Some seyen or eight curs of a freight

It id said that to furnish the Sunday
edition of one of New York's largest
papers it requires the product of twenty-
seven acres of wood to make tbe paper
with which to print its enormous out
put. At this rate, how long will it be
before our forests are denuded of their
timber?
An exchange remarks: "The news
paper is a law-book for the indolent, a
sermon for the thoughtless, a library
for the poor, and an udmouisber to the
lawless. It may stimulate the most in
different) it may instruct the most pro
found, but it cannot be publshed with
out cost and mailed tree to subscribers."
F. W. Wakefield obtained a deed to

the leading local druggist, has taken the
agncy for the remedy, and in a short
time hit shelves will contain a large con
ignmptit. Be sure and look for the
Lincoln Tea window display, and don't
fail to get a free sample. A feature of

be two beautiful busts of the greatest
president yet, and these busts will be
seen in Mr. Dounell's ttore.
A brand new farce comedy is an
nounced for this city next week nnder
the title of "A Wise Guy." Mr. Cohan
is sai l to have constructed a right mer

ment : At Galesbnrg 1000 men are for

than himself. In spite of the favor that
bad been shown to Mr. Bryan he
abandoned his command in order to
hasten to Washington to secure tbe rati
fication of the Spanish treaty, when, as
subsequent events have proved, his sole
object and intent was to make tbe re
sults of tbe ratification of the treaty a
political issue that be calculated would
boost him into the presidency.

Dr. J. H. Hollender, treasurer of the
island of Porto Rico, and formerly as
sociate professor of economics of the
Johns-Hopkins University, delivered an
address to graduate students of the uni
versity a few evenings since, on the
condition of the Island. After describ
ing the manner of government and the
conditions of local self-government, he
said :
"Tho condition of affairs Is hopeful,
and everywhere the best element of the
island is rallying to the support of Mr.
McKinley's administration. The feel
ing is growing among the people that
the administration is doing its best to
benefit the islai.d. What Porto Rico
needs is an Intelligent appreciation of
the real conditions of AmericuiB. I do
not now ttiink that nn intelligent roan
could feel that the Porto Rico tariff was
anything but a necessary fiscal device.
We need $2,01)0,000 for the island if we
are to accomplish anything. The alter
natives of the tariff law were either a
subsidy from the United States or else
the pauperization of the island. At the
present time if the alternatives were
presented of deriving th necessary
money from direct taxation or from the
tariff, the decision would be overwhelm
ingly in favor of the tariff. The discon
tent that once existed was caused by
the delay that occurred in taking any
action at all."

The extent to which wages in the
United States have advanced in the past
few years is one of the marvels of the
time. Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United
States commissioner of labor, has just
got out a bullttlu which makes a com
parison of tbe wages in 192 occupations
for the past few years. The average
rate of 1S91 Is taken as a basis, and is
put at tbe figure 100. On this basis the
wages in these employments was down
to 99.32 in 1893, and to 97.88 in 1S95.
The average was up to 101.54 in 1899,
and it Is at the 103.43 mark in 1900.
The basis of comparison makes a
rather rigid test fur the present time.
for 1391, with which comparison ia
made, was a year in which tbe repub
lican party was in power, and the
country was at a high level of -prosper
ity. When the democratic panic came
in 1303, however, as a consrquence of
the democratic victory in the presiden
tial canvass of 1892, the wae level, of
course, went down, ami it was at its
lowest point around 18'15 and lS9t, the
latter being the year of Bryan's financial
re'gn of terror. An advance came just
as soon as tl.e republicans won in the
latter part of that year, and the tendency
has Keen upward ever since.
