It is generally conceded by Democrat* as well as Republicans of this, state, that with an unobjectionable ticket nest year the Republicans will elect it with a hand­ some majority. This seeming assurance of success has induced ohe or two aspir­ ing candidates and a few of then- friends to resort to questionable methods to advance their personal interests, and se­ cure their nomination by thenfxt Repub­ lican convention. We regret to say that it is so. . ' -ntnf A Kansas City paper says: "A -Kansas City man has read t he message through and boasts of it." This is fully as creditable as eating three dozen hard- boiled eggs on a wager..

It is relat­ ed that a Mrs. Barnes, who is divorced, systematically robbed her employers some of the states is a reminder that this d.iv of independent voting. owt alone by Democrats, but Republicans as well. It is one thing to secure a nomina­ tion but another to secure an election, hence the importance of a fair, honora­ ble contest between candidates and their friends and the nomination of worthy, competent candidates against whom no reproach can be brought.

The re­ gion is only six by four miles but the product of gold from it last year was over f3,000,000, and work was stopped lor five months on account of the miners ~ striker - The yield now is running over §1,000,000 per month. It is claimed that this section of' twenty-four square miles contains more riches than any region in the world. Score of men who were poor only two years ago a re now millionaires. Judging from our republican con­ temporaries in southern Illinois, John R. Tanner's boom is not making much progress in that section. The Centralia Democrat notes that of its exchanges only the Fairfield Press and the Belle­ ville advocate are supporting him, while the Centralia Sentinel, Fairfield Rejtui/li- can, Yandalia Union, Olney Republican, Lebanon Journal, Murphysboro Era, Metropolis Journal and Mount Vernon Register are not. This may be taken as indication that the preponderance of sentiment in that neighborhood is not favorable to Tanner. tST'Those people who suppose that the Republicans of the great Northwest are less ardent in their support of P pro­ tective tariff than their brethern of the middle and eastern states are badly mis­ taken. Representative Tawney, of Min­ nesota, who has just arrived in Wash­ ington says the .Republicans of that state believe the revenue for maintaining the government should be raised by a tariff upon imports rather than by an increase of internal revenue taxes, and he cites the following among other reasons for that belief: "That duty up­ on barley, as fixed by the Democratic- tariff law, works serious injury to the farmers of the west by permitting the importation of Canadian and Russian grain and bringing it into disastrous •competition with .oar own product. Just before I left home a farmer gave me an instance in his own experience. In 1894 he raised 33 bushels of barley to the acre which he sold for 50 cents a bushel. In 1895 he increased his yield to 45 bushels an acre, but the price for which he could sell the barley fell to 23 cents a bushel So that, although the productiveness of his farm increased largely, he lost $6.15 an acre over the previous year." favor of these particular candidates, is not meeting the approval of Republicans throughout the state. For- the chair­ man of that committee, who is presuma bly paid a salary by the Republicans of the state and with their money to use his time and the influence of hie good office to advance the interest if <we or two candidates is a preci h nt never be­ fore indulged in. It is not on!_ oun injus­ tice to other candidates but an outrage upon the Republicans oi Illinois. Deception is also a thing that is dis­ gusting to intelligent people. Some farmers may be caught by lightning rod sharks, but Tanner will never be able to convince them that he is a full fledged granger, by donning rubber boots, a slouch hat and a hayseed coat, and pos­ ing ate a citizen of l lay county after hav­ ing resided and voted in Cook county for the past five years, and now represents a Cook county congressional district on the state committee. It is alleged by his most ardent supporters that he is -enti­ tled to the highest honor within the gift of the Republicans for his labor in the interest of the Republican party. This claim might have some weight in his favor were it not for the fact that he has been favored with office, either elective or appointive, most of the time for the past quarter of a century, aud were the allegations true it is no reason why dis­ honorable' methods should be resorted to, to secure nis nomination, while there are hundreds of others who have done as much or more for the party than he has, and have never been honored with an office. If Col. Tanner, Dock Jameison, Alder­ man Madden and a coterie of state com. mitteemen own the Republican party of Illinois, it would be well to elect them su­ preme dictators. It would save Republi­ cans much time and trouble. Then all that would be necessary, would be for aspir­ ing candidates to have the seal of their apffroval placed upon them, and for the rommon people to. go to the polls and vote " her straight." If we are to have an often field aud a fair fight Col. Tanner, Henry Hertz, Dock Jameison and the executive committee should resign and let those take their place who will not prostitute their offices and'disregard the trust, imposed in them. J. D.

Tanner who are howling most heartily for hi nomination by the Republican party C the highest office within the gift of th people of this State, are loud in then asservations that his past services t< the party entitles him to this great and honorable distinction. And at the satrn time they aver, to show his eminent fit ness, that he has held various offices of honor and profit during the past twent\ f years, The fact is that Mr. Tanner is a chronic office seeker and office holder, and it is time to give him a rest. He ha." made politics a business solely for reve- v nue, and has been amply repaid by the party with official position and salaries for all the services he has rendered it That Mr. Tanner has been a useful man in his place is not denied, but this in no •,wise fits him lor the office of Governor of Illinois.

The revolution killed, •of course, this gentle art. but under the Influence of Josephine it was given a fresh impetus in directory days, for the Empress' Creole origin and temper­ ament made her jealously and passion­ ately devoted to every sweet odor that could be devised.

The danger is all^the more serious that it is still latent. Militarism in China, which may be looked upon as a natural consequence of the late war, would cripple Russia's finances before even a blow was struck, for it would necessitate the maintenance of a large army at an enormous cost in the thinly Inhabited districts of Eastern Siberia, where provisions are expensive and means of communication sadly primi­ tive. Again, Russia needs a harbor that will never freeze. True, she is taking measures to utilize one of her own on the northern coast of Kola, and she is determined to have another in the Bos- pliorus; but that is no reason why she could not make sure - JACOB JUST F.N, DEALER IN Furniture 1 FURNITURE Furniture OF ALL KINDS, IIAS JUST RECEIVED A STOCK OF To which he invites the attention of the buying public.
