dares them to sue him for libel. he de7
clared that political assessments on all
State employees were made to the OK
tent Of SlO00 600 and succeeded in substan-
tiating his claims so fully by means of
suits instituted by discharged employees
as to cause some of the money thus ob-
tanned TO. be returned. senator MaSon
speaks OF this as Il ''slush fund re Goes
no: hesitate to call Governor Yates and
his leaders thieves. using the word PLAIN

to bring action against him for SANDER.
According o him the Yates-Lorrimer ma
chine secured per cent. of the salaries
from all State employees for the estab-
lishment of a 'slush'' fund
JUST WHAT HE is.
A few days ago some one charged that
Senator Mason intended to come out and
support the Democratic ticket and that in
return he would get the Democratic vote
of the Legislature for reelection. In re-
ply to this Senator Mason said:
II have been asked whether am q

WASHINGTON, D. c.. November l.
Especial -I!linois is a Republican State
under nearly all conditions and the con-
ditions have to be mighty bad when che
Democrats have Il chance OF carrying the
State, but that is said to be just the out
look in Illinois at this time. Instead OF
q hundred thousand Republican majority.
rs is usually the case, Republican leaders
are putting their claims at from 5000 TO
$1,000. No good reason is given for this
unusual shrnkage in the usual maiori-
ties. The trouble III the State. outside of
general dissatisfaction with the Republic
can party on the trust and tariff issues,
and the Democratic accessions for these
reasons, is the fight that Senator Billy
Mason is making. The fat, good mature
Senator from Illinois is causing all kinds
of worry to the regular Republicans and
is undoubtedly thorn in their sides. He
has caused SO much disSa t.sfaction with
Governor Yates and his political com
bnation that the chances are exceedingly
strong for Independent Republicans,
friends of Mason, and Democrats to con-
troll the Legislature and send somebody
here of their own liking to succeed Ma

FAT But BRAINY.

Senator Mason, although fat and good
natured, is beyond doubt n fighter,
hrainy man and a splendid lawyer. lie
has been somewhat out Of regular Re-
publican harness for several years be-
cause of differences with the majority OF
his party on the Philippines and other
questions. But he thought that these diff
ferences would not cause so much oppo-
sition in Illinois, and did not make much
of & fight until the State Convention met
and proceeded to pass an unusual resolu-
tor endorsing Representative Hopkins for
the Senate to succeed Senator Mason.
Distinguished Republicans and friends of
Senator Mason opposed any such endorse
ment and commital of the party. and
when they failed the friends of Senator
JASON carried the fight into the coun-
ties. 1t grew in bitterness right along.
and the consequence is that there are
number Of independent candidates for the
Legislature scattered all through the
State. The Democrats are giving them
more or less hearty support. and they are
occasionally silently supporting Demo-
Gratis in other portions of the State. Sena-
tor Mason is declaring that ne is
Quoting his fight within Republican lines,
and the Democratic State Committee does
not admit that is getting any assistance
from them but ii is quite apparent that
the Democrats and Mason Republicans
are working, if not in harmony, in the
same direction.
THAT ''SLUSH FUND"
The fight is bitter that it is being
carried into the Congressional districts,
particularly in Chicago. and the fact is
that three or four Republican nominees
are in serious danger OF defeat in dis
tricts that We're made to furnish from five
to ten thousand Republican maiorities.
EN- Congressman Billy Lorimer, the I'M
disputed Republican boss Of Illinois poll
tics. had "a special district created for
himself which he thought would be sure
OF furnishing him big majority. The
district gave Mckinley a majority in 1900
Of S473 and Governor Yates majority
of 5132 Yet the Republicans admit that
I.orrimer has a hard fight to win and may
be turned down.

THE CATALOGUE EVIL.
Patronize Home Industry and Trade With
Local Merchants.

The old complaint-that of catalogues
Is in this city again with a vengeance.
In the past week the town has been
loaded down with fall and winter catal-
ogues from the coast and Eastern States.
Everybody who receives mail in this city
has received a big package at the post
office, and they are carried home and
the prices are consulted. The people who
look over these lists generally see some
thing that is needed in the household
and If the cash is handy an order goes
to the foreign house without the prelim-
mary of consulting the home merchant.
says the Carson Appeal.
One lady in this city mailed a dozen
requests for catalogues in one day. and
in the course of a few weeks she will be
loaded down with material to ponder
but get the catalogue business that is
transacted in this city, they could open
up shops that would lead the coast.
The worst feature of the catalogue bus
mess is the fact that they deal in every
article that is used in the home. They
generally come from department stores,
and the prices seem low until compared
with those of the home merchant. The
merchants of the towns in this State
should take an active part in doing away
with the catalogue business and they
can do so by personal requests to their
patrons to give them a nance to dupli-
cate any goods that are advertised at
the same cost, with the freight added,
either event.
