Many g^ood words are being said in-re­ gard to Governor Fifer in every part of the State, which only goes to show how popular he has become with the people, and although the ambitious and jealous would-be politicians are doing their best to defeat his renomination, by secret in­ trigue and otherwise, the people will stand by him, and at their primaries will insist that having been a good and faithful servant in the past, tried and never found wanting, he shall continue for the next four years to occupy the Gubernatorial chair he has honored so well. As has been truly said the State of Illi­ nois never bad a Governor who has giv­ en it better administration of its affairs than its present one. It is safe to say "that no man in the history of the State has more carefully managed the business of the State, the common every day af­ fairs that make up the work of the exec­ utive officer, than Gov. Fifer. His ap­ pointments to office have been of good men, and have pleased a larger propor­ tion of the people than is common, and his attention to the details of his office has been unflagging." His speech at Chicago before the as­ sembled Republicans of the State, on Thursday * last, had the ring of the true metal, as has every speech he has made for the pn«f fnnr years, and which has en­ deared him in the hearts of every patri­ otic citizen of the State. We believe we speak the truth when we say that McHenry county is practically solid for the renomination of Governor Fifer. True, a few malcontents at the county-seat who would fain make out­ siders believe they carry the vote of McHenry county in their vest pocket, are playing "Good Lord and Good Devil," while secretly trying to knife every Fifer man who will not acknowledge their as­ sumed power, but the people know them and their methods too well to be deceived and will keep right on "sawing wood," leaving them to get into the band wagon or hang on to the rear, as they see fit. It will make no difference any. way. The people's choice for Governor will be PRIVATE JOSEPH W. FIFER. This the PLAINDEALEU confidently predicts and will work faithfully to that end from now until the Convention in May, and should our predictions prove true thus far, until the polls close in November. The Just Cause of War. ®"!?,flle Chicago Times is of opinion that a war with Chili would cost a great deal of money, that it might extend over much title, and that it would unprofitable in results. As to its first proposition the Times is quite right. War is a costly undertaking. As to its second proposi­ tion, it may be right; it is for no man to measure exactly thg resisting power of an untried foe. As to its third proposi­ tion, it is wholly wrong. The one price­ less possession of a nation is its honor; this would be maintained, even if the ' event of war were against us. The man who strives to vindicate the honor of bis mother at the peril of his life is honora­ ble, even if he lose his life in the attempt He who does not strive to vindicate the honor of his mother is base, though he should save millions of dollars and his life by his cowardice. "The republic," said Cicero, "is the mother of us all," and this clause of the Roman creed is part of the faith of America. It is to be hoped that there will be no war. Chili has not a foot of land that this Republic covets, has not a dollar of which this country would despoil it, has not a vessel that this nation desires to capture. That Chili may grow rich and populous, that it may en joy a stablegov­ ernment, and that schools and news­ papers may multiply within its borders • is the wish of the people of the United States. But since certain seaman of the United States have been maimed and have died on account of injuries inflicted by a Chili­ an mob, of which uniformed officials of that republic were part, apology to this Nation and recompense to its maimed citizens and to the family of its slain ones is due. It is a due that cannot go unen­ forced without loss of the National honor and whether the Times believes it or no, that is held by most Americans to be the thing that must be be preserved at all costs and at all hazards. Indeed the preservation of National honor has come to be considered as almost the only just cause of war.--later Oce&n- 19" The Democratic House of Represen­ tatives at Washington has already plac­ ed itself upon the record of penuriousness in the name of economy, by refusing to •ote a dollar to transport the supplies donated by great hearted people to re- lei ve the famine stricken sufferers in Rus­ sia This is a genuine sample of Demo­ cratic economy; reveling in all the delica ciew and luxuries the National Capital affords, well fed--better than they deserve --comfortably housed and in the receipt of better salaries than they could have earned at home, the bucolic Democratic majority in the lower house of Congress rears upon its haunches and squeals "economy," while starving millions are crying for bread, in a foreign land and our people are willing to banish it. iVThe Republican State Central Com­ mittee met in Chicago on Thursday and decided to hold the State convention at Springfield on May 4th. Representative Chn«. A. Partridge, of Waukegan was alerted secretary of the committee to suc­ ceed tbe late Daniel Shepard. BRATZXTO VXJTBR Whence arise* the desire to defeat the re-nomination of Gov. Fifer? What is the real motive of this rattling, disjointed opposition to his renomination? The cream in this cocoanut is not hard to find; it is not the rank and file of Illinois Republicans, those who act from disinter­ ested motives, who wish to see Governor Fifer defeated. The people are for Fifer; especially is this true of the laboring peo­ ple. Even the loudest enemies of the Governor admit that fully three-quarters of the people are entirely satisfied with Filer's administration and hope to see him his own successor. They know he has given them an administration as clean, able and efficient as any they ever had. The people say this when they talk. They are not moving in this matter. A few men only--a clique of the genus politician--these and no others, are just now hunting high and low to get a man to "beat Fifer." So far their efforts have not been a "howling success." Why do these politicians want to beat Fifer? Is it the public interests they have at heart? Is it the welfare of the party they are looking alter? Nobody in Illinois is green enough to believe any such thing. These men are out and want to get in. That is the whole cause of the the trouble. The present political dispensation does not provide for them that share of the "pap" which they think their lofty patriotism and high services ought to command. Are not the efforts of these politicians becoming very ridiculous if not monot­ onous? They first turned their eyes to the comptroller's office at Washington, and implored the statesman of Pike to come forward and beat Fifer. He came Illinois and went over the State for three weeks. Wherever he went he informed himself as to how the people were satis­ fied'with Fifer's administration, and whether there was any real demand among the people for another candidate. At the conclusion of the journey Mr. Matthews was satisfied. He saw the people were for Fifer and withdrew grace­ fully from the race. Since then the search for somebody has continued. Men who have no thought of being candidates, and who are themselves personally for Fifer, are constantly kept in the newspapers as probable candidates. Cannon has been talked of; Henderson has been men­ tioned ; Uncle Dick Oglesby has been ap­ proached; Gen. Post has been urged to go in; the qualifications of Hopkins have1 been set forth; "Long" Jones' qualifica­ tions have been set forth; Clark, of Mat- toon, has been firmly placcd in the sad­ dle; Attorney General Hunt has an­ nounced that he is a candidate, and now Mr. Lincoln, the present minister to Great Britain, who would not be a candi­ date, is being iudustriousiy mined Of 3S available. If the great zeal and industry thus be­ ing put forth to defeat an able and effi­ cient servant of the people were in some way applied in a legitimate manner to the public service, it would be a great boon to the State. Such zeal is worthy of a higher cause; and we greatly fear the people at large will not appreciate it. The people are for Fifer; everybody knows they are for him; their estimate and appreciation of him will not be changed to suit the interests of a few pol­ iticians.--Moline Dispatch.

