THE pEEsIDEN, Ill I'M equation

Following two presidents the president
elect of the United States will take the
oath and enter upon his duties at noon
on Monday, the fifth of March next. The
presidents are in the case of president
Monroe. who was re-inaugurated Mon
dav, March ), 1921, and Zachary Taylor,
who was inaugurated on the same day of
the week and month in lS49. The
record in the case of Monroe is incom-
plete, but in the case of Taylor the jour
nal of the senate shows that on Friday,
the second of March, 1919, Mr.. Polk, the
president, sent a communication to the
senate requesting that body to meet in
special session on Monday, the fifth Of
March, at ten o'clock 8. m, as there
would, on that, day, be matters Of inter
est to engage its attention. The record
also shows that the senate extended its
session on March 3, by recesses, until six
o'clock on Sunday morning, March +
when the presiding officer declared that
BODY adjourned sine die. The term of
United States senators expires on the
third of March, but this has been con-
strued to mean until noon on the fourth
of the same month. A precedent was es-
tablished in 1851 which has been fol-
lowed ever since. McDOnald's manual

con TIE third of March, 1851, on
which day the Thirty-6rst congress ex'
pired, and on which the term of one-third
of the members of that body would also
expire, the senate being in session at
twelve o'clock midnight, senstCr Mr..
Mason, of Virginia., expressed doubt
whether the term for which he had been
elected did not expire at that hour, and
desired to be qualified as senator under
his credentials of reelection. The sen
ate thereupon passed vote Of twenty
seven yeas to eleven nays, the following
resolution roHered by Stephen A
Douglass
" Resolved. That inasmuch as the sec
ond session of the Thirty-hrst congress
does not expire under the constitution
until twelve O'Clock on the fourth o.

graphic style, made these revelations,
they fell like a bonn bshell among the
politicians on the corners, and the
news spread like FIRE, and now is the
general topic of conversation. 1t is
amusing to hear Howe's old hackers
now declaring. 81 always thought he
was that kind of a man." They be-
gin 10 realize that THE ADVERTISER
nearly two years ago was on the right
scent, when it charged Howe with
bribery, and that the grasshopper
clerk knew all about it and was paid
for defending Howe in his rascality.
Mr.. Let's motive in making this
revelation at this time is highly hon
orable. He could not conscientiously
stand by and see honest men, and his
friends giving their support to such
man as Howe without warming them
of what they were doing, and making
known his knowledge of Howe's
treachery to his constituents and out
rageous course as a legislator two
years ago. Mr.. Lett will deliver a
few addresses in the county and upon
this and other matters will most ef-
fectually ventilate the Hon. Church
Howe.

- In our intercourse with our bust
ness men, we have frequent occasion
to call at Louis Lowman's store; and
1t is always pleasure to do so, for he
certainly has one of the neatest, most
pleasant and inviting establishments
to be found anywhere. His goods are
always so very tastefully arranged
and displayed, and appear so neat,
| bright and new, as to attract the at
tention of the visitor at once. His
great stock of goods being selected
with the advantages of experieE ce and
perfect knowledge of the best and
what and how to lay in varied stock
to suit his customers, it is not al all
strange that his counters are constant
ly lined during the business hours OF
day and evening, with ladies and
gentlemen of taste and culture, from
city and country, examining and pur-
chasing articles of utility, comfort
and durability; or of. the luxurious,
rich and fashionable.
Since Mr.. L0wman's arrival from
his purchasing trip to the old rich
cities of the East, and the opening
and display of the magnificent stock
he has since received for the fall trade,
this establishment has additional
charms that attrac: the people, and
affords gratifying evidence, to every
one who delights in seeing merit ap-
preciated and rewarded, that Mr.
Lowman's house is in the highest de-
gree prosperous.
We will not now stop to examine
the packed shelves to tell in detail
what they contain, nor tumble the
immense piles of ready made clothing,
nor delve into the drawers among the
silks, lacts and embroidery, and the
beautiful, charming goods which so
please the intuitive good taste of the
fair sex, but will leave all these to the
care end pleasure Of Mr.. and Mrs.
LOwman and the accommodating and
pleasant Master Nanny, who always
take pleasure in attending courteous
ly and promptly to the wishes and
wants of customers, and showing
their good to those who desire to see
them.

- For the want of better election
eering material, some Of tho leading
members of hybrid political organiza-
tIon In this county are endeavoring
to create the impression that Gov.
Furnas, who has, on invitation, de-
hvered number of political address
es in this county, and in Missouri, is
canvassing while under pay as a
Government official. Even If the &C.
cusation was true, we see no good
reason why the fact of his holding an
appointment should prevent him
from taking part in the canvass, when
time and opportunity permitted. The
fact Is, however, he holds no official
position of kind, nor has he since par
ticipating in the present campaign.

Hon. II. G. Lett on Tuesday
morning of this week created quite a
sensation in political circles in this
city. by publicly announcing that he
was possessed of some direct informa-
ton from Mr.. Nels. Patrick. which
bears directly and terribly heavy on
the much mooted charge of bribery
made against Church Howe. Mr..
Lett says Patrick told him that he
pslu the rent for the suite of rooms
"hlch Mr.. Howe occupied during his
legislative labors of the winter of 1874.
and furnished him with large amount
of money In payment of certain ser
vices to be performed by Howe for
Patrick but which were never nor
formed and not one cent of the money
ever returned. Thus is explained the
luxuriant manner in which legislator
Howe lived during that contest for
Senator. and renders any further
proof that Howe was bribed by Pat
rick unnecessary.
