Ingalls: "If thine enemy smite thee on Olie cheek, swipe him with haste and dex­ terity at the butt end of his most con­ venient, ear." 8.SV I^The Aurora Beacon truly rtfewrtosf **The tidal wave of November, 1890, will ** lie distinguished in history for the fact it floated more nobodies to the sur- ffa* than any political upheaval ever • Imown in this country." ^ ' I®" "The Democrats profess be quite confident of electing General Palmer «- •'his week.

The Jacksonville Journal says: •. **It is but natural that the Democratic yarty should dislike the Election bill, for $iey all know that a free vote and a fair '*•.

Mr. " Gage's new duties as president of the IFiret National Bank of Chicago have ne- i \ ' tessitated his retirement from the direc- ' „ ' tory. The World's Fair managers hope ^ •., ptill to have the benefit of hiscounsel and . - -well known business abilities. The Reaction. Since election nothing is heard of the deleterious effects of the McKinley bill. In fact the law is demonstrating what was claimed for it, that it would revive industries and establish new ones. Every day brings news confirming these prom­ ises, and turning to confusion the argu­ ments against the bill used in the last campaign. The facts are refuting all the theories and demonstrating tbe cor­ rectness of the principle on which the Mckinley law is based., A flurry in prices created by the silver bill more than any­ thing else was seised upon by the free traders to show an immensely increased cost of living. The tariff law had not yet taken effect and much of it would not take effect for a year afterward and yet storekeeper^ took the opportunity to make it tell for their interests. Where they did not advance prices they assured the customer that now was the time to buy, for prices were certain to be advanc­ ed. But the same dealers who had used this argument to increase their trade .in 1890, now secure trade by showing there has been a great reduction in prices. And the McKinley bill is about as respon­ sible for one condition as another. The bill does not so much affect prices; indeed in the end it should reduce prices. But it secures the home market to the producer. That is the principle benefit. The putting on sale of Chicago and Pittsburg made tin plate, the starting up of a large num­ ber of industries, the alarm in England over the threatened removal of a number of English factories to this country to get inside the tariff lines, all show that the McKinley law is working well al­ though as yet it has had but a short trial and all of its provisions have not yet taken effect. The scare over McKinley prices was all cheap campaign humbug and cannot be played again. It was a campaign expedient that, now that the McKinley bill is demonstrating itself with exactly a different result, is produc­ ing a reaction in its favor and in favor of the policy of protection.

SOwS 1ST It really does seem that the contin­ ued pitching into Don Cameron, now that , "fie has been elected United States Sena- • tor, is a waste of energy. He is there -sfmd hewill stay there; hence it is suggest- «d that certain Republican papers would ';':;ibow do well to turn their guns on the jspnemy, inasmuch as there is pressing .-meed of slaughter in that "direction. leading merchant remarked a few l|days since: "We do not hear so much ^\about McKinley prices as we did just be- fore election. I bought a lot of goods to- fc^day, many of them foreign fabrics, and bought them cheaper than ever before. - '• - The price per yard was less than precisely the game goods were ever before offered , |L us." Other authorities announce that irS' £ foreign manufacturers are makingspecial pi 'inducements to Americans to meet the higher duties now imposed--thus proving that it is the foreign producer and not the American consumer who pays the duty. t®~Chas. Ford, the principal of the (," Calhoun school at Chicago, has been sus- Jl . > V pended by the school board, on account '0:> * of his cruelty to the pupils in his charge. ffi,' Corporal punishment is strictly forbidden ^ . - but as Mr. Ford appears to be too weak 5 to govern his school except through a sense of fear, he has devised a method Of |v^: punishment that would do credit to the |"4„n< renowned Squeers. For trifling offenses children not more than ten or twelve years of age are shut up for hours in the basement under the school building. In I? -r ' addition to the cold and darkness is the 0s'! s deafening noise of the machinery, while a -|v: - \ false move is liable to bring one in con- tact with a belt. A nervous, timid child confined, even for a short time, in such a - ' place might receive a life-long injury. No % '* <>* doubt the stories are more or less exag- {y'.'/'!" gerated concerning Mr. Ford, but the , ' facte are bad enough. I©" The question as to who shall be nominated for Circuit Judges, the election for which takes place in June, is com­ mencing to be agitated, and promises to become quite interesting as the time draws nigh. In this connty as yet but little has been said, at least that has come to the surface, but what may be brewing it is hard to tell. As to Kane county there seems to be a general con­ currence of sentiment among the people as well as the Bar in favor of keeping Judge Wilson on the bench. That not­ withstanding his age it is conceded that no Circnit Judge in the State has done more, if as much, labor or done it as speedily during the last three or four years as Judge Wilson. The people can't afford to loos^ his services as long as he is willing to serve. This, as we said before, is the sentiment of the people and the Bar in Kane county. There is in Kane county but one man, so far as we can learn, who opposes his re-election, and he is a lawyer of very little practice in the Circuit Court, and is angry because the Judge refused to appoint him Master in Chancery. Therefore we think it reasonably sure that Judge Wilson will be presented by Kane county for re­ election. We shall have something to say as to other candidates in the near future. C. P.

