aJLtoatsJilt JtW «T** aiai* 1, 1899. WEDNESDAY VAN 8LYKE, Editor. - ®S' Mr Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade on Moadacf steady. OKerings were 70 tubs. All sold at 18^c. Last week's market was 18c and one year ago 19c. |WA nation that Is obliged to go abroad for its ships can never become a it maritime power. It must be inde- ident of foreign shipyards, independ­ ent of fore;gn seamen and firemen, in older to be strong, upon the sea. Senator Hanna's shipping bill will strengthen this nation in its weakest point, if Congress will but pass it. ' |fA Lake County paper says: "Hon. George R. Lyons has tbe chairnmnship «j| the committee on Banks and Banking. Last week he introduced a bill providing that in case of loss by Are the Insured •hal! recover the full amount of the dam­ age. Also a bill providing that the amount stated in a fire insurance policy •hall be taken as the amount of loss in ease the property ia entirely destroyed. Mr. Lyons is on the right track, and his hill should have the hearty support of nfory honest man in both houses."' . - A Washington correspondent says: "Senator Davis promptly called the op­ posite n bluff, by asking the unanimous consent of the Senate to vote on the treaty of peace February 6, and the op position having committed itself could do nothing but agree. The treaty will be ratified with votes to spare, as it is known that a number of senators who promised Senator Gorman their aid in trying to get tbe treaty amended will vote for ratification. So this is likely to be another instance of the bluffer being lNtot at his own game." American Wheat and Shipping, The total value of the wheat crop of the United States in 1896 was no greater than the sum of .money annually paid to foreign ship owners for doing the foreign carrying of the United States, based on the estimate of the outlay for foreign freights made by such eminent ship­ builders as Chas. H. Cramp, of Philadel­ phia, and Mayor Wm. T. Malster, of Baltimore. The wheat- crop of 1S0G was valued at $310,000,000. There are men such as we have quoted, who assert that we annually pay to foreign shipowners, underwriters, bankers and other* con­ nected with shipping as large a sum as we have named. It may surprise the farmers of the United States to be in­ formed that every bushel of wheat raised in the United States is required to deiray the single cost of foreign treight on American imports and exports. Senator Uanna has a bill in the Senate and Representative I'ayne in the House, the object of which is to give American ships a larger fihare of American foreign carrying, so that in time the value of the wheat crop for one year njay suffice to pay foreign ships for the service they per­ form for our people during two years, the remainder going to American ship owners, and remaining in the United Statfs, to employ and re-employ, over and over again, endlessly, the people of this country, instead of going abroad to employ, over and over again, endlessly, aliens. There cannot be an intelligent farmer, or, for that matter, an intelligent Amer­ ican in any line of business, who will not admit that the drain on the United States of even paying half the value of our wheat crop annually to foreigu ship­ ping. is enormous and deserving of the most drastic national legislation for the substitution of American goods for a goodly portion of the foreign shipping our foreign commerce now employs. IOTNOW that our soldiers are in Cuba, tfce question of mail rates to and from that country may be Of interest to our readers. Letter postage between differ­ ent points in Cuba is three cents. The rate from any point in Cuba to any point in the United States is five cents. From the United States to Cuba tbe ^ same, and between Cuba and other countries the rate for a letter is six cents The letters of soldiers sant out of Cuba to the United States, when marked by the proper officer as "Soldiers mail," are carried for two cents each, and letters addressed to eoldiers, giving name of regiment and company, are also carried lor two cents.

