30 long that it has become self
evident truth and after 80 years OF
republican legislation and manage
ment in Illinois in behalf of corpor-
ate power and Of wealth it is refresh
ing to note the rulings and manage
ment Of the present democratic state
administration in behalf of the PEG.
pie.
The state live stock commission
has Just made its annual report and
from 1t we gather the information
that during the past year it has been
doing q work for the farmers and
live stock shippers that should be
appreciated in every county in the
state. This live stock commission
was established by law in 1885 and
since that ycaT it has been looking
after lumpy Jaw cattle in the Union
stock yards in Chicago and the Ma
tional stock yards at East ST. Louis,
the law making it their duty to pre-
vent the slaughter and sale OF such
diseased cattle for human food. But
until the present state administra-
ton took hold OF affairs this law
and this regulation was a farce
and fraud. In no year prior to
1894 did the number of lumpy
Jaw cattle arrested in the yards ex-
coed $500, but as soon as the demo-
Gratis took hold the number began to
increase. going up to 4,0si in 1894
and to S,i00 in 1895. when the new
system got fairly into operation.
The fact is that before 1898 the in
spection was n perfect fraud. As
soon as Gov. Altgeld found it was a
fraud he took the matter in hand
and. going before the Chicago live
stock exchange. secured their help in
enforcing the law. Up to this time
there were rs many lumpy jawed
cattle shipped isto Chicago as there
are now, probably more, as the live
stock business was heavier prior to
the panic Of 1898 than it has been
since. The figures bring out the fac,
that fully two-thirds OF the number
OF cattle held up in 1895, $500 found
their way to the market contrary to
law and at n great loss to the ship
per. Lumpy jaw buyers at that time
secured the yards daily and finding a
lumpy Jaw steer would tell the own.
er that If il was allowed to go into
the yards and on sale the
state would confiscate and kill
it and be would get nothing for
it. They would then offer him s. or
80 for the animal and the fright
ensd shipper would readily par,
with it. the purchasers taking the
animal to some convenient market
and selling it for its full price. Now
all suspicious animals are stopped in
the yards and il an examination
proves them to be tit for food the
owners are allowed to sell them, OBJ
tanning the full price for them. The
fraudulent lumpy-jaw dealer is
driven from the field. He is no
longer found in the stock yards. The
com mission estimated the saving by
the new and honest system of inspec-
ton to be $4,000 annually to the
stockmen. though it is in all proba-
bility much more. A big robbery OF
the farmers has been stopped. The
farmers really get so little fair play
that they should appreciate this &C,
OF justice to them. Give the state
democratic administration another
big credit mark.

FOLLOWING Mondays meeting Of
the republican county committee
two representative members Of the
party feel constrained to speak of
themselves. They are none other
than Sister Payne and George W.
Gamble. who desire to keep their
present respective Offices, and both
are heard through this mornings
Union. Payne is getting so cussedly
suspicious OF everybody-but Col
hns-tha, he thought he had better
take time by the forelock and wade
in-and he's in. Now for Gamble,
he. too. is taking somewhat pre-
mature step to head of his deputy.
"Boney" johnson. who. having for
eight years served as deputy, thinks
now he Is entitled TO the Office. and
"boney is a politician. Wholly up
mindful of the fact that he unscs,ed
hts chief after one term a. deputy.
Gamble does not like this disposition
little bit and so he is gu, ahead Of
his deputy for the nomination.
