a-- JAY, MAY 18, 1892. '"«ar. VAJS SKLiYJECIS. • Editor. Ifir President Harrison, in reply to the it of the M. E. conference against • Chinese bill, says he thinks the cer- clanee a good thing, as it will en able the Chinese who have a right here, to bo prove and demand protection tinder it. He does not pretend to defend fil the law, but says it is a compromise and || the best that could be had. fQrThe instructions to naval officers patrolling Behring sea, are, that any vessel sealing, is to be seized, and any vessel found in possession of a sealing outfit, is liable to 'seizure. All on board i are to be held as prisoners under a penalty of $500 fine and six months' im prisonment. It is a closed sea for the present at Jeast. SS*1 There was a laws offering of but ter on the Elgin Board of Trade, Mon day. Manufacturers held out for 20 cents and all sales but one were made at this figure the same price as last week. Market steady. A number declined 19% cents and several offerings were with drawn. The sales were the largest for some weeks. The price is twoaadthree cents higher than a year ago.TTZ/". I©" The heavy rains that prevailed, last week, caused floods that were very destructive to property along the Fox, Illinois and Sangamon rivers and the loss incurred is placed at an estimate of over $1,000,000. Further west the damage done was still more extened, bridges being undermined and railroad tracks swept away, causing not only destruction of property but loss of life in Bome in- IS#* There are efforts to get up another candidate to defeat Harrison, and it is reported that Cleveland stock is shrink ing and gradually going out of sight. But for all that, such Republican con ventions as declare themselves are for Harrison and each days Democratic con ventions are for Cleveland. Putting facts in place of theories, it looks as if Harrison and Cleveland would again be the opposing candidates. 16?*Secretary Blaine's numerous and confidential friends, who have the inside information that he would accept a pres- dential nomination although he says he would not, are growing in number. The secretary must be surprised to find how many small men are posing as his confi dants, whom he does not know even by name. Mr JBlainehas been very emphat ic in his statrmeDts and probably knows his Own mind. WThe delegates-at-large from Illinois to the National Republican Convention are fine representatives of Illinois Repub licanism, and an honor to the State. The delegation is headed by Senator Cullom, with Uncle Dick Oglesby and ex Congressman Cannon to complete the big trio. The convention also did a good thing in placing miles Kehoe on the list of delegates-at-large. Mr. Kehoe is the labor interest and champion of the Na tional eight-hour law. 5 W&» Wort&S* of In a lengthy ediinri&l reviewing the events of the first day's «w?!on of the itc wiiVGation, the Inter Ocean doses with the following haAdsome compliment to Congressman Hopkins' speech. 'But Mr. Hopkins did not dwell on per sonalities, nor yet did he deal in glitter ing generalities. The burden of his speech was protection in its practical as pects. It was herein a masterly effort, worthy of MeKinley himself, or of James Q. Blaine in his best days. Facts full of vitality, and neither dry or abstruse, were marshalled in a way to rivet atten tion, persuade and enthuse. The speech commanded wrapt attention and the heartiest applause. It keyed the conven tion, not only, but the Campaign upon the right note. There is no State in the Union, not excepting Pennsylvania, in which the Republican party is more thor oughly true to the great American doc trine of protection than Illinois. It may be added that the committee on perma nent organization testified the conven tion's appreciation of this masterly speech by promptly and unanimously deciding to make the temporary organi sation the permanent organization. / Rhode Island is the first state in which a Women's Republican Association has been organized for the campaign of 1892. Article 1 of the constitution says: "The object of this association is to unite the women of this commonwealth in po litical work of social influence for the maintenance of the principles of the Re publican party in the home, in the state and in the nation." Rhode Island is to be congratulated. Great good can be done by the influence of women in politics even if their votes are not permitted to go into the ballot-boxes. MfThe president has signed the Chi nese exclusion bill, which requires a Chinaman to be registered and show his certificate in order to remain in this conntry. It is not the infamous Geary measure, but it is not a generous