Elsewhere appears a communion
ton from Supervisor Martin Schoon-
maker. Of Reynolds, explaining the
disposition of the county bonds and
the advantages the county has sus-
tanned by the sale. Perhaps, how
ever. no stronger commentator could
be given the transaction than that
which appeared in the Union of March
2. following the sale, at which time
the morning paper said:
ssMuch comment has been excited
in financial circles generally by the
advantageous sale of Rock Island
county bonds, and inquiries have
been freely made as to how it was
accomplished and who is to be cred
tied with suggesting the plan which
was 50 successful and placed our
county so high on the plane OF credit.
The chairman of the bond committee
OF the board Of supervisors is Msrtin
Schoonmaker. q banker of Reynolds.
who gained his knowledge of the
laws and methods of finance
from the late Judge Cornelius
Lynde, whose reputation as a
master in this field stands second to
NO man in the northwest. He first
outlined the scheme of short time
bonds, maturing as revenue came in
to pay them, and bearing per cent
interest. He had letters sent to ali
bond-buying houses in the United
States inviting bids for these bonds
to be disposed of at open sale on the
25th of February. The sale brought
Representatives here from IL houses,
and at 8 p. m. in the southwestern
room of the court house, the sale was
opened, Mr.. Schoonmaker himself
acting IS crier. The bonds, after a
spirited competition, were sold to
n. w. Harris & Co., of Chicago.
whose bid was $3.50 above par for
1925. 900 of bonds-$12. 900 payable
1898. els. 900 in 1899, and so on al
ternately until all are paid. This
premium raises the court house fund
to t1Sl. $50. in effect very materially
reducing the interest.
..Mr. Schoonmaker has not ooly
done . good thing for the county. but
has made the financial world realize
that high ability in finance is by no
means confined to the larger cities Of
the country"

Mr.. Garland, once attorney general
of the United States, has come out of
the obseurity to which he was relega-
ted by the Pan-Electric scandal, TO
voice his views as to the drift of poll
tice. He says ''the outlook is not at
all encouraging to the Democrats in
any Of the.silver states, and although
the convention in Kentucky compli-
mented Secretary Carlisle by refusing
to adopt a free silver platform / will
wager five TO one that the Republicans
carry that state at the coming cleo
ton" Mr.. Garland is probably a
true prophet in this prediction.

That erratic and more or less ridic-
ulous individual, Senator PETER, says
that a e political party must be
formed, because there is new work to
be done which the existing parties are
not fit to do. Such talk has been
heard at frequent intervals ever since
parties were invented. Somebody
with a hobby is always wanting to
organize q party: and numerous
experiments of that kind have been
tried, with results that can not be said
to justify the theory of a necessity for
more agencies of that sort. To cite a
single example, but q very significant
one, MI. PETER himself aided in form
ing a new party some years ago. by
which he was elevated to a position of
great dignity and Importance; and
now, before the expiration of his term,
he is insisting that the only way to
save the country is to introduce still
another, party, with the motto "Let
the people rule" He practically con-
fesses that the Populists have ceased
to be a definite and potent force, and
can not be expected to solve the prob
lens of the period. Their party has
simply repeated the history of many
similar organizations, and is now
ready to be placed in the list of polit-
ical "reminiscences. A new party is
proposed in spite of the well-known
fact that this one, like previous ones
of corresponding ~pretensions, has
turned out to be a disappointment and
a mockery, for the reason that it was
not needed and had nothing to live
upon but a transient wave of a popu-
lar discomfort.
The truth is that political parties
which count for anything are not in
SEPARATIONS. but evolutions. They as
sumo shape and acquire strength in a
gradual way, and on account of sub
stantial and practical considerations.
A force of that kind is not to be
evoked in the form Of a sudden mira
Gle by an accidental and irresponsible
PETER. 1t comes only by degrees,
under pressure of circumstances, and
because certain irresistible influences
must be thus represented. The emer-
gency must be such as involves funda-
mental principles and purposes. and
not merely the whim-whams of q few
cranks or adverturers. 1t is a we'll
thing, furthermore. that there
is no room in our politics for more
than two distinct and effective parties
at the same time. Third parties are
nothing but makeshifts and ~pretenses.
They are not sin it" as we may say,
so far as the matter of settling vital
questions is concerned. The votes
that they draw from the two regular
are merely SO many ballots
tossed to the winds. One or the other
Of the two organizations which include
their aggregate membership a
Iarge majority of the people is sure
20 succeed: and the third party has
nothing to show for its expenditure of |
lime and energy that is worth consid-
,ring. This has been illustrated so
,ften and so d~ecisively that there is
10 excuse for any sane man to talk
about forming a new party in the
condition of affairs.-Globe-
