rgONESDAY. APRIL 5, 1898. J.VAN8LTKE, Editor WTOti the Elgin Board of Trade Mon day, the demand for butter exceeded the aupply, with prices the eame an last week; 6,729 pounds for 30 cents, 3,000 for 80Jf cento; total sales, $2,923. A year ago the price was 25 cent*, iST'The Richmond Gazette ssQra: "The Republican voters of McHenry county are requested to remember that the friends of Postmaster Aldrich of Rich­ mond, intend to present bis name to the next convention as a candidate for County Clerk. Assurance of support have been received from all sections of the county and his supporters will enter determined to win. We shall ore to say on the subject in iues of the Gazette r. Murphy, the agent of Secre­ tary Jerry Rusk to introduce corn into Europe, gave a corn meal to the royal­ ties at Copenhagen, Denmark, the other evening, served with a speech. Mr Murphy's speeches on the subject of corn are said to have been more seductive than the distillations from that cereal. At any rate he has? d,o^e good work and the corn from this country have increased greatly. It would be a mistake to recall him. Let the johnny cake continue to conquer the world. 1^*Commander-in-chief Weissert, of the G. A. R , has issued a circular relative to memorial day. He asks the posts to begin preparations early, and says that it is especially appropriate and desire- able that the Woman's Belief 'Corps, Sons of Veterans and Schools should bf active participants on Memorial day and the Sunday services preceding it. He asks that all flags be hoisted on Memo­ rial day at half-mast, according to the direction of a resolution of the grand en­ campment in 1878. 10"Says the Trbune: President Cleve­ land and his party are at swords' pqints on the silver question. There is no longer room to doubt the fact. The Cabinet is strongly opposed to free coin­ age, while the finance committee of the senate has been framed as if in express intention to defeat the presidents wish­ es. Antagonism on this point is likely to go far and deep. It may even mean a disruption of the party before the next congressional election. It is evident that the president is willing to defer action on the tariff until the outcome of the silver controversy is known. 1ST The Aurora Express alleges that an intelligent lady of that city has made a di-covery, which she has magnani­ mously refrained from having patented, that promises to be of great value. It is the fact that people can save more than half their hard or soft coal by first sprinkling it with salt brine. The coal burns brighter and better, without soot or clogging, and goes twice as far as in its unsalted state. If salt on coal hew this effect in a small way why would it not result in a like saving when used on a large scale. In Bhort, there may be millions in the discovery to big manufac­ turing establish ment s. Attorney General Maloney seems to be thoroughy imbued with democratic "reform" ideas.

WASHINGTON, D. C. March-25,1893. The week has been productive of some pretty lively doings on the part of the Democratic Senators. Those served in the army will.remember the facility with which the Democrats who fought in gray uniforms, dodged the Republican bnllets which came from the m n clothed in blue. The facility with which the Demo­ crats are attempting to dodge some sharp shots fired from the Republican side of the Senate this weuk calls to mind those days. When the Democrats of North Dakota succeded in electing the most respectable man in their party a# Senator and sent him to Washington it was discovered that he had a record as an embezzler here in the snug sum of $(.->,000. William N. Roach is the name of this distinguished representative of the Democracy. He had only got comfort­ ably settled in hie seat in the Senate when Washingtonians recognized him as the man who, whilecaohier of the Citizen's National Bank in this city some fifteen years ago embezzled about seventy-five thousand dollars of the funds of the bank. Forsome reason unexplained he was per­ mitted to go free without prosecution, his bondsmen making good a portion of the losses of the bank and some property which he had being also turned in, so that the amount repaid was probably about one-half of the sum embezzled. The story got into the newspapers and the Republicans, supposing that the Democratic leaders would have sufficient respect for their party or its representa­ tion to refuse to allow an embezzler to sit as a member of the highest legislative body of the nation, waited for the Demo­ cratic leaders to act. Rut it seeems that they miscalculated the Democratic stand­ ard for honor and statesmanship, for no action or signs of action came from the Democratic side of the Senate. On the contrary there was such an ominous silence that it soon became evident tha t che Democrats had no intention of at­ tempting any action, but werecontent to sit along side a man of their own party with this sort of a record and recognize him as an equal and an "honorable gentleman." Finally as a last resort the Republicans felt called upon to act and a resolution of investigation was offered. This was met with an intimation by the Democrats that attacks vrculd b© made upon certain Republican Senators, whereupon one who had been named in print. Senator Power, promptly rose and demanded that investigation be made of any charge which anybody might offer against himself. Meantime the demo­ cratic members took fresh alarm over the prospect that the Roach investi­ gation might bring to the surface some questionable transactions by the "steer­ ing" committee of honorable Senators who manipulated the Dakota and other Close contests in a way as to bring Demo­ cratic votes into the Senate, and as a result there has been a large amount of lively dodging ana the resolution for an investigation still remains