POLITICAL.
Mckinley Wins In Illinois.

After stubborn contest, maintained
by the friends of Senator Cullom of
Illinois on the one side, and the cham
pions of "the apostle of protection on
the other, with the greatest spirit and
resolution, Mckinley carried the day
in the state convention of Illinois by a
majority of 329 in total vote of l 1886.
When the nomination of state officers
had been made, resolution was sub
mitted instructing the delegates-at-
large to be selected TO present to the
National Republican Convention the
name of Shelby M. Cullom as the
choice of Illinois for the presidency.
A motion was made to substitute the
name of William Mckinley for that of
Cullom. This amendment was adopted
by vote of S32 to SOB, and the in.
structions for Mckinley were then made
unanimous with great enthusiasm. The
platform declares for protection, reci-
procity, sound money and vigorous
foreign policy. The action of Illinois,
following upon that of Vermont, de-
cides in advance of its meeting the re-
suit of the balloting for candidate for
president at st. Louis. Mckinley is
clearly the coming man.

Bosses Working Openly.

There is ample reason for this popu-
lar distrust. The boss is the worst
enemy of popular government, for the
chief object of his labors is TO steal
away from the people their right to
govern themselves, He poisons popu-
lar government at its fouDtain-head, in
the primaries and nominating conven-
tions, by foisting bis tools into public
offices. Having got possession of the
offices, he uses them for barter and
sale, for extortion and blackmsil, taking
into his own hands all the functions of
government for his oyn enrichment
and that of his corrupt and corruptiug
machine. formerly our bosses carried
on their operations mainly in secret.
We knew who they were, and what
their business was, but they allowed US
to see very little of their methods.
Now they give their orders to their
tools in Office more or less openly, de-
clare through the press what their plans
and purposes are, and without conceal
ment summon their official servants to
come TO them for direction and counsel.
They declare openly what their plans
are In regard to presidential nomina-
tons, "pack " the state delegations to
national conventions in accordance with
those plans, and even offer themselves
as candidates. The greatness of their
success has turned their heads, and
they reason that a public which has
tolerated 80 much from them will re-

Do You Know Samantha ?

If you don't you ought to, and if YOU
do you will want to know her better.
Samantha has way of telling about
her doings and Josiah's which will keep
family or a whole neighborhood
laughing for days. A good many folks
went to the Worlds Fair, and a good
many who didn't go wish they had and
the few not included in these two
classes would like to read the most en-
tertaining book that has been written
about the fair. Well, Samantha wrote
it. She and Josiah went, and they
didn't miss anything worth seeing. To
read what she wrote is almost as good
as having gone, and, if you went, read
ing her book is almost as good as going
again. There are over 100 illustra-
tions, which are in keeping with the
style of the book. The value of the
work may be judged by the fact that
nearly 100000 copies have been sold
by agents at $3.50 each. Now the pub
fishers offer the book, printed from the
same plates, with the same illustrations,
but different binding, free, and sent
post-paid to every new subscriber to
the Neeo York Voice. If you want to
keep posted on every phase of the war
mon the saloons you should read the
Voice. While it is the leading prohi-
bition paper, it is much more than that.
We think it is not too much to say that
no one can keep fully informed and
abreast of the times on the great eco
nomic and social questions connected
with the saloons unless he reads the
Voice. 1t contains facts which many
other paners either do not get or sup
press. Take an illustration: A recent
number (Aprii 81 contains an article
illustrated by diagrams and containing
four tables taken from recent volume
issued by the census bureau. The title
of the article is Three Times as MANY
Criminals in Proportion to Population
in High License as in Prohibition
States" In it occur these words: "The
census also shows that the jails of pro-
hibition Vermont contain fewer pris-

Trials of a Teacher.

The school teacher is very poorly
paid for his wearysome work of
imparting wisdom to his pupils,
if many of his pupils are like the
one described in the following
dialogue, says the Texas Sftings.-
The boy found it difficult to under
stand simple arithmetic.
"Suppose, Fritz, you have stock
ing on one foot, and you put another
stocking on the other foot, how
many have you on both feet ?"
"I never had no stockings"
"Suppose your father has one pig
in pen, and he buys another pig
and puts it in the pen, how many
pigs will there be in the pen 2"
dad don't keep no pigs"
The teacher blew heavy sigh
from his tired lips, wiped the pres
piration from his scholastic brow,
and went at it again with renewed
courage.
"Suppose you have one jacket,
and at Christmas your father makes
you a present of another jacket {;
how many jackets Will you have
then 2"
He amt that kind of a father.
He never gives nOthin' on Christ
mas"
"Suppose your mother gives you
an apple, and you have one already :;
what will you have then 2"
"Stomach ache. Our apples are
cOokin' apples"
The teacher was not the man to be
discouraged by trifles. He began to
suspect that the boy was not we'll up
in arithmetic, but he resolved to
make one more effort, SO he said:
eff poor little beggar boy has
cake, and you gave him one more,
how many will he have?"
"l dunno. / eat my own cakes. I"
Then the teacher told the children
to go out and play.

POET R ".
LOVE ME, LOVE.

Best beloved, beyond your sight.
Where hills rise bleak and white,
One whose faint and wandering feet
Walk where light and shadow meet,
One whose true heart never knew
Any other love but you.
Murmurs on his deathbed lying,
Love me, Love, for L an dying.
Though the smiling angels wait,
Leaning from the shining gate,
Though their white hands reaching
down
Offer me life's fadeless crown,
l would yield it, even now
For your kiss upon my brow.
Brush me not with cold denying,
Love me, Loye, for l am dying!
Many league Of hill and plain
Stretches wide between us twain,
Traversed only by my thought,
Out OF love and anguish wrought:
I ct my voice shall tremble through
Songs once sung by me and you,
Like an echo low replying,
Love me, Love, for | am dying,
Though sweet voices call me DER
Softly to the other shore,
Where all sorrowing hearts find peace,
And their weary achingS cease,
Still, my soul, which never knew
Any heaven away from you,
VIII not cease it's anguish, crying,
Love me, Love, for l am dying!
