POLITICAL POINTS.

Vote for the democratic ticket from
top to bottom. It's the peoples
ticket.
Fred Whistler, democratic candidate
for collector, is a popular candidate
and a winner.
William Eckermann is meeting with
fine success in his aldermanic canvass
in the Second ward. It's only a ques-
ton of majority-of course the ma jor-
ity will be in the Eckermann column.
The many of man jobs is finding the
Fifth ward a rocky road to travel,
politically speaking. Henry l.. Whee-
Ian suits the people of the ward. They
say Frank Robbins has too much to do
now.
The republicans of the First ward
sought comfort in the report that Aid.
Robert Beck was to move away from
town. No one will be more forcibly
impressed with the fact on election
day that he is still in the ward than
Brother wilkins.
Christian Schillinger is proving
himself a power to the democratic
taxpayers are treated fairly and
Justly. No discrimination will be
countenanced by him. Fairness is
what the people want.
Dan Maroney will make Bill Kenne-
DIV look like 80 cents election day.
The voters of the Sixth ward have
known Dan from boyhood., = He is one
Of the young stalwarts OF the ward.
Aud they are going to elect him for
alderman by large majority.
No partiality goes with Honest John
w. Lawhead in administering to the
needs of the property holders of the
Seventh ward. He represents the
whole ward, and in so doing sees that
every portion of the ward is
treated fairly. In the next two years
he proposes doing as he has done in
the past.
The record of Morris w. Battles as
a mem Der of the county board is suf-
ficient argument in itself, if one were
needed, to insure his continuance in
office. But no argument is necessary.
His reelection is assured. So is that
of his colleagues, j. L. Shields and G..
FL. Seidel, two of the ablest mem bers
of the board-both business men and
taxpayers.
Frank Andrews may do as a curb
stone orator, but the voters of the
Third ward will see to it that he will
not work off any of his Fourth of July
eloquence in the city council. The
council room is not supposed TO be an
oratorical school. Its's place for the
transaction of city business. An
drews has chair In the sheriff's Of
fee. He has plenty to do in holding
that down. Edward Bakersfield will
guard the interests of the Third ward
in the council the next two years.
And he will guard them properly.
Gus Moeller's nomination for alder
man by the republicans of the Fourth
was only joke, at best. The laugh
will come election day. Gus may get a
few votes, for he is a really good fellow,
but the voters of the ward feel they
have about the proper aldermauic
material in George w. Aster. Mr..
Aster has demon strated his capabili-
ties as a councilman, and it has been
decided that a change is not desira BILE

CLOSE OF INSTITUTE,
Teachers of the County Complies
Their Annual Session 8
of Study.
IN TEREsIING TOPICS ARETREATED

Instructors Continue Their Talks, Which
Have Proven of Such Great Benefit to
the Educators of the Young MInd-Late
Arrivals County Association Elects L. g.
Daugherty President.
The teachers institute opened at 9
O'Clock this morning. There were no
exercises, Miss Cook at once taking a
class in first grade work ard giving
them a general lesson upon soils ana
the conditions necessary to promote
growth in plants. Prof. o Shea fol-
lowed. He described the various
stages through which man has risen
from the simplest form of life, point
ing to the evidences which no fair
minded person can dispute. From
charts he showed that each individual
passes through all the successive
stages that have marked the progress
of the entire race, and that at some
time in life he experiences the fear,
com bativeness or other undesirable
q uality that was a necessity in some
remote period of existence. BY thus
explaining the imperfections of child
rem, he prepared the way for talk
upon punishment in its relation to the
overcoming of these qualities. Miss
Cook again took the floor and closed
her interesting series of lectures by
answering questions. In her answers
she defined the general purposes of
education.
Afternoon Session.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Cook took
class composed of first grade pupils
and gave them sample lesson in
physiology.
Superintendent Hursh reviewed the
forces that tend to modify the sur
face of the earth, water. air and
changes of temperature, and held
that the teachers need not go far to
find illustrations for her class.
Prof O'Shea's lecture was on the
relief and manner of obviating mental
fatigue. The human body was de-
scribed as machine that generates
power. and the proper materials to
be used for that purpose, as well as
those used for repair, were discussed
at length. The professor believes
that meat should be eaten sparingly
by those engaged in mental labor.
The following teachers registered
yesterday:
Rock lsland-Lily C. Bromley, O..
T. Peterson, Flora Repine, Minnie
Quayle.
Port Byron-H. r. Shreve, Grace
Hunt.
Taylor Ridge-Lillian Bowes.
Hillsdale- Mamie j. Dillon.

THE EDITOR AND rHe FARMER.

