County Poor House.

The report of the county Superintendent Of
the Poor House laid before the Board of Super
visors at their recent session, was passed over
in our minutes with a ''bref mention On
reading it over, after the attack on that insti-
tuition in the Beard, we:concluded that it de-
serves more attention, and give it therefore en-
tire:
10 tie Honorable Board Of Supervisor Of In Sltlle
County,:
The undersigned would most respectfully re-
port to your honorable body, that during the last
year there have been received into the county
house forty.ive persons, twentv-eght males and
seventeen females There have died during the
year six of the inmates and two have been born
| in the house There are now In the house thir-
ty.nine. OF this number fifteen are insane. The
general health of the inmates during last year
has been good compared with some years POST,
! and the Institution has been conducted with
marked ability by those having it in charge,
After careful and thorough examination of the
| inmates feel free to say that no complaint has
been made but what they have been treated with
| kindness and nave all necessary wants supplied
We have in stock upon the farm, three horses,
| FIVE cows, seventeen hogs, twenty-one pigs.
We have now growing thirty-tive acres of
corn, four acres OF potatoes, one acre of beans
Have harvested eight acres of oats and ten of
! hay. The farm has been put under the highest
state of cultivation possible and its products,
both in quality and quantity, will compare ia
vorably, we think, with any farm of its size in
LaSalle county.
We find there is a slow but steady increase in
| numbers, and that soon more room will be need.
| ed than the buildings now afford, and the ques-
ton now rises whether addition shall be made
| to the building now on the farm, and thereby
| increasing the risk of destruction by fire, or
whether the time has not come when more per.
manent structure should be built, so as to lessen
! the risk of loss of property and life.
There has been sold IN produce from the coun.
| ty farm and passed to the credit of the county
by your superintendent, the sum of 1901. After
| deducting this amount from the gross expenses,
week to the county, including board clothing
| the permanent improvements placed upon the
farm, amounts to $l.G5. This is by far less than
any year since the county farm has been under
! cultivation. The expense of board simply does
not exceed 75c per week.
/ cannot but feel that under the care and
! management of Mr. and Mrs. Phelps every
thing is done for the best interest of the county,
and at the same time due care and attention is
extended TO the inmates. 1t has been my aim to
keep down the expense to the lowest point posi-.
sible. consistent with the comfort of the inmates,
and for the accomplishment Of this eud have
givenall the details my best ate ution.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.

Superin tendent of Poor.

Essential Meanness,

Webster, of the La Sale Press, passes ordi-
nari!y for genial, pleasant sort of fellow; but
as an editor he is habitually guilty of mean
nesses of which a common sneak thief would
be ashamed, and for which the law allows no
punishment but vigorous, disgust-insprcd
kick. Several gentlemen meet, say in smo-
king car, and commence joking each other
about something the merest film of the mag
nation. A year afterwards this bit of pleas
antry appears as grave charge against one
or the other in the Press. 1t is too low and
despicable business to get mad about, and
the editor is generally allowed to sink unkick-
ed into contempt. OF a piece with this nau.
seating style of business is the despicablc
falsehood the Press of last week rcvives about
certain expressions attributed to Mr.. julius
Avery in reference to President Lincolns
emancipation proclamation, at the time it was
issued. The thing, we are told, was got off
on Mr.. Avery three or four years ago as Joke,
unhappily in the presence of this talemongcr-
ing creature of the Press, vino repeats it, old
woman like, year after year as a grave charge,
unconscious Of the indecency of retailing such
blasphemy in print.
Webster doubtless is ready to stoop to any
amount'ofabject servillty to his master, Burton
Cook, to retain the post office at La Sale. but
we doubt whether Cook asks or expects of
him to make himself quite so despicable in his
behalf

ONE lssuE.-The Ottawa RpUiiican design
eddy misreprescnts us in saving that in our
article last week entitled Zone Issue" we
"simmered down the contest in this congress
ional district to the single issue of the tariff.
We spoke of that MS zone issue" involved. but
not as the only one, by IA long shot
Mr.. Cooks denomination for congress was
undoubtedly opposed by the Republican. Cor.
win wing on the ground of his free trade
proclivitics, whence we naturally preferred to
see lim nominated rather than Corwin: but
as between Mr., Cook and Mr.. Avery, there is
certainly quite us wide difference on the
tariff question as there was between Cook and
Corwin, Mr.. Avery being full up to democratic
ideas on the tariff question, while Mr.. Cook is
free trade on little beyond iron, salt and lum.
Der. In short, the FREE TRADER never re.
garded Mr.. Cook on the tariff as "quite toler.
able and safe for western interests" but it did
regard him, in that respect, as great way in
advance of fossilized old clay whig, BY
when he was attempted to DC supplsnted by
weak minority in his own purity.

U. g. ssnator...Koerner OF Logan ?


The next legislature of Illinois will have a
United States Senator to elect in place of
Dick Yates. Assuming that the Republicans
will have majority in the legislature,-a
matter Of which Gov. Palmer is said to have
taken due care in making his recent apportion-
ment,-the question naturally arises, in the
selection of candidates for the legislature,
whom are they in favor of for L. S. Senator |!
The prominent candidates among the Repub-
licans for that high position appear to be
Hon. John A Logan and Hon. Gustavus Koern-
er. The difference between these two men is
considerable. Logan is scheming bargain
ing, trickey, unprinciplsd politician, and moth
ing else. He went INTO congress as radical
about fsur years ago, as poor as Jobs turkey.
He has since been "head center" in about
every corrupt ring from Alta vela upward,
In four years, at a salary of $4,000 year.
(not more than enough to pay his tavern bills)
he has amassed . fortune moderately estimated
at $25OOoO He and Oglesby stole directly
from the treasury, in the Calumet river i'm
provement swindle, $4,000. Gov. Koerner
on the other hand, is heightened, honorable
and scrupulously honest man. He has held
the Office Of state SENATOR Lieutenant governor,
circuit judge, &C., distinguishing himself in
all these positions by his heightened bearing
and scrupulous integrity, and he remains con-
sequently, poor man. In point of culture,
education, and all those higher qualities that
make the man and the statesman, the differ
ence between Kocrner and Logan Is as that
between civilized white man and baboon
Yet with all these palpable facts and, consider
atoms before them, and understanding full
well that the issue lay between Koerner and
Logan, the recent republican convention, that
nominated E. F. Bull for state senator, in.
structed him, in case Of his election, to vote
against Koerner and for John A. Logan This
is, at least, a legitimate inference from the fol-
lowing resolution which that convention
adopted OIL rs. s.... .-. ..t .t..,-
Resolced, That in John A. Logan we recognize a
patriot true to his country in the hour of peril
bravo soldier and true statesman and that he is
decidedly eur first choice for United States Sen.
ator.
How do our German friends like that! Are
they prepared to say, by their votes for E. F..
Bull, that John A. Logan is ''decidedly their
first choice for .. s. Senator" In opposition
to their distinguished courtryman, the Hon.
Gustavus Koerners Why are the republicans
of this district SO anxious to forstal a free
canvas, when the Legislature shall have met
between the relative merits of Koerner and
Logan 2 Why, in short. this snap Judgment
on the Germans, without word of premonl-
ton when the delegates to this senatorial con-
vention were elected Fox is slaughtered at
Ottawa, Koerner at Ell Paso, and the Germans
sit by sucking their fingers, and rote that it is
all right. Wouldn't it pay them to look
around and see if they can't do better for their
eminent countryman than by voting for E. F.
Bull
