Fire at Streator.

On Friday, the esd, there was a fire in the
Bank building at Streator, which but for
timely aid would have destroyed the build.
ing, new brick structure. The Monitor
printing Office is located in the I'd story, and
was somewhat damaged. Here il the Noni-
tors account, as given in an extra on Satur-
day last
About half past three yesterday, Friday, fire
was discovered in the Bank building, where
our printing Office is located. Smoke in dense
volumes forced its way through the flooring,
showing, as was subsequently found to be the
case, that the fire commenced in the ground
story, the Banking Office, caused by the heat
from the office stove penetrating the plaster
ing and igniting the pine lathing. The alarm
of fire was quickly given, and in short order
the citizens OF Streator formed an tmpromptu
fire brigade. The merchants furnished water
pals, which were filled with water and carried
to the place of immediate danger. The
clerk of the Swartz house, Mr.. A. E. Perry,
was promptly on hand with one of the Hy-
dropult machines Owned by Mr.. Swartz) for
which Charlie Mosher is agent. Mr.. Bassett,
OF T"nica. who was working in the building,
was speedily ut work with an AK. Following
MN came Charley M0sher, with an Ak; IL. N.
Royn, with = HydrspuIt, and many others
with pals of water. The flooring was cut
through, the Hydropult applied to the burn
ing timbers, and the fire soon extinguished.
Mr.. Fuller was among the first on the ground,
and directed the friends to thorough con.
quering of the fire.
Mr.. Dalton announces that the Monitor
hereafter is to be printed at home on both
sides. next week as though nothing had hap.
pened.
The Monitor promises to be one of the most

Why It Was.

An article in Greeley's 7rijuae, and anoth-
er IN the Brunswick On. j. Times, fully ex-
plain why the election in New jersey this
year resulted in favor OF the radicals. The
issue was not political, but monopoly VS. the
People-Railroad companies united and
working industriously in their own inter
ests,' labored to secure as members of the
legislature men they could count upon, or
whose interests were bound up in their own.
1t was on this issue that New jersey went re-
publican, and hence it is that Greeley
warns the radical party Of that state, and Is
pccially the legislature, that if they do not
cut loose from the great railroad and other
monopolics, republican power in New Jersey
will terminate as abruptly as it began, and at
the end Of single year ~

The greed of New England in insisting on
such enormous tariff levies to ''protect" Its cot.
ton manufacturers, is resulting like that of the
woman who killed the goose that laid the
golden egg. If New England, where real es
tate and wages are comparatively high, and
to which cotton must be brought from dis,
lance, can manufacture cotton goods at enor-
nous profit, why cannot Georgia dose in a re-
giOn Astounding in cheap lands, and abundance
of water power to be had for nothing, where
the labor of the "man and brother goes a-beg-
ging at half New England rates, and where
cotton grows at their very doors! The ques-
ton has occurred to shrewd men in Georgia,
and has received practical solution. There
is being built, in Macon, cotton factory
which is said to be one of the largest of the
kind in the world. 1t Is to contain all the
improvements and the best machinery sug-
gested by manufacturing experience. The
main machinery is to come from England.
1t has been demonstrated beyond dispute that
cotton goods can be manufactured more
cheaply in the south than in New England,
and this great factory at Macon, and other
similar ones that are being erected in other
parts of the south, arc the results of that dem
onstration.
The fact that the machinery for the Macon
mill is to be brought from England should
arrest attention. This machinery can be
bought abroad and imported into this coun
try, simply because our tariff on the materials
of which such machinery is made disables the
American machnists to compete with the
English. 1t is not III the south alone that
foreign mill machinery is being imported. A
writer in the Providence JQurnal states " that
the last six years, machinery to the vaule of
several million dollars has been imported from
England for manufacturers in Providence,
how a protective tariff does not protect Amer
lean mechanics.
There is another aspect in which the greed
Of the New England manufacturers is proving
disastrous to New England's prosperity The
census returns show an absolute decrease of
population all over New England outside of
the cities. The high price of the necessaries
Of life, brought about by the enormous tariff
impositlons, is depopulating the farming dis
trcts of New England and driving such of
the people into the cities who are fortunate
enough to find place among the galley slaves
in their cotton factories while the rest Of
them are being driven to seek new homes on
the cheaper and more productive lands OF the
west. where subsistence" at least, can be
obtaind with less wearing toll, and where
people can live in comfort without being
compelled to cover their property with mort
cages to keep up "stye"

Among the salutary effects OF the thrashing
the radicals got at the elections last fall not
the least is the wholesome reform it promises
in the matter of contested elections Some of
their heaviest losses arc attributed by tine tea
ders to the reckless course of congress in this
respect. Contestants are to be discouraged in
every way, and bill is to be passed prohibit-
ing unsuccessful contestants from receiving
any paw.

The Season and its Dangers.


The human body is chiefly composed of
tissues and fbres as sensitive to every change
in the condition of the atmosphere as the
most delicats electrometer, or the quicksilver
in q barometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs,
and the eXcretory organs are especially liable
to be affected by these variations, and the
best defence against their disastrous tenden-
CIV is to keep the digestive machinery, which
feeds and nourishes the whole system, in
/ good working order.
If The stomach is weak or disordered nei-
ther the blood nor the bile can be in heal
thy state, and upon the fitness of these two
IMPORTANT fluids for the Offices assigned to
them by nature and the regularity of their
flow. health in a great measure depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapors. as it often is at this season of the
wear the digestion should be an object of
peculiar care. If it is weak and langhid, the
whole physical structure will be enervated.
| If it is vigorous, the entire organization
will be strong to resist the untoward and de-
pressing influence of damp and vitisted
atmosphere,
g pure and powerful tonic is therefore es-
peciauy needed as a'saieguard against the
/ diseases most common in the spring, and
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters being the most
wholesome and potent medicine of the class
at presentknown, a course of.itis particular
Nv advisable at this period of the year. The
stomach will thereby be toned and strength
ened. the liver and bowels regulated, the ner-
vous system hraced up and nature put in q
state of active defence against the Eiasna
which superinduces intermittent and remit
I tent fevers, rheumatisms, nervous debility
headache, hypochondria and other complaints
which are apt to assail the nntoned and ua-
fortified organizations. The body is strength
ened without exciting the brain, and conse-
quently no unpleasant reaction follows Its
lrevi7ing and renovating operation.

the whole northern part of town

unseemly noises, reaching through
the day and nearly or quite the
entire night. Now VIC have no
objection to the colored people
giving vent to their exuberant pi.

be done within seasonable loars.
AS at present. conducted, it is a
nuisance, and it is the da.tyof ihe

do you expect residents nearer
