Bwrcm PLAmuEAiiKiij--At editor of fl. paper, you mould public opinion in your town and vicinity, and much can be said for and nothing against the stand your citizens take regarding the addition to your town of legitimate enterprises It is a very hopeful sign to Me men like Mr, Geo. Hanly offer, under proper restriet- ions, 35 acres of ground, and just as gratifying to hear aether gentleman, whose name we did not learn, state pub­ licly in John Evanson's store that he would donate 12500 cash to the watch factory if be was satisfied it was a legiti­ mate enterprise. It fact there seems to be but one sentiment in the town, one thought in all minds, that, that any reasonable sum could easily be raised for meritorious enterprises. The question naturally arises, "What is a meritorious enterprise?" and the experience of other towns and cities who have induced man­ ufacturing concerns to locate in their midst should be your only guide. If you you will come with me to Waukegan, Aurora, Milwaukee, Harvey, South Rend, E)khart, Beloit, Janesville, Qenoa, Dixon, DeKalb, Sheboygan and hundreds of other western towns and investigate the question of inducements offered and re­ sults obtained, you will And that when manufacturing enterprises in active operation elsewhere with established rep­ utation »ad trade can be paid to locate elsewhere, the result is beneficial to the community enterprising enough to secure them, while on the other hand almost in every case that I know of where money has been paid to concerns to locate plants for the manufacture of untried commodities or to people with ao pre­ vious experience as manufacturers, such money is usually wasted. But the worst effect o! the failure of the first enterprise established through the medium of a bonus paid by any community is that never afterward can a dollar be raised by subscription for subsequent enter­ prises, no matter how meritorious, while •ice versa, if the first prove successful the chief occupation of your Board of Trade thereafter will be the encouragment and assistance of other concerns. I know whereof I speak as I have had actual ex­ perience in a live, wide-awake western town as secretary of their Board of Trade and naturally all schemes filtered through me while in office,.and Borne of them up­ on investigation were of the Col. Sellers sort, "millions in it," but not tor our town. There are certain safe guides for y our committees to act upon, and they are, first, the character of the gentlemen one large plant, in addition, small con­ cerns are not as apt to be dictatorial after you have secured them as large plants invariably are. All manufactur­ ing towns, made up of small enterprises, relatively speaking, are always prosper­ ous, while any com m unity, the prosperity of which depends npon one large concern' is dead when the plant closes down. There are plenty of successful manufac­ turing concerns right here in Chicago, with just enough capital to run along smoothl y, who could be induced to lo­ cate in MeHenry if paid to do so, who, with their present machinery and tools and the additional capital received in the shape of a cash bonus and plant could start with 25 hands, meaning an addi­ tion of approximately 100 additional population for you, and so easily extend their trade that within two years 100 hands could find steady employment. All of this actually owueuw* your town, for that class of people would spend every cent of their earnings in MeHenry. Be­ sides the erection of factories brings with it enterprises directly benefitted by them, such as machine shops, etc., and the town would in other ways reap rewards. I sincerely hope you will bloom out in­ to 4 second Aurora or Rockford and a small sum of money judiciously Invested in the keynote of success. H. B. s. . Pithy, Pointed and Pertinsat. In the dreams of .Mr. Cleveland the three co-ordinate branches of the govern­ ment are the Executive, the executive and the executive. The administration has apparently just discovered that John Bull was try­ ing to trick Uncle Sam in relation to patrolling Behring Se*. It's an old habit of John's. Senator I)olph is right, the Oayton- Bulwer treaty ought to be abrogated. The United States needs no treaty to keep Great Britain or any other Europe­ an country, from exercising any domin­ ion over any part of Central America and the treaty which ties our hands, so far as any, control of the same country is concerned, ought to be gotten rid of. There are a large number of men now in Congress who do not regard this as an "off year" in politics, although many of them will be off when the returns are in. There is no longer any doubt that the Palmetto brand of whiskey i* the fl$ht ingkind. Gov. Jones, of Alabama, may yet be very sorry he wrote that letter