MTU is stated that Congressman Hopkins has succeeded In securing for John Powers, of Elgin, the govern men! award of forty thousand dollars for the service rendered in the capture of J. Wilkes Booth after the assasslna- Uoaof President Lincoln. MTThe fact that the Maltose and aati-Mahone Republicans of Virginia have made friends, has caused the Be publicans to count very hopefully on oarrying that state this year. In the Congressional elections of 1886, the Bepublioan majority In the State was more than 19,900. Why not tfye same this year? 19* The other day, says the Syca­ more Republican, Rev. Barton H. Oartwrlght one of the oldest members •f the Reck River cenferenoe, was reading the words o! Dr. Brooks in whioh that gentleman said, "I thank God that I was never a Republican.' The old gentleman threw down the paper with a good deal of feeling and exolaimed; "Yes and I thank God that the devil was never a] Bepublioan either." A x>K*<HMuric BSXIASATB OR#I«^ Bon. James S. Ewiog, of Blooming- ton. an earnest and life long Democrat end the present candidate for Elector on the Democratic State ticket for the Fourteenth District, iu a speech deliv­ ered In that city a few days ago, after uQDOuncing his purpose to answer Mr. Fifer's Springfield epecch, said. "I propose to answer that speech frooa a Democratic standpoint. Be­ fore I attempt to do eo, however, 1 ivieh to say a few words of rather a ;>ersonal nature. In referring to Miff Fifer 1 said 'my frl>nd; and I raefaf just what 1 say. For nearly twenty ears 1 have known him intimately, professionally and socially. When we have been associated together in the trial of causes I fouud him always able and willing to do his part; always po­ lite and considerate. When 1 have iiad causes against him, I have found him always a foeman to be teared, but Uwaye houorable. Feeling thus I am glad to say political ditierences have lot, and I believe cannot, diminish my respect for him or his for me. 1 re­ gard him, in all respects, the equal in ability of any of the Republican lead­ ers In this State, and I feel, therefore that what has been said in the speech referred to Is as well said and the cause so ably presented as could be by any Republican orator. •Understand, therefore, that what­ ever I may have to say to you to-night about the speech in question must be free from any kind of personal feeling or bias," • % . ' This language is In honorable con­ trast with the dirt-throwing policy adopted by some Democratic news­ papers. PKOTECTION IN «KRMA»W, Our Democratic friends are very much in the habit of pointing to the low wages in Germany as a proof that a protective tarifl does not help the worklngmtvn. Their illustration, if they properly understood the facts, la one they^would never use. The pro­ tective policy of Germany is very re­ cent and is due to the practical sagac­ ity of Bismark. who, in urging the natter in the Reichstag in a speech on May 14.1882. said: The success cf the United States in material development is the most Illustrious of modern time * * Because it is my deliberate Judgment that the prosperity of America is mainly due to Its system of protective laws, I urge that Germany has now reached that point where It Is neces­ sary to imitate the tarifl system of the United States. The change is too recent to have revolutionized the industries of the country, but there is already a marked advance in the wages of German la­ borers reported by statistics. iwmwM IfiTPoints of resemblance between the political campaign of 1840 and that of the preeent year bave frequently been remarked apoa. Here is an­ other. In July, 1840, a number of former supporters of Mr. Van Buren publicly advertised in the columns of The Daily Advertiser, of Newark, N. J., their reasons for opposing his election for a second term, as follows: • * * We might give many rea­ sons for this change In our political opinions; ~ The following, however, we/deem sufficient. We do not be­ lieve a National debt is a National blessing. We do not believe the price otlabor in this free country should be reduced to the standard prescribed by despots in foreign countries, We do not believe In fighting for the count- try and being unrepresented or mis­ represented in the councils of the country. * • * We do not believe it was the design of the framers of the constitution that the President should occupy his time during his first term in electioneering for his re-election to a second term. Therefore we belleye tn one term for Van Buren and one term for Old Tip. Verily, history repeats itself. *F*The DeKalb Jteview being aaked to define a prohibitionist, answers thus. A prohibitionist is a pjerson who has taken the job of Introducing the mil­ lennia. without the autholty or tools to do it with. The prohibitionist may be a male or a female. The male pro­ hibitionist was once known as a tem­ perance man, but is now everywhere recognized only as a third partyite or assistant Democrat. The principal characteristics of the male prohibi­ tionist are hatred of everything hinting at Republicanism; he is testy, cantankerous and cranky. Free Whiskey. The Democratic cry of Free Whiskey to meet the Protectionists' charge on Free Trade is one of that party's usu­ ally silly ways of meeting a great question. Now, do they mean to serl- ously say that the Protectionists of the country propose to take off the pres­ ent duty of $2 per proof gallon on spirituous liquors? We do not think that, with all their stupidity and lack of information on economic subjects, they mean this, and if not, what do they mean? Are Protectionists In lavor of free iron and steel because they do net impose an internal reve­ nue tax on those productions? Fertlnant Questions, If the tariff on wool--thirty-six per cent,--is "robbery," as the Democrats claim, what is the tarifl on sugar-- which is eighty-two per cent.?" If the]«tarlff on wool is robbery, what is'the