AS had Deen announced. NeE.
| Collins. of Rich Hill, spoke on the
subject of temperance at the court
house last night. Owing to the show

those present by a talk. in which he
said many good things. He will de-
| liver lecture at one of the churches
on Tuesday night of next week.
| when. we have no doubt, a large
audience will greet him.

All social distinctions are laid aside;

Judge Kelley says the growth of a
protecuonist sentiment at the south is
spreading like a mighty wave to every
section. The southern newspapers afford
plenty of evidence OF the truth of the
judges remark. 1t is amusing to see
how gingcrly the whilom free trade
journalists of that section are treating
the traditional free trade policy. They
see what an important part in the de-
velopment of the great industrial enter
prises % the north the policy of protec-
ton has played, and with the opening
up of new manufactures in the south,
that same policy is beginning TO make
many and powerful converts in that sec
tion, and the idea has occurred to the
free trade journalists that it is more
than possible that they Will be called
upon 10 experience radical change in
their views, and come out boldly as
earnest advocates of protection, if they
would aid in still further developing the
resources of their section. The Repub-
lican party always stood firm on the
rock of protection while the Democratic
party has been wandering off after
strange gods. The sooner the southern
states shake off their allegiance to De
mocracy, the more pronounced will be
their progress towards a perfect and
continuous business prosperity.

The Inter Ocean, speaking of the
Probate Court middle in Cook and
La Selle counties, says: The more the
decision of the supreme court in the
probate court affair is considered the
more astonishing it seems. Itwould ap-
pear as if the opinion were the outcome
of fit of Indifference or carelessness TO
which all men, judges as we'll as others,
are subject. 1t is singular, but fact,
nevertheless, that the words of the
statute are actually misquoted in the de-
cisiOn, and in an important particular,
too-something that will stand as a re-
proach to the court unless satisfactorily
explained. 1t is more than probable
that rehearing will be given, and what
seems to be hasty, ill-dlgested, and ILL.,
conceived decision be revised.
