islature, which last week convened and
reapportioned the state in q more

Congress has at last adjourned, and

he gloating very loudly over what the
democratic house has accomplished, or

would doubtless prefer that 1T remain
broken, if that would keep the people
in darkness concerning their labors.

The congress now sitting is one H.

have not reformed. Pledged to econo-
my, they have not economical.
Pledged to lesislate. they nave not
leglslated. Extravaganza has been

common business principles never more

That is the point referred to by
the Hatclet. we suppose, and that
settles the matter beyond dispute that
there is q vast difference between
tweedledom and t%weedledee.
AS the Mckinley bill is the system
advocated by the party of protection,
we can see that it is necessary for
the STAR 10 argue the question with
the Hatchet.
Since the Hatchets honest confession
of only occasionally reading the
papers," we fear it has overlooked
matters that might have kept it in
line with other good democratic papers,
and therefore in a spirit of good will
we give the following quotation from
rank democratic journals:
The Argus.Leader says: "Nohodv
| with sense has asserted or thought that
the Homestead troubles are due to the
tariff"
New York Sun: We regret to no
tice that some Of u democratic con-
temporarics are treating the Home
stead incident in a partisan fashion,
for which there is no excuse. They
assume that because Mr.. Andrew Car
negle and his associates at Homestead
have been engaged in an industry pro-
tected by the tariff, and because a dis
pute as to wages has arisen between
the employers and employed, protec.
tion is responsible for the Homestead
murders and mlschiefs. In congress.
too, certain persons who suppose them
selves. to be democrats have insisted
upon this visw. If strikes were never
heard of in unprotected industries, if,
in fact, the greatest strikes in the
country had not occurred III unpro.
tected industries like the steam rail
roads. if free trade England was not a
country of strikes, and if all these facts
were not known to everybody with
education enough to read large PRINT,
these assumptions might be worth con.
tradicting. As the case Is, they are so
far fetched and widely absurd that we
fear they will bring discredit upon the
democrats in the national campaign.
So much anent the strike and its
connection with the existing tariff law,
but we can give more if our e. c. can
not yet see the error of its way.
"Frhe tariff which has robbed the tax payer for
the benefit of the millionaire manufacturers, upon
the preteXt of protecting the laboring men, is re.
spnnsible for a condition of affairs which ought
tn he impossible under q republican form of GOV.

A few democrats and a like number
OF Independents got together in Custer
county last week, kissed and made up,
and agreed that they would sink OF
swim together, and now they are using
their influence to pull the remainder
of their parties into the same boat.
They want to fuse, and dolcd out the
various offices to one another in a most
gratifying fashion-to themselves.
But it is altogether likely that there
are other members OF those two parties
who will desire to be heard in the mat
ter, and if not heard in making the
nominations will be most distinctly
heard on or about the eighth day of
November. Not all of the democrats,

A Good Advancement.

The Worlds Fair hotel and private
residence Accommodation ASsOcia-
ton is an organization of business
men of Chicago, who desire that the
visit of every person to the Worlds
Fair in 1898 shall be made enioyab BILE
and profitable. To accomplish that
end, in view of the enormous number
of people who will be here at that
time and the many difficulties every
stranger will experience in obtaining
reliable assistance, information and
desirable accommodations, it is the
purpose of this Association to act as
friend, protector and guide to all
needing assistance. Until q limited
number are sold, the membership
tickets will cost 81 90.
The management offers the follow
ing accommodations and privileges
we shall aim to render to visitors to
the World Fair every service possible
to perform which will add to their COM
fort, enjoyment and safety, and pro-
tect them from being imposed upon
or Overcharged by persons locating
here temporarily with no other OBJ
iect than to "bleed" visitors of
every cent possible, Members may
use our offices as a headquarters to
meet friends, to receive mail, to use
telephones, calls for Messenger Boys,
Carriages, Cabs, etc. They will be
entitled to the use of the Association
Vaults for leaving valuables, money,
ETC., for safe keeping from day to
day during their stay. They may
place to their credit with the Treas
urer any surplus funds, and draw same
from day to day as required for use
while here They will be allowed
free use of our private Post Office,
for receiving mail or leaving letters
for friends. This will prove very
convenient to those wishing to make
engagements with friends they are
unable to find. If members have
friends from out of town whom they
desire to meet in Chicago, request
them to obtain membership ticket,
which will EMIT @ no der to register
his or her name on our "Register of
Arrivals and Departures, and to
the use of our post Office" to re-
ceive or leave messages. The great
benefit of this feature of our service
will be apparent to all, since it will
be impossible, owing to the crowd,
to find anyone, and will avoid the
annoyance of obtaining mail through
the general post-office. Our Regis
tiers will also show exactly where
members are stopping while here,
and how long they are to remain, or
when they left the city. Advice or
assistance, in case of misfortune,
will be given by the Associations at
torney. For further information,

Editor News and Citizen -
DEAR SRI have received letters
of inquiry about the country from
my Vermont friends, which would
have been promptly answered if |
had not been enjoying my spell OF
the grippe" But perhaps it is quite
as well all around that l have de-
layed so long. | have made inqui-
ries and am better prepared now to
supply the information requested
than [ was at first. So, if you will
allow me to use the columns of the
paper for the purpose, | should like
to reply in a general way. The sub
iect may have interest for Others, as
we'll.
Small tracts of land, suitable for
fruit and vegetable ranches, can now
be had in desirable localities at more
reasonable prices than last year. 1t
has been so quiet during The winter
about business that prices are not so
much inflated. There is a large class
who might do well, in my opinion, to
purchase from five to twenty acres
in locations that would suit them
for a home. Land can be had at
prices varying from twenty to one
hundred dollars per acre, in q state
of nature that would meet the wishes
of people of moderate means. Time
can usually be had for part OF, the
purchase money. | know of tracts
that l could safely recommend. But
those who cannot bring at least five
hundred dollars, especially married
men, had better wait until they have
that amount saved up before com
ing
/ should advise people to come
soon, and not wait until next fall.
Time is important. If it is not pos
sible to get around this spring very
likely prices will be up again, and it
would be better to wait until another
lull in the market Better bring the
family right along and not leave
them behind. After this, will do my
best to answer in detail according to
information received. Some letters
are of such general character that
it is very difficult to answer them so
as to do any good. If L could know
lust about how much money a cor
respondent would bring and what
kind of farming he wants to go into
| could give advice that would be
right to the point. viii say that
girls for housework get good wages
9S15 to $50 per month and board.
They are in much demand. But
Iaborers for most any kind of out
door work can be had for one dollar
per day, and less with board. 1t has
been dull here all winter. Thousands
out of employment. But the winter
has been very mild-no winter at all,
and the grippe has not been such a
scourge as in the East.
hope this will be satisfactory for
the present. When things revive up
here from a business point of view l
will write again. D. H. BICKNELL.