"Old Billy,'" Dr. Starrett's war horse, died last week. An account of his ser­ vices appeared in a recent issue of the Elgin Aens, and was copied by other papers in towns occupied by companies of the Third. "Billy" was a well Known regimental character, and all the boys will be sorry to learn that he is dead. Mr The impudence of Agoncillo, the lepreseiitative of Aguinaldo at Wash­ ington, went about as far as it could go When he presented a communication at Ibe State Department demanding in the tame of the alleged Philippine Republic to know tbe intentions of tbe United States towards these islands, and that *0 more United States ships or troops lie sent to Manila. "No official notice %ill be taken of the communication," a Washington correspondent. "President McKinley knows that it is not the Filipinos who are to blame f< r. #uch impudence, but U. S. Senators who i'&ave encouraged it by their talk. As Soon ae the treaty is ratified Aguinaldo frill be probably taught a thing or two." &• SENA COB aSAT SPEAKS. While there is so much unjust and an- fair criticism upon the administration Democrat and Mugwump sources, (..) it is refreshing to hear words of faith in &nd commendation of the President fall from the lips of U. S. Senator Uray, of Delaware, who was the Democratic mem- 'J "Iter of the Peace Commission and an avowed anti-expansionist. At a com­ plimentary dinner tendered him at Wil- £ . ,; |nington, Del., a few nights ago, upon the point referred to Senator Gray spoke -QS follows: »- Without assuming for a moment any "•V% right to speak for the President, I think f < ' I can assure you, with some knowledge r>4^hereof I speak, ihat he fully appreciates < the duties and responsibilinies of the sit • nation and that he is committed to no ' w-* policy calculated to discourage, much ' less strike down the aspirations of liberty -Ja^i^loving people all over the world. I be­ long to a different political party, but I should be false to my sense of justice and * to that pride which I feel as an American if I did not declare my confidence in the patriotism and purity of purposeof Wm. McKinlty. He is no usurper of power, no stranger to American institutions, but one of the American people, called to his high office by their suffrages, and it would be strange indeed if he did not share to the fullest extent in the love of our constitution and tbe principles that underlie it. The Senator also stated that the solution of the problems that confront us is not with the President, as when the treaty is ratified no policy can be adopt­ ed without the sanction of Congress; and ? the whole American people will deter- , mine, through their representatives, what relatione we Bhall sustain to the , Philippines. Never Too Old to Learn. Do not infer from what I have pre­ viously said that tender years is the only proper time to learn music. It may be tbe most proper and profitable season for education on general principles, but this rule does not appiy to music alone, and like all good rules has exceptions For instance, I sold an organ to a lady in Elk Grove, Cook Co., twenty-six years ago. who was at that time 43 years old I gave her ten instrumental lessons and in just five months she mas playing very acceptably in church. Of coursj this an exception, and the lady in question bad plenty of time to practice and goodly stock of that best of all talents, perseverence. The other extreme wae little Johnny White whose two biff sisters, school teachers, bought a piano to which Johnny took a great fancy and had daily access. Before he reached his seventh birthday he could play polkas, waltzes and hornpipes to beat the band. Another very common question isr: How much time should a pupil give to practice?" This also is a hard nut crack, and w» can say with truth that no single answer from any alive or dead master is the only one. Again we exhort the fond, ambitious parent, or too ex pectant teacher not to overcrowd the willing pupil. Young beginners should never practice longer than thirty minutes at one sitting. Ol^er ones may safely double this time, that is when poor health or physical or mental frailty does not forbid. Nervous temperaments sbonld always rest from practice as eooji as tbe lesson practice becomes irksome but do not confound weariness with lezi ness or a disposition to shirk. Regular daily hours or half hours should be voted to practice, and the parent guardian should see to it that no party pleasure or anything else short of acci dent, sickness or necessary absence permitted to interfere with these daily practice hours. Experience also teac1 that long continued sittings at tbe strument tend to tire and discourage pupil more than shorter and frequent hours. R D.

Tbe greatest danger from LaGrippe is of its resulting in pneumonia. If reason­ able care is used, however, and Chamber­ lain's Cough Remedy taken, ail danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted iu pneumonia which shows conclusively that this rem­ edy is a certain preventive of that dan­ gerous disease. It will care la grippe in less time than any other remedy. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J. A. Story. UNITED STATES War Claim Agency -OF- w H» cowu^, WOODSTOCK, - ILLINOIS.
