JONES
Has Issued His Proclamation Declar'
ing Himself Candidate.

Toledo Jones has issued his pronun-
icamento declaring himself a candidate
for Gov ernor, "by petition. He comes
out at the request of 10000 petitioners,
as candidate, against parties, which
he says are preserved only for the
spoils, and against party hate, which
he says makes good citizens enemies to
each other, His letter and platform are
long, and full of utopian ideas, but he
will cut no little figure in the cam
paign. His intentions are good, but
his ideas are not practical. For in
stance his idea that four million of peo-
| pie ought to make the laws themselves,
instead of selecting representatives to
make them, is the height of absurdity
The first thing the people want to dc
in this country is to wrench one or the
other of the great parties out of the
hands of the party bosses, establish
civil rights on constitutional basis
put the railroads under Government
control and 60 for the Trusts that are
crushing out all independence in trade
and manufacturing If the people cam
do this through a party, they surely
will never be able to it without party

THE URBANA FAIR.
Big Attendance and Gambling
0aIOrel

Big Attendance and Gambling
0aIOrel
Farmers and others from our county
who attended the Urbana Fair last
week, say there was fine attendance,
and very successful Fair. But two
facts they mentioned, were to the dis
credit of the county.
The best show of horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs, was from without the
county. Champaign is too old, and too
rich, and too good a county, to permit
this. Something was wrong.
The other Objectionable feature was,
that all kinds of gambling was per-
mitted on the grounds 1t is shameful,
the way these gambling sharks are
permitted to flaunt their evil devices
in peoples faces and teach lessons OF
evil to the young! The laws of the
State forbid it! The interests of the COM
munity forbid it! And it should never
be allowed. If there, is no other way
to prevent it, the Members of the
Board who permit it, ought to be
arrested for keeping a place where
gambling is allowed. They are nc
better than others who keep gambling
places.
Logan county for number OF years
has forbidden these gambling schemes
at her Fairs, and her Secretaries have
been diligent to shut out everything o
the kind; for which they deserve th'
the thanks of all good citizens.

BoY-Pa, what is a ''round robin. u

BoY-Pa, what is ''round robin"
PA-A round robin, my boy, is bird
that has neither head nor tail, and
it flies in circle to keep people from
telling which way it is going.
BoY-But pa, what does it mean
when it says the officers sent Ground
robin to the President. What does he
want with such a bird?
When the officers in the army
want something they are afraid to ask
for, and every one of them is afraid to
put his name down first, for fear oi
being court martialed, they sign their
names in a circle so the President
can't tell who is the leader.
BOY-I don't think that shows much
courage, for soldiers.
PA-Neither do l. But there are
brave men who will face cannon, who
are afraid to do their duty, if they
think it will make them unpopular
And yet they make fun of women, be
cause they scare at mouse!

DEATH OF MR.. D. II. BALDWIN,

Mr.. d. H. Baldwin, founder and
leading member of the firm OF d. Fl.
Baldwin & Co., music dealders of Gin
cinnati, died at his home on Walnut
Hills, Wednesday night, of kidney
disease, aged 70 years. He was born
in Erie county, Pa, and graduated at
Oberlin college in this State, intending
to enter the ministry. Ill health
changed his plans, and he became a
teacher of music in Kentucky and
Ohio. In 1874, he married Miss
Emerine Summers, of Elizarville,
Kentucky, who survives him. They
never had any children.
Mr.. Baldwin did not sing, but lead
his classes with the violin. He was a
remarkably successful teacher, and
being man of great energy, he would
teach five or six classes a day, riding
from village to village. He
taught normal music schools fol
the training of teachers, in southern
Ohio, and was very successful in what
ever he undertook. 1t was when 8
small boy, we first knew him, being
member of one of his singing schools
In 1868 he begun selling musical in
struments at Cincinnati, and pushing
his business with his usual energy
became worth several hundred thou
sand dollars.
Mr.. Baldwin was true Christian
gentleman, genial, pleasant and oblig
ling, an elder in the Presbyterian
church at Walnut Hills, and an activ
worker in church and Sunday Schools
He was good man and has gone t.
the Christians rest.
