' The impulse which baa actuated thte Jfew York Recorder to start a fund for the erection of a monument in honor of General Sherman is entirely commenda­ ble, but the undertaking is HO suggestive of failure at the outset that one is almost inclined to regret, the patriotic spirit which promptp the enterprise. The dead chieftain deserves the handsomest me­ morial within the gift of the American people, but the thought at once suggests itself that New York is not the city to head the movement. The Grant mont) ment fund is still incomplete and if the metropolis will not contribute to fulfill that solemn obligation which was volun tarily assumed, what reason is there for believing that it will be more generous or more mindful of the p'roprietiefl in the case of General Sherman. A noble monument should be erected in General Sherman's honor, but it should not be dependent upon the uncertainty of individual subscriptions. He belonged to the nation and it is by the nation's representatives in Congress assembled that suitable action should be taken for the preservation of his memory in stone Or bronze. -. I®* Hon.

F., with headquar­ ters at Galesburgh, at a salary of $5,000 a year. 1ST Mrs. Logan is a stalwart, as was her lamented husband. She has written the Republican members of the legisla ture the following letter: • WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25.--C. H Crawford, Springfield, 111.: Better be de­ feated by an organized, honorable oppo­ sition than to be demoralized and disor ganized by an ignoble surrender of prin ciple. Stand firmly together and com ma>ri the confidence and respect of intel­ ligent people, even though you may be temporarily unsuccessful. It is against reason, sense and all usage that a minor­ ity so Ismail should dictate to a great majority of recognized honorable repre­ sentatives of honest principles. MRH. JOHN A. LOGAN. The Now Secretary. Ex^Goyernor Charles Foster, of Ohio, has been named by President Harrison for Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Fos­ ter is a man whose personal and political record has been before the people of this country for more than a quarter of a century. He has been repeatedly gov­ ernor of Ohio, and has served a long time in Congress. He has proved himself in every way a strong man. Mr. Foster is in perfect harmony with the policy of the administration. He is a man of the people and his sympathies are all with the masses as against the classes. He believes the country ought to have plenty of money for the easy transaction of business, but that it should all be good money. He approves of the silver bill passed by the present Congress, and believes that its proper application "will utilize all the available silver of the American mines for purposes of coinage. Mr. Foster is a business man, liberal, and yet safe in his financial views. He is a man who meets every requirement of the high position he has been called to fill. The President has shown his usual good judgment in selecting'him for the Treasury portfolio. .U / Have You Bead " "tlie Riddle of the Sphinx," by H. B.

I®" Never put gloves on to soften blows at anarchy. This insidious evil, the off­ spring of ignorance and oppression under foreign governments, muBt not be toler­ ated in the United States. Down in Pitts­ burg, last Sunday, there was vigorous treatment of one of its advocates, as wit­ ness the following from Monday's Inter- Ocean: A Hebrew church on Grant street was the scene of a fierce battle to-day. An anarchist from Chicago named Lewis, had rented the church, but the pastor objected and called a special meeting as a counter attraction. Some one arose to defend the anarchist and his friends, and was promptly thrashed, as was an­ other meddler. To-night all is peace with the worshipers in possession. I®" The following extract is taken from a recent speech delivered by Judge Sherwood, of Elgin: "Mere acquisition of wealth is the lowest order of ambition. In makes men narrow and selfish. How one uses what he has proves whether he is successful or not. Few men start in life with a calling fixed in boyhood. The majority, of our successful men to-day would be puzzled to tell how they chose their present calling. Young men who start with money usually loose it before they learn how to spend it; but money earned by bard work and blistered hands, is carefully taken care of. Men should learn to save for use in after life. Men who will work can usually find a job. The opportunities for acquiring wealth, position, etc., are greater now than they ever were. Perseverance, industry, lion and fidelity will win." A Voice from New Hexico. There is a man in New Mexico who de­ sires information on a few points con­ nected with Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party. His thirst for knowl edge is thus manifested in a letter to the New York Sun: As a post-election orator, as a radiant perennial lardaceous symphony in neck, as the triumphant perfection of a glorious and haloic egoism, Mr. Cleveland is near the band wagon; but can anyone state Eositively how he voted last November? >o we want for a leader in '92 a hyper- trophied protophyte or do we want a Democrat? Do the Democracy desire a standard bearer who considers it the chief end of man to sleep spoon fashion with the gentle Mugwump ? Do they de­ sire a leader whose tongue is generally sunburned by self-adulation on the high­ ways?^ Can they enthuse properly over a candidate who on arising begins the duties of the morning by first shaking hands with himself ? These are burning questions. More­ over, they are propounded with a richness of diction and an exuberance of pictur­ esque phrase that command attention. The inquirer is hereby assured that, whether or not the Democratic party wants the things enumerated, it is very likely to get them. There is something peculiar about Cleveland. Although odious to a great section of his party, he gets a nomination whenever he wants it. Even at this moment, standing on an anti-Democratic silver platform, "and seeking to carry into the campaign an­ other war on American industries, the Chances are overwhelmingly in favor of his being Democracy's next candidate for the presidency. This is bad for Democ racy, but it cannot cast off the burden. The Mugwumps have issued the decree, and what they say "goes" in Democratic national conventions. The man in New Mexico may as well make up bis mind to Tbe Slow Going Farmer Ahead. Some years ago, says T. B. Terry in the Ohio Farmer, a friend of the writer invested a little money in land near a large city. The city soon afterward took a sudden start in that direction, and this land increased greatly in value. My friend sold part and built himself a fine house, and when I visited him he evi­ dently felt sorry for the "slow-goiDg far- ' Soon after he went into business in the city and thought himself on the high road to great wealth. Lately the business venture turned out a failure, and my friend writes that he will have to sell his home; bnt times are so bad now that it will not bring what it is worth and he asks me (the "slow-going far­ mer!") to lend him two or three thous­ and "on long time and a low interest, so that he can hold onto it until it can be sold to better advantage. This little ex­ perience, and it is not an unusual one, has made me feel quite contented with my lot. Perhaps others may find alrttle encouragement in it. The battle is not always to the swift. At an institute yesterday a speaker gave the farmers some pretty good home thrusts. He showed them how much they often lost by unbusinesslike meth­ ods, and how they could, many of them, improve their financial condition. The next speaker said that was all well enough, but when the farmers got the money, the trusts, tariffs, taxes, etc would get it all away from him, and then be drifted off on these "terrible wrongs" that the poor farmer has to endure The practical points were simply ignored, as of no importance. I was not sur prised when a farmer reached over and whispered: "That man is one of our most slack farmers. He spends his time, largely, talking politics; in fact, there is scarcely a day when he does not go to town." This reminds me of what a good minis­ ter said at one institute. He said the way the farmers • shied off from these home thrusts to some great matter they conld not control reminded him of his ex­ perience in prayer meetings. He would talk to the people about some sinful prac­ tice that they ought to gee the better of, and the very first good brother that got down on his knees to pray was sure to lead them way off to the heathen in for­ eign lands, or the creation of the world There are some things that are not right, of course, in the matter of taxes, trusts, etc., but there is nothing to prevent good business methods and practices from bringing reasonable success on the farm. MERIT WINS. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen,s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well,orthat have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them tevery time, and we stand ready to re­ fund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity puaely on their merits. ;$2ml ' G. W. BEBLE.V, Druggist. C. P. BARNES, Attorney. STATE OF ILLINOIS, County of McHetvry.
