TIE BAR-T7ENOER'S STORY

When 1 knowed him at first .here was
suthu'-
a sort of n general air
That was very particular pleasin',
And what you might call debonair.
IN aware the expression is Frenchy,
And rather high daddy, perhaps;
Which accounts that have the acquaintance
Of several quality chaps.
But be got to increasin' his doses,
And took 'em more often, he did,
And it growed on him faster aud faster
Till inter a hummer he slid.
i was grjeved to observe this here fellow
A shown himself down the grade,
And leCtured him onto it sometimes
AT the lisk of spilin' the trade.
At last he got thunderiu' seedy,
And he lost the respect for himself,
And all his high notions of honor
Was bundled away on the shelf.
But at times he was dreadful rsmorSeful
Whenever he'd stop for to think,
And he'd swear to reform himself frequent,
And end it by taking drink
What saved the young feller2 4 woman
She come it the sinClerest way.
He come into the sbar-rOOm one cveuin'
Gle hadn't been driukin' that day.)
And he sot himself down TO table
With terrible sOrrowTpl face,
And he sot there a groanin' repeated,
And callin' himself gone case.
Pe was thinkin and Ghiukin' and thinkin',
And cussip' himself for his fate.
And he ended his thirkin' as usual
BY orderin' Bourbon straight.
He was holdin' the glass in his fingers,
When into the place from tho street
There came young gal like spirit,
With a face that was powerful sweet.
Aud she glided right up to the table
And took the glass gently away,
And she said to him, George, it is over:
L am only a wom;.n to-day
1 rejected you once III my anger,
But come 20 you loviy rad mock,
For can't live without you, my darling,
/ thought L was strong, bat L m weak.
''You are bound into ,er.ibs bondage,
And I come, love, 20 share it with you:
Is there shame in the deed? I can bear it,
For at last to M love an true;
I have turned from the home of my child

And | come to my lover and friend,
Leaving comfort, contentment, and honor,
And I'll stay to the terrible end.
els there hunger and want in the fu,ure?
I will share il with you and not shrink !
And together We'll join in the pleasures,
The woes aud the dangers of drink. -

But her face was as pale the dead

What a Farmer Says.

In conversation with one of the most in
teligent farmers in Henry county a few
| DAYS ago, the gentleman remarked that
| there was widespread determination
among men of his calling, not to vote Tor
professional politicians and office holders
| for any important Office whatever. They
want ne,c men, especially in congress; men
fresh from the people, who know the wants
and wishes of the people, and who can be
relied on for practical legislation, rather
than buncOmbe speeches aud parry IN.
trigue. We believe this is the position OF
large body of the Republicans % this
district. Practical intelligent business
men in congress, rather than trained poh-
ticians and office holders is the demand OF
the people to day-Rock Island mon,
dug Is.
That Henry county farmer was right,
and the Union was right the people do
not want professional politicians and of
fee holders" and that is the reasoI they
don't want Henderson, and the reason they
do want the farmer soldier Elliott for their
representative. The Independent Reform
ers understood this fact when they called
Gen. Elliott to the front The delegates
knew that no party could afford to ignore
this demand. No party can afford to dis
regard the well settled convictions Of its
adherents, To do 50 is SIMPLY to invite
defeat
1t is for this, among other reasons, that
We especially commend Gen. Elliott TO the
people of this district. Nopromineut man
in the district is less politician than he,
yet no man has more of the elements of
practical craftsmanship. NJ man in the
district has given the real issues of the
day more thorough study, and no man
can be relied on with greater certainty to
secure such legislation. His clear convic-
tons, genial manner, uusuliied integrity
and unflaggiug industry, would at once give
him position and influence among fellow
congressman.
/ If the people are wise, and if they are
disposed te insist on that for which they
nave been clamoring, they will see to it
that he is elected.

The Power to Regulate Commerce.

A letter dated at Princeton appears in
the Union, oyer the signature of wv, )"
in which the writer attempts a criticism
upon the views of Gen. Elliott, and the
course of The ARGUS, in regard to the
regulation of commerce, and the article
shows how impossible it is for the writer
to understand the course of THE ARGUS
on this subject by reading only one copy
of the paper. The writer says:
Every well-informed man knows that state con-
troll IL dangerous If Elliott lavOrs that doctrine,
he Is dangerously unsound on that question. Why?
Because, if the whole control was left to the sta e
Legislature, state would lay tolls on the freight
from other pas ing over her borders or across
her territory.
The writer has, unconsciously, perhaps,
exhibited his hate for the states and PEG
pie, and his desire for an obliteration OF
the states and the Capitalization of all pow
err in the hands of political ring at Wash
ington, by saying that state control is
dangerous. The people do not think SC
state control is the peoples control
Neither Elliott nor THE ARGUS ever ia
vored the doctrine of exclusive state control
THE ARGUshas often shown that the power
granted to congress by the states to regulate
commerce among the states was given fol
the very purpose of preventing states from
levying tolls upon the passage of eithe
! freight or passengers across their domain
| that it was given to prevent the states iron
placing any restrictions upon commerc
between the states And The ARGUS ha
! lust as often shown that that power doe
not authorize congress to say what sail
ing vessel, a steamboat. canal boat,
railroad, mule team, etc, etc, shall Q
, shall not charge for transportation that
has no more power to say that than it ha
to say what we shall or shall not ask for ad
vertising in our newspaper, that such
power would place the business of tn
whole country under the control of pc