tarifl oo'rlcejwhteh 'Is 106 per cent.? If the object of the Mills bill .Is to reduoe the revenue by reducing the tariff,"why not reduce the tariff oa sugar, which produces $53,000,000, in­ stead of removing altogether the tariff on wool, which produces only^#5,000,- 000 revenue? If the object of reducing the'tariff is to lighten the farmer's burdens why not reduce it on sugar, which the far­ mer has to buy. insteal of removing it from wool, which he raises to sell ? The answer to these question may be bad from such men as"'Wooden Screw'1 Vanoe, of Connecticut, the congress man who wants protection for himself, but not for his neigh bor. The feeling of leaienoy toward traitors has not yet beoome so general : *hat the Democratic party dare : send •x-Confederates north to speak for own party, but they are sent ipihtoapoak and work for their allies Wlllfk^nds, the prohibitionists. John A. Brooks, Col. Bain and George C. Christian hated tbe Republican party fought against it from 1861 to >66, theyhato It now and seek to over tt hy another m«de of attack, ihftaw sentiments of Brooks «Mn» generally known, there is a Calling off In the ranks of the party. Loyal temperance men rapport a rebel for a high the management of this gov- No loyal man will vote for url rebel, who boasts of his and hi* elavo-holding.-- ®*"Yes, I am a rebel and a Demo­ crat, but I thank God that I never have been a Republican." This Is the latest reported remark of the God fearing Dr. Brooks, the Third Party oandidate for the office of Vlce-Presi dent of the United States, the man who {publicly boasts that he sympa­ thized with treason and rebellion and prayed for the overthrow of the Union troops. What an admiral spectacle this political preacher Is making of him­ self 1 What a fine Christian spirit his remarks display! Hatred of the Re­ publican party constitutes nine-tenths of his political creed. The only malicious mud-slinging thus far in the oampalgn bas been done by the Third Party orators. We commend the above remark of the pious Dr. Brooks to the careful consideration of Third Party people and especially to our Prohibi tion friends who dony that Brooks was ever a rebel. Can any ex-Union soldier cast his vote for such a man as this praying skulker in the Confeder­ ate rear, who thaoks God that he was a hater of Union Republicanism? Beacon.

Being interested in all that pertains to t jo success and usefulness of our public schools, we would call the at­ tention of educators to the value of early training In the use of language and the need of more thorough in­ struction in the knowledge of words. We mean the English langnage, and for the most part, good old Anglo- Saxon words. We are constrained to believe that iu far too many schools the ability to name words rapidly aB they occur in. the reading lesson, in the geography or the history Is allowed to suffice as the full measure of Instruction in the department of language, and the pu­ pils thus pass to other fields without th<> ability to either correctly spell or properly pronounce the words they have uBed, and with no knowledge at all of their true signification or wealth of meaning. The derivation or history of a word as found in the dictionary often opens up a moBt delightful field for study and investigation, and through this the learner's ambltiop to attain great­ er power and fluency in the use of words might be incited. We believe that the learned man Is most clearly distinguished from the ignorant by his greater command of language and wider knowledge of the power of words. What better field can there be, then, for the development of a greater usefulness on the part of our public schools than through a larger and more intelligent study of our own vocabulary? Fortunately wa hive a standard an* tbority for the meaning and use of English word J, a recoguized and uni­ versally conceded court of last resort, an open "Webster," where are record­ ed for the use of all, the decision of the best writers and speakers upon the correct us ige of every item that goes to make up the beautiful whole of our mother tongue. We believe that our public schools will attain a greater usefulness, and be more successful in teaching language jubt in the ratio that they send their pupils to the dictionary with more frequency, teaching them to study its record more Intelligently and abide by its decisions more steadfastly. It need no argument to prove that every schoolroom should be supplied with a copy of Webster's Unabridged Dic­ tionary, as the foundation for improv­ ed language *ork, As a further means to this desirable end, we can make no better recommendation than that every pupil should acquire the habit of constant reference to authority by having at bis desk a copy of an abridg­ ed edition of WebBter, and that every teacher should be competent to give instruction in its proper use. Without disparaging the other abridgments, we regard Webster's Academic Dictionary as the beat of all for the hourly use of pupils, and when it is remembered that its usefulness will survive the pupil's school days, and in the absence of the unabridged, become the family dictionary, it is not too much to say that it should be found on the desk of every pupil in our schools above the most primary grades. „ Harvest Excuralona Will be run by the Chicago & North­ western Railway to points In Iowa, Minnesota, Dakota (Including the Blaek Hills;, Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado, for whloh tickets will be sold August 21st, September 11th and 25th, October 9th and 23d, at half the usual rates, one fare for the round trip These Excursions will enable those desirous of locating on free govern­ ment land or of purchasing cheap rail­ road lands to look tbe ground over carefully and judge for themselves of the wonderful fertility of the soil which is fully demonstrated by the bounteous harvest of the present sea­ son.
