WTThe batter market on the Elgin 'Board cf Trade on Monday was firm at 22c, the same as for foar weeks and one year ago; offerings 151 tube; sales 116 tabs.

' MP*When Mr. Wharton Barker of Philadelphia, the "Middle of the ttoad" Populist nominee for president, con­ cludes a careful inspection of the retump of the recent election, he may consider it advisable to take out a search warrant tJ find his party. MP" As the Democrats of Wyoming only elected three out of the forty-seven members of the state legislature, it in ' difficult for them to accept the state- ments of Bryan and Altgeld that the Democracy did not loBe much of any- ' thing at the recent elections. Sk. iyTh« Flour mills of Minneapolis and other points are running to their full ca­ pacity on eocount of a heavy export de- , mand and are not anxious to sell in the borne market at prices which it is thought will be materially advanced within a short time. iVThe contest in Ogle and Winneba­ go counties between James P. Wilson and Joseph Bacharach, both of whom were Democratic candidates for minority representatives, resulted in neither on<> getting the office on election day. The Wilson people threw their votes to Frank S. Regan, of Rockford, who is the only Prohibitionist elected to the present legislature. Be will probably vote with the republicans on all party questions. MTlt is significant that after two yean' trial of life imprisonment instead of the death penalty Colorado is already agitating a return to the latter method. After all the arguments, humanitarian and otherwise, have been passed back and forth the fact «till remains that murder is commoner and more deliber­ ate where the death penalty does not exist. There is no deterrent of murder •o forcible to the criminal miad as the notion of being hung. MF*In Switzerland if a child does not attend school on a particular day, the parent is notified by the public authority that he is fined so many francs. This fine is increased on subsequent days un­ til the amount involved becomes serious. In case of sickness the pupil is excused, bat if there is any suspicion of s iamming a physician is sent to investigate, and if the suspicion proves correct the parent is made to pay for the doctor's visit. Wouldn't such a compulsory education law make a howl in Illinois? tVThere is a limit to the patience of »VBL so patient a man as President Me Kinley, and the Spanish government has *bout reached it. Appreciating the poei- rion of Spain, president MoKinley hae been disposed to allow the Spanish Peace Commissioners. time to accept our de­ mand for the Philippine Islands, but when they made their second answer, just submitted to our commissioners, merely an elaboration of their first answer, which they were informed was not an answer at all, they forfeited their claims tor any (further consideration at the hand* of this government. They are too plainly endeavoring to kill tim«», in the hope that something may tufu up that will help them. Our commissioners have been instructed to inform the Spanish Commissioners that the r.egotiations must be brought to a close at once, either by the comp!et:on of the treaty of peace, upon our terms, or by the refusal •>f our demands for the Philippines. This country is prepared for either termina­ tion of the negotiations, but Spain will be very unwise if it provokes us into more fighting, it will simply mean the loss of more Spanish territory. General Otis reports a condition of affairs in the Philippines that furnishes an additional argument for the speedy termination of the negotiations at Paris. Only a por­ tion of the island of Luzon is in posses­ sion of onr troops. On one of the ad­ jacent islands the insurgents are having things pretty much their own way, and there is danger of their massacring the Spanish residents and looting the towns, and under the existing status our troops cannot inter f ore. M7*Bishop Doane, of Albany. N. T , seems to have experienced what our Me­ thodist friends call a change of heart. At the beginning of the war he spoke as one who could not see beyond the end of his own^nose. Now that the scales have dropped from his eyes hs sees as did other men months ago. In an a«ldress yesterday he said: "But the duties are upon us and the dangers are before us, and we must meet them like men and in the fear of God, and not apply t<? the conditions of to-day counsels that were wise a hundred years ago, nor whine like babies at a bitter dose of medicine, or schoolboys over a lesson that is hard to learn. Not conquest, but the acceptance of responsibility among the nations and peoples of th? earth to whom we have message--this is our duty, written, it seems to me for him who runs to read." It is wonderful how many men sue clearly after the war what they shut their eyes upon at the beginning of war. Suppose the people zealous in defense of national honor had paid heed to Bishop Doane at the beginning of the war, where would we have been to-day?--later Ocean. 1 Superior Value* In Hen's Derby and Fedora Hate at $1.90.

That is why the impres­ sion is growing in Washington that the President will ask no legislation from congress for the islands, but will keep them under military government until their needs are better understood, in order that when there is congressional legislation for them it may be of a per­ manent nature. NFThe postofflce department at Washington has ruled that the writer has a right to regain possession of a let­ ter providing he can prove to the satis­ faction of the postmaster at the office from wbich it was &ent that he was th<? writer of it. Even if a letter has arrived at its destination, and before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was addressed, it may be recalled by a tel­ egram through the mailing office. The reason assigned is that the United States is Only the agent of the writer of the let ter while the letter is in transit. This decision is important to business men and to private individuals. J.

McHenry, Nov. 22,1898. •^It is a significant fact that the two United States senators who most fla­ grantly misrepresented the sentiment of their states on the silver question dnring the regular session of congress have been re tared as a result of the recent elections. They were Senators Murphy of New York And Smith ofjNew Jersey, Democrats, who voted for a free coinage resolution in opposition to the pronounced senti- of the people of both states against such financial folly. Their course gave the Republicans a good majority in each leg­ islature and insured the substitution of Republicans as their successors, and there is no escaping the fact that both Mnrphy and Smith owe their political extinction largely to their votes for free coinage. MTJustice Harlan, of the United 8 fax tee Court, in a speech at the opening of the School of Jurisprudence and Di­ plomacy of Columbian University, said a * few words that are especially applicable to thi the croakers who see nothing •head of os but trouble, on accouot of annexation. He said: "These people are disturbed over the annexation of new territory. They were disturbed when ws annexed Louisiana. What we*e we going to do with those Frenchman and Indians? they asked. They were dis­ turbed when we annexed New Mexico; bnt here we are, 70,000.000 strong, and I believe that public life is cleaner to-day than ever before. I say to them, be of good cheer, we will be able to meet the great responsibilities. Maybe by what is going on at this time in another part of the world we are in the midst of a great crisis.
