on manufactured butterine. It is the cry of the butter­ ine men that were it not for their own i>ig-heartednegs the great middle class t»f humanity could not use butter. This of a verity, is all bo»h. The per- ions deriving the benefits from the manufacture of butterine are the man­ ufacturers themselves and the Chicago grocerymen. The grocerymen can buy good butterine for from ten to fifteen cents per pound at a time when he would be compelled to pay about forty per cent more for a fair brand of dairy 'butter. If the groceryman gave the consumer a portion of his trade there could be no complaint. But he does not do this. Instead be sells his but­ terine for butter and at the going price of the genuine product. The consumer pays the price of butter for butterine and the dealer pockets the large margin and smiles contentedly Certainly the groceryman is In favor of butterine, and otherwise would be • fit eubje t for investigation as to his meotal condition. The Fuller bill to tax butterine to an extent that "will render it not a bonanza for un­ scrupulous dealers and In our opinion strikes at the foundation of the large and growing trade In spurious butter. We incline to tho opinion that the Fuller bill san be converted Into a law much easier than the prohibitory en- , actment proposed and be fully as satisfactory in its acomplisblngs as '.anything that could be framed in the aw**. :/-:. ™ ?• awful example to the unter- rifled whose hunger can only be satis­ fied with a post office is afforded by the suicide of a newly appointed post­ master at West Chester, Pennsylvania, He killed himself becnuse his duties were so onerous, This disposes of the prevalent Democratic notion that a Federal office involves no other work than the drawing of a fat salary. Perhaps, If the Cabinet members were to publish a tract containing a vividly written accountSof this horrible tradg- edy and were to present a copy to each office-seeker, together with a lith ograph of the boarding house rateB in Washington, the ranks of the raveno.ts hordes might be sensibly reduced. A father complaining of the way his children destroyed their clothing, said: ' When I was a boy I had only one suit of clothes and I had to take care of it. I was allowed only one pair of shoes a year in those days." There was a pause, then a very little chap spoke up: "You have a n\ueh easier time of It now you me living with u8.M OTATK or IlUKOtS o ss.-- Town of Motte* Supervisor.
