We note with more than ordinary
satisfaction the appointment of Il. e.
Goodell, Of Leadyille, as one of the
Worlds Fair commissioners from Col
orado. If the body of the commits
sioncrs appointed by the governors of
the various states to make up the
Worlds Fair board, or half of them,
are as good men as this selection by
the governor of Colorado, the inter
ests of the great exposition will be
in entirely safe and competent hands
! and the show an assured success.
Up to this choice it seemed as If
Colorado must be unconscious that
she had within her borders one Of the
most useful men in this country. At
last she has found 1T out, and will be
better convinced Of it the more she
tries him.
We have known Mr.. G.. from his
boyhood. He was brought up among
us, went to school here and was
hardly out Of his teens when he was
elected sheriff Of this county, and
mighty good sheriff he made Next
he was secretary Of the state senate,
then cashier Of bank, then railroad
manager and during the war furn.
ished the army Of the west with more
supplies than any other contractor
Whatever combination he has been
in he has been the leading spirit;
whatever town or city he has lived in,
whether Ottawa, Joliet, Springfield
or Chicago, he was in the front for its
building up, Ornamentation and i'm
provement. A Democrat 'from way
back" he has also been prominent in
the politics of this state, and in 1876,
although Cyrus II. Mccormick was
the nominal, Mr.. G. was the active
head OF the State Democratic commit
tee, which made that splendid cam
paign that came so near giving the
state TO Tilden. Open, big hearted,
generous, wholly unseltsh, singularly
pleasing in person and address, We
never knew a man who could, would
and did do more for his friends, and
who exacted so little in return.
To our own people who feel so deep
an interest In the success Of the
Worlds Fair, the appointment Of Mr..
Goodell is hailed with especial de-
light. 1t is a position for which he is
exactly fitted, and In which he will be
in his element, and we shall be i'm
mensely mistaken II, before that

Some enterprising virtuoso in New
York recently imported from far away
New Zealand a lot of heather idols.
The New York custom house levied a
duty upon them of 40 per cent. as
coming under the head OF ARTICLES
not otherwise enumerated. AS the
only ground upon which tariff pro
lection" is professedly based is that it
is needed to support some Infant in
dustry," the question arises, is there
any infant industry in this country
engaged in the manufacture of false
gods? Bob Ingersoll says every man
makes his own gods" and the custom
house officials, believing in and acting
upon that lngersollian doctrine, prob
ably held that every man was running
an infant industry of his own of that
kind and therefore sort of universal
protection was needed in this country
against heather competition.

The FREE TRADER attempts an
apology for Mayor Sherwood's attempt
at the Justification of the records of
the city council as charged in the
resolutions Of censure by the city
council. Times.
No, sir. The FREE TRADER makes
no defense Of the mayor. 1t simply
says that his offense-Of appending an
addition as an after-thought, to a
document prepared by himself after it
had been read in councils not in
proportion to the magnitude of his
punishment" by the council
The message itself, with or without
the matter added TO it, could have no
legal force and effect on anybody or
anything. 1t was at best but state
ment-a memorandum, so to speak.
Its publication without the addition
or recording could have added not a
cent to the city's revenues and with it
did not take a cent from them.
At any rate. when the following
meeting took place all that was neces-
sary was to order that matter stricken
from the record by the clerk.
The FREE TRADER really does not
see the occasion-in this petty Incl
dent--for precipitating another year
of wrangling between mayor and
council. There may be great deal of
"bloOd and thunder" in such a course
and a chance to "whack the mayor"
but in the meantime public business
suffers from the wrangling.
Mr.. Sherwood has simply adopted
what appears to be an unpopular tack
he has tried to collect for the benefit
of the city $500, which, it is main
tanned by him, Mr.. Evans promised to
pay, but did not pay. Yet every time
that subject has been mentioned by
him the evening papers, the council
and a great many citizens seem to
froth at the mouth at the very pre-
sumption of the man in asking Mr.. f.
to make good his promise. Why?
Goodness only knows.

