We have read presidential messages
from the time the grandfather of the
present president occupied the presi-
dental chair down to the one recently
submitted to congress by the grand
son of "Old Tippecanoe, and we can
honestly say that in our opinion the
last one is fully equal in point OF abil-
itv t. any Of il, Dr,lece55ors. 1t is
a clear, comprehensive and manly
document, giving the reader a full
knowledge Of the condition of the
affairs of this country and its rela-
tions with foreign nations.

"Father of the Greenback."


The announcement of the death OF
Col. E. D. Taylor in Chicago On the
4th inst appears in many of the lead:
ing papers of the country. He died
at the advanced age of SO years; was
a cousin of President Zachary Taylor
and one of the prominent citizens OF
Illinois, where he resided nearly his
whole life, and had seen Chicago grow
from q mere trading post to one OF the
great cities of the Union.
We first became acquainted with
Col. Taylor in the summer of 1857, at
La Sale, Illinois, where he at one time
resided, and was ON the most friendly
and intimate terms with him up to the
time of our removal to Morris. In the
latter years of his life Col. Taylor be-
came a confirmed spiritualist and was
exceedingly happy in the spiritualis-
tic belief. He often consulted spirit
ual mediums, and it was during one
of these "seances" that the Colonel
received from a female medium in
Chicago the letter recently published
in the Minneapolis Times in connec;
ton with his obituary notice, purport-
ing to come from Abraham Lincoln,
giving the Colonel the credit of being
the father of the greenback currency
This letter was shown us some six
years ago by the Colonel at Ottawa,
Ill, at which time he informed us that
he received it through the aforeeaid
spiritual medium. He also showed
us a letter purporting to come from
his friend Stephen A. Douglas-re-
ceived from the same source-giving
certain advice to President Cleveland
as to how he should run his admins
tration. The Colanel afterwards Wis
tied Washington and we presume
communicated to President Cleveland
the message from Douglas.
As to Col Taylor being the "father
of the greenback currency the news
papers are away off. The real father
of the greenback is Hon. Alexander
Campbell of La Sale, Ill, some years
ago a member of congress. AS long
ago as the spring and summer of 1861
while engaged in the publication OF
the La Sale County Press, at LaSalle,
Ill, we "set up" and published in that
paper many long articles written by
Campbell advocating the issuing Of
greenbacks. Campbell also cores
ponded with President Lincoln and
Secretary Chase in relation to this i'm
portant matter, and it was Campbell
who first suggested to President Lin
coin the idea of issuing the green
back currency. Campbell's articles in
favor of greenbacks were written years
before Taylor became convert to the
greenback system. The truth is, the
Colonel in his latter years became a
sort of monomaniac on the greenback,
and talked so much on the subject
that he made himself believe that he
was really the originator of the green
back, but he wasn't all the same.

Douglas County independents:
About September lst circular was
issued to the farmers by the great
Alliance leaders urging them to hold
their wheat for sixty days, to stand
off their creditors, etc.; that by so
doing they would get 81 or S1.50 per
bushel. Wheat was then bringing
IS to 80 cents per bushel. Quite a
number of farmers, Throughout the
country did SO, asking for an extern
sion of time on bills due Sept. and
Oct. 1st to Dec. 1st and many of them
are now obliged to sell wheat at rs
cents. Thereby losing from 10 to
Is cents on every bushel sold. How
these deluded farmers must appreci-
ate such advice. They will gradual
ly learn that the very men that pre-
tend to be so much interested in their
welfare and are continually warning
them to beware of others, are their
worst enemies and will only lead
them into difficulties and ruin in the
end, if they continue to follow their
advice.

In a recent number of Our Day the
Rev. w. E. Blackstone holds that the
wisest and most natural solution OF
the question of the disposition OF the
Jews expelled from Russia is their
return to Palestine, and that the Uni
ted States may properly intercede for
the Jews in promoting this end. This
would be realizing the prophesles OF
tho O1d and New INSTRUMENTS, that
the Israelites would be returned to
their fatherland.

rear. Why? Because he is an out
and out free trader, the representative

which ex-President Cleveland stands.
His defeat demonstrates that the Dem

country on that issue and therefore
the defeat of Mills is regarded by
many politicians as victory over
Cleveland.

THE split in the democratic ranks
in the state of Louisiana is as complete
as 1t possibly can be. Some of the
strongest democrats in the state,
those who have held the most impor.
tant offices in its administration from
governors down, are ranked on both
sides of the question. The anti-lot.
teryites propose to carry the fight to
Washington and enlist such congress
sional and administrative support as
their best presentation of their cas- Q
can secure. While it is true that the
lotteryites are numerically stronger
and representthe regular democracy
OF the state, their opponents are ter
ri6ly In earnest, having but one idea,
the destruction of the power of the
lottery, and will make what combi-
nations they can to accomplish their
purpose, regardless of its effect on the
democratic supremacy of the state.
In this view of the case the republI-
cans of the state may make the most
of the situation by working in combi-
nation with the anti party.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

SF1FItS WAS liNSSs
AS this number OF the LIGHT makes
its way into the thousands of homes
in this city, in which it is an ever
welcome visitor, the mem bers of these
families will be preparing for their
Christmas Eve; the preparation"
for the Christmas; that season sacred
to the Peace angel and the memory OF
all holy and tender things. Thanks
giving and the Fourth of July are
memorable days and distinctly ma
tional, but they can not super
cede the Christmas tide, day
almost universally observed, and
fragrant with memories of the Christ
child which make it the day of days in
all Christian caleuds. This day comes
to you on the morrow with its heavenly
benediction of Peace. Its glad bells
ring in the new dsyof good will and
ring out the old day OF i'll will. Its
carols are songs of gladness for a
worlds redemption from the rule of
Hate and its deliverance into
the dominion of Love. The
earth is better for it's Christmas
season. 1t becomes better
tenderer, more generous, forgivipg
charitable, loving earth for observing
this day in the spirit of it. 1t is the
day in which, according to early le-
gend, heaven came down to earth with
no thought but that of love between
them, and on this day man should
meet his fellow man with no thou 9ht
but that of kindness and hui
man sympathy and helpfulness be-
tween them. The LIGHT bears to
you all, old men and maidens and
young m On and little children, and to
your mothers, who come nearer the
great .heart of the Infinite Love in
your, motherhood than any others
can,-the LIGHT bears to you this
message of good will and q tender,
Joyous reminder of the cradle song
sung over the little babe in Bethle-
hem, whose cradle story has be-
C ,me historic above all the cradle
stories of the ages. May the message
be heard not only in your ears but In
Jour hearts. May this ministry and
spirit OF peace and good will be, abide
and remain with you throughout the
Christmas day, and the Christmas
week, and gid the dying year with
the golden sunlight Of its gladness.
May you and yours, and particu-
larly the little ones in all these
homes, not only in this city but all
over this broad land, may you all
keep and enjoy this Christmas tide
with gladness in your hearts. May
the overflow of that gladness from
the plenty of the rich to the want of
the poor give double blessing; q
blessing to him who gives bless.
ing to him who receives.
