good one. Conventions are often SQUIRE
Of great strife, and are often controlled "
designing and schcming men. Especially
would this be the case in mixed conver-
ton such as is suggested. Both political
parties would most likely insist Oh mai
that suited their political views, and the
defeated candidates and their friends would
feel under no obligations to abide the de
cision Of such a convention. II the Re-
publicans were not pleased with the mar,
they would say he is not our man, and W,
will nominate man from our own ranks
and vice versa
The suggestion of convention is so in
timately associated with Judge Walls
name, that many persons may be deluded
into the belief that twas made with hi,
knowledge and sanction. We take it upon
ourselves to say that, if such belief is en-
tertained, it does Judge Wall great Unjust.
ice. Judge Wall as much or more than
any other man in the district, influenced
Judge Mulkey in avowing his candidacy
Knowing Judge Mulkcy and approaching
his eminent fitness for the position, by
reason of his age and great ability a, law
yer, Judge Wall was one Of the first Ia urge
the Judge to enter the field, promising him
a cheerful and cordial support. 1t is quite
impossible, therefore, that Judge Wall
can lend his sanction to any movement that
does not recognize the candidacy Of Judge
Mulkey. He is everywhere known as a
gentleman of the strictest moral integrity,
and, even were it not the case that he oc-
cupies place only one step below that Of
Supreme Judge, it would be quite impos-
sible for him to encourage the Use Of his
own name or the name of any other man in
connection with the Office for which Judge
Mulkey is candidate.

THE DEATH RATE or our country is get
ting tearfully alarming, the average Of life
being lcsscned every year, without any rca-
sonablc cause, the death resulting generally
from the most lnsignigcant origin. At this
season Of the year especially, cold is such
a common thing that in the hurry Of every
day life we are apt to overlook the dangers
attending it and often find too late, that a
Fever and Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands loose their lives in this way
every winter, while had Boshee's German
Syrup been taken a cure would have result
ed, and large bill of doctor beenavoided.
For all diseases of the throat and lungs.
Boschees German Syrup has proven itself
to be the greatest discovery of its kind in
medicine. Every druggist in the country
will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over
100000 bottles sold last year without a
single failure known.

THE election in this, the First Judicial
District of the Southern Grand Division,
will be held on the 2lst day of next June.
The district is formed of the following
counties, viz st. Clair, Clinton, Washing
ton, Jefferson, Wayne, Edwards, White,
Hamilton, Wabash, Perry, Randolph, Mon
roe, jackson. Williamson, Saline, Gallatin,
Hardin, Pope, Union. johnson, Alexander,
Pulaski and Massac--23 counties, contain
ing population of about 100000 souls.
The Office, because of the long period of
service, the abundant emoluments and high
honor, is one of the most desirable in the
gift of the people. The district is over
whelmingly democratic, yet it has never been
suggested that the contest be made politi-
cal one. On the contrary current opinion
is strongly averse to such contest. 1t is
needless to say what would be the case if
the district were as strongly Republican as
il is Democratic.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says that the
sickness and deaths among the congress
men arises from the change of habits OF
members from home life to Washington life
This change is sometimes very marked, and
unless the laws of health are properly re.
garded, disease is very apt to follow
There is no reason why, with proper care in
dressing, eating and drinking, members OF
congress should not be as healthy while at
Washington as at home. No one of the
congressman recently deceased came to his
death from any cause more peculiar to
Washington than to the places they repre-
sent. Ne impure air of either Washing
ton or the capitol had anything to do with
the death OF any ofthe deceased.

DISCUSSION OF THE CIPHER TELE-
EGRAM BUGABOO.

We think the Democrats in Congress
made mistake in insisting upon an inves-
tigAtion of the cipher telegram bugaboo, for
the very reason urged by General Butler,
viz: that II found to be all that Republican
newspapers claim them to be, they implicate
only individuals, and individuals, too, over
whom Congress has no control. But the
discussion Of the matter relieved the dull
ness Of the House, somewhat, and for the
Arst tune In weeks the gallery was filled
with spectators. Mr.. Potter, who seems to
have been assigned the lead in the matter,
gave his reasons for entering the motion.
He talked with great deliberation, alto
gether st variance with his usual lightning
diction. He Is usually the most difficult

NO CONVENTION, If YOU PLEASE.

NO CONVENTION, If YOU PLEASE.
Judge Mulkey, of this city, has been an
avowed candidate for seat on the Supreme
bench, as the successor of the lamented
Breese, for period of more than three
months. While, during that interval, he
has received the endorsement of more than
three.fourths Of all the papers published in
the district, from no quarter have we heard
breath Of opposition to him. If, among
the newspaper men directly concerned,
there are any who prefer another man, no
voice has as yet been given to that prefer
ence Indeed, it seems to be a generally
accepted as a fact that Judge Mulkey is to be
the candidate for the position. The law
yers Of the district encouraged him to avow
his candidacy, and not until he felt we'll
assured that there would he no scramble"
or heated contest, did he enter the field.

The Remaining Public Lands.


The land area of the United States is
$3.50, ,23S square miles, or 2,291 1852, ,23O
acres. If you add the water surface of
the great lakes and rivers the total area
of the United States is over four million
square miles. The public lands in the
different States and Territories, leaving
out-beeause they never had any-the
thirteen originabStates ard the admitted
States of Vermont, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Maine, Texas and West Virginia and
the District of Columbia, amounted
originally to l,8l4,769,9l0 acres, Or con-
siderably more than two-thirds of the en-.
tire landed territory of the United States.
OF this there had been, up to 1878,
surveyed 714,572,737 acres, leaving un-
surveyed 1,10l, 1877, 1873 acres. None of
the unsurveyed land had been sold, and
great deal of the surveyed had not
been. 1t is estimated that the unsold
public lands of the United States amount
to about 1,300,000,00O acres. Less than
half of the lands disposed of were sold
for cash or donated in small lots to ac-
tual settlers under the Homestead or
pre-emption acts. The remainder, az
gregating upward Of 250,000,0 900 acres,
