POLITICAL.

Many Of our exchanges arc engaged In
the work Of political Slate making-a
most laudablc and necessary employment
The people need and desire information
concerning the men who are seeking pub
lie favor, and those who are being urged
for positions, by the leaders Of the differ
cnt political parties, and the press Of the
country is the only reliable means through
which such information may be sought
hence we are glad to sec that they are
alive to the demands Of the age in this
respect. In accordance with precedent
Of its own making, the republican party
should rc-nominatc G. X. Davis for gov
ecnor if he desires. that distinction. He
has discharged the duties of the Executive
Office with marked ability, and with a
singular independence Of factions. He
has not always met the public cxpecta-
ton. nor has he been free from mistakes
in every particular, but the average OF his
administration marks as high in the scale
OF value, as any TINT has preceded it, and
we see no reason why he should not be re.
nominated by reclamation. There was
nothing in the late senatorial contest that
need to impair the harmony of the party.
That was struggle between factions, and
it resulted Enthusiastically to tho leaders
but the republican party generally were
pleased. The personal adherer,s of the
respective candidates are the only ones
who dcplore the situation, and they will
outiive their discontinue. II change
were to be made, and new man nominal
ed for governor, the one who stands
prominently above all others as candi.
date for that place is Hon. John s. Pills
bury, of Minneapolis He is lifelong
republican, a3 true ~ honor IS The needle
20 the pole; capable, tried and popular
his worth is cxcelled Ivy nothing but his
nodesty; his fitness for the position is
unquestioned except by himself, and he is
averse to the use of his name in connec-
ton with the Office, but the time is not
far distant when he will be compelled to
Weld to the unmistakable wishes of the
party, and become it's standard bearer in
u gubernatorial campaign. We predict
that he will succeed Governor Davis two
years hence.

CHAN ACTER.

There are few persons, ifindeed there be
:ny, who have not ut some time or other
felt either the value of character or the
want OF it. Wealth, social position, re-
spectacle conncction-all these may con-
spire to make their possessor feel indie
pendent CT that Ii:inc decree whereby
virtue is made TIE price Of happiness, but
they are wholly inadequate. Money is
the tlimsiest gauze ever flung over the
shoulders Of crime to conceal it. The eye
Of truth pcnetrates the deceit at q single
glance. The walks Of society are paled
gauntlcts, paved with the hot iron of
pride, upon which innocent feet are blist-
cred; its sides are driven with the spikes
Of envy which pierce the tender limbs of
those unused to the tortuous ways in
which fame and fashion loitcr, and re-
speciality (?) is the most gigantic sham
which ever passed rs genuine in any age
Of the world With these facts, which
are foundational, the great mass Of people
urc becoming familiar. The present is
time when opinions are formed less from
appearances, and more from recognized
conditions. The man whose good quail
ties are manifested only upon such occa-
sions as are supposed to be most favorable
to the promotion Ct his own interests,
need not hope to hide his true character
behind SO thin screen. He is estimated
in the community at his true value, but is
never current at par. lie always dis
counts any who "takc his Stock 50 that
none are likely to be sold by him second
time. That man will sooner or later know
from saddcst want, the value Of character.
The woman who possesses those mental
powers and scholastic attainments requi-
site to fit her for positions Of influence
and usefulness, aud fails to employ them
earnestly and honorably,is already i'll want
Of character, and although her social po.
sition and her physical charms may serve
the transient purpose Of acquiring world
" applause, and OF compelling admira
ton from the fashionable, the dissolutc
and the gay. her beauty will fade, her po
sition be won by some rival, and her
worthless life, with its bitter memories
its sad regrets and its ioatLsome criminal
itv. will be all that remain to her of the
baublc for which she bartercd her culture
her virtue, and her usefulness. Make 6
character, and then sustain it. Nothing
is more valuable nor can anything else
be made to answer in lis stead. 1t is The
essence Of human excellence distilled
through the alemb1c of an upright lifc,-
it IS humanity sublimated, and will exis

The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
Bosros, March 16, 1874.

IL. K. STKvENs, ESQ.,:
bear Sir--It is a. much from sense Of
duty as of era itude that write to say that
your VEGETINE-sven if it is . patent med
icins-has been Of great help to mo when
nothing else seemed to avail which could
safely use. Either excessive mental work or
unusual care brings upon mo . nervous OK
hsustion that desperately needs sleep. but Is
desper atciy dc6cs it. Night after night the
poor, tired body sues for sleep until the day.
dawn is welcomed back, and We begin our
work tired out with an almost fruitless chase
after rest. Now have found that little
VEGETINE taken just before retire gives
me sweet and immediate sleep. aud without
any Of the evil effects Of the usual narcotics.
/ think two things would tend to make brain
workers sleep. lst-A little less work. I'd
A little more Vegetine. This prescription has
helped me.
Now have particular horror of "patent
medicine" but have y greater horror of BE-
ing afraid to ell the straight out truth. The
VKGETINE has helped me, and own itup.
Yours &c.,
