MH3&DAY, MARCH 14, 1894. •J* VASf SLYKB, Kdltor. MP*The New York Sua refers to the re­ mit of the late election in that state "M a tidal ware of disgust." The Sua i" pfty1" correct. ^ , IB* Butter on the Elgin Board of I** Trade Monday was active, 16,200 lbs. selling at 22c, 3,000 at 22%c,; last week's lb;' prices, 22c and 23c; last year, 26c and 27 HP" The Hon. John C. Donnelly, of Woodstock, has been appointed Deputy United States Marshal at Chicago, by Cleveland's new appointee. We presume the Hon. John thinks half a loaf is better than none. But what about "our Frank?" ^ 10"The democratic New York Sao says: The three hundred and sixty-sixth day i of Mr. Cleveland's second term finds the president in the Dismal Swamp, and the Democracy in the indigo depths of discouragement, if not dispair. That is the balance sheet of the year's business. It has been a sorry year for Democracy. W i &' . MT Democratic reviewers of the first year of their party's supremacy point with pride to the repeal of the election lams! Protection of the ballot with­ drawn and paralyzing war upon Ameri­ can labor and prosperity! Only the dem- ocarti"party would find in these achieve­ ments something to be proud of. March 4th President Cleveland completed the first year of his term as ..president. It has been one of the sad- dt' yL^ d most disastrous years in the histJty of the country. The fact that the country has got to endure three years more of his administration makes contemplation even worse than retro­ spection. IV Eighteen months ago twenty-two furnaces in one county in Ohio shot their soot and smoke into the clear sky, while the hum of machinery and busy laborers and mechanics made things lively and active. To-day the atmosphere is clear of aoot and smoke, twenty-one of the twenty-two furnaces being idle. The fires are out and the mechanics and la­ borers are vainly hunting work or sitting aronnd dazed and stoical at the calami­ ties that have come upon them. Several of these now smokeless furnaces are lo­ cated in the once thriving town oi Jack, son. The last mill there shut down last Sunday, adding 100 men more to the ar­ my of the idle. - A. MxaaiQj&MMt mxHo The town of Gs aveeend is in mourning. The great and good John Y. McKane, Sunday school superintendent and Poo Bah of the municipality of Coney Island is a plain, ordinary convict in Sing Sing prison, and there is sorrow galore. It is a little difficult, at first, to under­ stand the peculiar influence which enabled such an arrant hypocrit and all-around crook as this man McKane, to rise to an exalted eminence, even in a borough as corrupt as Coney Island Is known to have been since the obscure clam fishery was transformed into a veritable Vanity Fair. The inhabitants of Coney Island from the humblest three-card monte fakir to the pastor of the church in which the criminal played the role of religious instructor to the young, now regard him as a martyr, and look upon his con­ viction and imprisonment as no less than an outrage. There can be but one ra­ tional solution to the problem. The moral sense of thecomuaunity of clam-dig­ gers, originally not far advanced over that of the earned increment of their somewhat sedentary occupation, has not been improved by the years they have devoted to swindling unwary pleasure- seekers who strayed from the main land. In this latter occupation they were train­ ed by their patron saint, McKane. He was so thoroughly identified with their material and spiritual welfare that they finally came to believe that he was the pprsonifieation of everything which made for the present possession of gin mills and wheels of fortune, and the hope for mansions in the skies in the hereafter. The eminently fair trial accorded Mc Kane demonstrated that he was a dan­ gerous and accomplished criminal; that he hesitated at nothing which would ac­ complish his objects. He debauched the sufferage, defied the laws and bossed his Sunday school as he bossed every other enterprise on the dirty little Island. The exhibition of members of a Christian church canonizing a man of this charac­ ter is tiresome, to be sure, but it is not without certain value as an object lesson which is too obvious to require a "dia­ gram for its elucidation. By the way, what is the matter with sending a corps of self denying mission­ aries to Coney Island ? A certain definite amount of regeneration has been accom­ plished in lands which were nearly, but not quite as benighted, and the experi­ ment might be worth the enormous sac­ rifice it would unquestionably entail. ISP" The Boston Journal recalls the fact that the great expounder of the con. stitution, Daniel Webster, contended that one of the chief, if not the chief pur­ pose for which the Revolutionary was was fought, and our independence won, was to make it possible to protect Amer- can industry against the crushing eom- ipetition of British manufacturers. It is the irony of fate that a hundred years afterward it should be deliberately pro­ posed by men who call themselves Americans to take a foreign commercial yoke again upon their necks, after a full trial of the policy of protection has raised the United States to the place of thefore- "most manufacturing nation on the I©-In his masterly address to the jury' in the wearying Coughlin case, Attorney Bottum gave utterance to this powerful oratorical presentment of a most singu­ lar fact: "It was indignity enough that they slew the IriBh physician. To strike „ him down in the full vigor of his man­ hood, clothed in the habiliments of a citizen, that would have been indignity enough. But to strip off his clothes and cast his