The Western PLo7Vman, Moline,
Ills, is a handsome, vigorous and
practical twenty four page monthly,
devoted to the best interests of the
home, farm and family. Not sensa-
tional, but aggressive, fearless and
full OF western snap. Its agri-
cultural information will be fresh
from the field and reliable. Its
home reading matter will be pure
and instructive, seasoned with wit,
pathos and spirit. No farmer can
afford to be without it. The house
wife needs it for the practical in
formation contained IN its household
department. Boys and girls will
receive instruction from the wide
awake articles, sketches, puzzles,
poetry and carefully selected mis-
cellany which enliven its pages.
1t is household paper containing
no trash nor exaggerated pictures,
but is clean and carefully edited
magazine.
The publishers of THE REPUB-
LIcAN have completed arrangements
whereby we are enabled to present
copy of the Plo7vman free for one
year to all who pay in advance a
years subscription to THE REPUBLI-
CAN. This is an extraordinary in
ducement, and our subscribers will
do we'll to avail themselves of the
opportunity to get good magazine
for nothing. Samples OF The
Plowman may be seen at this office,
or will be forwarded to any address
IN response to postal card request.

cline sympathetic ear towards the
story which poverty can ever tell Of
sickness and want and suffering in
the homes Of the poor, and seek by
every possible means to avert a con-
fiict that must increase all these
woes. When bread and meat and
fire depend on days work, the days
work means far more than when
money piles its earnings in banks and
safety vaults. We do not wonder
at the blind fury of man who pinch
es his wife and tortures his little ones.
We do, however, always wonder at
his blind stupidity in rushing into
the troubles a prolonged strike in
evitably brings upon himself and his
family, too, often without a cause
strong enough to justify the tremen-
dous risks he takes.

The Shadow in Strikes.

Register,
The interests of women and chill
dren are involved in these great
strikes to a greater extent, perhaps,
even than those of the active parties
in the fight. They indeed have the
hardest experience in this, as in most
matters, to endure. Their misery
finds no relief in public speech.
They attend no meetinsg, take part in
no active demonstrations, receive no
help from enthusiastic gatherings
where courage is kept firm by fiery
invective and slim ulated by fair
promises. Delay, to them, means
hopeless wretchedness, and they find
it difficult to feed their hopes on
empty words. God pity them! They
must wait for results, often with
hungry children Juggling at their
skirts, and an empty larder staring
them in the face. Ii the inner histo-
ny of strikes could be faithfully writ
ten, every page would be blotted
with woman's tears and punctuated
with her sobs. This is a side Of the
question that we hear little about.
The rights of capital and the rights
of labor are dwelt upon in every
paper, and discussed by every public
speaker. The wrongs of the suffer
ing wives and babies OF the working
men have not as yet found special
pleaders. 1t would be well, if with
in these lao organizations, some
committee were appointed to consid-
er, in the face of proposed strike,
how the homes of the workingmen
involved, would be affected should
the crlcis come. And it would be
well also, if capital, too, should in

ALMOST the first mention Of ex-
President Arthur in the public prints
for nearly year, appears in a Wash
ington despatch and is to the effect
that he is suffering from compiled
ton OF the liver and stomach disor-
ders that threaten to cause death
within comparatively short time.
The cackling OF Mrs. r. B. Hayes
hens has entitled the minority eX-
president to more notice than has
been given Mr.. Arthur. Nabobs,
unknown until swung into the politi-
cal maelstrom by the ascendency of
"His Accidency" have required
much public attention. But after
these have all been forgotten the
man who accepted the burdensome
duty of conducting the aiminIstra-
ton upon the tragic death of Mr..
Garfield and when the situation was
considered with no little anxiety,
will be gratefully remembered by
the people of this Union.

THE steamship Oregon of the
Cunard line went to the bottom of
Sandy Hook last Sunday morning.
1t was at first reported that she was
struck by an unknown, deep-laden
schooner, but as no definite informa-
ton can he given and as no one saw
the schooner it is now thought that
natural obstruction was struck
from below. She at once Commenc-
ed sinking but all passengers were
transferred to schooner, and from
that to the steamship Fulda, and
not life was lost. 1t has been the
boast of the Cunard line that they
had never lost boat, but with the
loss of the stately Oregon they must
suppress the enticing statement.

THE death of Kellogg Nichols,
the express messenger on the Rock
Island train, at the hands of the rob,
bers was noble one. Everything
indicated that he did not surrender
the key to the safe until overcome by
weakness. He had been for twenty
years trusted employe of the ex-
press company, and thus giving up
his life in protecting its property
proves how highly he regarded that
confidence. The company will be
ungrateful if it fails to reward such
faithfulness by providing the widow
with competency. Had he sur
rendered the key upon demand he
would doubtless haye been living to-
day to protect and support the one
who was dependent upon him.

WHEN that Demo-Greenback hy-
brid Gen. J. B. Weaver stumped
the state last fall he was loud in
charging that ex-President Arthur
tolerated and even nurtured the
cattle barons in the Indian Territory
and proclaimed in stentorian
tones that President Cleveland
would remove them from the public
lands and proposed to give prefer
ence to the honest, toiling settler.
On the floor of the house recently
Mr.. Weaver was discoursing or
these lands, when Col. Hepburn
inquired of him il he had not made
the statements above referred to in
last falls campaign. He replied
that he had and in this he was mis-,
taken and said that this administra-
ton was as reprehensible in this
particular as its predecessors. Con
fession is good for the soul.

THE committee appointed to pros
pect for a site for the Soldiers Home
have been royal guests. They have
been banquetted, irrigated with min
eral water as we'll as that which Is
more exhilriating, and treated to the
best of the land. And yet their trip
may result in nothing more than the
jolly jaunt which it is. The Grand
Army Post of Belle PLANE have
passed resolutions favoring the plan
of reservinga fund for the sustenance
Of disabled soldiers at their respective
homes rather than to purchase a
building at great expense for their
accommodation in a body. This
idea has been often expressed by in
dividuals and would, we believe, be
very generally approved. 1t will
not be many years till the rapidly
depicting ranks of veterans will not
require the assistance that is so
eheerfully rendered them, and then
the proposed building would be an
elephantine institution on the States
hands, the more especially worthless
if located in some of the smaller
towns now striving to secure the
prize. 1t would, furthermore, be
an unkindness TO compel the veter-
an to be separated from his family to
accept of the States support. The
plan proposed by the Belle PLANE
Post is the better one, but perhaps
their voice has been raised too late to
secure the attention of the legisla'
tors.
