They Became Sensitive.

From the Aledo Times-Record ire
publican) of April %: 1t seems
that the article which APP
peared in this paper two weeks ago
stirred the animals up to wonderful
extent. Rerefence is had to the com
ment upon the action of Judge Carter
at the Bushnell conference of the jul
dicial committee. Even our old friend
doc" Hainline, of Macomb, comes out
with a flourish of trumpets and bra
zen horns in his journal and attempts
to pirate of -''bulldOzing."
To those who know Doc this is a
huge joke. Why, We have been ac.
quainted with him for years and il
there is a man in northwestern Hi
nois who, when he does not obtain
his desires, attempts the bulldozine
scheme it is doc" We can prove this
assertion by every man, woman and
child in McDonough county.
Now, Brother Hainline, we will once
again give You the facts. Through the
influence of shrewd politicians of the
lower portion of the district, the
friends of Judge Carter, the reap
portionment scheme was evolved and
worked to finish. Four counties
strongly republican were added to the
district. and two strongly democratic
ones were detached. The whole
scheme was in the interest of the can
didacy of Judge Carter.
The counties of the north raised no
protest. Notwithstanding that they
were pleasantly situated, and in a
district Overwhelmingly republican.
Now, where the ''bulldozing" comes in
was the taking of those counties of
Rock Island, Mercer and Warren and
Henderson, without ever asking per-

Navy In Miniature.

A subject uppermOst in the mind of
every large nation today is its navy.
The management of the louisiana
Purchase Exposition recognizes this.
and one of the most interesting and
at the same time instructive features
will be the United States navy exhib-
it,
On considerable sheet of water
our navy will be shown in peace and
at war. \ fleet of 20 vessels. models
correct in every detail of the ships
they represent, will go through every
known naval manouvre. The minia-
ture warships are to be about 20 feet
in length. Each will have its own
electrical outfit for propulsion. steer
ing. firing, signaling and lighting. and
will be governed by a man seated in
the interior, who. although invisible
to an audience, can himself see every
thing going on about him as perfectly
as the commander on the bridge of a
real man-of-war.
Every type of ship in our navy will
be represented: the large battleships,
such as the Indiana. Massachusetts,
Oregon, etc; the cruisers. New York.
Brooklyn. etc; the torpedo boats.
the torpedo boat destroyers. and even
the submarine type.
An exhibition of the German navy,
based on a similar general plan. was
given in Germany last year.

A Trust in a Hole.

The only trust in this country now
in a bad way is the anthracite coal
trust. 1t is in a hole with the sides
Soaped and no ladder in sight; and it
should be borne in mind that it was
not deposited in this cavity by the re-
publican administration, but by a
good democrat, the recently elected
member of congress from a New York
city district, William Randolph
Hearst.
Mr.. Hearst's attorneys have proved
every contention before the interstate
commerce commission. They have
backed the trust up in a corner and
the trust refuses to produce its con
tracts. The court will be asked to
compel them to produce these con
tracts, which will prove them limo
cent or guilty of an infraction of the
law regulating interstate commerce
If they were innocent it is reason
able to suppose they would not hest
tate to produce the contracts and
confound the man who is after them.
And this prosecution of the anthra-
cite coal trust is not being carried on
by republican administration sworn
to execute the laws, but by a demo
cratic member of congress who is do
ing it at his own expense in the in
terest of law and order and the peck
cts of the people.

mission, and placing them in a dis
trict where the republican votes of
these counties would make the dis
trict safely republican which had been
hOpelessly democratic and which
would result in the reelection of
Judge Carter.
Nor was this all. When representa-
tives from the counties which had
been added for the purpose of obtain
ing their republican votes came be-
fore the judicial committee they were
snubbed, insulted and turned down.
We gods, talk about bulldozing. Why,
doc" we people living mp north here
do not even know the alphabet of
this process compared with you south
erners.
Now, no one expected the nominal
ton of Judge Gest. All that was want
ed was a kindly generous recognition.
All that was asked was to be given a
fair, square deal, and to be shown
the common courtesy of decent treat
ment. In other terms the great re-
publican counties of the north portion
of the district object to being bull
dozed
Lastly we may truly say that these
republican counties of the north are
willing and ever ready to cast their
lot Where their republican votes will
rebound to the good of the republican
party. They are cbntent to be placed
iudicially as they are today. provided
they be given a voice in saying who
shall be the candidates for whom they
shall cast their ballots.

Travelling is Dangerous.

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the body
by delicate attachments. This is the
reason that travellers, trainmen, street
car men, teamsters and all who drive

in some form. Foley's Kidney Cure
strengthens the kidneys and cures all
forms of kidney and bladder disease.

Says the ST. Louis Republic: Ru-
mOrs of Secretary Shaw's intention of
retiring from the cabinet are rife in
Washington. and it is not difficult TO
believe that they have foundation
in fact. Iowa is giving Mark Hanna

insisting upon tariff revision that an
Iowa man is very likely to be persona

their party.

POLL TAX MUST BE
 PAID BY SUNDAY
ONLY 1885 PEOPLE HAD PAID TAX UP TO LAST NIGHT. THERE ARE 5000 HOLDING REelsTRA- TON CERTIFICATES.

There remains only three more days, including today, for voters to pay their poll tax in time to be eligible to vote In any election in 1903.
 For the past few days the number pay ing their poll tax has increased. Mon day about HOO people in Birmingham paid their poll tax. Up to last night l,535 had paid the tax. The law says voters must pay their poll tax on or be- fore the first day of February to be al- lowed to vote during the year, but as the first day of February falls this year on Sunday the tax must be paid by Saturday night.
 The different candidates are still im- pressing upon their friends the necessity of going to the tax collectors office in the court house and settling their poll tax account.
 There are about 5000 Birmingham peo- pie who are In possession of life registra- ton certificates. About 12Oo of this num- Der are over 45 years of age, and do not have to pay the tax. A few are exempt by reason of the fact that they belong to military organizations.

ANoLo-eERMAN RELATIONS.
Empire Review Publishes Striking Ar.
 ticIes on Some Recent Events.

London, January 28.-Tomorrow's issue of the Empire Review, of which Kinlock Cooke, well known writer on foreign and colonial affairs, is editor, will publish striking articles on Anglo-German rela- tions, from important and thoroughly re- liable sources In Berlin and London, which are sure to attract considerable attention.
 The articles are designed to promote a better state of feeling in England and Germany. During the course of a recap itulation of their relations during a long period, the writer says: "The public should be made aware of the fact that 1t was our cabinet which asked the Ger man government to cooperate with this That decision was not. however. taken at Sandringham. Indeed, I think I am cor rect in saying the subject of Venezuela was not mentioned by Emperor William during his visit to the king. Anyhow, 1t is in every sense a perversion of things to. assert that the alliance was due to the cajolery of either the emperor or his chancellor. Germany did not force her alIinace upon us, nor did she dupe us Into a conclusion of the alliance. Moreover, the contention that Germany would have been prevented by force of public opinion in the United States from alone coercing Venezuela and that bpt for the alliance with us she would have run the risk of hostilities with the United States, is ar- bftrary, and would not be endorsed for a moment either in Downing street or at Washington.
