The cause of Woman’s suffrage hAs just made a big advance in Illinois. A law has been passsd which permits women to vote at all township elections.

Although Carter Harrison, the regular democratic nominee for mayor, was elected in Chicago, last week, the. elections through the state oE Illinois, generally, resulted very favorably for the Republicans. Their gains in the towu and lowusliips were remarkable, all over tne state.. In Kansas, too, the Republicans have matte wonderful gains.'

Hon. W. D. Owen, the first occupant of the office of Superintendent of Immigration, was previously chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, and made the subject of immigration a special study. He was thus specially well fitted for the peculiar jduties of the position. His successor, Hon. Herman Stump, was a member of the same committee of which Mr. Owen was chaiiman, and later became its chairman. It may therefor fairly be assumed that Mr. Owen has in Mr. Stump, an efficient successorHad Mr. Stump’s most prominent opponent for the position, the Hon. D. H. Patton, of Remington, received the appointment he might have proved efficient, but there has certainly been nothing in his previous official career to entitle him' beforehand, to the supposition that he would. It must in fact, be admitted, that, in choosing his appointee for this office,- Mr. Cleveland’s choice has, to all appearances, fallen upon the fittest man. A not altogether common occurrence in this administration, by-the-way.

John E. Risley, the newly appointed Minister to Denmark, was an officer and au active member of the treasonable organizations in the North during the war. The evidence which shewed his connection with them convicted the detW dfrntF, arrd- the-tleat h penalty was imposed. % H. H. Dodd, one of the men mentioned intimately with Risley, was arrested at the same time but made his escape during the trial through a window in the government building. The Terre Haute Express publishes the following letter in its' possession showing Risley’s interest in and connection with the matter;

New York. Aug. 8, I.SG4. H. H. Dodd, Esq., Indianapolis: My Dear Sir: -Hunt <fc Co. have played the devil, according to reports. Does he attempt to implicate auy of our friends, and it atf'cct our people in any degree? Can Morton overawe our people by tiis military organizations? I have read with deep interest the merger newspaper reports of affaiis in our State, and am anxious to learn more. Write to me if you can find leisure. Direct to care of Thomas Parker & Co., 49 Wall street. Very truly yours John E. Risley.

MILLIONAIRES AND POOR MEN.

H arvard College appears to have become a center of pessimism, for every voice that comes from there brings some warning of the 6vils awaiting us in the future, resultant ujxiii our recent strides in money-getting. Colonel T. W. Higginson, in a recent speech at Cambridge, after portraying to his learned neighbors the ills we suffer from our Tariff system, said: } 4, i remember when I was a boy i* mil ridge that there was but

one man in Massachusetts who was ever suspected of such a thing as being a "millionaire, John P. Cush* ing, of Watertown, an east India man. It seemed so hard a thing to believe that any man could be worth a million dollars that I remember it being discussed: ‘ls it aupposahle that a man could be worth a million dollars?’ That was half a century ago. I ask yotMvhat is a million dollars now? Genteel poverty. A man may keep up appearances on it, but he is sympathized with by his friends, who have Teally got some sympathy for him on account of -his not having a better income.” We heard of Colonel Higginson’s speech through a spinner of Fall River, who pertinently remarks: “I too can remember when millionaires were scarce in this country. At that time I followed a pair of mules thirteen hours a day for $5 a week. Now spinners on fine work, since the recent advance in wages, can earn S2O in a week of fifty- eight hours.” How strange that such otherwise able men should so misinterpret the tendency of the times! Colonel Hlgginson ought to know that when employers were poor labors were poorer; when rich men were few civilization was low. Once everybody was poor.” Then a few became well off, then a larger number, and to-day every body is better off than once the few were. Instead of deploring this tendency we should in every way encourage it, that ‘the poor may. no longer be with us. —The Social Economist for- J anuary.

Keep Up the Fight.

