HIGH LICENSE WINS,
How the Mayor of Aurora Ended the
Long Fight in the City Council.

How the Mayor OF AurOEd 1Hueu the
Long Fight in the City Council
AURORA, ILL, June 23.-The high
license people have won the long fight
in the City Council.
The developments in the struggle
finally placed Mayor Frazier in posi-
ton where he had the opportunity to
initiate the tactics of Speaker Reed, to
the advantage OF the high license con-
tingent.
After absenting themselves from tho
city for two weeks, for the purpose Of
breaking quorum and preventing the
passage Of a 81 900 license ordinance,
the wanderers came back into the fold
and adopted new methods. When their
names were called on the passage Of the
ordinance, they refused to vote. The
Mayor had power, under the rules
adopted by the Council, to compel mem
bers to vote. The Mayor proceeded TO
enforce the rule, but only one man
voted, and he voted may"
The vote stood seven yeas to one nay,
which was majority of the aldermen
present, and who constituted a quorum.
The fight then came to a climax. and
the Mayor decided that the $1,000
one nay. The decision was rendered after
an elaborate opinion had been given by
the City Attorney, TO the effect that
the Supreme Court had decided that
men who refuse To vote for the purpose
of obstructing business shall have their
votes counted in the affirmative.

LITTLE CHEEKY.


It is limited that the Nicaragua Canal
Company is getting ready to get in its
work on the next Congress for govern.
ment guarantee Of 500, 600, 900 of bonds.
1t is pretty safe to predict, however,
that il undertaken next winter the
movement will not be successful. The
next House cannot be rOped in by WAR
NER MILLER, and the very attempt to do
so would be confession Of what might
be called dOuble-dealing on the part OF
the promoters of the project. They got
from Congress a charter with the dis
tinct assurance and understanding that
the government would not be in any
wise financially responsible. 1t was
stated that there would be no difficulty
in enlisting sufficient private capital to
carry on the work TO completion.
1t would be just little audaciOuS for
these gentlemen to come to the front
now with appeals to patriotic pride and
to insist that the canal cannot be built
without government assistance.

TIE old world is rather backward In
preparing for Chicago's big show, and
the American consuls. though hard at
work, are making little impression.
The governments, of course, are suili-
GENTLY profuse in formal expressions
of sympathy, but it is not
backed up by the individuals
who are to do the work, if any is done.
France and Germany alone seem to
take any interest in it and are consider
ing plans for two fine government ex-
hibits of art and manufactures. Other
nations take but languid interest and
one or two none at all. This is not to
be wondered at in nations against whom
the United States are waging CONNER
cial war.

DON'T TELL sroRLEs. MAJOR.

What on earth did Mr., MCKINLEY
mean when he told the convention that
nominated him that the rates OF duty on
what the farmer most frequently buys
are lowered by the. new tariff law?
Surely, q man whose party boasts Of
him chiefly for the purity of his record,
does not mean TO tell deliberate false
hood about his tariff law, and one so
glaring, and easily exposed.
Let US look into his tariff law a mo-
ment. We find it imposes an additional
duty of two-tenths Of a cent per pound
on cotton ties, which the Mills bill made
free; an additional specific duty ranging
from 10 cents to 81 per dozen to the old
rate of so per cent, on pocket cutlery;
greatly increases the rates on table and
carving knives; adds to the old rate a
specific rate of from 40 cents to Sc on
shot guns; after July the enormous
tin plate increase will go into effect,
which will hit the farmer hard II he
uses roofing tin, dinner-cans, fruit and
milk-cans and tin kitchen utensils; it
imposes a heavy tax on imported
draIght horses; higher tax on his
household cottons, on his bagging for
grain and on his flax-yarns; it increases
the tax on his wife'S and children's
dresses from 8 cents a square yard and
80 per cent, to - cents and 5Oper cent. {;
increases the tax on ready made cloth
ing from 40 cents pound and 80 per
cent, or IS cents and 40 per cent, to
491E cents and 60 per cent; increases
the tax on two-ply ingram carpets from
5 cents a square yard and 80 per cent.
to II cents and 40 per cent.
And these, mind you, are but few
samples Of the increased taxes of the
farmers Of the country under the new
tariff, and by no means the most i'm
portant. And we ask again, what in
the name of truth and honesty did Mr..
MCKINLEY mean by stating that his
tariff reduced the rates of duty or what
the farmer buys most?

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
What the Prospects Are in Several of the
States.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The Farmers Re
view will say tomorrow: Harvesting Of
winter wheat has already begun in half
of the counties of Illinois and Indiana,
and about third of Ohio. The yield
is generally estimated in these
States at fifteen to twenty bush
els to the acre. In Kentucky
harvesting is in full blast, yield is poor,
estimated at from 20 to - bushels. In
Missouri, harvesting is about completed,
estimate ranges from Is to 30 bushels.
In Kansas, harvesting is well under
way; yield about 90 bushels to the
acre. Harvesting has not yet COM
menced in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Nebraska. The yield in the latter
will undoubtedly be very large, in the
other States fairly good.
Spring wheat in all the Northwestern
States is reported as doing well. Corn
is generally reported improving in con
dition and promising to do well.
Oats, prospects are reported poor in
Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and only fair
in Indiana. In other States an average
yield is expected.