Stelle. That three men who represent a constituency of perhaps three thousand, should attempt to dictate to the great State of Illinois as to who shall represent us in the Senate at Washington and that, too, at an expense of three thousand dollars a day to the taxpayers of the State, is a shame and disgrace And these three men are posing as the friends of the laboring classes! Bosh The Republicans or Democrats who will assist these men in their rule or ruin policy deserves and will receive the con­ demnation of all right minded men. * ¥:>- b ' r Linen Thread Is Cheaper, s- We confess to having been apprehen­ sive that the new tariff on linens would increase the price of goods to consumers until new factories could be built, though we expected lower prices and better qual­ ities as an ultimate result of increased c, protection. But the Dry Goods Chronicle of Jan. 17th removes our apprehensions by quoting from Barbour Brothers' new r price list and comparing it with that in force before "the infamous McKinley bill" had became law. Quotations run thus: Barbour's car- pet thread for machine sewing, three cord or four ounce spools: - Ho. 18. No. 20. No. 25 New price........„..f 98 $1 03 f 114 Old price..*.......... 109 114 1 26 Barbour's standard carpet threads, 3 cords, in skeins, all colors, are reduced from the old price of 94 cents to 85 cents per dozen since "the infamous bill" was passed. Button threads, 3 cord, were 55 cents per dozen before, and are 40 cents per dozen since the infamous bill took effect Two cord, 100 yard spools, have fallen rotn 40 to 32 cents per dozen. Barbour's standard skein threads, in dark blue, brown and drab shades, are thus quoted by the Dry Goods Chronicle: Nos. 25. 30. 35. 40. 50. 60 Nw pr.fl OOfl lOfl 25fl 40fl 65$1 85 Old pr. 110 120 140 155 180 2 00 •'The infamous bill" is getting along ' ® quite nicely in the way of reducing prices. But just wait and hear the racket as tin- ' plate comes clattering down some 10 or , 20 per cent, as it is aoc* to do before long.--/ntflr-Oceaa. Intelligent people, who are familiar with the respective advantages which are offered by the several competing railroad lines between Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City, and who desire to travel with the utmost speed, safety and com­ fort, always take the popular and relia­ ble Chicago & Alton Railroad between these points, and passengers going to or coming from the South, via St. Louis, or when going to or coming from the West, via Kansas City, should insist upon hav­ ing tickets that read over the Chicago & Alton. It is the only road with three complete and elegantly equipped trains between Chicago and each point named, and no railroad managers in America have a more intelligent appreciation of the wants of the traveling public than do those of the famous Chicago & Alton. 19tf F.

FAILURES IN LIFE People fail in many ways. In business, in morality, in religion, in happiness, and in health. A weak heart is often an unsuspected cause of failure in life. If the blood does not circulate properly in the lungs there is shortness of breath asthma, etc.; in the brain, dizziness I headache, etc.; in the stomach, wind, pain, indigestion, faint spells, etc.; in the liver, torpidity, congestion, etc. Pain in the left side, shoulder and stomach is caused by heart strain. For all these maladies Mr. Milles' New Cure for the heart and lungs is the best remedy. Sold, guaranteed and recommended by G. W. Besley. Treatise free.
