Carter III. Harrison.

Not since the assassination of Presl-
dent Garfield has there been such an
excitement throughout the country,
as was occasioned by the news of the
killing of Carter III. Harrison, mayor
of Chicago, at his home last Saturday
evening. The murderer is named
Prendergast, and he assigns as a rea-
son for his dastardly act, that the
mayor had failed to appoint him to
something which had been promised
him. The murdersr's actions, both
before and after the deed, were such
as to show that he was perfectly
rational, knew what he was about,
and followed out his matured plans
with methodical precision. He should
be dealt with accordingly, and justice
should be melted out to him in the
shortestEpossible time, that his fate
may be a warning to others similarly
inclined, who fancy they make heroes
of themselves by doing something out
of the ordinary. Mr.. Harrison vas
one of the best known of Chicago's
citizens, having been in public life a
long time. He had served about six
months of his fifth term as mayor,
and had given general satisfaction,
though his administration was not in
all respects just what it should have
been. However, in this Worlds fair
year, with the great influx of strang-
ers from all parts of the world, with
such diverse views, perhaps no one
could have discharged the duties of
his office more acceptably.

An Independent Judiciary,

The fight for an independent and
fearless judiciary is not confined to
any one state. In Illinois it takes
the form of a popular uprising in IA
vor of the reelection of Judge Gary,
who has been unnecessarily antagon-
lied by Governor Altgeld because
he sentenced the anarchists recently
pardoned by the governor. In New
York it is revolt of the respectable
element against the dictation of the
bosses, who want to reward Judge
Maynard for helping them steal the
last New York legislatures In Nebras-
Ia it is Interpolation ofrailroadism
and boodlerism in public Office. An
independent judiciary is Unnecessary
bulwark Of free government.-Oma

ICWa's German Republicans.

There is no class of foreign-born
citizens who have done more to de-
velop Iowa than the Germans. Their
natural home has been in the Repub-
lican party. They firmly believe
in the principles of protection, in
honest money, and all the great
cardinal doctrines of Republicanism.
They have been estranged from the
party because of its attitude on some
questions of local significance. This
year the indications are that large
numbers OF these thrifty, thoughtful
people will return to their first love,
and be as they once were-one Of the
great elements of the Republican
party's power and glory.-Cedar Ra-

1T is curious coincidence that the
Democratic party occupies upon it's
return to power very much the same
critical position before the country
as it occupied when it went out with
James Buchanan. It is confronted by
an issue vital to the nation and to it's
own existence. And it is prepared to
meet it IN the same way it met the is
sue of 1860. It is split into three
factions, each at war with the other
two, just as it was when it came out
of the Charleston convention and con-
tinued to be until national calamity
followed it's indecision and bicker-
ing. AS q minority it has proven it.

THE following from the Democratic
New York Sun, does not sound like
the utterances of Democratic papers
that last fall declared that tin was
not being manufactured in the United
States:
The Welsh tin platers are much
concerned at the prospect of their per-
manent exclusion from the United
States market, owing to the admitted
probability that the Americans will
themselves be making as much tin
plate as they require before the pre-
sent tariff can possibly be abolished
or modified. The Welshmen are en-
couraged by explorer Stanley to hope
that in few years the further open
ing of South Africa will give them q
new and profitable market but they
do not appear to derive much COM
fort from the hazy and distant pros
Dect.

The Republicans are putting up a
pretty stiff bluff in New York, but the
Democrats hold the winning cards
and they know it.-Jef;erson Banner.
This means that Tammany will be
prepared with fictitious returns to
render whatever number of votes will
be required to pull the Democratic
ticket through. winning cards"
are nice to hold, but they should be
obtained honestly. The votes of New
York honestly cast and honestly
counted would insure the Empire
state to the Republicans, and every
fair minded Democrat knows it.

In making the tour of Chinatown in

which he would charge only fifty cents
The thumb nail on the doctors left
hand is about two inches in length, but
the nails on the two outer fingers are
six inches in length, each. The doctor
permitted me to measure his champion
finger nails in the interest of curiosity.

like hanging feathers, and arc not so

about an inch from the finger tho nail is

prevent them from being broken, and
