crime, but we do say the course pursued
by them through means of the subservien'
sheet placed at their disposal tends strong
ly TO fasten guilt upon them.
They have even gone so far as to threat.
en- that If these prosecutions are pushed
the Democratic party shall suffer In com.
ing elections, because they see fit to style
themselves "a faction" of the Democratic
party of La Sale county, and hence the
party will be weakened by giving offense
10 them.
If the Democratic party of this great
county must, in order to retain the sscen.
dancy in the county, justify such methods
as this self-styled faction" demand that
they shall in the present instance and such
methods as have characterized the political
workings of those under Indictment during
the past years, it is unworthy of confidence
and ought not to be tolerated in the con.
troll of the public affairs of the county.
The effrontry of these men in attempt
ing to stop the prosecution of these indct.
ments by any such threats places them be
yond the pale of tolerance in the Demo.
cratic party.
We want them to fully understand and
know here and now that the Democratic
party Of La Sale county has no use tor
their cotes, their influence, their counsel or
their adaerents.
No Democratic convention of this coun.
ty will ever tolerate them in it, and no
democrat who has proper respect for his
honor his manhood, or his sense of decen
cy, will ever recognize them or their so
called JactiOn as fellow members of the
Democratic party.
They have outlawed themselves by their
acts and practices from the Democratic
party. and from this time on they must,
unless received into tull communion with
some other existing political organization,
wander about as political Ishmaelites, with
their hand against everybody and every
body's hand against them"

STREATOR POST OFFICE.

Mr., ID. Heenan, and other prominent
citizens Of Streator, in their efforts to have
the post Office of that city removed to a 10
caity that should better meet the common
and especially the business wants of its
people, had sufficient confidence in the
righteousness of their demand to ask for a
government inspector to visit the city and
examine the local situation as well as to
consult the wishes of the people, to whose
free vote those asking the removal always
expressed their readiness and anxiety to
have the question submitted. The inspec-
tor, as asked for, Mr.. l.. A. Kirkwood, Wis
tied the city this week, and while it is I'm.
derstood that he was well satisfied with the
location proposed, and more than satisfied
with the liberal offer of Mr. Heenan to
erect upon it and furnish rent free for the
use of the government building that
should be infinitely better adapted to its
wants than the present one and an honor
to the city, he must have been equally sat
istied in regard to the wishes of the people
on the subject, as he was invited to attend
a public meeting called to freely discuss
the question, and at which the proposed
removal met with a unanimous and hearty
approval. SO, of course, the removal will
be made, and the people of Streator will
have another occasion to be grateful to the
business sagacity, energy and pluck of Mr..
Heenan, its leading merchant, who has
done more to raise the character and pro
mote the prosperity of the business of that
city than any other man in it. No city can
fail to prosper that has business men like
him. The present location of the Streator
post office is four or five blocks away from
the business center, and while it may not
be as far from the geographical center, it
is of course the business center that
should govern in all such cases. The geo
graphical center would take the Ottawa
post office west of the side-cut, which
would be absurd and in the same way the
geographical instead of business center in
Streator would be absurd.

The enforcement of a resolution recently
passed by the city council of Mendoza will
create a great deal of disturbance in that
baliwick. A numerousy signed petition
was presented that body praying that all
business houses, except butcher shops and
barber shops, be closed on Sunday. News
depots are not permitted to keep open, and
butcher shops must be closed by A.. NJ. As
no ordinance has been passed, number of
business firms refuse to be bound by the
passage of the resolution. Some time ago
an ordinance was passed by the city council
of La Sale in the interests of protection,
fixing license for the wholesaliug of beer
by firms outside the corporate limits of the
city. Three firms in Peru and one in Mem
dota united to test the validity of this ordi-
nance in court. and a few weeks ago the
matter came up in the courts here and the
brewers were victorious. The effort to close
business houses in Mendoza on Sunday may
not prove any more effective than the attempt
to close out competition in La Sale. That
city is not in favor Of protection to manufac-
turers of beer; neither is Mendoza a city in
which puritanical observance of the Lords
day can be rigidly enforced.

Sensible Talk.

A Republican the other day was
seeking to twit Democrat, an old
farmer up about Lucasville. about the
hard times, and wanted to know if
these were the good times We were to
have under Democratic rule. The old
farmer listened to him quietly, and fi/
nally remarked: "My friend, did you
ever know farmer, no matter how
thrifty, who could take farm that mad
been running down for twenty-four
years, and get good crop off of it in-
side of six months? | guess not. 1t
takes some time to repair the fences,
improve ana strengthen the soil, clear
out the weeds and briars and thistles,
open up the drains, bitches and water
courses, drive away the vermin and
renovate the farm and buildings gen.
orally. This is Just what the Adminis-
tration is doing now-putting the ma
tiOnal. farm in order. Wait until we
get the farm, which the Republicans
have been letting run down for years,
improved and i'm good condition, and
then you will see some beautiful crops,
the whole country will laugh with rich
harvests, and the people will rejoice in
prosperity. My friend, the good times
are coming-wait little longer. The
old farmer was right; he talked the best
kind of good sense.

Criticism Of ONE. own Party.

A hue aud cry was raised hy the
Frankfort Woman, aud some machine
politicians, because the action of the
Central and Executive Committee was
criticised. Ii was the manner of NOM
nation, and not Mr.. Tate's Democracy
that elcited criticism.
Instead of arbitrary committeeman
and party tricksters, seeking public
pap, and the emoluments of Office, gen.
orally, We want earnest, honest men
men capable of receiving a conviction
of duty and of realizing the necessity of
its performance. We must have party
leaders able to comprehend the spirit Of
the age and the country in which we
live, and who will do their whole duty
without fear or favor.
"By the way of parenthesis, as MIR.
Watterson would say, Colonel Barrett,
i'm his editorial of the 10Th inst, hit the
Yeoman and ]. Stoddard johnson some
hard licks. Hurrah for the HERALD !.
Must a free, intelligent voter, who
can think for himself, accept every
dictum and vote for every nominee Of
his so-called party leaders, whether the
dictum be correct or the nominee
worthy or not? Cannot a Democrat,
sound in principle himself, criticise the
acts of his own party friends when they
are bad or imprudent acts?
Am 1, or any other true Democrat,
to be called "soft SHE'LL" to be "spot-
tedn or to be "ruled out of the party"
simply for having an individual opin-
ion?
Every intelligent voter yields sub
mission to party behests when they are
right and proper but when they are
not, he disobeys them understandingly
and for just reasons.
If Democrats never find fault with
candidates, or never give an expression
to their own views, how can We expect
to maintain purity of party or true
principles Of Democracy?
1t is by just criticism of public men
and their m easures that voters are
kept alive, that good government is se-
cured, and that State or National pros -
perity is assured. w. ii. CUNDIFF.
