1t is just rs we expected. Our article Of
Saturday on the candidates for the Assembly 10
the Seventh District has created a great ex-
element in that part Of the city. The women
especially are all up in arms about 1t. They are
almost unanimous against DR.. HAYES because
he Is an old bachelor, and in favor OF Col. BART
LETT because he is a young bachelor. OF HAYES
they say there is no hope, and they even 60 so
far as to allege that no man should DO legis-
lator unless he IL either married or capable OF
becoming so. This is a sound view, and we
trust they will inspire all the Of the district
with such fundamental political truth. Let all
the married men and every young man In the
district vote for bartlett and even all the old
bachelors should vote against HAYES In token
OF regret for their misspent lives. Elect BART
LETT, defeat lIAYEs-tnat Is the correct war cry.

Assisting Nature.

1t is of no use attempting to force nature. She
wor t stand 1t, and rebels. She must be coaxed,
it were, not driven. For instance. in attempting
to overcome constipation indigestion, violent or
what physicians call, by way of euphony. ''heroic'
treatment is sure to dereat the purpose in view.
which is, or should be, to permanently remedy the
evil The use of drastic cathartics Is especially to
be deprecated, for although they temporarily over
come costiveness, yet the intestines are so weak
ened and infamed by them as to be rendered unfit
to perform the elective functions properly. How
much better to assist nature in such q case with
such mild and salutary aperient Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, which strengthen at the same
time they relieve the bowels. Not only is this re-
suit achieved by their use but the activity of the
torpid liver is restored the stomach invigorated,
and the entire system greatly beueHtted.

Liquor Licenses.

Somebody has sent US. from Springfield,
printed copy of the bill now before the
legislature for new license law, The bill
is very great improvement on the pres
ent law and ought to be enacted. The
principal changes are as follows: 1t gives
the court discretion whether or not to i'm
prison persons guilty of its violation. The
present law gives no discretion: it reads
fine and Imprisonment" The new bill
reads fine or Imprisonment" This is
proper, for there are cases where fine is
sufficient, For wilful and repeated viola
tions the court should fine and imprison.
County boards are required to license
whenever SO voters of an election precinct
petition for a license. Minors who lie
about their age in order to get liquor are
liable to fine of from $40 to $50 or month
in prison. The owner of property is not to
be liable for the acts of his tenant. In 9TH
er respects the present law is substantially
preserved.

Appoplexy of the Lungs.

The coroner's jury, in the case Of John
McAnaul, was in session yesterday after
noon and evening, and this forenoon, Sew
eral theories were started as to the cause of
his death, one of which was that he took
poison, another that he died from blows
received IN drunken brawl over the riv-
er, all of which were thoroughly investiga-
ted by the jury, but still no certain cause
of death was ascertained. A post morten'
was then decided upon, and conducted by
DR.. Plummer. Three bruises were found
on his head; the one just above the right
eye-right temporal bone-appeared the
most dangerous. The skull seemed to be
sound the brain natural, except that the
small vessels were slightly engorged mot
enough to have produced death; the
spasms he had might have caused this
The back and limbs were discolored, caused
by the blood running to the lowest parts Of
the body after death.
On further examination of the body the
stomach was found distended with gas to
three times its natural size. And the air
cells of the lungs were filed solid with
blood not one empty, showing that he
died from appoplexy of the lungs; caused
by exposure.
Christy Lamb, who had been arrested
on suspicion of being one of the persons
who beat McAnaul. was acquitted by the
jury Of any blame whatever, and discharg.

A Puff for Lord John.

The following is clipped from commu-
nication to the Dixon sun,in regard to our
dead canal bill:
The canalhad no supporter of any weight
or influence outside of a few Indifferent To-
calities. Mr.. Hawley. whose term so soon
expires, acted the part of cunning politi-
clan, to shower his own name with canal
bilge water, but showed no discretion in
the management of the case. In fact no
discretion was allowed to him, politically
speaking. If he went home having at
tempted nothing, Mr.. Henderson might
reap the glory. Ii he made the attempt,
and even failed, it would serve as an argu-
ment for his return to congress-, two years
hence, and materially damage the labors Of
Henderson in the meantime. When Haw
ley spoke in Dixon, during the last cam.
paign, he did not mention the name of his
opponent, Nothing remains fol
us but to watch and wait. The Hennepir
canal will ultimately be completed. 1t is nc
local question. 1t does not chiefly concern
Dixon or Lee county, for its chief concern
is the valley of the Mississippi, and the
regions west. When this vast area shall
demand an outlet to the coast, the demand
will be granted,

Some Ugly Questions.

To the Editors of The Argus:
Why did the Water Board place the top
of the valve of the main pipe, at the inter-
section of Illinois and Madison streets, only
eighteen inches below the surface
Why did the Water Board leave the
main pipe, on Exchange street, above
ground, where it passes across the culvert
on Canal street? Also on Illinois at jeff
ersen street, on Orleans at Adams street,
and on Moline Avenue at the culvert east
of Wagner's brewery Pin all, about thirty
feet of the main pipe left exposed to the
cold weather whenth mercury was twenty
degrees below zerol
Does not this fact account for the freez-
ing of the water in the pipes between the
points where they are exposed? In my
opinion it does. And the difficulty can be
easily be remeded by placing the pipes, at
the culverts, below the bed of the culverts.
If little common-sense, and good
deal of personal attention had been used
by the Water Board, in laying the pipes
10 this city it would have prevented them
from freezing and thus saved to the peo-
pie all the expense and trouble this winter.
The people would like to see an answer to
these questions. u.

argument in their favor; for good, pure

Inasmuch as several persons have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction nc the manner in |
which the reserved seats have been select |
ed for the several entertainments given by |
the Athletic Club during the present sea-
SON, and quite number have attached
blame to the members of the club, We
think it would be quite proper, at the next
entertainment, to be given by the Mendel-
sohn Quintet on February 26, for the mem
bers Of the club to select their seats in the
gallery, as we are informed that the bench
es which are nows in the gallery will be
removed and chairs suitable for reserved
seats placed in their stead. At any rate
they should not be first to select seats, be-
fore their patrons have an opportunity to
avail themselves of those reserved, for
which they subscribed when they purch-
ased season tickets Union, this morning.
The above is hardly fair towards the
club. Members of the club who purchased
season tickets have the same rights as 9th
er people in regard TO seats. Ifany mem
ber or members of the club played any un-
derhanded game with the seller of the
seats to secure certain seats, he or they
Ishould be exposed to censure. But,mem'
bers who purchased tickets had the same
rights as others to select seats in the or
binary way. They had no right to take
any advantage of others because they were
members.
, AS to the gallery no gentleman could b'
expected to take lady there to occupy
bench with no back to it, if he could get
|, better seat. But we hear that the pro
+ prietors of the hall will place chairs in tn
z gallery for the next entertainmentsand tina
it will be resereved for members and la
| dies accompanying them, thus giving NOR
. room in the body of the house for the pub
