BEPTJBLICAN JUDICIAL TICKET. For Judges' of the Circuit Court of the 12th Judicial Ciivuit oi the Sta.tM.of, Illinois. HENRTB. WILLIS, of K*nel f CHARLES KELLVM, ofDeKa*fcf CLARK IF. UPTON, of Lake, . MICTION, MONDAY, JCNE MI,, FOB CIRCUIT JUDGES. At the head of our paper this week can be found the Republican Judicial Ticket, for this, the 12th Judicial Circuit. The Hox. CLARK W. UPTON, of Lake County, is too well known to need any recommendation from us. Having occu­ pied the bench for the past twelve years he has made himself so popular with all whom he has come in contact that he will receive the almost unanimous vote of the people, without regard to party, oa Monday, June 1st. Such men as Judge Upton the people delight to honor. » HON. CHARLES KEIXT-M, of DeKalb County, is another tried and true man, and his unanimous nomination by the Convention at Aurora, was but a just recognition of an able and honest judge. In the beginning of the canvas a few dis­ gruntled mugwumps in this County sought to create prejudice against Judge Kellnm, by charging that he did not attend to his Court duties as he should, but the people saw through the animus of these false charges, as was evidenced by his unanimous nomination at the Convention. Kane County's candidate, Hon. Hairy B. Wilson, jfs comparatively a stranger to us, and as all our readers know, was not our first choice, but as he received the unanimous nomination of the Con­ vention is entitled to and will receive our undivided support. He is a man in the prime of life, and is capable and eligible in every way to the Judgeship. A just Judge is what is ifanted, and among those who know Mr. Willis none can be found who will deny him the quality of unswerving integrity and justice. A Kane County exchange in speaking of him, says: "The nomination of Hon. Henry B. Willis is well received and his election is assured. Our first acquaint­ ance with the nominee was in the days when Judge Cody was on the bench. Willis was State's Attorney and we served one session upon the grand jury. In the performance of his duties he was tireless, energetic and fearless, and while the busi aess went through with a rush, yet his advice and judgment were splendid and BO mistakes were made. We gained moBt favorable impression of him at that time and have watched his career closely «ver since, feeling that a bright future was before him. As Mayor of Elgin his vecord was good, and with the ability and integrity which he possesses we have BOt a shadow of doubt but that he will Biake a most excellent judge." Bemember the election takes place on Monday, June 1st. He sure and come out and cast your vote for the regular Bominees, Clark W. Upton. Hemy B. Willis and Charles Kellum. t- j McKinley'a Prediction. | Major McKinley speaks words of truth and soberness when he says the tariff will remain as it is for ten years, nnla^ amended on the lines of protection by a Bepublican Congress. The prediction is not a note of defiance; it is a recognition of prevailing public sentiment. Nobody , wants free trade. There would be quick rebellion against even such a reduction of tariff duties as would disturb the pres­ ent relations between home and foreign Industries. No laboring man wants his wages reduced to the European level, and 9 fanner desires to see his best custom- impoverished. Consumers are buying rything of domestic manufacture per than ever, while agricultural roducts are commanding better prices. Reciprocity is finding new markets for tiie fruits Of American toil, making easier the purchase of things which we cannot produce, and at the same time leaving unimpaired the wall of protection around competitive industries. There is general satisfaction with the business condition and outlook, and a Well-grounded confidence that Republican economic policies are to work still better tesults in the near future. Major McKin ley is right. Protection has come to stay and will not be tampered with by Its enemies. The people will not entrust anybody but Republicans with legisla­ tion on the tariff. It Cant be Done. Does Italy propose to form a combina­ tion with the other powers of Europe to compel tfi& United States to turn itself into a paradise for murderers? The phraseology of the Scheme is put in seduc­ tive form, viz: "To compel the United States to find means to guarantee pro­ tection of foreign subjects." So far as recent events have inspired this under­ taking, itft real meaning is as follows: If a European cut-throat runs away from his own country to escape legal penalty or popular wrath, and comes to this country, where he practices blackmail and secret assassination, the government of the United States must shield him from any unpleasant consequences of his mis­ behavior. Not all the monarchs and armies of the Old World will be able to bulldoze or coerce Uncle Sam into doing anything of the kind. It is not probable that they will try. If Premier Rudini autempts to form a syndicate for any such purpose, he is likely to be its sole head and front, body and rear. But no movement could be formidable enough to compel this country to convert itself into an aesylum for the depravity and vice of which Europe is constantly trying to rid itself. Vrnat We Want to Know. "We would really like answers to the following, because we want to know, don't you know. 1. What is so-called "high tariff?" Give illustrative rates. 2. If the "tariff is a tax" why do wire nails, which are taxed four cents a pound, sell for three cents a pound ? 3. If it be true that the protective tariff "depressed the prices of agricultural products" in 1890 why doesn't it depress them in 1891 ? % 4. What articles are manufactured in this country and protected by the tariff which have not been cheapened in price ? 5. If the American factories had not been developed by a protective tariff, in what employment would the operatives now in the factories have been engaged and what would have been their wages? 