CLOSED ITS CAREER.
The. Liberal Club Winds UD Its
Brief Existence
After Having Changed It's Name In Or
der to Receive Recognition, 1t
Died without Grace Last Night.

At the office of E E. Parmenter, in
the Mitchell s. LYnde building last night.
occurred the death bed scene of the erst-
while Liberal Republican club Of Rock
Island. Binding flashes of lurid light
ming shot athwa-t the heavens, and
shone in at the window, lighting up the
room where a scene so painful that 1t de-
fies description. was enacted. Eight
stalwart men, whose sturdy frames were
bowed with the grief of sad Ce'pair. how
cred about table. and attempted to re-
suscitate the sinking infant, but it was
too late, aud as the hands Of the clock
pointed to $40. it passed to the great be-
yond. 1t was sad night for the Tip
pecsnoe tribe for the little one that they
had so lovingly cherished. had passed
away, and all that was left to do was to
get consolation from the cold world.
In the absence of the president, DR..
Eyster was called to the chair, and Old
Lady Conant walked in her sleep up to
the secretary's table. 1t was decided at
once without a word from any one 10
change the name Of the organization to
the Central League Republican club of
Rock Island, everybody seeming to
know without being told the reason why.
There came a halt in business, and 1t was
readily seen that the solemn few were
visiting to be surprised by some commit
tee fir IN outside. At last it care.
The shuffiing footsteps of Much-s-Talk
Sweeney were heard down the hall and
moment later he SUNK in on the assem-
bled warriors followed BY Never-Say- Die
Collins. They had come to arrange
truce between the ward republican clubs
and the central club and from the dis
cussion that followed it was this, that if
the ward clubs were to be subordinate to
the Central or Liberal idea they were not
in it, but if on the other hand the Central
was willing to be just common affair
like the other ones, then it was all right.
It was discussed in all its phases. but as
his lateness, Mr.. Wells. hadn't shown up
as per agreement, and the mourners OF the
late Liberal idea couldn't be brought to
axe their proper medicine at the hands
of the city committee, it was decided to
ad ourn until tomorrow night when 1t Is
hoped the pill will be sugar-coated, and
the club can be taken in along with the
rest

A Mournful Wall.

Listen to this moan from the Iron and
Steel Trades journal of London:
"Though the course of British trade in the
coming year is still shrouded with uncertainty,
we can, without fear of fallacy, predict period
of great prosperity in the great transatlantic
republic. The good things in store for the Amer.
leans in 1892 we do not begrudge them, although
we can not expect to participate to the full as
we did in bygone days in the prosperity Of the
states"
We would be glad to have our British
brethren share our prosperity If it could
be done without injury to ourselves.
We were prospecting in 1882 and ad.
mitted them to share our prosperity
ito the full" In very few years our
prosperity was no more till we put up
the tariff and kept them out of our mar.
kets. We became good natured again
in 1916 and once more lowered the pro-
tecting barriers We had plenty Of
leisure to repent our folly when we saw
the national treasury bankrupt, the
country dotted with soup houses
sheriffs' notices as frequent as show
bills, and government paper hawked in
the money centers of Europe at dis
graceful discounts in order to raist
money to pay the ordinary expenses o.
government. Now that the bars are
securely up again, is it any wonder tina
we turn deaf ear to John Bulls com
plants?

What Engllshmen think of Us Now.

The United States of America, under
the influence of the Mckinley tariff and
increased home production, can nc
longer be considered as important
buyers of steel and iron from this coun.
try, with the exception of tin plates,
and even this article is now taken in
reduced proportions.
1t was formerly an acknowledged
axiom that bad harvest in Grea,
Britain or on the continent, which in.
volved the purchase of large supplies
from the United States caused grea,
demand from there for our manufactures
of steel and iron-this rule has now,
however, entirely ceased to hold goo |.
The development of the mineral prop.
critics in the southern states of the
Union has during the last few years
been so phenomenal that they are now
fully able to make up any shortcomings
which formerly rendered it necessary
for the United States to ordey from this
country From Circular of Boiling 4

A MAN in Chicago who possessed q
solitary five-dollar bill and wanted tc
blow it in badly, hit upon a novel plan
the other day by which to save and
spend it both. The bill was given him
by friend, and he was determined
not to part with it. After lengthy
debate with himself he evolved the
brilliant scheme of pawning the note.
He paid visit to his uncle, raised
A.62 on the bill, and spent it according
to his tastes. When further funds came
in he redeemed the original note.
