Oats harvest is over III the south,

This has been a great week for the

ginning to silk, it is beginning to tas-
sci in the central counties, while some
precocious fields have begun to silk.
The flax harvest has begun as far

The National Lincoln Monument.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July Is, 1892
1t is warm sultry morning in the
city. But at nine o'clock, as our car
riago passes under the arched gateway
of Oak Ridge Cemetery, with its wind

their cool green leaves tenderly shelter
US from the scorching rays of the sun
and the peace and quiet of the place
falls ON our hearts like a benediction.

In the ravines, the willows, water

the cool water. On the first high
eminence stands the Lincoln monu-
ment" alone, far above the "silent
majority around. Its noble white
shaft pointing to heaven, is thrown
into fine relief by the fine old forest
trees extending along the ridge back
of it. This noble white shaft seems
like the finger of an angel silently
pointing an answer to the dove, which
through the dim silence seemed to call
where? where? There is a small lake
at the side of the hill on which the
monument stands, from the center of
which fountain throws Its cool spray
of water twenty five or thirty feet,

water lilies at its feet.

ton, kindly furnished by the secretary
it will be seen that the editor of the
REGISTER was nominated by acclama-
ton as Republican candidate for State
Senator from this district. He wishes
to express to the Republicans of Allen
and WoodsOn counties his sincere
thanks for this unusual distinction
and to assure them that no possible
care or effort shall be lacking to justi-
fy their confidence. There is a story
about a cow-catcher that said to itself
MY. what a terror / am, Just see
how yank this train along!" The
nominee of the Yates Center conven-
ton does not imagine for a moment
that he is ''yanking" the Republican
train along simply because he happens
to be in front. His only expectation
of success is born of the hope that the
unanimity which marked his nomina-
tiOn may distinguish his support dur
ing the campaign. The battle from
this time forth will be a Republican
battle, and the victory which a har-
monious and enthusiastic campaign
assures, will be Republican victory.

THE inquiry has been made of the
REGISTER whether it is really true as
stated last week, that some of the
workmen in the Homestead mills
have been getting S1I.66 day. We
have no personal knowledge of the
matter, of course, but it was the sworn
testimony of the managers of the mill
that their most expert wOrkmen were
paid that sum for eight hours work.
According to this testimony the
wages range down as low as $40 a
month, but it is claimed that the pro-
posed reduction, ON account of which
the men are striking will not affect
any of the men who receive less than
$500 a day AS stated last week, we
have no knowledge as to the justice or
injustice of the proposed reduction of
wages. But the evidence makes it
clear that the demagogical attempt of
the free traders to make il appear that
the Homestead mill owners were try
ing to force their employees to accept
starvation wages has signally failed.
