CHICAGO, Feb 26-The most ofensively
obtrusive feature of Western town to the
casual visitor is the bad hotel service. It
would really seem that degree of civiliza-
tion that produces such great newspapers
and city that is conspicuous for its ad-
vanced position in all the varied avenues Of
active modern business life might also de-
serve to be commended in this respect. On
fortunately for those most affected by the
results it is quite otherwise.
do not rely wholly upon my own per-
sonal experience of some years travel, but
have had ample testimony of my fellow
men. There have been recently erected in
Chicago some family hostelries that may
possibly be an Improvement on the old
lines so far as architecture and conveniences
are concerned, but it is not these features
that are of particular moment to the tempo
rary sojourner. The good hotel endears
itself to you BY the character of its creature
comforts and not by its size, its style Of
architecture or the expense involved in its
floors and wainscoting.
Bad Service and Poor Meals.
Bad liquor is Just as bad over an onyx bar
as over counter Of unpalnted wood. 1t is
worse-for the contrast offends ones sense
of the congruities as well as the palate. So
bad service and poor meals are more aggra

prices exceed anything in Continental

Second choice


The protection brethren passed the Nc
Klnley bill TO keep out foreign imported
goods, because they did not want the pro-
duct of pauper labor in Europe to come In
competition with the product of our own
wage earners, and now, that the bill Is In
operation, they are boas,ing that we i'm
port more goods than before the passage
of the bill. Such Is the consistency o
those who support a scheme, that, BY the
strong arm of the law, takes the hard
earned coin out of one mans pocket and
puts 1t into The pockets of another,-the
protected pet of the administrator. Then,
again these same protection brethren have
been deaouncing democrats as "free
traders" and promoters of British interests
because thew propose TO put binding twine,
cotton ties, salt, lumber, etc, on the free
list, and stil they put sugar on the free
list and boast of the great benefits derived
therefrom as being the very best feature
OF the Mckinley bill. In fact about the
only two things thet these su bservient
supporters of protec,ion's iet can boast OF
concerning the Mckinley bin Is free sug ar
and reciprocity, the first of which Is free
trade pure and simple, while the other Is
the strongest ontreaching tendency to
free trade. simple minded and unsophis-
ticatrd republicans all over the country are

Deep down in the heart Of democracy the
free trade policy IL paramount, ~ much so
Rs II il in Great Britain. but the party dare
not give public expression to its ideas on
the tariff. On several occasions We have
attempted 10 force an unequiyocal admission
on this point from our democratic cotem-
porariea; but in every instance they have
eyaded direct answer 10 the question.
--MogHiaiaeer
The statement that democrats dare not

1t is just as important that democrats
should select a candidate who can
carry Indiana, West Virginia, Connecticut,
and Virginia as one who can carry New
York. In other words SO electoral votes
In other states are just as necessary as the
thirty six In New York. Hence we are
not to consult New York alone. 1, Is high
time that the democracy OF the country
should assert Its equality with the democ-
racy Of New York. We can offnrd to lose
both Cleveland and Hill, but we can not
afford to lose the presidency when It q In

advice but the organ overlooked the fact
that in giving such advice It was advising
voters to vote against the subtreasury

was ever proposed than that scheme.

TROTWOOD'S TALK.
Interesting to Farmers, Breeders and
Dairymen.
Facts, Figures and Information of
General Interest to the Country
Gentleman.
Gathered from Everywhere.

Trotwood has said, and, as he has
become more familiar with the stock
and farm journals he repeats, that
as a class they are the best all round
family reading journals in the world.
Not a one that comes to our table but
that is fit TO go to the family fireside,
and contains better reading matter
than half the trashy stories now
printed. But many OF them have a
serious fault. They are plagfarists-
not on columns, but on short facts,
notes, bon HOts, and editorials. Some
are lamentably weak on this point ;
in fact, regular kleptOmaniacs. Per-
haps they are descendants of Scotch
freeboOters OF the 10Th century and
the instinct is gradually 20etering out.
II so, may good, systematic out-breed-
ing soon eradicate the instinct.
Gentlemen. when you publish q
column called "GatheEed from every
where" or "Gleanings," or Facts
from Others,n why not give those
others the benefit of their work? 1t
will do you good and help them also
Why? Because you will go to work
yourself 20 depend on yourself and to
get up better reading matter, and
they will work harder, seeing their
work appreciated by others. What
good will it do you to go out some
night, steal one neighbours corn, an
others chickens, thirds wheat and
the yellow dog of the fourth, nail
them all up in your own barn and
