VOLUME XXXIV.

At an end. The long struggle in Illinois is at an end. The struggle closed last Wednesday at 11:30 a. m., when the two sturdy farmers, Moore and Cockrell, came to the relief of the one hundred and one true and tried Democrats who had stood .by the choice of the people of the state of Illinois for the last six weeks. While this has been one of the longest seiges for the election of a United States senator that is yet on record, the Democrats stood squarely by John M. Palmer; While this adds another senator to the Democratic host, and with the election of a President in 1892, we will still lack three senators of enough to control the entire enactment of federal laws.

If a man dies.gets married or does some great thing in his or so nobody pise's esli mation. it is expected thnt his local papt r will give him a send off, comn’ensurate with the importance of the deed, but if he gets d unk, or is caught in some cowardly mean trick, he expects that same paper will, for his patronage, vyhich ipay he an unpaid subscription reaching back many years, be as silent as the tomb. \

The lodge starts out with very bright prospects and has a membership of twenty-two ladies and ten gentlemen. As some arrests have been made of Safe for violations oi law, such as drunkeness and keeping saloons open on Sunday, those having the matter in charge sav that it is not done for the purpose of persecuting any one. but that the law must be observed. While our statutes provide that saloons shall be closed from eleven o'clock p. m. until five o’clock a. m. and on Sundays and legal holidays those granted license to sell liquor should be careful to observe the law, and there will be no trouble about being prosecuted. While some arc always on the lookout to see who they can find in a position that they can annoy them, the only way to do is to keep strictly within the law and. then no trouble can arise from meh a. cause. .