bleeding body in a sewer--only the hand of an enemy could have done that. They stripped him like a male­ factor, but they did not dare to touch the sacred symbol of thechurch. Strange wonderful superstition! Wonderful working of the human mind that could pot out the light in the inner temple and yet respect that which was a symbol only. They did not dare lay their sacri- ligious and blood-stained hands upon the symbol of the church, and yet they did not fear to violate the holy, the •acred, the priceless boon, that which i higher than any church--the life." ONLY TWO AGAINST ANNEXATION. The main report and the two supple­ mental reports of the Senate committee on Hawaiian affairs are now before the public. The committee consists of nine members, five Democrats and four Re­ publicans, and seven of. them declare ex­ plicitly tha Liliuokalani was the author of her own downfall, that the revolution was caused by her wrong acts and viola tions of the constitution " which she had sworn to support, that Minister Stevens had no part in any conspiracy to over­ throw the monarchy, that the landing of troops was right and for a legitimate purpose, and that the provisional gov ernment has a valid existence and is en­ titled to the recognition it has received These are the good points of the report, and it is to be regretted that partisan pressure restrained Senator Morgan from joining the Republican Senators in the sound and logical conclusions which they reached in their separate report. One fact is worthy of notice. All the members of the committee but two (Sen­ ators Gray and Daniel) are in favor of annexation. Senator Morgan is on rec­ ord to this effect; the sentiments of the four Republican members, Senators Sher­ man, Frye, Dolph and Davis are well known; and Senators Butler and Turpie (Democrats) say that they are heartily in favor of the acquisition of these islands by the United States in a proper manner. Seven to two iB very good. The Amer­ ican flag will yet float over the Hawaiian Islands. The outlook is bright for the people there who wish to come under the United States government. Let them be patient and hopeful. The day is coming when the Clevelands and Greshams and Blounts of this country will have to take a back seat. WOODSTOCK. Farmers have already began plowing.

Saturday was a lively day in this city, a large number of farmers being in town, and our merchants enjoyed a large pat­ ronage. The roads in the country last week were almost impassible, but the winds oi Saturday and Sunday greatly improved them, so that in most places they were in fair condition again the first of the week. W. E. Soles, the good natured operator at this station, and Geo. Brink, of the postoffice department, made a tour of inspection of the railroad between this city and Ridgefield Sunday morning. The boys made the trip on a railroad ve­ locipede and report finding the road-bed in excellent condition, but rather hard on shoes when you must walk up grade and 'pull the machine after you. ; , y ^ • : We litre lust received our large invoice of Spring and Skmraer Clotting, in men'a, youth's, bop' aad children's ajuta^p** ts and Times are Hard and Clothing ip Ohei p.

March 14, 1894. ? • SV-'V v • «• •m ; HB WAS LOADED FOB THE*. Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa, made a good point in tbe pension debate in tbe House Monday. He made tbe assertion tfcat the late Confederate States did not contribute one dollar toward the pay­ ment of pensions of Union veterans, and followed tbis by tbe statement tbat of tbe f150,000,000 internal revenue taxes the South paid less than f9,000,000; of the f177,000,000 customs receipts only $4,000,000, and of the miscellaneous re­ ceipts leiss than $2,000,000. In return tbe South is paid $9,000,000 in sugar bounties, $5,000,000 in pensions, and •5,000,000 as a deficit in postal receipt*. This was a hot shot, a center shot, and there is no reply to make to it. Mr. Hepburn is always loaded with ugly facts for the brigadiers to consider. *^7 Times are Hard. "T^ere is no way to put money in dr- culaticm except through wages paid. Is- JpiaOovernment bonds doesn't make circulation. The laborers must earn it *nd spend it, and that will make it flush. Thfe statisticians say tha 20,000,000 laboring people in this country who earn When they are at work from $30,000,000 to #40,000,000 a day. The Wilson tariff bill will cut these wages from 10 to 25 percent. The 10 per cent cut on $40,- 000,000 will be a loss of $4,000,000 a day to the laboring men, or $1,200,000,- 000 a yea. ^ A 25 per cent cut in wages ' X m fe'-wi'SW*; . PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIALS The official returns from the election for Congressman-at large in Pennsylva­ nia are worthy of preservation, as they involve the record of the largest plural­ ity ever given for any candidate in Penn­ sylvania, at least since the war era. The official figures are as follows: Grow, Republican 485,804 Hancock, Democrat 297,966 Markley, PennB. Democrat 2,822 Morrow Prohibitionist.. 11.180 Lotier, Populist 5,327 Scattering 1,274 Grow'a plurality 187,838 Qrow's majority 167,234 The total vote is 804,574, which is 26,816 more than the total vote of the state at last fall's election. The Repub­ lican vote then was 56.8 per cent of the total vote, while now it is 90 per cent. The Prohibition vote is 10,178 less than it was last November, and the Populist vote 1,651 less. There is but little com­ fort in the returns to any enemy of Re­ publicanism or of protection. In point of fact, one of tbat stripe who can get comfort out of it could extract sunbeams from cucumbers.
