JUDICIAL.
Who Shall be Circuit Judgsp

The people of the 5th judicial district
the Springfield district, have called dele
gate convention irrespective of party, to
nominate a candidate for judge. The
representation is based upon the number
of votes cast for all the presidential candi-
dates in 1876. That both parties in that
district have just as able men in their
ranks as any other district in the state will
not be questioned, and the reason they
have decided to select their judge outside
Of political and partisan lines will readily
be seen by all, except men of very small
mental calibre. This has been the man
ner Of selecting judges in this district for
some time past with the exception, per-
haps, of Judge for this county, and the re-
suit has been very satisfactory. No reason,
other than desire to bring our courts
within the dangerous influence OF politics,
as was done by Tweed in New York city,
can be given for doing otherwise at the
election which takes place in this district
on the first Monday in August That
this plan will suit members Of the bar 10
the counties composing this district is I'M
doubtedly fact, as it must certainly suit
the better class Of citizens generally.
Another important matter should also
be considered in the selection Of candi-
date. The district is composed of the
counties of Rock Island, Mercer, Henry,
Warren, Knox, aud Henderson. Rock
Island has one of the judges Of the circuit
and Knox county also has one, both hold
ing over; and, it would seem, that either
Mercer, Henry, Warren, or Henderson
counties should name the third Judge Of
the circuit, NOT that it is necessary that
any immediate spot should be" the local
habitatiOn Of the candidate, to ensure the
election Of a competent and proper person,
but fer the better accommodation of the
people whose business is to be transacted
Members of the bar are perhaps as mucl
interested in this matter as any other
class of citizens and it would be proper
for them to take some action towards call
ing a convention. We would suggest that
they name one of their number from each
county as q committee to call a delegate
convention at some suitable place, say
Rock Island, and designate the time as
we'll as apportion to each county the nun
Der Of delegates. This city is perhaps a:
easily reached as any other place in the
district. Our hotel accommodations are
ample, and first class, and, taken all TO-
gether, this is a good place for any kline
Of convention. Should the convention
be called by others, we trust they will no
forget the advantages of this city.

Wisconsin elects governor and other
state officers this fall and the Republicans
look forward with fear and trembling to
the day of trial. The rock-rooted parti
sans are furious at Hayes, and there is a
bitter struggle between the two wings of
the party for the nomination, so much so
that the custom followed time out of mind
of renominating the incumbent for COVER
nor, as an Endorsement Of his administra-
ton, is no longer tacitly accepted as party
law. Meanwhile the greenback party has
been reinvigorated and will put ticket in
the field on July 4. The Democrats are
quietly waiting for these elements OF an
tagonism in the dominant party to shape
themselves, aud will do nothing until they
can see just how the land lies.

of them must see Hayes and he must see

crowd of Office beggers occupy the best
part Of the day and then come the more
distinguished pplicants-senators, repre-
sentatives and politicians who want place:
for their friends. They occupy the eve,

for office. he has no time to give to pub

But Hayes does not have and should no

he occupies it through fraud of the crosses

A Perfect Toilet Soap.

First among the requisites Of the toilet is a good
article OF Soap, but to procure it is not always an
easy matter. Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market arc made from coarse and deleterious
materials and their delicate colaTpg and traerant
perfume too often conceal the most repalsiVe AN
purities. The disclosures recently made pubic
regarding this su ject are positively startling, and
deserve serious consideration Scented Soaps are
now known to be cxtrem ly Objectionable, especial
y if 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 yeafs 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 obyiated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr..
Il. I. Babbitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer, whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renOwn of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many yeaIs been widely dssem-
inaied, but this latest il the appropriate
crown to the numerous victories already achieved
After years of patient labor and scientific expert
mgnt, Nh Bahbitt has succeeded IN perfectinc the
composition of the frest toilet soap ever intro
0uced The principal ingredient the purest
vegetable oils; the manufacturing processes are
entirely and original, and the result is simply
unparalleled in this department of industry.
."B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap is the trade mark
by which this elegant toilet luxury is designated,
and for applications the delicate skin of Infants
children and ladies' it is altogether unequaled In It's
emOllient properties. I his Soap is not perfumed,
the Ingredients being of such absolute purity
require no 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 d. T
Rabbits Toilet Soap renders II the most healthful
and agreeable article of the kind eyer manufac'
tured.
Though specially desirable for the of ladies
and children, this Soap Is equally appropriate for
gentemen's toilet, and 1t makes heavy lather
