"ABovE all other purposes" urges
MIR. Gladstone in Il message to the
liberals of London, .vindicate the
rights of the house of commons as
the organ Of the nation. and estab-
lish the honor Of England as well
as consolidate the strength of the
empire by conceding the just con-
stitutiOaal claim of Ireland" The
issues on which the liberals should
wage the campaign are here briefly
outlined. With curtailment of the
veto power of the lords and Irish
home rule for its object and battle
cry, the liberal party can win.

SOME of the Moline papers are
having Mysteries because Rock Island
com planned of having its equalized
valuation increased by the county
board. The act was an outrage on
the part of the county board and was
not unsuitable in any sense, as the
board knew. As to Moline-well. no
matter; that is not what we are talk

MARRIAGES seem to be going out OF
fashion in Berlin. The statistics for
1894 show that the number Of we'd

1890 TO 1G, 955 in 1898 and 1890 in
1891. And this despite the increase
in population of about $4,000. No
