an echo of the dead past
On the oath of February last the Boston
Herald DEM said: 1T looks dark for Gen.
Palmer in Illinois. He has got 101 votes. but
he can't get Moore" This was an erroneous
statement, and although containing a moral
of punning wit, was, really, an unkind thing
thing for Democratic paper to say of the
old political war horse of the Sucker state
The same day on which the above appeared
in the Boston Herald the following was pub
siished in the Globe:
1.-The election of John NJ. Palmer is a vital
issue in the state of Illinois, despite the mist
of political sophistry thrown around it by
Republicans. He has been Endorsed by a
large majority of the resident people of the
state. And because the people want him the
Republican party, which never yet paid the
slightest attention 20 any voice save that of
arrogant monopoly, is fighting against him.
But John NJ. will be elected and one more
nail driven into the coffin of corrupt Repub-
licanism."
The only moral sought to be inculcated
here is that Democratic papers might just as
consistently give hearty Democratic encour-
agement to Democratic candidates.
Say what you will, woman is in politics and
has evidently come to stay. Especial refer
ence is had solely to American politics. 1t
was observable along during the closing days
of the late senatorial contest in Illinois that
Mrs. John a. Logan suddenly assumed an
unexpected aggressiyeness IL the melee. 1t
is now patent that Mrs. Logan, as well as
Gen. Palmer, gained a victory The facts in
the affair begin to slowly knit themselves
together. The recent letter from Mrs.
Logan to the Republican committee in
the assembly indicated desire on her part 10
have the Republicans refrain from voting for
Streeter. the f. NJ. B. A. candidate, and go
down. if go down they must, with colors
flying. This anxiety of Gen. Logan's widow
is explained. Many years ago John A. Lo-
gan was a candidate for the United States
senate before the Illinois legislature. Streeter
was one of the members of that legislature.
The latter's vote would have elected Logan,
but Streeter held himself aloof and Logan
was defeated by just one vote. Chickens
come home to roost. Streeter is laid out
cold. With John j. ingalls,, he may now
bitterly explain: Women and Indians are
the only ones who scalp the dead
Surrogate Ransom. of New York, has Of
ficially declared that Ray Hamilton is
dead" His opinion of A. j. Streeter would
be received with interest.
There are a number of people in this world
who know it all. The only objection to them
is that they daily unload it on us poor, ignor-
ant chumps and wash us away intQ the lee
scuppers.
Ex-Congressman McKinley's parents are
both alive. They are not the only parents
afflicted with bad boy.
Echoes of the Illinois explosion are still
reverberating. Republicans say it has dis
rupted the Democratic party Democrats
claim that Republicanism is as badly shiv-
cred as the giant oak riven by lightning. and
as for the F. NJ. B. AS, they are positive that
they are still whirling high in the circumam-
bent air.

An honest man need not fear news
paper criticism. If he is libelled the law
gives him redress. 1t is only the guilty
who fear newspapers. A man named
Hodson has caused a bill to be intro
duced in the legislature which seeks to
compel editors to sign their names to
articles criticising public men. We are
inclined to think that as class news
paper men are as fair and honest as any
other class, and do not hesitate to father
any articles they may write. The name
at the head of this page shows who is re-
spOnsible for all uncredited articles in
this paper-Northfeld News.

THREE INDECRATS.

Mr.. PETER is a little above medium
height, slightly STOPPING in the shout
derS, with long, sharp nose. and a long
beard of rich dark brown falling down
to the lower buttons of his waiStcoat,
and a pair of deep keen blue eyes close
together--a man of mild ministerial
bearing and placid countenance.
-
Senator Kyle, who also made the
rounds of the capitol to-day, is six
foot blonde of athletic build. He is a
man of plain appearance; a man of the
people, whose hands have been used to
toll. He does not look to be more than
thirty-fve years Of age. His hair and
mustache are not quite red, but nearly
so. His complexion is decidedly blonde,
and set of very white teeth are fire.
uuently exposed by faint smile. His
large blue eyes are expressive of little
earnestness or amiability, but the lines
in his face are strong, and his dress and
whole bearing indicate simplicity and
freedom from affectation or vanity.
-
Jerry Simpson is distinctly the an
tipode of dude, and is far from the
sockless citizen usually described. He
is a man of average size, with dark hair
and Stubby mustache, being otherwise
smooth shaven. His face is bronzed,
weather-beaten and strongly marked
with heavy lines. His eyes have a
peculiar brightness, and light up with
an intellectual fire when he talks. A
twinkle that comes into them at times,
and a smile that is just visible at the
corners of his mouth, indicate a keen
sense of humor and at the same time a
degree of self-confidence. His suit was
a sort of gray goods of ''hand-me-down"
cut. His shoes were heavy, with square
toes and laced with leather strings. His
neckwear was plain standing collar
turned down at the corners and Orna
mented with black ''shoestring" tie.
and he might be regarded as a decidedly
questionable figure, but not by any
means uncouth.

Donnelly wants the newspaper libel
law changed. AS it is, a senator or any
member of the house can libel an editor
by saying he can buy him for dollar
and the editor has no recourse. We be-
lieve with Mr.. Donnelly that the law
should be changed so that an editor can
be protected against the libelous state
ments of lawyers and legislators.-Todd

There is bad air in the capitol at st.

same complaint, resolution is adopted
