HENDERSON county has only two
delegates to the congressional con-
vcntion OF the Eleventh district.
They have been named, and both are
personal friends Of Truman Plantz
and likely to vote for him. They are
instructed for nobody. Henderson
is so small that she can hardly hope
for anything unless she can develop
a statesman Of awc-inspiring calibcr
There is hardly a possible combina-
ton by which the two votes OF Hen
derson can decide the result. II
there were, they would gladly do it
for anybody, but Plantz is the first
choice and McDannold second.

THE Chicago papers are having n
good deal to say about Hon Ben T.
Cable and the probable effect of his
candidacy for United States senator
on Illinois politics. and the Inter-
Ocean of today. while recognizing
his influence ia the politics of the
state. accuses him of various offenses
politically. which evidently are not
to the Oceans liking, strange to say,
Notwithstanding that they concern
only the democracy of the state. Mr.
Cable is for the best interests Of the
democratic party whatever may re-
suit, and whether his own interests
are affected or not, and that is what
is hurting our esteemed Chicago con-
temporary.

GOVERNOR HoGG, OF Texas, will
probably be the star orator at Tam
many hall on the Fourth of July. He
will tell the Tammany braves how he
has exterminated the trusts that
were fast getting the upper hand in
Texas when he was first elected gov
ernor. 1t is now a penitentiary Of
Tense in that state to form n pool Of
any kind. and under Governor Hogg's
administration it is said that the law
has been strictly enforced. Nothing
would suit 'Jim" Hogg better than
to be able to get twist on the tail
OF the sugar trust.

THE question of indorsing Presi.
dent Cleveland In the coming state
convention Is one that there does not
seem To be any occasion for discuss
ing. President Cleveland is the same
that he has always been on the great
issues before the people. lie stands
on the platform on which he STOOD in
1883 and in 1892. lie is not n man
who changes because people disagree
with him. lie is man of positive
conviction, and il the great party
throughout the country found him
worthy Of it's support, confidence and
Endorsement ia the last two CAM
paigns, he is worthy of tho irdorsc-
mont Of the democracy of Illinois
now. The democrats should above
NIL things stand together. Unison is
essential to strength. Difference Of
opinion should be buried. There is
no occasion for deviation from time
honorcd usages. one Of which is the
Endorsement Of the administration.
Let there be no departure from those
customs which have prevailed
throughout ell the pariy's history in
the past.

strikers, and our hardware merchants
could have sold a hundred Winchesters
II they had had them. Very few English

Those that are there are compelled by
the foreigners to stay. as their lives are
threatened if they attempt to leave. The

are much arlarmed at the present critical
situation and held a joint mass meeting
to take some action in regard to bringing
in guards and undesirable men.
Claim to Have Plenty Of Bombs.
The Italians claim that they have
Frencbman among them who is an adept
at making bombs, and that they have
plenty Of good ones made. The bumpers
have been compelled to leave the pumps
and the mines are rapidly flooding with
water. John Snyder, mine superintend-
ent at Walston. has been compelled to
leave and is staying in town. He has re.
rigned his position and left for his farm
IN Ohio. The sheriff has made a demand
on the governor for troops and n company
OF militia arrived this morning. Two
more regiments will arrive today. The
foreigners understand that the troops are
coming and the railroads and highways
leading from this place into Walston are
swarming with hordes of Italians and
Hungarians wrought up to the highest
pitch of excitement. The greatest fear
now is tina: there will be an attack upon
the English speaking miners and their
families.

They have been driven from their houses.
and in the darkness fathers and husbands
have been separated from their wives and
children, and the women and children are
running around crying and calling aloud
for protection. Word has Just come to
town that the more daring of the foreign
ers want to come to this place and search
for the missing English-speaking men,
and shonld they come it is feared that
there will be bad work done Our citizens
nre greatly excited, and the more timid
arc ia terror lest an awful riot take place,

strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, toge Their with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from which. accord
ing TO their universal conclusion, there is no
relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues its insidious progress until
il reaches vital point and the sufferer dies.

may seem, but a few days had passed before

indication of its return. 1 now feel as
