JDAY, APRIL 18, 1894. llpr 8LYKE, Editor. tr-\ TRICK OF THE BINGK | Several of our county exchanges have feonae out of late in labored articles in pilfevor pf holding the primary caucuses ' under what is known as the Crawford Law, and claim that "there is a strong Inling abroad in the land"' and also ' WBiODg the candidates in favor of such f 'P action. Now this may and may not be eo, but we, for one, very much doubt •, such to be the fact, for we cannot see how any sensible man, after looking the mat- , ter carefully oyer, can be in favor of such ||s a proceeding. To any discerning man, C" who is at all posted in regard to McHenry |j| 1 county politics, the cloven foot is plainly pif visible. The Marengo Republican, of the 13th, in speaking of this matter, uses the , following strong language: Pf/v: " This would dispose of combinations, t $, . trades and schemes of trickery, and no one who is willing that the people shall - be heard, or who is not bent on political "> trickery, will oppose the plan. '4^.' * We believe all will admit tha£ the PLAIN DEALER is on record as being at all Jk, " - times opposed to "schemesand trickery" |V,.„'8 and against ring rule in any and all i ' shapes and guise, and just for this y • • reason we are opposed to the system of holding primaries under the so called P" Crawford Law, and under the light of past events any party or paper in f McHenry county advocating such a sys tem lays themselves open to the suspicion at least, of attempting to foster again into life a corrupt ring rule that was so emphatically sat down upon by the peo- ,. pie at a time not beyond the memory of all. The plea made by the advocates of this system of primaries is that they will thereby get closer to the people, and that the people will have all to say as to who shall be the nominees for the differ ent offices to be filled in the county. This plea is a delusion and is put forth simply to deceive. Does anyone for a moment believe that these self styled reformers would keep their hands off in the different towns if this scheme was carried out? The facts are that having been in strumental in making the county con ven ation of four years ago one of the most disgraceful ever held in the state, and * knowing full well that the people, for whose welfare they just now seem to have fjM so much concern, will not submit to be J-„ so misrepresented again, they seek, under ^ "the cry of reform, to deceive the people |£,: . and transfer their crooked work to the different towns, where their henchmen ^ would have a wider field and the wishes jfe' of the people would receive as little re- • )"• * spect as they did at the hands of the ring combination four years ago. Hie Republican voters of the different • towns, In caucus assembled, are the it* people, so far as the Republican party f*y-' and convention is concerned, and in this || v{ - county they are of sufficient intelligence to send men to the county convention who will represent their wishes, and with the experience of four years ago the men or combination who attempt to take it out of their hands for the interest of any ring or clique we predict will hear it thunder all along the line. We believe that everything should be done to pro mote harmony in the ranks, but, we do not believe it is necessary to surrender unconditionally to a lot of pot house politicians to secure such a result. They pretend great concern for the interests of the people, and at the same time are working for a system that would put them at the mercy of a horde of vultures who care more to accomplish their own ends than for the interests of the party or the people. L#t the caucuses be called in due sea son, let every Republican in the different towns turn out, choose men for their delegates in whom they have confidence, instruct them or not, as they see fit, and In this way they will get as near the people as can be done in any way. We do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter. We are not charging that our brethren of the press are insti gators of this scheme, but simply believe that they have been mislead into advo cating a measure which they have failed to investigate in all its bearings. It is a question of vital importance to the Re publicans of McHenry county, and should not be passed by without eerious thought i' fIs Coxey'e amy JfcBrttetii •*» w® tenor of its way uM&M&ed and nnmoleateri, living on the count*?. CitisMMi along line of march, probably for fear of a worse thing, seem willing to furnish the vagabonds with food, shelter ' and even money. The tramps of this country are thus being taught that they can follow their calling withoat fear of policeman or constable and get all they want to eat, drink and smoke without even the trouble of asking for it, if they will only travel in company, instead of singly, and announce that the gang is an army of some sort or another travel- in; to