We eineerely fcroafc tfoat our Democratic friends may succeed not only In main- f&ininff itat present prosperity, but- in adding to it; but it cannot ge done by carrying ont their platform. I®-We fail to perceive one single icood reason why the present Republican Sen­ ate should help the Democrats of the next Congress by allowing bills to pass that wonld have been defeated had the resalt of the election been different. Nail the Republican flag to the mast and let it go down only when the ship does. f8T Majorities may be misled and vote wrong5 bat all the same they rule in this country. The majority has expressed its desire to try ft low tariff; let the Dem­ ocratic see that they get it without any unnecessary delay, no matter if it does paraly se some American industries and add an extra hundred thousand or so to the tramps on the road. 1ST V ill the Democratic Congress, in addition to tinkering with the tariff dare to authorize an era of iake money, by re­ pealing the tax on money issued by state banks? It was provided in its national platform, but little things like promises have never been considered binding by tbo8« who have in the past controlled the Democratic party. H9"1Majorities rule, outside of the Southern States, but majorities are not necessarily on the right side. We believe the principles upheld by the Republican party to be right, and that the results of the fonr years of Democratic rule will convince the men who have been mis­ takenly led into supporting that party of their error, by making them feel it at th^r most sensitive point--the pocket. writ was not "Rum, Romanism and RebellioB," but it is Hopkins, Hitt and Henderson, in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Congressional Districts. There is no break in the lines in this stronghold of Republicanism, here in the State of Illinois. These three Btrong districts are always represented by three stalwart Re­ publicans, and our representation in the Democratic Congress of 1893 will be one that no Republican need be ashamed of. They are old members, and are pretty well acquainted with the "tricks that are dark," in a Democratic Congress.--Ro- , cbelle Herald. Either Fibbers or (towards. ; The Herald says that "the Democrats ttan't want an extra session, the people don't want one. but - * * the Republi­ cans do want the Democrats to call one/' The Republicans want the Democrats to have sand and courage enough for once in the history of their party to be hon­ est. They carried the country* on the pledge that they would give us free trade. Having succeeded they are now trying to evade the issue they themselves made. They are either fibbers or cowards, or else they are honest men who will lose no <:.#«M|B.Mfilllng their pledges. The Same Old. Party. Brooklyn Tiroes: The Democratic party does not change in its characteristic any more than it does in its politics. This fact is strikingly illustrated by the fol­ lowing reuiiuitscence oi the campaign of 1844, as told by an old Republican in a letter to the Rochester Post-Express: "I feel very much as a Whig did after the election when Clay ran against Polk. A Whig and a Democrat were talking about the result, when the Whig said: 'Now you have gained the election, 1 hope you will carry out your principles to the letter.' The Democrat said: 'That in the way with you Whigs; you want to ruin the country.'" - *• iipou Mi ^lrsonal or official record. It ishl^ll tor his friends to see him go down, but ieli as a soldier falls when fighting in an open field against an ambushed and stealthy foe. Slanders and falsehoods were rained thick upon him, but he met them bravely, dodged nothing and ask­ ed no favors. He contended against po­ litical assassins on every band, but be stood in the light and defied them to meet him fairly. The eharge that he sought to abridge parental rights in the umiier oi the education or cnudren of the State, was as unjust and false an accusa­ tion as was ever brought against a pub­ lic official. His whole private life, where he was known as the friend of every race and class, his career as a soldier fighting for the liberty of the oppressed and the equality of all, and his every act as a public official previous to and after his election as Governor, gives the lie to the charge. But it was repeated again and again with all the rancor and emphasis of partisan and malice till those who had no opportunity of knowing better were persuaded it was true by those who knew it was a falsehood, and who used it alone for its effect in gaining votes. The idea thet Joseph W. Fifer in his capacity of Governor of Illinois would deliberately favor a law that- would discriminate against any class of the people, against any race or creed in the matter of the ed­ ucation of their children, or in anything else, is something no honest man who knows him believe for one minute. Those who have been deceived by politicians into such a belief will be undeceived as certainly as time lasts. Time indeed will be a great vindicator foi* Mr. Fifer. It will iashion a judgment slow but sure, accurate and just and that judgment will accord him the honor of being as clean handed and pure hearted a Governor as Illinois ever had. It will be remembered by the people that he appealed to their better judgment while his opponent rode iQiO pOffci OS uiio»V|>i t prii'iaiiOiip, nioiiu- er and falsehood. Mr. Fifer can infinitely better afford to go to defeat bravely and manfully than his opponent could afford to win by a ^false and misleading issue. The outgoing Governor of Illinois can better await the judgment of time than the incoming Governor. He sprung from the people, has always been in tall sym­ pathy with them and will return to them with his self-respect and with the affec­ tion and admiration of those who have known best his unequal battle against fortune, He went into office poor and will go out poor but he will have a rich legacy in the frindship of those who have confided in his courage, his integrity and patriotism and who will trust him still. --Bkmmington Pantograph. ml • * Kay The south evidently meansachange of, policy whatever the north, expects, Henry Watterson, at the democratic jubilation in Louisville, said that he look­ ed for the fulfillment of democratic doc­ trine, not darkened by the shadow of one single protective duty. That is honest and square. There are no doughfaces in the south. They have, not voted on a false basis. And will the south control the democratic administration? They have never yet failed so to do. If they 4o not there will be such a fight in the democarttc camp as that which broke it into three pieces in 1860. The responsi­ bility which the election has has put upon them with its differing promises indiffer- pfe'.ent sections is not one easily faced. The country will wait with interest to see .What they will do with it. What Will They Bo P