Well Toned Systems.

Systems toned and renovated with Hos
teter's Stomach Bitters are most effectu-
ally defended from disease. That sup
RENE invigorant soon overcomes that dis
tressing feebleness consequent upon all

relax the muscles. Vigor. appetite. sleep
return to the wasted frame, and every
physical faculty gains greater activity
through its benign influence. Nor is this
all, for the Bitters have most genial
and cheering effect upon the mind of the
respondent invalid, which is the natural
effect of the increased bodily vitality which
they produce. Nervous sysptoms disap-
pear in consequence of the use of this
medicine, and the evil consequences sure
to result from a premature decay of
the physical energies are averted

The young gentleman who writes up the
Rock Island Locals" Of the Davenport
Gazette will find out sooner or later thatit
is no disgrace to man that he is a farmer,
and that it is perfectly legitimate to men
ton the fact when speaking of a candidate
who has been taken from that class of our
fellow citizens. Any little sHeers at Mr..
Wilson on account of his friendly cOnnec-
ton with his brother agriculturists will only
serve to make him more solid with the
country people generally, and on the whole
it was probably good thing and will make
Mr.. Wilson friends that the young gentle
man had an opportunity to express himself
in that kind of belittling etyle about the
farmers of this county,
For the bene6t.of the same young gen.
tleman we maysfurther add that Honest
George M. Luken." whose business con-
nection with the Union he seems to think
detracts either from Luken's democracy or
the Unions republicanism, was also far.
naer for pine years, and still has one of the
best farms in this county. Mr.. Luken is
not ashamed of the fact of having been q
farmer, nor is he any less democrat be-
cause in the course of his life he has had
occasion to do business with men belong
ing to the republican party.
AS the term ''honest" seems to CRATE
upon the young gentleman's ear as some
thing he is not familiar with in republican
circles, we take occasion to remind hin
that however much himself and his brotheI
Republicans may ignore its existence in pc
litical affairs, among democrats it is consid
cred an essential qualification in candi
date for Office. The lessons of political lif
as taught by the republican party during
the last ten years, eliminating in the thief
of the presidency of the nation, it will b
readily admitted have not tended to Civ
young republicans very exalted idea Q
political honesty, and as the young gentle
mans connection with politics in all prob
ability does not antedate the era of repuh
lican corruption, his feeble ridicule of tn
necessity of honesty in public officers ma
be attributed to the influence of his politi
cal surroundings.
The great body of the people, however
as to a candidate for Office, have sti
wholesome regard for the old-fashione
! democratic principle-''is he honest, is b
a capable."

For Appearance Sake,

Since the failure of the nationals to in

the managers Of that party have decided
to keep their candidates in the field simply
for appearance sake" The candidates
on the national ticket have practically given
up the contest and many of the members
of the party will vote the democratic ticket
being satisfied that the reforms can best
be accomplished through the agency of the
democratic party who will have a working
majority in both branches of the next con-
gress. This course on the part of the

In last evenings ARGUS appeared an
item in which E. Fl. Lewis was made to
appear as county charge. Mr.. Lewis
says he is a minor, is married and
has been sick. That he came here from
Peoria about four months ago; that be
accepted an order from Overseer Sweeney
conditionally; that the order was paid
back to Sweeney by his Q1ewis'l guardian
and that since that time all expenses have
been paid by bis guardian
Overseer Sweeney, on the other hand.
states that three weeks ago, he wrote to
j. A. Marshall at Joliet, guardian of E.
H. Lewis, that over week elapsed before
he received any answer, and the guardian
stated he would try and send some money
the following week. None came. however.
and Mr.. Sweeney wrote to the clerk of
Will county about the matter. In the
meantime Mr.. Sweeney was called to visit
Lewis and found him and wife
sick and destitute, ETC., and
an order was given him on August
Huesing for groceries. Yesterday Judge
Adams, at suggestion of Mr.. Sweeney
wrote to the probate Judge Of Will county
to find out about the matter. The only
error Of fact made in The ARGUS last
evening as far as can be ascertained was
in saying that Lewis goods were at the
depot, and that he came from Joliet. His
goods have been taken out Of the depot
and he came here from Peoria instead Of
Joliet Our information was obtained
from Judge Adams and County Clerl
Cook and with exceptions of errors nance
was as given by them. This correction il
made in justice to all parties concerned
Lewis says that when he gets money from
his guardian all debts will be paid. Tn,
overseer has vouchers for all his transac
tions and unless Lewis guardian pay
, Huesing' S order, the county of course viii
, have to do so.

An Article in the New York Indepen.
dent, Sept. 18th, 1879, SAYS:

While the producing class have found
great difficulty in making ends meet,
those who have been keen enough to fore
see the drift of events, have turned their
attention toward Wall street, and made
handsome amounts by simply taking ad-
vantage of opportunities offered there by
tho exigencies of the times. Stocks, bonds,
and money securities are merely tokens of
the surplus wealth of the country, and the
pressuresof circumstances makes it necess-
airy that hundreds of millions of dollars
worth OF these should change hands every
day,through the New ork Stock Exchange.
There is always a margin of profit for some
one in these transfers, and it is these mar
ginal pro6tssthat attract people from all
parts OF the country to secure q share in
them. The extensive banking and broke
rage house of Messrs. Lawrence IL Co., 81
Broad ST., n. Y, has introduced the most
popular and profitable style of operating in
stocks yet known which is adapted to the
understanding and means of all classes.
This is the Combination Method, Fgiving
to each member all the advantageous of
unlimited capital and the largest expert
ence in operating, A party wishing to
take turn at the market can place with
Messrs. Lawrence & Co, sos, $50, 500
or $500, as the case may be-, and obtain
shares IN one OF their com binations, and
from these sums realize profit of from
FIVE to ten times the amount invested with
in thirty days. Many of their customers
are in receipt of fabulous profits. One
man made over ST., 100 from 5000. Anoth
er $3.50 from 1925. We have thoroughly
investigated the combination system, and
are satisfied that it is founded upon cor
rect and safe principles. assuring TO those
