SMITB D. ATKINS, President. E. H. MARSH, Secretary. FOR SUPERVISOR. As the time draws nigh for the election of Township officers, the matter of who is to represent this town on the Board of Supervisors for the next two years ie naturally being discussed. For the past ten days we have interested ourselves in getting expressions from the people in regard to this matter, and were not sur prised to see the unanimity which pre vails in favor of the present incumbent, W. A. Cristy, This is but a just tribute to a faithful and efficient official. Mr. Cristy has tilled the office of Supervisor for the past four years with credit to himself and honor to his constituents. He has administer­ ed the affairs of the town in a capable and economical manner, and to the en­ tire satisfaction of the tax payers of the town. Therefore, at the earnest solicita­ tion of his many friends, he has consent­ ed to announce himself as a candidate for another term, and will, no doubt, receive the nomination in caucus by acclamation. He has acquired a stand­ ing and influence on the Board of Super­ visors second to no man who ever repre sented this town, which is of untold ben-' fjt, not only to himself but those whom he represents. The PLAINDEALER, therefore, take* great pleasure in endorsing the candi dacy of "For Supervisor, W. A. CRISTY." On the Elgin Board of Trade on Monday the demand for batter was suf­ ficiently active to make a firm market at 18c. Bidding opened at 18c and -dropped back to 17c on some lots, but the market closed with the market uni­ formly 18c; 606 tubs were offered and the sales were 581 tubs. IS?" The Belvidere Standard says: "Senator Evans has introduced a bill iD the legislature to restrain officials of state institutions from regailing their friends at the public's expense. Now ij the legislature and state administration could be restrained from creating useless sinecures to pay off political debts with Jbhe state might yet be happy." - OUR COUNTY'S LOSS. If reports are true the citizens- of this and the adjoining counties are about to sustain a loss as ureat as when the Cook county machine failed to elect Madden or Lorimer to the United "States Senate. While the people of the adjoining couu- ties, that have"! never had a familiar acquaintance with Czar Donnelly, of Woodstock, and hi a peculiar" methods of political procedure, may never know 'their loss, still the people of McHenry county will know at once that they have sustained a loss thatsejiwr^B can ex­ plain or express. Jud^e Donnelly has been taken into full membership with the Cook County Republican Machine for the better manipulation of his political methods, and has also formed a partner­ ship with a prominent Chicago lawyer tor the practice of law, and unless some powerful influence is brought to bear at once he may soon cease to be a citizen of our county. For the respectable, decent, orderly Republican voters cf McHenry county to attempt to hold a Republican convention or caucus, or nominate county officers without the assistance of the Czar and the other political barnacles at the county seats would be an utter impossibility; It is possible a few mass meetings at once with appropriate reso­ lutions would induce the Czar to change his plans and remain with us until he be­ comes a candidate for the United States Senate or the Presidency. - In this way he could continue to parcel out the' offices and run and manipulate our caucuses and conventions until he takes full charge of the government. But if nothing can be done by the people of our county to keep the Czar in our midst, then it is but just that before deserting us he should distribute the offices for the next ten or fifteen years and appoint his successor as County Judge, in order to relieve the voters of this county of the great responsibility of naming candi­ dates for the offices to be filled in future years. If the Czar must leave us, and if be will not before going appoint the county's officers for the next ten years, then we insist that in addition to helping the Cook county machine control the politics of Cook county and the state at large, he must also, from his Chicago office, assist the voters of McHenry county in their almost hopeless task of tryirg to select their own candidates. Donnelly was an accidental Judge. He never carried but one town outside cf Dorr in a caucus where he had a candi­ date acainst him. He ia a machine politician of the worst type, and as his friends can all bear testimony he never yet repaid a political debt or favor. Hie political