Congressman at Large.

Gov. Palmer having issued his proclama
ton ordering the election of Congressman
at large at the next November election, in
the place of John A. Logan, promoted" to
the senate, it ID time the democrats were cast.
ing about for candidate, for, at time like
this, it would be hardly wise to let a Repub-
lican walk over the course alone.
The Democracy of the southern part of the
State, in advance, as they always are of the
democracy of the north in such matters, are
already moving, and, as We notice by the
Cairo City Times and Mound City Journal. are
out in favor of r. E. GooDELL as the candid
ate. The former journal, Ill well written
article, after favoring the call of convention,
proceeds
The trouble is, there is no available candidate.
The old stagers won't do, and the old stagerS would
not like to see new man step to the front. We
must, therefore, if We nominate at all, 90 out of
the old rut and look after a new man and if we
do, there is not in our opinion, a more available
man than Mr.. r. Z. GooDELL,. Of SPRINGFIELD. He
is well known in every part Of the state and wher-
ever known is exceedingly popular. Always de-
mocrat, he has never been identified with any of
the obnoxious "rings" which, in the past afflicted
the party. tie would, therefore, receive the undi-
vided party vote, and We have reason to believe
would also receive large republican vote in the
center and northern part Of the state. Mr.. Good
ell, although he has never taken prominent part
in politics, has always been very active, und de-
serves we'll of his party. He is gentleman Of abb.
lity, and if nominated, could and would, We are
sure, bring into requsition all those means most
requisite to the achievement of success.
There is certainly no democrat in the state
who could poll such vote as would be given
for r. E. Goodell in northern Illinois, and it
would be all the more in his favor here that
his name Is presented by the generous de-
mocracy of the extreme south. Raised right
among us, acquainted with every settler in
this part of the state and enjoying their
highest esteem and confidence, he would
carry, unless very excited political fight
should be made, of which there is little pros
pect next fall, the vote of this part of the
state with very little reference to party name
or creed
Our preference, however, would he decided
ly to place Mr.. Goodell in the field without a
convention. There is no other state candidate
to nominate, and convention simply to no,ni
nate candidate for half a congressional
term would be an absurd and useless expense.
We move that Mr.. Goodell be the candidate
by reclamation. Who seconds the motion9

Senator Trumbull.

Fourth of July speeches seldom attract
much attention, no matter by whom deliver
ed, yet the speech of Senator Trumbull, de.
llvsred on the 4th, at Gslcsburg, must be re-
garded Is an exception to the rule. The
speech bears about it many points to indicate
that the Honorable Senator is not free from
presidential aspirations. The Senator had,
on several occasions, shown such manly in
dependence Of party trammcls, as in the i'm.
parchment business. denunciation OF the Ku
klux bill, election force BILL &c, as to place
him somewhat under a cloud with the
out-and-out radicals. His Galesburg speech,
however, Is almsst sycophantic in its labor to
conciliats the radical wing of his party, while
he is equally careful not to offend the conser.
vatives. But the big point of the speech IS
its unmistskabls approval and Endorsement of
'the woman question" Not only does the
Senator pay the usual glowing tribute to the
beauty, grace, dignity and virtue of the fe.
male sex-a tribute equally appropriate on
every other day o. well as the glorious Fourth
but he takes occasion to express the hope
that the time my speedily arrive when ..wo-
men shsll receive the same pay for the same

Our Puolio Schools.

Thomas H. Clark, principal of the Ottawa
High School, has received official notification
of his appointment as principal of the
High School in Fast Aurora, at salary of
$1,000 q year Mr.. Clark has also the offer,
We are advised, of . similar situation in the
southern part of the state at salary of $4,000.
Now the question is, shall Ottawa, whose
Board Of Education has voted him the libcr-
al salary of $3.50, lose the services of Mr..
Clark? We understand Mr.. Clark Is willing
to remain at his old salary of $500, but he
must know whether he is to receive it with.
out delay, for he must speedily answ er
these offers from abroad. Now, what does
our school board intend to do about it, or, if
they will do nothing, what will our people
do about it, of whom nine.tcnths are wholly
unwilling to lose Mr.. Clark, and who regard
the manner Of his discharge an outrage!
The school board must see by this time
what their action leads to. They must see
that the position of competent principal
of the high school of city of 5000 inhabi-
tants Is worth more than $3.50 year. Au-
rora, with 10000 inhabitants, has two arinci-
pals, with salaries of from $1,000 to $4,000
each, besides general superintendent 9th
er towns, of from 1900 to 5000 people, no.
where pay less than $500 for competent
principal. There is no hope, therefore, of o.
tawa obtaining competent principal at a
less salary except by lowering the grade of
the school. And this is exactly what our peo-
pie will not submit to, and school board
which, under pretence of economising $3.50
in an annual expenditure of nearly $4,000,
degradcs our schools below the schools of
surrounding villages of 1900 to 1000 inhabi-
tants, will get themselves into trouble.
