Senator Lamar hit the nail upon the

told the Democrats of Mississippi that
questions of tariff, trade, commerce, eur

saying this the eloquent Mississippi Sena-

own state, nor for his own section only,
but for the majority of sensible and patri-
otto Americans in all parts of the Union.
His speech makes it perfectly clear, also,
that the Democrats of the south have no

to be diverted from the practical consider

New York Historv.

The battle Of Oriskany, the hundredth
anniversary of which the people of central
New York celebrated on the 9th inst. in
such fine style, was really more important
affair than many battles in which much
larger forces were engaged, and that have
made much louder noise ia history.
That summer Of l777 was a critical season
with the revolted colonists. The British
plan Of campaign had been carefully
maturCd, and the men to execute it picked
with equal care. The object was to crush
out the rebellion in New York, and thus
isolate New England from the other states
in the phrase which more recent war
made familiar, to "cut the rebellion in
two" Burgoyne was marching down
from the north, having captured Fort
TicOnderoga. Gen. Clinton was to move
up the Hudson with ships and troops and
meet him. To st. Leger, with mixed
force Of regulars, HessiaGs, tories, and In.
dams, was assigned the task of capturing
Fort Stanwix; after which he was to join
Burgoyne at Albany. That was the plan.
That it miscarried was due to the sturdy
patriotism of the Mohawk Valley Dutch
men. Col. Gansevoort with q small force
held the invested fort; Gen. Herkimel
with some 800 hastily levied militia
marched to his assistance. The LITTLE
column was ambushed in the ravine a
Orlskany, and one man in every four wa
killed. But they held their ground fo
five hours, and they spoiled the British
plan Of campaign. st. Leger, having sen
the greater part of his troops to NEE
Herkimer, was 10 turn surprised b.
Gansevoort's forces, who wade well
timed aud successful sortie. The fghtin
blood of the New York yeomaDry was nov
thoroughly up. There was no tory rsin
in the Mohawk valley, ST. Leger, thong
maintaining the siege, became more an
more nervous. Finally, on Aug. %,

TIE Argus and the Union.

THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS utters very
sound sentiment on the subject ofthe
strike, and properly characterizes the
abominable doctrine Of the Union in favor
of higher law" right of one man to for
bid another man from laboring. We
haven't usually been able to side with HE
ARGUS against the Union on public ques-
tons, but it seems to us as though those
papers had both changed their tone and
principles exchanged with each other, in
fact-to the great gain Of The ARGUS and
the sad loss of the UHton. -CdnbTfdge
Chronicle.
Oh, no, Mr.. Chronicle-it's not The
ARGUS which has changed, -not bit of it.
1t is probably you,-as you grow older,
you see, you learn to better understand
the teachings Of good, straightforward
paper-while at the came time you also
become Disguised with the todyism Of
newspapers who only advocate this OIL
that for "policy's sake"-as has been done
since the present managers obtained con-
troll Of the Union OF late that paper ha:
surprised itself, and, especially, on the sub
ject Of Capitalization and standing army
On this subject it talks such good Demo
cratic doctrine that we have seriously con
templated starting Republican paper jus
for the sake Of having opposition Th'
Union is so thoroughly hacked" tina
there isn't enough Republican party lef
in it to even support Hawley for congress-
at the next congressional election. TIL
ARGUS therefore names him for the mex
Republican candidate. Cant his oil
clerk say a word in his behalf? Speak III

Ii seems, according to a newspaper
writer, that lager beer was introduced into
the United States only thirty years ago
That was about the time the great German
immigration was beginning, and our leu
tonic friends brought along with them their
god Gambrinus, and certainly he has been
welcome guest.
The history of beer carries us back to
the old Egyptians, who are said to have
invented it, as they did many other things,
including some of our religious practices.
They were u remarkable people, and doubt
less Moses learned much from them. Our
modern beer, however, dates back only to
the time of Cnarlemagne, when hops were
first cultivated in Europe. The monks
were the brewers of the Middle Ages, as
they also we're the great agriculturists,
aud they kept the tof its manufacture
for long period, enjoying the exclusive
privilege OF connecting a liquor which has
now become favorite drink of the civil
lied world, and out OF whose brewing vast
fortunes have been made, so that in Eng.
land the brewers stand next to the aristoc-
racy 10 social consequence, with abundant
wealth 10 sustain the position.
AS early as the fourteenth century Ba.
varia was celebrated for its beer, and now
it makes an article of quality not ex-
celled in Germany. A century later Saxon
breweries became we'll known, but the
English-next to the Germans, aud, of
late, ourselves, the great beer drinkers
did not begin to manufacture the beverage
until lately. In 1924, however, they we're
making beer from hops. The trouble with
the English beer is that it is too heavy and
too heady, and therefore a recent temper
ance advocate in England urges the popu-
larization of the German lager, a much
lighter and more innocent potation.
So important is beer brewing in Germany
that there has been established at Nuren.

necessary that they should be born and
not made, yet nothing commendable is
done except after training.

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet a good
article of Soap, but to procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterious
materials, and their delicate coorlng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive i'm
purities, The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
" il applied to the head injurng the hair irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches. The
character of the ingredients may be inferred from
the statement OF a gentlemen who makes the scent
ing Of Soaps his business he recently declared that
persons engaged in this employment were short
lived; from seven to ten years being the longest
period during which the occupation could be fol-
lowed.
The difficulty OF procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last Ooviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
b. Il. Rabbit, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by far the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-
mated, but this latest success is the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved.
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
ment, Mr.. Babbitt has succeeded in perfecting the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
ouced. The principal ingredients are the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely new and original and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
B T. Rabbits Toilet Soap" is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated
and for applications to the delicate skin of infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled in its
enrolment properties. InlS soap is not pertumeO
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity TO
require aid from chemistry to disguise inferior
materials. The most refined taste considers the
absence OF artificial perfume the perfection of
sweetness, and this peculiar characteristic of B. T.
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders it the most healthfu
and agreeable article of the kind ever manufac.
tured.
Though specially desirable for the use of ladies
and children this Soap Is equally appropriate for
