last night About midnight people
we're aroused by the ringing Of the
hre bell and soon a large crowd had
assembled at tho scene of the fire.
When discovered tho flames had such
headway that there was no chance OF
subduing them. The fire originated
in the kitchen of the Planters Hotel
and is supposed to have been caused
by Il defective hue Among the
buildings burned we're the Planters
Hotel, a large three story frame build

the frame livery stables of Messrs

Mrs. M. f. Matthews. All the build

Morristown, N. J.-Former Presi-
dent Cleveland spoke Thursday night
to political meeting held in Lyceum
Hall. Special trains brought hun.
dreds of people from other cities and
towns in this vicinity, aud Mr..
Cleveland was given an ovation. Mr..
Cleveland said in part:
a,r II am especially pleased to learn
that tariff reform has been made the
principal issue in the canvass You
have in hand. Never within my Oh
servation or experience has there
been time when this should be
more earnestly, persistently and hon
estly pressed upon the attention of
our countrymen than now.
"Of course, custom duties must
continue to be the source of govern
ment maintenance until another pl
is devised; Dot tariff, constructed
for the purpose of protection as it's
chief object, IT, at all times and in
every feature Of it an unjust aud
unfair burden upon tho masses
of our people; but the bold
and arrogant Developments of its
unfairness aud injustice in recent
years, and the new directions they
have taken, ought to especially ar
rest the attention and apprehension
of every thoughtful, sober minded
citizen"
Mr.. Cleveland reverted to former
Democratic tariff campaigns and
quoted several paragraphs from his
tariff message of 1887.

"Sooner than they had the least
reason to expect the friends Of the
tariff or, in other words, those who
sought to grow rich with govern
ment help at the expense of the peo-
pie, with their aidel and abettors,

again adjusting tariff rates. How

Of tho so called friends Of the tariff

tective tariff grows by indulgence

FOR INCREASE OF CAPITAL,
Fees That tho Secretary OF State n1ust
Collect

The following opinion has been
filed by the assistant attorney gene
raj in response to request from the
Secretary Of State, and it means con-
siderable to companies desiring to
Increase their capital stock.
Dear Sir: You request to be ad-
vised as to the fees to be charged for
increasing the capital stock of corpo-
rations.
Section 851 Of the civil code of
1902 provides the manner for in
creasing the capital stock, and d.
rects that the fee to be paid to the
Secretary of State shall be the fee
required by section 1883 for each
charter issued or renewed.
That section provides: "The Sec.
rotary of State is hereby authorized
and required to collect the following
fees upon each charter issued or re.
newed to any corporation, payable
when said charter is issued or re
newed. The sum of ono mill upon
each dollar Of the capital stock All
thorized, up to and including one
hundred thousand dollars, the sum
OF one.half of a mill upon each dol
lar of tho capital stock exceeding one
hundred thousand dollars, and M to
aud including one million dollars,
anal the sum Of ono fourth of Il mill
upon each dollar Of tho capital stock
exceeding one million dollars" etc,
and the fees for fling and recording
the necessary papers.
IL is evident that tho feos as stated
under section 1888 are the fees to be
charged for an increase of capital
stock. OF course this section does
not apply to municipal corporations,
churches, colleges, schools, or other
eleemosynary organizations.

Valid Ohiections to- Manner.

From every county in Illinois come
reports of a rebellion of the republi-
can voters against Chris. Manner, of
Chicago, the republican nominee for
clerk of the supreme court. The rea-
sons can be found in the influential
republican press of the state prior to
the republican state convention.
Briefly, Manners nomination is oh
noXiOus to everybody.
l. Because he was placed on the
ticket at the command of William
LOrimer and the Cook county repub-
lican ring.
>. Because Capt. \. d. Cadwalla-
der, of Lincoln. who lost an arm at
the battle of Peach Tree creek. and
who is in every way qualified for the
place, was beaten. manned veteran
of the war cast aside for a ward heel
er in Chicago.
,. Because the justices of the SUI
preme court of Illinois have entered
an earnest protest against Manner as
clerk of their court. They declare
him unfit for the place. and that
his election would be monstrous
outrage upon the state, the bar and
the court" They want a clerk ''who
can act as their trusted, confidential
agent" Manner is the present clerk
for the northern grand division (ail
the divisions have been consolidated.
and now one clerk is elected for the
entire state). and the honorable JUS
tees assert that Manner lis seldom in

ing to Springfield simply to draw his
fees" and the election of such Il
man would seriously Inconvenience
and embarrass" the supreme court.
4. Because the bench and bar of
Illinois feel that their profession has
been insulted by the nomination of
Manner.
). Because Manner holds the world
record as an official pap-sucker, hav-
ing in 20 years, according to the Chi
cago Tribune, drawn "a years of far

An Erroneous Impression.

An erroneous impression has been
created to an extent in some section
of this congressional district to the
effect that the controversy that has
arisen between the Rock Island and
the Mercer-Henderson county fac
tions in the democratic ranks over
the question of minority representa-
tive dates back to the McEniry-An-
drews contest of two years ago. This
view of the case springs from unin-
formed sources.
The existing unfortunate state of
affairs is due absolutely and solely
either to political prejudice or lack
of political Judgment manifested by
the Rock Island county delegation
composed, it is reasonable to presume
of William II. Moore's friends-to the