6. If the factory had not been estab­ lished in what would the American farmer be any better off ? Here is a question for each working day in the week. Will some of the foes of the American industrial system please answer them. The Anti-Trust Bill. The Senate will do well to remember that the people of Illinois desire the pas­ sage of an anti-trust bill. And they de­ sire a bill that shall havye force and rigid- ness of definition in its clauses. Both of the great parties have resolved and re- resolved in favor of legislation against trusts, and the alliance party of three is supposed to have opposition to the trust policy as the sole cause of its existence. Thus the question is not for party con­ sideration. It is a matter of little mo ment as to whether the bill to be passed have a Democrat, an Alliance man or a Republican for its author. If a good bill be presented by the House to the Senate, the Senate should pass it in short order, and by a vote as nearly unani­ mous as possible. If the House bill need amendment, let the amendments be con­ ceived in a non-partisan spirit, and framed with intent to make the bill more stringent. It will be an error if the anti­ trust bill be debated as a party measure. It will be an error also if it be debated for the purpose of delay or of weakening its provisions. There has been enough debate concerning trusts; that which now is needed is legislation for their sup­ pression.--Inter Ocean. . Wa^In the year 1888 the Board of Charities of New York State sent back to ifceir homes in Europe 323 crippled, blind lunatic or otherwise infirm alien paupers, The proof is on record that these 323 persons had been shipped to this country |rom their homes by the following agen­ cies: "By cities, cantons, towns and Other municipalities,49; by relatives guardians and friends, 155; by contrac­ tors, 27; by immigration societies, 'be­ nevolent' organizations and associations 92." This is the record for one year in One state, but who can number or guess liow many equally unfit immigrants escaped detection and have passed intx^ • the life of the Republic to debase its intel­ ligence and defile its blood ? I®" Another instance of how our immi­ gration laws restrict immigration in de­ tail and permit it to flow in in mass was afforded at Philadelphia last weel^ Two British ships brought in 1,189 immi­ grants of whom probably 50 per cent were of a desirable quality, but all, with the except ion of five Hungarian laborers, were permitted to land. These were de­ tained under the contract labor law, as they were under contract to work in a coal mine. Some pf these days the peo­ ple of the United States will understand that this form of restriction only keeps out the worthy and industrious, while the worthless and vagabond classes of Europe come in by the million. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--A number of good citizens of our neighborhood, Dis­ trict No. 10, having been vilely slandered by & hired scribler in the Woodstock Democrat, and the proprietor of that sheet refusing to allow space to answer said slanderers, we humbly beg a small space in your valuable paper to partially show up these vipers in human form, who with their vile tongues prey upon com­ munity and attempt to pass themselves off as respectable people. With your per­ mission to proceed we will be as brief as ^possible this time. We should judge by the war-cry let out in the Democrat of May 9th by the Clan- na-Gael that the coat must have fitted for they seem to have put it on very readily. We should judge by their first issue that they possess no intelligence but weTknow they possess a character like a rotten egg. They claim it is the duty of every Citizen to tell the truth, let it expose who it will. We agree with them there, and had the Clan-na-Gael done so in their first epistle we should not have been called upon to. indite this communication now. They have lied about and abused their betters long enough, and deserve, as they will receive, a thorough showing up before we get 'through with them. The first lie is where they claim that Kimball would have only seven votes where Willis would have eight. Now then, if that were true would they have been a tie after losing one of their votes and running the old mare after another? We think not. Seigert's vote was chal­ lenged on the ground that he was .not a citizen of the United States. Now then they claim he came to this country ten years ago, was sixteen years old when he came, and he scud right there he had never taken out naturalization papers. So they knew he was not a voter when they led him up to the polls. Who was attempting to perpetrate fraud, Mifi "TaxPayer?" The great trouble with "Tax Payer and his friends is that they beat them­ selves, not having brains enough to com prehend the situation, and after drawing lots and winning proposing to draw over again and getting beaten. Mr. "Tax Payer," before you allow your Clan-na- Gael friends to expose themselves in print again, coach them a little, and teach them the use of the common Eng­ lish language. Lying, deceit, and dirty, low billingsgate is their fort, and it is hard for them to rise above it. These wonderfully sensitive individuals talk about making trouble between neighbors. They must have more re­ spect for their neighbors than they had when they accused them of stealing their apples, oats, cabbages, melons, hickory nuts, etc. Do they deny these charges? Why did not this wonderful moral indi­ vidual, who is so afraid of injuring the feeling^ of his neighbors, tell his hired scribbler how he accused a neighbor of selling clover seed that was not his own to buy whisky with? And this neighbor to a man that has more principle and more decency than the whole family, old and young, that were lying about him. As for the old gentleman spoken of we don't wish to protect him as we think him quite capable of taking care of him self against all thieves, thugs, despera­ does and drunken dead beats, that live between Boone creek and the school house. Furthermore he says he expects to live to come down that hill a great many times, even if he has to walk over a half dozen male and female renegades. Now, Mr. Editor, for fear we are tres­ passing on your space too much, we will close for this time, with a warning to "Tax Fayer" and his friends that as they live in glass houses they had better not throw stones. A little true history of days not long ago might not be uninter­ esting reading. We have the facts, can prove them, and shall not hesitate to tell them should occasion require, and show to the public these slander-mongers in their true light. Half of the truth has not been told.

