The London Spectator writes /:
with a great war raging, a revolu-
ton possibly imminent in France,
and serious debates constantly o..
curing in her own Parliament. Her
Majesty retires into the depths of
the Highlands, six hundred miles
from the capital. Should, there
fore, anything serious occur, her
Premier-an old man, full of govt
must travel six hundred miles for
a personal interview. No blame
rests, of course, on Her Majesty,
who, like every other sovereign, has
been bred to think her own conve.
nience and the welfare of her king
down quite inseparable but great
blame rests upon successive Minis
terS who have failed to inform her
that her highest duties can only be
ittingly performed in the neighbor-
hood Of her parliament"

SAN Francisco Examiner
"There is but one practical, sensible
and patriotic course for the Demo-
cratic party to take at the present.
time and during the next four
years. That is, to submit to the
law and to repudiate, at the same
time, in every lawful manner, per-
.sistently and to the end, the great
fraud that has been committed by
the Radicals in forcing into the
Executive office a man not elected
by the people"

The Louisville Evening News, Of
Monday, says:

Well authenticated reports have
reached this city to the effect that the
successor to Judge II. II. Emmons will
he either Judge W. f. Cooper or Judge
Edward Baxter, both of Tennessee. The
contest for the position has narrowed
down to these two gentlemen, and it may
be understood hat one or the other will
be the successor of Judge Emmons.
This leaves Judge Ballard, Of Kentucky,
out of the contest, and will doubtless
disappoint a large number of those at
torneys who signed the petition asking
that he be appointed to the vacancy.

Non.Partisanship.

The Associated Press agent at Chicago.
who has just been appointed collector at
Chicago, by the fraudulent president,
gives fair example of his bipartisan
ship, last night, in sending accounts of the
Massachusetts republican convention and
the New Jersey democratic convention.
In the former he sends full report of the
business done and gives a synopsis of the
resolutions adopted. He dismissed the
democratic convention by simply stating
that Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan was uomin-
ated for governor.
1t is pity the Associated Press cannot
employ some person for agent in Chicago
who will give all public meetings fair and
impartial report. But then. Smith, the
agent. Is probably only carrying out the
orders of the brand who appointed him tc
Office, as a reward for his services during
the campaign last fall.

We are Very Sorry.

1t is very painful that the republican
candidates for the county Offices and the
Union and Gazette do not like the course
adopted by the democratic convention.
1t was supposed the democracy would, for
once, please them by not putting partisan
ticket 10 the field. On the contrary they
are as mad as they can we'll be and main
tain proper relation to their initial gar
ments. For this we are very sorry. We
know it is wicked to make such good
Christians cross and oblige them, for want
of better argument, to abuse aud make
naughty faces at their opponents. 1t may
however be consoling to them to know that
the action Of the convention is very salts
factory to all the democrats of the county
and to a large number Of other citizens.

Suicide in Davenport.

Reuben j. Osborn, for several years
janitor at the high school building and the
congregational church, over the river,
committed suicide at his residence over
there, yesterday morning, by shooting
himself behind the left ear with revolver.
Osborn was about ffty-six years of age
He leaves "a family consisting of wife and
two children, one a young man, the other
a girl of twelve years. He was in poor
circumstances, and depended almost solely
upon his earnings in the positions we have
uamed for his support and that Of his
family.

Can't. AUGUST Timm.

FROM the VOlks-Eeitung of yesterday we
translate the following biographical notice
of the above named gentleman:
Mr.. August Timm, who has presented
his name to the people as an independent
candidate for the Office of county clerk,
was born in Germany in the year of 1874
and came to this country 10 1858. He
worked on a farm that year. and after
wards 10 grocery store. where he remain
ed until 1860. During the war he served
three months in an Iowa regiment and
then entered the 10th regiment Iowa
infantry, in which he remained until after
the war. Here he advanced from
private to sergeant, End lieutenant and at
last to captain After the close of the
war he became a clerk in the Davenport
post office, where he served six years I'm
der Sanders and Russell Then he went
to California as secretary and treasurer of
white lead company. Subsequently he
returned to Davenport, where he bought
out grocery store. This he exchanged
for farm, and the farm for the Moline
Turner Hall-where he is now.
Mr.. Timm has in every way the qualifi.
cations needed for the Office of county
clerk, and it would be very desirable and
just to this Office if German born citizen
should be elected, as so many Germans
have transactions with the same.

The Centre of Vitality.

The lite of the flesh and the brain, the
bones and the muscles, is the blood. tits
the centre of vitality, the nutriment of the
system Not only must it be pure. but
rich, IN order to retain health In the
feeble and devitalized, the life current is
watery and its circulation sluggish The
muscles of such persons lack solidity, the
nerves are weak, the yisage baggard, and
the eye lustreless. A course of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, however, improves not
only the health but the appearance of the
debilitated and nervous. Nutrition the1
becomes complete because indigestion re-
ceives an impetus from this benignant
tonic, which fertilizes the blood, brings
back THE rose tint of health" to the wan
cheek, brightness to the eye, and gives
power of endurance to3the muscle. In.
yalids hasten to use it!

Conspiracy of the State Officers and
the Springfield Ring.

The Peoria Democrat says, ut will be
remembered that certain citizens in
Springfield, Illinois, in 1871, filed bond OF
100000 with the secretary of state,
pledging to purchase four acres of ground
south of the state house, whenever the
state should demand the same. provided
such demand should be made within two
years after the state house building was
ready for the use of the two houses of the
general assembly.
Last May, the general assembly passed
law authorizing and requiring the secre-
tary to Immediately make the demand, and
that the bondsmen should comply within
four months, or be compelled to pay for
the cost of the same, The Law requiring
this of the secretary of state, went into
effect on the 5th day Of July, 1877. In
three days afterward, he might have
needed the demand made, but it has only
been made within the past few days.
why this delay and neglect of official
duty? 1t was to suit the pleasure Of the
Springfield ring" and was, no doubt, a
conspiracy between the governor and
secretary of state and the ring" and for
this reason. At this coming election there
is to be submitted to the voters of the
state an appropriation of $53l,7l2.l8 to
COM lete the state house. 1t is believed
that the rims" can get out of furnishing
the state with said four acres of ground
If they fight it, as there are doubts
about the legality of the bond. but il
is also believed that the ring" will
comply rather than have the appropri-
alton fail Here then is the conspiracy
Let the secretary delay giving the de
mand upon the ring" for purchasing the
four acres until within couple of month";
of the election, and by then the ring vii
still have on election day two months il
: which to make the purchase and comply
with the bond, and will not be on recorC
} as refusing to comply, so as to endangel
the defeat of the appropriation before tn
people; whereas, should the Secretary o
state have done his duty, and immediate
ly have made the demand, as the law re
quired. the ring" would have been com
a., PEELED to have complied, or failed wit
their bond, before the election, aud tn
ring" believe that had they refused t
t comply, the people would express their il
dignation by voting down the appropria
: ton, but that now they can make goo
D promises until the people have voted fc
the appropriation and make it law, an
E then let the Estate whistle for their add
e tional grounds,
AS the matter now appears, there ca
be no tdoubt but that the secretary's d.
! ! lay is conspiracy between Governc
u Collum, Harlow and the ring" for anott
er big steal, which is another example
ID republican Office holders taking advaI
1t tage of their official position
10 steal money from the people I'll
best thing the people can now do is
l. vote down the appropriation unless tt

IS the said four acres to the state before ele
ton, and in time that ample proof that
10 has been done can be made"