or a fur one. Senator Sherman would not vote for it, but neither did he vote against it. The president seems to have signed it to preserve some laws on the subject, all other restrictive laws having expired by limitation. At the same time he is out of the trap, the 'Ifenocratic House set for him. tSf In our travels around this country we have often been mistaken for Methodist minister, a drummer, a horse jockey, and many other strange charac ters, and we have borne the same with meekness and forbearance, but never until last week were we ever called a Democrat, and we draw the line right here. We have a patient and peaceful disposition, but we emphatically protest against this insult. We are led to make these remarks from receiving three col , nmns ol Plates, containing the pedigree of Altgeld, the Democratic candidate for Governor, written by himself, with a re quest to publish for the good of the cause. When we wish to publish this gentleman's pedigree we should prefer to write it ourselves, as we opine it would then be more true to. life. Now we wish to say right here to this Democratic can didate who thinks he is running for Gov ernor, (but won't be known in the race after November,) you can charge us with All the mean things you can think of but don't even whisper that we are a Demo crat. We won't stand it and we are a John L. Sullivan in our wrath. s- «*, JJPRCUS, MUSEUM, S5YPTIAN C&B4VAV, > - • ,JL, . if. .

The British lion may roar until his teeth fall out, but it will not prevent the two finest steamships in his auxiliary navy--the City of Paris and the City of New York--flying "old glory." - - The river and harbor bill, like Rip's last drink, did not count, in the demo cratic cheese-paring, * The indications are that the New York anti-Hill convention, soon to be held at Syracuse, will be a sort of a monkey and parrot affair, gome Hill men will be there. 7 Hello there! It will be curious, won't it, if this Congress turns out to be a billion dollar concern, as the New York Sun says it will? California whiskey must be a little worse than the Eastern article, or that story of a drunken 'Frisco stevedore throwing himself into the firebox of a tugboat to get cooled off, was a "fake." The Louisana Democratic, factions having become reconciled, a lot of rifles and amunition may be purchased cheap by some would-be Mexican or South American revolutionist. Hawaiian, like Canadian annexation, may come in time but there is no occa sion to hurry either of them. The jingling of the silver bells la Con gress again has put the Democratic so- called leaders into a state closely borden- ing on hysteria. Up to the time of goingto press, Henry Watterson's withdrawal of Cleveland and Hill as candidates for the Demo cratic nomination has not been 0. K.'d by either of the gentlemen most con cerned. Postmaster-General Wanamaker is to give his views on the establishment of a postal telegram system to the Commer cial Club, of Boston, on the 21st. in spite of opposition, Mr. Wanamaker clings to his ideas on this subject. A life time job at f10,000 a year, is what makes Chief Justice Fuller look with indifference at the proposition to give him the empty honor of the Demo cratic Presidential nomination. He lived too long in Chicago to be caught in any such snap. The Reading coal combine may result in killing, at least, one Democratic "dark horse" candidate for the Presidential nomination--Gov. Pattison, of Pennsyl vania. The convicted female proprietor of the New York dive, which was exposed by Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, says that she and all of the women of her class are hence forth down on the Presbyterian Church. Next. » There has been lots of rot printed as to the goodness or badness of the modern novel. The modern novel--the success ful one--is neither better nor worse than the people who make it successful by buying and reading it, and it is safe to assume that it will be the same with the novel of the future. Is it because of her recent experience with an English husband that Mrs. Frank Leslie wrote: "God bless the American man?" Even as great a man as Gladstone may find it dangerous to have deliber- ly offended the wage-workers of England There is said to be more money idle this Spring than for a long time. For the benefit of our creditors it may be stated that none of it is in our possession. If the cable news that Bismarck and the Kaiser are about to make friends, shall turn out to be true, there are men in Germany who will wish they had never been born. Bismarck hesitated to attack single-handed a crown; but be only wants the power to go for his lesser enemies.
