°<0eUEPYE*€•' WEDNESDAY. OCT. 23, 1895, • J®" Butter on theElgin Board of Trade on Monday was firm. Offerings, 60,960 pounds.. Sales, 16,860 pounds at 22 cents, 29,460 pounds being withdrawn- on bids or 22 cents. Last week 22 cents, a year, ago 21 cents. ier "If more bonds have to be issued to keep the government going on the Democratic tariff reform .basis, the peo­ ple will insist that they be issued in the j usual competitive way, and not awarded to a private syndicate without competi­ tion and at a ruinously high rate," says the Peoria Transcript. RSTGen. Roger A. Pryor, the former Confederate, now a prosperous and re­ spected judge on the bench in New York city, is as lively a judge as he was a Con­ federate. In passing sentence in a case lately he said: "I have found that, next ' to rum mischievous mothers-in-law are th^chief source of nearly all the matri­ monial broils which come before the courts/' A, 5^My stars! what would become of the polipe in this country if we served re­ creant Officials here as they do in Ger­ many as witness the following : -'SCHNEIDEMUHI^ September 23 --The Criminal Court here has sentenced Police Sergeant Oscar Huber to two years in the states prison and ten years disfran­ chisement, because he. as,a public official failed to report that Mr. and Mrs. Branch, who had a saloon in the house where he lived, kept their place open after the legal hour. * And there is another thing that i6 worth the thoughtful consideration of all Republicans, the Chicago Journal says editorially: "Are a few politicians to decide who shall be the candidate of the party? Has anyone been empower­ ed to 'deliver' this or that county to any particular man, or is the great body of the voters to decide upon the question of a candidate? In other words, how do we stand with regard to Mr. Pulver's 'political Hessianism ?'" THE, TARIFF AS AN ISSTOS. That the tariff will be Much more of an issue in the campaign next year than the Democratic organs would like to have, there is no doubt. With ' the ' ex- penditure*K>f the country in excess of the revenues it" will be necessary'to have the tariff properly revised. In speaking of this the St. Joseph Herald says: "The tariff is just as live an issue as it ever has been. It is made the principal national issue by the hard times and consequently a state issue because the state elections will not only decide thechoice of senators but also affect the national elections next year. But the tariff to which the Republican party is pledged is not, as the Massachusetts Republicans will set forth, the McKinley tariff? The McKin- ley tariff was a good one at the time it was enacted, but any tariff to be bene­ ficial must be adjusted to the demands of trade. Every item on the tariff sched ule must be considered carefully and changed whenever causes which affect the article in question make a change noees- sary. What the Republican party is pledged to is a tariff for the protection of home industries as well as for revenue, not higher than is necessary to protect labor and manufacturers. A safe tariff is, What the Republican party will put in­ to effect as soon as it is again in con" troi of the government.",- . /;.?*< I®" "The British trade," says the Chi­ cago Inter Ocean, "buys neither wheat nor cotton from us because of our pur­ chases of manufactured goods from him. He buys from us just "as long as circum­ stances compel him to buy, and he al­ ways sinks a large part of the profits made upon his sales to us in enterprises intended to make him independent of us for food or cotton supplies. The free trade theory of voluntary reciprocity is unsound." 1®°" The pubftc offices in " Illinois are not the personal property of any man or any set of men, yet, by the way certain politicians are meeting and combining to parcel out this and that office, one might be led to think that if the offices are not owned by these "leaders," that they are quite confident they have a "cinque" on all of them. Of course it is necessary in politics to have an organi­ zation and to have recognized "leaders," but when our State Central Committee spend more energy in capturing for them­ selves and their friends all of the good offices than they do in wOrk tor the gen­ eral good of the party, it is time to call a halt, and the Republicans of Illinois are becoming more-of the opinion that the time is not far distant when Republi­ can leaders in Illinois must be called down. The people through this section do not take kindly to the idea that any one man should be given all the good things in sight. They believe, rather, that it will be better for the party if in future the old fellows, who have rapidly grown rich through office-holding in Illinois, now stand modestly to one sids and give the new man a chance.-- Svcamore Republican. I6T" Perhaps it is style, but we really cannot see the sense, propriety or de­ cency even of a plain American family, descended from generations of ancestors who sang psalms through their noses &Ppl.ying the names of French cookery to good old-fashioned Yankee dishes. Is the English language something to be ashamed of? The height of style is ap­ parently reached when a newspaper prints cooking receipts for the wives of plain American workingmen to follow and calls a stew a saute and broth bisque. It will be calculated to sooth both the nerves and the temper of a cook who can only read English and not too much of that. Between the good road and the bad one there is an actual saving of time, force and wear and tear of from 30 to 50 per cent in favor of the good road. It brings farmers and business men many minutes nearer the railway station. It has a real moral effect in changing the hoodlum sentiment into one of orderly pride in the good looks of a neighbor­ hood. It attracts to its locality city business men and wealthy individuals in search of a country home. It brings up property values. It causes travelers and cyclers to pass that way twenty times where they did once with the bad old road and makes the hotel and boarding house interests flourish. t@rThe Courier Journal, summing up the political situation in Kentucky says: The Democratic party, under its present condition, is not a party at all; it is sim­ ply a monster without a head, running loose through the wilderness of political incertitude."

Robert lngersoll, delivered at Bkn wood, 111,, Sept. 5, is the following "And yet l am not sure that we ought to mourn for the dead. I do not know which is the better--life or death. And it may be that death is the greatest gift that ever came from nature's open hand: we do not know. There is one thing of which I am certain, and that is that if we could live forever here we would care nothing for each other. The fact that we must die, the fact that the feast must end, brings our hearts together, and treads out the weeds between the. paths. And so it may be after all that love is a little flower that grows on the crumbling edge of the grave. So it may be that were it not for death there would be no love, and without love all life would be a curse." Ks^The ideas of Greek judges seem to be much liko those of American legisla­ tors who, by statutory law, fix the value of a human life at $5,000 and not allow juries to render verdicts of any greater sum for personal injuries. The Vossiche Zeitung on this subjectsays,: "A Greek • judge at Volisso, on the island of Scie, the other day decided two claimsagainst a railroad for damages caated by a collision. One claimant was a man who bad lost his arm, and the other was a widow whose husband had been killed r The judge awarded 6,000 wiasters to the man, and only 2,000 to the woman. When the spectators began to protest loudly, the wise judge explained: 'My dear people, the verdict must remain, for you will see that is just. Nikola has lost an arm, and nothing can restore it, but you (turning to the woman) are still young and pretty. You have now some money and you will easily find another husband who may be as good, perhaps even better than your dead lord.' So isaying, the judge left the half, and the 'peOjrie cheered bi n." M.

Those who have been waiting may bring in the corn and go home with meal in short order. Should you be de­ tained later than the dinner hour your hunger may be appeased by calling on Baker Bradley. Sure this is the laud of honey (drips) and corn. On Wednesday evening a young fellow asked for entertainment at the residence of Mrs. Dodge, which was granted. The family retired as usual, but on gathering for breakfast the following morning the $ould be guest had taken French leave, after appropriating Eddie's best suit for his immediate use, besides taking an ex tra coat and vest for a change. No trace of the fellow has been found. HENRY SIMPSON died at his home near this village, Oct 13, 1895. He was born in Yorkshire, England,.May 6, 1833.

He was one of those characters that exemplify their belief in their daily living, and be will be greatly missed in his home, and his friends and acquaintances will hold him kind remembianee.
