For Attorney General.

The office of attorney general of .
great state like Illinois is one that should
be filed by lawyer of more than or
binary ability, and the people will there
fore recognize the Importance of elect
ing Mr.. Moloney, the Democratic candi-
date, over MIR. Prince, his Republican
opponent. Mr.. Prince has never been
recognized as great lawyer, and is not
even esteemed a good lawyer by those
who know him best. Such men should
not aspire to hold positions which they
are incapable of filling properly. On
the other hand, Mr.. Moloney has q
record as lawyer which proves
his fitness for the position he
seeks. The office of attorney general
will be we'll administered under his
direction, and the people will never
blush for him as they have been called
upon to do for some of his Republican
predecessors.

Gov. Fifer and 1.-THE Herald"

Gov. Fifer admits that The Herald is
a reliable Democratic paper. Having
made this admission the governor should
take time to answer these questions pro-
pounded by The Herald:
/. Why did Gov. Fifer approve of
the illegal expenditure of 81, 063 rs by
the secretary and president of the state
board of health during the first quarter
of 1889?
g Why did Gov. Fifer approve of
the illegal expenditure of $500 by the
secretary and president of the st; e
board of health during the last quarter
of 1899?
3. Why did Gov. Fifer approve Of
drawing that $500 from the state treasury
before the beginning of that quarter and
before there was any necessity for spend
ing it?
4. Why did Gov. Fifer appoint F. w.
Reilly a member of the state board of
health after he knew that Reilly had
buncoed the legislature of 1899 and had
been mixed up with the Brinkerhoh
bride st the same time.-Peoria Herald.

GIVES HIM AWAY.

Governor Fffer's Love for the Working
men Prompts Him to Buy State Supplies
ut the truck Stores.
On page Of the last auditors report
we find the following among the ex-
penditures Of the governors contingent

stores, straw, tools, ETC., fur
nished troops, l. n. g., in field. S672.SO
In addition to above is the following
on same page:
Spring Valley Coal Co.'S store,
subsistence stores, tools, ETC.,
furnished troops, 1. n. g., in
field .$17265
Here is showing that can hardly be
denied or ignored. 1t tells its own story.
When the state troops were Quartered
at the mines to control the actions of the
miners their supplies were purchased at
the truck stores located at these places,
and the records show that they were
purchased out of the governors con-
tingent fund, which is under his abso-
lutte control, and that he approved the
sale by his signature on the vouchers.
His henchmen are going around over
the state claiming great credit for that
official because be did not veto the anti
truck bill passed by the last legislature.
Fifer knew if he vetoed the bill it would
be passed over his veto, and hence he
was compelled to sign it. If he was
such a friend of the miners why was it
that he had his militia patronize only
the truck stores at Braidwood and
Spring Valley? Claiming to be the
friend of the miners, the moment they
strike for living wages and against the
infamous truck store system, he sends
his militia forward to shoot them into
subsection, if need be, and shows his adj
ditional love for them by going to the
truck stores for supplies. About the
last man in the state who has any claim
upon the miners is Joseph w. Fifer.-

three months, although the money for
the purpose is in the hands Of the
treasurer Of each institution at the be-
ginning of each quarter. He gets the
steady use of sum equal to what it
