Jefferson, Thomas 1163 Porter 1872
We give above the respective
woes Of Porter, Rand olph and Nc
Farland. We do not give the Re
publican vote for Governor, it hav
ing been divided between Thomas,
Nancy and Yardly; AID we give the
vote Of Jefferson. which is not in this
Congressional District; but in the
1st Chancery Division. Frem the
vote it will be seen, rs compared
with the Randolph aud McFarla,d
vote ia 1876, the Republican, major-
ty il this Judicial Circuit il % /, and
compared with the Porter and Ran
dolph vote 1899. The Republican
papers claim majority ofGrom 300
to 1900.
In the Chancery Division compar-
ed with the Randolph and AIcFar,
land vote, and taking the Porter and
Thomas vote of Jefferson the Repub-
lican majority is 1927 and as COM
pared with the Randolph and Porter
vote taking the vote Of Jefferson rs
above the Republican majority is
2420. So it will be seen that we
have in the one race 10 overcome a
majority of from 1.O00-to LOO and
in the other OF from |, 5000 1000.
It is no use trying to conceal the
matter. Our Republican friends IN.
derstand this as we'll as we do. It
is worse than foolishness TO talk
about an easy victory for the Dem
ocratic candidates for Chancellor
and Circuit Judge. None but the
best men can have ghost ofchanee.
In the person Of Judge Mckinney.
we feel certain we have man who
can win. ~6estf 6Fs

We copy below al article from
the RogersvilIe Spectator giving Tho
vote Of this Judicial Circuit in the
last election. 1t is not very en-
couraging exhibit for some OF our
friends who are anxious to run the
race for Judge this summer, but it
is always best for people to under
stand the situation We believe
Judge Mckinney can overcome
these majorities, while we are salts
fed no one else can.

REGULAR WoRK.-rhe widow {

REGULAR WoRK.-Fhe widow of
a Federal soldier living in Claiborne
county, some years ago, made APP
plication for q pension for her three
minor children. When the papers
were sent up to the Pension Depart
ment at Washington. it was noticed
that the three children were all set
down as being born on the same day
Of the same month, exactly two
years apart. This excited the sus-
picions Of the Agent, and lie re-
turned the papers for additional
proof. That officer thought It was
a fixed up job, bat upon examina-
ton it was found that the family
Bible and the old ladies' in the neigh
borhooG corroborated and sustained
the papers in the case, and the young
ones had actually come with just
precisely that elegance Of regularity.
That woman would do TO rely on.

How the Parties Stood.

A friend writing from another
county wishes to know if the article
we published under the head Of En-
c0Nragjaq' from the Bristol Courier
as to the Republican majorites in the
first Judicial Circuit and first Chan
Gerry Division are correct, They
are most assuredly 50, ana furnish
matter for careful reflection. From
an oiIicia! copy of the vote we give
itas it is. In the election Of Nov.
1876, the vote stood as follows:

the 9th of March. Handbills had
been printed for three weeks before
the meeting was held, and circulated
all over the county, and there were
at least two hundred Republicans in
town that day. As a primary meet
ing it struck us as decided success.
We know nothing of how the thing
was managed privately; we only
speak OF what we saw publicly. Ev-
erything appeared to us to be fair

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT.

The National LincolH Monument,
arising to the hsigl of $50 feet, is plain
ly visible for several miles in nearly
every direction. at Is composed of
Quincy, Mass, granite, and like our own
Soldiers Monument on the Campus Nor
thus. is still incomplete: lacking two of
the four colossal emblematic groups that
are to be placed at the csrnsrs Of the
monument above the crypt and memorial
chamber. An excellent bronze statue Of
Lincoln, some l015 feet high, is placed
midway between the infantry and ma
val groups already in position. .
Something over $3.50, 900 has been ex-
pended on this monument. The whole
amount, with the exception Of small APP
preparation by the Illinois Legislature,
was voluntary, free will offering from
the people to the memory of their mar
tyred President. Sixty thousand school
children contributed their m ties to the
cause. Twenty seven thousand dollars
are required 20 complete the monument
by placing the other two groups (Artil
lsry and Cavalry in position, most of
which, l understand, is in the hands of
the comm ittee.
The remains OF Mr.. Lincoln and his
sons Tad" and Willie are deposited in
the crypt in the base OF the nonumen t..
Your readers will recollect the thrill of
horror and indignation that passed
through the land about year ago, when
the telegraph gave the startling inteili-
gence that an almost successful attsm pt
had been made to steal the remains of
Abraham Lincoln. Had the ghouls
been undisturbed ten minutes longer
they would have carried their design in
to effect. When surprised aRd frighten =
ed away, they had sawed off the lock
tsat held the grated iron door, and pried
open the marble sarcophagus that con-
tanned the hallowed remains, taken out
the marble slab at the end, and commenc-
ed TO slide out the leaden coffin. The Sc
desecrstors were shortly after arrested,
tried. and sentenced to one gears i'm.
7tSonnaent In the penltentiary at Joliet.
A sentence severe enough the Democratic
judge thought.
In the base Of the monument on the op-
posite side Of the crypt, is the Lincoln Me-
mortal Chamber. 1t is filed with very
many interesting relics and merAentoss
Of the martyr President. The sides of
the chamber are hung with addresses Of
cendolence with Mrs. Lincoln and the
Nation at tLsir Irrsparsbls loss, from
governments, societies, and distinguish
ed men and women Of nearly every ma
tion on the globe. A volume could be
filed with descriptions of the articles in
this chamber. Mr.. Lincoln's cid sur
veyor's chain, compass, and Jacobs staff,
together with either relics connected with
his early life, are here preserved.

A WORD FOR WoRKINGMkN.- The
road to independence lies, for most pso-
pie, through the narrow gate ofeconomy.
1t is not always II pleasant place. 1t
requires sacrifice, but it repays the sacri
fce with interest. There are some who
do not need to ecsnomize-peopls who
are able TO spend money pretty much as
they please. The more this class of peo-
pie spend the better tor society. What
wound be praise-worthy economy for
some would be downright stinginess for
them. Nobody is rich enough to be
wastefGl but those Who are able ought to
purchase freely the products of genius
and industry, and thus give employment
to the workers. The rich err by hoard
ing, the poor by spending toe freely.
The road to independence lies through
saving something OF what is made, not
always in making much. 1t is only when
the expenses are too great that the busi-
ness does not pay. The household is like
q business enterprise; it is never nnan-
cially prosperous unless more comes into
it than goes out. The ar: of saving con
eists in buying we'll A person of limit
ed means must resist many temptations
to buy things. Too many people make
the mistake Of buying a cheap article in
stead OF dear one, and imagine they are
economzing. The mistake consists in
buying the article at all. They could
net afford it, cheap or dear, and it is a
wise rule to buy few things, but good
ones.
Another essential rIle in tho art OF
saving is never to spend money before
you get it. Do without the coveted
treasure bs it luxury or necessity, until
the money is in your pocket, and then
you will know better how it ought to be
spent. Buy substantial! things. If the
amount of money that is worse than
thrown away each year for evanescent
trlies and snowy gew gaws by people in
EN- barrassed circumstances could be as
certained and footed up the result would
be appalling, The money is simply
wasted, and ihe saving Of it would go far
toward puilng Ihe spcndel. in com
