bondale is the geographical
center. And the portrait it
drew of that section of the
great Sucker State, tallies
exactly with popular opinion.
Southern Illinois has been
known for generations as
Egypt not because its
soil is fecund as the Nilus
valley, or nurtures a crop Of
Josephs, but because its dense
ignorance was thought to re-
semble the "thick darkness"
which Moses laid upon "the
land of Mizriam'- because Of
popular superstition that
when the plaques were lifted
from ancient Egypt they
were transferred 20 the Her
AIDS territory, where, for
four and thirty centuries they
have faithfully observed the
Biblical law to be fruitful
and multiply. The people
of North and Central Illinois

LUCAS FOR U. S. SENATOR.
BUFFALO GAP. SD. Oct. 81, 1896.

EDITOR START have some neigh
bors who like myself are warm friends
of Capt. Lucas and who are inclined to
vote for free silver. Yet they say that
if Capt. Lucas is going to be candi-
date for U. S. senator they will support
the republican ticket, for they think
he honestly and ably represented this
state in congress and will do so in the
senate, and that he will do what is best
for the common people in this money
question. Is he going to be Il candi-
date? If he is you can bank on the re-
publican ticket getting bigger major
ity than it will if he is not a candidate.
l think it would be a good thing for
you to say something about this in
your paper if he is to be a candidate.
SILVER REPUBLICAN.
In reply to our friend, "Silver Re-
publican" the STAR has no authority
to announce that Capt. Lucas will be a
candidate for U. S. senator-and he is
away from home at this time making
strong campaign speeches for protec-
ton. reciprocity, sound money and
prosperity. In fact Capt. Lucas is
more interested i'll the success of re-
publicanism than in his own political
advancement. and always has been
was Immediately after his defeat for
congress two years ago. Concerning
his candidacy for U. S. senator. we are
of the opinion that he may be candi-
date in the event the legislature is re-
publican which it will undoubtedly be.
Hot Springs and Fall River county. as
we'll as our neighboring county of Gus
ter. are certainly interested in having a
representative in congress especially
since the location of Il sanitarium at
this place is pending i'll congress. and
our next senator should be Il veteran
of the war. Besides. this part of the
state needs representation in the U.
S. senate Wethinls our correspondent
should urge his neighbors to support
the republican ticket. aud thereby en-
courage ''Old Shady" to become can
didate for senator.

President Hancher occupied the M.
E. pulpit Sunday evening and preached
IL strong sermon in favor of sustaining
the present prohibitory amendment
and boldly denounced the methods
being used to obtain its repeal. lie de-
plored the disregard of officials to do
their sworn duty in enforcing this law
the same as they do Others. 1t was
such a temperance and law enforce
ment lecture aseverybody knows Presi-
dent Hancher is capable of giving. and
while it may not have the effect of Sc
curing the enforcement of the present
law. it will doubtless be beneficial in
arousing some toward doing their share
in maintaining the constitutional
amendment and thus not sanction the
saloon by law.

While Tom Watson's throat is sore

seem to hold their vigor. He says:
The middle OF the road popniists all
over the union have my sympathy and
admiration: they have been sold out
and their party made a door mat for
democratic politicians to wipe their
feet on underthe hypocritical pretense
of patriotism. The fusionists have
abandoned principle and gone into Il
mad scramble for the pie counter"
There are some ''pie counter" candi-
dates on the demopop ticket in this
county who didn't know until pretty
late in the day whether they would run
on the republican or some other ticket
they wanted to be on the republican
ticket if they could, but since they
couldn't they accepted the next best

Having time and time again chal-
lenged anybody to offer single argu-
ment in favor of the free coinage of sill
YER which it could not overthrow, and
having found nobody willing to risk
the test, the Press will now expand it's
challenge.
The Press dares anybody to offer an
argument of any sort or kind in favor
of the election of Bryan which will
withstand investigation, whether that
argument be along free coinage lines
or any other.
If anybody proposes to vote for Bryan
whether there isany argument i'll favor
of his candidacy or not, that will have
to be left to the voter himself-but he
will have to trample upon history and
reason in order to do it.-Sioux Falls

\ special telegram from Yankton to
the Sioux City Journal says: ''The
political contest in this state is now
centered i'll the legislature. The re-
publicans have, on the present esti-
mate, good working majority. but
there are combinations at work by the
opposition underthe direction of Sena-
tor Pettigrew that the leaders will
watch closely. 1t has been his boast
that he would capture the legislature
if he lost all else, and it is only recently
that the republicans have given any
especial attention to this most impor-
tant matter" Every republican should
be alert and see that the popocrats do
not succeed in their trading scheme.
They are working it here for all they
are worth. They realize that their
state ticket and their county ticket is
hopelessly lost and they therefore are
making final and desperate struggle
to capture the legislature. Fall River
county can't afford to lend aid toward
making legislature such as the one
that elected Senator Kyle.

The Herald last week contained ii
copy of Il tterpurportingt to have been
written by the Central Stove company,
of Newark, Ohio, Offering his employees
an advance of 10 per cent in their
wages in case Bryan is elected. That
is one style of coercion. But the very
next item following that letter written
by the corporation referred to the
Herald says that "every trust, every
railroad, every monopoly, every cor
poration,e every ybondholdcrevery holder
of gold is supporting Mckinley" which
is directly contradictory to the first
item referred to.

It's pretty hard to keep track of the

PROSPERITY AND DISTRESS.

The history of our own country is
sufficient to convince most men that
these panics have come and gone ac-
cording to legislation upon the tariff
question, even though Mr.. Bryan flip

organization of the government this
question of protection and free trade
has been bone of contention, though
protection has gradually grown into
general favor, until the opposition po-
