iBi0Dos of the lshway put into the Henry dam
recently the Henry R,rn'blirm adds
This improvement is intended to promote fish
culture in the river, and To give fish the bcncht
Of the entire length Of the stream. More atlen-
ton ought To be paid to fish culture by those who
live on the Illinois river and secure 1t possible,
the best kinds Of fish that the river can produce
aud sustain. Unless this is done, and we look To
our own interests We don't know who will care
or do for us what ought to be done for our own
good in this direction. We ought To have and
must have more varieties of fine fish, and they
can he secured If the people along the river seek
them. There ought TO be more interest taken,
and steps taken to have all we need, and To pro-
mote their growth,
Yes, we need all that, and also a good law for
the protection of fish after they are gotten into
the river, As the legislature meets this winter,
all who take an interest in the subject through
out the state should see that il gets he
fore that body. Much opposition we are told has
heretofore come from the rural members whose
constituents live back from the river. As these
people never onicmn game law, while the pre-
scrvaton Of game is vastly more expensive than
that OF fish, (havc they figured up the amount Of
grain devourcd by our fcathercd game.) an OBJ

to both houses, there is little reason to suspect
that they would be tabled or disregardcd. The
late election having demonstrated the great ne
cessty of more brain food to large part Of the
states population, the least the legislature could
do in the premises would be the passage of flaw
to assist in making fish plenty.

those who arc. You ought to stop Mr.. Field;
YOU ought to stop WattersoM's ally and dam
eerous schemes for revolutions" To this
the Two democrats are said to have rejoined
that they were in favor Of carrying out the
agreement involved in the Electoral Com
mission in good faith; they yet felt that a
gross injustice and more was being done;
that they firmly believed Mr.. Tilden elect.
cd, and tnat they we're not disposed to inter-
fere in any peremp,ory way to stop the re-
~sistance which other democrats were making
60 on because they eympathized with the in.
digestion and bitter sense Of wrong which
was felt by their fellow democrats who were
6libus ering and threatening r. evolution. On
this, it is said, Morton replied, "The DEM
ocratic party cannot afford to inaugurate
Mr.. Tilden, and | will show you why. You
may flibus,er and carry the count past the
4th Of March, and you may forcibly inau-
gura,e Mr.. Tilden either here or elsewhere
aud thus plunge the country into a revolu-
tionary country; but whenever you do this
when you are fully committed to til
shall make public certain dispatches Of
which l will now show you some samples
which will prove to the country that your
candidate first tried to bride his way into
the white house, and, having failed IN that,
now tries to secure the object of his unscru.
pulous ambition by revolution" Hcreup-
on, it is sud. he showed to these democra s
such dispatches as proved to them that they,
At least. could not afford to tolerate anything
like q violent attempt to seat MIR. Tilden.
When Senator Morton had seen that his
revelations had produced the effect he ex-
pecsed upon these gentlemen. he said, "Your
people might perhaps make unpleasant dis
~coveries on our aide if we push this %inves,i.
CATION but you cannot discover anything
which will commit or convict our candidate.
You cannot show him to have taken any
personal part in anything that was done, or
to have had any knowledge of a relation to
dubious transactions. But what l have
shown you proves that you democrats can
not afford to flibuster or to attempt a forci.
bic Inauguration Of your man. The revela-
tions which would follow would cover you
all with unending disgrace. 1 ask you,
therefore, to go to Mr.. Field and to Mr..
Wa,terson in confidence, and tell them FROM
me why they must stop all ilibustering and
revolutionar, plots and let the count pro.
ceed." And it is said that this revelation,
duly made, was what drew the fires from I'm.
der the boilers of those democrats who were,
until that time, bent on a forcible %ipang,ra-
ton of their candidate.

THE LABOR SITUATION.

Says the Chicago Tribune:
The testimony of the employers Of Chica-
so concerning the condition Of the labor
market is uniformly to the effect that there
has be, n nc time for several years when the
demand for labor so nearly equaled the
supply, or when there was so small a per-
centage of men unable to find employment
who are steady, reliable and willing to work
ut current wages. The era of 'hard tines
in this city seems to have passed, and the era
of work for all, at prices in fair proportion
to the profits on the product of labor, TO
have come again.
Wherein the Ottumwa Courier comments
thus senslbly:
'This is rapidly becoming the condition
Of the country. The chief cause of delay is
the foolish conduct Of the laboreis them.
selves, led on by rasc.lly demagogues. To-
day, did the laborer, the mechanic, meet
The capitalist or business mau Of the coun-
try on terms of mutual confidence, and la
Dor together for the return of prosperous
times, we should have an early and rapid
return to business activity and ample en-
! ploypert for all men at good and remuner.
alive prices.
The trouble is That dishonest men, de-
magogues, looking to their own personal
advancement, Influence the passions of the
laborer, the mechanic, and the farmer
against the capitalists. These demagogues
have lone and are doing this by a system,
of misrepresentation and falsebood tina,
would shame the devil were the thing
within the range Of possibilities. They
led the people to butt their heads against
the adaman,ine rock Of capital at the ex-
peLse of the people. There will be a fear
full retribution, we hope, for these demago
CUES when the people learn how sadly and
wickedly they have been deceived. We
would want no better assurance of return
ing prosperity with great rapidlty thar
confidence in and fair treatment OF capita
by the people-it would be as sure an evil
dence of it as the sun in heaven TO day is 8
guarantee of the rising sun tomorrow. All
hope for prosperity to-day rests in the fact
that resumption will take place in spite OF
the insane folly of many people, and the
rascality of their leaders, coupled With the
reasonable hope that the insane will be
cured Of their insanity in a pref period.

rEg EsNaHE1Na HI ON Hps.

It may not be amiss whilst on the subject
Oh oar municipal finances to state short
4 conversation we heard recently with one Of
our city officials ON the subject of the pre-
MUM bond system. Our purpose was to
ascertain whether tho premium bond plan
could not be abandoned to the interest of the
handholsfers and that of the city as we'll.
Our proposition was: Since premium bonds
only command On IN average about one-third
III their face value, say thirty three cents on
Eha dollar, would not the holders be benefited
4 IN accepting another system exchanging their
nremium bonds into another class Of bonds
hgaring u certain annual or semt-annual in
Gerestp The answer of the official was that
the hondholders might accept the change, but
sss tho rate af scaling mentioned they would
expect that the new bonds should bear ct least
sss2 per cent interest.
The bonded debt of the city being at this
late $la .s4a, $751; one third would be SG,G16,G09
{ & per cent of which would be 1896, 1896 81, to be
gsalsea annually to pay the interest. Of
course an additional amount would be neees-
gslsy for sinking fund purposes.
This conversation is given simply to show
That there Is noimprohability that some move
naayz be yet made outside of the premium
bond plan to extricate the city from Its finan-
sssal alnbarTaSSments.