CHILDREN AND FOOLS SPEAK THE
TRUTH"

The reports said that at the recent
Ohio Republican convention there was
tremendous laughter and applause"
when FORAKER exclaimed: "In the
first place we must fight that ancient
and time-honored enemy the Demo-
cratic party, which it would appear
even the devil could not kill" Refer
ring to this assertion, Gen. JOHN BEAT
rY. an old-time Ohio Republican, a
friend of Sherman, said on Saturday at
Columbus:
"Why should Foraker's suggestion that
the devil has been trying to kill the Demo
cratic party and couldn't do it, throw Re
Dublican convention into commissions of
merriment and applausel Has the great
moral reform party reached that stage OF
decentralization when 1t IS proud TO recog-
uize Satan as an ally and copartner! Holy
Moses. what a pitia6le hole tOraker's
scint;Uating elOQuence has put US in.
Heaven save us from the tempter
and deliver us from bad associations !.
Where is Deacon Smith and the
other sanc.ified members OF the Re
publican household in this hour of our
souls perill Wen, well, if Foraker didn't
mean that ne and the devil and the Repub-
blican party were il the line battling the
same ancient and time honored enemy
what did he mean: And If nobody
knows what he meant, why should there
be such tremendous applause"
Gen. BEATTY bluntly says that for
FORAKER ne "entertainS the livelieSt
contempt" Evidently harmony with the
Ohio Republicans is in much diluted
condition.

Dangerous condition of soldiers Home.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 23.-The
Legislative Soldiers Home Investigate
ing Committee is here TO look into the
alleged dangerous condition of the hos
pital building at the Home. The archi-
tect who designed the building declares
that the few cracks that have appeared
in the walls are caused by the settling
of the foundation. An architect from
Detroit, who examined the building as
an expert, declared it absolutely danger
Gus, liable to fall at any time and crush
the inmates, and further says that the
ventilating system is also defective, that
the building is veritable typhoid fever
breeder. Another expert admits that
there are defects in design and construc-
ten, and says hatrepairs are necessary
and, if neglected, the weaknesses that
have developed will become dangerous.

COUNTED WARRINGTON OUT.
The County Court of Ranawha Again on
Its Dander

It's Danuer
Special 7eLeorGnl TO The Ps0ist.r.
CHARLESTON, June 23.-The County
Court OF Kanawha county, which got up
such Il name Tor itself during the guber-
material contest by reason OF its unscru-
pulous partisan methods, has gone back
TO its old ways and is again giving the
! Democrats good deal of trouble. At
! the recent school election j. Il. Whit
| tingtOn, Democrat, was elected County
! superintendent by a majority OF 20.
Charges were at once made OF Irregular
tiles at the polls, and they were looked
into by the Court. Not one instance of
fraud was alleged nor one illegal vote
charged, but on purely technical grounds
The Court threw out three Democratic
precincts, wiping out Whittington'S
majority and giving Samuels, his OPP
ponent, majority OF over 100. This
was done by the two Republican mem
bers Of the Court, after an elaborate
and convincing argument by Hon. w.
e. Clinton, which they utterly ignored.
Cunningham, member OF the Court,
sasng as his only answer when asked
about his opinion of the law in the case,
JD1J lie was Ill ldNOl VI p"N
the Third ward. Hon. W. S. Laidly,
president Of the Court, and the only
lawyer on it, voted not TO throw these
precincts out, but the TWO partisan Re
pubicans overcame him and counted
Wilmington out yesterday.
Hon. w. e. Chiffon went before the
Court asking them TO sign bill OF ex-
ceptions showing the evidence and facts
before the court in the case. Mr.. Laidly
signed it but the other two refused,
Cunningham saying that it was not be-
cause the bill did not contain the facts
but because they had no right to sign
the bill of exceptions. Although the
same court OF which Cunningham was
then president, was compelled by the
Supreme Court to sign bill
of exceptions in the Anderson
MGinnes contest. To-day Mr.. Chiffon
secured from Judge Guthrie, of the Cir
cult Court, mandamus returnable on
Thursday to compel the Court to sign
the bill of exceptions. He also, on be-
half of Mr.. Wilmington, served notice
of contest on Samuels, the case was
docketed and set for hearing by the
County Court for the second Tuesday
in August. 1t is plain case of parti-
san Court trying to steal an Office from
the Democrats. who will fight to tho
end.

COLUMBUS, O., June 23.-Of the

State Central Committee which meet s
here tomorrow afternoon to prepare
and issue call for the convention,
fourteen are known by their own ex-
presSions to be friendly to Governor
Campbell and likely to vote to fix the
time and place of the convention, so as
TO favor him. Four other members are
in doubt, while three members, the two
from Cincinnati and one from
this city, are outspoken Neal
men. But one member of the COM
mttee is in the city tonight, Michael
Mullen, Of Cincinnati, who is doing all
he can for the Neal boom. Governor
Campbell will be able to dictate the date
of the convention, and it Is altogether
likely that Cleveland will be the place,
and the time not later than the last
week in July. So far twenty counties
have selected delegations to the State
convention and excepting the disputed
delegations from Hamilton county Neal
has secured delegation from only his
own county of Ross. He has secured a
majority of the delegation from Wash
ington county, however, and minority
Of the delegation from Guernsey and
