3 Much Needed Work.

Gentleman are now in town lneking pre-
parations for the publication of a very use
tui work, in the same style they are get
ting up for other counties in this state,
having completed the one for Bureau and
some other counties. They now have
about 20 men at work on Henry county,
and propose to set that number at work
on our county if sufficient encouragement
is offered in the way of subscriptions, The
work will contain a brief history Of the
state, and Of the county, and a complete
list of all the tax payers in the county, ar
ranged by townships, and giving age
birth place, etc, etc. It will be one OF
the most useful books of reference we can
have, and will in no manner interfere with
the detailed history Capt. Haverstick pro
poses to publish. We hope our citizens
will encourage the publication of this very
useful work.

Looks Bad.

1t is a very bad feature of the decision
by the electoral commission on the Florida
matter, that the division is on exact party
lines. and makes people fear that all deci-
sions will be reached by the same means.
If the same result had been reached, but
not by party division, it would have
been much more satisfactory We fear
that aHy result reached By party action
on the part of supreme Judges will not
give satisfaction or quiet to the country,
but will create feeling that our judges
are controlled by party politics, and that
our institutions are in danger from that
source.

gave security for his appearance at 10 O.

promptly on hand. He made motion
for continuance on account of the absence
of witnesses and it was granted-until O.

Illinois Local Debts.

The average city council being unequal
60 the task of obeying the constitution of
this state in regard to the required annual
tax to prepare for paying debts when they
fall due, our legislature are talking about
submitting an amendment to the eonstitu-
tion authorizing the conversion OF munich
pal indebtedness into state Indebtedness.
1t would, it is claimed, save the people OF
this state about $l,35O,0OG year. The
total municipal indebtedness is estimated
at $45, 100000. This includes county,
township and city bonds of all kinds out
standing. The interest on it at eight per
cent. the average rate,is $3,600,000. The
proposed amendment would convert all
these bonds into state bonds, bearing 5
Der cent, interest-so that there would be
an annual saving of per cent on the
whole amount of Indebtedness, 1t is in
tended that there shall be collected from
the indebted communities per cent. of
the indebtedness annually per cent for
interest and 2 per cent. for payment on
the principal-so that the debts may be
gradually extinguished. 1t is not intended
that the state shall assume the debts in
such way as to make the whole people
pay the obligations of the indebted com
munities. The state will issue its own
bonds in place of an equal amount Of
bonds of each Municipality, but it viii
collect in that municipality alone the taxes
required to pay these bonds; so that each
county, city and township will still pay it,
own indebtedness. but pay through the
state treasurer instead of its local treas
urer,

Our State Kouse q Failure.

Great dissatisfaction is expressed. by
all people who have visited Springfield. in
regard to the location of our state house
and the lack of pleasant grounds around it
On one side of it there are no grounds be-
longing to the state. 1t is in a miserable
way place. And as a specimen
of architecture it is a disgraceful botch.
And the representatives hall is too small.
And to cap the whole, the legislature is
now about to investigate the frauds and
rascalities and cheating by the fellows who
had jobs and contracts and "divvies" in its
construction.
And meaner still is the action of Spring
field in repudlating its agreement to pay
specified sum if the state would not re-
move the capital from that place.
We hope thorough investigation and
exposure of the whole business will take
place, and that the legislature will then
order the house taken down and moved to
to Chicago, which is the natural place
for the capital. Chicago, when we con-
slider the means of transportation, and of
communication by mail and telegraph, is
the most central place in Illinois, and has
the best accommodations for those who at
tend the sessions OF legislature.
