CLAUDE MATTHEWS. , \... . .s ——■ Os Interest to Democrats. There are two new books that every Democr.it who wants to keepup with the times will need to read. Both books are by C. R. Tuttle, an experienced newspaper man. - One is Democrat Gosi’iu It contains President Cleveland's famous J “sound money” letter, W. 11. Harvey’sopen letter in reply, comments of leading newspapers and public < men, a history' how silver was de- i monetized and the effects, arguments for restoring the double , standard, a chapter by C S. Dar- | row on “Silver and Debt," and ' J. Bryan’s great speech at the l Chicago convention. This book is-j warmly endorsed by Governor Alt— ; geld. Judge -McConnell, Chairman i Hinrichesen, Ex-Congressman Bryan of Nebraska and other Demo- j - - cratic leaders. It contains 188 | handsomely printed pages, aud is; now ready. I’he other book is entitled ‘‘lllinois Currency Convention,” and will bwpubli'slied June 10th, immediately after the adjournment of the convention at Springfield, Mr. Tuttle has been designated by the Illinois State Democratic Central Committee to write ami publisb'the official report of the proceedings ofi this convention, which will mark j an important epoch in the history of j the United States. The book will; contain about 200 pages. By a special arrangement with j Charles 11. Kerr & Company, of) Chicago, the publishers of these; books, we can supply them to our subscribers for 25 .cents a copy by mail or at our office. For $1.75 we will send the Weekly Democrat one year and the two books. Dun's Report for the Week Ending, Jii lie 15th. It is no longer a question whether j business improves. The most potent; influence has been the recipt of I more favorable advices regarding j growing crops. Even official statements helped, because altogether! less gloomy than previous rumors. | Labor troubles are getting out of the way, wages in many establish ments are with the iron ! industry 'just now leading, there is j general, improvement in manufactures. Monetary conditions also i help. The time draws near when,i with good crops, exports will bring gold Either, and though foreign ' operations,in stocks and bonds have | been insignificant this week, the! effect of previous transactions has not been exhausted.. Much dimin-j ifffied receipts of..money from the J interior indicate better employment ; ijp, business, especially at the West, and the volume of commercial loans steadily rises, and is now fair for this season even in a good year.* The government crop report is so much less-dismal than wa< expected’ -that it reallv fora time a host of calamitous rumors, j The decidedly cheering outlook for spring wheat, which our own and other private advices confirm, goes far Jo balance reports of loss in winter wheat regions, arid even these, in the light of the strated deficiency of official returns of acreage, were - found, far more encouraging than previous accounts.

After ransacking the place the thieves left, no doubt, m disgust, as there was no cash 10 be found. Friday while the agent and operator of the C. E. railroad Were at dinner, someone broke open the door leading from the waiting room to the ticket office, and stole $22.28 in cash from the money drawer. The thieves were evidently after cash, as no tickets or anything else was disturbed. The sheriff, marshal and all other kinds of deputies are looking after the thieves. But up to time of going to press noth ing but “clews” could be captured. The fact is, our city has been overrun with tramps and bums the last few weeks, and for the protection of our citizens the council should provide some means to prevent these vagabonds from stopping inside the city limits.

The atmospheric delusion known as St. Elmo's fire, or St. Elmo’s light, gets its name from a curious old legend of St. Adelelm, who, having started one dark and stormy night, to visit the bishop nf Auvergne, lighted a candle to guide him on the way. It was wholly unprotected by anything like a covering; but, notwithstanding the fact that the wind blew furiously and the rain fell in torrents, “it continued to burn with a bright and steady flame. ” The news of this miraculous occurrence soon spread in all Catholic countries and soon found place in the monkish manuscripts, where it was declared that the good Adelelm must have really been attended by St Elmo and his fire. —St. Louis Republic
