While fishing the other day they caught a four and one-half pound bass. One of those gentlemen is a letter carrier, ttfiothsr is a butcher and the third a liquor dealer. H'k a queer mixture, but in case of accident the fourth gentle­ man will take excellent care of them, as he is an undertaker. As this Democratic state conventions held this year have made no protests against that awful "crime of 78," it may be assumed that at last it has been fully expiated. If a dealer asks yon to take something said to be "just as good as Rooky Moun­ tain tea made by Madison Medicine Co.," ask him if he makes more money. G. W. Besley. The trouble Vith a great number of our young men who want to see a great deal of life, is that they think there is none of it worth seeing by daylight O. O.

The general disposition of tha masea of the Republican party in Illinois is undoubtedly in favor of clearing away factional lines, and bringing about har­ monious relations, so that the party In the state may be strengthened and •be prepared to take the prominent place in the national councils of the party that Illinois' rank as a state en­ titles it to take. The continuance of factional disputes only lends comfort to the opposition. It is time for the prominent Republicans and the masses of the party in the state to get to­ gether, to submerge personal ambi­ tions for a time for the common inter­ est, and thus be enabled to achieve greater results for the party and the people in the state of Illinois and the nation. Politically one of the most important of states, occupying a commanding po­ sition in the electoral college, Illinois should have as much to say in the making of presidents as any other state and the people of the Republican 'party of Illinois have only to act along sensi­ ble and harmonious lines to accomplish a great deal in the future. Let the party work together and work in uni- eon, seeing to it that some plan of re­ organization is begun and that the clearing away of factional lines is un­ dertaken in earnest and in good faith. The suggested reorganization of the party in the state will doubtless meet with general acquiescence. The two factions that are mentioned most In political discussions are known as the Cullom and Tanner factions. There is no reason for the perpetuation of these factions. Between those factions the governor of the state has acted wisely in occupying neutral ground. By so doing he has displayed a far- sighted policy and has placed himself in a position where he can accomplish a great work in the strengthening, harmonizing and upibullding of the party in Illinois. Governor Yates will be commended for what he has already done toward bring about a -better feel­ ing in the party and Republicans who hold party principles and party wel­ fare above all other considerations will contribute their support to the move­ ment for a united party.--Quincy Whig. Our Dntjr Toward Cuba, The friends of Cuba in this country who insist that the Cubans are now ripe for self-government and that the sole and simple duty of the United States in the premises Is forthwith to get out of Cuba and leave the inchoate it-public to paddle Its own canoe are not getting the support they probafbly feel that they are entitled to expect from their proteges. Oddly enough there Is a host of Cu­ bans, men of substance and considera­ tion, knowing the actual condition of affairs in the islands, at least, as well as any American theorist, who insist that Cuba Is net ripe for self-rule, look forward with dread to the es­ tablishment of a purely native govern­ ment, and not only ar< anxious that fhe United States would never with­ draw at all. Some of the mo»t In­ fluential of the Cuban newspapers are manifestly averse to the immediate advent of a Cuban government Here is a typical statement of the views of the solid men of Cufba, made hy a prominent Ilavana m reliant: "We want annexation. We wish a definite settlement of the problem. We do not regard the establishment of a government under t&e Piatt amend- ment as definite. Cuba under such a regime would not prosper and capital would not come out. Nobody would have confldlhce In such a government. Even if it lasted only a year or two, it could do much damage. If this gov- ernment is a. necessary step, of course, then it must be." The United States will honorably keep its pledge and do its duty to Ctiba. But that it can best do so by immediately throwing Cuft>a over­ board, to sink or swim as circum­ stances may determine, Is not as cer­ tain u «ome American theorists • V . ttanauaa by The Pound. " Otoe pound of bananas please." That is what the'people will be say­ ing after the first day of September. After that date the fruit will no longer be sold by the dozen but by the pound.

Re­ tail dealers have been notified of the9 change in the way of selling and have also been noticed that thereafter all bananas will he graded and sold ac­ cordingly.
