A DouBrFuL REPoRMER.-To say
that Hayes would reform any branch
of the government if elected President,
is in harmony with stating that Par
son Beecher is the most virtuous cler-
gyman in the country. 1t isas i'm
possible for Hayes to practice reform
in anything while in the hands-of the
Camerons and the corrupt Washing.
ton ring, as for Beechcr TO return to
the path of virtue. Neither viii ever
occur. They are both too old in crime,
and are in the hands Of the worst men
that ever infested either church or
State, and for the honest, virtuous peo-
pie of these United States TO confer
honors or position on either, is moral
and State suicide.

The talk about hard money or soft
money platform rs worse than useless
All Democrats now, and always have,
believed in hard money basis. Still
no one thinks il possible to resume
specie payments for years to come
They way to secure resumption is to
drive out corruption from high places,
establish an honest and economical
government, and restore public conf.
dence. Elect Tildcn President, and the
object is accomplished.

TRE WlNNEBAGo CHIEF

= III W ~ " tAtAfsA
We are frequently inquired OF by
young men why Senator Cameron is
nicknamed the "Winnebago Chiei."-
A full answer to this inquiry we find
ina recent number of the New York
Sun and the reasons therefore are en-
bodied in the following article:
Recent events at Washington and
Cincinnati the surrender OF the Grant
Administration to the Camerons, and
tha nomination Of Hayes by the Penn
sylvania Ring delegation, bring the
elder Cameron into view as the leading
and controlling spirit ofthe Republican
campaign. The President in office is
his, and the candidate presented by the
party is his, by oven stronger title.
Nobody prctcnds to doubt that the
only substantial triumphs achieved in
the late Republican Convention were
those Of Don. Cameron, the son of Simon,
and the new Secretary Of War. From
President to tide water the whole Ad-
ministration is in spasm of gratitude
to HIM for this great service, and the
Administration that expects to come
in with Hayes is penetrated by thrill
Of affectionate administration for the
young Winnebago chief who laid that
beautiful ambush for Blaine and his
exulting band.
lnasmuch, therefore, as il seems
pretty certain that in case of Hayes
election the Camerons are to rule the
country in his name, the career and
character of Senator Simon are not the
least important matters for popular
consideration. We will begin by re-
lating briefly one of the earliest adven.
lures Of this venerable marauder-thc
ono whereby he acquired the proud
title Of the "Winnebago Chief"
In July, 1888, Simon was appointed
nobody now knows how "a Com
missioner TO examine claims of half.
breed relatives oil the Winnobago In
dians, and debts due by the same In.
dams, for the payment of which pro-
vision was made in the treaty con-
cluded with them on the lst Of No
vembcr, 1881" The other Commits
sioner was one James Murray of Mary
land. He was nobody-a hypochon-
driac, irritable, timid, retiring, and
easily overborne or manipulated. ST.
mon was the Commission and hav-
ing made up his mind from the begin
ming TO be the commission, he INDUCED
without restraint that thrifty disposi-
ton for which he has since become
famous, and made ample preparations
before he left home for bagging great
or part Of the bounty which the Gov.
crnment intended for the Indians. He
selected for the delicate service he had
in view one d. M. Broadhead, and Civ.
ing into his custody carpet bag stuff.
cd with notes of the Middletown Bank,
of which Simon was then cashier, the
two set out for the scene of action at
Prairie du Chen. They arrived about
the goth August, and regarding the
noble red man and all his hali.brced
relatives as lawful nrcv tbov wero
soon dr;v,ne . hr;.t "a ..,a,..,s

Mr.. Burral1's Will.

On Saturday the will of the late Edward
Burial, Jr., was admitted to probate,
letters tcstamentary being issued to
Charles NJ. Osborn, the executor appoint
ed in the will, Mr.. Osborn giving bonds in
the penal sum Of $l50,0O0, with Cornelius
Lynde and r. r. Cable as sureties. The
will is dated January Goth. 1878, and was
witnessed by David 0. Reid and James NJ
BeardsIey. 1t is in Mr.. Burral's own
handwriting and is not lengthy, being all
on one sheet of ruled foolscap. In it, after
directing the payment Of his funeral ex-
penses and just debts, the testator be-
queaths to his wife, Mrs. Ann G. Burial,
who has already deed to the homestead
on which she resides, all his books, furn-
ture and household effects; the gift not to
be considered or construed as in lieu of
dover, but in addition to the dover pro-
vided by law. He then directs the rest of
his personal estate to be sold and all his
remaining property TO be DIVIDED into
|
two seventies to his son, Charles E. Burial,
and quit claim of all his sons indebted
ness to him; two seventies to his daugh
ter Grace Mrs. George p. Frysinger;)
two seventies to his youngest daughter,
Alice, and the remaining one seventh tC
go in equal parts to his other son, Arthur
aud his remaining daughter. Mary 1t i:
understood that the seeming inequality in
the shares of Miss Mary Burial and hel
brother Arthur, is owing to the fact Of
their having been previously provided fol
by their grandmother, the late Mrs. Anr
Jack.
1t has been thought that Mr.. Burial
made later will but no such documen
has yet been found Should one be found
of later date, it would, of course, super
cede this one.

NOTES HERE AND THERE

No news yet from the official papers
stolen from the city council room.
People were busy all day, to-day, in
pumping or bailing the water from their
cellars.
The street railroad company had men
engaged, to-day, 10 repairing its track near
the corner of Rock River and Dock streets.
FROM farmers in town to day it is
learned that eUery bridge between Milan
and Edgington was washed away by the
heavy rain of last Saturday.
The water in the slough is now higher
than it has been any time this spring, aud
the strong wind caused the waves to wash
away and do great damage to the road
embaukmcnts crossing the slough.
Acting Mayor Lundy has discontinued
the work on Moline avenue, because the
city has not the money to pay for it. By
the way-who is the author of the idea of
scattering saw dust on the macadam p
aud who knows whether it will work well
The impression seems to be that it won I
pack, and that the labor is worse than
thrown away.
The decision of the supreme court of
the United States, published in this paper,
sustains the course of S. Il. Porter Esq +
our county treasurer, iu selling the Rock
ford road, and makes Mr.. Smith, of Des
Moines, all right on his purchase of the
road. The company will now have to