some seat of government to pre sent a "petition in boots." There are already symptoms that the country may soon be overrun by such dangerous companies of rogues and vagabonds. The one safeguard against this danger is the modern tramp's deeply rooted ob jections to tramping, "drilling," as he calls it. Large gangs could not keep to gether except by traveling on foot, and that is not the tramp's methods of pro gression. He does all his journeying by rail, and would hardly be willing to return to long distance pedestrianism, even to secure the obvious advantages of the Coxey plan. N&*In the issue of Monday, the 10th inst., the day before the meeting of the Republican State Central Committee, in Chicago, the Inter Ocean pertinently says: "The Republicans of Illinoiscould hot come to Chicago for the love feast at a better time than the present. They have made a situation over which they can rejoice. Had this meeting been held two months ago the Republicans would have rejoiced over the victories won else where and the prospects for victories at home. Now they can rejoice over the victories at home, which are no longer the subject of prediction. Tbey are facte which cannot be disputed. Illinois was a Democratic state by the returns of 1892, but in the spring of 1894 the Republicans have set about showing that that record did not represent the real sentiments of the majority of the voters of Illinois. They have redeemed Chicago, and they have captured old Democratic strong holds throughout the State which were for many years regarded as impregnable. This is a matter for the greatest rejoic ing, and to-day the Republicans of Illi nois have the floor to shout as loud as they please, and be as extravagent as they please in their predictions for t^e coming campaign. They never have had better cause for either rejoicing or hope ful prognostication." ^"The Irish and Irish-Americans of New York and Boston are deeply incensed at Willie Wallie Astor. It appear that bis London paper recently stated that the Irish race is a menace to civilization and is not fit for self-government." [The Celts do Astor too much credit in giving heed to anything he may utter, under ex isting circumstances. He is enacting the role of a thoroughbred Tory in training for peerage. This country has been most kind to the Astor brood; but this favor ed one has turned a cold back to his native land, while drawingfhis sustenance from the tenements our laws and the policemen are guarding for him. His self exile is as gross an affront to every pa triotic native American as his words above quoted are to Irfsh citizens. MNGWOOO. HHI MOflfciOPOd tive improvement <4 the land w< . st ore, left by a former and long lamented resident, known to few of our residents, and they the old ones, Judge Reynolds, to be a village green, common or murk, and the improvement mentioned has been more than realized. The land, bad ly gullied by the washing of years, has been plowed, graded and smoothed, and set out to shade trees. The spot will hereafter be known as "Reynolds' Park" in honor of the doner. It would seem that no fence would be necessary to keep the grounds in good order or to protect, the trees, for I can hardly think of a man mean enough to drive over the Park in defiance of decent respect to the wishes of his neighbors here. But if such is found to live among or near us we have the privilege of voting him no man and of putting up a fence against hogs. The lawless letting of stock run at large also has to be considered, and it may prove to be necessary to fence the park. Should it so prove there will be no lack of money or labor, judging from the expressions of our citizens. It would seem a proper tribute to the memory of Judge Rey nolds that the band turn out some fine evening soon and dedicate Reynold's Park with appropriate selections of mu sic of ye olden times. As the improve ments are not yet completed it is too early to mention those who were the movers in and abettors of the work, but we shall do so at an early date. Miss Stella Lumley heard "May I pass the water?" and "Please may I go out?" for the first time on Monday, it being her first day of school in the Harsh district. Stella will make a good teacher and we wish her success. Mrs Love Smith, mother of Mrs. Oscar Tabor, is seventy seven years old to-day, Tuesday, and is not quite as well as usual, but by the attentive care of her daughter is a#i comfortable as could possibly be. She is the last surviving member of her family, and soon, like all who live, must join the immortal band. Forty-six years ago no death had visited that family, but since that time ten of the family, eight sons and daughters, and father and mother have been called away. BLEW UP HIB LUNGS. John C. Marshall, Elgin, III., who for many months has been very low with what his physicians supposed was con sumption, is a well man again. "Having