Referring to the McClure-N icolay
controversy the New York Sun saws:
Mr.. Lincoln was by no means a SIM
pie or transparent character; and he
was far enough away from the crude,
guileless and mushy philanthropist
which some people imagine him to have
been. To inform the world that he
thought it advisable to have with him
on the ticket a Southern candidate for
vice-president, who had formerly been
a Democrat, would have been folly such
as he was never known to commit. He
was not only great statesma an, but a
great and shrewd and all-considering
politician also.

A Pittsburg dispatch to the Associa

An extensive raid was made by the
police tonight on "speak easies" or un-
licensed saloons. Fifteen places were
raided and nearly hundred men and
women who were in the places were ar.
rested.
Pennsylvania has high license law
which is said to be the strongest even
enacted, yet it does not seem to restrict
to any alarming degree in Pittsburg.
According to the logic of the Sioux
Falls Press, there must be strong sen.
timent in that city against the enforce.
ment of such law, therefore the Law
ought to be replaced by one that can be
enforced. In other words, the saloor
should be allowed to control its own leg
islation, and if high license does not
suit it, give it low license. Do not these
repeated violations of all liquor laws
sustain the position THE REPUBLICAN
has always taken that the saloon bust
ness is inherently lawbreaking pur.
suit, and that the fault lies not in the
laws themselves, whether they be pro
hibitory or restrictive in q greater OF
less degree, but in the disregard for all
law that the business engenders? And is
not this fact sufficiently patent to war.

H0W APUZZLE WAS SOLVED,

When you want certain article, you want

But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you.
by authority which cannot be questioned.
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear of one Dug
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 st
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those Of America. .were
in competition. They were passed upon bya
jury composed Of the best foreign mechsn-
ical experts. two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best Of all. and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority. decorated M
Nathaniel Wheeler, president Of the com.
pany, with the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor, the most priced honor Of France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor of the No. and No. 10 Wheeler 4
Wilson machines.
The No. 8, for family use, and the No. 12,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want q sewing ma.
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. 8 Wheeler & Wilson machine, and if he
does not keep them, write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

The heaviest and most useless tax the
people of this country pay is the saloon
tax.
But somehow it is the most willingly
paid, even by those who don't drink and
have no use for the saloon on general
principles. And great many tax pay
ers seem to prefer to pay it so that the
saloon keeper gets good fat rake off
than to pay great deal less but pay it
direct. lisa queer situation all around.

We print today the views of number
the papers of the state with reference
70 the proposed conference of Republi-
ean editors upon campaign methods in
connection with the state campaign
hext year. All the brethren who have
spoken thus far, with one exception,
favor the idea, and that exception
would if he were not laboring under a
misapprehension of the object of the
proposed gathering. AS The REPUB-
LIcAN understands it the meeting is not
Intended to discuss candidates or to
Suggest departure from the we'll estab-
tabllshed tenets of Republican faith,
which could be easily agreed upon and
sustained without any interchange of
views. But the general opinion of
|the Republican papers seems to be that
certain abuses have crept into the polit-
|ical methods in the state which
|the press perhaps better than any
other agency can remedy. The gather
ing can do no harm in any event, and if
on comparing notes the brethren find it
impossible or inadvisable to take any
concerted action well and good. The
editor, however, is or ought to be pretty
close to the public pulse and he may be
able to detect symptoms of disturbance
in the body polite which the political
leaders have not discovered and which
the right sort of attention in time can
allay. Let's get together by all means.
