possessed many excellent qualities. being
amiable, truthful, and upright. Passing

was being built and struck him. inflcting a
wound on his head. After a time the
wound healed, and left merely slight
scar. But it soon afterward appeared that
the boy had undergone an unaccOuntable
change OF character. He had become liar
and thief, and was almost brutal in his nat
ure. At last the parents consulted physi-
clan to whom we have referred. and who
made study of the case. He finally sug-
gested that the boy should be trephined. in
order to ascertain if any injury had been
done to the brain when the skull was struck
When the operation had been performed in

MRORIECTi

We have it from reliable authority
that the Republican County Exec
utive Committee will have full con-
troll of the distribution of the post
offices in Preston county. Our in
formant tells us that the Committee
will meet shortly to consider the
claims of the various applicants for
postofiices, and that whoever the
committee indorses will receive the
appointments. One would suppose
that the patrons of the different
postofiices would have some say as
to who was to be postmaster that
is, their Endorsement of applicants
would have some weight in deter
mining the lucky man but it
seems that the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee is much bigger
that the people, and they are going
to peddle out the offices to the high
est bidders or the men who can do
the best work in furthering the
interests Of the Republican bosses.
This is pretty state of affairs. Has
1T come to pass that the members of
the Republican party are mere po-
litical serfs who do the bidding of
the master? We trow not. but il
looks very much that way when
eight men set themselves up for to
decide for the three Thousand mem
bers of their own party. We sup
pose, however, this is the principle
of the latter day Republican party,
and as such they bow their heads in
obeisance to the verdict of the Boss
es. Well, Democracy is not built

THE ELECTION Is OVER.

The Democrats of the Legislature
Of the State of Illinois brought for
ward several resolutions the other
day expressive Of sympathy for Ire
land. The Republicans opposed the
resolutions and had them tabled.
The Democrats jeered at the Re-
publicans for speaking so sweetly of
the Irish on the stump.
"Now that the election is past, ="
said Representative Browne, "the
people who are in power will refuse
to give the Irishmen any offices, but
/ hope they will at least consent to
let this House pass these resolu-
tions."
They did not let them pass,
though. 1t is now in order for
Patrick Ford and the Irish World
to explain this to the Irish Repub-
lican.

HOW Is THIS SENATORS DAWSON
AND WORLEY?

The question which has been agi
tating the mind of the hungry and
thirsty office-seeker Of Preston
county since the election of Harri-
son, is, "who will be the dispenser
of public patronage for Preston
county ?" In another article we
show where it is claimed that the
Republican executive committee is
to dispose of the postoffices. A very
prominent Republican of this coun-
ty, and a gentleman who is an aspi-
rant for Office himself, tells us that
there Is no question to the title Of

unless the General gave him aletter
assuring him that lac should have
control Of the patronage Of Preston
in the event that the Republican
party won the day. lie says Gen.
Goff gave him this letter and he has
it in his possession now. Our in
formant further afiirms that q little
"sop" will be given the anti McCor-
mick men TO pacify them and keep
them from kicking outside the ira

SLY DOG PROTECTION.

cents per ton less than that now

HOW GOFF'S BROAD SHIELD Is
WORKED IN AMERICA.

The silk ribbon %eavers Of New
York have struck for an increase of
wages which the Republican party
guaranteed them in the event OF
Ben Harrison's election. They
think they are entitled to a share of
the fifty per cent. protection levied
for the benefit Of american work
ingmen." The silk ribbon manu-
facturers think differently, as wit
ness the following advertisement
which appears in Basic, Switzer-
land, paper
Ef1l GOOD slk-rbbon weavers will Gud
JUU steady employment at New York Jni-
ted states, at high wages.
How do you like that protection,
to American laboringnren, you men
who voted for the Republican party
and high protective tariff? 1t is
worthy of note that the men who
were loudost in shouting and voting
for protection are the ones who are
suffering reductionin wages. They
