The Illinois farmers are said to be discour
aged, their corn crop is so great, and the price
consequently so small. That State is about as
badly off in the corn line as Delaware is in the
peach line. The bigger the crop the poorer
the farmer. 1t is predicted by some of the
farmers here that two more full crops of peach
es like the present one will bankrupt the State
and enable the r. r. Co. to retire from busi-

Mr.. Mason was born on Analoston

Annexation.

But few are aware bow much territory
has already been added to- the United
States. AT the birth of the nation, the
area OF the country was little more than
eight hundred thousand square miles,
Over nine hundred thousand square miles
were added, not long after the adoption of
the constitution, by the purchase Of Lou
,slana and the acquisition of Florida.
IN our own generation. nearly twelve
hundred thousand square miles have been
added by the annexation of Texas, the
treaty Of Oregon and the Mexican war.
Inc country is now more than three
times as large as it was under the adj
ninIstration of Washington. We have
extended our dominion onward from the
Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
We have also extended it towards the
Tropic, not only on The Atlantic Coast,
but also round the western border of the
Mexican Gulf. We do not speak of the
outlying region of Alaska. near the
North Pole MillUdukee Sentinel.

Cochrane accepted the chair. After

RESOLVED, That the Democratic Legisla

one Republican member of his seat, and
ending by the purchase of another, has
surpassed, if possible, all previous Iegis-
Ia,ures in an avowed contempt for com

common decency, and we commit both
the Democratic party and o. s. Winana
