The elections are approaching. The peo.
pie Will soon have to pass upon the conduct OF
their representatives in congress. The anti
slavery cry Is not as potent as it was. Its rep
etition actually serves to increase the number
of those who care nothing for parties, yet ey-
erything for the union
We do not believe that one half of the re.
publicans in the present house of representa-,
tives who have exhibited such an unremittipg
determination to make this war war for the
abolition of slavery, and nothing else, will be
reelected. Their places will be filled by con.
servative men; indeed it is more than proba.
BILE that majority Of the next house will be
democratic.
We speak these things because we are H.
dependent observers of events. We speak
OF facts, caring nothing which party may be
injured or benefited by them. The insane
and everlasting cry of slavery, has driven
thousands of republicans into that conservat-
ism which if choice comes between a man
Wild on the subject of emancipation, and a
democrat, will make them prefer the latter

will be 1.-The Great Western Coal Fields. "
To those who are interested in the advance
ment Of science, or in the material interests
Of our city and county, these lectures will al,
ford rich fund of interest and instruction.
Prof. Wilber's life has been devoted to the
science of geology, and the state Of Illinois is
more indebted to him for the development Of
her wonders Of geology, mineralogy and nat
ural history, than to any other man. lie has
collected the largest and finest museum of &c
ology and natural history in the Mississippi
valley, comprising more than SIXTY thousand
specimens, and valued at tpenty thousand dot,
lars. This museum occupies two large halls,
in the Normal University at Bloomington,
and "has been dedicated free .forerer to the
citizens and the schools Of Illinois"
Our citizens will need no urging to induce
them to attend this course of lectures, for in.
telligent men or women cannot be 50 blind to
their own interests as to neglect to hear
scientific lectures when they are given freely
in our midst.
The subject Of the lectures will be announc-
ed from time to time, as they are decided up.

On Wednesday large party of gentlemen
from the city will accompany the professor to

If the people of this state will stop and as
terrain who are opposing the new constltu-
ion, and their motive in doing 50, they will
discover that the real issue is the old issue
of antagonism between the interests of the
great masses of the people and the special
favor Of corporations. and nonopolies. All
the corporations, all the stumptail swindlers,
are against it, because it protects and Sc
cures the rights of the laboring and produ-
cling class, and will be in the way of the ma.
chnery by which they impose upon and cheat
the people. 1t is the old fght--monopol
corporations and swindles, on one side; the
people, protecting themselves on the other.
The issue should not be doubtful.

Death of WIN. H. Polk.

n We are panied TO announce the death
of the Hon. VIM ii. Polk, of Columbia,
Maury county, Tennessee. Mr.. Polk had
just returned from the North and reached
this city, and was stopping at the St.
Cloud Hotel. He died after a brief ILL.,
ness, at 2 o'clock, night before last. His
death was sudden and wholly unexpect-
ed. Mr.. Polk was native of North
Carolina, and was the youngest full bro
ther of the Ex-President, JAMES X. POLK.
He was lawyer by profession, but of
late years mingled in State and national
politics, filling several honorable positions
in the State. He was, in 1914, charge q
oBaiYes at Naples. He had been promi-
nent in the Democratic party of the State,
and, in years gone, had participated in
the political conflicts Of the day.
He was elected by the people of Maury

consideration the question OF the Seces-
sion of Tennessee. This Convention
never met lie became the Conservative
candidate against IsHAM G. HARRIS for
Governor in 1861, having previously served
in the Legislature of the State, and in the
Congress of the United States. Mr.. Polk
was no less distinguished in the social
circle, genial, warm hearted, eminently
social, he was much beloved by his
i friends. lie leaves a wife and children

who will deeply lament his loss, and

and his counsels. l in ntH
