The Republican Rumpus in Illinois

The fight between the Yale-Hop-
transformer machine and the opposi-
ton faction in the republican party
is growing more bitter day by day.
1t is claimed that Senator's Cullom
and Mason are working together to
defeat A. j. Hopkins, the Yates ma
chine candidate for senator. AS an
evidence of this the Fulton county
Ledger calls attention to the fact that
Ipostmasters in counties in its locality
which stood by Yates and Hopkins
are failing to secure reappointment.
Postmaster John r. Camp, of Bush
nell, had to step down and out be-
cause he had said kind things of
Yates and Hopkins in his paper.
| w. H. Hainline, editor of the Ma
comb Journal, was reappointed post
master at Macomb, but the price of
his reappointment was that he should
oppose the state administration and
Hopkins, and he is working overtime
to fulfill the promise.
The republican organization of
Schuyler county indorsed DIR. Har-
| vey for reappOintment as post
master of Rushville, but the county
indOrsed Hopkins for United States
senator, and Harvey was unable to
secure the influence of Senators Gull
lom and Mason in his behalf. The
senator's have recommended a man
named Trumble to succeed DIR. Har-
vey-
The postmasters of Pittsfield and
Mattoon stood by the state admins
tration in the recent republican state
convention and they will lose their
positions in consequence.
And so it goes all along the line.
The warning fractional leaders of the
republican party it seems have de-
clared war to the knife
1t is no wonder that members of
the republican party who are not
spoilsmen are Disguised with condi-
tiOns that exist. The republican
politicians and leaders in Illinois are
a bad lot according to their own tell.

His sight Threatened.

"While picnicking last month my
11-year-old boy was poisoned by some
weed or plant" says w. H. Dibble, of
Sioux City, Iowa. "He rubbed the
poison off his hands into his eyes and
for a while we were afraid he would
lose his sight. Finally a neighbor
recommended DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. The first application helped
him and in a few days he was as well
as ever" For skin diseases, cuts,
burns, scalds, wounds, insect bites,
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is sure
cure. Relieves piles at once. Beware
of counterfeits. All druggists.

The Reaping of the Harvester Trust

New York World: Experience with
the coal trust and the beef barons'
merger" inclines readers to an atti-
tude of philosophic doubt concerning
the promise of the new SOC, 900, 900
harvester trust of Substantial bene-
fits both to consumer and manufac-
turer'- the consumer being the
American farmer, whose welfare is
the basis of our prosperity.
The economics of production" of
which trust promoters say so much
will in this case be realized. They
are already indicated in the prospec-
tive laying off, of 10000 statesmen
and many clerks. martyrs of pros
perity." But the merger makers,
not the public, will get the benefit.
Within the Dingley duty of 20 per
cent. on farm machinery the Ameri-
can market is controlled by Ameri-
can makers. Our factories, the big
gest in the world, have combined to
exact the last penny of tribute at
home while marketing their surplus
abroad at lower rates. Already we
sell more than $16,OOO.OOO worth of
farm machinery per year in other
countries-more than a million dol
lars worth each to Great Britain,
Russia, France, Germany and Argen-
tina, about million in Australia and
smaller quantities elsewhere.
The American farmer pays the tar
iff; the foreign buyer of farm ma
chinery gets the benefit of the only
competition" it leaves possible.
