Chicago and Milwaukee Go Democratic.

Chicago, April 1. —The democrats made a clean sweep of all the offices in the three principal township elections held here to-day. The majorities vary from 200 to 4,500. The outgoing south town offieesholders are all republicans, and the north town|the same, with one exception. The west town officials were democratic and that party continues to contool. In the annexed towns the republicans maintain their lead by a narrow margin. Besides the fight for township tickets, candidates for city aldermanic honors contested at the polls. Complete returns shot tly before midnight showed decided democratic gains among the aldermen. The new board will be d mocratic, Standing 34 democrats to 31 republicans, with two independent democrats and one independent republican.

Milwaukee, April I.—The dem-, oerats elect George “ (bad boy) Peek mayor and their entire ticket by 5,000 majority. JJhe interest in the elections in Missouri, April Ist, eentered in the workings of the Australian system, this being the first election under the new law. Dispatches from various cities state that the system worked satisfactory to the majority of th 3 vot >rs, and was very successful in other respects. It will be remembered that the agents of the school book trust, including several prominent educators, declared before the legislature that the publishers made less than 5 per cent, profit. As the trust has announced its purpose of making a horizontal reduction of 25 per cei t in the price of school books after May 1, it is evident that the agents of the trust either deceived their friends, the republican members of the legislature, or they intend to sell their books 20 per cent, below cost. There is no doubt that this cut is c. ue to the Indiana school book law. But even with this reduction, the peonle of Illinois, Ohio and other trust-ridden states w.ll be compelled to pay 33 per cent, more for school books than their Indi ana neighbors.

Baron itowse, the joking Irish judge who died the other day, once told an American that it was better to have a small career in Ireland than a great one in England, because in Ireland when one said tansy things people understood

them, and that made life worth living. We now have the most complete, stock of shoes, of the best brands and styles, and most of them were bought at a clearance sale at onehalf price. Chicago Bargain Store.

The Philadelphia Press makes the statement that “coal-miners” wages in Germany have advanced 40 per cent in the last two years, just as English miners’ wages have advanced 35 per cent.” One company in the Ruhr territory publishes a scale of wages ranging from sl.lO to $1.19 per day. How is that for pauper labor? Less than two years ago the statement was made and not denied that miners in Pennsylvania were working for 60 to 80 cents a day. How long will it be before German mine operators will import pauper labor from tariff-bless-ed Pennsylvania under contract? Stocks, prices, terms are the big three in making and holding trade. Stockstalk! Prices win! Terms, one price for cash, show the secret of tow prices at.the Chicago Bargain Store.

\ According to high republican authority the whole num her of hands employed in producing thearticles “protected” by the McKinley bill is 1,777,000. If the tariff increased the wages of these employes 20 cents a day each on the average it would help them to the extent of less than $110,000,000 a year each. But the tariff costs the people more than twice that sum for revenue and more than five times the same sum for protection every year. But, what is even more io the purpose, the census shows that wages are lower in the protected than in the unprotected industries, in which about twelve out of every thirteen workers in the country are employed.

Philadelphia Times: A surplus strictly means “something left over.” Shortly it will be something over theleft. The Chicago Bargain Store is the pione- rjof low prices and deserves much credit and a share of the trade of every citizen of Jasper county. Boston Herald: So far eight postoffices have been named after Clarkson, five after Wanamaker, four alter Harrison, one after Morton, one after Dudley, one after Halford, and one after McGinty. Such is fame! The Chinese in San Jose, Cal., lease property from a white man for twelve months in the year, and charge their tenants for thirteen montns, there being thirteen months in the Ch’nese year. New York Herald: Mr. Allison is a man of sense He aees that the two-story and French roof tariff business is played out, so to speak, and that his party will go to speedy ruin unless it goes to low tariff duties. But can Mr. Allison swing the grand old party around bj the tail? That is just now the most interesting question in our home politics
