For Juiiffe of the Supreme Court, Sixth Dis. trict-- JAMES CARTWMGHT. For .Tudeesof the Circuit Court,Seventeenth Diurict-- CHARLES B. DONNELLY. JOHN O. CARVER. CHARLES E. FULLER. FOR COUNTY JUDGE. AH there is soon to be a vacancy in the office of County Judge, in this county, a word on that subject may not be out of place at this time. •. The Judge of £he County Court is the guardian of the dearest and best inter­ ests of the entire people. The rights of widows, the minor, and alMhose who are unable to protect themselves are committed to his care and protection. It requires a lawyer of ability and long experience to properly fill the position'. Amoiig these asking the votes of the pe;ople none are better qualified than Judge 0. E. Gilmore, of Woodstock Having once fiiled that office acceptably to the people and-a large experience in the law lias well fitted him for the duties of County Judge. His faithfulness whilein „ office, his able work for his party and his standing as a citizen and a lawyer all speal^well for his candidacy. The people of McHenry county cannot do better for their own interests than to vote for 0. H. Gilmore, of Woodstock, for County Judge. The people are for Gilmore, the ring and theii tools are against him. This is in Gilmore'sifavor. But why are the Ring against him? We will tell our readers next week, SENATOR MASON AND THE CUBAN RESOLUTION. ° Senator Mason has been heard from in the Uujted States Senate again, and the nation will applaud his brave words. The occasion was the consideration of the resolution pending in the Senate which declares that a state of war exists in Cuba. The resolution has been pend­ ing for some mouths, and its supporters have grown earnest in their expressions of having the question taken up. Early last December Senator Cullom echoed the feeling of the people, when, jn his able Appeal he spoke in favor of the recogni­ tion of Cuban belligerency. That argu­ ment made then has not yet been an swerei. May 18 was Illinois day at the Senate again, and Senator Mason, the able col­ league of Senator Cbllom, made an im­ passioned appeal for justice for Cuban patriots. The speech of Mason was ar­ gumentative and he reasoned from the facts as they are shown to exist in Cuba, showing that there is war in Cuba, and of such a character 8® to warrant its recognition. Going further he showeu up the outrages committed there upon women and children, upon wounded sol­ diers in hospitals, upon unarmed sol­ diers present by invitation under a ting truce, upon American citizens and American property, all of which called for intervention b,v our government in the name of national honor, in the name of justice and in the name of hu­ manity. - - . There was-nothing of the jingo in the speech. It was able but impassionateand so full of pathos, wit and invective that it will thrill the people of our country, and the people of Illinois are ,to-day proud of the men who represent them in the Senate. His speech drew a big crowd 10 the Senate and was the feature of the debate -- Wavkegan Gazette. f&FButter on theElgin Board of Trade Monday brought 14@15c, the lower price prevailing. The offerings were 9 tubs and the sales 298 at 15c and 433 at 14c. The. quotation committee de­ clared the market to be 14%c. The Dixon Sun says that Lee and Whiteside counties, have over $7,000 000 invested in dairy farms and fac tories, including the necessary stock aqd the various creameries and other systems of working up milk. The \^M|nbe} of cows supplying milk at the present time is 12,000, yielding 280,000 pounds of milk daily. At sixty cents hundred this amounts to over $50,000 a month. Hundreds of men are em ployed in this business. tST" The same old lie in - which Dem o crats have been accustomed to assert that their tariff law was more productive of customs revenue than the McKinley law is being revived now that the tariff discussion is about to reopen in -the Sen ate. They are encouraged in trotting out this ancient and shameless fiction by the fact that the customs receipts in March and April were abnormally large, because of the enormous impor tation of foreign goods in anticipation of the new tariff. The absolute un­ truthfulness of the statements, however, is proved by the following figures, which cover the entire history of the Wilson l®w from begining to date, and compare the customs receipts during that time with the corresponding months of the McKinley law. Customs receipts first 32 months of Wilson law, ?429,121,lh5. Customs receipts. first 32 months of McKinley law, $518,803,085. The McKinley bill protected American industry and actually produced $89,- 681,900 more revenue than was pro­ duced by the Democratic free trade Wilson bill that destroyed American in­ dustry,-- Ex. Knew Who Was Braying. In reply to a letter asking him to no­ tice Bob lngersol's recent re-hash made in Chicago, Dr. Crane told this story last Sunday: A certain young lawyer had as his first case the prosecution of a man charged with a trivial offense, to wit- stealing a goose. Anxious to make a reputation the youth studied hard, amassed innumerable precedents, and appeared in court surrounded by moun­ tains of law books. He made a speech burning with eloquence and ranging heaven, earth and Nevada in its foren­ sic scope. When he sat down breath­ less and perspiring, after three hours' pyrotechnic display, Mr. Storrs arose to respond as counsel for the defense. In his dry and inimitable wayhe said: Your honor, and gentlemen of the jury, 1 take pleasure in saying that I believe the address whtefr you have just heard is the most remarkable for eloquence and learning to which any­ one here has ever listened. It calls to mind a fable. A lion and an ass once went hunting together. For along time they were unsuccessful, until at last one of them proposed that the ass go back into the woods and bray while the lion would catch the game as they ran frightened out of the timber into the clearing. The ass did so, and such was the terror of the voice that every living creature fled,.and the lion was able to secure a numerous prey. After all the animals had gone the ass came trotting behind them, and, proud of his exploit, said to the lion: 'Didn't I scare'em though?' 'Yes,' returned the lion, stop' ping to pick his teeth, and regarding his companion with a curious look. 'Yes you did. I'd'a been scared myself if I hadn't known who it was."' * 'Why Pay Rent?

Story, Ttruggist. teaf The following is from the Chicago CliroBicle: How many times will the courts be called upon to decide the re­ sponsibility of telegraph Companies for damages resulting from the imperfect or delayed transmission of telegrams? It seems as though the dockets always held some such suits. The companies fall back upon their arbitrary conditions of sending, printed upon the back of their blanks, but these have long since been decided to be no excuse for either mis-sending or delay. A telegram sent from a Boston packing house one day ordering its agent not to buy hogs was not delivered till the next day, after he had purchased several carloads. The • telegraph company held that its liabil­ ities was limited to the price of the mes­ sage, but the appelate court very prop­ erly decided thaT%iis is not the law. Nor would the repetiton demanded by the "conditions" have tended to prevent the mistake or to protect the company from damages. There is nothing in the law which exempts a telegraph company from damages arising from the mistakes of its employes any more than any other private corporation, Objects of Milk-Shippers Union. It has been asked by several correspon dents at this office if the Chicago Milk Shippers' and producers' 1'nion's consti tution is not in violation of the Illinois law. We answerno. That some of the best lawyers have passed on the consti tution and thay say that it is in accord ance with the law. The Chicago Milk Shippers' Union organized for the mutual benefit of the shippers and dealers; to try to obtain fair and reasonable price for milk a£. liv ing rates and to ferret out the irrespon sible and dead-beat dealers. The reliable dealers are as much interested in this as the shipper.® The Chicago Milk Shippers' Union does not and will not antagonize legitimate dealers, nor does it propose to adopt any illegal methods. Theif* arguments are natural and purely for self preserva­ tion. There are no binding contracts and no forfeiture clauses nor fines. The Bhipper who does not see his own inter­ ests lay in supporting one another is simply cutting bis own throat by placing himself, at the mercy of unscrupulous parties.--A/i/A' Shippers' Bulletin.
