TUESDAY
A F~nRlEITnRR CARE.

Sometime ago, rs some OF our readers
may remember, a forfeiture was taken in
the bond Of state VS.. William II. Vernon,
bond being 5000.
At the time of the trial, defendant did
not appear, and the court decided the
bond forfeited. Now we notice an action
on the part Of the attorney for the bonds
men to set aside the forfeiture. The at
torney has appeared before tho governor
and a petition, we understand, has boon
brought before the executive urging that
the forfeiture be set aside.
To this petition, so we have heard,
many prominent names have been affixed.
But, however, mon sometimes sign petI-
lions without an inquiry or thought as to
the business OF q petition, actuated only
by tho desire to do kindness to the person
or persons in whose interests the petition
10 circulated.
But q glance at the case shows chat the
defendant, Vernon, was recklsssly shoot.
ing his pistol in the streets Of Wellington,
and shot a little girl, the daughter OF q
coal miner, as she was standing in her
yard. II the law had not taken the mat.
ter up. Vernon would have, 1t Is thought,
been lynohed by the infuriated miners OF
the place. Now that the defendant has
escaped, It seems - an impartial observer,
the bond, at least, should be forfeited.
It is disheartenIng to an official to have
matters trified with this way. Let the
L. - rl.~-~- A.
line, let the chips fall how they WILL"
The prosecuting attorney has laid the
couuty's presentation of the case before
the Governor, and explained the issue In
discussion.

HAWAI-.

Trouble Is brewing out 10 the broad
Pacific. The people Of the island Of
Hawaii have revolted, deposed their
obese and greasy queen, and have organ
lied q republic. They know that this
form of government a not be easily
maintained with the island infested
with spies from the moIarchies Of
Europe, and have appointed a commls|
sIoner to visit Washington City and
propose a treaty by which the entire
island Of Hawaii will become a part Of
the United States.
1t Is not certain that we need any
more islands just yet, but if, as seems to
be the case. Hawaii must either belong
to this country or Great Britain or some
other trespassing, grasping foreign
power, then the policy of the govern.
ment at Washington Is plain.
Hawaii must be annexed.
We cannot afford 70 permit 1t to fall
into the hands of either of the great
European powers to block our pathway
across the sea, and be q standing menace
to our supremacy on the Pacific ocean.
It is only 2,100 miles from San Fran
cisco, and held by either France, Ger
many or Great Britain, would, In case
Of war with either OF these, become a
dangerous base of operations against
our western frontiers.
Manifest destiny would say annex
Hawaii. If any small bow-legged tyrant
In Europe kicks, shoot him on the foot

LANES q. BLAINE.

James G.. Blaine is dead, and soon his
flesh will mingle with the earth and be
known 10 more.
Blaine is dead, but his memory will
ever be kept green by his admiring
countrymen, for despite the bitterness
OF partisan hate, the rancor of jealous
rivals, there was that about him that
magnetized the people, that drew all
unfo him and made him great.
Elaine vas above everything else
Intensely an American, and we honor
him for it. He was one unto whom the
glamour Of royalty had no charm, one
who never bowed the pregnant knee to
titled bigots, one who never looked
across the deep blue ocean and wished
America was less American and more
English, more French or more German.
mol james G.. Blaine was above all
things American and democrat. He
believed In his country. believed in her
institutions, had faith In her constitu-
ton and gloried in her destiny.
The fact that Blaine did not achieve
the acme OF his ambition, to be the chief
executive of this republic he loved so
well and which has become more re-
~splendent because Of his life and SER
vices; because he never was president
is no blemish to the splendor Of his
achievements, no reproach to his name.
For that name, like those Of Webster,
Clay and Lincoln, will for generations
70 come add luster to the country's his
tory and be carved deep in the granite of
the nations esteem and v~eneration.

SHE READ THE RIOT ACT.
Observations by II Chicago Woman In
New York Elevated Car.

