Honorable Horace Chiffon in his
speech at Georgetown demonstrated
his ability to grasp the current
questions of the day with the hand
of a master and to analyze them
with the mind of patriot. The
senatorial toga which Coke has so
long worn with honor and which he
today wears in its unstalned purity,
will be safe on Cations shoulders
He is of the people, and in all the
future struggles the power of his
intellect will help fight their battles.
They will send him TO the senate.

The Day.Globe wants strong
government and defines it's idea of a
strong government as s. government
which is able to ''force the cormo-
rant the commune to obey the law. "
The strength OF a republic lies in
the loyalty of the people, and the
government is just as strong as that
loyalty results in enlisting the com.
bined power of the people, and
thare is no way to make a republl'
can government any stronger. Rus
STA is strong government. Does
the Day-Globe want car?

crescent of sloughs from Sixth street to
Eleventh., lined with lumber. Lesure's
mill and yard and such of the Standard
Lumber company's yard as was in the
path of the flames went first. Then the
Dubuque Top Buggy ccmpany's vacant
frame factory went and when the
Knapp-Stout company's yards became d
mass of flames, kilograms for assistance
were sent to Freeport, Galena, Clinton
and other towns. The Knapp Stout COM
pany's yards ended at the paper mill,
separated from the yard by pond on the
south, and from Carr, Ryder & Enger's
yard by street on the north. The pond
and the mill, which later proved fire
wall, prevented the flames from spreading
further north. The Leisure company
loses $4,000 on the mill, which employed
225 men, and $4,000 on the yard. In
surarce, 100000; some in non-beard CON-
panies. The Knapp-Stout company's loss
is $225,0OO; insurance, $1S5,0OO; all in
board companies The Standard Lumber
company's loss is $75,OOO; fully insured.