methods are such as would bring disgrace to the lowest ward in Chicago. He has always belonged to the Maddeu- Lsrimer Cook county machine that tried so fftrd to defeat McKinley instructions at the last state convention. ,0e"&nd hie slick, smooth, oily political partner, L. T. Hoy, spent a week at Springfield during the late Senatorial fight, trying hard to secure the defeat of the Hon. William E. Mason for United States Sen­ ator, in opposition to the voice of the Republican voters of the state. They expected, by the help of the gang, that Donnelly would be named for Circuit Judge of this district, and that Hoy would secure the position of Collector oi Internal Revenue. But what a change. Czar Donnelly was so badly beaten for Circuit Judge that his name was not pre­ sented to the Elgin Convention, and now that Mason is Senator, Hoy might as well have asked to be Secretary of State It is possible that this and other circum stances make it necessary for the Czar to change his headquarters for a time at least. No matter what political or ganization he affiliates with in Chicago, we can commend him to its members ae being fully their equal, regardless of their methods or means of procedure. THE CRETAN TROUBLE. The dispatches fron^ Europe and the Mediterranean concerning the Grecian- Cretan difficulty are irreconcilable, con­ flicting and confusingl Compared, sifted and treated in reason,it would seem that there is some warrant for the belief that Russia will insist upon Greece retiring from (. rete, but will support a demand by the Cretans for annexation to the kingdom ; that Eugliand and Germany are desirous of the expulsion of the Greeks without any understanding what­ ever, though England has refused Ger­ many's offer to join in a blockade of Grecian ports as a menace to that power. The Balkan states are a unit in oppo- sil ion to Turkey, and in friendship to Greece, and it is not improbable that there will be a rising in Macedonia. Greece is not a military power of impor­ tance. Her army is ill-equipped and she has little military training. She has not the numerical strength to do battle with the Turk, who has a finely equipped and numerically a great army of trained men. ^ «• On the other hand Greece is fired by patriotic spirit, unquestionably has the sympathy of the people of the civilized world, has claims upon the generosity of Russia, is supported by the states once hers, and of which Turkey stripped her; has right on her side, and if she does not prevail, can precipitate a war with Tur­ key that Will involve all the powers of Europe despite their ardent wish that there shall be no co flict in the East. tST"The Republican house caucus has voted to support a regulative" measure the design of which is to hamper the de partment stores. Department stores are patronized by the common people be­ cause they sell goods at a close margin, •lust why any Republican, whose party has always declared itself to be in favor of the people, should resolve in favor of abolishing stores that are a benefit to the common people is not easy of com­ prehension. If our legislature believes department stores to be fit subjects for antagonistic legislation aii the plea that they are driving smaller stores out of existence, then the same logic should be used against large manufacturing plants that are making it impossible for the smaller concerns to manufacture ma­ chinery in competition with 1jhem.--Ex. l@"Th§ soldiers of the Grand Army are dying at the rate of a hundred a day. Every fifteen minutes of the twenty-four hours the final taps sound for some one who wore the blue. Each year pi'ts un­ der the sod more old soldiers than there ire enlisted men and officers in the entire United States army. Time is carrying them off faster in the nineties than bul­ lets did in the sixties-. The war lasted four years to tho month. In those four years 84,000 men fell in battle on the Cnion side. But now between 35,000 and 40,000 die in the course of nature ach succeeding twelve months. And for flvery three Union veterans who go to fame's eternal camping ground, two Confederates are numbered with the dead. •• t®" Major McClaughrey has been ap­ pointed Warden of the Joliet Peniten­ tiary, a position he has filled with great ability for twelve years under former Republican state administrations. He was in charge of the btate Reformatory Ht Pontiae when he received the appoint­ ment of warden of the penitentiary. Flon. Geo. Torrence, of Pontiae, a very estimable gentleman, succeeds to the Superintendency of the Reformatory.

