The rain has pu farmers into good humor aud town peo pie rejoice accordingly. THE Shelby Leader pots it neatly In this language: "Last campaign the republican party was proposing to make us more prosperous by levying higher taxes This it proposes to make us richer bi making money scarcer and harder to get.

When tbe guests took colic afterwards they were certain tbe food ha been poisoned. THE bullion in a silver dollar in 1873 was worth $1 016. It was then stricken down and declined gradually until 1896 when It was worth but 53 cents. If reinstated tbe price is certain to go up and will likely again reach 91.

The silver dollar was cot a 50 cent dollar in 1873 and will not be a 50 cent dollar In 1897. Ir your neighbor is not a subscriber to the ISTEI.LIGK.NCKR this Is an opportune time to suggest to him to become one. A man can't keep thoroughly Informed on what is going on without reading the papers. The intelligent, up to date people the connty are almost without exception readers of the INTELLIGENCER; 104 papers a year for II 60. THE postal savings banks of Canada have on deposit more than 26 million dol iarg, while in Great Britain they have more than 825 million dollars.

The United States has no such system, but It is evident from the popularity of the plan in other countries that It would be a great success here. The advantage of the system over any other is that the gov eminent guarantees the repayment of deposits. THE first essential to a successful cam- campaign la thorough organization, Madison county democrats, excepting those of two or three townships, have had no organization tor a number of years. The first step toward organization Is work on systematic lines by the county commltteee. With the present committee the spirit Is willing bnt tbe body is weak.

The democrats must take it open themselves as individuals to carry the county in spite of the committee. THE Alton Republican Infers that "Interest in tbe money question Is beginning to subside," and "interest In protection is again forging to the front." A few weeks ago certain politicians started to make protection the issue, but the people took a hand themseives and made money the Issue and that is the question for settlement on election day. Whea one considers c-f what end the oilier fellows have hold It is not unnatural that they are anxious to let go and change to something else. THK official stenographer and prominent members of the democratic national convention cave had some difficulty in sett'mg whether any of the amendments offered by Senator HlH were adopted.

la tbe Adams county court, Tuesda; Judge C. Epler made a decision SUB talning the inheritance tax law passed the laat general assembly. The law pro Tides for a tax of 2 per cent on estate worth more than $20,000, but Is to paid only on the excess of that sum tha any heir receives. The case is Adam county was against tbe heirs of Adai Benton, of Mention, who were left au es tate of $250,000 or more. The heir raised no xcpt that the la was unconstitutional.

The decision I the first on the tax, although an applied tlon has been pending for some month la the Cook county court to assess th heirs to tbe estate of John Drake. Judge Epler's decision la voluminous In leading to tbe flaal statement holds that the tax is not a tax on proper ty, but a tax on the right or prhilege succession to property under the law The devolution of property by will is no a natural right, bnt one under Icgislatlv control, except as limited by the state federal constitution. The tax IB not a exemption, bnt It Is the application the taxing power to new objects of tax atlon, tbe privilege of succession. The economic effect of tbe tax ia distribute concentrated wealth and dls conrage immense fortunes In any on family. The decision, If sustained the higher courts, will be far reaching One of the Injustices of tba law In th state has been the facility with whic large estates escape their porpoitiona share of tbe expenses of governmen Numerous fligrsnt Instances have com to notice in Madison county, as a rule no nntll after tbe parties died and their es tales were administered.

Such case would be reached by an inheritance tax Country i Louis EepuWlc.) The statisticians have discovered In th recent German census an indication tha in Germany at least, there Is an apparen reaction from the rush of populatlo from the country to the cities. Daring the twenty years from 1870 1890 the population of thq cities grew enormously, while It was stationary decreased in tbe rural distrcts, A change however, was perceptible in the five year from 1885 to 1890 and in tbe five year from 1890 to 189S tbe growth ct popnla tlon In the rural districts was decided reaching tbe unusual rate of 4 per cen Perhaps the distinctive feature social development in the last half cen tnry has been the rapid inciease of th urban population. Tbe people hav flocked to the cities, drawn by the op portunitles for money making and for dl versified employment offered through tb growth of trade and manufactures, has seemed as If the farms would be de serted, sn Intense has been the eagernee of the young to get to the cities. If a reaction has really set in it will blessing to society. The glut of tb cities, with its consequent pauperism an the herding of human beings together i tenements, under conditions most favor able to the promotion of vice, crime an disease, has created the most difflcnl social problem that has taxed human in genulty.

If the people are beginning lo see th advantages of country over city life, tc recognize that frugal independence In cabin, with pare air and green earth an- trees and flowers fur surroundings, i preferable to the slavish treadmill of city life with brick and stone and street rub blah for landscape and a sardine box to a habitation, they have taken a long stej towards solid happiness. A family workers can make a living on a fair plec of ground a country with half tbe labor and twice the enjoyment they would have In the city. The truth is that the city Is an unpleasant necessity. It a place to work jut not a good place to live. When people and, as far as possible Ive accordingly, the condition of society morally, mentally and physically will be mproved.

Gold Boat Monpy Philip Gundlach, one of the large money loaners In Southern Illinois, and democrat, loaned August Hoepker, Clinton county, a few days ago, 84,750 at per cent.

We know that these gold bags are money loaners and delight In rtqnlr- ng the gold clause In the bnt fter next year, when silver coinage will free, tbe silver dollar will bo the equal the gold dollar and the money lenders will be too glad to accept the silver dol- ar in payment of the mortgage, and they won't eay a word about the gold clause ither.

It was tbe property of the Wiggins Ferry Company Some nervous Calroites are becoming alarmed over the apparent intention of the Mississippi river to cat through the land above the city and run Into the Ohio, either leaving Cairo an Island or throwing It over Into Missouri. It is claimed there Is only about 400 feet of land between the river and what Is known as Cache basin which empties Into tbe Ohio, and tbe river is still cutting.

The company's detective got in with them and gained their confidence and when they confessed to him their piano arrested them.
