A CONSIDERABLE DAUGHTER. - What
was intended to be marriage up town
Wednesday evening was spoiled because
the bride at the last moment refused to
have the ceremony performed. Before
beginning the ceremony the minister
asked if the parents had consented, and
neither answered. but when the two stood
on the floor together and the question
was asked the bride, "Do you take this
man as your husbands" she replied in a
firm tone, Mo- The minister was in a
fix, bu, as the lady persisted in her an
swer, he could only tell them that the
ceremony could rot proceed, and the
couple went to the carriage and started
back for home. Before they went the
lady told the minister the reason for her
action. She said that after he had asked
them whether their parents had consent
ed to their union, she thought over the
matter, aud had come to the conclusion
that, rs her mother was dead, she ought
to get the consent of her father before
she married, and MS he so far had been
opposed to the match, she had made up
her mind to see whether he would not re-
lent, and, if he did, then she would re-
turn at some other time and have the
ceremony performed.-Kensingtsn (Ne'

NapOle0n's Prediction on Russia.

Now that the Turko. Russian war is
raging and all eyes are turned to Con-
stantinople, the bone of contention of Eu
rope, it may be of interest to quote an
opinion given by Napoleon at ST. Helena,
in 1917, to his surgeon, Barry O'Meara ::
"In the course of a few years" added
he, "Russia will have Constantinople, the
greatest part of Turkey, and all Greece.
This | hold to be as certain as if it had
already taken place. Almost all the
cabling and fattering which Alexander
practiced toward me was to gain my con-
sent to effect this object. l would not
consent, foreseeing that the equilibrium
of Europe would be destroyed.
"In the natural course of things, in a
few years Turkey must fall TO Russia.
The greatest part of her population are
Greeks, who, you may say, are Russians.
The powers it would injure, and who
could oppose it, are England, France, Prus-
STA and Austria. Now, as to Austria, it
would be very easy for Russia to engage
her assistance by giving her Servia and
other provinces bordering upon the Aus
TRAN dominions, reaching near to Constan-
tinople. The only hypothesis that France
and England may ever be allied with sin
cerity will be in order to prevent this.
But even this alliance will not avail.
France, England and Prussia united can
not prevent it. Russia and Austria can at
auy time effect it. Once mistress of Con-
stantinople, Russia gets all the commerce
ofthe Mediterranean, becomes great naval
power, and heaven knows what may hap
pen. She quarrels with you, marches off
to India an army of 10000 good soldiers.
which to Russia is nothing, and 100000
canaille, Cossacks and others, and England
loses India.
"Above all other powers Russia is most
to be feared, especially by you. Her
soldiers are drawer than the Austrians,
and she has the means of raising as many
as she pleases. In bravery, the French
and English soldiers are the only ones to
be pared to them. All this l foresaw.

The number of the candidates which are
being brought out for congressman in this
district, illustrates 10 an eminent degree the
patriotic devotion tothe interest of the eoun.
try OF our republican friends. While large
number OF possible candidates have been
spoken o. the contest evidently lies be-
tween ten. T. j. Henderson, present
member, and Judge Lynde of Rock Island,
with Judge Waite thrown into the scales
as o trading capital.
Last week 8 Galya journal throws little
side light upon the political board which
indicates that nice little trade Is going on,
by which Henry County is to be turned
over to our Rock Island neighbors, thus
securing the nomination of Judge Lynde
tor congress in the place of Henderson,
after a mplimentary vote for Judge
Waite. to place him on the track for the
race two years hence; and rs part of this
nice little arrangement, and to keep the
southern part OF the county from kicking
out OF the traces" the Geneseo Republic
recently put in nomination Hon. NJ. M.
Ford OF Galva for the state senate. But
kewanee is factor of some consequence
10 this controversy, and having presented
the bame of Judge G.. G. Wilson for the
state senate, will most likely refuse to be
Drlbed to the support of Judge Lynde by
the candldature of the Hon. M. NJ. Ford:
seeing which the Rock Island Uaion now
comes out with covert threat that unless
the Henry County Republicans accede to
the demands of Rock Island on the co.,
gresslonal question, they will claim their
right to furnish the candidate for the state
senate. This muddle is likely, we think,
to react upon kewanee, for having the
temerlty to present a candidate for the
state senate without first getting the con-
sent OF the central ring, and we may expect
20 near the charge repeated, that Kewanee
is regarded as an unreliable republican
town, aud therefore is deserving of no con-
sideratlon III the distribution of the official
spolls. This is about the way the game
appears as presented blythe side light" of
the journal and the developments in other
quarters, and there can be little doubt that
a strong effort is being made to 'shelve"
Gen. Henderson, that Rock Island NAV
again have representative in congress.
50 long as Gen. Henderson discharges his
duties in satisfactory manner, we can see
20 advantages to be derived by the peo
pie 10 the change proposed. But there
would be justice in making the change,
providing the place should be filled by
Henry County man, inasmuch as this
county has heretofore been wholly ignored
IN the selection of candidates. Next to a
candidate OF their own. however, the senti-
ment OF this part of the county we are
confident is decidedly 10 favor of the return
of Gen. Henderson.
Z. s. Since the above was written we have
heard rumor that all this wire pulling
means j. b. Hawley, and not Judge

under the administrations of Secretaries

PACIFIC RAILWAY FUNDING BILL.
The debate in the Senate on the Funding
Bill was enlivened yesterday by an allusion
to the pressure now being brought to bear

Mr.. Edmunds, of Vermont, deserves credit
for the sharp and pointed manner in which
he referred to the practices of this railroad
lobby, their distribution of passes, purchase
of newspapers, and the like. 1t is the opin-
ion of well-informed men that not for a
long time has lobby been seen in Wash
ington so formidable as that now seeking to
defeat the bill of the Judiciary Committee.
But they have overdone the business, and
every day makes them weaker.

get up the tariff bill to-day. 1t is un-
derstood the Appropriations Committee

bill.

The Ways and Means Committee are still
not agreed ON the subject of the income tax
bill. Messrs. Wood, Taylor and Phelps are

ject be reported.