Alger, the next Secretary of War: "I was on Gen. Alger's staff when he wan commander-in-chief of the Grand Army and knew him very well. There isn't » man in the Grand Army who doesn't believe that Gen. Alger was a brave ami a good soldier, and we are delight to see him made Secretary of vV"ar. Jt is a. mat­ ter of considerable congratulation to us that both the President and Secretary of War will be members of the Grand Army. We havedone very well in the matter oi 4>reiideirfB j&ince the war. President •McKinley~will be the fifth, the others hav­ ing been Grant, Hayes, Garfield and ^Harrison." 'The Times-Herald truly says of Mark Hanna: "He will be a notable fig ure in national politics and a factor ii national legislation. His ability is attest ed not only in the management of hi> own business, but as a manager of mei and in the shaping of policies. His in tegrity is unquestioned. His patriotism and public spirit are unsurpassed. Hif tact is perfect. His methods are opei to the light of day. In private and in pub lie life he is a model /citizen. There is nr smell of scandal on his garments. Th< calcium glare of a heated political can VQHB was powerless to reveal any shadow on his character. There are no apologiei to be made for Mark Hanna. EDITOR PLAINDEALEE Now that the spring election is near it is well to exer­ cise common Sense and appreciation of an office honorably, fairly and economi­ cally administered, and again support, for supervisor, W. A. Cristy, who has in the past represented us in the county council to our entire satisfaction, and has, after strong solicitation by his num­ erous friends, declared himself a candi­ date and should be renominated by acclamation on caucus day.. Mr. Cristy is a young man of sterling character, capable, trustworthy, and has discharged his duties as supervisor and justice of the peace without fear or favor, on the aide of right, in all casses, and, we be­ lieve, no better choice could be made. Inasmuch as Mr. Cristy has done yeoman service to elevate his fellow townsmen to higher office, he now is entitled to sup­ port from all, regardless of political oelief. A RE A DEB tST" There are hundreds of appointees on the Illinois salary lists who render little if any service to the state And dozens who are on the legislative lists who draw salaries during the session, who never once set foot in Springfield Illinois is borrowing money for current expenses. ffeSf Ex-Presideut Harrison never talk^ without saying something. At Indian­ apolis Monday he said to the students of the University: " \\ hen I was a bo> I used to think they made too much oi the hatchet and the cherry tree, that we ethearalized Washington too much It really seemed to me" that I could nol be as good a boy as he was, and that was a little discouraging. As investi­ gator after investigator has uncovered the history of Washington and the inci dents of his life we find that there is not so much Of a nimbus about his head, but therejfjiinore granite under his feet, and that is the sort of men we need for these timet>--men whose feet are on a granite foundation. We can dispense with the aureole. * ~ 1©°* If the newspaper reports are relia ble, Alfred Speer, of Rocky Ridge, has a .log worth keeping. The story goes that one night not Jong since, while Speer was ijoing toward his home in a by-road, a robber confronted him and demanded his money. Speer tossed his wallet contain­ ing several hundred dollars to his dog and said: "Take this home." The dog, which had been taught to carry parcels, caught the Wallet in his mouth and -scampered homeward. When the high­ wayman saw the animal disappear with the package he turned- and fled. Mr Speer rushed into his house a few minutes Kter and found the dog before the kitchen stove with the wallet in his mouth and the money untouched. (ST*A Congress of Mothers has just closed a session in Washington, with more or less varying degrees of success. Some very rigid methods, ruleB and regu­ lations for the discipline of children were adopted, but when the matter of dress reform came up for discussion the well dressed rallied all the lovers of pretty gowns, fine bonnets, bright ribbons and iemininities to their cause and by a sub­ stantial majority floored a well intended resolution on the subject. Th« strength of the argument was that ell vtomtn mothers included, lovfe to dresB eo as to elicit general admiration. IT takes winu, gall scintillating aero bating imagination, several railroad passes, a white shirt and an empty grip sack to run a newspaper, but money is of no use, Keep that for the sordid trades­ people who expect to pay for their wares The Lord loveth a cheerful giver and we trust He has got the editor on his list Don't worry about the editor. He has o license from the universe to act as a door mat for the community. He'll get hit- sheet out somehow, stand up for the town and its people, whoop it up for you when you run for office, lie about your pigeonytoed daughter's wedding, blow about your part-his-hair-in-the-middle aon when he gets a $4 job, weep over your shriveled soul when it is released from your body, and is supposed at your giddy wife's second marriage. In brief don't worry about the editor; he'll get along some way. TAXES! TAXES!