Well, the Democrats have won a fa­ mous victory. Now what will they do with it? What will they do with the tariff? What will they do with the national banking system ? What will they do with the soldiers' pensions? What will. they do with the public school system? What will they do with the railroads and other corporations? \0ha' will they do with thesolid south? What will they do with the negroes? v^hat will they do with foreign immi­ gration? What will they do with the state chari­ table institutions? What will they do with convict labor? What will they da with the public lands? What will they do with the army, the navy and the national guard? What will they do for Ireland? What will they do with the Germans ? What will they dk> with the office-seek ere? " . What will they do with the anarchists? What will they do with the World's Fair? What will they do anything and every thing? This is a rather formidable catechism We doubt whether they can answer any question in tne entire list. They will do little what they have promised to do. The only thing certain is if they do not commit numberless acts of folly it will be because the responsi bility that eomes * itb authority renders them less reckless than they have been in the past. We know what we will do. We sball hold them responsible for all droughts, earthquakes, comets, fires, epidemics floods, eclipse, failures of crops and other calamities that may occur while they continue in power --Springfield Journal. Modern Wotattum or JfeHtary Oo . JKsrrBfcsn® HsxdajJCBS. Aa jcur :4P*te to the Head Cainp at Omaha, 1 beg io report that your interests were fopriiOuted by neighbor Albert D. Elli­ son, of Marengo, and myself. That there was a four days session of hard work, with a full representation* from all the different states. The works of the ad­ ministration were fully investigated, and compared with the past, and such an im­ provement and advancement in the busi­ ness management of our order had been made that by unanimous consent Head Consul Xorthcut and Secretary Hawes were reelected The Board of Directors were nleo reelected with very little oppo­ sition. It will be remembered by all Woodmen thatTat the session of the Head Camp, at Springfield, two years ago, that even the existence of the Modern Woodmen of America was doubted by many. That everything was trembling in the balance But by the eneVgetic and businesslike management of our head offi­ cers, order has taken the place of confus­ ion, and in the place of a chaotic condi­ tion has been established a well organ­ ized and systematic system of business. At the last head camp the order was al­ most disrupted, but by the election of new officers and a wise change being1 made in the by-laws, confidence was re­ stored, and as Valley Camp will remem- 4?er, I reported that ouS* order started on a new and safe era* of growth. In proof of that opinion I am now able to report that since that meeting, up to the 31st of October last, there has been ad­ ded to our number 38,000 members. During this time we have paid $1,100,- 000 to the beneficiaries of deceased mem­ bers. Most of thin has gone to widows and minor children. The officers elected at our last head camp found on entry upon their duties a deficit in the general fund of f<i,8(i6.86, together with the ex­ penses of that head camp of over $22,- 000. making a total of $29,132.77 in­ debtedness on their hands without a dollar in the bank. Here was manifest­ ed the spirit of the loyal Woodmen. Our officers, the Directors, asked the members for $1 each, and every member of the then 40,000 came to the rescue and we began to float with the life-boat in sight. We are out of debt to-day, in­ stead of the present head camp leaving its expenses for the next year to pay, everything was paid on sight, and instead of an expense of $22,000 for 40,000 members, we have a less amount for 3,000 members and money in the bank. We have now offered to us a fine and valuable lot in the business portion of the city of Rock Island (free), upon which to build suitable buildings for Head Camp Officers. This offer was made by the improvement association of Rock Island, and was accepted by ex­ pression of head camp. Several changes were made in the laws of our order, and will be reported as soon as the commit­ tee on laws can complete and report. The committee work of our order was ex­ emplified by Head Consul Northcut, some changes having been made from the orig­ inal. Some addition of territory hap been made. Large cit ies are excluded as before, to avoid epidemics. Want of space prevents me from reporting much that was done, but I wiil, at the request of any camp in the county, visit you and report such information as 1 may be possessed of. Now, neighbors, we have the safest, the cheapest, the best frater­ nal benefit organization in the world. Let every member go at work, take good risks, thereby making yourself safe and insurance cheap. Yours to Command, • H. C. MEAD, ',.. Valley Camp, West MeHenry, III. I®* Some of the men who aided electing Cleveland should stop rejoicing long enough to ask themselves why the Canadian ministers .announced in tbeir churches the Democratic victory and stated it to be a cause for Canadian thanksgiving; also why there is so much rejoicing in Europe. f V-r tSf It is all nonsense to say that the tariff question is dead. It will still be discussed, but the conflict will be removed as between the republican and demo­ cratic parties and will be fought out in- fide the democratic ranks. The two ideas one expressed in the platform and the other torn out of the platform to give it place, are as antagonistic as the ideas of republican and democratic parties and the fight between them will be as closely contested. Will the result be the same as at Chicago, when the south in the person of Henry Watterson, tore all the protection out of the platform and inserted free trade pure and simpel? The | .e same battle will be fought in congress (hat was fought in Chicago. Will the re- „ Suit be the same? It looks as if it could aot be different. But mark this. It will tmnf the democratic party in pieces and i a new adjustment of forces for the prudential campaign, in wqich will be ao seetional solicitude - A reported outbreak of cholera at Hel metta, N. J., created much excitement in that vicinity. Investigation showed that, the disease was not cholera but a violent dysentery which is almost as se­ vere and dangerous as the cholera. Mr. Walter Williard, a prominent m«rchant of Jameeburg, two miles from Hel metta says Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy has given great satis­ faction in the mo t severe cases of dysen tery. It is certainly one of the best things ever made. For sale by G. W Beeley. W. McHenrr; 1. A. Barrus, Volo L. M. Fenne, Wauconda, druggists. IT SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOUSE J. B.
