Creiger for the «aote office. 51 HB" On the Elgin Board of Tratfe *HJ Monday, Six thousand three hundred and sixty pounds of butter were sold at 25 cents, and 6.900 pounds at 26 cento. The total sales amounted to $3,384. IfiT The report comes from Montreal that the "boodlers" and defaulters in that land of refuge have clubbed to- gather and raised the neat little sum of $100,000, defeat the bill providing for their extradition to the United States. And their morality will not interfere with their using it to the best advantage, either. Will the members of the Domin­ ion Parliament allow themselves to be tempered with, and will they consent this blot shall remain upon Canada? if®". The Louisville Courier-Journal, good Democratic authority, has the following: "The new Secretary of Agri­ culture, the Hon. Jere Rusk, though less noted than Mr. Blaine and Mr. Windom, is still an old hand at the bellows. He is a perfectly honest and capable man for the place. In Congress/he won the res­ pect and regard of all who knew him. As Governor of Wisconsin' he had some rough places to get over, and he got over them like a man. He will never say a foolish thing or do an unworthy thing." ' Newspaper men are to receive •Otne recognition from the present ad­ ministration. Heretofore they have not usually aspired to more than the cross­ roads postoffice. They have boosted the other fellows into the feast while they remained to pick such bones as might be thrown to them. It is not impossible that Whitelaw Reid may go as minister to England, and Andrew Shuman consul to one of the Swiss cities. These men are tried, familiar with public life, political usages, and would undoubtedly do the . country good service abroad. I®" Cuba is the home of pestilential Diseases. The inhabitants have no "idea ol sanitary measures. Yellow fever flour­ ishes there, and it is brought over to Florida, where it works ruin. From FSuriiiii it spreads to many other states. Uncle Sam has money enough to buy Alaska, he caste a longing eye after Can­ ada, and now there is talk of holding out a well-filled money bag to Spain in exchange for Cuba. Should the purchase e, he proposes to work a reforma- > the way of surprising the natives lportation of Awerjc%a money \urora Beacon has the in# to say of our Congressman: "Every •visitor to Washington from Illinois looks to A. J. llopkiiw with a great deal of pride. He is regarded as one of the com- ifig men of the country. Every visitor from the Fifth district will agree that he is the right man in the right place. His career reflects honor on this district and no man in Washington enjoys a larger measure of the public esteem and confi­ dence then A/J. Hopkins. Gifted with much talent and learned in the law and a [ diligent student of all the public ques­ tions of the day, he is looked upon by both Senate and House as one of the most promising men in public life. Every­ body listens when Hopkins has the floor, for he never speaks on a public measure until he has studied it carefully, and then he speaks with that force and directness that comes from conviction and a thor- ough knowledge of the subject. His man ner of delivery is that of the polished law­ yer, and his arguments are constructed after the principles of correct logic. He has come to be considered an authority on copyright law, having made a thor­ ough study of the international copyright bill now before Congress, being opposed to the bill, as he is in favor of cheap books and cheap literature for the mass­ es. He will be heard on this subject in the next Congress. Although a young man,'Hopkins, of Illinois,'is a name as well known as most of the old veterans in Congress, yisitors during the Inaugu­ ration found him untiring in his efforts to make their stay in the city pleasurea- ble. shelved are {-rowclecl with new dpring Merchandise and to avoid any collapse wo will throw our waies on the market a' the mercy ot the buying public for the o*xt sixty daye;- ~ % Embrace the lr- Opportunity, ' There is a wholesale outbreai-Tof hydrophobia in White River Township, Johnson County,Ind., and dogs are being slaughtered by the score. About two weeks ago a rabid dog passed through that country, biting many cattle and others animals. Several head of fine cattle, owned by a man named Sutton, became affected with the disease and were killed. Their carcasses were placed in a pile and set on fire, but before they had been consumed nearly all the dogB in the township had feasted off the dis­ eased flesh. The result is that the can­ ines are all showing unmistakable signs ol hydrophodia, and are biting much of the live stock of the township, causing a ftiavy loss to farmers. IOTA' 'culchad" Boston correspondent •t Washington, who probably never saw a western prairie, writes to the Boston Transcript that "the impression pro­ duced by the President so far is altogeth­ er pleasant. It has always been known * tfcat he is more like an Eastern man than Western man, and he is more like the typical cold, grave, polished Eastern lawyer than the Jloosier politician." The West for a long time has been sending to Washinton its Clays, Chases, Harrisons, Xincolns, Grants, Douglasses, Shermans, Sheridans, Logans, Chandlers, Corwins, Hayeses and Garfields and it is barely possible that the literary Boston upstart who corresponds with the Transcript Might have heard of them. Gen. Harri­ son will scarcely feel complimented by. finch toadyism. • V Senator Farwell is in fa*or of re­ form, and his first step would be to abol­ ish the civil service part of it. Here is his proposed method for selecting men to fill the public offices: Instead of senators and representa­ tives going to the president and the cabinet officers and fighting for what is properly due their states and districts, 1 would have those officials make out a list of what place are due the republi­ can states and the republican congress­ ional districts. Then we would make the recommendations for men to fill those places and would be responsible for getting the right kind of men. As it is now we don't know, what we are going to have. We have to go to the President and to the departments- and importune for this position and that position, and we never know whether we are going to get it or not. When they asked me at the White House to make out a list of what I thought Illi­ nois entitled to I told them it was their business to make out the list and give it to me. Then I would know just how many persons to recommend and for what places,1 I wouldn't have to take up my own time or the president's or the cabinet officers. The qudta of Illi­ nois could be fixed within a fortnight and the senator and representatives could attend to the public business. So could the cabinet officers. Bnt under the present arrangement all of us will have out hands full for months to come answering the demands of office- seekers. To carry out my plan it would be necessary to dismiss those school­ masters at the civil-sevice Commission, but that would be no loss. People can talk as they please, but the only way to end this ceasless importunity for offiee is for the senators and member at the be- gining of an administration to know just what place they are entitled to fill and to know also that their recommendations will be followed. Then instead of four years of office-seeking there would not be more than four weeks of it." fjine with those who are ffe search of high grade Spring Mer­ chandise, at low hollow prices as jou will then surely visit us and our stock, and the daylignt examination of goods needed by you.
