the end of gang rule in the American
congress-!
This is the drift of comment in po-
liticai circles since Uncle Joe's
famous Chicago speech, in which he
said:
Twenty members of the house AMI
seven senators voted against the re-
publican tariff BILL They are warning
against the republican majority in
congress and against the republican
president who signed the bill. Either
they are republicans, or we are. II
they are republicans. / am not. Ii 1
am republican, they are not. That
is my doctrine, and 1 am not afraid
to preach it,
Many of the republican members of
congress- who voted for the tariff bill
|deplore Speaker Cannon's persistence
in attempting to read the LaFoleIte-
Cummins-Bristow element out of the
party. They do not for one moment
think he will succeed, and would not
wish him to succeed if he could. They
realize that a party is no stronger than
Its most popular men, and that if the
Cummins and LaFollettes and Bris-
lows should be driven to a new or
SanlZation, the remaining republican
organ would be no stronger than the
popularity of Cannon and Aldrich.
This is not the view of republicans
like Tawney of Minnesota and Smith
of Iowa, 10 whom Aldrich and Cannon
are veritable political gods. but 20
those republicans who would like 20
be independent OF Cannonism while
serving as members of congress, but
are kept in line by the whip hand OF
the speaker.
The latter class of republican con-
gressmen view with great alarm Uncle
Joe's action in drawing a line between
the members who voted for the tariff
bill and those who did not They do
not want to go before the public On
that issue, realizing only too well that
public sentiment is with the insur-
gents and against those members who
supported the tariff measure.

The Unions Misfortune.

The Argus extends full measure of
sympathy, as well as a helping hand,
to its contemporary, the Union, in its
misfortune and loss by fire. There is
scarcely any institution that suffers
more by reason of accident threaten
ing interruption of it's regular course
of business than a newspaper, accus-
toned as it must necessarily be t.
fixed times of publication. No impair
mcnt is more serious to such an in
stitution as to fail to meet its obliga-
ton to its patrons or client in coming
before them at regular intervals. 1t
may. by reason of unavoidable circum-
stances, be tardy, but its practice and
purpose is not TO fail of issue.
Realizing this fact, so well fixed n
the minds of all publishers, there will
be no interruption of the publication
of the Union if those engaged in the
same field can prevent it.

The address made by the president
of the National Carriage Builders as
sociation to the effect that. the last of
the strictly high grade vehicles have
been built, the automobile taking the
place of these expensive carriages
comes with a shock of surprise Most
people have believed that the horse
would have to go because of the auto,
but for the first time some one calls
attention to the fact that the carriage
will go with him.

AS an illustration of methods of soil
culture. a Mclean county farmer finds
that in two fields. separated only by
a hedge fence, the corn yield in one
is 80 bushels per acre by actual
weight, while in the other it is but 40
bushels. The field with the large yield
has been in pasture for several years,
while the other has been farmed TO
wheat, oats and corn successfully for
10 years The results are apparent.

WHY WE ARE IN YOUR CITY.

A number of the more skeptical ask
the reason of Grinnen Bros invasion
OF Calumet and vicinity with a car sale
of High Grade Pianos. That the public
may thoroughly understand the case.
we wish to state that during the past
few years this concern has acquired
a large number of splendid prospective
piano buyers i'm this section, many of
whom find it somewhat difficult to Wis

matter of special accommodation to
these people. as well as others and
plan which has been successfully
adopted by this Music House, to dis
pose of goods of their own manufac-
ture and eliminate all possible expense
to the purchaser. Grinnell Bros. have
conceived this novel idea of bringing
their products almost to the doors of
the Calumet and vicinity buyers. The
company's car is located at the Min
eral Range r. r. side track at the foot
of Oak street, Red Jacket, and while
the exterior of the car presents but
little more I'm general appearance than
an ordinary car, the interior has been
so arranged as to appear as inviting
as a well regulated salesroom. bril-
liantly lighted by electricity and COM
fortably heated. During our stay In
the city, during the past few days as
well as in other places, the ear sale
idea has proven success far beyond
all expectations and the manner i'm
which the piano buying public and
former prospects have availed them

has been decidedly pleasing. The car
contains a number of Grinnell Bros
own productions which are being dis
posed of at manufacturers prices and
on easy terms, and are worthy Of in
spection at any time during the hours
between a. m. and 9 p. m. Among
other advantages to customers is the
