brought against them if they abandoned
it now and chung to Mr.. Cleveland, be-
causeh he favored their revenue principles.
The contrast between the attitude Of
Messrs. Foulke and Bonaparte and those
men who seeded with them from the Re-
publican party in 1884, but who still adj
here to the Democracy, is apparent to
every one. The devotion of the first two
gentlemen and those who will stand with
them to civil service reform will not be
doubted, but the others have ir~retrievably
ruined their influence as reformers and
justified tho charge that their action four
years ago was simply a cloak to cover
their hostility to the policy of protection.

Honest civil service neforme,s.


The decision of Mr.. Foulke, of Indiana
polls, and Of Mr.. B~onaparte, of Baltimore,
to vote and work for the election Of Gen.
Harrison to the presidency indicates
doubtless the position nearly all the sin
cere civil service reformers will take in
this campaign. Both these gentlemen
have been conspicuous FOR their efforts to
bring about a reform Of the spells system
In politics. -Four years ago they honestly
believed that the cause they had SO much
at heart would be best promoted by the
election of Mr.. Cleveland, and they gave
him their support and votes and then
waited patiently and confidently for the
fulfllment of the hopes they had based on
his plentiful promises of reform.
1t is hardly necessary to repeat the
weary and ~disgraceful story of Mr.. Cleve-
lands curse in respect to the offices in
Maryland and Indiana which first discour.
aged and then compelled Mr.. Foulke and
Mr.. Bonaparte and their associates to
abandon all hope of reform at the hands
of the president. 1t was not a bad ap-
pointment here and there, which should
have been rectified as soon as attention
was called to it, that convinced these re-
formers that they had been deceived In
Mr.. Cleveland, but q stubborn persistence
on his part IN selecting bad men for Office
and a contemptuous refusal to heed proofs
and remonstrances. Three years and a
half of civil service reform Of this kind
was enough for these gentlemen, and they
have accordingly decided to drop Mr..
Cleveland and support a candidate and a
party that give promise of genuine re-
form.

pie that they were sincere in 1881. Both
of them, we believe, are revenue reform

st. THE DAILY NEWS
Is a daily paper for busy people.

OF all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy north
west are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number of peo-
pie are to be found who appreciate SO keenly the necessity OF an
intelligent knowledge of the worlds daily doings. They recog-
nize that they, more than anyone else, are the worlds providers
in many of the most important necessaries- of life. How I'M
portant, then, that they should have their daily intelligence OF
every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect
their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher
interests of life where can be found a like number of people
more keenly appreciatiye of all that contributes to progress in
art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and
one things which make up modern civilization.
And yet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy north
west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the
creation and development of that most cunbrous, unserviceable,
time-destroying thing, the " blanketsheet newspaper. With the
blindness of very faulty this monstrosity of journalism, this breeder
of mental dyspepsia, has steadfastly imposed its mountain of un-
threshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain
of fact. It was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition
of things that THE DAILY News had its birth. People wanted the
News,-all the news--but they demanded it apart from the over
towering mass of the trivial and inconsequentm. 1t is because
THE DAILY News satisfactorily meets that demand That its circua-
ton is over I" a-milion a-week.'
r. M. LAWRENCE, Wiliamsvlle, Ill, says: "The sbig daily is
too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every
thing printed in the 'blanketsheets,' but one having anything
else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the ~long-drawn
twaddle for a few grains Of digesible food"

Tired OF Liza

Walter y. While, aged about IS years,
committed suicide near his home, one
mile southeast of Lodi postoffice, this
county, Monday evening, November 10,
1883, by hanging. For some time he
had complained of hard times and i'll
health and had frequently told his fam
lily that they would be better off without
him; but they never supposed that he
contemplated elf-destruction. Monday
afternoon, Mrs. While was to 60 visit
ing with her neighbor, Mrs. G.. b. HnG-
son and her husband had her start ear
lier than she intended. He was chop
ping wood when she left. The children
were away at school. When dark came
and the family had come home. they
were surprised at the absence of their
husband and father and diligent

him, the neighbors were notified and
joined in the search.
Yesterday morning, at O'Clock, the
lifeless body of Walter A. While was
discovered hanging to the limb of an
Elm tree by Clark Hudson and Herbert
Simpson, two boys who were of the
searching party. The body was suspen-
ded by a rope around the neck, the feet
about "a inches from the ground. 1t
appeared as if he must have climbed up
in the tree and jumped from the limb.
Death was probably instantaneous.
Hudson and Simpson who found the
body were at once despatched to this
city for the coroner. but he is out of the
state, and SO the inquest will be held
to-day by Justice Free Sexton, of Eagle
township.
Deceased was born in Indiana. but