IN
The bond of sympathy between the
country editor and the farmer ought to
be pretty strong. One year ago the
farmer bought his barb wire for 81 S5.
To-day the price is IS 25. A year ago
the country editor paid $2 for bundle
of paper used in printing his paper.
To-day it costs him 81. What are We
going to do about it MIR. Farmer? You
are compelled to have the wire and you
will have to pay the price. The editor
is compelled TO buy paper and either
lose he SO a bundle increase or double
the price of the subscription. All to
gether it looks as if the trusts have
singled US out as special victims. You
farmers are of course '.,lown on the
trusts" for robbing you. At the same
time, what do you think of your neigh
boz who owes the editor two or three
years for the paper and will not pay
any attention TO the statements sent by
the publisher asking him for the few
dollars he owes to help him publish hls
paper at the old price, Sheridan Ad-
vance.

soURKe COCHRAN FOR BRYAN.

That William Jennings Bryan has
captured the democrats Of the east who
bolted his nomination in 1896 is being
made manifest by the events which arr
now coming into evidence.
Bourke Cock ran, one of the most elo.
quent of the former opposition, has
given out an interview to the effect tina;
ne would support Bryan and platform
making imperialism the chief issue Of
the campaign.
This is the first step toward declara.
ton that he will support Bryan on the
platform adopted by the national demo.
cratic convention.
That is the position every true demo.
crat should assume.
This is no time for democrats to set up
their individual opinions against the
time honored rule that the will of the
majority should prevail. If men like
Bourke Cochran assume the right to
dictate the terms on which they will
support their party, all hope Of victory
might as we'll be abandoned now.
It would be gratifying and helpful to
the democratic majority if Cochran
would return to his allegiance with no
ultimatum as to what the great party
must do to win his support. But it
will never do to allow him to dictate
the terms.
II victory ls to be won, it must be
secured through united action, and the
best way to secure such action is to ac-
cept the decisions Of the national con.
vention and to work in harmony with
the majority on the platform adopted
by that convention Chicago Demo

Now that the Roberts case is decided,
we are reminded of two little anecdotes
that bear on the subject. One is of a
certain man from Utah, not member
Of congress, who answered. when asked
how many wives he had "enough to
keep me from running after other peo-
ple's.
And the other story is Of a "lady' in
Washington who advertised that her
infant child, whose father was con.
gresham, was i'll, and that if $40 was
not at once sent to certain address,
she would call in person to see the faith

MORE QUESTIONS ron GAGE.

Senator Allen of Nebraska has had
passed by the senate a resolution
Of inquiry into the action of Secretary
Gage III connection with the standard
Oil bank, which covers some points
omitted from the secretary's answer
to the first senatorial resolution. These
are the points, about which Mr.. Allen
wishes to know things:
First-What reply did you make to
the famous Hepburn letter?
Second-What occurred at Your Sc
cret. meeting with Stillman and Nor.
gan in Philadelphia?
Third-What record was kept of the
telephone messages between the treas
urY department AMI the Standard Oil
bank?
Fourth-What securities passed back
and forth between the treasury depart
ment and the Standard Oil company?
Fifth-An data on the omitted let
ters and documents relating to the
placing of department deposits in the
Standard Oil bank.

Il The president knew that Orson.
Smith, whom he appointed postmaster
at Logan, Utah, was polygamist and
living with several wives, because the
Rev. w. E. Clemenson wrote him the
fact before he was appointed and re-.
peatedly after before he was confirmed.
Edward w. Nelson and John Boyle of
Logan also wrote and affidavits, it is
said were sent. But the president ap.
pointed Smith and said nothing to the
senate about this and the senate con.
firmed him. II Roberts had been re.
publican there would not word haye
been said about his polygamy and be
would have been promptly seated. This
is evident from the facts of Cannon
having been seated and that most Of the
Federal officials in Utah have been and
are polygamists since the territory be-.
came state and all republicans Ft.

The year 1900 is an election year. So
was the year 1900 That year the peo.

Because they know that David Martin is alb

declared that the passage of the Porto Rcan

AND now the news comes from London that
England proposes to blot out the two republics
in South Africa and inaugurate the rule Of the
British Empire. Thus, one by one, republics
are to succumb, some by brute force, others
starved intr submissions; but they will go, all
the same end the thing to be deeply regretted
by every lover of liberty in our land is that our
government is secretly party to the infamous
scheme. The present Republican administra-
ton is planning and fighting to rob the Cubans
and Filipnos Of the right of self, government,
lust as the British are cruelty robbing the Beers.
These outrages are not only disgrace to the
civilization Of to-day, but they are an awful sin
against God and terrible crime against hui
manity. 1t is extremely disgusting to hear
man who claims to be a christian minister tell
mis- congregation that 'God is leading on' in
teh preparation OF these great wrongs. Such
preaching will make more nfides than all the

DEBS FOR PRESIDENT.

Eugene V. Debs has been nominated for presid-

of California, is the nominee for vice.president.
Debs is one of the bravest, grandest, strongest
men in the nation. He will not be elected
president this year but we hope to see the day
when he will occupy that position. We believe
he will prove to be another Abraham Lincoln.
