What a monumental gall it re--quircs to speak of the McKinley bill as a war tariff, and what unfathomable stupidity is required for believing those who so characterize it. Under the McKinley dsriffffiuehTnofe fhan half of the total value of imports into this country will pay no duty at all, and among these free articles are those universal necessities, tea, coffee, and sugar,- all of which paid a high duty in war times. “A war tariff thirty years after the war!” And yet the revenue that sixty-three millions of people will pay to the government under the McKinley law will not equal, by half, that which twenty millions paid in 1804. The real war tariff yielded at least six times as much revenue per capita of the population who paid it as will the McKinley bill.

A Great American Magazine

THE SUCCESS OF ‘ THE CENTURY” AND ITS I’LAXS FOR 1891. Tick Century Magazine is now so well known that to till of its past success seems almost an old story. The i N. Y. Tribune has said that it and its companion, St. Nicholas for Young, Folks, issued by the same house, ‘‘are ! read by every one person in thirty ot ; the country’s population,”—and large editions ot both are seat beyond tne softs. It is an interesting fact that a , few years ago it was found that seven i thousand copies of The Century went ! to Scotland.—quite a respectable edi-1 tion in itself. The question in England i is no longer “Wlioo.reads an American book?” but ••Who does not see the American magazines?” A few years ago The Century about! doubled with the caißOUs j A :;r Papers, by General Grant and others, adding many more readers later with the Lincoln History and Kennan’s thrilling at ticles., on the Siberian Exile System. One great feature of 1891 is , to be ~ - - L

THE GOLD HUNTERS OF CALIFORNIA.” ■U j-i’i iliiug that remarL-ahln niOvefhetlL I<> the gold fields in ’49. in a series of rrtdily illustrated articles written by mi. vLy. is, j: eluding the narratives of min who went to Cawiuruia by the different routes, accounts of the gold discoveries, life in the mines, the work of the vigilance committees (by the chairman of the committees) etc., etc. Genera* Fremont’s last writing was done for this series. in November appears the opeuing article,’“The First Emigrant Train to California,”—crossing Ihe llockifes in 1841, —by General Bidwell, a pioneer of pioneers. Thousands of American families who had some relative or friend among s 'the Argonauts of ’49” will be interested in these papers. MANY OTHER GOOD THINGS ARE COMING, the narrative of an American’s travels through, that unknown land Tibet (for 7W miles over ground never before trod by a white, niaun the experiences of escaping War-Prisoners; American Newspapers described by well known journalists; accounts of the great Indian Fighters, Custer and others; personal anecdotes ol Lincoln, by his private secretaries; “The Faith Doctor,” a novel by Edward Eggleston, with a wonderfully rich programme of nov- . .Lle,ldy&„.and..sUir,ito.my..inost of thedead-

ing writers, etc., etc. It is also announced, that The Cen tpry has purchased the right to print, before its appearances in France or any other country, extracts from advance sheets of the famous Talleyrand Memoirs, which have been secretly preserved fora hall century—to.be tirst given, to the world through the pages of an American magazine. All Europe is eagerly awaiting the publication of this personal history of Talleyrand greatest of intriguers and diplomats. The November Century begins the volume, and new subscribers should commence with that issue. The price ($4.00) may be remitted directly to the publishers. The Century Co., 83 East 17th St, New York, or single copies may be purchased of any newsdealer. The publishers offer to send a free sample copy- a recent back number—to any one desiring it. >

Railroad with its appendage, the Chicago dc Indiana j Coal Road, will soon pass into the ! hands of the “Big Four” or the ( Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. ; Louis. This last road has now no entrance into Chicago, except over Illinois Central from Kankakee, 111., and the acquisition of these other lines would let them into, the city in good shape, and otherwise immensely | increase thc-ir business facilities. The population of Indiana is now 2,183,030. This is an increase since 1880 0f_210,72!1. In relative rank of population Indiana has slipped a couple of notches since 1880. She was then number six in the list, but . must now be content with the eighth place. -The states which have crowded her down are Massachusetts, which was seventh in 1880, and Texas which : was the eleventh, that year. New IXork is still first and Pennsylvania , second, but Ohio, which, was third ten years ago, has had to take a tumble and give place to Illinois. That overgrown loafer of a state, Texas, is now seventh in the list and is liable to keep right on until it reaches the very head of the possession.

the parties who have tlu> .contract for gettiug the rock out of the Kankakee fiver at Momence will have vast quantities of Crushed rock to sell next spring, at prices that will astonish the natives. Possibly here will be a chance for Rensselaer to get good street material cheap, but the chances are that, as the material to get to Rensselaer would have to be shipped over two the “Three I,” and the Monon, the freight would be so high as to preclude the economical use of the material here. In passing we would suggest to our brother of the Herald that he probably greatly over-esti-mates the value of erush&l stone as a street material when he says it will out-last gravel a dozen times over. We have before us the testimony of of a Joliet, 111., paper to the effect that.a recent trial of crushed stone there on a business street was a total failure, the stone grinding up into fine dust, resulting in deep mud in wet weather, in a few months. The crushed rook, according to the Joliet authority-, is excellent for residence streets but no good for streets that have to sustain a heavy traffic. The Joliet rock, it may be here added, is a limestone very similar to that at Momence, and not nearly so hard nor so valuable street material as would be the rock in the bed of the Iroquois river at Rensselaer.

Joe’s Last, Sad Words.

As I have sold my Gallery and trade to Mr. Williams, and wish to settle up my business; all persons having accounts with me, or pictures in the room, will please call and settle as soon as possible. I will remain in the room several weeks, in order to give you ample time. Everything must be squared up. I will not carry an account away with me. If you are not able to pay you can at least call and see me, bid me good-bye, wish me well, and I will make you a present of the account. There is a certain class 1 do not care to waste any more postage stamps upon by sending them statements. These same parties have met me on the street, when I would be carrying home a soup bone or a piece of liver, and coolly toss their heads and curl their noses, because their clothes were fine,while I must be content with I ‘hand me downs.” Ido not believe they have any more idea of paying me than I have of getting well of my lameness. To such I would say, that Jam Ist, 1891, their accounts will be placed on the backs of their photographs, and left in the bands of a collector. Thanking my many friends for their very liberal patronage. I am truly your most humble ser-
