The aueation Of Loyalty.

Calhoun Chronicle.
We have always believed in. advocated
and practiced loyalty to party, and we be-
lieve also in loyalty to country. to home,
to school. to church-loyalty to everything.
and when a man nno practice this doc
trine he annot be a good member of any
thing. It is wisdom to change manner Of
acting when one is convinced he is wrong.
We have heard men declare, In the most
emphatic terms, that they would vote the
Democratic or Republican ticket if it would
sink the nation. On hearing such a decia-
ration, ninety-nine men out of one hundred
would intuitively exclaim, If they said
anything: THE language of fool.' If
a man will declare his intention to vote
a certain ticket as long as he believed it to
be right. no one ought TO question him or
his authority. but upon a declaration like
the former there is just cause for inves-
LEGATION, and charges of treason.

In 1896 the Republican campaign
fund was $3.50 200. This year the
Republican leaders and the trusts have
so much at stake that there will be an
effort to raise $50. 600, 900 to re-elect

to foot the bill.

Lines Up All Right.

Pennsboro News.
A Puerto Rico tariff shutting West Vir-
ginia coal out of Pennsylvania would be
a grand thing for the down-trodden miners
of that State, and the government could
square US by an appropriation covering
damages sustained by our impaired trade.
Such an arrangement wou,d be at war with
the constitution and a violation of "our
plain duty but it would line up beauti-
fully with Republican presidents.

The Senate calls on Secretary of
War Root for an explanation of his
act in Cuba granting an exclusive con-
cession to G. w. Esterly, Deputy Audi

If Root pursues his favorite policy of
mastery silence, the one he adopted
when the New York State S~uperintend-
ent of Banking brought official charges
against him for negotiating an illegal
loan for the State Trust Company, he
will s~auvely tell the Senate, There is

These are startling figures. They do not
necessarily mean that America is going to
be a permanent coal supplier of Europe.
She must, in normal times, always be
handicapped by freight. But America Is
now permanently established as a Snpplier
of the foreign coaling stations. At-eh as
has been the development of coal mining
in the United States within the last twenty
years, one may say that the coal deposits
of the country are as yet, barely scratched.
Further development, however, means in

West Virginia is already supplying
a large portion of this trade abroad.

Philippine EARTHQUAKES.

The Philippine islands are in a state OF con-
slant tremor. Most of these vibrations are SO
slight that they can be observed only by a
special instrument invented for automatic ally
recording the movements OF the earths crust.
Earthquakes are as frequent in the human sys-
TEN Us upon the earths surface. A little dis
turbance OF the digestive organs and the en-
tire system Is Affected. Many people pay little
attention to small disorders of the stomach,
but they keep gradually getting worse, and
then. comes the earthquakes shock that
causes serious illness. Hostetter's Stomach
Btters should be taken at the slightest sign
OF constipation. Indigestion, dyspcps or

strengthen the whole system. Our private

Return From Gold Fields.

Capt. Wall and son, Frank, returned
to Moline yesterday from the gold
fields of Alaska. They left Nome
Oct. 26, and, with the exception of a
few days stay in Seattle, came right
through. While the financial returns
from the venture have not been suffi-
cient to meet the expenses this year,
the Walls succeeded in securing
ground that they believe will bring
large returns next year, and it is the
intention of Frank to return to look
after their interests. 1t is likely that
Capt. Wall or the latter's other son,
Chris, will accompany Frank to the
land of promise next spring, Jake
Cromwell, another of the Moline gold
hunters, who has spent nearly three
years in the search for the elusive
metal without reward, is in bad shape

TURKEYS PLENTIFUL:
ARE IN FINE CONDITION.

With the approach of Nov. 90,
Thanksgiving day. interest increases
in turkeys, and many questions are
being asked of poultry dealers as to
the quantity and quality of the fowls
These are promptly answered by the
dealers, who have already put out
large orders. They say that this will
be one of the largest turkey years the
country has known, and that if the
cold weather continues for a week
more the turkeys will be plump and
in excellent condition. 1t is expected
that the retail price of frst-class
dressed turkeys will hover around 124
cents this year, although it may drop
l cent in the last week Cranberries,
although scarcer than last year, will
be of superior quality. They will
probably sell for about 10 cents a
quart. The celery is coming in in
good condition.

RETAIL CLERKS WIN
IN THE SWANSON CASE

A Jury in Magistrate Fingers court
in Davenport yesterday afternoon de-
cided that Robert Swanson, president
of the Rock Island Retail Clerks
union. did not give Max Shbersteiu
a black eye in the mixup at the lat
ter's store on a recent Sunday morn
ing. The hearing of the case occupied
the entire day, and the jury reached
verdict of not guilty without leaving
their seats. The Silbersteins intro
duced four witnesses who were sure
that Mr.. Swanson was the one who
delivered the goods, and the latter
offered a dozen who swore that he
did not. Silbersteins' witnesses de-
clared that the complainants struck
no blows, but confined their efforts to
football tactics. This the witnesses
for the defense strenuously denied.
Julius fischer and George W. Scott
prosecuted and William Chamb berlin
defended.

ASK BERTH OF YATES
Railroad Employees Seek Repre-.
sentation on State Com
mission.
WILL MAKE A STRONG FIGHT
Rise in Wages on the Milwaukee
Affects Only Few Hun
dred Men.
WILL MAKE A STRONG FIGHT

Employees of the railroads il this
state are preparing to make a strong
fight to have representative of their
business appointed member of the
Illinois railroad and warehouse COM
mission when Gov. Elect Yates shall
come to the consideration of the per-
sonnet of the next commission.
The five brotherhoods of railway
employees in the state-engineers,
conductors, firemen, brakemen and
switchren have united their infu-
ence in an endeavor to secure recog-
milton on the next commission.
A candidate for the place has not
been finally agreed upon by the broth
erhoods, but it is said that Charles
Clark, of Springfield. an engineer on
the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis
road, is probably the most favorably
considered. The conductors, how
ever, have not fully approved the Sc
lection of an engineer, but this oPpo-
sition, it is said, is not very strong.
1t has long been contended by the
brotherhoods that a practical railroad
man should have a position on the
board, and with this end in view the
organizations asked Messrs. Yates and
Alschuler last September TO recognize
their claim in the event of election.
Each candidate promised to give the
brotherhoods a hearing, and Judge
Yates has now notified the trainmen