to Sena­ tor Hoar, denying that fraudulent bal­ lots made him governor. He has already been called a "deliberate, malicious and unqualified" liar by a prominent Ala- bamian, an account of it. If that doesn't call for gore, the Alabama code is played out. Having survived the Pollard-Brecken interested in any scheme presented^ for ridge trial the people of Washington their consideration. Carlisle says, "A scoundrel is always a scoundrel," and vice versa, an honest man is always an honest man. Insist first upon a complete personal record of all concerned in any scheme and investigate the statements made. This personal history should go back for years on the plea that a horse which has once ran away is very apt to do so again, if opportunity presents it­ self, and some men are like horses in that respect. Then if an individual is a firm, or partners are the concern, investigate the firm's record with their creditors and houses to whom they sell, and if all the above show clear histories and records I contend yon. may safely deal with them, confident that you will all be mutually benefitted. In proof of what I stated re­ garding mushroom schemes please ad­ dress any banker in Yorkville about their silverware factory, or Wyanet about their shoe factory and the frame of mind their people are in regarding any enterprise in future. Beware of anybody who nominally asks for one thing while indirectly they obtain something else entirely discon­ nected with the object presumably sought for. For instance if any flrtn or corpor­ ation should ask your town for a cash bonus and land upon which to erect wagon works, and incidentally make the building of the wagon work contingent upon the granting of a franchise for a water works or a street car line, you would too late awake to a realization of the fact that you had given your money to a concern who erected a water works plant at jour expense and then charge you for the use of the water, and the wagon works would never be built, or if built to comply with a contract drafted by Mr. , it would be a cheap affair and run a few months and then close down for an indefinite period, go into a receivers hands or burn up. A con­ cern making wagons should have no in- interest in a water works and the build­ ing of one contingent upon the granting of a franchise for the other should be viewed with grave suspicion, to put it mildly. If MeHenry wants water works or electric lighting, escape the fate of other towns by building your own plant and grant no franchises of that sort to private individuals. If your town is really in earnest about securing factories offer inducements to ten concerns with twenty-five hands each in preference to one with two hundred and fifty, and thus do not imitate other towns and the old lady who pat all her eggs in one basket. From a dollar and "sense" standpoint also, yonr town would be better off, as ten small concerns would not require the have no occasion to worry over the prospect of having to entertain Coxey,s army. If some had done their thinking before voting, instead of afterward, this coun­ try would have been to-day several billions of dollars better off. However, it is better to think afterwards than not to think at all. Henry Wattereon calls the democrats in congross "incapable*" and •'rascals" and promises them "political damnation and death when they go home decorated with the "white feathers of the coward, or the black plumes of the mercenary." Henry is giving away his opinion of his fellow democrats in thus talking, but as a democrat he has a right to Bpeak his mind. The Denver courts seem to be in danger of becoming as badly deranged as Goy. Waite. There is fame and fortune ahead of the man who. can succeed in corralling all of the freak governors, now in offlco, under one tent, for exhibition purposes. Speaker Crisp appears to be the only democrat in the House who can be trust­ ed by the other democrats to sit in the Speaker's chair. That doesn't speak very high for the other two hundred-odd democrats in the house. Free rations, not principle, is the bond which holds Coxey' simitation army to­ gether. Free grub has also partly pre­ vented the arrest of a goodly portion of the army. They have had no occasion to pillage. Senator Stewart must have got an ink­ ling of how he. was being classed by some people before he wrote his "I-am'a-pop­ ulist" letter. There isn't the slightest probability that Breckenridge will be expelled from Congress. The reason must be obvious to all who are familiar with eartain phases of Washington life. No wonder Adlai Stephenson is being talked about as the next democratic candidate. He is said to have put sixty relatives in office. If that doesn't qualify him we should like to know why. ^ The administration is doing