Public Career OF stephen A. Douglas.

Public Career OF stephen A. Douglas.
Senator Douglas was born in Vermont, in
April 1918, and moved to Illinois in 1888,
where he entered upon the practice of law.
His warm devotion to Democratic principles
brought him at once into favor with his party,
which, added to his legd acumen and fine
torical powers induced the Legislature to elect
him States Attorney at the session Of l834-'35.
In this office he the unbounded confidence
Of the public, and established upon firm foun-
daton the great fame which has followed him
through his whole subsequent career His
competitor for the office was Col. John j. Har-
din, at that time renowned as great lawyer,
and afterwards as a member of Congress, and
one of the heroes who fell at Buena Vista.
In 1886 he was elected to the Legislature from
Morgan county, at that time, and now, one of
the most populous counties in Illinois, and
numbering among its population some of the
most distinguished men in the State. In this
position he immeasurably added to the brilliant
name he had previously acquired.
In 1887 he was appointed Register of the
United States Land office.
In 1888, when he was only twenty five years
of age, he was nominated for Congress by the
Democratic party. He took the stump
against an able competitor, and was defeated
by only fve votes, in district which gave
at the next election Wing majority of over
three thousand, in regular party contest
In 1910 he was appointed Secretary of State.
In 1841 he was elected one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court of the State, in which ca
pacity he performed both Circuit and Supreme
Court duties in manner which gave complete
satisfaction to the people. His decisions, with
out exception, both in the inferior and superior
court, were marked by profound learning and
quick and correct conception Of the merits
presented.
In l843, he was elected to Congress by 45O
majority, in the Quincy district, over most
popular competitor-the district at that time
being considered by the Wings as their own.
In 1874, he was reelected to Congress by
more than 900 majority.
In 1896 he was again elected by more than
1900 majority.
At the session of 1861 he was elected to
the United States Senate for six years, the ac-
ceptance of which vacated his seat in the House
of Representatives.
Though young in years, he is old in expert
ence.

WAR AGAINST HArs.-The Austrian authori-
ties have commenced a war against republican
hats, as in some parts of Italy they have done
against boards. During the revolution of 1913,
round-top, broad brim hats, of the present Cal
ifornia pattern, and such as are everywhere
worn by travellers in stage-coaches and dill
gences, were common in that region, under the
name of republican hats" These hats, which
are cheap and convenient, have recently at
tracted the attention of the Austrian police, and
they have been denounced as singularity bear
ing the impress of provoking arrogance not to
! be tolerated.
