The preamble and one Of the resolutions
adopted by the Illinois Temperance Union, re-
Gently In session at Jacksonville, are as follows:
WHEREAS, The manufacturers and dealers in in.
soMcsung liquors have organized society In this
State, ana raised large fund for the purpose of
pr down the laws Of the State depressing
drinks. and also for the purpose Of violating and
opposing all laws made for suppressng the sale Of
such drinks on the Sabbath, In order to prevent
day and depressing vice; therefore,
Resolced, That all men who favor law, order,
and good government in the State should, regard
ence and means IN sustaining he wholesome laws
Of the land.
Resolutions were also adopted thanking Mayer
Medill, Of Chicago, for his enforcement of the
Sunday laws in that city, and rendering
thanks to the Father Matthew Temperance So
cieties, composed of Irish fcllow-citizcns, "for
the noble stand they have taken in favor of
the enforcement Of the laws of the land, and
the timely and cutting rebuke they lately, as
body, administered to our common enemy"
A young daughter of William Wall, residing
near Fulton Junction, Iowa, tried to kindle a
fire with kerosene. The flames communicated
with the can, which burst, scattering the burn
ing oil all over her body. Before it could be
extinguished, her flesh was burned to crisp,
and she could not long survive.
The Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners, having been called upon for an
opinion in the matter, have officially stated
that a reduction in favor of all persons alike
who are sending articles for exhibition at in
dustrial fairs would not seem to give any bust
ness advantage to one person over another,
ana therefore would not be an unjust discrim-
lnatlon We quote: 1.-THE facts that these
articles are designed for exhibition at indus
trial fairs; that such fairs are matters of pub
lie encouragement; that no one is injuriously
anected by such reduction, and that all per-
sons sending this class of articles are treated
aiike' would seem to justify what would
otherwlse, as between rival business men, be
p'ahaa tacie evidence of unjust discrimination.
when reduction does not pecuniarily iniurc
any one, but on the contrary encourages the
industrial interests of the country, and thus
accords with public policy it leaves, we think,
no good reason to declare such reduction an
unjust discrimination. 1t is not mere dis
eliminating but unjust discrimination that
Is prohibited by the Constitution and the
statute"

Iowa, and robbed by seven masked men on

shot and killed. The mail and express cars
were all robbed.
The number of threshing machines sold at

A Minneapolis (Minn.) dispatch of the 2lst
says "Since the adjournment of the Repub-
lican State Convention, facts have come to
light, proving that Washburn was nominated
on the third formal ballot, by majority of
three over all. Four votes cast for Attorney.
General on that ballot were intended for
Washburn, but throwing them out of the
count, as they ought to have been, instead of
being counted scattering, Washburn still had
majority of three. The knowledge of
these facts is creating a deep feeling
throughout the State, and the question
is whether under the circumstances.
Davis can afford to accept the nomination re-
ceived by mistake. The Tribune tomorrow
morning will ask that the nomination be
settled by the State Central Committee"