unacted upon. Meantime Mr. Roach sits calmly on the Democratic side refusing a word of ex­ planation or sell justification, not even offering a denial or explanation of the charges against him. President Cleveland has up to this time sent out 125 nominations to the Senate. Sixty of these have been general appoint­ ments, such as ministers, consuls, assis­ tant secretaries, heads of bureaus and cabinet officers. Out of this number about fifty have been {riven to states which voted for Cleveland and ten to states which cast their votes for Harri­ son. Of the one hundred and twenty odd appointments that have been made the Mugwumps have got a liberal allowance and Tammany has got nothing. One Tammany man was appointed by mis­ take and his appointment was annulled the moment his political affiliation was discovered. In addition to Mr. Cleve­ land's 125 appointments, heidsman Maxwell, the Fourth Assistant Post­ master General, has appointed nearly 500 fourth class postmasters and out of this number it is understood that not a single Tammany or Hill man has been recognized. To say that Tammany is not in a pleasant frame of mind, tells it but faintly. There are other Democrats in other states who are equally dissatis­ fied. The Tennessee patriots are growl­ ing loudly over the fact that a Ten- nesseean who nasneid office under several Republican administrations has been ap­ pointed Solicitor of the Treasury by Mr. Cleveland, and Ohio Democrats are equally distressed over the appointment of Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati, as a salary of $1, 800 a year. Besides this • I • . «• LIONCUW HI U. A WEN, UI Cincinnati, as ne wants a special janitor to look after Solicitor General, the most important the office and then he has a number of " wants that he thinks should be supplied at the expense of the people. It might office outside of Cabinet positions in the *ift of the administration; they say frankly that if Maxwell has been a Dem­ ocrat in the past he has been so quiet 'The purchase of a tract of land in the Blue Grass region by the society of the Red Cross is an interesting event. It is dedicated to peace, and all nations will respect it as neutral ground. There war can never come, but from it will go out, those who have no foes, to minister to the sick and wounded in the battle, or In the scourage and pestilence, or to victims of fire, flood or earthquake. Clara Barton, who is at the head of the Bed Cross society of the world, is one who should be canonized as a saint, for through two wars her executive ability has organized help for the wounded. The Red Cross on the arm, in all countries wins, respect, and is a safeguard on the battlefield of all nations. It does a noble service for humanity. ^ HENBY L. HEBTZ INJURED. ' many friends in this county, of Ex-Coroner Henry L. Hertz, of Chicago, will t>e pained to learn that he met with a serious and painful accident in that city on Tuesday last. The later Ocean says, editorially; "Mr. Henry L. Hertz, the well-known Chicago politician, met with a very serious and perhaps fatal accident yesterday. He is an athletic, alert, and strictly temperate man, but some way, in stepping from a cable car yesterday afternoon, he fell, and one of the cars passed over his ankle, crushing it so terribly that amputation was ne cessary. It is feared that he can not survive, so great was the shock to bis nerves. Mr. Herts has been a prominent figure in local politics for several years. He has been very popular. As Coroner he made a splendid record, and as can did ate for State Treasurer he made host of friends in all parts of Illinois, who will regret exceedingly to hear of his misfor tune, and will hope most earnestly that » he will recover." News from the injured man will be anxiously looked for «by host of friends in this vicinity. Evanson's special Dress Good sale, Saturday and Monday, April 8, and 10. ! / • • - : . The hveliest place in Washington dur­ ing the week has been the office of that pure and spotless anti-snapper, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell. He was selected a« a representative of the high minded, civil service reform, anti- snapper reform club. Grover-Cleveland- party-elpment in New York and the Mug­ wumps fairly danced with joy over his selection. Nevertheless he has proven the hollowness of Democratic profession of the civil service theory, for he has gone to work with coat off and ax in hand slaughtering Republicans at every turn. Despite the fact that some seven thousand fourth class post offices are now awaiting appointments because of the resignation of Republicans, he has omitted to fill these vacancies and turn­ ed his attention to slaughtering other Republicans who are still holding offices. Hundreds of official heads fall into the basket, and his list of Democratic post­ masters appointed runs now at the ratp of over a thousand a week. If he keeps on at the rate he is going there will not be a Republican postmaster left to tell the tale by the end of the first year of his service. So much for Mugwump profes- ions of civil service methods. The President has confirmed the state­ ment made in this correspondence weeks ago that he will call an extra session of congress in early autumn to consider the tariff question. Moss-backed Democrats sniff contemptuously at the tariff bill which that self-appointed committee to save the country, the Reform Club, of New York, has prepared, but neverthe­ less its chief features will be placed before Congress in a bill which Secretary Car­ lisle will have ready to crowd down their throats by September with a threat of "no offices for those who don't take the medicine." o. P. A. Carter Harrison was elected Mayor of Chicago on Tuesday by a clear majority of 16,000 over all competitors. As the bo^s sajy "that settles it."
