The long drawn out Senatorial fight in
Illinois eliminated on Wednesday last in the
selection of Hon. John M. Palmer, the Dem
ocratic nominee. The contest has been one
of the most remarkable ON record.
The Democracy of Illinois nominated John
M. Palmer for United States Senator at the
state convention, and the campaign last year
was Palmer issue. The people elected 10l
Democrats, 100 Republicans and 8 Alliance
men to the legislature. The popular MAORI
ty for Gen. Palmer was nearly 10000.
For two months, and for 154 consecutive
ballots in the legislature, every Democratic
vote in the general assembly was cast for
Palmer. The Democrats stood like stone
wall and never wavered a moment. They
won, and Gen. Palmer is elected. Two Al
lance men Joined the Democratic hosts. and
the Democratic and peoples victory was con-
summated.
The cause Of Democracy is. Just and must
prevail against Republican rasOality,
bulldozing and Doodle.

One of the barbarous customs dragged
across the Atlantic from Europe, and
Americanized with an eagerness char
acteristic of the way in which we ape
our English brethren, is that of tipping
walters etc. while travelling. On the
cars, in the hotels and on the streets,
for any little service rendered, the hand
is silently raised to right angle with
the body; whether behind, before or
either side, you see it and must re-
spond.
When the laws became so stringent
with the art of highway robbing, these
debonair people gradually abandoned
the profession and sought a field pro-
life in opportunities ITO work" the
travelling public for "tips." A return
trip on the cars to Okolona is getting to
be difficult without falling victim to
the quiet onslaught of these robbers,
who are but automatons, but who know
their work 80 we'll.

migrate beyond the corporation limits.
We have here gang, or rather several
gangs, of outlaws who systematically
consume the entire night in robbing
and being robbed. Neither are these
gangs composed of the lower element,
but some ofour "best" citizens repair

hush it up about 5000 marks in cash
was absolutely required. The baron en-
tered into negotiations with Mr.. Alt

The interest was paid promptly, and the
little bill was extended several times
without any difficulty.
In advocating the antiusury bill in
the reichstag Baron Marschall delivered
vehement speech against blood suck
ing usurers, especially those of Hebrew
descent. The law as passed, largely
owing to Marschall's persistency, was
exceedingly vague in its provisions, leav-
ing it practically to the discretion of the
courts to say whether in any given case
, the taking of more than 6 per cent. was
criminal usury, punishable by impris-
onment at hard labor and by fines.

as a perfectly safe and sensible transac-

"A reply soon came from the Hebrew,
acknowledging the baron's good inten-
