The winter wheat crop is report- ad to be almost a failure in Illinois. Congressmen are having a good ‘easy time. The House meets twice -2, week and adjourns. Burglars entered the post office at Wevada Saturday night. They were aet paid for their trouble as they se- sured but very little of value. Severe cold weather and snow storms have prevailed in England and Scotland, the past week. Fruit has been badly damaged. The tariff bill, if passed, may eceate a surplus in the United States ¢reasury, but it will never inflate the -country with better times and bring along the promised prosperity. Russia has called a halt in the war between Greece and Turkey and hostilities have ceased. The demand for indemnity asked of Greece by ‘Turkey will not be granted by the Powers. eee ee An advance of 3 to 8 cents per ‘pound on tea has been made in pror- pect of the passage of the tariff.

He stuck his pitchfork in the sugar thogshead in his speech the other day and aroused the members by the statement that some of them had ‘been speeulating in sugar and inti- mating that they had been biased in egislation by that fact. He asked an inquiry. “The immigration bureau at Wash- ‘ington gives out the statement that there has been a marked falling off in the number of intmigrants to this country during the nine months past. For the good of the laboring ‘men of this country it would bave ‘been much better if foreign immi gration had ceased altogether years ‘ago. Twenty two thousand tailors are ‘out on a strike in New York. The men assert that their families are starving at the wages paid. The dispatches state that the etrike is ‘spreading to cther cities and that other trades will take up the cause of the tailors and no tellivg what the end will be. ~. Mathew M.

Atkeson, in the Free Prees, enters into a diatribe against the county court for awarding the county print- ing to democratic papers, at one- fourth of what it is actually worth be paid. the printing of the financial state- ment to the Times and Review. This was but following the practice of the court for several years, of elter- nating between the democratic papersin this cty and Rich Hill, at a price ridiculously low. It will be remembered that the popu liste,of which Mr. Atkesoa claims to be the genuine article, captured the county court, together with the other county offices, a few years ago, on the retrenchment and reform cry. A democratic court previous to that had been letting this same financial statemeat to the Democrat and Trwes at 50 cents per square. The populist court awarded it to the Record and Free Press, (then the Union) at 80 cents per square, or 30 cents more than the work had been previously done for. Is it consistent for the Free Press to come in now and play the baby act? Another of Mr Atkeson’s prem- ises is wrong. The county court did not ask for bids for this printing. We understand one member of the court did request a deputy sheriff to notify all the papers that bids would be received, but this was over the protest of the other two members, and it is generally conceded that a majority constitutes the court.

The samo can be said of Judge Graves. They were supported earnestly and enthusiastically by democratic papers and bitterly op posed by the Butler Fre Press. It ie, and always bas been, in every political party, from national to county, that to the “victors belongs the spoils.” As we'l might the pure Mr. Atkeson find fault with Messrs.

Washington, D C, May 17.—The President tc-day sent the following message to Congres:: To the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States: Official information from our Con suls in Cuba establishes the fact that a large number of American citizens on the ieland are in a state of destitu- tiop, sufferiog for want of fuod and medicines. This applies particularly to the rural districts of the central and eastern parts. The agricultural classes have been forced from their farms into the nearest towns, where they are without work or money. Tie local authorities of the several towns, however kindly disposed, are unable to relieve the needs of their owa people, and are altogether pow erless to help our citizens. The latest report of Consul Gen- eral Lee esiimates that six to eight hundred Americans are without means of support. I have assured him that provision would be made at once to relieve them To that end I recommend that Congress make an appropriation of not less than $50, 000, to be immediately available for use under the direction of the Secre- tary of State. It is desirable that any sum which may ba appropriated by Congress should, in the discretion of the Secretary of State. be used for the transportation of American citizens, who, desiring toreturn to the United In awoman’s physical life there are many crit- \ical periods; times of change and transition ; of “crossing over’ from one stage of de- velopment to another ; from girlhood to wo- manhood, to wifehood, and motherhood ; and again when maternity ceases. These are pe- tiods of danger if not hedged proper safeguards At these times any weakness or derange ment of the feminine organism is liable to have serious conse- quence. It is not safe to neglect the earliest symptoms of such trouble. Any woman tain free of States, are without means to do so. Witt McKisiey Execu'ive Mansion, May 17, 1897. Following the reading of the mee. sage, Mr. Davis of Minnegota, Chair man of the Committee on Foreign Relations, favorably reported, with amendments, the resolution intro duced by Mr Gallingerlast Thursday appropriating $50.000 for the relief of destitute citizeas of the United States in Cuba. The resolution wgs then put on its passage, and, without division, it passed unanimously, there being no response to the call for the nays. It had taken exactly cighteen minutes for the reading of the message, the presentation of the committee report, who would bid it off at a much low er price. Mr. Atkeson dozs not deny that the price at which the work is con- tracted is low, ridiculously low, but his sole contention is that a demo cratic court did not permit a paper that had opposed, maligned and vil lified them at all timee, to come in and capture the few pluns it has to distribute. It even found fault with the court for appointing a democrat justice of the peace to fill a vacancy in Summit township. We make the contention, that the court availed itself of the very best proposition before them in award ing the statemeat, when circulation is considered, and we defy Mr. At keson to show to the contrary. _ WOMEN ‘WAVE THE RED SHIRT. They Revive Bitter Prejudices at the G. A. R. Encampment. Warrensburg, Mo., May 15.— From the oblivion that is popularly supposed to sfford concealment, the ugly red shirt was dragged forth during the G. A. R. encampment being held here, and for a brief but stormy spell it was waved furiously, moreover, effectively. This revival prejudice was not caused by the vet erans who did the fighting, but by the women. The incident happened just prior to the regular meeting of the Woman’ Press association, which is now being held in this city. The committee of local managers had ar ranged for a banquet for the associ- ation. The Woman's Relief corps had also planned a banquet, and the Prees association people, thinking a joint banquet would prove an enjoy- able affair, propesed to the Relief corps that the two feasts should be made into one big love feast. It looked at first as though the propo- sition would meet with a sisterly re ception, when a black, ominous cloud suddenly appeared. The obstacle was insurmountable. Several members of the Relief corps remembered that the Woman's Press association numbered ex-Confeder ates on its rolls, and that settled it. The sisterly proposition was reject- jed on that ground and affiliation be came impossible. The incident cre ated considerable of a ripple at the dime, and efforts were made to with- hold it from the press. the brief speech and final passage of the message M2 BAILEY OBJECTS. In the House Mr. Hitt of Illinois asked for the immediate considera- tion of a bill to appropriate $50,000 for the relief of destitute Americans in Cuba, but Mr. Bailey of Texas said that te must object uvless an amendment embodying Senator Mor gan’s resolution for recognition of the ineurgents be added. Mr Ding- ley objected to the amendment, whereupon Mr. Bailey objected to the bill and the Cuban question was side tracked. The Democrats of the House have formed a plan which may force the House to a vote on the question of recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans. If Mr. Hitt’s bill for an appropriation of $50,000 for relief of American citizans is called up agair, Mr. Bailey will offer Senator Morgan’s reeolution for recognition of belligerency. If, as is reported. the committse on rules reports a special rule for the consideration of the bill, which will prevent amend- ments, as was done with the tariff bill, he will present a minority report from the committee on ruies which will permit amendments to the bill and will insist on a vote on thej minority report. The Republican leaders say that the President's message presents a business question which they do not wish to complicate with the question of recognition. Pure Blood means sound health.
