Goo d men of both parties can afford to
rejoice at the rctrlbution meted ont to
Mackin and Gallagher by Judge Blodgett
on Thursday. Two years in the peniten-
tiary and 5000 fine each is q penalty for
invading the purity Of the ballot-box that
may well cause CONSERVATION to invade
the ranks Of the notorious gang that so
long has disgraced Chicago. The otlensc
Of which Maclin and Gallagher was con-
victod was not only against the republic
can party, but it was against all parties.
1t was a crime against those peculiar un.
dorlyng principles of our system of gov
ernment which are outside of partisan
considerations, aud which we all profess
to revere without regard to party. If
the acts of these scuryy scOundrels had
been suffered to 20 unpublished it would
have reduced the system Of election in
Illinois to a mockery, and her citizens in
depositing their ballots for the candidates
Of their choice would have been foolishly
wasting their time. AS it is there is a
guarantee from the courts that fair cleo
tons may be hoped for In Chicago again.
II is to DO hoped that to make the
lesson taught by Nackin's punishment
moro impressive to her gamblers and
ballot-box suffers tho hand of justice
may yet be enabled to reach out and
grasp tho more prominent politicians in
the ruling Chicago "ring' who, no doubt,
wero in guilty completely with Mackin,
but have so far kept their tracks con-
cealed. The democratic political atmos-
phere at Chicago will stand vast deal Of
purifying,

81 guess those farmers who are groan-

when we used to haul our grain, butter,
pork, and eggs all the way to Newburg,
going one day and coming back the next.
We generally got Is Gems bushel
for oats and 10 cents pound for butter.
Seventy-flve cents a bushel for wheat was
q fancy price. IL we got . or cents a
dozen for eggs we thought we were doing
we'll. Nice corn-fed pork, dressed, we
carried to market for ~ hundred. Tho
butter we put on the market in those
avs was the genuine Orange county ar
ticie yellow as gold and as hard as wal
nut. i have sold tubful after tubful of
butter at 10 cents q pound that would net
| me 70 cents easy II had it, or any like 1t,
to sell now. That was before the Erie rail-
road came through here and put us up to
selling our milk instead of making it
! into butter. We didn't have any limo
\ kept eggs to sell in those days, either. As
! for taxes. paid 500 for my farm of 100
acres when / was getting 10 cents a
pound for butter. On tho same farm now
| | pay $3.50, and have sold my entire

| than three times 10 cents pound for
butter. There is good deal Of humbug

Cutting Glass with Scissors.

Many persons may not be aware thai
glass can be cut under water with greatest
ease to almost any shape by simply using
pair of shears or strong scissors. In
order to insure success two points must
be attended to-frst and most important,
the glass must be kept quite level in the
water while the scissors are applied, and,
secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to be-
gin the cutting by taking off small pieces
