BE OF GOOD CHEER.

Times are not bright as they should be,
But don't repine;
Let's make tho most of what we see,
With just incline.
The sun and moon will rise and set,
As in old days,
And life will be sweeter, brighter yet,
And full of praise.
Keep hope and heart bright days will
come,
There's naught to fear;
The wheels of progress yet will hum
Both far and near,
Then off with doubt, the future spreads
Bright cheer for all,
And with her finger beckoning leads
With joyous call.

For Recorder of Deeds.

The excellent record made by Record
er Heuster during his first term in Of
flee won for him at his partys hands
the tribute of a cordial denomination
and it will win for him at the polls
three weeks from today an equally cor
dial reelection. Mr.. Heuster's genial
ways and obliging manner in office
have made for him many hundreds of
friends in all parts of the county, to
whom three years ago he was a strang-
er but who now will gladly cooperate
for the success of his deserving candi-
dacy. The South Side, where he lives,
will take special pains to compliment
him with fine showing on election
night, and as he has always been a
staunch and loyal Republican, willing
to respond whenever called to party
service, there is every reason to believe
that he will command in all localities
the normal panty strength.

Weylerism's Crash.

The question what will follow Wey-
ler's recall is an interesting one.
When Weyler was governor general
of the Philippine Islands he received
a salary of $40, 900 a year, at least half
of which would be required to MAIN
tain the social position of the office,
provided the occupant We're an honest
man with none but his authorized in
come. Weyler was at Manila three
years. Thus if he had been honest his
savings could not much have exceeded
100000. AS it was, he sent for deposit
to his personal credit in banks in
London, Paris and Madrid sums of
money aggregating, according to the
best means of information obtainable,
between SS,OOO,OOO and s4,OOO0OO.
The charge that Weyler has feather
ed his nest with even more unblush-
ing effrontery while governor general
in Cuba is made by hundreds of wit
nesses representing every shade of
opinion and every degree of facility
for acquiring trustworthy information.
While Weyler held the reins of his Of
flee, with almost absolute power, his
misdeeds We're naturally not paraded
in Havana or at Madrid but now that
he has been recalled and repudiated,
will not tongues hitherto silent now
speak? Will not the Sagasta regime
for political effect lift the lid OF Wey-
lerism in Havana?
Evidently there is music in store.

THAT DISPUTED BOUNDARY LINE.
HAS BEEN IN SUPREME COURT
FOR TWENTY YEARS AND UP
AGAIN YESTERDAY.

Washington Oct. 13.-A case involv-
ing the boundary line between the
States of New Jersey and Delaware,
which has been on the Supreme Court
of the United States docket for twenty
years, was revived in that court yester-
day by the entering OF a motion by At
torney-General Grey, of the State OF
New Jersey for an order for a decree
proconfess in the interest of New Jer-
sey. II appeared from Mr. Grey's state
ment. which was confirmed by United
States Senator Gray who appeared In
behalf OF Delaware, that the proceeding
looking to the definite establishment of
the line had been instituted in March.
1877, and that it had been postponed
by stipulation from one term of court
to another. Senator Gray stated that
the long tendency of the case was sig
niilcant of the real disposition OF the
two states-that in reality they did not
desire TO bring II 10 an issue. He sug-
gested another continuance OF the case
until the beginning OF the next term OF
court, with the understanding that, II
in the meantime the case was not set
tied by the two states, II should be
taken eff the docket.
This solution of the problem was ac-
cepted by the court and an order Of
continuance entered.
The case involves the control of fish.
ing rights in the Delaware river.

oNE ON THE ANTIoUARIAN.

Philip L. Garrett prides himself upon
being somewhat of an antiquarian. One
day recently a friend Of his brought
him a conical-shaped piece of pottery

whether or not it was an Indian relic
or belonged to the stone age. He made
an exhaustive research, but finally had
TO give it up. He left the relic on the
desk in his law office, and yesterday a
friend came in and, looking at 1t quizi-
cally for moment, asked him what in
the world he was doing with the stone
stopper of a vitriol oarboy in his posses
sion. Just then the joke dawned on MT

deal and ran TO the creamery on the

known to the men there he sat down
and calmly awaited the arrival of DR.

be seen pulsating in the performance
OF it's regular function.
