every farmer in these DAYS of close
competition. but too few Of them con.

We, Jhe undersigned citizens Of
your county, hereby respectfully re
quest you to use your influence to
have the school law amended so rs to
make townships the basis of taxation
for school purposes.
This would enable all the districts
TO share IN Railroad taxes. This is
especially Just where townships have
voted bonds to Railroads, and where.
under the present system. part of the
districts do not share in the benefits.
We notice that the expenditures of
the present administration exceed
those Of the preceding by S95,OOO,-
OOO. Here is a rare chance for the
figure fend land a very Legitimate
field for mathematical contortions.)
What can be done with S95,OOO,OOO.
At $40 per acre, it would purchase
100000 acres or Z of the State of
Kansas. At 50 per month it would
pension over 2430O0 soldiers for the
period Of four years. But speaking
of Kansas reminds us that a goodly
amount of this $95,OOO,OOO is for sal
aries Of special pension examiners
who must travel over a large district
to see that the government is not de
frauded by those ''paupers." Consis-
tent, isn't it? The man who risked
his life must now have his claim ex-
amined by Specials and their sal
aries must be paid. How can a sol
der vote to perpetuate the present
administration?
We might go on, in our lingering
almost indefinitely, but will be con
tent with just one more example.
The salary of the President of the
United States is $4,000 per year.
Now that is an enormous amount
but, look on this picture, then on
this" S95,OOO,OO0 would pay the pres
ldents salary for one thousand nine
hundred years, or a little longer than
the time that has elapsed since the
beginning of the Christian era. And
this vast sum represents the amount
which 1t has cost the Democrats in
excess of the last Republican admin
istratiOn. Did you say economy?
Turn the rascals OUT or we will
soon be without any Surplus, or
money to pay current expenses

THE newspaper entitled to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
THE CHICAGO DAILY News. (Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth of
the NezO. York World entities it to first pIace)
The Graphic to-day devotes page to sketches Of
scenes in and about its establishment. The his
tory Of this paper IS probably without a parallel
in the annals of American journalism. It was
founded December 10th, 1875, and was the first
lOw-Priced daily successfully established in the
West. At the end Of its first year it had achieved
a circulation Of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable It now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement of circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average of I25.Iz8
copies, unquestonably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent (The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows daily average Of I65.2z60
In politics THE DAILY News is always indie
pendent, never neutral. While its editorial ezz-
preston IS sometimes vigorous to the degree of
severity there IS always in its utterances of opinion
so manifest a purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests that it rarely loses the con-
hdence OF the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance of its own view con
corning the matter in hand.
AS newspaper proper, THE DAILY News
has earned reputation for enter0rising news
gathering second to none in the United States
1t IS the only cheap paper in the West that is
member OF the Associated Press It gives its
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. (NOw it does It for enc cczf n auv)

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
latiOn to the persistent adherence on the part
sheet style of journalism. OF all the people IN
America the average ChicagOan is most in hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff. THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result Of such a
condition Of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined 9
ON considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal Jour
na1istic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction Of its
managers that the " cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price
&C. The difference of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more SO when the price is one
cent?, and the hgher-priced "blanket-sheet,. the
latter throws away in useless and unaskedS for
size, that not only is Of no worth to the reader
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is Of real news interest from mass
of verbiage and worthless application
1T is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements OF the best American Journalism Of to-
day that HE DAILY News IS the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in
Chicago or the West"

Political Notes.

The existence of a secret republican organi-
cation was made known in Kansas CITY. No.,
yesterday. The organization is known as the
Quay club, and is composed of a number Of
the leading republicans of the city. Ii has
been engaged in a secret investigation Of al
legged corruption at the November election,
and Judge McCrary, a member, stated yester-
day, that the work had resulted in the discoy-
cry of gross frauds, and that conclusive cases
had been established against LIS persons.
The New York republican county committee
last night by a vote of IS TO 16 adopted the re-
port of the subcommittee, and dissolved the
eighth assembly district organization. This is
John j. O'Brien's district. The organization
was charged with treachery during the last
campaign. The defense. practically, was that
they had sacrificed everything for Harrison.

has rendered decision favorable 10 the demo-

In analyZing this vote the Tribune saws: I'm
the last week or two the Tribune has had many
requests for the popular vote for President
and some Of our correspondents have stated
that they would rather have approximately
correct vote than wait for official returns from
all the states. In the above table official re-
turns are given for most of the states. Reports
from Colorado state that the total vote cannot
be given until the canvassing board meets
Harrison's plurality in that state. however il
estimated at i, 643. In the above table Cleve-
land has plurality of 1904. not counting
Colorado. III the estimated plurality for Har-
rison in Colorado il allowed Cleveland's plu-
rality is reduced 10 9s 26l. Omitting the vote
of Colorado, the above table shows that since
1884 the republican vote has increased by 37O,-
los IN the thirty-seyen states. the democratic
by i49 40, and the prohibition vote by SO $685.
while the union labor party gave 90. 444 less for
Streeter than the greenback party did for But
Ter IN 1884. The loss on the combined labor
vote will be somewhat lower than 80, 444 when
all the returns of the united labor party for
Cowdrey are made. Outside OF Colorado the
total vote of the four leading parties was