Observations by n Chicago Woman In 10
New York Elevated Car.
There IRE some things that astound
and startle a New Yorker. One of these
is the exhibition on the part of anybody
of any degree of affection for Chicago.
\ day or two ago I met II handsome
young married lady on the Sixth avenue
elevated. She had always lived in the
west, where | had known her several
years ago, and we naturally discussed
her recent change of base. She sat in
one of the cross seats in he middle of
the car, and / stood, with others, in the
aisle,
81 like Chicago much betterthan New
York" she began.
The two men reading stock reports in
the seat facing her glanced at her sharp
ly over their glasses. The old man
next to her hitched up his Goa nervous
ly and looked sorry for her.
1T may be that New York will i'm
prove on acquaintance" she went on
mischievously, seeing the sensation she
made. I've only been here two
months and if it wasn't for my hus-
bands business I'd go right back to
Chicago. It's awfully slow here"
I considerably intimated that she'd
find things fast enough in New York
when she got acquainted-that the
complaint was not a general one-that,
in short. New York was a real nice sort
of a town when you got used to it.
But ] like the western people bet
ter she said. The old man next to
her looked put of the window and
groaned audibly, while the other ap-
parently regarded her in the light of a
curiosity. Western people," she con-
tinued, ARE not SO formal and mean
what they say and don't say SO much"
/ thought the old man had beer taken
with craInps-he looked so miserable.
Chicago is the city for shopping. 1
can't find anything here, and I go miles
and miles! They have such lovely
stores in Chicago. This is such a dirty
place." said she, shaking out her seal
skin sacque. and"
The old man couldn't stand 1t any
longer. He got right up and after look
ing at mi as if he would like to lick
somebody bolted for the Thirty-third
street platform. The whole carload
nov craned necks to see the handsome
Chicago lady who objected to New York
because it was dirty.
And there are sc many foreigners"
she went on. Everybody here seems
to copy the English. detest such peo-
pie. Why can't they be satisfied with
their own country?"
The two gentlemen opposite, intense
ly English, skunk diligently behind
their papers. A broad smile went
'round-and it was not one of derision,
either. Fortunately the guard called
'Twenty-fifth street" at this moment
and the handsome young Chicago girl
moved toward the door with an air of
conscious superiority, leaving US to
breathe freely once more Pittsburgh

A SAD

Miss Nancy Austin, of Oak Grove, has
been badly paralyzed for about two years,
30 that 1t was with great difficulty that
she could move.
One day last week while all the family
were away save Mrs. Charlie Duncan and
"Grandma" Austin, and Aunt Nancy las
she was called) was in an adjoining room,
her clothes caught fire. Before she
was discovered the flames extinguished
more than half of her body was burned
in a frightful manner.
Medical aid was called but without
avail. After lingering until the follow
ing day she expired, never rallying from
the severe shock. She was a member of
the Baptist church, and a native of Boone
county. Many friends are left to mourn
her loss.
1t was a most unfortunate occurrence,
one Of the saddest things we nave had to
chronicle for sometime.

THOs. \. RAvARD.

While Mr.. Bayard, OF Delaware, Is
one Of the most accomplished and state
Iy pieces of political antiquity in the
country, he is not the proper man for
Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary Of State.
II we recognize the fact that this is
the last decade OF the nineteenth GEN.
tury, and that Mr.. Cleyeland's incoming
administration will bring us on the
verge of the twentieth, the proposition
should suggest itself that the new cab
met ought to be made up of nineteenth
century
There ara times when men who have
permitted the world to get ahead Of
them should be retired and left there.
Such a man Is Thos. F. Bayard. As
Mr.. Cleyeland's premier, he showed
himself to be entirely too stately, too
grand. too antique-too much In fact
like 6 piece Of parlor furniture Of the
age OF Queen Elizabeth-solemn to
behold, statuesque as an Egyptian mon
olith, as unsympathetic as q castiron
uOB bh0huAhB nOhhO hhuiiOudlNc y iIOuJ
door.
Then Mr.. Bayard got spoilt. He Wis
tied Europe. Having never been
a democrat, ard always an arlstocrat he
very readily fell into the ways Of roy
atty, and felt for the first time the con
geniality of his own blood with that of
titled ar~istocracy. OF French descent
he never lost sight Of the fact that in
his veins flowed the blood of the Chey-
alier, and finding French a~ristocracy
to be practically extinct he very readily
assimilated with that OF Great Britain,
and came home as near thoroughly
English as any foreigner possibly could.
This was not snobbery; 1t was the
triumph of affinity. And there's the
trouble. We want an American Of the
most pronounced, most intense type to
help rule over the destinies of this
country; for n who is not such is not
a true and loyal democrat.

FATLURF.

Thursday afternoon u community
was painfully shocked by the announce
ment that the well known dry goods
firm of NJ. L, Royle 81 Son had made an
assignment; and had turned their bust
ness over to the hands OF their creditors.
This firm was not only extensively
known, but was justly popular. The
senior member of the firm has been in
business here even since 1857, when he
established the house that has so long
borne his name.
Mr.. Royle like many others has had
many difficulties to contend with, and
has ice or twice been compelled to
compromise with his creditors, but
never with dishonor.
In 1882 the firm was changed to NJ. f.
Royle & Son and has since borne that
name.
The trade s~tagnation that has become
general all over the country by aus Of
the criminal folly of endeavoring to
make money scarce and dear so as TO
enrich the creditor-income class and
impoverish those who are so unfortu-
nate as to be their debtors. has seriously
affected TIP Royles, and despite their
ablest effSFtsto keep their heads above
water, they have been at last compelled
to go under.
This failure did not come about by
the neglect of business methods. There
was no lack of industry or enterprise.
The stock vas a good one, and so highly
were the proprietors esteemed that their
word was never questioned. The patrons
knew that things were always as repre-
sented. To scarcity Of money, resulting
from legislation and a financial policy
that inures only to the welfare of the
wealthy income classes, must this fail
ure, as thousands of others like it, be
attributed.