a lot of advance advertising about what it is going to do to prevent seal poaching this season. According to Canadian advices the poachers are preparing for aa un­ usually busy season. Mr. Wheeler H. Peokham has been lecturing on "bribery." Wonder if any of the democratic Senators who voted against his confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court will consider his re- THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRAT. WIU Hie Hatred of Germ any OvtreMM His Horror of War? The situation is strange, lurid and in a sense humiliating. Armed Europe waite upon the ultimate mandate of one man. "The heaven for height," says Solomon, "the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable." Czar Alexander III has two rnling emotions--a horror of war and a hatred of Germany. The probleck is, Which passion in him shall conquer She other? Trammeled t>yno parliament, influenced neither by re­ sponsible ministers nor by personal fa­ vorites, the big, lonely despot is wres­ tling oat that problem single handed. It is an awful position. There is no real public opinion in Rus­ sia whose voice might sway the auto­ crat. He must fight out Ms own battle with himself. Probably no solution would better please him individually than a general disarmament, but that is hopeless. *Wc must leave him to Ms wrestlings with himself. Meanwhile, at all events, there is a period of reasona­ bly assured respite. Russia is never quite ready, and the millennium will probably surprise her in her chronic at­ titude of unreadiness. At present she is swapping not horses, but rifles. A year ago there was not a magazine rifle in the Russian army, and the great ma­ jority of her soldiers are still armed with the improved "Berdan," a very in­ ferior weapon both to the German and the Austrian rifle. But Russia retains still the warning memory of her fearful losses before Plev­ na from the Remingtons, which America placed in the hands of the Turks, and with which her obsolete Krenkes could not cope. After much tedious experi­ menting, a year ago a definite selection was made of a weapon known as the "three line" rifle, and the production and issue of this firearm are being pushed forward with great energy. But you cannot order in 2.500.000 rifles as you can a bundle of toothpicks. I believe that about a third of the requisite quan­ tity is now delivered. It is absolutely impossible that the equipment can be completed and the troops trained to the use of the new weapon within the present year. It seems extremely improbable that this result can be attained before the spring of 1896. The opportunity for war--I do not say the certainty of war--will come when Russia shall have completed the equip­ ment of her hosts with the "three line" rifle.--Archibald Forbes in North Amer­ ican Review. | |V A UNIQUE MURDER TRIAL. Brvtel Way In Which » Woman Protested Against Her Husband's Infidelity. A murder trial, believed to be unique in the criminal history of this country, terminated in the Liverpool assizes last week. Margaret Walker, aged 58, had many peculiarities, but the one which brought her into trouble was her objec­ tion to her husband carrying on an illicit amour. Her duty, judged' by the Brit­ ish standard, was tto protest, and if re­ monstrance failed to suffer in silence. Mrs. Walker, not being made of submis­ sive material, confined herself to the former course, and she protested with such vigor that she is now a widow and an occupant of a condemned murderer's cell. It came about in this way: Her husband last summer imprudent­ ly renewed certain relations with a wom­ an of whom his wife had long been jeal­ ous. On returning home Mrs. Walker gave him a good thrashing, and as that did not convert him she in a masterful manner hustled him up stairs, chained him to a bedpost in the topmost room of the house and kept him there to the day of his death, which was Nov. 16 last. During the four months of his captivity he was visited and thrashed every day by his strong willed and strong nerved spouse. There were several lodgers in the house, and they heard the man's cries every day, but got used to them and never dreamed of telling the police. Finally, on the morning of Nov. 16, Mrs. Walker finished the novel discipli- , nary course of treatment by battering in \ her erring husband's head with a mass­ ive steel chain. The doctors said the man'#' body was a mass of wounds and bruises. The murder, brutal and revolting as it; was, wpuld not have attracted much at-' tention had the victim been some long | suffering wife. What strikes the public ! imagination is that a woman should dare • to kill her husband in such a masculine fashion, and that it is possible for a hu- : man being in the second city of the em­ pire to be kept a prisoner for four . months and slowly done to death. Mrs. ' Walker will probably be hanged. The judge, in sentencing the woman, warned . her not to hope for mercy.