A great many men throughout the
country, including plenty of really swell
fellows, have got it into their heads,
rightly or wrongly-and we are by no
sure that it isn't rightly-that
there is no reason why any man should
pay more than s 800 to 5 800 for apair OF
shos,s, and to say the least, the idea has
this foundation in reason, that excellent
shoes are now made for $500. To pay
SO. 90 to $l2. 90 for a pair of shoes is SIM
ply throwing away money, and in many
cases this is done to 0gratify a mistaken
notion that none but your favorite shoe
maker is worthy to adorn your feet.
The recent improvements in shoe ma
chinery make it possible, as shown by
the well known w. l.. Douglas $500
Shoe, to produce a shoe to-day that
will compare favorably in style, wearing
qualities and comfort with those offered
at $500, $500 and $1,000 per pair. See
the advertisement of the w. l.. Douglas
shoes which appears elsewhere in this
issue.

II the revenues OF the govern

remedy ever suggested is TO in
crease the taxes. The idea of re-

overhauled, and useless Offices
abolished, and in this way millions
could be saved to the oberburdened
taxpayers. But the thing seems to

A TIMELY INQUIRY.

Referring to Governor Altgeld's
financial embarrassments and his
frank admission of them, the Wash
fington Post says:
Ex-Governor Altgeld has been
compelled to sacrifice valuable
property in order to meet his obi
cations, and he has done this. in a
manly fashion. Is it not about
time for Altgeld's enemies to sub
stantiate some of their insinua-
tions?"
One of the most disgraceful feat
ures Of the national campaign last
year was the wanton SANDER with
which the advocates Of gold pursued
Governor Altgeld. His ability as a
leader of men, and the high stand
ard of morality and personal integ.
rity which had always characterized
his labors, not only in his public but
in his personal capacity, were disre-
garded by those who had no argu-
ments or history on their side, but
who depended wholly upon false
and detraction as weapons.
Governor Altgeld's prominence
and the candor with which he pro-
claimed his principles made him
the especial mark for ~insolence and
vituperation. Although as Cover
nor of Illinois he had instituted re-
forms which saved the state hum
|dreds of thousands of dollars, and
rescued the taxpayers from the
waste and extravaganza that was
destroying them, he was denounced
rs an anarchist and a foe to society.
Not only his official acts, but his
private affairs, were paraded before
1.-THE public with a shameless disre-
lIgard Of the decencies Of life and his
, methods were called in question by
s|impudent pretenders to virtue who
4 were not worthy to unloose his
shoes. A man Of less courage and
'|conviction would have been unable
Ito withstand the shafts of malice
THAT we're hurled at him, but not
withstanding his frail health and
sensitive nature he persued the
'|course which he had marked out, in
1.-THE consciousness that some day
those who reviled him would find
their true level.
No man in the country was more
defective than Governor Altgeld in
bringingtogether the elements which
followed the flag of Bryan into one
Organization, and although it was
temporarily defeated through the
influences of money, intimidation,
fraud and all kinds Of corruption, he
is sustained by conscious rectitude,
as well al by assurances that the
great political power which he did
80 much to organize is still strong
and defiant, only awaiting the vim
dication which it will surely receive
at the hands Of the people in the
national contests of next year and
1900.
The Post is not an advocate Of
free silver coinage, but in its inquiry
as it not about time for Altgeld's
enemies to substantiate some Of
their insinuations?" it displays a
spirit Of civilized regard for truth
and decency which many other con-
temporaneos newspapers might
emulate to their advantage

Methods of 1mpecunious Noblemen.

the thousands of false diamonds sold
yearly in London. A working gold
smith says he has seen q good deal of the
trade in imitation stones. People of all
rank buy them. y nobleman is in imme-
diate want of cash and must find it some
how. He will, perhaps, turn to his fam
lily diamonds. Possibly 10000 could
