PARNELL EXPLAINS,

While the friends of Mr. Parnell in this
cCuntry--and that includes about every.
body--were reading with admiration his
testimony from day to day under cross
examination by Sir Richard Webster In
the great PorHdi1imcs libel suit, there
was something Ike a spasm OF pain felt a
few days ago, when, In the course of the
inquiry, Mr. Parnell was apparently forced
70 admit that in certain speech In the
house of commons he had deliberately
stated what he knew 10 be untrue. Up to
this point his every utterance bore with 1t
such a stamp Of entire truthfuness as to
impress one only with the sterling manli-
ness Of his character The admission re-
ferred 10, however, revealed something
like a palpable flaw. The case was like
this Sir Richard quoted from the Han.
sard reports a passage from speech made
in the house some years ago by Mr.. Parnen
in which he apparently stated that the
organization Of the Land League had ex-
tinguished all other secret political sOciet-
les In Ireland. Mr. Parnell, assuming that
Of course Sir Richard had quoted his
speech correctly said, in that case he must
have Exaggerated grossly" as he certainly
knew at the time that such was not the
case. The admission, while in one way
increasing the admiration for Mr. Parnell
Of his friends as showing that so stern was
his adherence while on the stand to truth
that he would neither shrink nor falter,
though ii made so seriously against him
self, on the other hand was reiolced over
by his enemies AS casting him under a
serious cloud. II turns out, however, on a
closer examination Of the speech from
which Sir Richard quoted, that the remark
applied only to Ribbonism, In reference to
which the statement Is admitted to have
been true, while the boot of dishOnor is on
Sir Richard, who Is shown TO have quoted
unfairly. The friends of the great leader
are more than rejolced In this removal of
the only shadow that ever seemed to rest
upon his splendid character.

In discussing the question who will sue
coed Hon. W. H. Barnum as chairman of
the National Democratic Committee, the
sentiment in the west Is pretty clear, and
that Is that his successor must be straight
out tariff reiormer. No Vandalism will
suit the Democrats of the west. Randall
Is not democrat He Is simply wearing
the label democratic under false pretenses
There Is, as Mr.. Il. NJ Phelps, Illinois
member of the committee, has said, "a
vast difference between protectionist and
and demoCrat;" and In the coming cam
paigns that Inference must be distinctly
kept in mind. Anything less will not
satisfy the democrats of the west; and il
will be the democrats of the west and not
those OF Pennsylvania who will elect the
next democratic president.

CITY COMPTROLLER.

The design Of Mayor Sherwood TO have
the council create for this city the office of
a city comptroller Is a good one.
The comptroller is an officer provided

In cities of this size with the council. His
duties are, In few words, to exercise a
general supervision over the finances of the
city and the officers having In change the
receipt and collection and the revenue and
the disbursement thereof.
This work, which Is no sinecure, has
heretofore fallen upon the shoulders of the
finance committee. 1t involves very con-
siderable expenditure of time and hard
work, which, since aldermen receive no
pay, the city ought not to put on the shout
ders of man who has private business
to attend to; the supervision of ways and
m cans; the keeping of department expen-
dltures within the limits of appropriations
therefor; the scrulinlzlng of all bills that
are presented; the making up of the esti
mates for ensuing municipal years; In
short, act as general bookkeeper and clerk,
In financial matters, on all departments of
the city government.
The work is sufficient for one mans at
tention, and for the services and the reports
called for by the law, he should be a oapa.

Obituary.

Col. WIN. l. DUNAvAN, who was well known
to all the old settlers of this county, died
at Denton, Texas, on Friday last, of Bright's
disease. His last hours were painless and
peaceful.
Col Dunavan was born in Licking Co.,
Ohio, Nov. 8, 1908, and in 1881 came to La
Sale county, settling on Sec %, in what is
now Rutland tp., where he lived until 1881,
when he went to Texas. In 1882 he mar
red Eliza Green, daughter of John Green,
their marriage being the first held in that
township. Tie was for over 20 years a JUS
tice of the peace for his town and served one
term of four years as postmaster; he was
also one of the heaviest contractors in the
construction of the I. & NJ. canal; served in
the Black Hawk war; made the overland
trip to California in 1919, remaining two
years, when he returned and lived in Rut-
land until his removal to Texas. His wife
bore him six children, two sons living in
Texas, two sons and a daughter in this coun-
ty and a daughie r in Iowa.
VIM. l.. Dunavan was type of the best
class of Illinois pioneers man of sterling
integrity, Industrious, good neighbor, q
firm friend, genial, courteous, considerate.
His departure for Texas in 1881 was q source
of sincere regret to his old friends here, who
will now SO much more keenly regret his
death even at the ripe age of so years, in
that those last years were not spent here in
the old home of his early manhood.

Ended with Opium.

Isaac N. Graf, grain buyer at Leland,
died at four o'clock Saturday morning with
every evidence of laudanum poisoning.
Graf had been the lessee of one Of the Le
land elevators for feveral years, and had
always appeared prosperous until late
months, when rumors of his financial en-
barrassment we're freely circulated around
the village. As to add confirmation TO ru-
NOR, Mrs. Il. o. Seymour came to this city
on the morning of his death and secured a
writ of replcvin on large consignment of
grain upon which 81 600 was still due He
appeared somewhat melancholy during the
latter part Of the week, and between two
and three o'clock on Saturday morning
drank the contents of phial of laudanum,
whether with suicidal intent or not. There
is but little doubt when no was about to die
he seemed to reconsider the matter and
called upon one of his daughters to run for
a physician. IL was then too late, however,
and he died before medical aid could reach
him.

Current Events.

The centennial celebration OF the meeting
Of the famous French States General
of 1889 the beginning OF the heVo!utioh'
was held in Paris on Sunday last, win
great enthusiasm. As President Garnet
was leaving the palace Of the Elysee, a
crazy man fired blank cartridge, which
created intense excitement for the moment,
and which, but for the prompt interie-
renee o. the police, would doubtless nave
eliminated in the immediate hanging o.
the madman The affair, however, In no
way disturbed the carrying out OF the pro
gramme, though II Is, IN measure, typical
of the condition of the French mind,
which through all the century since the
tremendous social and political upheaYal
of the revolution, has never recovered Its
equilibrium, and Is still debating as to
what is the best form of governmental
condition which NJ. CarnOt recognized IN
the closing words of his speech, when he
made plea for concord and Cancellation,
saving d" Under the shield Of the Repub.
lie let us seek in spirit OF Cancellation,
mutual liberation and harmony the iTesist'
ible strength of united people The
glorious century we are now celebrating
by this solemn and splendid ceremony
would be worthily crowned by the unity Of
all Frenchmen in their mutual love of the
common wealth of liberty"
The celebration of Sunday consisted In
the Presidents inaugurating the memorial!

years before the State-General had met
and then delivering TO the assembled dep
uties and official an address eulogistic of
the republic, in the Galerie des Giaces
