To every man not lost.4 in the mire of politicial partisanism, not wholly given over to the spoils system, not. absolutely converted to the doctrine of "getting there;" to each man who has-what lie thinks of the Republic written I o n his brow I appeal: . What do you .think of Alabama send­ ing eight representatives to Congress on a total vote of 69,Sl7? • What do you think of Arkansas send­ ing six representatives, to. Congress on a total vote of 38,177? What do you think of South Carolina sending seven representatives to Con­ gress on a total vote of 4i,445 ? What do you thini of Mississippi send­ ing seven representatives to Congress on a total vote of 26,865 ? . The whole state of Florida did not cast for its two representatives within yi3 votes as many as the ninth Wisconsin for Alex. Stewart. ' I can show you six Democratic repre­ sentatives elected by a vote that, if apr plied to Wisconsin, would feive her 122 members in this house. I caiishow you 35 Democratic districts where the congressman elected did cot poll 6,000. ' •.... . - l ean show you four Democratic dis­ tricts where the congressman elected did not-poll 3,000. I can show'you two Democratic' die-J ovjavebtmeuls t^ At a meeting of the Republican Congressional Committee for this, the Eighth Senatorial District, held at Auro­ ra on Saturday last, it was decided to hold the Congressional Convention at Aurora on Monday, May 11th.

ISP" A bill has been introduced into Congress to raise the tax on the manu­ facture and sale of cigarettes from 50 cents°to §50 per 1,000. If this should pass it might have a tendency to prolong the existence of a class of hair-brained youths, who are committing slow suicide by the use of the deadly cigarette, and perhaps a few healthy persons might be saved out of the batch that now seems determined to rush into eternity through the medium of cigarette smoking. SS^With the advent of spring general business shows a gradual revival throughout the country. The release of a large amount of grain in Chicago, by the opening of lake navigation, promises to relieve the stringency in monetary matters in that great center of north­ western trade. There are large quanti ties of grain, chiefly corn, west of Chica­ go, awaiting an opportunity for ship­ ment, where there has been scarcely any the past three years. If a large per cent of this surplus product should be moved this summer, the result cannot fail to be stimulating to all kinds of trade and bus­ iness, as money will be circulating more freely than it has done for some years although prices are generally ruling low A Question Answered. "How does it happen," asks the Mug­ wump New York Evening Post, "that we are not sharing in the prosperity which English mills are now enjoying?" Here is an answer. The Democratic tariff permits the mills of Great Britain to do our business for us. The purpose of the Wilson bill was to increase production abroad and restrict production at home. British trade re ports and our own manufacturing statis tics show that it has accomplished that purpose perfectly. British factories are working over tim to produce the goods which under ade <}uate protection wore made on American soil. And this state of things will cot- tinue as long as the Democratic party is in power. Will not the /.Vfiling Post ask a few more questions? $1 50 OO IN COLD GIVEN For Selling "Story df Spain md Cuba " The International News & Book Co., Baltimore, Md., offer $150 to anyone selling in three months 175 copies of their new book, "Story of Spain, and Cuba."

At Cripple Creek, Col., and elsewhere, are being made daily, and the production for 1886 will be the largest ever known, estimated at Two Hundred Million Dol­ lars. Cripple Creek alone is producing over One Million Dollars a month, and steadily increasing.

The stock of second hand furniture that has been on sale here the past three weeks, has closed out, so tha£ anyone Coming to Nunda to purchase furniture will have to take up with new goods. Prof. Calhoun has been engaged by the school board as principal for another year. This speaks well for the professor as a principal and instructor. He is a hard working teacher and is making our school an ideal oue, and the school board and the people appreciate it. The social entertainment, given by the pupils of the high school, at the school building last Thursday night, was a grand success both in attendance and programme. The exercises consisted of vocal and instrumental music rendered by the pupils of the high room, the grad­ uating class taking a prominent part. This was the first musical entertainment given by the high school and reflects much credit on the teachers and pupils. Three young gentlemen from McHenry, Harry and George. Hanly and Milo Howe, members of the graduating class, took a prominent part in thi exercises and did splendidly. Everything passed off pleasantly and in good order, and was enjoVed by all. The social part ot the programme was very enjoyable, and after spending about thirty minutes in hand shaking and sociability, the com­ pany dispersed. Everyone expressed themselves as having spent a profitable and enjoyable eveniifg. Let us have more of the same. J. P.

F. SWAN,. GREAT DEPARTMENT STORE ELGI^, ILI -^9 STORE HINTS AT JOHN FW ANSON'S Profit sharing shall be all on your side for a week or more. Two good reasons for this: I'irst, 1 lie great need of cash; secondly, upon careful investiga tion we find we have bought too many goods, especially so in shoes and capes, and both tor ladies, hut we will triveyou correspondingly low prices all around, provid- ing you will come and take the goods away at once. Here is a specimen of a few items which should be an index to the whole stock : Mexico and the Monroe Doctrine. In hi& annual nnsfcage President Diaz, of Mexico, reviews the Monroe Doctrine at some length. Alter approving of it in general terms he says: But we do not understand it to be sufficient for the objects to which we. as­ pire, that only upon the United States, in spite of their immense resources, is the obligation incumbent to aid the other republics of this hemisphere against at­ tacks of foreign powers, even if these can be considered possible, but that each one of: said republics, by means of declara­ tions similar to that of President Mon­ roe, should proclaim that any attempt of foreign power to reduce the territory or the independence or to change the in­ stitutions of a single one of the American republics should be considered as a per­ sonal affront. In this way the doctrine to-day called the Monroe doctrine, would be the American doctrine in the most ample sense, and although it originated in the United States, it should be among the international rights of all Americans; It is quite likely that formal action will be taken committing the Mexican gov­ ernment to the principal of America for Americans and republican institutions for the western continent. Mexico is not an ally to be despised. In any struggle which might arise from an attempt on the part of the United States to enforce the American doctrine, its moral support would be, worth a great deal. Other American states "would probably follow its example, and the ultimate result would be the acceptance of the Monroe doctrine by the civilized world. iFOX LAKE. Now that the spring blossoms are in evidence, the^fishermen beginning to arrive and every prospect of a successful summer season being at hand, we have decided to let the people know that we are still numbered among the living mortals. Quite a number of guests registered at the different hotels around the lake Sat­ urday and Sunday. Ed. Howard, of the Howard House, who has been sick all winter, is able to be around again. Geo. I>rury, who has been spending the winter at Waukegan, is again at the lake. The new Columbia Club is nearly com­ pleted, and when finished will be one of the finest around the lake. A number of changes took, place with the opening of the season. Mr. Fletcher, who last year managed the Nippersink, will this year take charge of thf Mineola. and Mr. Ostrander, of McHenry, will munajje the Nippersink. Tilden & Winne of Elgin, have bought the Lakr-side and are making extensive improvements. A large number of Chicago guests and fishermen were entertained at the Gra­ ham House, Long Lake, Sunday,(and we hear had exceptionally good luck, one gentleman capturing a fifteen pound pickerel.
