MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1891.

AN inquiring but very dense mind be-
longing to q Philadelphia monopolist or
one of his tools. asked the New York
World the following question:
Which is better for this country, to send
the money for tin plate over to Wales, so
that the 10. 600 Welshmen shall distribute
it among the trade there, or TO pay it out
to men here, so that it will be distributed
among our own peoplef
The World solves the problem very
neatly. and if the iDqulring mind has any
sense it will see the point. Reckoning,
says the Springfield Register. the wages
of 10. 600 tin plate workers at $500 year
each. their pay would amount to "a. 0OO,
600. Mr.. Mckinley says that there will
be paid into the national treasury this
year, from the duty (tsx) on tin, Sl6.-
600, 600. This is all paid by American
consumers of tin plate-which includes
the entire population. As business
operation, therefore, it would be better to
board the 10000 imported Welshmen st
good hotels. letting them do nothing, and
buy tin plate where it can be bought
cheapest. The American people woul
save at least Sc. OOO. 600 by the change.

That I'D ouble DI.appoin,ment.-

Under the caption of "A Double Dis
appointment to Rock Island and Moline, -
the Union of yesterday morning publish.
es card from ex-Congressman W. 81.
Gest, referring to his reported candidacy
for the republican nomination for the
office Of attorney general of the state and
saying, II am grateful to you and my
friends for the kindly spirit manifested
toward me. but desire to say that have
not been, and am not now candidate for
that Office" and also the assurance that
Hon. Charles q. Deere, of Moline, is not
. candidate for the republican nomins-
tion for congressman from the Eleventh
congressional district. In the accompany.
ing comments it is surprising with what
apparent regret the Union views Mr..
Gest's declination on the one hand, and
with what degree Of exultstion on the
other hand it announces Mr.. Deere's Io-
sition. On this point the Unions own
language will be read with interest. At
ter submitting the Monmouth Atlas pre-
sentation of Mr.. Deere's name, the Union
hastens to say:
Unhappily there ia dissenter in our
republican fold, and as that dissenier is
Mr.. Deere himself. he cannot well be ig-
nored. We had it weeks ago from Mr..
Deere's closest friends that he would not
under any circumstances consent to be
nnno;darad candidate Io
answer to every inquiry since made has
been OF the same tenor, and M. Deere
himself, when seen by the writer, most
positively declined to be candidate. II
might be that he would yield to a suit
stantislly unanimous call from the re-
publicans of the district, but even this Is
doubted by those who know his flxity OF
purpose.
It will not be at all surprising fol-
republicans after reading the Unions
''double Experimentation repub.
licans especiallY-to imagine that as be-
ween Mr.. Gest's declination to be a caudi
date for that Office" (the attorney ger

PEORIA Herald: General Wsnsmake

PEORIA Herald: General Wsnsmsker's
mammoth political scheme of having
county seat postmssters visit the smaller
Offices and report on their behavior
seems to be working to suit his great
bargain counter intellect. He is handing
out to the press samples of the replies of
his ca plains of his mighty army, which
are as sweet and iattering as the recita-
tons at the Philadelphia Sunday school,
which the postmaster general gees over
to the city of Brotherly Love TO teach
every Sunday. OF course, the object of
the postmaster general is well understood
by the intelligent public. Before Clark
SON went out he took very particular
pains to remove every democratic post
master from a county seat. These
county seat postm.sters have been parsd-
ing themselves, dressed in their little
brief authority, annoying some poor
devil who had little $500 or $500 office,
and urging him to take pole of the vo-
tiers of his precinct. This is the size of
it, and Mr.. Rathbone, machine politi-
clan, who now oficiates as fourth assis-
tant postmaster general, who, it will be
remembered, was a well,known character
in Cincinnati and Ohio under Dudley,
and was afterward appointed chief of the
detective service of the treasury, is the
instigator of this whole contemplate
piece Of political work.

Death of Henry Maldaner,

We are hardly done with the sad
duty of recording the death of one old
resident, when another is called from
the scenes OF the life among us, to that
'bourn from whence no traveller re-
turns" Henry Maldaner died Of
Bright disease at his home IN the First
ward, Wednesday evening, December
%, 1891, in bis list year. He was born
at Nassau, New Prussia, May 81, 1921,
and settled in Waterfowl in the fall Of
1913. He formed partnership in the
mercantile trade with Andrew Peter
son, now resident of Chicago. Their
business connection continued about
five years, when the partnership ceased
and Mr.. Maldaner retired from active
business, giving attention. to bis farm
in the town of Emmett. and invest
ments of different kinds. In his bust
ness ventures he was safe and shreWd,
securing for himself handsome COM
petence and leaving his family In COM
Portable and easy circumstances.
The only position of an official char
acter that Mr.. Maldaner ever held was
alderman of his ward, i. being contrary
to his quiet and reserved nature to put
himself forward In a public way. Mr..
Maldaner was twice married, his first
wife being Miss F Fels, who died in
1862, and his second wife, who survives
him, was Miss Mary Rack. He leaves
five children, three by his first wife,
namely Frank, Matilda and Paulina,
the latter being Mrs. VIM. A. Beur
haus, and two by his,second wife, Ed
ward and Arthur.
The funeral of Mr.. Maldaner was
held from his late home Saturday after
noon, large number of friends and
neighbors being present to pay the last
tribute of respect to his memory. The
body was consigned to the grave in
Oak Hill cemetery.

Destructive Fire at JOhnSOn'S Greek
Seven Buildings and Other Property
Burned.

Seven Buildings and Other Property
Burned
The main business portion of the
village of Johnson's Creek was destroy
ed by fire last Saturday morning. The
fire started at about o'clock in the
building of VIM. Stueber, occupied by
the owner as hotel and saloon, and
soon spread to the saloon building of
F. Betcher, both buildings being swept
away by the flames in a very short
time. From thence the flames extended
to the double store of Geo. G.. Mans
field, occupied by Joseph Hertle with
a general stock of goods; H. Christians
store building, the dwelling of F. Bet
cher and the Geo. G.. Mansfield Co. IS
brick office, where the fire was stayed
and prevented from spreading to Mr..
Mansfeld's dwelling house, situated a
few feet south. Mr. Mansfield used
the precaution to remove his furniture,
for at one time it looked as if all the
buildings along the street clear to the
creek would have to succumb to the
flames. IN all seven buildings were
destroyed and very little of the stocks
and contents was saved, involving
total loss amounting to between 500 900
and $25, 900. The postoffice was in the
Mansfield store, but fortunately all the
mail matter was safely removed. The
fire department of this city responded
to the call for help, the Anchor COM
pany, with the Ahrens engine, report
ing at the Greek in due time, going by
a special train on the Northwestern
The Jefferson fire company also went
to the rescue and both departments
performed good work in fighting the
fire fend. The losses and insurance
by the fire are as follows: G. c. Mans
fields double store and Office, loss
81 800, insurance $1,000 w. Stueber's
hotel and saloon; loss on hotel sand
stock of liquors and cigars and fixtures
Sd, 900, insurance $4,000. Joseph Her
ties general stock of merchandise in
Mansfeld's store, loss IS 900, insurance
$1,000. II. G. Christians store and of
fee, stock of eggs, butter, fixtures, ETC.,
loss $4,000, insurance $4,000. F. Bet
cher's dwelling house, saloon and fix
lures, furniture, ETC., loss $1,000, insur-
ance 81 400. The fire is serious blow to
the business interest of Johnson's
Creek, but the Greek is not the kind of
place to lie down under the catas-
trophe, and we doubt not that, Phoenix
like, it will soon rise from it's ashes.
