tors are elected. Among the senatorial
candidates defeated is Robert Howard.

ILLINOIS STATE NEWS.
Raising Small frhit.

Not only have the grain growers of
central Illinois had prosperous year,
but also those engaged in raising small
fruits In fact from the reports so fat
received it appears that the latter in-
dhstry, if properly attended to, offers
greater rewards than any. other line OF
agriculture, and can be engaged in
with a comparatively small amount Of
capital. This branch of agriculture has
heretofore been strangely neglected in
Illinois, but from present Indications
such will no longer be the case.
Many Of the farmers have set out fruit
trees and vines on ground that was formerly
devoted to grazing. and although sufficient
time has not yet elapsed to make complete
test, it is generally agreed that the change
has been very much for the better. As an
instance, the record of a fruit farm 100 acres
in extent may be given. The owner has
gathered 6lS bushels of cherries, 500 bushels
of currants, 200 bushels of pears 1o3 bushels
OF English Gooseberries, besides immense
quantities of smaller fruits. He has 10000
bearing grape vines, from which he has
10000 gallons of wine, worth at wholesale 81
gallon. His wife has five acres in roses,
every known variety being represented
The flowers from the latter sell at marvellous
done in central Illinois in the line of fruit
raising If the average farmer would devote
that amount of land to fruit, and attend to
it, he would find it the most profitable part
of his agriculture. Beginners ought TO go
slow, doing only much as can be done
well, since nothing but the best production
will pay, and it may safely be estimated
that, besides the land, every acre of small
fruit properly prepared, planted and
brought to a bearing age will cost from SID
to $780, or their equivalent in honest work Mt
day

The police paid no attention to the

made the reverend gentleman more

Ex-President Cleveland OH the Results


New YORK, Nov. 4.--When seen at
his residence in Madison avenue by
reporter of the United Press, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland gave his opinions of the
result of the election as follows: "Of
course everyone has a right to put his
own construction upon the result, and
am not anxious to obtrude my ideas,
but it seems to me something ought to
be no longer doubtful. Anyman who still
thinks that tariff reform is settled
and obsolete issue, or that the inn
portance of sound and safe money is u
question upon which the people can be
blinded, is either wilfully wrong or
dangerously dull. 1t seems to me, too,
that democrats ought to be satisfied
that a staunch adherence to the prlncl-
pies of their party does not re-
ouire the abuse of those who
show an inclination to help us.
I very much regret the defeat OF
Gov. Campbell. He has been
brave and honest official. This and the
splendid canvas he made entitled him
tn success. While the election of Flow
or. Russell and Boies ought to cause
the utmost rejoicing among democrats,
they should not forget that with these
things comes the obligations to be true
to the people, honest in the advocacy
OF our principles and in all things"
