have nlwnys boruo an unsavory roputntion and this donuncintlou from a democrat jo source shows thnt tho true condition has not leou overstated Tho date when Coin Harvey will con duct a ilnancfal school on a stooutowou basis in Norfolkhas again been changed and for tho third timoto August 18 The first announcement was that Coin would apeak hero on tho 17th but whon a cir cus was billod for that day democratic manngors hastened to ohango tho dato to tho Utth as thoy know CoiuH theo ries would not hold n crowd against tho greater attractions offered by tho olo pliant Now tho proposition

democratic county convention has also been revised to read August 18 Tho Chicngo Tribune gathorod roports from -50 towns as to tho casualties con nected with tho Fourth of July this yoar and some of

tho number of towns throughout tho country with their corrosiouling average of acci dents would certainly make an appall ing list It would probably far exceed tho losses of lifo limb and monoy which the late wnr cost us Every year soems to increaso tho number of casualties con nected with our national celobmtious until it will bocoino a day to bo dreaded unless tho Bpirit of youthful patriotism can tlud some less destructive niodo of expression than fireworks powder and toy cannons Young America will have to be called bowu In todays paper appears tho call for the republican county convention to bo held at Battle Greek on Soptoniber 10 which will place iu nomination candi dates to till the county otlices as follows Clerk of the district court county clerk county treasurer sheriff county judge superintendent of Bchools county sur veyor and county commissioner for tho first commissioner district In tho se lection of men to fill these important positions utmost care should be exer cised by the delegates to the convention to tee that only such are chosen as have the ooufldeuce and esteem not only of the party but of the people generally throughout the county There is every reason why the republicans should be successful in Madison county this year provided a strong tioket is placed iu the field To such an end a good founda tion should be laid nt the primaries by sending representative republicans who are more interested in the success of the party than of any individual as delegates to the county convention Speakiug of General Frederiok Fun- Eton the hero of Calumpit