--7 Letter. PREELAND PIONEERS. Gone to Find Tfceli Xden In the African Dr. Theodor Hertzka's plan to form# an ideal commonwealth is east Africa ii being carried into effect with great sa­ pid try. Late in Febnmy the luglhl members of the pioneer expedttfan ti Mount Kenia left London far the nent, and a week ago the piacMier OQO^C sailed for Mombasa, on the east AfzflMil coast. Their ultimate object is toorgSft*' ize a colony in which land and will be free, and everybody will beiHNpl} clothed, well fed, well sheltered andwril educated. Their immediate object is to explore the land round their so cattail valley of Eden, on Tana river, and to se­ lect and limit exactly the territory wMcfti the colony or commonwealth of Fret* land is to occupy. Dr. Hertzka has been exceptionally successful in obtaining powerful pains* age for his ventursome enterprise. Hoi only has the British government granted him land and moral support, bat'the Austrian authorities have also gfon ffc* little band of reformers much encoar* ment and some money. The Royal lf&» seum of Natural History in Vienna, fa* instance, has presented the pioneer e& pedition with the Apparatus and iasfar»> ments for procuring information and collections of the flora and fauna of the valley of Eden. The Royal and Imperial Military and Geographical institute of Vienna, the South Kensington museum and other so­ cieties have also given practical proof of their interest in the explorations. m fresh knowledge will be promptly com- miraicated to the Royal Gtofnpkkal and other societies. Am«u»g the Freelanders have set themsdves to do is to institute a regular service of small steamboats from the mouth of the river Tana to the limit of navigation, about 350 miles, and to carry on experi­ ments in the domestication ef tbe sl%. phant and zebra. GOOD LOOKS SAVED HER. A Twin Woman With Beantlfol H^d, m Peculiar Way of °ti«ll>| A young lady employed by ftgold aai silversmith in New York has only her good looks to thank for the fact was allowed to resign without Mag prosecuted for theft. She hasaa exfcnKW-*' dinarily fine head of hair^whiofcrttie«]« lows to hang loosely ovefawrBhooidsani and nearly down to her waist, jffejpa time to time it was noticed that the |dd used in the room in which die worked did not go as far as it ought in jewelry and gem settings, and that even allowing for the filings, which are most carefully preserved, there v|as*a distinct leakage. Steps were taken to Millet the employees to a more rigid nnaTfth. but no discovery was made nntil the young lady with the long hair quiur- reled with her roommate over a love i£« ' fair, and in a fit of jealousy her rival gave away the most interesting story. The young lady had kept her ihair well greased, and then while at wtirk would frequently pass her tingers through it casually, as though it were a mattsrof habit. By the process she accumulated a good deal of gold dust in her hair aid sometimes dropped some . as well. Every night she oombed\oot her locks with the smallest of tootil combs, carefully collected the peculiarly purloined treasure trove and sold it with­ out any difficulty She broke downoom* pletely when taxed with the oiEsnaifc made restitution as far am she waa||Uab and her tears and promises were so pro* fuse that she was then allowed to depart in peace, although her employers som* what inconsistently took measures to prevent her obtaining further employ­ ment in the business in which she was aft expert.--New York Cor.

Paris Morgue 8tati»t!ea* That center of grewsouie interest, the Paris morgue, yields curious statistics. The official report for 1893 shows that 900 corpses were received, a few more men than women. Of these 215 died by drowning, 76 by hanging, 68 byfcfearma, 41 by stabs and 62 by poisoning. There had been 109 sudden deaths. Of other fatal cases 64 were attributed to suffoca­ tion and 83 to falls. More bodies are taken to the morgue during the snxnmer seasons of the yean a Great Pressure m Bar tf lm Parts In Two Places. At the Sdranton shops of the DelSr ware, Lackawanna and Western rail* road there were recently made soma tests of wire rope and fastenings for ifc. One and a half inch steel cables are used ia some of their mines, and these testa were made to determine whether or not the fastenings were as strong as tbe cables. Sockets with taper holes, knowft as rope cones, to receive the rope, and ending in a fork to fasten to the oag*| are used. The rope is passed through the hole and the ends of the w Ires turned back, making a bushy head. Into this mass of twisted and doubled wire they pour lead or babbit metal.
