WHAT SAW. AND HEARD.

. Strange news was heard from
Maine a few days ago, the result
of which was Reeds return to the
House. 1t was remarked on the
street corners that there was an
election in Maine.

1t is strange that the politicians
should be so disappointed with the
administration. l have always
said that Mr.. Harrison would come
out all right.

John Ell Fleming says that he VIC uld

treasurer were it offered to him in writ
ing. and the salary were double what the
board of supervisors would sllow. He
said nothing about the proposal being
presented on a silver plate. but that fol-
lows as matter of course. The tgsi
allowance should not be drawback to
Ellis ambition. as there are ways OF re-
EQUIPMENT for services which are gener-
ally known to the experienced.
Fleming says he "must have left a
sore spot on the democratic body polite
which afterwards raised boil" to use
his own classic phrase. Not exactly. But
he left once upon time sore spot upon
the democratic body polite which after
wards raised howl. And about it the
republicans were not very hilarious.

Thst was a sad mistake for two nsugh-

says they did. Jim Fisk used to say that

IAN the woes of England are due to
free trade, and all the blessings of Amer
lea are due TO protection.
This is the broad statement which the
republican forces are repeating again and
again. Here is specimen OF their srgu-
ment:
/. Jack the Ripper killed fifteen
women in Eneland.
2. England is a free trade country.
3. Do you want Jack the Ripper to
kill fifteen women in this coTntryp
4. If not, vote for republicsnism and
protection.
The republican forces then proceed to
call attention to the other side of the pic
ture. Thew tell story something like
this:
A New York farmer who was always
believer in free trade had hen which
would not lay eggs. He tried all the
patent medicines which were advertised
in bis paper. but to no avail. The hen
would not lay. Matters went on thus
until the morning of Oct. 6 dswned
bright and clear. The farmer went to
his hen coop, when imagine his surprise
TO find that his hen had laid seventeen
eggs. He was puzzled to account for it
until he bethought himself that on that
day the Mckinley law went into force.
The farmer is now good protectionist.
And now, says the republican earn
estly. Tin the face of such record, will
you deliberately vote for anything but q
republican,

thinks hard Moline Republican.

That Anealxinx aircular.

An honest. upright and conscientious
citizen. OF character unquestioned in his
own home, and for fair dealing pattern
and an example. Mr.. Ben. T. Cable has
been made the mark for the most sour
rilous and libelous assaults that could be
conceived in the minds of wicked and
desperate enemy. The circular we print
today, which contains the most wicked
lies that could be invented. was printed
as republican campaign document. and
has been circulated broadcast over this
county and in every county of this con-
gressionsl district excepting Rock Island
(Mr. Cables home), where it would not
do to give publicity to such vile and stu
pendous falsehoods. Upon getting hold
OF this libelous circular 1t is promptly
published in the Rock Island Demo-
cratic newspapers that the voters of that
county may see the low depths the
Gestites have descended to. and every
villainous lie is nailed, and the traducers
held up to the scorn their infamy de-
serves. The document, as every one can
see. has no name or mark to show its
propagators. nothing to show who are
responsible for its wicked untruths. If
| truthful in any sense, its inventors would
have been too glad to attach some signss
ture to give it character and weight
among voters. Its anonymous nature
shows that its statements are fslseboods,
| lies and ISLANDERS. As Foraker was de-
festsd for governor of 0aio in conse-
9uence of the libels published against his
opponent Campbell. so will Gsst be de-
feated for congress in the Eleventh Dis
trict of Illinois. There are hundreds oil
honest republicans in Mercer county who
do not believe in campaign Of Islander
and who will condemn the method:

Campaign Lies.

Mr.. Clements. at Hamilton, last
Friday told his hearers that the women
OF this country are selling $l25. 000, 600
worth of milk every year, and were it
not for the tariff this could not be done"
and that on butter and eggs the figures
were equally high. He said that former,
" all OF this was thrown away, but now
it could all be saved. and added to the
farmers profits. AS long as this could
be done it made no difference to the
masses how high the tariff is. And Mr.
Gest, the man who never failed to vote
against the interests of Illinois, cor
rOborsted every assertion made by
Mr. Clements. Voters. what do you

Tiriag Them Out.

A Macomb dispatch to the st. Louis
Republic on the oath saws:
Congressman Gest's speech here last
night is the butt OF ridicule Of the town
today. After vainly sssaying to whip in
many influential republican boilers, the
machine sent for Gest and Attorney Gen
ersi Hunt to make speeches. The opera
house was crowded. but Gest so wesried
his audience by his lame defence of Reed
ism and McKinleyism. that his hearers
filed out by squads and plstoons Alex
Mclean. leading republican, arose and
personally appealed to the audience to
hear Gest out. but the exodus continued
until but few of the faithful were left.
An open revolt against Gest in Macomb
is causing him some unessiness. Repub-
licans whose fealty has never before
sweryed are openly working for Ben Ca
BILE, the democratic nominee, and If sp-
pearances are not deceiviug democrat
will represent the Eleventh Illinois dis
trict in the next congress.

Charity Not Business.

admiring multitudes may gaze on him as
the greatest wonder of the nineteenth
century. We know that the price of
goods OF all kinds has been in
creased. We know that every one who
uses the products of American manufac
turers pays more for them. We know
that the manufacturers get the money.
We know that the republican party de-
clared that under these circumstances the
manufacturers would pay higher wage I.
Why don't they do itf The reason is that
they are not in business for charitable
purposes. II the law enables them TO

fulness of anger. Said he:
ST. Paul has admonshed against the sin of
giving way to anger. Anger is not only vice but
it is contrary to sound reasoning. There times
when anger and indignation at the wrongs done
another is not sinful, but how frequently do men
fall into unreasonable passion at the most trivial
things. 1t like the story of the two shepherds
One wished that he might own field as vast as
the sky. and the other wished he owned sheep as
innumerable as the stars in heaven. But" said
the first shepherd what would you do with all
your sheep?" II would pasture them in your
feld,' was the answer. II would like to see you
do that" said the first shepherd and from words
they came to blows, and went at it tooth and mai
How often it happens that men with ill-governed
tempers, WILL like these two shepherds, quarrel
about the most trifing affairs-things in which
they are not even remotely concerned
1t is related that traveller in Switzerland hav-
ing heard of lake that was very sensitive to the
least disturbance of its waters, and wishing to

thunder storm arose. How many men there are
who are sensitive that the least thing affects
most violent anger. Oh, how the devil delights to
enter the passionate mans heart and make him
like a wild beast! We should avoid giving offense,
and guard against anger; and it would be well to
follow the example of the ancient philosopher,
who when he felt anger would always repeat the
alphabet twice over and by that time his passion
would be gone. simple thing like this may
often save us from quarrels and troubles There
is nothing to gain by anger, but on the contrary.
we lose by it. for medical authority tells that
passion weakens the body and shortens our lives
But we should take higher plane OF thought and
follow the meek and patient Savior who suffered
as ever did, and no sights no insults
ever disturbed the calmness of his soul. The
Lord Jesus humble He left spotless pat
tern, that should follow his steps, and of the
glores that unite in that example. none shine
brighter than humility. and should take up
our cross daily and follow him.