For instance, I was instructing my class one day in the events just pre­ ceding the revolutionary war, and after I had read and explained tbe lesson I began to ask questions about it. I asked one boy to game one of the causes that led to the fft volt of the colonies against Great Britain. 'Tea,' he answered. That was all right, so I said to another, a col­ ored boy, by the way, 'Name another cause.' After a pause he replied, 'Cof­ fee.' 17 "On the same day I gave my boys a short talk about Columbus, and then asked, 'Who can tell me the nationality of Columbus!'

Asa mark of respect for the valiant and heroic services rendered by the brave volunteer soldiers during the war 18(51- 18G5, it is earnestly recommended that commanding officers of national guard organizations furnish funeral escorts or firing parties at the burial of veteran sol­ diers, sailors <ar marines whenever these may be applied for by local Grand Army posts, or by the relatives of the deceased. In thus honoring the courageous men who formed the bulwark for the preserva­ tion of our Union in the days of its direst necessity, the National Guardsman will honor himself and the service to which he belongs. The duty so performed should be one of love and gratitude, should be attended by. every member of the organ­ ization who can possibly be present, and should be marked by that deep and rev­ erent solemnity which such an occasion demands. By order of tbe Commander-in-chief. J. N. REEX-E, Adjutant-General. Captain Ed. Harlan, "the Egyptian from Egypt," as he is known among the comrades of Illinois, has been announced as a candidate for the position of Depart­ ment Commander for 1892. Camrade Harlan is very popular, is a wide-awak thorough business man and well known as a bustler, and his candidacy means that if his opponent has any thoughts of winning that he will have to be on the move early and late.

These words are very familiar to our readers, as not a day passes without the report of the sudden death of some prom­ inent citizen. The e explanation is heart disease. Therefore beware if you have any of the following symptoms: Short breath, pain in side, smothering spells, swollen ankles, asthmatic breathing, weak and hungry spells, tenderness in shoulder or arm, fluttering of heart or irregular pulse. These symptoms mean heart disease. The most reliable remedy is Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, which has saved thousands of lives.