Rose is at his old game: trying to
manufacture public opinion by ma
licious lying and wllful deception of
his readers in order to bring disgrace,
if possible, upon the mayor of the city
against whom he has personal
grudge. The FREE TRADER warns
the people of Ottawa that no good
can come to the city by thus permit
ting a malicious, lying newspaper to
thus deliberately attempt to disgrace
Its mayor-its chief executive and
representative officer, by mean, dirty,
contemplate lying, as is now emma
ting from Roses Nose. Only man of
Lester A. Roses calibre, education,
associations and previous experience
as a publisher of bawdy-house and OBJ
scene papers, can descend to the de-
liberate Justification of the truth,
when truth runs counter to Lester A.
Roses hatreds and pocket book. 1t is
no part of his stock in trade. 1t never
was if he thought lying could add one
penny to his till. 'In an enlightened
country" it is "sad commentary" on
the fairness, the manlineSs, and that
spirit of fair play between men which
is so characteristic Of the decent
American, that Ottawa people per-
NIT a creature of Lester A. Roses
record as a wallower in the slime of
nasty literature and SANDER and OBJ
scenity, to hefoul their mayor as he
has done Mayor Sherwood, even if the
administration Of that officer has not
been all they could wish in all things
1t is indecent. 1t brings the city into
disrepute abroad. 1t breeds hatred
and malice at home. 1t is retarda-
ton of our growth as a city. Else
where they wash dirty linen in the
back yard out of sight of the world.
Here Rose brings out his own filthy
rags of lying and deliberate deception
of the public, and with howl and a
roar calls the worlds attention to its
nastiness.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee Of Illinois had meeting at the
Palmer House in Chicago, its prlnci-
pal object being the election Of a chair
man in place Of John G. Campbell, de-
ceased. No name except that of Delos
p. Phelps was presented, and he was
unanimously elected. Mr.. Phelps is a
gentleman Of character and ability,
residing at Monmouth, where be is
engaged in the manufacture of agri-
cultural implements. He has always
been an enthusiastic Democrat, al
though steadily refusing to accept
office. One of the largest manufactu-
rers Of iron and irop machinery, he is
yet an earnest advocate of tariff re-
form, on the ground that a high tariff
is injurious to the farmers, who are
his best customers, and whatever in
jures them Injuries him.
A very strong hint was given to Mr..
Haines TO resign the secretaryship of
the committee, on the ground that a
man was wanted who could give his
whole time to the work, but Mr.. II.
failed to see it.
A movement was then fayorably con-
Sidered and committee appointed to
carry it out, Of having the entire or
ganization Of the committee changed,
so as to have it consist of l02 men,
bers, two from each senatorial dis
trict, instead of, as at present, one
from each congressional district and
seven for the state at large. The mat
ter will be submitted to the state con-
vention in June for final determine
ton.
After bewailing the fact that the
committee was at present without a
dollar in the treasury, an adjournment
was taken to June Sd, at Springfield,
the day before the meeting of the
state convention at that place.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.

We are in receipt Of a circular from
the census bureau asking the press Of
the United States to call particular
attention to e.matter Of manufac-
turing statistics. 1t Is urged that the
value of the report on this subject
must depend wholly upon the accu-
racy and th0roughness with which
manufacturers answer the questions
propounded. The census collector can
only ask such questions as are pre-
scrbcd. Manufacturers should answer
them fully and truthfully. The reports
are not and cannot be used as Il basis OF
taxation. The census bureaus circu-
lar also announces the fact that a
manufacturers answers to the ques-
tOns relating TO his business are held
strictly confidential, and are not dis
closed to any competitor or to other
persons. This assurance is printed on
each schedule over the signature Of
the superintendent of census.
The personal interest Of every man
ufacturer is involved in having
a complete report OF the actual
condition Of manufactures at the
present time. Such report will be
quoted for the next ten years as the
official announcement Of the exact in
dustral condition Of the country, and
will be the basis for any future legis-
lation that may be enacted in regard
to the wants Of our people, whether
engaged in agricultural or mechani-
cal pursuits.
1t appears that this branch of cen
sus inquiry is under the charge Of Mr..
Frank r. Williams, a special expert,
appointed on account OF his peculiar
fitness for the work. He has person
ally visited the principal manufacture
ing centers and consulted representa-
tive manufacturers, the publishers of
trade journals, and practical business
men generally, for the purpose OF as
certaining the proper scope of the in
qury for each branch of manufacture.
The questions contained in the census
schedules are those suggested by the
manufacturers and other persons most
interested in the progress OF the
country, and cover ground absolutely
essential to the proper presentation of
its industrial conditions and resources.