suffered ior years," says Mr. Marshall, with a disease which started in|the throat and nose and finally settled on my lungs, eo reducing me that I was obliged to give up all business and from which I got no relief, I employed fseveral of the beet known physicians both here and at Chi cago, all of whom pronounced my disease consumption. I finally heard of the direct method of treatment, through a friend of mine who had been cured of an ailment Similar to my own, by Dr. Howe, the originator of the new mode of treatment, and the doctor was at once called. On his first visit he made an extensive and thorough examination, and told me that my disease was not consumption but a closing up of many of the smaller air passages in my lungs. With his appara tus he blew up my lungs twice a day, dis tending my air passages until the stric ture of my bronchial tubes was over come. I began to breath more freely from the first, and gain in strength and weight, and at the end of three months the doctor said I would nsed no more treatment and that my cure would be permanent. It has now been three months since the treatment was discon tinued and my health is all I could wish it to be. I am really better than before my illness first set in and my weight is greatly increased. I heartily recommend Dr. Howe to all my friends who need treatment." I®" A pretty Hungarian maiden in In diana, who refused at the altar to marry the man whom her parents had selected for her for a husband without her consent has not lived under the Stars and Stripes in vain. "No one has asked me, sir," she said, when the officiating clergyman put the usual question as to whether she desired to wed. This young woman hss the right mettle. She justly resents the idea of being won by proxy. If she is to be an object of courtship she proposes to be a party to it herself. The man to whom the heart of this fair daughter of the Magyar race capitulates must lay siege to it in the honorable, direct, old fashioned way. MP* One year ago a large number of able Democratic patriots were wrangling over the question as to which one of them aiioula be named as Mr. Cleveland's legatee, but to-day there isn't one of them who seems at all eager for that em barrassing and profitless distinction. Careful inquiry by experts skilled in such work forces the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland's political estate won't be worth enough to pay the costs of taking out letters of administration." IVIn the ab&ence of the Hon. Don Diekerson, of Michigan, the report that he is already planning to capture his party nomination for President in 1896 muetnot be taken seriously. Until he crawls from beneath the chaotic ruins in to which the Michigan Democracy was smashed at the recent local elections and declares his intentions Mr. Diekerson is by charity and justice entitled to the benefit of the doubt. I Englishmen, Frenchmen and (Jer- fiians bring the true indictment that hutnaii life is less secure in the United States than in their countries and under j their forms of government. They charge that punishment for the taking of life Iters is too often escaped entirely or when finally administered is so belated by legal delays, shiftings and evasions as to loose a moral effect as a warning. m are apt to think our own ways beet, freCiWMO it is ours; but honest, fair-mind ed jMerfcans must, with chagrin admit the justice of this criticism and censure in *%ard to that which should be the very Jtrat claim to the approval of a civi- WThe proposition upon which the Bourbon restoration was made in 1892 was that a tariff should be rigged to fur nish sufficient revenue for the needs of the government economically adminis tered. Restore the Bourbons improve upon the tariff for revenue idea. They plot a tariff schedule so scant that in comes are to be taxed to make good its lack. Two birds are killed by this stone closer proximity to free trade is gained and Yankees are discriminated against because they posses the incomes that are to be "fried." It was a sorrv day for the country, and especially for the busy, in dustrious north, when the recently saved nation was surrendered back to Bour bon mercy. MTThe six valliant Democrats who survived the recent electoral onslaught in Rhode Island and landed safely in the Legislature constitute all that is left of the free trade party in that state. When they meet in the solemn conclave and be gin to resolve that "we, the people," the utterances of the three tailors of Tooley Street will shrivel into nothingness and the earth will tremble. A MEETING of the McHenry County Republican Central Committee, will be held at the Court House, in Woodstock on Monday, April 23d, at 1:30 p. M. special invitation is hereby extended to the editors of Republican paper#, and to Republicans in general to meet and ad vise, with us on that occasion. LUMAN T. HOY, Chairman, I. H. C.
