Philip Downey, who runs boarding
house and saloon across from the G.. b a.
O. depot, Is entitled to the credit of bring
ing out a young man who will crowd
Hemmerle very hard for the championship
of Illinois, should mach be made be-
tween them. The young mans name Is
Harry Cregar, and he was born in this city
about twenty four years age, but has for
some time past resided in Streator, while
still claiming this city as his home, Some
time ago he met Phil Downey, who saw
him run, and conceived the idea that he
would make hard runner, Under the
advice of Downey, who became his hacker,
ne trained for and won several races; but
the most notable of his performances was
at Davenport, Ia, on Saturday last, when
he beat a professional Splinter In one
hundred yard race, making the phenomenal
time or 91a seconds. Downey backed him
lust $4,000 worth, and won that amount
from the Davenport sports, whom, he
thinks sprang Kirk, of Canada, who has
won great races, upon him. A race for
blood between Cregar and Hemmerle
would be a big card to draw card with
and settle the championship Of Illinois.

Jas. ii Eckels, Esq and talked for about
two hours. The speech was able and was
closely listened to throughout. 1t was a
review of the tariff history of the country,
with necessary comments on the inconsis,
tencies, cruelties and iniquities of the
present tariff, after which he cited large
number of republicans as authority Gifted
by republicans themselves six or eight
months ago. for the necessity of revision
of that tariff in the interest of the CON

Is this your protection?

The claim by Prof. Boltwood that they
were in favor of tariff revision and that the
republican party is now opposed to 1t, Is
the merest bOsh, rs is the assertion that
republicans are opposed to any reduction
whateyer-RcpUblican.
When did the republicans make re.
duction of tariffs? They have for years
promised it, but when did they do 1t?
Not in 1882. when they set aside their own
tariff commissions bill, which proposed a
20 per cent. reduction-in the interest of
the consumer and manufacturer-and
adopted one making nominallya reduction
Of Ia per cent, but which really raised
the rate; nor does the Senate to-day prom>
ise any substantial reductions. They never
have reduced taxation by tariff, never, and
their platform distinctly announces that
the party will not do so now.

Why not? Have 25 years of protection

be true; is it not true that hereafter more

Have not American manufacturers pro-

not, then protection Is sham; II does not

This failure to do the square thing by
us, on the part of our Republican
friends, to whose interests we have ever
proved true, is the cause Of dissatisfac-
not formidable in the recent campaign
now so glorIously ended. The RepubIi-
can leaders should remember that the
quarter ola century through which we
have passed, since the birth of the Re
publican party and the striking Of the
shackles from our limbs. has furnished
us with opportunities to acquire knowl-
edge and we think for ourselves. One
of the strongest arguments made by the
Democrats was ''come over to us, we
will do more for you than the Republi-
cans will and Judging from past ex-
poriences, the promise seemed so easy
of tullfillment that many Colored men
who were tired of receiving only
promises from Republicans year after
year, fel. inclined to try the Democrats.
Hon. Edmund Rice, while mayor of St.
Paul, appointed several Colored men on
the police force and in the fire depart
ment, and the gratitude Of the Colored
people knew no bounds. Two years
ago they expressed it by large number
ofvotes to send him to congress, and on
and before Nov. 6 it took the strongest
kind of arguments to induce some of
them 10 vote for the gallant Capt. Snider.
Republicans, you who have been elected
to office, you for whom Colored men
Woodland thanks to the efficient work
of Colored men at the polls, there were
not a corporals guard who did not vote for
Republicans-you have now the oppor-
tnnity to show Your appreciation of
their fealty, you have the opportunity
to bind them to you by the strong ties
of gratitude for which they are charac-
teristic, by giving them a full fair share
Of respectable, appointiye positions.
Will you do it? We await your verdict.

A Pleasant urprise.

Between mother and daughter there

a large amount Of sffec,ion, its natural.
But among the mothers and daughters
of st. Paul none give better evidence OF
the presence of this maternal and flial
devotion than do Mrs. James Banister
and her daughter Miss Ella B. Smith they
seem--to use slang phrase mashed"
on each other. They seem more like
sisters than mother and daughter, and
the fullest and freest confidence is
maintained between them, and a move
is seldom made by one that the other is
not cognizant of. and consulted in refer
ence thereto. A pleasant little episode
occurred last Tuesday evening in which
the established rule was suspended.
Tuesday was the eighth anniversary of
the marriage Of MIR. and Mrs. Banister,

stepfather in conlmemoration OF the

quietly proceeded to invite few of their
friends to be present on Tuesday eve
ming, and while father and mother were
out witnessing the great Republican
parade the guests arrived, and when they
returned they found the house file ..
70 say they were surprised would but
mildly state the case, they were COM
pletely "paralized," they did not under
stand it at all. They however soon ac-
copied the situation quite gracefully and
proceeded to play the part Of atfable
host and hostess to perfection. About

donated by friends and prepared by the
daughter, was laid in q large upstairs
room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