New York Press:—Governor McKinley was emphatically right when in his manly and inspiring address at Canton he declared: ‘‘There is no cause for discouragement on our part. We have but to move on with our old-time vigor yieldiug nothing of principle. As Mr. Lincoln said Nov. 19,1858: ‘This, fight must go on. The cause must not surrender at the end of one or even a hundred defeats.” This is good common sense, good patriotism, and good republicanism. The Republican party is far more likely to ivin the next Presidential election than it would have been if the result of the last contest at the polls had been a division of responsibility in the Federal Government between the two parties. In the completeness of the Democratic victory lies the assurance of future Democratic defeat. Governor McKinley pointed out the dilemma in which the Democratic leaders now find themselves when he said ; “They have -no divided responsibility. There is no longer any room for hypocrisy. If they believe in themselves and their professions of thirty years they can now make them effective.”

The combination of greed and un-American ideas of intolerant Bourbous and corrupt rings that constitute the Democratic party is powerless to govern a great Nation. Its ouly power is the power to obstruct and destroy. When the Nation was far smaller and less important than it is today democracy was driven from the helm because of its treachery and incapacity. The statemanship needed to conduct successfully the affairs of the United States, with its 65,000,000 people and its vast array of magnificent industries created by protection, does not exist among the rapacious politicians of the democracy. Bonrbonism / and bossism can check the progress of the nation, degrade its currency, disgrace the flag, and condemn its hundreds of thousands of wellpaid workingmen to pauper wages and pauper homes. But these dominant Democratic forces can not continue to rule.

The Republican party has only to be true to its principles and steadfast in its opposition to Democratic policy to achieve victory in 1896. The Nation that has marched so far in the field of progress will not consent to retrograde in obedience to Democratic demands. Four years of Democratic blundering, dishonesty, and hostility to American principles will

disgust the nation with democracy as effectually as it was disgusted thirty years ago. The motto for Republicans was put in a characteristically concise form by President Harrison the tother day: “Keep on fighting.”

ABOUT CORN RAISING.

Bulletin 43 of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment Station contains information of interest and importance concerning corn and sugar beets as grown in Indiana. The following are some of the important points regarding corn, brought out in the bulletin; The earliest planting of corn has given an average yield of about two bushels more per acre than any other planting, and over 12 bushels more than the last, planting. The highest average yield has been obtained from the thickest planting, (stalks about eleven inches apart in the drill-row); but if the crop is to be husked it will be better to have the stalks twelve to fourteen inches apart. The average results of a two years’ experiment indicates the desirability of deep plowing for corn. Shallow cultivation of corn has given better results than either medium or deep cultivation. Shallow running corn cultivators have produced higher average yields than those which deeply stir the soil.

A judicious rotation of crops, involving grains and grasses, lias produced average yields of corn 18 per cent., of wheat 37 per cent., and of oats 41 per cent, larger than continuous grain growing. Stable manure has produced far better, and far more lasting effects on the yield of corn than commercial fertilizers. In experiments thus far, applications of commercial fertilizers to corn have generally proved unprofitable. Moderate applications of stable manure to corn have produced almost as good yields of corn for the first year as heavy dressings. Stable manure has seldom returned a profit from its use the first year, but the aggregate increase in yield of the several crops benefitted has generally been sufficient to insure handsome profits.

Flouring Mills on the Increase.

Indianapolis Journal: Mr. Nordyke, of the firm of Nordyke & Marmon, says that at no time in the history of the works have they been more busy, and one striking* feature of the situation is the large number of new mills which are being erected in this state, and the remodling of old mills which is going on. The new mills vary in capacity from seventy five to two hundred barrels per day. The company is now building two 125 barrel mills to go to Rensselaer, one 150 barrel mill for Montezuma, and a seventy five barrel mill for Cayuga. Among the mills m process of remodeling, one Is at Lafayette, another at Martinsville, and several other points were mentioned. Mr. Nordyke says every few years a tidal wave for building flouring mills passes over Indiana, and the experience is much the same as this year. Meantime their business in other states of the union and in fore ign countries is keeping pace with former years.
