From our Washington correspond
ent: The Presidents message was re-
ceived on 9th inst. with the usual at
tention in both branches of congress.
The senators, perhaps, gave more
heed to the reading by the clerk than
did the house. That part of the doc
ument which characterized the meth
cd of selecting presidential electors
inaugurated by the Legislature of
Michigan as an unfortunate and even
a threatening episode; the sugges-
tions that the mode of choosing elect
ors should be made more uniform by
constitutional amendment, and that
means should be taken to eliminate
gerrymandering, and the Presidents
views on free coinage received the
closest attention.
The election of Chas. F. Crisp to
the speakership of the house of rep
resentatives is significant in at least
two particulars. First, in showing
the change which has come over the
country within the last few years.
Let some one of the earnest Republi-
cans .imagine what their feelings
would have been twenty years ago
that the day would come when an ex-
Confederate soldier would sit in the
chair occupied by Schuyler Colfax.
Yet that day has come and they are
here to see it and the fact that the
successful Crisp so served in the Con-
federate army does not excite even
ripple on the quiet surface of their
most excited, intense feelings. Truly
the times have changed and we have
changed with them. But this is a
forward movement in the right di-
rection. No one is so foolish as to
deprecate it. The country is getting
together and even Confederate sold
iers can be good American citizens.
The secohd significant feature found
in his election is this, that Mills, his
principal opponent, the Eossessor of

"Father of the GreenbaCk."

VI lEIO vi
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 80 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 a 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 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 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 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 inn
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.

In 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 prophesies OF
the Old and New Testaments, that
the Israelites would be returned to
their fatherland.

man than Crisp, is relegated to the
rear.z.Whyf Because he is an out
and out free trader, the representative
and spokesman of the platform upon
which ex-President Cleveland stands.
His defeat demonstrates that the DEM
ocratic party is afraid to gobefore the
country on that issue and therefore
the defeat of Mills is regarded by
many politicians as a victory over
Cleveland.

Advertistng Ephgrams.

Lying advertisements are and always will be failures in the long run.
 Pay as much attention to your adver- tising as you do to your other purchases and you will get equally satisfactory re- sults
 Avoid surperlstives, since constant use weakens their effect. Successful adver- isers employ the simplest words and forms of expression.
 It may be safely asserted that an ad- vertisement possesses more value when 1t is first printed than it does on second appearance, and that it lessens in value as it grows stale; hence the importance of frequent changes--J. Walter Thomp- son.
 ssTo discontinue an advertisement" ]" says John Wanamaker, Philadelphia's great merchant, ssis like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let the public know it. Stand ing advertisements are better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more substantial and business like and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising.o

Dravem to Suicide by Love Of his Dead Dog.
 Sidney Clay was 8 London builders clerk; living in Euston road. He was 36 yeRrs of age. and had wife and several children. A sister-in-law lived with the family, and this lady had a pat dog, a toy terrier called Peep, which became 8 great favorite with all. Last July Clay took the pet dog for 8 walk, and lost 1t i; presumably the creature was stolen, for 1t was xtraofdinaryss ssmaN and marvel lously intelligent. Clay made every ef- fort to, recover the, pet, but failed. Thereupon he became Respondent and moody, and last Sunday he suddenlysfell dead in the family sitting room. At the post-mortem examination it transpired that the man had taken dose of cyanide of potassium with suicidal intent. It seems that Clay had for 8 long time con templated making away with, himself. for 8 letter dated July 18l addressed to his wife was found upon his person.
 z .tTo the best and dearest of women, Marian, my wife," he wrote there are times in the life of man when he Is supremely happy. Such has been my lot with you until quite recently. Then comes downfall such as has befallen me.

SCOT AND ENGLisHMAN.

Education Helps to Keep Alive a Species
 of Antagonism.
 It=has taken nearly two centuries to make the truth very clear; and even now there is among few an ltte mpt to deny it. and to declare that the spirit of Scotch nationality would be purer and better without being tied to the clay of the British body. Education it. self helps to keep the feeling alive. Just as every boy in the United States hates England when he reads at school of the American war Of independence, and considers Bunker Hill as an un- doubted victory, so every urchin in Scotland revels in visions of the heroic feats of Wallace and Bruco, and of the day when the dead Douglas won the fight at Chevy Chase, and thinks how he. too, would enjoy such days, and how easy 1t would be to 'swhip'' 120, 900 English with S0.- 900 Scots, as did the good King Robert on that morning under the hill of Stirling in 1914
 And be knows from those far-away times onward to those of which he may have heard his great-grandfather speak there were fights between Scotch arm iessand English armies, in which the Southron did not come of best without Scotch help. and he very rightly thinks shat he could fight three Englishmen at least. That old border line was madefgood against the wea1thier na- tion for thousand years, and it could again be held if necessary. So his pride swel1s, and he, at all events. is not among those against whom Walter Scott wrote:
 Breathes there man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said:
 "This is my own, my native land?"
 Is it necessary to hold that border aine2 Some people think nowadays that they will emulate Bruce and Wallace; and because they can't get all they want in agrariar disputes and social equality, and this and that in local Rrangles, the work of the eighteenth century is to be revised and the great union Is to be debased and annuled for the elevation of their little selves Marquis of Lorne, in North American Review.

The stransest of Pets.

On smalh island in the middle of the South Pacific lives planter, the only white man on the island ia full of brown-slinned folks-who cuts and dries the meat of cocoanut, which he sells to trading vessels. When any stranger stops at his island, he gives him of the best that tho island affords, he will getup great concerts and dances of the islanders; above all, he will take them out to see his pet which is, per- haps, the largest and oldest animal that was ever petted by any man. This pet is a sperm whale nearly seventy feet long. He came through the narrow en- trance into the little harbor, which is walled in by coral reef, when quite small, and remained until he had grown 90 large that he could not get out if he wanted to. The great creature comes up to be fed when the planter blows his horn, and after his meal of barrel of chopped meat or fish, performs some wondrous and amusing tricks, appar- entIy knowing what is expected of him.