The measure is known as the "Anti-l£inker- ton" bill and prohibits corporations from hiring loafers to shoot down labor­ ers who are demanding an increase of wages. The bill is supported by strong argument that cannot fail to have great infiuenc^in tlie assembly. The regularly organized police, backed by the State troops, are for the protection eft corpora­ tions as well as individuals and the resort to imported "detectives armed with Win­ chesters is Jiardly in accordance with our institutions. 1ST" Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade was lower Monday.

I®" Heavy forest fires have lately been devastating the timbered portions of Michigan and Wisconsin, the first named State suffering very heavily. Those who have never witnessed forest fires have little idea of their terrible nature, but trip through a region which has been burned over will give some conception of their severity. In the recent fires the flames extended in an almost unbroken line across the upper central portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan, destroy­ ing forests, lumber piles, villages, or whatever came in their pathway, and wei€ altogether unprecedented in magni tude. With the wind in the right direc­ tion this region would have been treated to a smoke bath greater than that of 1871, during the forest sin and Michigan just nHHv the great fire in Chicago. t^On Thursday last the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad discharged all the switchmen and switch bossee in the Chica­ go yards, and filled their places with new men. The reason.assigned was that the men has become captious, unreasonable and unjust in their demands on trivial points, to such an exnent that the com' pany could not stand it any longer. It is a wise mother that knows her own son. Queen Victoria agrees to pay the Prince of Wales' debts only on con dition that H. It.

Maternal confidence is not so conspicious as long-heabedne«B in this proviso. & t0TA humorous member of the Domin ion parliament lrom Nova Scotia credited with the intention of inviting New England to join the Dominion.

The following- is a clipping from the AMERICAN FARM NEWS for March, 1891. A "Feringi*' Implement. "It is a common spying that there Is mighty little (lifierence betwixt twee- dle-dutn and tweedle-dee. Neither is thvre any striking difference between the Dumerous sul«y cultivators now in general use. The farmer lias discover­ ed (no matter what the claim of the manufacturer] that 6ulky cultivators ayerage about the same. In Hindoo the work "lertngi' means "something different." And it affords the Ameri­ can Farm News pleasure to record the fact that there is at last in the market a regular feringi in the way of a Culti­ vator--something entirely different from auything which the tiller of the soil has ever before bad presented to his notice. We refer to the KrauS Sulky Cultivator. This new cul­ tivator is just as much ahead of the eld etyle cultivator as an electric street car is ahead of a mule team. The KrauS is the only cultivator ever manufactured which can be moved In any and all directions including the shovels by foot pressure. It has pivot axle and its action is so quick that it Is no trick at all to dodge an obstruction. The shovels are held to their work by the^ machine itself and not by the exer­ tions of the driver. It is impossible to slip on hill sides and it is so perfect ly simple, so readily adjusted and so easily operated, that a twelve-year-old boy can perform the labor of a man. The heavy-weight editor mounted the Kraus the other day and be was ao tickled with It that be ordered one for the American Farm Netvs ex­ perimental farm, and he proposes to ride it hhnself just for fun. For really It is fun to operate it compured to the back-breaking, side-aching, leg>weary old-fashioned culivator. One trial will convince any Intelligent man that the Kraus Sulky Cultivator is the best whlcti human genius has in­ vented. A description of it is Iqp- poesible. It must be seen to be appre- elated. Any farmer In any community with a Kraus to exhibit ean sell enough cultivators to bis neighbors in twenty-four hours to pay for bis own."
